If you own a 2017 Tacoma you need to check...

Take a look at this thread:

My 2017 has 65,409 miles on it. My battery was going bad for the second time and it was under warranty so I took it into the dealer for a replacement battery. Well guess what. Mine is also leaking. Under extended warranty. They said the cost will be ~$4000 to fix. Best way to fix is pull the motor.

Have anyone else here had this problem?

 

$4000 for a leaky battery?

 

Timing chain cover lol, but it's not worded well.

 

Looks like you can get entire crate engines for 4k.

 

'17 Tacoma - No noticeable leaks at 67,500, but developed substantial leak by 75,000. Timing cover seal, rear main seal, and rack & pinion leak. Full motor-out repair for seals and full rack/pinion replacement. Quoted about $9k at Camelback Toyota.

Sad to say I traded her in... the 4Runner got promoted to daily driver.

Good luck out there gentlemen (and ladies).
