2001 Toyota Tacoma SR5 TRD Double Cab review from North America
"High priced, very low in satisfaction."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I didn't notice it until I drove the truck for a few days and then I realized something was wrong. Every time I come to a complete stop a light the transmission will jerk, sometimes violently. I took it to the dealer to get the truck looked at and they claim that it is totally normal. I was in total shock! I paid $27,000 for this truck, and all that they call tell me is that the problem is normal and that it has been happening to Toyota trucks since 1989? I cannot believe the problem with the transmissions has been going on unchanged! Another thing that I noticed is that after I've been running around town. The truck doesn't like to start on the first try. Sometimes it takes at least 3 tries to get a brand knew truck started? All this does not make any sense and I can't wait to sell this thing!
General comments?
This truck looks great, but it runs and operates horribly.
