ENGINE
SECONDARY AIR PUMP AND SWITCHING VALVES FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ONLY 62,000 MILES. TRUCK FORCED INTO LIMP MODE AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO TRAVEL OVER 20MPH. THE TRUCK HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRAC CONTROL LIGHT APPEAR. TOYOTA ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE ME OVER $2100 TO FIX. AFTER READING ABOUT THE ERROR CODES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL 2012 TACOMA OWNERS AND TOYOTA WARRANTY REFUSES TO COVER ANY OF THE COST OR RECALL THE PART (THE SAME ISSUE ON TOYOTA TUNDRAS WAS RECALLED).

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PROBLEMS DESCRIBED BELOW HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO MY DEALER GULLO TOYOTA IN CONROE, TX. THE DEALER IS AWARE THAT THIS MODEL TRUCK HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AND MISFIRING AND STALLING. WHILE DRIVING EAST ON FM1097 BETWEEN LAKE CONROE AND WILLIS, TX ON 2/06/18, I WAS REQUIRED TO MAKE A QUICK STOP. A LOUD BUMP SOUND CAME FROM BENEATH THE TRUCK. PRIOR TO THIS STOP, THE ENGINE HAD BEEN MISFIRING FROM-TIME-TO-TIME. AFTER THE QUICK STOP AND THE BUMP SOUND CAME FROM BENEATH THE TRUCK, THE ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING AT A CONSTANT AND VIOLENT RATE FOR A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 1 MILE. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN MAKING AN UNUSUAL BUMP SOUND WHICH OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER COMING TO A STOP SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2016. THE TRUCK HAS ALSO BEEN MISFIRING FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED IT. I AM AFRAID THAT THE BUMP MAY BE DUE TO LOOSE OR BROKEN MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION MOUNTS, LOOSE SUSPENSION BOLTS OR THE GAS TANK MAY BE SHIFTING. THE MISFIRE MAY INDICATE THAT A FUEL LINE IS BEING RESTRICTED WHEN THE GAS TANK SHIFTS POSITION. A PINCHED OR DEFORMED GAS LINE MAY BE STARVING THE FUEL PUMP AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE. SINCE THE BUMP SOUND IS DELAYED AND OCCURS AFTER COMING TO A STOP, IT SUGGEST TO ME THAT THE GAS TANK MAY BE THE CAUSE SINCE THE GASOLINE IN THE TANK IS IN MOTION AFTER THE TRUCK COMES TO A STOP. I NEED TOYOTA TO TAKE THIS DEFECTIVE TRUCK IN AND REPAIR IT FOR THIS AND ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TO TOYOTA. TOYOTA NEEDS TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER TRUCK WHILE MY TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED. I HAVE LEFT MY TRUCK WITH TOYOTA 5 TIMES FOR THE MISFIRE AND TOYOTA HAS NOT EVERY PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE. I NEED A LOANER TRUCK WHILE MY TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL LEAKING FROM THE CONNECTIONS FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM. FUEL WAS LEAKING DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE AND ONTO THE TRANSMISSION BELLHOUSING NEAR THE EXHAUST. I COULD SMELL FAINT ODOR OF GAS IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. USED UV DYE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK. UNKNOWN HOW LONG THIS WAS OCCURRING FOR, I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS IN THE ENGINE BAY FOR WEEKS, TOYOTA DEALER TOLD ME THE SMELL WAS 'NORMAL' DURING MY LAST SERVICE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.

SUN VISORS FAIL TO STAY IN THE UP POSITION. WITH NORMAL USE, THE SUN VISORS BEGIN TO STAY ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN AND FALL FURTHER WITH TIME. EVENTUALLY, THEY NO LONGER GO UP AT ALL AND MAY POSE A RISK TO THE DRIVER'S VISION.

ENGINE
DRIVING VEHICLE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ENGINE LOOSES POWER. TRUCK DID NOT DIE AND WOULD SLOWLY ACCELERATE. I HAD TRAFFIC BEHIND ME HONKING AND CUTTING ME OFF UNTIL I COULD GET TO A PULL OFF SPOT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND DISCOVERED THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP AND VALVES WERE THE CAUSE CAUSING THE LOTS OF ACCELERATION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND KNOWN ISSUE FOR TOYOTA OWNERS AFTER RESEARCHING. I DO HAVE REPAIR RECEIPT WHICH IS VERY COSTLY

TRANSMISSION DOES THIS ON A RANDOM BASIS IT IS TOO QUICK TO UPSHIFT CAUSING THE ENGINE TO BOG DOWN. -TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE TUCK TO LURCH FORWARD AT LOW SPEEDS. -SHIFTING FROM R TO D ON A HILL CAN SOMETIMES CAUSE THE TRUCK TO ROLL BACK AS IF THE TRUCK WAS IN NEUTRAL -IN GENERAL, THE TRANSMISSION IS INCONSISTENT IN OPERATION. IN THE SAME SITUATION, IT MAY REACT DIFFERENTLY -DURING HARD ACCELERATION AFTER YOU LET UP ON THE GAS, THE ENGINE RPM'S WILL STAY HIGH AND SLOWLY COME BACK DOWN. IF YOU PRESS THE GAS AGAIN DURING THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION WILL EITHER CAUSE THE ENGINE TO REV BUT THE TRUCK WON'T ACCELERATE OR WILL SLAM INTO A GEAR CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LURCH. IT ALSO DOES THIS RANDOMLY THE TRANSMISSION BEING SLOW TO DOWNSHIFT TO A LOWER GEAR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR IT WOULD UPSHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING/MERGING RESULTING IN AN UNEXPECTED CHANGE IN ACCELERATION.THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO "NOTICEABLY" DOWN SHIFT WHILE THE FOOT IS OFF THE ACCELERATOR RESULTING IN AN UNEXPECTED CHANGE IN DECELERATION. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AND NOW THE SHIFTING IS STARTING TO JOLT THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING AT CONSTANT SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY SURGE HIGH IN RPMS THEN COME RIGHT BACK DOWN. THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTING UNSAFE CONDITIONS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. 1ST TIME THEY TOPPED OFF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AS IT WAS LOW FROM THE FACTORY. 2ND TIME THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND OTHERS WERE HAVING IT AS WELL AND THE TRANSMISSION ECU WAS RE-FLASHED. THIS STILL DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK A 3RD TIME AND THEY DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 2500 MILES ON IT. NOT SURE WHY YOU WOULD DESIGN A VEHICLE TO DO THIS. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND TOYOTA OF ORANGE SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS WORKING THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO...

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ALL OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED BELOW HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, GULLO TOYOTA, CONROE, TEXAS. 1) ENGINE MISFIRES (5 ATTEMPTS AT REPAIR. STILL MISFIRES.). 2) VEHICLE STALLS DUE TO TRANSMISSION SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR (DEVELOPED AFTER THE LAST ATTEMPT TO REPAIR MISFIRE IN SEPTEMBER 2016). 2) ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED A RATTLE AFTER 20,000 + MILES AND SOMETIMES SOUNDS LIKE A ROD IS KNOCKING. SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE IS NOT BEING LUBRICATED PROPERLY. THIS MAY LEAD TO EARLY FAILURE OF THE SMOG CONTROL SYSTEM AND EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION (TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS TRUCK). 3) BUMP SOUND COMES FROM BENEATH TRUCK WHEN STOPPING AND MAY BE LOOSE OR BROKEN MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION MOUNT (TOYOTA STATED THAT THE TRUCK IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED). 4) GRINDING SOUND COMES FROM REAR END WHEN REAR WHEELS SLIP AND AUTOMATIC LIMITED SLIP IS SELECTED (TOYOTA HAS STATED THAT THE TRUCK IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED). 5) ENGINE REVS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF OR DRIVING INTO GARAGE (TOYOTA HAS STATED THAT THE TRUCK IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED). 6) LOUD BANG COMES FROM BENEATH TRUCK WHEN COMING TO A QUICK STOP. SOUNDS LIKE THE GUTS OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT FORWARD (DEALERSHIP HAS NOT ARRANGED TO PROVIDE A LOANER TRUCK SO THAT THIS PROBLEM AND ALL THE PERSISTENT PROBLEMS LISTED ABOVE CAN BE REPAIRED. TOYOTA INSIST THAT I BRING MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DRIVE MY TRUCK AROUND AND DEMONSTRATE THE EXISTENCE OF THESE PROBLEMS TO THE TOYOTA'S FIELD SERVICE TECH. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE THAT THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS AND ENGINE MISFIRE AND STALLING. I NEED THE DEALERSHIP TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE TRUCK AND TAKE IT INTO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND KEEP IT UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. I NEED A LOANER TRUCK WHILE THE REPAIRS ARE MADE. I HAVE PUT MUCH NEEDED WORK ON-HOLD FOR A YEAR DUE TO THIS TRUCK.).

AT 60,000 MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS COME ON WHEN STARTING UP TRUCK IN MORNING. THIS PUT THE TRUCK INTO LIMP MODE. MY MECHANIC CLEARED THE CODES BUT DID NOT WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN REPAIRING AS HE COULDN'T GUARANTEE IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD AND SAID TOYOTA WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. DEALER ADVISED APPROXIMATELY $2,000 TO REPAIR. AFTER SEEING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM 2012 TACOMA OWNERS, I CAN NOT BELIEVE TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER A RECALL SINCE THEY COVERED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TUNDRA AND SEQUOIA.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW SPEED TO A HIGHER SPEED ENTERING A HIGH SPEED ROAD. THE TRUCK FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MILES AN HOUR. I HAD TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA SINCE ITS UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD I HAVE ONE OF SEVERAL TRUCKS OUT THERE THAT HAVE THIS COMPUTER ISSUE THE CAUSES THIS. I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS BUT THEY COULD GET IT OPERATING CORRECTLY BUT ITS STILL NOT FIXED AND MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. I MENTIONED I ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT UNTIL IT IS FIXED. TOYOTA SAID THEY HAVE TO RELEASE THE CAR TO ME SINCE ITS OPERATING CORRECTLY NOW EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM ISN'T FIXED. I LEARNED FROM THEM THEY HAVE MORE TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION BUT DON'T HAVE ONE YET. THEY OFFER NO OTHER SOLUTION OR RESOLUTION AT THIS TIME. I DON'T FEEL THIS IS RIGHT SINCE TO ME ITS MORE OF A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL THEY SHOULD KEEP THE TRUCK UNTIL ITS FIXED AND LOAN ME A REPLACEMENT, OR THEY SHOULD REPLACE MY TRUCK WITH ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THIS SOFTWARE PROBLEM. I AM SHOCKED THEY WILL RELEASE A VEHICLE BACK WHILE STATING THEY KNOW THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM MAY OCCUR AGAIN. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER OF 1711171145 WITH TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND I WAS WORKING WITH PAM. I WAS ALSO WORKING THE MATT AT DESERT TOYOTA WHO RECEIVED ALL OF THIS INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA.
