    Yeah yours works great and so do some for others but I've been around here lurking long enough to know I'm not alone and this generation has been suspect at best.

    Complaining yea you darn right I am complaining. My truck from Reliable Toyota has been a total piece of shit. Pissed away god knows how many tens of thousands on this rolling nightmare.

    lol @Toyota. That's what you get for letting marketers design your trucks instead of engineers. Go back to the 1st gen traditions!

    I've seen so many threads on how these Turd Gens suck now I think my next truck is gonna be a 5.7 Ram.

    Trade it for a dodge since they're more reliable than Tacoma's now.

    Yeah, the internet plus four trips to the dealer to get a starting issue fixed. Not to mention evidence of a differential leak and the howling ass end. If I only drove it in the city I might not be as concerned, but I go deep into the boonies where flatbed tow trucks might not want to go. At this point a Tundra is looking better.

    Your dealer fixed your hard start issue by replacing your injector. Intermittent starting issue can take time to fix but it has been resolved now. The diff leak and howl will be taken care of by the dealer under warranty. The amazing thing about Toyota is that they will take care of issues that the domestics wouldn't even consider resolving.

    Hmm I dunno. Dude trades in a vehicle, is over35k in what he owes on it, bad loan terms and then the recall comes out and suddenly his investment is viewed as a death trap.

    You bought the first year of a new gen vehicle with a terrible loan rate. I'm not trying to be mean but is this less about the recall and more about the fact that you made some impulsive decisions?

    Look, some of these diffs are leaking. Unless you're coming out to your vehicle with a puddle under your truck it's not that big of a deal. Go see your dealer. I gotta ask, are you attempting to lemon law your truck? Because that's sort of the impression im getting.
