Bought a used 2007 Tacoma 4x4 TRD Off-Road.
It has 27,0000 miles on it. I've now had it "hunt" for a gear twice.
Let me explain,
While slowing and going into or coming out of a turn the transmission
acts as if it's in neutral. The RPMs will go up and on instinct, I automatically let off the gas. Only then does it find a gear and then it takes off.
The first time it did it I thought maybe it was me not used to the truck and maybe that was just a fluke? But now it's happened TWICE in less then 75 miles I know this isn't "right".
This could be dangerous in a left turn in traffic.
Any idea? Is this some thing the powertrain warranty will cover?
I know I no longer have the 36,000-3 year warranty, but I think it may have a 60,000/6 year powertrain warranty?
