Replying to: casteeb (Apr 05, 2009 4:38 am) Here's an update on my 2009 Tacoma 4x4 SR5 auto shifting problem. Toyota called me and listened to the problem again, they said really all they can do is open a ticket with Toyota National .(Wahoo! a new ticket ) and basically said they can't do anything about it until enough people complain.... Meanwhile you can manually shift the automatic (which is stupid, but makes you feel like you are taking charge of the problem) or you can continue to complain and start searching for what you're going to trade the stupid Tacoma on (probably a Nissan...) Which is...wel...to bad, because aside from the transmission shift pattern problems and (lack of) paint / finish , the truck is decent.

Replying to: casteeb (Apr 14, 2009 1:17 pm) So again I ask, does ANYONE know where we can send a formal complaint? A contact #, an email with Toyota National? This won't be resolved until enough complaints are received. My truck is slipping and/or getting stuck in gear 2-3 times a day now when slowing down and turning onto another street! I am so sorry I ever bought this Tacoma!

Replying to: tacomashane (Apr 14, 2009 4:32 pm) I have the same problem with my 09 tacoma dbl cab SR5 PU. My nephew also has the same problem, his is new as well. Went to the dealer and had it test driven by the shop manager, he verified the slipping and told me it was normal and there was nothing he could do. He would file a complaint for me. They also gave me an 800 number to file my own complaint. I called yesterday and they took all kinds of information and gave me a case number. I told them I wanted it fixed or they should buy the truck back. Here is the number 1-800-331-4331. If I don't get any action I will be contacting the States district attorneys office and file a complaint, this trucks operation is unsafe.

Replying to: fishalot (Apr 22, 2009 11:56 am) Thanks for the number...just gave them a call myself and everyone else should. If we all complain in droves, this issue will be taken alot more seriously and resolved much quicker. Does anyone here have an idea why it's the 2009 models?...seems like everyone having a problem owns an '09 model...what the hell did they do different in the '09s?

Replying to: jodyg69 (Apr 23, 2009 5:47 am) Just made my formal complaint through the 800 #. The Toyota representative told me this was the first he had heard about any problems with the Tacoma transmission.............. Replies to this message: jodyg69 (Apr 23, 2009 4:15 pm)

#116 of 345 Use 4th gear in the auto trans. for in town driving by 09taco Apr 25, 2009 (6:34 pm)
Thanks also for that toyota number, I'll be calling also, with some questions. I do have a 09 with only 900 miles or so, and having the same issues as everyone else. I did notice that when I drive in town and doing alot of stop and go, I put the auto.trans in 4th gear and it seems to work better, not shifting as much, When I'm on the highway I put the trans in D which is overdrive. Maybe its just me, but I'm going to give this a try and see how this works out. If anyone else tries this and it works better Please let me know.....maybe we can compare on how this works
#117 of 345 Thanks for - by dbys Apr 26, 2009 (1:53 pm)

The transmission problems are probably linked to HAC and DAC features. I was planning on purchasing a 09 tacoma but will go with a 08. Replies to this message: hackattack5 (May 28, 2009 2:55 am) jodyg69 (May 28, 2009 5:33 am) hackattack5 (May 28, 2009 5:38 pm)
