Hello

I live near KCMO. Bought my first Tacoma about 3 weeks ago. Used, 2 wheel drive , 5-speed 2006. Already having problems. Excited about Tacoma and happy to find this forum.

 

Welcome to TW! What problems are you having?

 

Mary! Hello...

Already having problems? That ain't good. No doubt the folks on this forum will help you out right quick.

What kind of problems are you having?

Welcome to the forum by the way.

 

Welcome from N.J.

 

First maintenance light came on. Not gas cap. Toyota dealer says it is the fuel neck fill gasket and whole assembly must be replaced for $500 + .

 

Did you truck some with any kind of warranty? 3 weeks after buying it should have something.

And welcome

 

Thanks for the warm welcomes. Drive Train only. Do not know if I can even trust dealer assessment at this point.

 

Are you sure its not the light for the oil change reminder?

 

Sure about that. Oil has already been changed. First readings suggested it was a loose gas cap, and things have moved on to "fuel neck filler gasket". i am told that there is no gasket, that the entire thing must be replaced.

 

Oh okay got yah. I know this might sound stupid but have you tried to reset the oil change reminder?

 

How would I do that?

 

you should have 30 days from purchase to diagnose difficulties from most dealers and sellers.
Get a second opinion on the filler tube--that seems HIGH--the tank might need to be dropped--thats a pain in the ass. get it checked at a second place.
RECHECK you sales slip for warranty. I am thinking 30 days--unless it is a PRIVATE seller.
30 days from dealers --standard practice.

 

Hold down the trip/odometer button then turn the key to on but do not start the truck and you will see some lines do a count down.

 

I see your gender has changed==LOL-just giving you a hard time.
Do not let the DEALER sell you something that you do not need.

 

Hey Kevin, Yes, I was shocked to see that I was a male. I do not think original sign in gave me a choice. I made the rounds with the maintenance light. Everyone had a different answer. I bit the bullet and paid Toyota $97 to diagnosis the problem. I will call around to get prices on the fuel neck filler replacement. I agree, the dealer should be responsible for this. I have been contacting them, and yesterday, I was told they would call me back, and now nothing.

 

Hey Dan, I did as you recommended and nothing happened.

 

Oh okay that sucks. Did it at least do the countdown and reset the reminder?

 

The oil change reminder light was not on. It did nothing.

 

No I meant did it do the countdown?

 

No countdown.
