POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2009 TOYOTA TACOMA GAS PEDAL STUCK ON FREEWAY ON OUR 16 YEAR OLD SON. WE HAD TAUGHT HIM FROM SEEING TOYOTA ON THE NEWS TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHICH HE DID SUCCESSFULLY. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THOUSAND OAKS TOYOTA, THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND ASKED FOR MY SON TO "DRIVE IT WITH A TECHNICIAN AND TRY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM". WE SOLD IT BACK TO THEM, LOST $8500 DOLLARS, THE DEALER WAS UNHELPFUL AND OTHER IMHO RUDE AND TOYOTA CORPORATE 800 NUMBER DIDN'T ANSWER AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS AND 3 HOURS ON THE PHONE. WE ARE EXTREMELY UPSET ABOUT THIS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2000 TACOMA AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, I NOTICED IT PICKING UP SPEED ON AN UPHILL ROAD. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR, BUT TRUCK CONTINUED TO PICK UP SPEED TO OVER 60 MPH. I THEN BRAKED, BUT IT DID NOT HELP. I THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND DROVE TRUCK INTO AN EMPTY DIRT LOT, APPLYING ALSO THE PARKING BRAKE AND BROUGHT TRUCK TO A STOP. *TR

BRAKING IS TOO SLOW. WHEN STOPPING UNDER DRY CONDITIONS THIS VEHICLE TAKES TOO LONG TO STOP. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. DEALER STATED THAT WAS 'NORMAL' FOR ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMS. DEALER WOULD NOT TAKE ANY ACTION. TO IMPROVE BRAKING ABS BRAKES WERE DISABLED BY REMOVING FUSE. EVEN WITH THIS BRAKING TO A STOP TAKES LONGER THAN WITH OTHER VEHICLES UNDER SAME CONDITIONS. THIS PROBLEM IS ON-GOING AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL REAR-END COLLISIONS. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA MOTOR CO. ALONG WITH 814,000 OTHER OWNERS OF TOYOTA TACOMA'S BUILT BETWEEN 1995-2000 STATING THAT OUR FRAME RUST WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR 15 YEARS FROM DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE AS A RESULT OF A FRAME RUST BECAUSE A PROCESS THAT WAS NOT DONE BY THE FRAME SUPPLIER TO TOYOTA. IF FRAME IS FOUND TO HAVE RUST TOYOTA MOTOR CO. WILL BUYBACK VEHICLE AT 150% OF HIGHEST KBB RETAIL VALUE. TOYOTA EXPECTS TO BUYBACK APPROX. 50% OF VEHICLES STILL ON THE ROAD. MOST OF THESE VEHICLES WILL BE FROM THE CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE US BUT THEY HAVE BOUGHT BACK VEHICLES IN ALL PARTS OF THE NATION INCLUDING CALIFORNIA. THIS CAMPAIGN BEGAN IN MID-2008. SO NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS SOME SURFACE RUST ON THE FRAME BUT NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT THE BUYBACK PROGRAM AT THIS TIME BUT IN THE MEAN TIME WHILE THE FRAME RUSTS INTO THE TOYOTA BUYBACK STANDARDS MY KBB VALUE DECREASES, I DRIVE AROUND A VEHICLE WITH COMPROMISED FRAME INTEGRITY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, AND NO ONE WANTS TO BUY MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAS THIS LATENT PROBLEM NOW WELL ESTABLISHED/DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE MEDIA. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE FRAME, WHICH SHE HAD OBSERVED WAS SLIGHTLY RUSTED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS THOROUGHLY RUSTED AND WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE LOT. THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS REPLACED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR FRAME RUST PERFORATION ON MODEL TRUCKS IN SEVERE COLD CLIMATE AREAS WITH HIGH ROAD SALT USE (NHTSA ITEM NUMBER : 10027968: SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER : TCS-08-018). AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST, THE VEHICLE WAS USING MORE GAS THAN BEFORE AND SHE COULD LITERALLY WATCH THE FUEL GAUGE MOVING CLOSER TO EMPTY AS SHE PROCEEDED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IDLE PROPERLY AND WAS EXHIBITING A "BUCKING" GESTURE AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, A PERSONAL MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE 02 SENSOR WAS HANGING FROM THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXHIBIT THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY STATED THE SENSOR WAS IN THE SAME PLACE AS WHEN SHE FIRST BROUGHT THE VEHICLE. NO FURTHER REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 126,000. UPDATED 4/30/10 *CN THE O2 SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 07/15/10.*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED NEW TOYOTA TACOMA TRD SPORT IN AUG 2009 WITH ZERO MILES. ALL SEEMED OK, OTHER THAN A FEW FRUSTRATING CAB RATTLES HERE AND THERE. HOWEVER, I ALSO NOTICED THAT AS MY TRUCK NEARED MORE MILES (7,000 CURRENT), I NOW HAVE TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL A BIT HARDER, YET WHEN I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE DEALER, THEY STATED ALL WAS NORMAL AND COULD NOT REPLICATE. I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF INSTANCES WHERE I'VE HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PRETTY HARD TO COME TO A STOP OR SLOW DOWN. IT SEEMS I NEED TO RIDE IT A LITTLE HARDER THAN WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY TRUCK. I ALSO WANT TO ADD, THAT BESIDES THE IRRITATING RATTLES (DOOR PANELS/TRAY HOLDER IN CENTER CONSOLE BELOW THE STEERING WHEEL - WHICH WAS REPLACED, BUT STILL MAKE POP SOUNDS HERE AND THERE, THE OTHER SMALLER RATTLES - SOME OF WHICH WERE COMING FROM ILL-FIT WINDOW SEALS WERE NOT REALLY FIXED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEALS AND THE POPPING SOUNDS STOPPED FOR A DAY OR SO THEN RETURNED. I FOUND THE PROBLEM IS THE SEALS TEND TO BE SOMEWHAT IMPROPER FIT. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE TOO LARGE AND CAUSE THE RUBBING. I PERSONALLY CORRECTED THIS BY REMOVING ALL DOOR PANELS ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT SOME OF THE RATTLE SOUNDS I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT MERELY HAD A SMALL PIECE OF FELT ON THE BACKSIDE, WHICH DID NOT COMPLETELY CURE THE PROBLEM. I PURCHASED AN ENTIRE ROLL OF THIS MATERIAL MYSELF AND COATED THE INSIDE OF EACH DOOR PANEL THEN ADDED A SMALL PIECE OF WEATHER STRIPPING TO THE INSIDE OF DOOR PANEL EDGE WHERE IT TOUCHES THE GLASS WINDOW. THIS HELPED CONSIDERABLY IN REDUCING AIR NOISE AND NO MORE RATTLING. MY COMPLAINT IS STILL WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES, NOT ALWAYS, NEEDING TO BE PUSHED HARDER THAN NORMAL TO COME TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN. ON OTHER THING I ADDRESSED WITH THE DEALER WAS THE FACT THAT WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND MAKE TURN, NOT COMPLETE STOP AND GO, MY ENGINE RPM'S DON'T DECELERATE QUICKLY ENOUGH FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO CATCH UP. DEALER STATES THIS IS NORMAL OPERATING RPMS CATCHING DOWN TO SHIFT DOWN OF TRANNY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA. IT HAS UNCOMMANDED ENGINE SURGES. IT IS MOST NOTABLE AT A STOP. ONCE THE VEHICLE STOPS ENGINE RPM REDUCES TO 500 RPMS AND SECONDS LATER IT SURGES TO 800RPM. I NOTICED THIS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR,BUT THOUGHT THAT WAS "NORMAL". IN 2008 IT CAUSED ME TO HAVE A MINOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AND REALIZED IT WAS NOT NORMAL. AT HIGHER RPMS ABOVE 35 MPH THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS IN A HIGH GEAR AS IT QUICKLY REDUCES SPEED WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE PEDAL. AGAIN I THOUGHT THIS NORMAL PRIOR TO THIS CURRENT ROUND OF RECALLS. I WAS AMAZED THE TACOMA'S ARE NOT BEING RECALLED. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE ENGINE COMPUTER. *TR

PERIODICALLY THE VEHICLE WILL ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE I.E. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP AS IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE OR FOUR TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 1/9/10. THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS LIKE WHEN I WAS IN A PARKING LOT BUT THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP TO AVOID A PUPPY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN A SAFE PERIOD OF TIME. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PERSON IN FRONT OF ME I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO AVOID HITTING THEM. IF I CONTINUE TO PRESS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE THE ACCELERATION WILL STOP BUT THE TIME IT TAKES TO STOP IS GREATLY INCREASED. *TR

NOW THAT THE TOYOTA PROBLEMS HAVE RECEIVED SUCH WIDESPREAD COVERAGE, I WANTED TO REPORT WHAT I BELIEVE IS A PROBLEM ON MY WIFE'S 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS, WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, WHEN THERE WAS AN UPGRADE REQUIRING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO INCREASE POWER TO MAINTAIN SPEED, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD SIMPLY START THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING WITHOUT STOPPING AND I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL THE RECALLS AS I SIMPLY DON'T USE IT--JUST THOUGHT IT WAS POORLY DESIGNED COMPARED TO EVERY OTHER ONE I HAVE EVER HAD. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A TOYOTA ON RECALL FOR FLOOR MATS. I DID NOT HAVE THE TOYOTA FLOOR MATS, NOT PROVIDED WHEN PURCHASED. ON 2/12/10 40K MAINTENANCE WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE I EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE ACCELERATE / BRAKE ISSUE THAT TOYOTA WAS HAVING SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I ASKED THE ADVISER IF THE MECHANIC WOULD PLEASE CHECK THE ACCELERATOR & BRAKES WHILE PERFORMING THE MAINTENANCE CHECK, HE STATED HE THAT IT WOULD BE DONE WITH THE INSPECTION. UPON RECEIVING MY TOYOTA FROM THE SERVICE ADVISER, I AGAIN ASKED IF IT HAD BEEN DONE. HE STATED THAT MY TOYOTA WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, I DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEM WITH EITHER THE ACCELERATOR OR BRAKING SYSTEM. ON THE MORNING OF 2/26/10 APPROXIMATELY 10:15 - 10:30 I WAS TAKING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL. I PARKED MY TOYOTA IN A CAR SPACE AND TOOK HER TO CLASS. I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE HOME. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, STARTED THE TRUCK, SHIFTED TO REVERSE AND GENTLE TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AT LEAST 53 FT BACKWARDS INTO A TREE. I TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH THE BRAKES BUT THE DIDN'T WORK. I REMEMBER GLANCING FORWARD FOR A SPLIT SECOND TO MAKE SURE MY FOOT WAS COMPLETELY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND APPLYING ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TURNING BACK AROUND AND THEN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK HIT THE TREE. PER POLICE THERE WAS A 53 FT SKID MARK FROM ONE OF MY TIRES. TIRES WERE STILL SPINNING PER WITNESSES AFTER CAR HIT THE TREE. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK. AT THAT POINT THE FIRE & AMBULANCE ARRIVED AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE POLICE. POLICE REPORT. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT SPEED I WAS TRAVELING. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TACOMA 4X4 5 OR 6 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE GONE OUT INTO THE GARAGE TO FIND THE FUEL PUMP HAS STARTED RUNNING ON ITS OWN. I CAN TAKE THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION WITH NO RESULTS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO TURN THE IGNITION BACK ON AND THEN OFF AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BEFORE THEY WILL INVESTIGATE FURTHER. THIS WOULD ALMOST BE IMPOSSIBLE TO BE AT THE DEALER WHEN ITS PARKED. *TR

DEALER FAILS TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE COMPLAINS IN A ROAD TEST AND INSIST THERE ARE NO RECALLS. THE VEHICLE RACES AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP AT TIMES. THEY ADJUSTED THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE PROBLEM IS WORSE NOW. I HAVE ALMOST GONE THROUGH A BUILDING BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. 4 OTHERS HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK AND COMPLAIN OF THE SAME DIFFICULTY. *TR
