ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I WAS STATIONARY WITH THE GEAR SHIFT IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BREAK,WHEN THE RPM'S SUDDENLY REVEL UP TO OVER 5000 RPM AND THE TRUCK TRYING TO LURCH FORWARD. I HAD TO RAM THE GEAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO GET THE RPM'S TO DROP DOWN. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED AT THE BANK PARKING LOT. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO LET A WOMAN CROSS IN FRONT OF ME TO HER CAR. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE ENGINE REVS WAY UP WITH ME TRYING TO HOLD THE TRUCK BACK AS IT WAS LURCHING FORWARD. SHE THOUGHT I WAS TRYING TO RUN OVER HER. I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS MORE SCARED, HER OR ME. I JAMMED IT INTO NEUTRAL AND AFTER A FEW MORE SECONDS THE REVS DROPPED DOWN TO IDLE AGAIN. I'M TAKING IT TO MODESTO TOYOTA TOMORROW TO GET IT LOOKED AT ON AUGUST THE 6TH. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 63000 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED WERE IN MY DRIVEWAY AND AT MY STORAGE UNIT. BOTH TIMES I WAS STATIONARY AS WELL, TRUCK IN DRIVE, FOOT ON BREAK. VERY DANGEROUS!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS WHEN OPERATING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. HAS STALLED OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IN PARKING LOTS. HAS BROKEN DOWN AND REGISTERED FUEL TROUBLE CODES FOUR TIMES IN LESS THAN 90 DAYS. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS IT HAS REGISTERED THE P08700 AND P0017100 CODES FOR LOW FUEL PRESSURE. DEALER HAS REPLACED HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS AND PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION BECAUSE THE DRIVER LOSES ALL POWER AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESTART. THE DRIVER HAS TO LOOK FOR A PLACE TO 'DITCH' OR PUSH OUT OF TRAFFIC. IT HAS BLOCKED TRAFFIC DURING STALLING EPISODES, CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE DRIVER?S AND PASSENGER?S SIDE REAR SUBFRAME AND REAR LEAF SPRING WERE FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERLIN CITY TOYOTA OF PORTLAND LOCATED AT 191 RIVERSIDE ST, PORTLAND, ME 04103 (207) 618-6528, AND THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.*DT 8/14/2020 EDIT BY [XXX]: I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT THE TACOMA WAS BROUGHT INTO THE SEASHORE TACOMA DEALERSHIP IN NEW JERSEY BACK IN 2013 FOR A DIFFERENT RECALL AND THE FRAME RECALL WAS NEVER ADDRESSED OR BROUGHT UP TO ME WHILE MY TACOMA WAS THERE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT IN 2016 WHILE I WAS STATIONED IN ALASKA, I RECEIVED A POST CARD ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I PROMPTLY CALLED THE NUMBER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT PERTAIN TO MY TACOMA. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE PUT IT ON THE FERRY TO JUNEAU FOR THE INSPECTION. LASTLY, I HAVE OWNED THIS TACOMA SINCE 2009. IT AS BEEN STATIONED WITH ME FOR 4 YORK IN FL, 4 YORK IN NJ, 4 YORK IN SITES, AK AND 2 YEARS IN ME. IT ALSO PREVIOUSLY LIVED BETWEEN IN KY AND FL PRIOR TO ME. HAD I BEEN ASKED THE RIGHT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THE TACOMA THEN I'M SURE THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME THE TRUCK WAS ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *DT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

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.

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
AS OF JANUARY 13TH, 2020 TOYOTA ISSUED THE FOLLOWING RECALL INFORMATION ABOUT MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA (MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20TB02/NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V012): "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. SAFETY RISK: IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH." I FREQUENTLY CHECKED THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL (BOTH BY CHECKING THE NHTSA SITE AND CALLING MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS) AND AS OF TODAY, JULY 16TH, 2020, MORE THAN HALF A YEAR AFTER THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED, THIS RECALL REMAINS UNADDRESSED AND IS LISTED AS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. GIVEN THE SAFETY RISKS, 6+ MONTHS IS AN INAPPROPRIATELY LONG TIME NOT TO OFFER CONSUMERS A REMEDY WHILE WE ARE STILL DRIVING OUR VEHICLES. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO AVOID DRIVING IT WHILE I AWAIT A SAFETY REMEDY.
