    I have a 2013 Tacoma 2WD Prerunner. I have been having issues. I would drive truck, everything fine, then park truck and return an hour later and it would not start. It is turning over, lights, radio, fans, etc works. Had it towed to Toyota shop. Once it got off the tow truck it was able to turn on. The techs could not find a problem. No codes came up. They said battery was low. Had the battery replaced and truck ran fine for 2 weeks. The same thing happened again, drove it, parked it and it would not start. Turning over but not starting. Had it towed back to Toyota dealership. They had it for 12 days. They said it was running. They called out a master technician who could not recreate the problem. Drove it home after 12 days, parked it overnight and it wouldn’t start again. About 2 months later, still not starting and had it towed to a different mechanic shop. They had it for a few hours and called me and said it is running. They replaced a “fuel relay switch”. Went to pick it up and it didn’t start. It was the end of day and they said they would push it in to shop and look at it in the morning. They said it started right up in the morning! I drove it home. Stopped it and started it multiple times and it was running. Next day, it wouldn’t start! Does anyone know of this issue? No codes are coming up?? I would appreciate any help and thanks for reading long text.

    I bought it brand new in 2013. The truck was rear ended about 5 years ago but minor accident. Insurance paid to have bumper fixed.
