 Description of the problemI purchased the vehicle new & had the dealer install the optional toyota trd supercharger at approximately 5k miles. At approximately 10k+ miles, i started to notice while at cruising speed (30-50mph) if i needed rapid acceleration to pass or enter the highway, the tachometer would show the engine revving but the vehicle will not accelerate. The vehicle is used for commuting 100 mi daily (highway)the toyota dealer confirmed the problem / removed the transmission to access the clutch & found no abnormal wear or defect. Toyota now states because i modified the vehicle with the toyota optional trd dealer installed supercharger, there is no warranty & i have to pay for the repair. See the following link: http://www. Trdusa. Com/parts-detail. Html? P=ptr29-35120&years=2015&models=tacoma&categories=all&subcategories=all : warranty is the same as other trd powertrain components: 12 months or 12,000 miles or the balance of the 5 year/60,000 new car powertrain warranty, whichever is greater, when installed by an authorized toyota dealer. Superchargers installed by anyone other than an authorized toyota dealer are warranted for 12 months or 12,000 miles. : the dealer feels the oem clutch/pressure plate is not sufficient to support the extra power & replacing with new oem parts will not resolve the issue but upgrading to heavy duty aftermarket parts is recommended. The vehicle was drivable but potentially dangerous when rapid acceleration is needed. The "right" thing for toyota to do would cover 100% of the labor & 50% of the aftermarket part upgrade since toyota doesn't offer a trd upgrade. It seems toyota denies all claims related to repairs after a supercharger install.
