New Toyota Tacoma Warranty Extension For Universal Joint & Prop Shaft Vibrations 2005-2011

I have paid twice to have universal joints replaced in my '06.

I've had '06 prerunner for 6 years and have replaced the carrier bearing and U-joints twice.
I wish they would compensate those of us that have already paid for repairs.

I just changed 1 - U Joint on my 2003 Tacoma pre-runner (4 Door) . My truck still isn't riding good. Feel the vibration so I have 2 more to change. I think the recall should start at 2003, my truck has been making a noise when I stop and go in reverse for the past 5 or so years. I figured it was the U joint I just changed , that was causing the noise but it wasn't because it still does it.

Took the advice from this today and went to the local Toyota dealership about my ongoing vibration issue and they informed me that my problem was not the prop shaft as listed and the greedy service department wanted me to fork out 2k for repairs. The vibration saga continues for me after 3 year of this nonsense.

My joints and bearings we're replaced originally by my father about 5 years ago and this past summer I needed to replace the rear bearing and 1 U-joint and have 2 regreased. Taking a chance today and seeing if the dealer will stand up and correct this.

Completed recall repairs (ZH2) on my 2006 Tacoma base model at Toyota dealer today. Replaced driveshaft U-Joint. I'm sad to report that the vibration is still there. It might be better, but still feels like something is just not right. Everything else about the truck is amazing. In the past the Goodyear tire store gave me free tires since he couldn't figure out the tiny vibration. Still searching for a way to fix this.

Its hard to trust Big Two Toyota in my area, Gilbert AZ. I dont even go there anymore. Last time they quoted me $2,000 for needed repair work. Much of what was on their list had already been done at another dealership.

Finally took my 2010 regular cab into nearby dealer yesterday afternoon. I had received the notice in the mail about two weeks ago regarding this universal joint program. I explained to service assistant manager how I have had a highway speed vibration in the vehicle since I got it used in Jan-2016 and I am now on my fourth set of tires and uncountable re-balances trying to get rid of the shake. He said they would test drive it and look at the driveshaft. Two hours later I get called back to the dealer by the assistant manager to pick up vehicle. He explains that the u-joints on my truck were fine and the shops installing my tires must not have used a tire balance machine that has a road-force measurement and would I like them to check my tires on their machine. Obviously not hearing anything I said previously about my saga with reputable tire installers and that I witnessed the tire installations and balancing of on machines that did test for road force factors. I let my adrenaline settle, asked for my keys, and drove home.

just took my 06 Tacoma 2 wheel drive in for this campaign....ZH2 Driveline Vibration . service dept called & said needed only 2 u joints ....wants $ 285.00 for the repair . I see in the notification no where does it state the repairs are cost free....it states to see the details pertaining to this campaign . Searched all over Toyota websites & cannot find any particulars of the " details " stated in the notification . Anyone out there have any info on this ?

I was wondering if one of the signs of this problem, is shaking and sputtering when you step on the gas. After stopping.. Also when stopping it will feel like the vehicle is jumping as if someone has hit you from behind. Have had my truck to the shop twice with this problem and they couldn’t find anything wrong.

I lemon'd mine (was brand new 2012 4 door TRD with manual trans). Toyota denied there was a problem the entire time, even during arbitration, which I won after proving the problem. Toyota USA even told the dealer not to write a repair order or accept my truck in - because each documented visit counted towards becoming a lemon. I've had 3 F150's since, and love them.

Took my truck in to Toyota of Plano Texas for this noise and they told me it was the left front wheel bearing, which they would helpfully replace for $1300. Never heard of a wheel bearing noise that comes from the middle of the truck and goes away when you push in in the clutch. SO thanks for this information. I greased the U joint and the noise went away temporarily. Now it is is back and I am off to try to find an honest dealer.

Does this only cover it if you bought the Tacoma brand new through toyota?

My 06’ has had this vibration for a bit now and now it is worsening. I had tires rotated and balanced to eliminate them. I drove straight to the Toyota dealer and mentioned that I now know it’s drivetrain related. He did say that this vibration is common. I left it there and before I left I looked under truck and could see some leakage at the front U-Joint seal. I quickly “Googled” the issue and asked them to check the TSB’s and program ZH2. The problem started as a slight vibration while at slow speeds that felt like wash boarding but now is worse. I’ll find out in a couple of days what the issue is.

really? just did 3 U joints and a mid shaft bearing. I have 193K, small lift. I just figured it was maintenance for having a small lift.

Took my 08' Tacoma in for the dealer to replace the driveshaft & U-joint. He called said they replaced it but the Transfer Case needed to be replaced for $3,500. Wondering if the vibration caused by the driveshaft on the recall could be causing the wearing within the transfer case?
