FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH AN OPEN RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. THE SAFETY RISK IS THAT THE VEHICLE MAY STALL AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS RECALL CAME OUT IN JANUARY 13, 2020, BUT THERE STILL ISN'T A REMEDY TO THE ISSUE. MY DAILY COMMUTE IS ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES ONE WAY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY TOYOTA TACOMA AS THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER. IT IS NOW APRIL 1, 2020 AND TOYOTA HAS YET TO RELEASE ANY FIX OR REMEDY TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY RECALL. HOW LONG DOES TOYOTA HAVE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE AND WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AT THIS POINT WITH THE VEHICLE?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA OFFERING ME $100 BECAUSE THEY 'ACCIDENTALLY' MISREPRESENTED THE SAFETY RATINGS OF MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE LETTER STATES THAT THE RATINGS WHICH WERE 4 AND 5 STARS ON THE WINDOW STICKER FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION HAVE BASICALLY BEEN ALL CHANGED TO NOT RATED. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE ONE OF THE REASONS I CHOSE THE VEHICLE WAS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY RATING BY YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. NOW THERE ARE NO RATINGS OTHER THAN ROLLOVER WHICH IS RATED AT 4 STARS. I'VE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE WINDOW STICKER WITH VIN NUMBER BLOCK AS REQUESTED AS WELL AS THE PORTION OF THE LETTER THEY SENT. I CAN PROVIDE COPIES OF BOTH UPON REQUEST.. I'M SURE YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND A CALL TO TOYOTA WAS UNEVENTFUL AS THEY TRIED TO OFFER ME $100 TO OVERLOOK THIS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE IN THIS MATTER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS AS IF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS CUTTING THROTTLE INPUT FOR 1-2 SECONDS. THIS OCCURS IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. SPECIFICALLY, IF ACCELERATING TO 10-15 MILES PER HOUR, THEN STOPPING, THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THE TRUCK SUFFERS AN ENGINE STALL. THE TRACTION CONTROL DASHBOARD INDICATOR DOES NOT LIGHT UP DURING THIS OCCURRENCE; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE PERFORMS VERY SIMILAR TO INSTANCES WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL DOES OPERATE. THE STALL ALSO OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN INTO DRIVEWAYS, ETC. THERE IS NO REQUIRED INTERVENTION TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE; IT SIMPLY LASTS 1-2 SECONDS, THEN OPERATES AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS (BOTH TOYOTA). NEITHER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY ERROR CODES AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT REQUIRED SERVICE. THIS EVENT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST 30 DAYS (DECEMBER 2019-JANUARY 2020).

SERVICE BRAKES
THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) ENGAGES WHEN ROAD SURFACES ARE SNOWY OR SLICK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I CANNOT STOP THE VEHICLE WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE. THE ABS TAKES OVER AND THE CAR COASTS INDEFINITELY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN 40 YEARS OF DRIVING, AND HAVE NOW HAD THREE NEAR MISSES OVER THE LAST TWO WINTERS DUE TO THE ABS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2018 TACOMA HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, THEN THE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING AND ENGINE RUNS ROUGH. WHEN DRIVING, VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGINS FLASHING. WHEN IDLING, ENGINE RUNS WITH WITH A MISS, AND WHEN DRIVING, AT LOWER SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AS IF ITS LOSING POWER.

ENGINE
WHEN SLOWING DOWN BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, AFTER THE VEHICLE COMES TO A CRAWL OR STOP AND THEN I ACCELERATE TO TURN LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE HESITATES FOR 1 TO 2 SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING. I TOOK MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA TO MY DEALER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A RE-SET OR UPGRADE TO THE COMPUTER HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION OF THIS ISSUE AT HTTPS://WWW.TACOMAWORLD.COM/THREADS/3RD-GEN-STALLING-IN-INTERSECTION-UPDATE.459540/.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE GONE OUT TO MY TACOMA THAT I CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING ON IT'S OWN. I HEARD IT RUNNING ONE EVENING, WHILE NO KEYS WERE INSERTED AND THE TRUCK WAS LOCKED UP. THE TRUCK RUNS ROUGH MOST OF THE TIME AND I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING AND NOT WANTING TO START BACK UP AGAIN. IT WILL TAKE 3 TO 4 TIMES TURNING THE TRUCK OVER BEFORE IT WILL RELUCTANTLY WILL START UP. ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE AND THE DIFFERENTIAL BUTTON WHEN PUSHED ON DOES NOT ENGAGE THE DIFFERENTIAL. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE STARTED AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING WHEN NO ONE INSIDE IT HAS JUST THE MONTH BEEN NOTICED AS WELL AS THE BUTTONS. THE STALLING STARTED TO BE NOTICED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND I AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO IT BEING NOT BROKE IN OR ME NOT GIVING IT ENOUGH GAS, BUT IT IS ALMOST EVERY TIME NOW WHEN I BACK UP OR GO FORWARD IT CAN STALL.

POWER TRAIN
MY TRANSMISSION ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. IT DOESN'T SHIFT WHEN IT SHOULD OR IT DOWNSHIFTS WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. WHEN I AM USING CRUISE CONTROL IT'S STAYS IN LOW GEARS WAY TO LONG AND REEVES THE ENGINE VERY HIGH. ONCE I TAKE IT OFF CRUISE CONTROL IT GETS BETTER BUT STILL ISN'T RIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2018.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING UNDER VARIOUS SPEEDS THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY JOLT FORWARD. A STOP CONTROL MALFUNCTION WARNING APPEARS, THE TRACTION CONTROL, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. THE TRUCK WILL IMMEDIATELY ENTER LIMP MODE WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE TRUCK TO SHIFT ABOVE 3/4TH GEAR. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED 8 TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PURCHASED AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE EXHIBITS A STUMBLING CONDITION AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN APPLYING HEAVY THROTTLE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR SLOW VEHICLE SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING UNDER MODERATE THROTTLE AT APPROX. 45-60MPH THE VEHICLES ENGINE FEELS AS IF IT IS MISFIRING AND NOT RUNNING ON ALL CYLINDERS WITH A HEAVY DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN THE THROTTLE IS APPLIED TO INCREASE VEHICLE SPEED. ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP WITH MULTIPLE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND ALSO WITH TOYOTA CORP CUSTOMER SERVICE. THERE IS A SOFTWARE FLASH TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO OFFER IT TO CUSTOMER WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BECAUSE THEIR TSB'S DO NOT LIST THAT MANUAL TRANS. THERE IS A 145 PAGE FORUM THREAD REGARDING THIS ISSUE WHERE CUSTOMERS ARE RESORTING TO FLASHING THEIR TRUCKS ON THEIR OWN TO AVOID THE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION THESE TRUCKS ARE EXHIBITING. HERE IS A LINK TO THE THREAD: HTTPS://WWW.TACOMAWORLD.COM/THREADS/SOFTWARE-UPDATE-FOR-THE-MANUAL.562550/ TSB 1 LISTING CONDITION: HTTPS://TOYOTATALK.COM/WP-CONTENT/UPLOADS/2018/07/TACOMA-T-SB-0062-18.PDF TSB 2 LISTING CONDITION: HTTPS://TOYOTATALK.COM/WP-CONTENT/UPLOADS/2018/07/TACOMA-T-SB-0058-18.PDF

I HAVE OWNED MY TOYOTA TACOMA FOR 18 MONTHS AND MY RADIO HAS HAD PROBLEMS EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT. TOYOTA SUPPOSEDLY HAS RAN TESTS ON IT EVERY TIME I BROUGHT IT IN AT 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS. IT STILL RANDOMLY CUTS OFF AND TAKES FOREVER TO COME BACK ON. IT ALSO WILL END A CALL WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE OR DISCONNECT MY PHONE WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE AND WON'T CONNECT BACK. TODAY I TOOK IT UP THERE AND I JUST HIT 37,000 MILES TODAY AND NOW THEY WANT TO TELL ME I NEED A NEW RADIO BUT IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY AFTER I HIT 37,000 MILES SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. IT IS NOW BEING TAKEN UP WITH TOYOTA SINCE I HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT IT SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK.
