Hopefully some owners can answer whether Tacomas normally display first and second gears. I am guessing that they do when working correctly and the fact that your problems are with those two gears does not sound like a coincidence to me. The failing torque converters seem to take out the shift solenoids , which is why other failing transmissions have lost lower gears completely.It could be. Mine never reports itself in gears 1 or 2 even when fully stopped (which ironically seem to be the two gears giving me problems). The lowest it ever shows is gear 3 on the dash.
Maybe you should ask the dealer if it is normal for it to just ignore the first two gears. You could ask to drive another Taco and see what it does. It sounds like your dealer is jerking you around, since other people say that their trucks shift fine out of park and between the lower gears.
Good Luck and keep us posted.
