This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, he noticed an abnormal clapping sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician stated that the differential unit would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 57,859.
I own a 2006 Toyota Tacoma which I purchased new, and now have 11,347 miles on it. It's an automatic 4 speed ect-I transmission. From date of purchase to present at speeds between 50 and 60 mph there is a loud gera whine. Below 50 and above 60 it goes away. I think it may be caused by the ring & pinion gears in the differential, although I am not certain.
