STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
I WAS APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT AT A DOWNWARD ANGLE AND WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I WAS GOING APPROX. 15PMH WHEN IT STARTED AND IT DIDN'T STOP SHAKING UNTIL I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THEM. THEY GOT THE VEHICLE TO REPRODUCE THE VIBRATIONS AND I HAVE PAPERWORK STATING THIS. IT HAS BEEN A FULL YEAR LATER AND THEY HAVEN'T REPAIRED IT YET. THEY CONTINUALLY TELL ME PARTS ARE BEING DESIGNED. JUST WAIT. THAT'S ALL THEY KEEP SAYING. I FOUND OUT THAT THEY MADE A FIX FOR THE V6 MODEL WITHIN 7 MONTHS, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE 4 CYLINDER MODEL TO WARRANT REDESIGNING PARTS. I WAS TOLD THIS BY THE SERVICE TECH AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER DRIVING FOR 2 HOURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65) MPH I EXITED THE HIGHWAY TO A INTERSECTION WITH A RED LIGHT. UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD ON ITS OWN. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP A COLLISION BY PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL . I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE BY ONLY USING THE BRAKES. THE ENGINE OVER REVOLUTIONS BUT CAME BACK TO A IDLE IN JUST A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS IN THE PAST TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I WAS NOT TOWING ANYTHING AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LOADED WITH ANY ADDITIONAL WEIGHT. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. I CONTINUED ON WITH MY TRIP AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS AGAIN AS OF THIS DATE. 02/20/2014 *TR

POWER TRAIN
THERE IS A VIBRATION IN THE ENTIRE DRIVE TERRAIN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE VIBRATION ONLY OCCURS FROM A STOP AND BETWEEN 5-20 MPH. THIS WAS FIRST NOTICED IN MARCH OF 2013 AND THE DEALER (MIDDLE TOWN TOYOTA) AND US CORPORATE TOYOTA WERE MADE AWARE, BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE. AS OF TODAY, THE VIBRATION APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY LOSS OF CONTROL YET OF MECHANICAL FAILURES, BUT WITH THE VIBRATION GETTING WORSE, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE FAILURES START OCCURRING. *TR

MY TACOMA TENDS TO SURGE FORWARD WHEN IT IS STOPPED. I DO NOT THINK IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER BEING ON.I HAD THE A/C OFF THE FIRST TIME. IF SOMEONE ISN'T ON THE BRAKE FIRMLY THEY MAY TAP THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THEM. *TR

STEERING
I OWN 2012 TACOMA SPORT FROM 500MILES ON IT'S HAD A VIBRATION/SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND SOMETIMES THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE CAB. TOYOTA HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH ME A EVEN AFTER SPENDING MONEY OF MY OWN ON RE-BALANCING AND ALIGNMENT AND TRYING TO VIDEO TAPE THEY JUST HAVE EXCUSES AFTER EXCUSES.THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL CALLED ROAD FEEDBACK OR THEY CLAIM THEY CANT SEE THE SHAKE IN THE VIDEOS I HAVE SENT THEM. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT IS TAKING SERIOUSLY BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET HURT OR KILLED, ITS SAD TO THINK THAT IT WOULD COME TO THAT BEFORE TOYOTA DOES SOMETHING AND OWNS UP TO THIS ISSUE EXISTING.I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, WHEN PEOPLE SPEND THERE HARD EARNED MONEY ON A VEHICLE THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE THERE STEERING WHEEL SHAKE AND VIBRATIONS WITH THERE NEW PURCHASE. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY COMPLAINT, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE TRUCK STARTED TO MAKE A RATTLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEN REACHING 15MPH. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO HAVE IT EXAMINED. THEY SAID TO TRY DIFFERENT GAS NOT CHEAP GAS. "I WAS ALREADY USING SHELL GAS" BUT I DID WHAT THEY SAID. STILL MAKING THE NOISE NOW FROM 20-40MPH. TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER NOW THEY TAKE A TEST DRIVE WITH MYSELF TO VERIFY THE NOISE. COMES BACK THAT IT HAS A TAS CASE# THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I CALL TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO FIND OUT THERE IS NO REPAIR AND THEY WILL NOT TOUCH IT TILL IT BECOMES A RECALL. JUST TOOK IT BACK FOR THE THIRD TIME BECAUSE THE RATTLING IS LOUDER AND LONGER. STILL DID NOTHING. THE RATTLING CAN GET SO LOUD THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO FALL OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. *TR
