ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DRIVERS SIDE HEATED SEAT CONNECTOR AND HEATER AMP BURNED UP AND SHORTED OUT. THIS CONNECTOR IS LOCATED UNDER THE SEAT. I FEEL THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD TO SAY THE LEAST. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I CALLED TOYOTA USA THEY SAID TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. ONE DAY LAST WEEK THE HEATED SEAT STOPPED WORKING AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT ODOR OF BURNING PLASTIC.

SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, USED, ON 3-8-2018. ODOMETER WAS 65716. BECAUSE OF BRAKE (PULSATION & SQUEAK) AND TIRE BALANCE ISSUES, ASKED THE TOYOTA DEALER TO REPAIR PRIOR TO PURCHASE. "THE TECHNICIAN COMPLETED FOUR WHEEL BRAKE INSPECTION. TECHNICIAN TURNED FRONT ROTORS AND CLEANED PADS. LUBED, AND CLEANED CALIPER AND SLICES." PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED. I TOOK VEHICLE TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP IN AUGUST OF 2019 REPLACED ROTORS, PADS, ADJUSTED LEFT REAR BRAKE AND BALANCED WHEELS. PROBLEM STILL NOT SOLVED. CURRENT ODOMETER IS 74869.

POWER TRAIN
FOR NO REASON AT ALL MY 2019 TOYOTA TACOMA SR5 STALLED AND DISPLAYED A "HIGH TRANSMISSION TEMP WARNING". THIS OCCURRED WHEN PICKING UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT AND THE BREAKS DID NOT FUNCTION I HAD TO USE EBRAKE TO NOT HIT OTHER VEHICLES, AND WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN AZ HEAT. I WAITED AWHILE AFTER TURNING THE TRUCK OFF AND SHIFTING TO PARK THEN TURNED VEHICLE BACK ON AND IT THEN FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL. I THEN TOOK THE TACOMA TO AVONDALE TOYOTA, FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. SO FAR THEY HAVE MADE NO REPAIRS AS THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND ARE ON DAY TWO OF HAVING THE VEHICLE TESTING IT TO SEE IF IT WILL HAVE ISSUE AGAIN. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THE SITUATION WAS TO OCCUR ON A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE OR IN THE MIDDLE OF 115 DEGREE WEATHER. SINCE THIS HAPPENED ME AND MY FAMILY FEEL UNEASY EVERY TIME WE TAKE THE VEHICLE ANYWHERE. I'M HOPING THAT THIS ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AND EITHER RESOLVES ITSELF OR TOYOTA FIXES IT. THAT IS THE REASON I PURCHASED A TOYOTA THEIR REPUTATION OF RELIABILITY, BUT WITH LESS THAN 300 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE I HOPE I DO NOT REGRET THIS DECISION.

7/31/2019, I DROVE MY TRUCK TO A TOYOTA DEALER SHOP AFTER I NOTICED THE REAR OF MY TRUCK TILTING DOWN WHEN LOADING. PER TOYOTA DEALER INSPECTION, ITS FRAME 3/4 WAY RUSTED THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES AND VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AND TOYOTA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FRAME EXPIRED ON JANUARY 2, 2017. REPLACING THE FRAME WOULD COST $24,000, OR THE TRUCK IS JUST A PIECE OF JUNK. ON THE SAME DAY 1:20PM, I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, 800-331-4331, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, AS I DIDN'T BRING IT IN BEFORE THE WARRANTY ON TRUCK FRAME EXPIRED. 7/22/2011, THE TRUCK HAD A FRAME RECALL IN RESPONSE TO EXCESSIVE RUST AND PERFORMED CORROSION TREATMENT PER TOYOTA GUIDELINE (NOT REPLACEMENT OF FRAME). 2/11/2013, THE TRUCK WAS IN TOYOTA SHOP FOR INSPECTION AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY WORDS REGARDING THE FRAME. MY TRUCK IS IN GREAT SHAPE, INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, OTHER THAN THE RUST FRAME, WITH ONLY 102,000 MILES. I LIKE THE TRUCK, TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT, AND INTENT TO DRIVE FOR A FEW MORE YEARS. BUT I NEVER THOUGHT THE FRAME WOULD BE AN ISSUE EVEN AFTER HAVING A FRAME RECALL WORK DONE. I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD STILL TAKE CARE OF MY TRUCK FRAME, AS IT HAS GONE BAD DUE TO THE FACT THAT (1) TOYOTA DIDN'T BUILD IT WITH GOOD QUALITY PARTS TO START WITH, (2) TOYOTA DEALER DIDN'T PERFORM A GOOD QUALITY RECALL - JUST PATCH/PAINTED WHICH DIDN'T PREVENT FROM FURTHER RUSTING, AND (3) THIS BAD RUST MUST HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE THE 15-YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED; I JUST OVER-TRUSTED TOYOTA AND OVER-LOOKED THE FRAME... I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL FRAME BODY SHOPS. THEY ARE ALL AWARE OF THE TOYOTA TACOMA FRAME PROBLEMS AND THINK THE FRAME HAD BEEN RUSTING A LONG TIME AGO, WHILE THE TRUCK LOOKS/RUNS GREAT. REPLACEMENT OF THE FRAME IS THE ONLY YET COSTLY OPTION TO SAVE THE TRUCK. I BELIEVE THERE MUST BE MANY TACOMA OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME RESULTED FROM BAD-QUALITY-BUILT TRUCK FRAMES.

HAD AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL, SHOWED UP TO DO THE RECALL ON THE DRIVE, SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY CAN'T DO THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. WHY CALL AND EMAIL ABOUT THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE TO HAVE ME DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD NO. WASTE OF TIME. THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IS "SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN K0B (REMEDY NOTICE) - CERTAIN 2018 ' 2019 MODEL YEAR TACOMA AND TUNDRA - MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR". I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE COME TO A STOP AND HAD THE BRAKE LIGHT ON IN THE MORNING WITH MORNING DEW, HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS.
