2014 Toyota Tacoma transmission problems

Filed Apr 30, 2025 · Transmission · NV

While driving the vehicle there is a groaning sound coming from the front end of the Tacoma from the front differential. There is a TSB from Toyota, but they only cover it under warranty and are not treating it as a recall. TSB # 0026-15. I think this is something that is causing wear to the front differential and could cause further damage/could lead to a crash if something was to lock up. The sound is consistent from 15-55 MPH no matter the driving.

In the past two years my Tacoma has had to have the air switching valve replaced twice. Vehicle going into limp mode is not safe. Dealer tells me I need to drive it more than 5K miles a year. So I need to drive more to make an emission component work better? How does that even make sense.

Automatic transmission shifter unable to shift -- beginning in 2017 (3 years into the new car), the transmission began to exhibit periods where it was very difficult to shift. Moving the transmission shifter from stationary to any of the moving positions (r, d, 3, 2, 1) required significant strength. Beginning earlier 2019, check engine light code p0705 begin coming and going on the dashboard display. Three trips to the dealership thus far has failed to properly diagnose and remedy the issue.

The neutral safety switch prevents the shifter to engage the drive. I have had the neutral safety switch replaced one time under the manufacture warrantee. I will have it replaced again tomorrow april 5, 2018. The dealer staid it is caused by corrosion. The safety issue is that you cannot change gears from revers to drive. If it fails to engage, you must run the gears up and down again until it does. So backing out into traffic is very dangerous. Driveways, parking lots and streets, going from reverse to drive from parked to drive etc. Even if it is cause by salt on the roads in northeast, ohio 1 would not think it needed to be replaced every 2 years and if so, the manufacture should have disclosed this as a reoccurring maintenance item.

When attempting to pull out into traffic, when I step on the accelerator, nothing happens. You have to push the sccelerator almost to the floor before you get any power. This is very dangerous, in that I have almost been broad sided numerous times due to this problem. . I have reported this previously via reference number 10680961 back in feb of 2015. The federal safety agency report which I received was incorrect in its description of the problem. I have also reported this to toyota, bit they say they cannot duplicate the problem so nothing has been done. My truck now has approximately 24,000 miles and the condition hasbecome more frequent. I want to go on record with this complaint so if any other drivers are experiencing this condition maybe toyota will do something. Most of the time I am trying to turn into traffic when this condision happens.
