Heard valves tapping alot of time. Reported and took to Toyota. They said no code no work. They gave the line of when this gas hits this part then this one tries to catch up or burn excess fuel. Out of 40 plus years and puchasing many vehicle I never been told that before. I talked to other 2017 owners and they dont have this issue. Also the brakes make metalic clunking noises moving backwars and fowrds when braking. Thier answer was floating valves. And again this issue isnt on other tacomma owners. I tryed three times with valve issues. Same old line no code no work. Maybe pads are worn but still have 70 % left on pads

Noticing that as I come to a stop at the last second the drivetrain seems to snap out of gear causing a very loud clunk at this point the vehicle seems to free wheel forward unsafely.. the jolt you get can be compared to putting the vehicle into gear at too high of an idol, which will cause premature wear and tear to your drivetrain. Also, the engine seems to surge at idol while in gear and if you aren¿T ready for it and you are parking behind something, you run the risk of hitting it.. I have addressed the drivetrain issue with the dealer, but they say they can¿T get this to happen for them. Very interesting considering there seems to be others with similar issues.

problem #10

Tacoma

• 6,500 miles

Engine stalls when attempting rapid acceleration when engine RPM is less than 3000. This is a safety issue. I recently attempted rapid acceleration when making a left turn to avoid a collision where an oncoming driver ran a red light. The engine stalled. I have experienced other similar incidents. I have reported this to my Toyota service center twice. The first time I was told Toyota is aware of the condition, which would be addressed in a software update. The second time I was told my engine was operating within normal specification parameters, and no such software update was forthcoming. It was raining the day I bought this vehicle, so it was not possible to test low end acceleration. I would never have bought this vehicle had I known low end acceleration was so lethargic. On several occasions it has nearly gotten me killed.

I bought a Toyota Tacoma thinking I was purchasing a rough tuff truck. It is by far the weakest truck/car I have ever driven. It has no power, cannot pull more than an inflatable raft, down shifts if a butterfly flies in front of the truck. Gas mileage is pathetic, my kids 2004 Ford Ranger has twice the power and can carry and tow three times as much as the Toyota. The truck is pathetic! shame on you for selling me such a weak shameful truck.

When decelerating at any given time vehicle loses compression at he brake pedals and feels as if though vehicle is thrusting and losing power to engine. And also when slowing down when speed reaches 20 mph, vehicle can be felt almost wanting stall.

My 2017 truck was recalled and I am currently driving a rental. They my truck might take up to 8 weeks to fix, its been close to 4 weeks so far. I use my truck for work and am currently losing wages because I don't have the truck. Why do I need to make monthly payments for the truck I don't have? the rental is not usable of my work and the defect in truck was not my fault. I don't see why I should pay for something I don't have. I have asked the dealership about this matter and they said to continue payments because I am using a free rental. Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you soon.

While driving my Tacoma at freeway speed, I accidentally hit the gearshift forward into neutral. This caused the engine to shut off, losing power assist to the steering, braking, etc. Every warning light on the dash began to flash including low oil pressure, high trans temp, etc. I also recreated this problem at a later time (after I figured out what had happened) and it was the same result--the trucks motor died when shifted into neutral causing a very dangerous situation for an inexperienced driver.

Tacoma (2017) Off-road

3.5L V6, limited edition, extended cab, 4X4, automatic, 1200 miles on odometer. Driving about 35mph on snow covered road in four wheel drive. Engine not completely warmed up and outside air temperature 9 degrees. Suddenly engine revved up without any pressure on accelerator and vehicle went into a sideways slide into the oncoming lane. Revving lasted about 2 seconds and then came back to normal RPM's. I got vehicle back in control but the unexpected acceleration was an eye opener and I was very fortunate there were no oncoming vehicles. Vehicle will also hesitate when cold while shifting from reverse to drive and vice versa. It tends to lunge in either direction depending on which gear it is in and having your foot firmly on the brake is the only way to stop it from taking off on you once it decides to go into gear.
