Im holding onto hope that they help me out. The Durango I traded in for the Jeep was as reliable as they come. I’m really praying I didn’t shoot myself in the foot by getting rid of it.
What did you have replaced at 500 miles? The engine or the truck? Either once is crazy

Engine. Now I’m getting the p0300 and ESS on this engine, misfiring and stuttering like crazy. Dealers are three weeks out and jeepcares could care less that I have no car for weeks. Not willing to get a rental, stating its on the dealership to provide.
Everything about that is ridiculous. These trucks are way too expensive to have these kind of problems.
You want to see ridiculous?
I was one of those later ones to report my misfires (PO302, #2 cylinder misfire) First attempt was to replace the injector. Hours later it misfired again. It went back in but this time it stayed at the lot for 50 days waiting for a camshaft. First one arrived damaged and had to wait for the second one. The dealership rented a vehicle for me from Enterprise which took a load of concern off me. Cost to the dealership was $2200 CAD.
Really wish I got the Tacoma is was looking at
It’s certainly frustrating to doubt your choice that you shoulda gone with the tacoma instead of the JT but you woulda just dealt with other issues there too. I had the 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport since new. Dropped $11k in upgrades over three years, dealt with vibration issues, replaced driveshaft, replaced rack and pinion, front diff needle bearing replaced, manual transmission had half the oil required from the factory that I didn’t find out about till I changed my own oil in it at 16k. Oil analysis showed tranny was baked and sycro gear was grinding at 110k kms and Toyota refused to fix it. Rear diff was down 1 quart from the factory. Techs constantly kept screwing up causing damage which I would find out later. Service blamed me for stressing the techs which caused them to screw up!
damn. Sorry you had to deal with all that.

God saw that during my 3 years of ownership I was being tormented too much and sent an elk to run in front of me which fixed all my tacoma problems in an instant. Air bags did not go off.
I had paid for Toyota’s very good extended warranty (which wouldn’t fix the tranny) (7 years, 200,000 kms) which at the time the elk wrote off my truck, Toyota’s ECP owed me back, 4 years and 65k kms value of unused warranty, $1000 I expected to come back.
I cancelled the warranty and waited 10 weeks for a cheque only to be told by ECP “because approved warranty repairs over the 3 years cost more than I paid for the plan they were not refunding any money.”
I called it corporate theft. New order sales man laughed me. I Called Corporate to have them explain and was hung up on.
The order I put in for the PRO model wasn’t able to be made due to covid so I fired them and went to Jeep.
Heavy sigh….the story goes much deeper but the moral of my story is “grass is not greener on the other side.” Hang in there.
damn, sorry you had to deal with all that. I’ve heard Toyota service and corporate was a major PITA to deal with. But not to that extent. Glad you are ok.

PO302. They replaced #2 injector first then when it misfired again they said that cam was damaged by #2 intake valve not seating.
Thanks, so I assume the LH intake cam was replace? Was there an oil analysis showing a elevated iron wear numbers for the cam wear?
Yes, LH. Iron elevation happened after my first 10k kms.
