ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DESIGN DEFECT RESULTING IN INABILITY TO OPEN HOOD. BATTERY FAILED (SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY) BUT COULD NOT OPEN HOOD TO JUMP START. TOW OPERATOR COULD NOT OPEN HOOD EITHER, SO VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. PER DEALER EMPLOYEE, DESIGN DEFECT RESULTS IN HOOD BUMPERS EASILY GOING OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, PREVENTING ABILITY TO OPEN HOOD. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IN A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT WHEN FUEL IS OR MAY BE LEAKING, THE BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED TO PREVENT A FIRE, ESPECIALLY WHEN OCCUPANTS ARE STUCK IN WRECKAGE PENDING EMS ARRIVAL. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME, LIKELY SAVING LIVES AND CERTAINLY PREVENTING CATASTROPHIC BURNS. THE BUMPER IS CLEARLY DESIGNED THIS WAY AS A COST-SAVINGS MEASURE, SO THAT THE BUMPER CAN BE USED FOR VARIOUS MODELS AND MAKES. THE BUMPER'S DESIGN HAS ALMOST UNLIMITED ADJUSTMENT, AND EASILY COMES OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. THIS DEFECT CAN BE EASILY CORRECTED BY SECURING THESE BUMPERS WITH AN ADHESIVE OR OTHER MEANS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP ON MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA WAS IDENTIFIED IN EARLY 2020. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 2020 AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE CAN BE SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME I CONTINUE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR STALL OR POSSIBLE CRASH IF THE ENGINE QUITS.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. AS I TURNED THE WHEEL AS IT WAS IN REVERSE THE CAR BEGAN TO ACT WEIRD AND THE BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO WORK. I PUMPED THE BRAKES 3 TIMES, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AND THE CAR PARKED BEHIND ME WAS HIT. I WAS GOING SLOW WHEN I REVERSED, HOWEVER MY WHOLE BUMPER SNAPPED OFF AND MY TAILLIGHT SHATTERED. THE TRUCK SEEMED TO HAVE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING USED....THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK JUST FINE AFTER, HOWEVER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WEREN'T ANY CODES INDICATING A LOSS OF BRAKES. THERE WAS NO FLUID OR LEAKAGE ON THE COMPARTMENT EITHER. EVERYTHING WAS FINE I WAS TOLD, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ADD UP FOR ME. THIS TRUCK WAS SECOND-HAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP, SO I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS PART OF THE TRUCKS THAT HAD A RECALL ON BRAKES. THE CURRENT RECALL ON IT HAD TO DO WITH THE PUMP WHICH THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR.

VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING. IS THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP. THAT NEEDS REPLACING. I GET WARNING LIGHTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. I ALSO GET A LOW FUEL PRESSURE LIGHT THAT ALSO GOES ON. I'VE GOTTEN THE RECALL NOTICE A YEAR AGO. AND EVERY TIME I GO TO TOYOTA FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY SAY THAT THERE'S NO FIX YET FOR THE PROBLEM. ITS BEEN A YEAR ALREADY. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR . FOR ME TO STALL WHILE AM DRIVING AND KILL SOMEONE OR ME. UNACCEPTABLE , AM SICK AND TIRED OF TALKING TO THE DEALER. THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO ATTENTION OF FIXING THIS DANGEROUS RECALL

POWER TRAIN
IN AUGUST 2018, I PURCHASED NEW, A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA SR5, 4 DOOR, 2 WHEEL DRIVE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS/DELAYS/STAGGERS AT SPEEDS OF MID-30'S, MID-40'S, AND AROUND 65 MPH. THIS STARTED AROUND 8000 MILES. OCCURS WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR 8 ASSESSMENTS OR REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE. RECENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT CHANGE GEARS UNTIL 4000 RPMS WHILE I WAS PULLING A SMALL UTILITY TRAILER. WE HAD TO TRAVEL AT LESS THAN SAFE HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNTIL PULLING OVER. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM IS CONSTANT AND REPRODUCIBLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THIS HAPPENS IN SOME, BUT NOT ALL 2018 TACOMAS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN JANUARY 2020 NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS OF CERTAIN VEHICLES THAT MAY HAVE LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ISSUES. IN MAY 2020 I WAS NOTICED MY MAIL THAT MY 2018 TACOMA TRUCK WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE SAFETY RECALL FOR A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM AND THAT A REMEDY WOULD COME SOON. TOYOTA STATES THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 2020. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE VEHICLES WITH FUEL PUMPS. ARE THOSE FUEL PUMPS HAVING NO ISSUES? IF SO, THEN HOW ABOUT REPLACING FUELS PUMPS OF EXISTING CUSTOMER VEHICLES.
