Questions about NEW TACOMA, 1500 Miles.

Hello,
Im new to ‘TacomaWorld’ and am a new owner of a 2018 Tacoma. Have never owned a truck before but had some concerns about the engine sounds 2nd day of ownership. When I took it in 4 months ago, and asked to listen to other Tacoma’s with same engine (4cylindar), I did not hear the same ‘knocking’ ‘clanking’ sounds... just hoping some seasoned taco owners could verify this is a ‘Normal’ sound, as the dealership rudely told me. Truck is back in the dealership shop for the past 20 days, 1500 miles on it for charcoal canister valve replacement and still was not passing the testing...

After heated complaints to customer service, 4 hours later, somewhat conveniently,called to tell me of reported/suspected rat damage to a fuel line...



Been in the shop for an accumulation of 22 days (nearly a quarter of our ownership).. Bummed and frustrated.

 

Welcome TW. Please change you thread title to something other Help, something more along the lines of your question. Help, please help, are reserved for people who are in an accident or stuck. Go to thread tools edit title. If he doesn’t do it can @jberry813 change it.

 

Sorry to hear that man, sounds rough. Sounds like a shitty dealership as well. As long as you go into a place with a positive attitude you should never receive backlash especially from a sales rep who knows jack squat about engines. Good luck with everything and hopefully they find the problem.

 

Her name has Hawaii in and if she’s here we only have one company that deals in Toyota’s and they’re service sucks. We call it the servco mafia

You might want to ask in here too it’s all 4 bangers in here

 

So so sorry about the title, my bad!

And, thank goodness I’m not the only one who has had problems with the so-called-‘customer service’... honestly thought it was because I’m a woman, which fueled the fire even more.

Any thoughts on engine sound?

 

Thanks for the link! Not sure how to post to this specific thread (above). Should I just reply to someone?

 

Do you have a friend with the same set up as you to compare it too. It does sound fairly normal.

 

Just click it and then post your question in there.
