| My 2005 toyota tacoma quad cab sr5 has an issue with the transmission. at a complete stop with my foot firmly on the brake my truck lunges forward in a very dangerous abrupt manner as though someone rear ended me. this happens often at stop lights a few seconds after i come to a complete stop. a second issue is that my paint is cracking and peeling on my roof and my clear coat is noticeably bad on the edges of my hood and doors. my truck is not of appropriate age or weather conditions to have these types of paint problems. toyota refuses to investigate or pay for my issues and just recommends that i go pay a dealer to fix it out of my pocket. i see several others with the exact same problems on many blogs, class action anyone? | |||

| My wife and i bought a cirtified used 2005 toyota tacoma last year. auto 4x4 ext cab trd with 42k... great truck but we have the same issue that iv'e heard so much about. after stopping at a red light, several seconds later it wants to lunge forward. not every time but probably 1 out of 5 stops. as one owner put it, it feels as though as someone is trying to push you with their car. no, its not the floor mats or one foot on both pedals. so far it hasn't jumped forward and hit anyone but i have read that it's happend.. plan on taking it in to the dealer so they can give me the run arround... | |||

| My 2005 toyota tacoma engine suddenly accelerated. the pedal moved to floor and stayed there. i immediately pushed in the clutch. i checked to make sure there was no interference from the rubber mat and pumped the pedal several times while coasting. after about five seconds, the engine dropped from redline and resumed normal idle. in an automatic transmission this would have been a highly dangerous condition. *tr | |||

| I took my 2005 toyota tacoma in for a squeal in the window, under warranty. sun toyota told me i would need a regulator. i left my truck there for four hours, when i returned to pick it up, they informed me that my clutch was completely warned out. i didn't bring it in for any kind of clutch repair, mind the fact i was only at 26k miles. i asked how did they determined that. the guy in the service dept. said he, could feel it with his foot. that i would have to pay $800.00 up front for them to even look at it, and that would just tell them if there is a problem and if it was a warranty item or if i wore it out. i told them there was no way i could have worn out the clutch in 26k miles, they told me that teenagers can wear a clutch out at 18k miles, however i am nowhere near a teenager anymore. so anyway, i did not shell out $800.00. instead i took my truck to my service man, that has nothing to do with toyota, and told him everything that happened at toyota. he could not believe what i had been told. then proceeded to check out the truck, put it on a lift, took it down and adjusted the clutch, and told me there is nothing wrong with your clutch, and he didn't charge me anything! after that episode i contacted the bbb, i tried to contact toyota corp., useless! the bbb could not resolve this either. the bottom line is, toyota the company stinks, they will tell you lies, to get money out of you. then when you prove them wrong. they still won't admit they made a mistake. i love my truck and still own it. however now i tell everyone what a bad company toyota is and to research it before they buy, so far i've talked three people out of buying one. i also have friends that have told me of problems they have had with their toyota trucks! *tr | |||

| The events leading up to the incident was driving my vehicle on vacation. the motor mount on the vehicle broke, and the engine was leaning to the driver side. toyota refused coverage for a number of reasons, including saying it wasn't covered under warranty, my aftermarket shocks caused the motor mount to break, my heavy front bumper caused the problem, and they said i drove the truck to hard. under the magnusson-moss act, i asked them to prove that my aftermarket products caused the failure. they explained that they couldn't do that and offered me arbitration. because of the cost of renting a car while waiting for arbitration, i decided to fix the truck out of my own pocket and take toyota to small claims court. i won my case, and toyota was ordered to pay me $2,900.00. since my court case, i have joined an internet forum in which there has been at least 5 other 2005 tacomas with the same exact issue; most recently last week. toyota needs to recognize this is a problem before someone dies behind the wheel as a result of engine mount failure. *tr | |||

| Vehicle surges forward slightly when stopped at stoplight. happens nearly every time i stop the vehicle without having it in park mode. the severity of the surge seems to be proportional with the velocity of the vehicle prior to stopping (i.e. surge is more pronounced when stopping from a higher velocity than from a lower velocity). the surge event occurs roughly 2-3 seconds after vehicle comes to a full stop, and lasts perhaps 0.5 seconds then goes away. with the foot on the brake, the vehicle doesn't go very far, but it's a safety concern in the event the surge becomes uncontrollable. corrective action has been to maintain a greater-than-usual distance from the intersection or from the vehicle in front. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2005 toyota tacoma. while driving approximately 15 mph on normal road conditions, the vehicle lunged forward when the brake pedal was depressed. the contact heard a loud squealing noise coming from the wheels. the gear shifter was placed into park in order to stop the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. the failure recurred and was taken to the dealer on three occasions, but there were no resolutions. the vehicle is currently operating properly. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was unavailable and current mileage was 45,000. see also 10254167. dsy | |||

| Upon coming to a stop (most of the time...perhaps more then 50%), the vehicle will 'lurch' forward slightly...even when the brake is depressed. this was reported to the dealer a year ago (and is on file with them). i was told that this condition was 'normal'. no action has been taken by the dealer to correct or otherwise stop this condition. it has not been so bad that i could not stop the vehicle (just press the brake pedal harder). still, if not paying attention, a collision might readily occur in stopped traffic. *jb | |||

| 1) 2005 toyota tacoma lurch while slowing or stopped. i have noticed it with or without a/c or defrost on. generally, i come to a complete stop, and a few seconds later, it feels as though the vehicle lurches forward slightly. 2) while it has not caused an accident, it is somewhat disconcerting. 3) no repairs or replacement parts have been effected. i've guessed it is a transmission downshift, and the resulting increased torque at the rear wheels results in the lurch. the more firmly the brakes are applied, the less noticeable the problem. *jb | |||

| 2005 toyota tacoma (6 speed manual transmission) has experienced excessive transmission noise and clutch judder when starting in first gear since the day of purchase. the transmission has been, at times, excessively difficult to shift and the judder has been, on rare occasions, evident in second gear. both problems have been intermittent since the vehicle was delivered. on the morning of july 28th, the judder problem was particularly bad and was evident with every start in first gear and sometimes in second gear. it became more violent with each start and at one point, after the clutch pedal was fully released, there was a sudden slip of the clutch disc followed by sudden friction. this resulted in loss of traction of the drive wheels and subsequent total loss of control of the vehicle. control was regained relatively quickly by depressing the clutch pedal to remove drive power from the wheels and a catastrophic event was narrowly avoided. toyota has attempted repair of this judder problem three times including a complete clutch assembly replacement at 6,500 miles, but now claims that the vehicle operates normally. the vehicle was returned to a dealer shortly after the incident described above and the shop foreman said again, the vehicle was operating normally. he also claimed that per toyota's directive, he is not to keep the vehicle unless he has prior approval from toyota to do so. *jb | |||

| My son was driving his 2005 toyota tacoma when suddenly he heard and felt a sudden loud noise like a gun shot. he lost all power in his truck. he was able to get his truck off the interstate. he discovered his drive shaft had fallen out! it is a miracle he was not killed! it is only by god's grace that when the front u-bolt broke, the drive shaft broke into two pieces. the rear piece caught on the rear axle. we are pleased he was not hurt, but is this same problem toyota has with its 2010 toyota tacoma? please look into this problem before someone is killed. *tr | |||

| 2005 tacoma, trd sport pkg, 6 speed manual behind a v6. at about 27k the clutch pedal started making this horrendous squeak. the dealer performed a tsb to replace the clutch pedal assembly. squeak was gone for about 6k miles but the pedal sticks. since that first replacement of the pedal assembly, the dealer greases it every 6-8k miles because the squeak keeps returning and the pedal still sticks! they did replace the pedal assembly a second time however now the pedal feels like it is going to fall off and it still sticks. the last straw was when i brought it to the dealer and they told me that it was excessive use of the pedal, the truck was not made to drive in traffic. what the heck was it made for?? i drive the highway everyday to work and yes, i occasionally get caught in traffic due to an accident, but that might happen once every other week! toyota corporate was no help, they said i would have to work with the dealer because i was out of warranty. the dealer doesn't return phone calls and i am stuck with a truck that has a bad clutch pedal! *tr | |||

| My 2005 tacoma has had a clutch squeal since it was brand new. toyota has replaced 2 clutches after 2 release bearing failures in less then 1 years time. after the second clutch the squeal came back within 3,000 miles. the dealer lubed the slave cylinder / clutch fork intersection point. after several trips from 48 hrs to 1 month intervals they lubed it numerous times. fed up i informed them i would not be coming in constantly to have the transmission lubed. they replaced the slave cylinder and clutch fork. within 48 hrs the squeal was back. after having the vehicle in for a toyota field tech to look at the replaced the clutch return spring. within 24 hours the squeal was back. during all the incidents i contacted toyota to keep them informed of the issues. the latest call resulted in escalation as i have requested replacement of the transmission as there is apparently a defect in the casting of the transmission or an internal issue. toyota called me back to say they would work out a plan with my dealer to fix the vehicle. (this is after 13 trips to the dealer for the same problem between repairs and lube trips.) i was informed i would be called back no later then thursday nov 14th. as of this point there has been no contact and i'm taking legal actions. *tr | |||

| This is a follow up to a previous complaint regarding difficulty shifting particularly from 1st to 2nd. after sending three certified letters to toyota (the last sent to the president's office) i finally, more than 6 months later, received a written response. perhaps because of the reasons i cited for my failed mediation attempt (in particular being given bad advice, which, at the time, i naively accepted, by the toyota factory trained specialist on how to prepare for the mediation) i was granted a second attempt at mediation. the transmission continues to behave in the fashion i previously mentioned. i simply cannot understand why it is normal for the gears to intermittently clash (and the colder it is, grind) when shifting. i have been driving 5 speeds for more than 2 decades. *jb | |||

| When shifting from 1st to 2nd, there is an inconsistent and unpredictable mechanical sensation that varied from a mild yet distinct rough transition (creating the perception that i was forcing the gears) to a dramatic mechanical sensation of gears changing (at times accompanied with a clicking sound). i returned to the dealership to have the master technician (mt) drive the truck and see if he was experiencing what i was experiencing. he shared that he could feel the gears and said he could replace the transmission if the factory trained specialist (fts) agreed it needed replacing. fts drove the truck with me and did not feel that there was anything abnormal about the shifting (vehicle operates as designed...). because the present shifting sensation makes you feel like you are forcing or grinding gears when shifting from 1st to 2nd, this is a safety issue given i can tend to be more focused on the shifting from 1st to 2nd than on driving and it is uncertain whether the transmission will possibly fail while i am driving the truck. i have owned at least 5 or 6 five-speed vehicles. i have also worked on transmissions. in all my experience with 5-speeds i have owned, i have never experienced a shifting problem like i am presently experiencing. this is a brand new, supposedly, quality toyota vehicle and it unquestionably seems that something is not right with the transmission. i am currently in arbitration. *nm | |||

| I purchased a 2005 toyota tacoma, 6 speed in june of 2005. just before the vehicle attained 14,000 miles it started slipping out of 4th gear. i placed a call to the dealer, and the service department stated, it will need a new transmission during the 5 minute conversation on the phone. after the vehicle was brought to the service department on week later, within the first 2 hours of them receiving the truck a new transmission was ordered. this tells me that they are experiencing this problem regularly. if a number of 6 speed tacomas' have been returned with the same problem, shouldn't the consumer be notified. after all my car slips out of gear while driving, that seems to be a bit of a safety issue to me. the vehicle has slipped out of gear at least 25 times prior to being fixed. *jb | |||
