I have a 96 4cyl.5spd,re. cab.tacoma with very low mileage and since it was new there has been a flunk in the rear of the truck almost every time you shift from 4th to 5th at highway speeds. When it was under warranty the co. field advisor drove it. he was cute since he already knew the problem he just rode the clutch a little when shifting to 5th and there obviously no flunk but the problem was not solved. This is Toyota's method of solving many problems vehicles. Has anyone had this problem and found a solution? I have been told by a knowledgeable mechanic that he thinks I need grease on the drive shaft where it goes into the tail of the transmission,but since it did it since new and mileage is low the original grease put on at the factory must still be good and working! Any of you Taco owners or mechanics have a answer?

TOTOTA PROBLEMS THAT CAN'T BE SOLVED AT THE DEALERS....   In reading the last couple of posts regarding motivating the dealers to fix a problem, try hoping over to the Chevy Silverado Problems message post. In many of the posts they detail how to work with directly with the BBB (Better Business Bur.) and bring abritration if needed.   Many people who think the BBB is a joke should read the Chevy posts. They've got it down to a "T" and most cases seem to get resolved quickly.   One tip I read was don't bother calling the BBB (I know from personal exp. that calling will get you nowhere). Go to their website, fill out the entry form and FAX it to them! Supposedly the response time is good (within 1 - 2 days). Within a month you should have a reasonable resolution to your problem.   John
#55 of 2067 Cruise Control by ebbgreatdane Apr 19, 2001 (1:12 pm)
Posting from the Cruise Control thread started a couple of days ago in the Pickup List.   John   #1 of 5 Toyota Tacoma crusie control by tc93 Apr 18, 2001 (11:30 am) I have a '99 Tacoma (2.4 ltr 4 cyl.) with cruise. The cruise often takes as long as 4 or 5 seconds to engage, which, by this time, the truck has slowed by nearly 10 mph. If that isn't annoying enough, the cruise surges by as much as 3 or 4 mph, which is quite noticeable, and very, very annoying! Naturally, the local Toy dealership says nothing is wrong with it (I wonder if they'd say the same thing once it goes out of warranty?). I asked them why then does the cruise in the one '00 Tacoma I test drove not do this? Answer - a bunch of double speak. What makes this situation all the more aggravating is the fact the cruise doesn't act up like this all the time, but darn near all the time. Has anyone got any information or advice to offer?
#56 of 2067 Oh what a feelin': A loud Klunk! by evanspa5 Apr 25, 2001 (1:29 pm)
I recently bought a 99 pre-runner. I have to say, The loud clunk when releasing the brake is annoying! The dealer said it was "normal". Normal for what? a $5000 yugo, or a 20K truck! I have had the truck for 3 weeks, if I can't find a fix, I may just sell it. Does any one have a sure answer for this problem? Is it axle wrap, a down shifting trannie or brakes? Please help. The Toyota dealer was useless(no surprise).

#58 of 2067 Cruise Control by toddz May 02, 2001 (7:54 am)
My 2001 PreRunner's cruise control did the same exact thing as tc93's. I took it to the dealer and appearently something had come loose and they fixed it. I also drove others on the lot and told them that my truck wasn't working like those had. I had to press the break really hard to stop the cruise control and even then it would try to accelerate. Even with it fixed, the delay is normal, so i have come to accept the fact that cc on my tacoma just isn't a finely tuned piece of equipment.
#59 of 2067 CC on the fritz by ebbgreatdane May 02, 2001 (11:54 am)
I'm curious. Did the dealer specify in their work notes what came loose or what parts they replaced?   John
#60 of 2067 Blinking dash lite problem by dreid2 May 07, 2001 (9:33 am)
I have a 99 Tacoma Ext Cab, manual shift, 4wd, v6   Love the truck   my problem is the blinking dash lights come on and stay on for the passenger seat. When the seat is empty, I plug in the seat belt and the warning light still blinks. No matter what, this light blinks. There has to be a loose wire somewhere, I just cannot find it.   sometimes the parking brake lite blinks even when the parking brake is released.   these little blinking lights are a pain.   I have looked for loose wires but so far have missed them.   anyone know any thing about how these things are wired up and can give me some hints to check before I waste a day and couple hundred bucks at the local dealer?   I appreciate any feedback   Dave Reid
