Earlier this week I e-mailed customer service at Toyota. I received an automated e-mail saying that I would be contacted as soon as possible concerning my complaint with the transmission on my 2009 Tacoma. The e-mail address is . I suggest we all write. It will be interesting to find out if Toyota really does "care".

Ive just read a number of the comments posted and had the same speech given to me this morning about the smart computer. Im call BS first of all you have to drive the car mellow for the first 1K miles then you drive like you drive so how does it know when to switch . Then say two different people are sharing the car like its gonna know whos in the seat what does it do weigh you and give you a retinal scan. Im expecting them to tell me there is nothing wrong when i pick it up but somehow we all need to keep this up and ride them until its fixed or get new trucks. How can a company do this. I have a feeling things are going to get ugly on my end because i have the time to hassle them. This is meant to be the best truck on the road not the best suck on the road.

A lot of bad PR all at once CAN'T be good for a company.

Read my post about trading in a 3 month old vehicle and taking a 6-7k loss because I felt the safety of my family justified it. I told them the main reason I was confirming it with them was so I could be a part of the eventual class action when it happens and that I was just lucky enough to get rid of it before I had a accident after two close calls coming into a intersection and then having the trans delay. It will make a difference, make the call!!

Sadly someone is most likely going to be in a accident before they pull their heads out, I just hope it isn't a bad one.

| My husband and I bought a 2009 Tacoma in May of this year. I was told to run it easy for about 1000 miles until the truck got used to my driving. I am having the same problems everyone else is having. When I go into turns or decelerating it downshifts and then when I press the accelerator the transmission lags the RPM increases and then it lurches forward. The first time I took it to the dealer I was told that there was nothing wrong with my truck. They told me it was new technology and I would get used to it. I am taking it back this Thursday. I have owned many toyota trucks/vehicles, but if they refuse to acknowledge this design flaw it will be my last. | |
