    Call the 800 number to voice your concern.
    I have gotten into the habbit, since my Dodge did this often as well, to When starting, keep the key turned until the engine has completely started, then let the key return to the "ON" position. When I started doing that, My Dodge never had the problem return, and I have been starting vehicles like this since. Modern engines wil disengage the starter when the engine has completely started, so you dont have to worry about the starter running on. BUT, still get them to fix it.

    You have an 08 Tacoma that should start everytime....... Get it fixed, you paid your good hard earned cash on it.... why should you settle for 95%..... that 5% will come bite you in the ass when your in Butt F*ckin Egypt and it won't turn over.

    has anybody gotten this hard start TSB done on a 08? My truck has done this twice and I've only had it a few weeks. Took it in and the said no TSB for it (I didn't have this one with me nor did I know about it) and didn't do anything. They blamed it on water in the gas maybe. I don't buy it
