Transmission failure cover up

[Btrocc]

When I heard of transmission issue I asked them to scan my truck. They did not . Now I have issues on my way to work and my truck won’t move . I go to take to dealership no issues driving. If a scan does not work then why would it work now and what kind of policy is this ? Wait until you get into crash policy? And the lack of steel in my hood is a complete joke for 54000 I think i deserve a sturdy hood. Made in Mexico crap. I thought it would be but as well as my 2 nd and 3 rd gens . I made a mistake selling my 3rd gen for this

Respectfully, I understand how you could be frustrated with this issue, but it seems like there could be more to this story.

If you think the dealer isn’t giving you the right service, go somewhere independent and then bring it to the dealer with proof there’s something wrong, that’s my recommendation.

Nice edit… You want a steel hood? This isn’t 1974. The hood is fine and designed to be lightweight. With regards to Mexico, look up the Toyota Production System. This system is in place in every factory irregardless of where it’s located. I’m wondering why you’re so against Mexico built vehicles? Hmm. Sell the truck and move on - ranting and yelling at clouds on this forum isn’t solving anything.

You should try TacomaWorld. I think you would fit in much better over there.

For people who contribute substance and dialogue, not yell into the void.

Seriously, buddy, We all understand, but your posts are making you look bad. Stuff happens, we’re all sympathetic, but ranting isn’t contributing to our forum. Relax and let us know how it works out, calmly.

Don’t appreciate being lumped into a group you refer to as “People who want to add unnecessary parts to their truck.” It’s a site for the exchange of ideas by people who enjoy their trucks. I come from a generation where we could swap an engine or jack up a rear end in the back yard. Well you really can’t do that anymore so adding some fun mods and some mods that do improve the truck is what this is all about. Yes, the trucks are not perfect but I would put mine up against any other brand dollar for dollar and issue for issue. If you have an issue there are lots of people on this site who could probably speak from experience and offer some help, but just bashing ain’t cool.

Do you have a check engine light?

Maybe 'his' transition didn't go as planned.

It is hard to understand what could be a coverup. If your transmission is in the range with the TSB the VIN lookup is a DIY or your dealer can do that. Also, any authorized dealer can and most likely will be glad to do your warranty work.

I'm not sure what to say about the rest but hope you can be happy. In our own shopping and due diligence phase nothing was really hidden for learning about the Tacoma and its competitors. It was fairly easy to do hands on and driving with all the mid-size models out there.

Toyota will still ultimately send you to an authorized dealer, but in our owning 5 now, they were helpful when our 1999 had a TSB the dealer did not follow, and for our 2015 they helped accelerate getting a recall done before we did a cross country trip.

For the dealer or Toyota - any service and support matter - be careful to not let out your frustrations the wrong way. It might seem counterintuitive, but for service, travel problems, and warranty matters and a lot more etc, I always take a deep breath and approach it with a "How can I help you solve this?" attitude. It for sure gets others more willing to help, and can calm me down.

Good luck.
