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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I FOUND A HOLE IN THE FRAME AND WAS ADVISED AS TO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE. I LEARNED THAT A RECALL HAD EXPIRED ONLY 6 MONTHS AGO AND WAS NOT GOING TO BE REPAIRED FROM TOYOTA. $12000 WAS ESTIMATE AND I COMPLAINED THAT I WAS NEVER CONTACTED. I AM THE SECOND OWNER BUT HAD MAINTAINED VEHICLE TO KEEP FOR MANY YEARS. I AM ON SOC SECURITY AND THIS HAS BEEN A HARDSHIP ON ME. I HOPE THERE IS A WAY OF COMPENSATING ME OR HELPING ME AS THE DEALER OFFERED HALF OF BLUE BOOK FOR A TRADE IN. THANK YOU

STRUCTURE, INTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE AS THE ILLUMINATION IS INADEQUATE AND DOESN'T MEET MINIMUM SAFETY STANDARDS FOR A VEHICLE ON COUNTRY ROADS. THE INTERIOR SWITCHES ARE NOT ILLUMINATED AND DURING EVENING OPERATION MAKING SAFE ADJUSTMENTS AN IMPOSSIBILITY. AUTO-DIM OVERRIDES NORMAL SAFE HIGH BEAM OPERATION AS SENSOR IS ACTIVATED FROM ANY ROADSIDE REFLECTIVE SURFACE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE PROBLEM ALMOST MANIFESTED IN SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS. THIS IS A MAJOR LATENT DESIGN AND EQUIPMENT DEFECT AND IS UNSAFE IN NIGHTTIME OPERATION. *JS THE CONSUMER STATED THAT ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN THE LEFT SIDE INDEX WAS MASKED DURING THE DAY TIME. THE VEHICLE DID NOT INCLUDE A TRANSFER CASE SKID PLATE. THE STEERING HAD ISSUES AND WAS NOISY AS IF DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP. *JS *JS

SUSPENSION
I HAVE REPLACED THE LOWER BALL JOINTS FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THREE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND TWICE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. TWICE I WAS IN SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY TWICE I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AND ONCE I WAS TURNING A CORNER. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO HOWEVER I NEVER REAPONDED AT THE TIME. NOW WHEN I LOOK ON THIS WEBSITE IT SAYS THERE WAS NO RECALL SO I AM UNSURE HOW TO PROCEED.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON ENTERING AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE APPLIED BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. AT THAT TIME THE PATH FORWARD OF THE VEHICLE WAS CLEAR. THIS ACTION CAUSED A SAFETY HAZARD BY STALLING THE VEHICLE IN THE INTERSECTION. APPLYING GAS RESULTED IN NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED TO NO AVAIL. THE LAST COMMUNICATION FROM TOYOTA CONCERNING MY COMPLAINT WAS A PHONE CALL FROM A FACTORY REP ADVISING ME THAT I NEEDED TO READ MY OWNERS MANUAL REGARDING THIS ISSUE. AT THIS POINT I AN AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP. NHTSA REF# 247577.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
DRIVING HOME APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY (SPEED LIMIT OF 50MPH) AND NOTICED THE OEM/FACTORY INSTALLED DRIVER HEATED SEAT STOPPED WORKING. PROCEEDED TO SMELL BURNT PLASTIC BUT IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND I CONVINCED MYSELF THAT NOTHING OUT OF THE NORMAL HAD OCCURRED SINCE MY PASSENGER DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED. THE FOLLOWING DAY I DID A BIT OF RESEARCH AND TESTED THE HEATED SEAT WHICH NO LONGER GOT WARM LIKE THE PASSENGER SIDE. UNDERNEATH THE SEAT IS AN "AMPLIFIER" FOR THE HEATED SEAT WHICH LOOKS TO HAVE SHORTED OUT. BOTH THE AMPLIFIER AND THE MALE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAD BURNT/MELTED ON ONE OF THE TERMINALS. THE PLUG LOOKS COMPLETELY RUINED AND I PRESUME THE AMPLIFIED IS NOW BROKEN. ALL OTHER FUSES AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS APPEARED FINE.

AIR BAGS
THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY CONTAINS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE HOUSED IN A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES A FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE (FFC). DUE TO THE SHAPE AND LOCATION OF THE FFC'S RETAINER, THE FFC COULD BECOME DAMAGED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED MY HORN QUIT WORKING AND MY AIRBAG WARNING CAME ON AND I KNOW THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY BUT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

POWER TRAIN
THIS TACOMA SR5 IS BRAND NEW, ABOUT 4700 MILES ON IT SO FAR. NOTICING A LOT OF HESITATION BETWEEN THE 35-60 MPH. AFTER WEEKS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO SAVANNAH TOYOTA, ITS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE VEHICLE HAS SLOW PICK UP AND HARD ACCELERATION FROM A STOP TO POSITION. TOYOTA SAYS IT'S NORMAL, BUT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ATTACHED THE SERVICE ORDER TO THE COMPLAINT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK STRAP RUSTED AND BROKE. NO WARNING. I WAS HEARING A NOISE WHEN I TOOK TAKE OFF AND DRIVING. COULDN'T FIGURED OUT WHAT THAT WAS UNTIL I LOOKED BACK AND FOUND THE GAS TABS STRAP WAS TANGLING AND HIT THE PROP SHAFT. THEN NOTICE THE TANK WAS HANGING 1/2'LOWER THAN THE FRONT. I CALLED THE TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP AND BOTH SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO. NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH I TOLD BOTH THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT HAD THE FRAME REPLACED AND I TRIED TO GET THAT DONE BUT THEY SAID IT EXPIRED. I'VE ONLY OWN THE VERGIL'S FOR 3MTHS. SINCE THE FRAME DID NOT GET REPLACE THAT MEANS THAT THE FUEL, BRAKE,SPRING, TANK, STRAPS DID NOT GET REPLACE WHICH IS HIDDEN RECALLED. THE DEALER SHIP THAT MY FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT TOYOTA WOULD NOT DO FIX IT. SO OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 MTHS AND IF I HAD KNOWN THIS BEFORE I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. SO NOW I MAYBE OWNING A LEMON DUE TO THIS WITH NO HELP. THE DEALER SHIP I BOUGHT THIS TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THERE WAS, WHEN THE HAD THE VEHICLE ON THERE LOT. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

THROUGH NO FAULT OF OUR OWN, THE FRAME ON OUR TOYOTA TRUCK HAS BEEN DISCOVERED BY OUR MECHANIC AS RUSTED OR CORRODED TO AN EXTEND OF UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. TOYOTA IN RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT REPLACED THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER AS A SAFETY RECALL THAT NEVER EXPIRES, HOWEVER, THEY ARE TELLING ME THE FRAME IS NO LONGER UNDER A WARRANTY AND IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. THE SUGGESTED I LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA AS THEY ARE UNABLE AND UNWILLING TO DO SOMETHING FOR US. I UPLOADED 5 PICTURES, NOT SURE IF THEY ARE ALL THERE
