Consumer Description

AT 60,000 MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS COME ON WHEN STARTING UP TRUCK IN MORNING. THIS PUT THE TRUCK INTO LIMP MODE. MY MECHANIC CLEARED THE CODES BUT DID NOT WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN REPAIRING AS HE COULDN'T GUARANTEE IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD AND SAID TOYOTA WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. DEALER ADVISED APPROXIMATELY $2,000 TO REPAIR. AFTER SEEING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM 2012 TACOMA OWNERS, I CAN NOT BELIEVE TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER A RECALL SINCE THEY COVERED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TUNDRA AND SEQUOIA.
