The transmission does not engage on take off initially, it also jumps as you are slowing down, coming to a stop at a stop light. It has been in 4 times for this same issue. Toyota knows there is a problem, and they acknowledge it, but does not have a fix for it. What happens when my warranty is expired. It is definitely getting worse.

12/9/17 there was a small amount of snow on my driveway. My driveway is slightly on an incline and then levels off at the top I put my vehicle into 4 wheel drive and proceeded up the driveway with no problem. I deactivated the 4 wheel drive and placed my vehicle in park w/O using the E brake. I never use the brake with this vehicle or my prior vehicle a Tundra. Two and a half hours later my daughter informs me that she heard a loud bang and observed my vehicle had rolled down the drive way striking a tree. When I went to investigate I observed that my vehicle gear shift was in park. Also there were tire tread marks on the grass and not skid marks. Question is why being parked for over two hours this occurred.

My 2017 truck was recalled and I am currently driving a rental. They my truck might take up to 8 weeks to fix, its been close to 4 weeks so far. I use my truck for work and am currently losing wages because I don't have the truck. Why do I need to make monthly payments for the truck I don't have? the rental is not usable of my work and the defect in truck was not my fault. I don't see why I should pay for something I don't have. I have asked the dealership about this matter and they said to continue payments because I am using a free rental. Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Brought car in for a 15K mile check up and recall check on 08/04/2017. The service manager told me that there was in fact a leak and they would need to keep the car for a few days to repair. The parts were ordered and will be there in a couple days. 1 week later I was able to get a loaner car. Now it has been over 30 days and they have not fixed the truck.

Windshield is prone to cracking. Within the last 2 months I have had to replace windshield twice due to small object hitting windshield while driving. I've had the vehicle for less than 8 months and has 24K miles on it. Both incidents happened while driving on I69 highway.

While driving my Tacoma at freeway speed, I accidentally hit the gearshift forward into neutral. This caused the engine to shut off, losing power assist to the steering, braking, etc. Every warning light on the dash began to flash including low oil pressure, high trans temp, etc. I also recreated this problem at a later time (after I figured out what had happened) and it was the same result--the trucks motor died when shifted into neutral causing a very dangerous situation for an inexperienced driver.
