check engine and trac off light

just recieved a call from ron at servco waipahu and he related that they have the lead technician looking into the problem. said that vehicle was misfiring and they think its the computer but is unsure at this time. gave him my view of the situation and said to come into servco so i will be going down this afternoon. ill post again after the meeting.

 

update:
spoke with the sales manager and they said im gonna get a new tacoma. super happywith the outcome. they were not done with the testing so im not sure what the problem was exactly. only changes is the interior and exterior colors which is gonna be white ext and grey int. also got deals on the TRD pro wheels and open country A/T tires.

 

awesome news. I suspect they will be going through your truck with a fine tooth comb.

 

Congrats

 

That's sweet. I knew a guy with a Silverado where GM only offered him a new engine at 500 kms

 

yup best news possible. im sure they will inspect everything to find a solution. the service guy was initally saying that they were just gonna replace the parts and give the truck back to me but he later said that we were gonna talk with the sales manager and figure things out.

thanks bro. super stoked. now the waiting game.lol truck should arrive at the dealership sometime next week.

 

im glad they did not shaft me with the truck and replacement parts.

 

Your truck is going to be pulled apart by Toyota engineers to see if they can find a weak point that didn't show up before launch.

 

His truck is going to die so my (future) truck can have a better life. Sir, I appreciate your sacrifice.

I request that you post pictures of your new-new truck with the TRD-pro wheels installed.

Also, must have really sucked for that Lead Tech to have to fly into Hawaii. He'll probably have to be there over the weekend to make sure everything gets checked out properly.

 

just doing my part for the greater good of thr tacoma community.lol

will definitely post up pics once new wheels and tires are mounted and yea im pretty sure the lead tech dont mind being in hawaii for a lil bit.

 

@A1Cfuji

Glad that Toyota can extend that type of service to a customer.
Let us know what happened!!

 

Had an issue with one the other day, sounds like the same thing. Had it figured out but Toyota still wanted to look at it. Called parts back to investigate further

 

If you find out anymore info in what went wrong, please post.

Glad you are getting a new one. You're lucky, most of us would probably have to put up a fight and deal with lemon laws. Congrats.

 

Holy $hit... that must had been some problem...

 

I'd say the trade was on the dealer and not Toyota. They don't buy back vehicles that quick. Even when there is a major problem they field techs look at it and the vehicle gets repaired.

Believe it was a slight issues that resolved itself. Still replaced suspected part anyways. Can't get into details due to work rules.

 

Awesome that the dealership and Toyota gave you a new truck ...... congrats...... GREAT customer service

 

I do think Toyota keeps an eye on with what is going on in these forums. I have seen companies on mountain bike forums chime in actually on issues related to their products and people starting threads discussing their issues.

 

That is awesome.

 

Shit!!! there's a ghost in the picture!!!!!

 

I just got my truck today, drove 80 miles on CEL code P0598 some sort of heater control or something. Gonna have to go back to dealer. Pretty pathetic but hoping it will be resolved soon
