SERVICE BRAKES
FREEWAY TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING. EDGE OF SOLE OF SHOE CAUGHT UNDER BRAKE PEDAL WHEN TRYING TO STOP ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY AND UNNECESSARILY STOPPED COMPLETELY. THE DELAY IN BRAKING WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH INTO REAR OF CAR IN FRONT HAD I NOT SWERVED INTO MEDIAN WHEN FINALLY ABLE TO START BRAKING. SOLE OF MY ATHLETIC SHOE FLARES OUT A LITTLE WHICH MAY BE PART OF THE PROBLEM. SEAT WAS AS FAR BACK AS IT GOES. PERHAPS DISTANCE TO PEDALS IS TOO SHORT. OTHERWISE, BRAKE PEDAL IS ONE-HALF INCH HIGHER THAN ACCELERATOR.

STRUCTURE:BODY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INTERIOR LEAKING WHEN IT RAINS OR WHENEVER VEHICLE GETS WET. A HEALTH HAZARD, SAFETY CONCERN, AND POTENTIAL RISK TO PASSENGERS AS WELL. CAUSE OF PROBLEM IS DEFECTIVE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT SEAL. OF COURSE TOYOTA MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO EASILY REPLACE THE LIGHT OR SEAL AS YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE INTERIOR CEILING TO GET TO BOLTS. SAD I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND IT LEAKS WATER BUT SINCE WARRANTY JUST ENDED, THEY WILL NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT FIXING THIS ISSUE. IF A LAWSUIT RESULTS ABOUT OF THIS COUNT ME IN, HOPEFULLY A RECALL TAKES PLACE SOON BECAUSE DUCT TAPE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH PLUS WHO WANTS TO DRIVE AROUND WITH DUCT TAPE ON THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT.

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

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE WAS A FRAME INSPECTION FOR REPAIR NOTICE FOR MY TACOMA FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT WHEN MY FATHER SOLD IT TO ME. HE DID NOT REALIZE THERE A RECALL BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE ALL THE OTHER SCAMS THAT PREY ON THE ELDERLY. I WAS SUPPOSED RECEIVED OWNERSHIP OF THIS TRUCK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, THEN COVID 19 HIT. I WAS SENT HE FROM WORK AND TOLD I COULDN'T GO FURTHER THAN MY COMMUTING DISTANCE FROM MY GOVERNOR HERE IN MAINE. I FINALLY RECEIVED THE TRUCK ON APRIL BECAUSE MY FATHER LIVES 100 MILES FROM ME. THEN HAD TO WAIT FOR MY TOWN OFFICE TO OPEN IN JUNE TO REGISTER IT. FINALLY BROUGHT IT TO TOYOTA TO GET SOME OTHER RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF ON JUNE AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT I HAVE SEPARATION IN MY FRAME. TOO BAD BECAUSE TOYOTA WAS FIXING AND REPLACING SUCH FRAMES BIT IT EXPIRED THE MIDDLE OF APRIL. I CONTACTED TOYOTA TO SEE IF THE COULD POSSIBLY EXTEND THE PROGRAM BECAUSE OF COVID 19. IT TOOK 3 HOURS ON THE PHONE AND THEY CAME BACK TWO WEEKS LATER SAYING THEY WOULD NOT COVER MY TRUCK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. FIRST OFF TOYOTA JUST ASSUME THAT WHEN A TRUCK HITS 12 YEARS OLD THAT IT'S OK FOR THEIR FRAMES TO FAIL. THEY ALSO DON'T CONSIDER A SHUT DOWN STATE A GOOD ENOUGH REASON TO EXTEND THIS COVERAGE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE VEHICLE TAKES LONG TO STOP EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BRAKE PADS , ROTORS, BRAKE SHOES, WITH NEW COMPONENTS. THE REAR MAKES A THUD SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING OR COMING TO A STOP. THE LEAF SPRINGS ALSO SQUEAK AND I NOTICED AFTER THEY CHANGED MY FRAME THE LEAF SPRINGS WERE NOT CHANGE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON THE LEAF SPRINGS AND IT WAS RUSTING? THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT STARTED TO MAKE THIS LOUD THUD SOUND WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AROUND 5-10 MPH. THERE IS ALSO A RECALL ON THIS, BUT MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THERE ISN'T ONE? WHY DOESN'T THE MAIN BRANCH TALK TO OR UPDATE THE SYSTEM FOR ALL TOYOTA BRANCHES FOR RECALLS? *TR

SUSPENSION
HITACHI SHOCKS CAN'T HANDLE DAMPENING REQUIREMENTS CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOSE CONTACT WITH THE ROADWAY - REDUCING TRACTION, BRAKING ABILITY, AND STABILITY. MY 10 YEAR OLD SON CAN COLLAPSE THE SHOCK WITH 1 HAND - NEVER MIND A VEHICLE THAT WEIGHS 4,000+ LBS. IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF LOAD - WHEN HITTING A BUMP THE TRUCK BOUNCES DOWN THE ROAD - WHERE YOU MUST BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL TO KEEP THE TRUCK TRACKING STRAIGHT. THIS IS MOST SEVERE ON THE HIGHWAY. NONE OF THE VEHICLES WE HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST 30 YEARS EXHIBITED THIS SEVERE SUSPENSION SHORT FALL. THE ONLY TIME YOU MAY EXPERIENCE THIS IS AFTER SOMETHING IN THE SUSPENSION HAS FAILED OR WORN OUT. NOT ON A VEHICLE WITH UNDER 30K MILES ON IT. *TR

ENGINE
2018 TACOMA TRD SPORT MANUAL TRANSMISSION - THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY 1 - ENGINE HESITATION IN 1ST AND MOST NOTICEABLE IN SECOND GEAR. THE TRUCK HESITATES AND SURGES DURING LIGHT AND MODERATE ACCELERATION - FEELING LIKE AN EXTREME LEAN RUNNING CONDITION. THIS PUTS THE DRIVER AND OTHER PEOPLE AROUND YOU AT RISK WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR HIGHWAY. IF YOU SHIFT A TOUCH EARLY INTO SECOND GEAR THE TRUCK OCCASIONALLY BOG ( STARVE FOR FUEL )HEAVILY - WHERE YOU MUST EITHER BE PATIENT, SLIP THE CLUTCH PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR HARDER, OR DOWNSHIFT. THE HESITATION IS THERE ALL THE TIME AND MORE NOTICEABLE WITH ANY LOAD UP ANY INCLINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE DRIVER MUST BE PREPARED AT ALL TIMES TO DOWN SHIFT, SLIP THE CLUTCH, AND MUST KNOW ABOUT THE HESITATION. MY CO-WORKERS AND FRIENDS HAVE DRIVEN WITH ME AND CAN'T BELIEVE TOYOTA HASN'T FIXED IT YET. MY SON CAME HOME FROM DRIVING IT - SAYING ITS HESITATING SEVERELY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY 1 AND GETTING WORSE. *TR

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME AND THE WARNING TO BRAKE ALONG WITH THE ASSOCIATED BEEPING AND RED BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD APPEARED. THIS WENT AWAY AFTER ABOUT 2 SECONDS. IT WAS LIKE THE VEHICLE SENSED A CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT I WAS GOING TO HIT BUT THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME WHATSOEVER. THE BRAKES NEVER ENGAGED BUT THE WARNING CAUSED ME TO JUMP. IF I WAS IN A CONGESTED AREA OR ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OR SWERVE INTO SOMEONE/SOMETHING. *TR

I HAD A RUSTY FRAME RECALL WHICH I TOOK IN ON FEB. 2018 AND HAD THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED THIS BY RUSTPROOFING. SINCE THEN ALL THE NEW RUSTPROOFING APPLIED FOR THIS FIX HAS DETERIORATED. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 10,000 MILES SINCE THAT TIME AND IS HOUSED IN A GARAGE. THIS RECALL ENDS ON JULY 28TH OF 2020 AND MY DEALER SAYS THE WILL DO NOTHING. BECAUSE NO PERFORATIONS ARE SEEN THEY WILL NOT HELP. I ASSUMED THAT THIS WAS REPAIRED CORRECTLY WHEN IT WAS DONE INITIALLY BUT HAVE FOUND THAT THE JOB DONE WAS MAINLY COSMETIC AND THE MATTER WAS NOT FIXED. I AM NOW ASKING FOR HELP TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE PROPERLY. *TR
