Takata recall-I was in a wreck 12-24-2017 and I was hit from behind. The bed of my truck was hit so hard by a distracted driver while I was at a stop light, that it twisted up and hit the cab of the truck. My airbags never deployed and my seatbelt never locked up. I am severely injured and am still seeking treatment for my injuries. It was over $11,000 in damages. The truck now down shifts and it sounds likie the bottom is dropping out. It also shakes when at highway speed.

Page 6 of 6: complaints 131 to 143 of 143, newest first, as owners wrote them.
There is a rough idle. I have toke the truck to the dealership they have said there is nothing wrong. It has a hard start during cold weather
Coolant level drops in reservoir. Strong smell of coolant coming from engine compartment. Periodically a white cloud emits from under hood outwards from front of vehicle. Service center has preformed pressure test, dye test with no findings. Orange discoloration on hood liner above reservoir cap. Have replaced cap. Still coolant level dropping. (not severe but slight)
Transmission problems. When reversing up a driveway the truck will stall as the gas is pressed it will rev up but not go anywhere, then jump into reverse as if the petal was floored. Also some times when entering the highway the transmission doesn't shift into the correct gears also jumping into gear which could cause accidents.

An independent mechanic was made aware of the failure and performed a pressure test, which revealed that the radiator fractured from the top left corner. A dealer was not made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in recall. The failure mileage was 55,200.

The air conditioning compressor prematurely failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer or an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was waiting for a response to determine if a dealer would be able to diagnose the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
So due to known issues with the yolk on the differential, the lag in the transmission shift and engine communication leads to extreme vibration at highway speeds and clunking and jerking while driving around town. So when the transmission shifts there is a delay in the motor recognizing it so it revs up some so when the transmission finally finds the gear it causes it to kick. And since the yolk has play in it, it causes the differential to clunk as the rotation of the driveshaft catches up at a quicker rate. Which leads to more looseness in the yoke and creates a wobble in the driveshaft. And an unsettling sound while driving around.
Air bag deployment
L86 engine goes through 1 quart of oil every 5000 miles. The truck only has 10k miles. It has used oil since day one.
