2024 Tacoma Engine failure

Stop being weirdos and calling the dealer lol.

I was a service manager for years. If someone called me asking about engines blowing up, I wouldn't admit to it. It could potentially hurt dealer sales and get the service manager in trouble.

The dealer has no need to give info like that to some random person calling on the phone.

 

You called the dealer and pretended to be the OP? if that's true, you're a weirdo.

 

No.. I said i am calling in regards to someone's truck and wanted to see how many trucks you have that need engine replacement.

They asked me for the name and i said i don't have it but wanted to see if it is a common issue, they didnt give me any sort of answer.

 

You all are an entertaining bunch.

 

That's even more weird....

No service manager is going to answer that.

 

Yeah, i figured that as i asked

 

who's weirder, the guy following up on a possible blown engine lead to see if it's true. Or the guy who comes into a truck forum daily, that he won't own, to bash it 24/7...

 

Who’s going to start calling towing companies in Modesto/Stockton area?????

 

Im not making any phone calls now

At the same time, if there were 2 other taco's getting engines replaced as OP said and those were already sold, maybe one of them would still come forward on this forum to tell everyone their issues with the truck.

OP going radio silent, maybe he forgot his phone or laptop in the truck.

 

Most definitely the guy calling a dealership to try and get info to see if it’s true or not.

 

Clearly the problem is no mention of a 1st gen anywhere

 

Sorry, purchased a 2024 4runner about 6 weeks ago because of the availability and prices of the new Tacoma, no ride needed. However, I am entertained with this entire Friday thread.

 

Yeah 5th gen 4Runners are great. Enjoy the inevitable rust on the tailgate, mine took maybe 20 months to form on my 2022? super entertaining

 

You’re right we should organize and just show up there instead demanding answers! Who’s down for a road trip

 

Good call on the '24 4runner
MADE IN JAPAN

Imagine complaining about tailpipe surface rust, and then trading in your '22 4runner for a '24 Tacoma LOL

 

This is how they get you in the door and driving out in a new 4G.

 

It’s sad.

Plus Toyota recently cheated in their safety tests. CEO apologized.

If they didn’t get caught, he wouldn’t even apologize. So current toyota USA does not give a shit about anyone but themselves.
