problem #2

Dec 262006

Tacoma 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,900 miles
After driving in wet/heavy snow I cannot shift into reverse or park. Without shifting into park the ignition key cannot be turned all the way off or removed. I had to disconnect the battery cable to prevent the battery from dying while the snow melted.

Tacoma 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Drove vehicle down a paved road in the snow. Transmission linkage froze up in drive when vehicle was parked. Had to drive vehicle directly to dealer. Dealer only thawed out the linkage. Now everytime it snows, linkage freezes up.
