I purchased this on 6/28/2016, exactly 11 months later, on 5/28/2017, the check engine light comes on when I went out for lunch, the check engine light stayed on. Another light "TRAC OFF" came on and off.
I called the dealer where I purchased the vehicle from and they asked me to take the truck in, which I did.
After about one hour or so, they told me the engine "knocking" very severely and they had to keep the truck for further diagnosis. I ended up taking a rental vehicle, which was paid for by Toyota. Six days have passed and I still do not know what needs to be done to repair it; I am still driving the rental.
I purchase my TRD in July. It has 5500miles. I was heading home after hunting and while doing 45mph to stopped moving forward. The check engine light , transmission light, oil pressure and traction control light came on. It looked like a Christmas tree. What a nice present to have.
I had to have it flat bedded 40miles back to the dealer. It looks like no hunting trips for me using this dependable truck........
The dealer told me fuel injection codes. They have no clue on how to fix the problem claims it's too new. They had to call a Toyota specialist to advise. It's still there after 7 days. Should have bought a Ford?
I got my TRD Sport 4x4 in Oct 2015, and under 2000 miles in Nov 2015 the truck completely stopped. In the dash I got the engine light on and oil pressure low. Took it to the dealer, after some diagnose (fuel injection) and been completely apart they put it back together and worked fine again. Now Feb 2016, it happened again, same as before, I got the engine light on and oil pressure low, plus A/F Fluid warning. Was not able to drive. Took it to the dealer last week, and still awaiting from Toyota, to sent a specialist to the dealer.
engine light on and tracs light on
very disappointing for only having 2000 km on truck
the cruise control won't work now either
had a 2005 tacoma 4x4 trd for 11 years and never had a engine warning light come on
hope this is not the start of problem truck
Update from Jan 21, 2016: for some reason after owning three tacomas the gas cap was almost falling off this is what the mechanic said
never had this problem before my only thought is that some one tried to steal gas from my vehicle

This is my first new Toyota. Very disappointed.
