2014 Toyota Tacoma Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“The neutral safety switch prevents the shifter to engage the drive. I have had the neutral safety switch replaced one time under the manufacture warrantee.

Or at any situation where I have to make a tight turn....had 4x4 before and none did this to me...... I have a Tacoma base 5 speed manual.”

“We were driving home after the purchase of the truck. There was severe vibration inside the cab and it felt like the driveshaft was going to fall out. We have had back to the dealer numerous times for this issue and have been told it is a characteristic of the vehicle by the dealer and 2 other representatives from Toyota.
