FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE TRUCK NEVER SHOWS MORE THAN 320 MILES OF RANGE(SHOULD SHOW 400+)AND ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY EVEN WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED HARD. THERE IS A NOTICEABLE SHUDDER WHEN THE CAR IS IDLING OR A NEUTRAL. FEELS LIKE DIRTY FUEL INJECTORS BUT IT ONLY HAS 8K.

WHEN IT RAINS WATER COMES INSIDE THE CABIN AROUND BRAKE LIGHT AND SOAKS THE SEATS. I NOTICED THIS WHEN THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY. I THINK IT'S COMING AROUND THE BRAKE LIGHTS GASKET THE WHOLE BACK IF WET ON THE DRIVER SIDE LOOKS LIKE WATER IS COMING IN FROM THE BRAKE LIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE HEADLINER. I'VE ALSO SEEN OTHER VIEWS OR REPORTS ON THIS INCIDENT

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CERTAIN TOYOTA'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO ADDMINE TO THAT LIST BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES HESITATES FROM A STOP POSITION TO A GO POSITION. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE RECALL HAS BEEN TO THE CARS AT HIGH SPEEDS, WELL MINE IS DIFFERENT, BUT DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, BUT WILL DIE AND PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR IS NESSECARY TO GET INTO FLOW OF TRAFFIC OR TO AVOID BEING HIT IN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. PLEASE ADD MY TRUCK INTO THIS CATEGORY. THANKS

RE: DEFECTIVE FRAME ON 2004 TOYOTA TACOMA EXTEND CAB DEAR SIR OR MADAM: I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU FOR ASSISTANCE REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE FRAME ON MY 2004 TOYOTA TACOMA EXTENDED CAB. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN 2012 FROM A PRIVATE OWNER. I DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME, NOR DID THE PREVIOUS OWNER ADVISE ME THAT HE RECEIVED A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL ON THE TRUCK FROM TOYOTA IN 2010 REGARDING A CRACKED FRAME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TREATED DURING MANUFACTURING TO PROHIBIT RUST CORROSION. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED LETTER.

HORN WILL NOT WORK WITH THE STEERING WHEEL CENTERED. IF YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL 90% TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT THE HORN HAS WORKED SOMETIMES. TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER TACOMAS BUT NOT FOR THE 2012. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT ITS MOST LIKELY THE CLOCK SPRING.

I BROUGHT MY 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA FOR AN INSPECTION IN JANUARY 2020 AND DISCOVERED THE FRAME WAS ROTTED AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED EMPIRE TOYOTA SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAMPAIGN TO FIX THIS ISSUE EXPIRED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS CAMPAIGN NOR WAS MY HUSBAND WHO WAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER TACOMA OWNERS ARE IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX THAT I CANNOT AFFORD. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND MAKE THIS A RECALL TO BE FIXED REGARDLESS OF TIMEFRAME.

POWER TRAIN
WITH THE TRUCK WARMED UP: PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO ENTER TRAFFIC THE TRUCK JUST SAT THERE AND DID NOT MOVE THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THE ONLY WAY THE TRUCK WOULD MOVE WAS TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL SLOW AND ENTER THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AT REDUCED SPEED. WITH THE TRUCK WARMED UP: PUTTING THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL THE TRUCK DID NOTHING. TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL WHILE STILL IN REVERSE THE TRUCK LUNGED BACKWARDS. I HAD TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE TRUCK LUNGED BACKWARDS IN REVERSE TWICE WHILE GIVING IT GAS. WITH THE TRUCK WARMED UP: STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND LUNGED FORWARD I HAD TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE IT WAS MOVING SO FAST AND I WAS NOT PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL.

SERVICE BRAKES
I TOOK MY TOYOTA (WHICH IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION) THROUGH A CAR WASH PARKED IT AT HOME DIRECTLY AFTER. WENT TO DRIVE IT 24 HOURS LATER AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS HAD HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE THAT I WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE BRAKE MYSELF BY MANUAL ROCKING OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE USE OF 1ST GEAR AND REVERSE. I JUST HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED FOR THE SECOND TIME AFTER ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK IT WITHOUT DEALERSHIP HELP. IT UNLOCKED SOMEWHAT VIA THE METHOD I HAVE USED BEFORE. IT IS NOW DRIVING LIKE THE BRAKE IS STILL TRYING TO ENGAGE EVEN THOUGH THE HANDBRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THERE IS AN ISSUE ON DRIVING AMBER SIGNAL LIGHTS LOCATED ON FRONT OF VEHICLE. BULBS ARE TOO HOT, AND HAVE MELTED AND CRACKED THE LENSE COVER ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY. IT IS HAMPERING LIGHT OUT PUT, AND COULD FORM A HOLE IN THE FUTURE WHICH WILL PROVIDE A HIGH BEAM OF LIGHT TO ON COMING TRAFFIC. ALSO, IT COULD IGNITE DUE TO HEAT AND PLASTIC MELTING. REPORTS OF THIS OCCURING ON TOYOTA VEHICLES HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS WITH NO RESOLVE. MIND YOU, THIS IS A ENGINEER OR MANUFACTURING MISHAP AND ERROR AS THEY FAILED TO CONSIDER AT THE MOMENT OF DESIGNING /MANUFACTURING, AND NOW THE RESULTS ARE MORE THAN EVIDENT. OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES ARE NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE WHICH MEANS THAT SOMEONE FIGURED OUT A RESOLVE ON THEIR FUTURE PRODUCTION IN ORDER TO AVOID BAD PUBLICITY. IT IS FAIR TO SAY, THAT TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE SUCH A DEFECT, OR REIMBURSE ITS CUSTOMERS WHO DECIDE TO REPLACE THEM DUE TO SUCH A DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THE VALIDITY OF THIS MANNER!
