| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2005 tacoma has had a clutch squeal since it was brand new. toyota has replaced 2 clutches after 2 release bearing failures in less then 1 years time. after the second clutch the squeal came back within 3,000 miles. the dealer lubed the slave cylinder / clutch fork intersection point. after several trips from 48 hrs to 1 month intervals they lubed it numerous times. fed up i informed them i would not be coming in constantly to have the transmission lubed. they replaced the slave cylinder and clutch fork. within 48 hrs the squeal was back. after having the vehicle in for a toyota field tech to look at the replaced the clutch return spring. within 24 hours the squeal was back. during all the incidents i contacted toyota to keep them informed of the issues. the latest call resulted in escalation as i have requested replacement of the transmission as there is apparently a defect in the casting of the transmission or an internal issue. toyota called me back to say they would work out a plan with my dealer to fix the vehicle. (this is after 13 trips to the dealer for the same problem between repairs and lube trips.) i was informed i would be called back no later then thursday nov 14th. as of this point there has been no contact and i'm taking legal actions. *tr |
