2018 Toyota Tacoma: shudder or vibration when accelerating

Filed Dec 11, 2022 · Suspension, Transmission · WV

When I go to accelerate at low speed my vehicle shudders shakes and vibrates, no engine lights or codes have popped up, the issue is somewhere from transmission to the rear end. Im guessing transmission or torque converter. With my vehicle only having 136,000 miles and is well taken care of this is ridiculous, I have checked drive line and tires and everything seems to be working as it should so it has to be something internal

2018 tacoma automatic transmission shudders, hesitates and misses at speeds between 35-60 MPH. This happens constantly. Slight pedal and low RPM's in 5th and 6th gear is when it's most noticeable. On occasion, there is a more serious miss, which feels as if you have turned the ignition off at 50mph and then right back on. This does not happen frequently, 4 or 5 times in the 20,000 miles I've driven it. The shudder has been looked at by toyota on 3 occasions, and has bee shrugged off as a "typical characteristic of the vehicle". Toyota north america made an appointment for me to see the service manager who rode with me and felt the shudder and missing. He had me test drive a 2019 v6 automatic off road and it also had the shudder and missing in the same range. The final outcome was that it is a characteristic of the vehicle and there is nothing that can be done. The fuel pump recall was done. The power train was re-flashed. No change in the condition. It is very unnerving and disappointing that they consider this condition acceptable.

My 2018 tacoma had a check engine light come on, then the trac light came on. Cruise control quit working and engine runs rough. When driving, vehicle begins to lose acceleration and check engine light begins flashing. When idling, engine runs with with a miss, and when driving, at lower speeds the vehicle shudders as if its losing power.

Vehicle continues to have brake shudder while decelerating from freeway speeds. As the brakes heat up, the brake shudder gets more and more pronounced. I have had this vehicle in to the dealership for maintenance on this issue 5 times in the last 6 months to address the issue. Tsb has been done to address rear axle issues, all recalls have been completed and rear drums were replaced under warranty once. Vehicle is still under manufacturer's 2yr/25,000 mile toyotacare warranty, but manufacturer refused to replace the drums/rotors. I have taken the vehicle to a different shop and had front rotors/pads replaced, along with the rear drums and there is still a vibration coming from the brakes while decelerating. Please advise.

Bought truck brand new. Within a couples of weeks noticed random shuddering vibration when driving the vehicle not around 35-45 MPH. Took it to toyota. They stated they could not imitate the issue. Shuddering is worse and consistent around 35-50 MPH. Currently around 2000 miles on odometer. Scheduled another appt with toyota this week.
