The federal safety agency recall number 17v285 I took my truck to the dealership for this safety recall on may 9, 2017. Toyota says this problem has a remedy, but my dealer says the parts are not available. The federal safety agency website says to file a complaint if repairs are not made in a timely manner. I have been without the use of this vehicle for two months, how long is considered "timely"?

Later that they, they informed me there was a leak in place and that they would have to keep the truck. They have me a loaner car in the meantime. Now, they still have no eta on the part and someone was told beginning of 2018. I need the truck, as I am in the process of moving. I spoke with the dealership and toyota corporate who both said, "we don't know".

I took my tacoma to the dealer for regular oil/service, I was advised of a safety related recall (h0g) they advised me not to drive it until corrected, gave me a "loaner". I've yet to get an assessment and return date. The dealership seems to not be getting information from the corporate office. I contacted the corporate office to ask what my options were. (refund, replacement, etc) I told them I was aware of a "lemon law" . The rep got kind of short with me, said I would be hearing from their legal dept. After 2 weeks no response, I called back. They said it could be 30-45 days before getting a response. Concerns I have are: 1) my vehicle just setting there not being driven developing more problems I'll have to deal with. 2) a "black mark" on its resale value. 3) toyota trying to force me into a "low ball" settlement. The dealer has been fair as possible so far but they seem to be in a void regarding the recall from their corporate office. I almost have the vehicle paid off and not looking forward starting over or getting involved in a legal proceeding. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Rear differential gasket leaks. Couldnt fix it when I went in because they didnt have parts. Refused to give me a rental truck. Told me I needed to prove I owned a business. They also wanted to keep my vehicle but I have no other means to get to work. And they didnt know how long it was going to take to get the parts. Told me 8 plus weeks to get a gasket.
Took my car to the dealer, marietta toyota, for service and it was impounded on may 31, 2017 due to safety recall of rear differential leak. I was informed at that time that the parts to fix the issue would not be available for at least two months. It has now been a month and I would like some information on what action I can take.
Toyota recalled my 2016 tacoma for rear differential leak safety recall. After dropping my truck off today they said they would be able to repair it if they get the parts from toyota, which they said could take months. My question is, why should they inconvenience me for months to repair my vehicle. Toyota required me to leave my vehicle at the dealership because it is a safety recall. They did provide me with a rental car, which does me no good because I bought a truck and I need a truck. At the dealership at vineland nj they already had 15 tacoma's in the back lot. The manager told me they would be fixed on a first come first serve basis. He said he had a small dealership and he wasn't sure how fast he could get parts because there were 288,000 tacoma's involved. I am out of a truck for god knows how long.
Took my toyota for normal service and they indicate a recall for the rear differential. They said it would be repaired within a day. It has been 12 days and toyota said they do not when they will get parts or when they will fix it. They said it could be a month or more. I asked for an update today and they said it could be months.
On may 4,2017 took vehicle in for 15k service though it only had 11k miles.was advised there was a recall and did I want it checked, "would only be a couple hrs." it has been at the dealerships parking lot for two (2) months, exposed to temperatures of 100 plus. I had planned to keep this vehicle for a long time, kept it garaged when not in use etc. Now after this recall and having had other issues in october 2016 such as "down level software", (I think it was corrected), attached work order, I don't really trust this vehicle as to "what else was missed on the plant floor" that I will be paying for in the future?? As far as I'm concerned toyota mtrs. Corp. Sold me a defective vehicle.

The rear differential is leaking fluid. On february 11, 2017 the vehicle was taken in for routine service and inspected for a clunking sound that occurs sporadically upon braking.

The vehicle has not been repaired as of june 24, 2017.

Rear differential is leaking oil. Was informed of a recall nearly 2 months ago and also informed that it would be unsafe to continue to drive it. Toyota has yet to have this vehicle repaired. Please help.
I took the truck in for regular maintenance and was told they had to keep the truck for a recall. They gave me a loaner car but it has now been three weeks. No one can tell me when there will be a fix for this recall. Since leaving it a second recall has been issued and there is no fix for this one as well. 3 weeks is excessive by anyone's definition. Dealer won't return phone calls. Toyota corporate told me it was the dealers responsibility. What am I supposed to, lawyer-up?
2016 toyota tacoma recalled for leaky rear differential. I bought it brand new 11 months ago and it has been in the shop a month and a half of that. I still have to make payments while my truck sits at the dealership. I called southeast toyota and they lied to me telling me if I had financed through toyota financial that I wouldn't have to make payments right now. I am still paying for the truck that's been sitting at the dealer for 6 weeks. Toyota says they have no idea when they will fix my truck. I also have taken it in for a noise coming from the passenger side dash that was never fixed. I took my truck in for the 15000 mile tire rotation and was informed it had a leaky rear differential and have never seen my truck that I am still paying for again,
Recall for rear differential leaking.
Brought my 2016 toyota tacoma in for 20,000 mile service to right toyota on may 5th 2017. Was told by service manager my truck rear differential was leaking and was under recall. They would have to hold my vehicle. They were not sure when toyota would come up with a repair. I called right toyota on may 30th to see if my vehicle was any closer to being repaired. Was told toyota still does not have a procedure for repair yet. Nor did they know when they would. My vehicle also had a hesitation when I took it in for service. So I still don't have my truck back that I use for my business. They say it is unsafe to drive. No time frame of how long for repair. Has been a month now.
Took my truck to dealer for 15k routine service/oil change. They announced a recall regrading a "leaking rear differential" advised keeping the truck until repairs were completed,(provided rental) but no time frame for completion. This is causing a hardship on both my personal and work related travel (I go out of state a lot)

Rear differential on my trd off road model 4x4 truck is showing seepage despite not being included in recall from toyota
Chirping noise comes and goes. Very loud. Also a constant clicking. Anything that makes noise like that will fail soon. Also had a grinding noise while in four wheel drive on beach and truck started to lose power.grinding went away but happens often.
I took my tacoma to headquarter toyota in miami florida, reason was for the recall issued on the 4/27/17 the vehicle was returned to me as the recall "done" when I inspect the vehicle its still leaking dif fluid and I call the service adviser and he told me that they did not performed the recall b/c they did not have the parts...... So at this point you let me keep my car without letting me know that no parts were changed... Cmon toyota...
The differential needed replacement at <10,000 due to a loud howling noise when cruising at 55 MPH. The noise was noted when I first picked up the vehicle from the dealership, but the volume got much louder over time. Even my 4 year old child asked, "what's that sound?" the service records noted metal "silver shavings" were found in the differential. Even after replacing the differential, there has been no change in the howling sound at 55 MPH. I'm concerned the differential is defective. Many other tacoma owners have reported the exact same symptom. [https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-poll-rear-end-noise-howling-when-feathering-throttle.442341/] to my knowledge, no one has reported a successful fix.
Vehicle is producing a howl during throttle feathering at 50-60mph. The sound is coming from the rear of the vehicle but toyota has characterized as "normal operation". I have test driven other tacoma vehicles of the same year but was not able to reproduce the sound.
Rear end differential gear howling from 52-59mph - all driving conditions. Toyota says it is 'normal' however it only does it on a few vehicles.
