Location: s. Minnesota, approx. Zero degrees, random ice and snow on pavement; was unable to engage 4-wheel drive for protection; tried twice; 75 miles later was able to engage. Complained to vendor, who called toyota and was told they'd had "a few" similar incidents during extremely cold weather, but no injuries resulted.
1999 Toyota Tacoma transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Drivers side window rattles and is not able to be properly fixed.
Speedometer increases to be off at higher speeds 5 MPH at 55 and increases as speed goes higher.
Vehicle vibrates @ between 35 & 60 MPH dealer can't fix, tried 4 times. Performance hesitation around 50 MPH with overdrive off (automatic transmission.) dealer can't fix.
Tacoma pre runner, shift lever jumps out of gear into 1st into 2nd gear, 2nd into drive, and then drive into neutral on its own. Yh
Transfer case seized, causing vehicle to come to complete stop in the middle of intersection. Vehicle was rendered immobile. Dealer stated that such operation "is normal on hard surfaces." in my opinion, upredictable driveline seizure is dangerous and indicative of a manufacturing defect which will cause an accident if not corrected. Northcutt toyota will not fix the problem.
