Rear coolant bypass joint leak. This is a plastic defective pipe that has leaked on my truck and thousands of others! The dealership wants 2000 dollars to repair their cheap mistake! I have pictures and invoice to upload, but the site will not allow it.

It has been well established among 2016 and up Toyota Tacoma owners and clubs that the Rear Coolant Bypass Joint leaks at different mileages, If the loss of coolant happens rapidly enough the engine could overheat and siez up and cause the pistions to weld to the cylinders along with causing extensive engine damage not to mention how the driver would handel the truck, Toyota dealerships and Manufacture also know of This Coolant Bypass joint leak and how common it is. Also the corrosive build up from the antifreeze will cause other parts and wires to not work, Attached is my part and the build up of antifreez before the leak,

The contact called the dealer.servco Toyota kauai Toyota 2477 ulu maika St, lihue, hi 96766 (808) 245-6978 and they said they would not look at the engine unless he agreed to pay a diagnostic fee.

Heard valves tapping alot of time. Reported and took to Toyota. They said no code no work. They gave the line of when this gas hits this part then this one tries to catch up or burn excess fuel. Out of 40 plus years and puchasing many vehicle I never been told that before. I talked to other 2017 owners and they dont have this issue. Also the brakes make metalic clunking noises moving backwars and fowrds when braking. Thier answer was floating valves. And again this issue isnt on other tacomma owners. I tryed three times with valve issues. Same old line no code no work. Maybe pads are worn but still have 70 % left on pads

Transmission constant hunting/ shifting.

Noticing that as I come to a stop at the last second the drivetrain seems to snap out of gear causing a very loud clunk at this point the vehicle seems to free wheel forward unsafely.. the jolt you get can be compared to putting the vehicle into gear at too high of an idol, which will cause premature wear and tear to your drivetrain. Also, the engine seems to surge at idol while in gear and if you aren't ready for it and you are parking behind something, you run the risk of hitting it.. I have addressed the drivetrain issue with the dealer, but they say they can't get this to happen for them. Very interesting considering there seems to be others with similar issues.

My truck makes a loud thud sound when accelerating from a dead stop, slowing down to a dead stop, and slowing down fast from higher speeds from 70-25. This happens multiple times a day. I'm fearing for my life and am not in financial position to get another car. Please look into this quickly. Thank you

Engine stalls when attempting rapid acceleration when engine RPM is less than 3000. This is a safety issue. I recently attempted rapid acceleration when making a left turn to avoid a collision where an oncoming driver ran a red light. The engine stalled. I have experienced other similar incidents. I have reported this to my Toyota service center twice. The first time I was told Toyota is aware of the condition, which would be addressed in a software update. The second time I was told my engine was operating within normal specification parameters, and no such software update was forthcoming. It was raining the day I bought this vehicle, so it was not possible to test low end acceleration. I would never have bought this vehicle had I known low end acceleration was so lethargic. On several occasions it has nearly gotten me killed.
