SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
CRUISE CONTROL SLAMS ON BRAKES, WHEN IN OPPOSING LANE OF ANOTHER CAR. ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE ROAD, ON THE INTERSTATE AT, 70 MILES AN HOUR, THEN THE CRUISE CONTROL, FLOORS THE THROTTLE TO AROUND, 5,000 RPM'S. THEN THE DRIVESHAFT HAS VIBRATION, AROUND 44 - 45MILES AN HOUR, ALSO VIBRATES IN CERTAIN RPM RANGES. WHICH FRANKLIN TOYOTA, GLADLY TOLD ME, IT'S JUST A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRUCK. WHEN I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT, ANOTHER THING TRUCK SOMETIMES GETS STUCK IN CERTAIN RPM RANGES, LIKE 3,000 RPMS, AT 55 MILES AN HOUR, THEN WHEN YOU GO UP A HILL, IT FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING ONLY HAVE 1,800 MILES ON IT, THIS TRUCK SUCKS TERRIBLY, OH AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, GAS DEVELOPED, A RATTLE AFTER ABOUT 1600 MILES, NOT TOO HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE, FEEL LIKE I GOT RIPPED OFF. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA. AND THE BEST PART I'M PAYING 35,000 $ OVER A 6 YEAR PERIOD FOR THIS PIECE OF JUNK. TOYOTA IT SEEMS MAKES NOTHING BUT CLUNKERS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TODAY LEAVING WORK MY TRUCK WENT INTO COMPLETE LIMP MODE. TURNED AROUND AND THANKFULLY I WORK AT A DEALERSHIP NOT A TOYOTA ONE THOUGH. I GOT THE CODES THAT POPPED UP CHECKED AND IT WAS THE CODES FOR THE AIR INJECTION PUMP AND FLAPS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THIS IS COMMON IN THE MY TRUCK AND I AM RIGHT OUTSIDE MY COVERAGE FOR IT. IT ENDS AT 150,000 AND I HAVE 163. I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK BACK AND FORTH ON THE INTERSTATE AND IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHY WOULD Y'ALL PUT A CUTOFF ON THE PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL. I BOUGHT MY TRUCK 2ND HAND SO I HAD NO IDEA OF THIS PROBLEM.

SUSPENSION
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE BACK END CREAKS LOUDLY OVER THE REAR TIRES. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS AS THE TRUCK BOUNCES OVER THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND I AM IN THE BED OR ON THE TAILGATE, THE TRUCK BOUNCES EASILY AND CREAKS LOUDLY OVER THE REAR TIRES. I HAD NEW LEAF SPRINGS INSTALLED IN JULY 2018 BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE. NOW, LESS THAN A YEAR LATER THE SAME ISSUE PERSISTS. THE SOUND IS METAL IS RUBBING ON METAL, AND I SUSPECT ANOTHER PART OF THIS VEHICLE'S SUSPENSION IS BAD.
