Toyota Tacoma

"Transmition jerks from N to D and R. Also always hunting for the right gear."

"Between 40 and 45 mph and about 1100rpm, the transmission hesitates or jerks like it doesn't know whether to shift or accelerate. Aut transmission."

"After reading in internet forums, I found I am not alone with my disgust with the 2016-17 Tacoma's automatic transmission. When I mentioned it to Toyota, they said it reacted the same as others. Found a bandaid for this on the aftermarket, but still not completely satisfied."

"Issue SHOULD be fixed once transmission computer is recalibrated."

"Transmission slips between 3rd and4th gear when cold."

"Will not hold its selected gear, slips, Toyota's top mechanic came SLC, the dealer asked if I wanted him to take a look, his conclusion was It's performing as designed ???? I drive a steep mountain road and rely on compression braking, this design cannot be trusted, unsafe!"

"When trying to maintain momentum up an incline by accelerating the automatic transmission responds by up-shifting (and subsequent loss of torque) slowing the truck’s acceleration. At highway speed a passing attempt is met by the transmission incapable of downshifting to the passing gear, instead you are left with your foot on the gas and the truck not accelerating. The programming of the engine and transmission is frustrating joke. Although dealership technicians admit there is a problem with engine transmission programming, Toyota Corporate office is adamant this is normal and no problem exists. If you do not program an error code into the system that does not mean a problem does not exist. Toyota's denial of the problem is a Big part of the Problem."

"Driving between 40 and 60 MPH transmission will slip. Dealer installed update of software that helped some, talked to dealer said that until they come up with a new software nothing they could do. After some research this is a common problem, only thing it to replace the transmission dealer said it as not bad enough for replacement."

"Delayed shift from reverse to drive and park to reverse when cold. Transmission surge when travelling at a speed of 80. Transmission hunting for gears sometimes. Hard downshift from 3rd to 1st occasionally."

"Transmission computer needs to be recalibrated, which SHOULD take care of the issue."

"Had to upgrade the firmware - attempting to solve sluggish power response"

"This transmission constantly seeks a correct gear. It cannot hold a gear on even the slightest incline. It seems to have only three gears, first, second, and overdrive. I HATE it"

"The transmission with five thousand miles on it needed to have the computer reflashed. The reflash fix some problems but created others. The truck now with 11,000 miles on it is going in the shop to have the transition reflashed"

"Nothing under the hood in sync! Cruise control nightmare!"

"The transmission occasionally fails to upshift while going at normal speed, normal driving conditions (RPM stays high) until I move the shifter to manual and upshift. This does not happen frequently but often enough to make it annoying."

"Transmission shifts into higher gears too soon causing the truck to bog down. Some days the truck runs and shifts in an acceptable manner and some days it run and shift terrible. Truck hesitates to shift down when needed."

"The transmission is always searching for a higher gear, maddening to drive, very distracting, transmissions should be seamless, unnoticeable, put it in drive and go. The computer needs to be remapped!"

"Truck was brought in for routine scheduled maintenance. Was informed there was a leak from the rear differential that failed a recall inspection. I had to rent at their expense a car for just under 60 days while the part arrived and was replaced."

"the rear passengers side behind rear seats leaks air and road noise, very common on all Toyota Tacoma"

"This was the same problem described before."

"Leaking third brake light"

"Bangs and other weird noises from drive train"

"There is an annoying squeak coming from the passenger side dashboard in colder weather which goes away as the vehicle warms up."

"1 month and 1500 kms into owing our new truck, it developed a squeak in the rear leaf springs"

"I have a small periodic rattle in the dash on the passengers side. Haven't been able to find out where it is coming from."

"toyota tacoma 2 door long bed sounds like the back window is down all the time."

"Drivers side window leaking air into cabin"

"When I drive above 35 mph there is a lot of air noise around the back doors"

"The actual problem is not when it is Rhode Island's from the tires vibrating through the very thin back noise dampening insulation behind the rear seat is much less when I store something back there than it is when it is empty with the seat up to see down It's bad"

"Wind noise and annoying whistle at 40mph Very loud road noise at highway speeds"

"drivers side window or door has wind noise. Back seat has a lot of road/wind noise from the rear corners of the cab"

"I bought the Limited version as the dealer told me the vehicle had better sound proofing than lower priced models. This is not the case."

"driving over 55, sounds you have wind noise coming through the front windows"

"Speeds over 45 mph creates high audible wind noise to the point where I have to increase the radio volume to hear."

"The road noise from this car is deafening at highway speed -- the radio, including the satellite stuff that comes pre-installed, CD-DVD player, is worthless: you cannot hear it. I can make out phone communications and the Bluetooth hookup works well, but all other audio is totally lost due to road noise."

"Not Updated with current maps, map updates are super expensive, they should be free"

"The vehicle is sold new without the Nav system having the latest update. They want you to pay several hundred dollars to get latest update."

"Pairing my crappy alcatel flip phone often causes the vehicle display to continuously reboot."

"constant disconnecting, very difficult to reconnect. almost unusable."

"It drops my android phone often and will pick up my wife's iphone over my phone constantly"

"Frequently there is a problem connecting to Entune services like Pandora. It requires interface with Entune personnel, dealership personnel, and personal attermpts to fix the problem."

"Had to replace telecommunication module"

"Engine feedback noise on the AM stations. Poor reception. The radio on my 2008 Tacoma had better reception"

"Had one software update because of engine flare when shifting into 4th gear. Shifting into 4th was better for a time but has now reverted to engine flare again. There are other updates available to address other problems with performance but you cant just request to have the update installed."

"Does not work most of the time. Pretty much useless for me."
