    this would be for a 2015 Tacoma with 59,200 miles on it.

    I started this thread recently https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/jerky-shifting-around-40-45-mph.539365/#post-17404238 and I reset the computer by disconnecting the battery and that didnt fix the issue. it seems to be getting worse.....and a few times if you are at that speed and go to accelerate faster, it will to shift into that gear pretty hard.

    I see that the warranty is 3 yr/36,000 mi basic, 5 yr/60,000 mi power-train.

    the truck has no issues at all at any other speeds except when its in the 40-45 mph range .

    not sure how Toyota stands by their products as this is my first time owning one of these.....

    any input would be great as I plan on going up there tomorrow morning .

    In 800 miles you will be out of warranty.
    5 years OR 60,000 miles,which ever comes first.

    Get it to the dealership before you hit 60K miles and anything powetrain related should be covered.

    that part I am not worried about as its going there tomorrow and its just up the road. my issue / worry is that they will try and say that its something not covered under the power train warranty and will have to pay out of pocket for this. I dont mind paying for something....but there has be an issue with the transmission if everything is fine except for when you are in the 40-45 mph range.
