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 rear differential is misaligned and the current solution doesn't resolve the noise. I'm afraid excessive wear is happening and issue will arise much sooner
On long trips where the vehicle is driven for several miles in one gear it is extremely difficult to pull it out of 4th, 5th or 6th gear in order to change gears. This resulted in dangerous speed control issues (both too fast and too slow for traffic) while driving on mountainous highways. The problem and its repair are exactly described on Toyota service bulletin tsb-0088-16. In my opinion the bulletin should be escalated to a recall because of the safety concerns. The problem is repeatable but difficult to demonstrate to a technician because it requires a long drive time and under certain terrain and/or driving conditions.
Vehicle lunges like a bucking bronc at wot from stop or rolling start. If it was a carbureted vehicle (pre-computer days) I would check timing, carburetor jets, fuel filter, etc. Seems to be a little better in sport mode or ect in drive.
My car 2016 Toyota Tacoma has rebuilt title and voids the power train warranty. Toyota Corp has tsb 0077-16 shift feeling enhancements for the transmission due to: Delayed engagement park to drive or reverse to drive. Harsh 1st - 2nd upshift. Delayed upshift when using cruise control. I experience harsh up shift and downshift in the transmission while driving. It needs simple software update, but the Toyota cop declined this update for my vehicle (case# 1808271028 on 08/28/2018) if the problem persists it may make transmission uncontrollable ore delayed and vehicle may get into the accident. We have one schooled boy and infant girl. I want to inform about the issue so that all vehicles with the same problem and branded titles are to be corrected by Toyota Corp at no expense to the owners. I will attach the tsb Toyota document that explains what is the problem
Transfer case gets stuck in 4 lo. Seems that Toyota is producing defective accuators that, once put in 4lo wont shift back to normal driving state. In this gear, truck runs 35 mph at 4000 RPM making it unsafe for highway driving and leaving consumers stranded. Repair cost over $2300.

Toyota recall #17V-356. The crankshaft position sensor needs to be replaced and Toyota has done nothing to fix the problem. I have taken the vehicle to crown Toyota in Decatur Illinois several times and they have not fixed the problem. The crankshaft is making noises.
All of the problems listed below have been reported to my local Toyota dealership, gullo Toyota, conroe, Texas. 1) engine misfires (5 attempts at repair. Still misfires.). 2) vehicle stalls due to transmission searching for the correct gear (developed after the last attempt to repair misfire in September 2016). 2) engine has developed a rattle after 20,000 + miles and sometimes sounds like a rod is knocking. Sounds like engine is not being lubricated properly. This may lead to early failure of the smog control system and excessive oil consumption (Toyota claims this is normal for this truck). 3) bump sound comes from beneath truck when stopping and may be loose or broken motor or transmission mount (Toyota stated that the truck is operating as designed). 4) grinding sound comes from rear end when rear wheels slip and automatic limited slip is selected (Toyota has stated that the truck is operating as designed). 5) engine revs unexpectedly when backing out of or driving into garage (Toyota has stated that the truck is operating as designed). 6) loud bang comes from beneath truck when coming to a quick stop. Sounds like the guts of the transmission shift forward (dealership has not arranged to provide a loaner truck so that this problem and all the persistent problems listed above can be repaired. Toyota insist that I bring my truck to the dealership and drive my truck around and demonstrate the existence of these problems to the Toyota's field service tech. Dealership is aware that this truck has been recalled for rear differential problems and engine misfire and stalling. I need the dealership to accept responsibility for this defective truck and take it into their service department and keep it until it is repaired. I need a loaner truck while the repairs are made. I have put much needed work on-hold for a year due to this truck.).

2016 Toyota Tacoma. Consumer writes in regards to transmission issues. The consumer stated the vehicle shifting as erratic and unreliable. The rear differential leaked, when the vehicle stopped it made a loud clunk, and there was a loud whining noise. The consumer requested to be able to sale back the vehicle, be reimbursed for the rental and for hiring an outside mechanic.
Erratic transmission shifting. Lurches in low gears, delay when shifting from reverse to drive, stays in 4th gear after cresting a hill, unable to stay in 6th gear while cruising at highway speeds on level ground without load in vehicle.
I was notified of safety recall 17V-285 rear differential leak in July 2017. I took my vehicle in and they said part is on order. Now, five months later, it is sitll on order. This seems to be an unreasonable period of time for a safety issue.
I have received two recall notices on my 2016 Toyota Tacoma limited pickup truck. The second notice was in July, 2017. I have not yet been able to have the recalls done because the parts are not available from Toyota yet. The recalls could effect the drivability of the truck which makes me hesitant to use if for long distance travel.

Recall for rear differential leak. Upon inspection tech found rear diff leaking parts on order. Performance Toyota grounded my vehicle and parts were ordered on 8/22/17. Took my vehicle back from dealership and to this day, still no word on the parts. Something sticks....recall on my truck and then have no parts to fix it and then tell me that you are not responsible for damage in result of vehicle being driven.
