Truck was okay for first 900 miles.
Around 900 miles truck started to shift rough, and a grinding/whistling noise was noticed. The noise happens around shifts and can be heard over the radio. It is a high pitched noise that varies in volume and frequency with speed. The truck also would lurch forward at stop signs and red lights. The lurching is so bad it moves around the occupants of the truck. The truck also has extremely rough engagement of the gas when going from coasting to foot-on-gas.
All of these issues point to the power train, and most likely the transmission. I have taken it to numerous Toyota dealers, the first one only three weeks after buying the truck. I have been told the truck is fine and drives as expected. No technician has been able to replicate the grinding noise. I created a case with Toyota and they had one of their techs look at the truck. Of course, they also said the truck is fine.
Toyota is now essentially telling me to F**k off. So, I'm stuck with a $45k truck that I cannot drive for safety and comfort reasons. I will never be buying another Toyota product as this is the worst customer service I've ever experienced.
I purposely got a truck that was made in the US, since they cheaped out and moved most production to Mexico. Apparently their US manufacturing is not good anymore either. I will continue to tell everyone of my issue and warn them of buying a new Toyota. Toyota will not help you, and your warranty is meaningless unless the truck explodes.
You're better off leasing a vehicle that actually has modern features, because Toyota quality is a thing of the past. Now they're essentially just outdated, overpriced pieces of trash.
