FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRUCK IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN TOYOTA SERVICE LOT FOR NEXT 2 MONTHS DUE TO FUEL PUMP RECALL. TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AND WILL DIE ANYWHERE RANDOMLY THEY HAVE NO FIX UNTIL END OF SEPTEMBER 2020 WHEN PARTS COME IN. WISH THEY WOULD BUY IT BACK, SO THAT I CAN GO BUY A DEPENDABLE TRUCK INSTEAD OF SENDING LOAN PAYMENTS TO A TRUCK THAT'S NOT IN MY POSSESSION FOR OVER 2 MONTHS

POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 10/19/19. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING: IN THE DRIVE MODE, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DOWN-SHIFT PROPERLY (A LAG) TO LOWER GEARS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM HIGHER SPEEDS(50-60 MPH) TO LOWER SPEEDS (30-40 MPH). IT STAYS IN 5TH OR 6TH GEAR TOO LONG, CAUSING THE TRUCK/TRANSMISSION TO "LUG" DOWN WITH SOME ENGINE "MISSING" BEFORE IT FINALLY DOWNSHIFTS AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE TO DRIVE IN THE SPORT MODE AND MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS REGULARLY TO CIRCUMVENT THIS PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS ARE NOT SET CORRECTLY, AND/OR THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER STAYS ENGAGED/LOCKED IN TOO LONG AT HIGHER GEARS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO LOWER SPEEDS. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO TRANSMISSION BEARING FAILURES AND SAFETY PROBLEMS IF THE TRANSMISSION-ENGINE STARTS TO STALL/CUT OUT. TOYOTA CORPORATE HAS BEEN NON-RESPONSIVE TO MY COMPLAINT SUBMITTED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE ENGINE MAY RUN ROUGH. THIS MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL, AND THE VEHICLE MAY BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE TENDS TO STALL AFTER TAKE OFF (4 CYLINDER) I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE (NO OPEN RECALL) AND SERVICE TECH/MECHANIC STATED THAT'S HOW THE 4 CYLINDER IS SUPPOSE TO DRIVE. (NOT TRUE) I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM DURING TAKE OFF AT STOP LIGHTS, INABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE GOING UP SLIGHT HILLS (EVEN AFTER BEING AT 50 MPH OR OVER) THE TRUCK STILL WON'T ACCELERATE (LIKE IT'S STUCK IN A GEAR) HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GAS LEVEL (FULL, HALF, QUARTER) MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 3,300 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW ALMOST A YEAR AGO.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN MARCH RECEIVED THE NHTSA RECALL NO. 20V-012 NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR MY 2019 TACOMA. ON JANUARY 13, 2020, TOYOTA SUBMITTED A SAFETY RECALL REPORT (THE 'RECALL REPORT') TO NHTSA VOLUNTARILY RECALLING NEARLY 700,000 TOYOTA AND LEXUS VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN AUGUST 1, 2018 THROUGH JANUARY 31, 2019 WITH DEFECTIVE LOW PRESSURE DENSO FUEL PUMPS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THE "REMEDY" WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2020. THIS MEANS MY TRUCK COULD FAIL FOR A FULL SIX MONTHS BETWEEN THE TIME OF THE NOTIFICATION AND THE "REMEDY" AND A FULL 9 MONTHS FROM THE FILING DATE. MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE COULD FAIL. THE DENSO LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS ALSO LISTED IN A SIMILAR RECALL FOR SUBARU. WHY ARE THESE COMPANIES GIVEN SO MUCH TIME TO REMEDY A KNOWN MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM WHILE THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL ON THE ROAD? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

SERVICE BRAKES
TWO DAYS AGO I FELT SLIGHTLY SOFTER BRAKE PEDAL ON NORMAL DRIVING. YESTERDAY, 6/25/20, I WAS TRAVELING IN A 60 MPH SPEED ZONE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT. LIGHT TURNED YELLOW AND I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW AND STOP. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT VERY SOFT AND COULD BE PUSHED ALMOST TO FLOOR WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING EFFECT. STOPPED ABOUT TWO FEET INTO THE INTERSECTION. CONTINUED TRIP WITH CAUTION AND SOFT AND ABNORMAL BRAKING CAPABILITY. CALLING TOYOTA TODAY. *TR

BLUETOOTH HANDSFREE DOESN'T WORK WITH TRUCK AND IPHONE. TALKING TO TACOMA, THEY SAID THAT THEIR SYSTEM CANT KEEP UP WITH APPLY AND THEIR TECHNOLOGY. THIS DOESN'T WORK FOR BEING HANDSFREE ON THE ROAD WHICH IS WHAT TOYOTA ADVERTISES AND IS THE LAW. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN YOU WOULD STOP AT A RED. LIGHT AND APPLY THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WOULD SLOWLY EASE OFF LIKE IT HAD AIR IN THE BRAKE LINE.THIS WENT ON FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS.I HAD A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I GOT TO THE OFFICE AND WAS PULLING IN THE PARKING SPACE I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR SO I PRESSED THE SECOND TIME AND THE SAME THING I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TRY THE THIRD TIME BECAUSE I HIT THE CONCRETE WALL AND DID APPROXIMATELY $5200 DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE.THE ENGINE HAS A NOISE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LIFTER MAKING A NOISE THAT CAN BE HEARD OVER THE ENGINE RUNNING.THE BRAKE PROBLEM I BELIEVE HAS TO DO WITH THE BOOSTER. *TR
