    One of my high school students told me that Toyota forgot to install the Johnson Rod Assembly in the new third gen

    they are constantly low on blinker fluid.

    the power bands get saggy real quick, it comes with the blue power band, yuck

    the muffler bearings are complete shit

    the spark plug hollow core wire doesn't work on this model

    Every engine bay I have seen has the 710 cap put in upside down. They all say 01L, idiots!

    The All Wheel Drive belts lose their tension just over 9000 miles

    you can't do the cross drilled brake line mod because then the ABS won't work

    The engine oil bypass kit seems to work fairly well, but only for about 50 miles

    you need a left handed screw driver to intall the lowering kit

    For real, though, has anyone tried piston return springs? seems that might help the atkinson cycle out

    Isn't the 4 litre Atkinson cycle also. Pretty much the same technology, just refined. I'm sure the 2016's are fine. It's a Toyota

    So far here at my dealer we haven't seen any injector issues on any 2016 V6 models. I will poke around with a few of our master techs and see if they can lend any insight.

    I heard it's not a true atkinson cycle. They went to a menstrual cycle mid production. Supposedly the flow is better.



    Eeewww.

    My wife's dealership bought back a V6 tacoma because it had the same injector issues. Truck had less than 200 miles on it.

    I'm furious at Toyota, my friend told me that for more torque and MPG you slowly lean out the gas with diesel. Now I need 6 new injectors and pistons, and the dealer won't cover it under warranty... What ever happened to Toyota reliability?????

    yes a 2016, it was one bank of injectors(cylinders 1,3, and 5) that were malfunctioning so they bought it back. They've had a few other 2016 V6s come in for small issues also, but nothing major like that one. Not deterring me though. As soon as the 2016s become available for employee discount at her dealership, I'm getting one.

    Do they give you a refund or replacement truck? I keep thinking about that 2016 Maxima that I drove. Damn that was sweet.

    "2016 Tacoma's give you diarrhea."
    "My Tacoma gets wet when I drive in the rain, what should I do?"
    "I got a flat tire, from a nail. RECALL!"

    We need to start revoking man cards around here.

    Sometimes these forums are worst than the media.

    "Whole bunch" of new Taco's with injector issues, but only quoted 1 particular issue. Text book rumor mill production.

    It is a shame there is no "ignore thread" button like the ignore people button. There are several threads I would add. :thumbsup:
