Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A TOYOTA TACOMA 2006 NEW AND FROM DAY ONE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE OVER REVVING ON START UP, WHICH IS VERY DAMAGING TO AN ENGINE IN COLD CLIMATES. IT ALSO BETWEEN SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 4TH, AND 4TH TO 5TH GEARS THE RPM'S WILL NOT COME DOWN TO ENABLE ONE TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND NOT ONLY MAKES FOR A ROAD DANGEROUS CONDITION BUT IT ALSO CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE ENTIRE DRIVE TRAIN. I'VE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL AT TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA, QUITE FRANKLY THEY HAVE A VERY BAD ATTITUDE WITH THIS WHOLE MATTER AND TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, I WAS TOLD BY ONE DEALERSHIP THAT MAYBE I SHOULD LEARN HOW TO SHIFT FASTER. PLEASE ASSIST ME . *TR
