2017 Toyota Tacoma owner complaints

There is a leak the rear differential. There is a recall on this issue

When driving at highway speeds and you come to an abrupt slowdown to rolling the truck will shudder, clunk into gear and then when about to stop will lunge forward at times. This has happened 3 times where the ABS actuates due to the lunge from the transmission shift and almost caused me to rear end the vehicle infront. In the Toyota tacoma forums there are many whom experience the same issue but Toyota seems to not resolve it.

The vehicle surges when backing up in reverse and when taking foot off brake pedal in drive.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 Toyota tacoma. While stopped, with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle surged forward. The vehicle was previously taken to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the TCM and ECM needed to be updated. The ECM and TCM were updated. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per tsb number: 0077-16. Prior to the tsb repair, the contact had not experienced a failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 3,756.

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

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.

Water leak into the rear of the cab. Toyota knows is a known issue but they decline warranty on it. They only have a t-sb-0055-18 but if the customer doesnt research for it online they will not even tell the customer. The water leak cause mold in the car and everything is wet on it. Our car has now 38000 miles. This is an expensive car and the mold will cause people to get sick. Toyota wants a customer to pay more than $10,000 to fix an issue that is cause by them. Please help about this.

Not a safety issue. The clear coat seems to be fading on a lot of the 3rd gen tacomas from the factory. Fades much faster than it should.

Excessive peeling/flaking paint on all 4 doors, hood, gas cap, all over.

Brake pedal spongy and when pushed and held it continuously goes slowly to the floor. I believe the recall for the master cylinder should have been extended back further.

The 2018-2019 Toyota Tacomas have been recalled for having a bad Master Cylinder and leaking internally within the truck. The 2017 Tacomas have the same issue. My 2017 Tacoma has been leaking brake fluid on my floormat. I'm sure I am not the only one having an issue with this and because it involved the brakes it does pose a risk on the road If the brakes were to fail due to a Master Cylinder that again has been recalled with the 2018-19 Tacomas. Why not include the 2017 Tacomas as well?

12/9/17 there was a small amount of snow on my driveway. My driveway is slightly on an incline and then levels off at the top I put my vehicle into 4 wheel drive and proceeded up the driveway with no problem. I deactivated the 4 wheel drive and placed my vehicle in park w/o using the e brake. I never use the brake with this vehicle or my prior vehicle a tundra. Two and a half hours later my daughter informs me that she heard a loud bang and observed my vehicle had rolled down the drive way striking a tree. When I went to investigate I observed that my vehicle gear shift was in park. Also there were tire tread marks on the grass and not skid marks. Question is why being parked for over two hours this occurred.

I went to the gas station to fill up my tank and once I was done. I had trouble closing my fuel filler door. Fuel filler door is now broken and won’t close at all.
