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 feeling can best be described as if the vehicle has been bumped from behind. The service department was not able to duplicate the problem. On May 5, 2017 the vehicle was taken in for routine maintenance and retained by the Toyota dealer due to a leaking rear differential that was described as a serious safety defect. 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.

- White Oak, GA, USA

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.

- Doylestown, PA, USA

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.

- Glendale, AZ, USA

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

- Weaverville, NC, USA

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.

- Honolulu, HI, USA

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.

- Cypress, TX, USA

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.

Have a serious vibration in the transmission. Have took the truck in 4 times they did the upgrade on the computer it did help. Now the problem is back they have no answer's for me. Got told by 50,000 miles it should work itself out. Called Toyota to complain they are aware of the problems. I got told they have no answer's how how to fix the problem. My complaint is they have issues with the 2016 and 2017.they are not fixing them but yet still ripping people off buy selling trucks with a major problem. I use to love my Toyota but now I'm done and will never buy one again since they don't back them up anymore and rip people off.

- North Canton, OH, USA

This vehicle has a pronounced vibration in the gas pedal, floor and steering wheel between 2,000 and 2,400 RPM when the vehicle is in gear and under load. It also vibrates when in gear and at idle.

- Fair Oaks, CA, USA

Transmission has a flare, shudder, jerky and clunk. I have been dealing with it since 07-16-2016

- Midlothian, VA, USA

I have a vibration that come through the steering wheel and gas pedal at 2,000 - 2,500 RPM. It is very pronounced and distracting when driving. Toyota has driven and identified the issue but says it is "inherent" to the vehicle and is "operating as designed". please check the forums on this issue, mainly Tacoma world. Seems to happen, as mine did, starting at around 500 miles on the vehicle. Spoke with Toyota corporate and said there is nothing they would do since a tsb has not been issued. This is a major safety concern as it literally numbs your fingers driving for longer periods in that RPM range.
