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.

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.
