What owners wrote
2005 toyota tacoma 2wd manual with 800 miles develop a major oil leak between the transmission and the crank shaft. Gear shift not smooth.
During recent cold winter weather, had couple incidents where brakes appeared to not operate correctly on moderate ice/slushy road condition and this caused on one occasion to run through intersection due to not being able to stop the vehicle being fortunate that no other traffic was present at the time. This all comes after a transmission replacement at 6271 miles and rear brake work on the vehicle at 6558 miles. This truck is like a lemon.
