ENTUNE RADIO/HEADUNIT (HU) REBOOT ITSELF WHILE IN A CALL. REBOOT OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED, DURING ANY DRIVING CONDITION. AS THE HU REBOOTS, DRIVER IS UNABLE TO USE REAR-VIEW CAMERA AND ANY OTHER FEATURE DISPLAYED IN HU. ROAD ATTENTION IS AFFECTED SINCE DRIVER IS DISTRACTED BY THE SCREEN GOING BLACK AND ON AGAIN. ALSO IF DRIVER IS IN A CALL HAS TO END CALL FROM THE PHONE AND CALL AGAIN USING THE PHONE. NO MESSAGE OR ERROR CODE WAS DISPLAYED ON HU. DEALER ASKED TO FILM THE ISSUE WITH THE CELLPHONE IN ORDER TO SERVICE THE HU. DEALER IS ENCOURAGING THE USE OF PHONE WHILE DRIVING TO FILM AN ISSUE THAT THEY SHOULD CHECK BY LOOKING FOR THE HU ERROR LOG. MOREOVER, I FOUND IN FORUMS AND YOUTUBE PEOPLE REPORTING THIS REBOOTING ISSUE IN ENTUNE HU SINCE 2016. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAVE 2K MILES AND 3 MONTH FROM BOUGHT AND HU HAVE SHOWN REBOOT ISSUE AT LEAST 20 TIMES WHILE CONNECTED TO CELLPHONE VIA BLUETHOOTH.

I NOTICED MY 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA MAKING ODD NOISES WHILE DRIVING. I DECIDED TO HAVE MY MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK AT IT FROM THE BOTTOM OF TRUCK: HE SAW AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE OBSERVABLE EXTENSIVE RUSTED/CORROSION AND PERFORATED AREAS ON THE FRAME/CHASSIS OF THE TRUCK AND SAID IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP SINCE THERE HAS BEEN A SETTLEMENT LAWSUIT FOR DEFECTS ON TOYOTA TACOMA'S THAT WHERE NOT TREATED WELL ENOUGH WITH THE RUST INHIBITOR SPRAY. I TOOK MY TACOMA TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT ORIGINALLY AND THEY SAID EXACTLY WHAT MY MECHANIC HAD ALREADY TOLD ME ABOUT THE RUSTED AND PERFORATED AREAS ON THE FRAME/CHASSIS AND STATED THAT THE CHASSIS/FRAME HAS AN ADVANCED CORROSION/ RUST DAMAGES TO THE POINT OF THE FRAME BEING FRACTURED OR BROKEN IN HALF IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES, WHEREAS IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE TRUCK. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON THE RUSTY FRAMES AND NOW AM CONSIDERING FURTHER INTO HIRING AN ATTORNEY REGARDING MY 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY LOVED ONES AND I BELEIVE IT'S INCONSIDERATE AND SHAMING ON TOYOTA TO NOT HAVE ONE SINGLE RECALL INFORMATION ON 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA'S. I HOPE I CAN GET ANSWERS SOON IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM AND WILL DUE WHAT'S NECESSARY TO HAVE TOYOTA RESPOND TO MY ISSUE. I HAVE ALREADY CALLED THEM 4MONTHS AGO AND THEY STATED I HAD TO FIRST FILE THIS COMPLAINT ON THIS WEBSITE IN ORDER TO PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEPS.

OUR TRUCK WAS NOT ON AND THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION OR EVEN IN THE TRUCK. MY HUSBAND WAS HOOKING UP THE BOAT TRAILER AND OUR TWO YEAR OLD SON PUT THE TRUCK INTO NUTRAL. MY HUSBAND SAID THE TRUCK ROLLED A LITTLE. WE DONT FEEL AS THOUGH YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK INTO ANOTHER GEAR FROM PARK UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE TRUCK IS ON. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD SCENARIO IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN PARKED ON A HILL OR INCLINE. WE JUST DONT WANT SOMEONE TO GET HURT.

STEERING
HAD JUST ENTERED MY DRIVEWAY AND TACOMA CABIN SUDDENLY FILLED WITH HEAVY SMOKE AND SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. STOPPED VEHICLE, SET BRAKE AND GOT AWAY FROM IT AFTER OPENING BOTH DOORS. SHORT TIME LATER OPENED HOOD TO TRY AND DETERMINE WHAT HAD GONE WRONG EXPECTING S RADIATOR HOSE LEAK. AFTER EXAMINING FLUIDS, ONLY THE POWER STEERING TANK WAS EMPTY AND PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE SMELLED LIKE CABIN DID. HAD TACOMA TOWED TO DEALER TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG. THEIR MECHANIC FOUND MASSIVE CORROSION OF THE POWER STEERING RACK AND LINES WERE SPLIT/ROTTEN BLOWING POWER STEERING FLUID ONTO MANIFOLD AND LOWER STEERING SHAFT FREEING UP. THEY HAD TO REPLACE POWER STEERING RACK, LINES, OUTTER TIE RODS AND STEERING SHAFT. THEN DID AN ALIGNMENT. BTW THIS TACOMA HAD A FRAME REPLACEMENT ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I FIRMLY BELIEVE POWER STEERING RACK COULD HAVE BEEN STRESSED DURING THAT TIME. ALSO THEY SHOULD HAVE DETECTED THE CORROSION PROBLEM THEN. THE MECHANIC AND SERVICE ADVISOR SHOWED ME WHAT WAS LEFT LEFT OF PSR...SEVERE CORROSION HAD LEFT PIECES OF IT FLAKING OFF. I'M NOT HAVING MUCH SUCCESS GETTING TOYOTA TO COVER PARTS $$$ REPLACEMENT AND I AM A 4 TIME BUYER OF TOYOTA VEHICLES SINCE 1980'S. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED I WOULDN'T BE WRITING THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE OWNED MY TOYOTA TACOMA FOR 18 MONTHS AND MY RADIO HAS HAD PROBLEMS EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT. TOYOTA SUPPOSEDLY HAS RAN TESTS ON IT EVERY TIME I BROUGHT IT IN AT 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS. IT STILL RANDOMLY CUTS OFF AND TAKES FOREVER TO COME BACK ON. IT ALSO WILL END A CALL WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE OR DISCONNECT MY PHONE WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE AND WON'T CONNECT BACK. TODAY I TOOK IT UP THERE AND I JUST HIT 37,000 MILES TODAY AND NOW THEY WANT TO TELL ME I NEED A NEW RADIO BUT IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY AFTER I HIT 37,000 MILES SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. IT IS NOW BEING TAKEN UP WITH TOYOTA SINCE I HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT IT SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2018 TOYOTA TACOMA I4, WHEN COOL OR COLD ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WILL STALL & STUMBLE WHILE ACCELERATING YOU CAN BE SMOOTH OR AGGRESSIVE & IT WILL OCCUR, IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHEN IT HAS BEEN VERY HOT OUTSIDE 85-95 DEGREES AND OCCURS EVEN AT NORMAL ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO WILL DOWN SHIFT TO 4TH GEAR FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE CRUISING @ 55-65MPH ON FLAT AND LEVEL ROADS, IT ALSO CONSTANTLY HUNTS 4 GEARS. I HAVE BEEN TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CANT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS A (4 CYLINDER) THAT THEY ARE NOT AS MANY ON THE ROAD AS THE V6'S MODELS SO TOYOTA ENGENEERING WONT EVEN LOOK INTO THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. THEY JUST SAY THAT'S NORMAL TOYOTA PERFORMANCE.

SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE BRAKE SHUDDER WHILE DECELERATING FROM FREEWAY SPEEDS. AS THE BRAKES HEAT UP, THE BRAKE SHUDDER GETS MORE AND MORE PRONOUNCED. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE ON THIS ISSUE 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. TSB HAS BEEN DONE TO ADDRESS REAR AXLE ISSUES, ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND REAR DRUMS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER'S 2YR/25,000 MILE TOYOTACARE WARRANTY, BUT MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DRUMS/ROTORS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT SHOP AND HAD FRONT ROTORS/PADS REPLACED, ALONG WITH THE REAR DRUMS AND THERE IS STILL A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHILE DECELERATING. PLEASE ADVISE.

I'M WRITING YOU BECAUSE I HAD MY 2001 TACOMA INSPECTED FOR THE FRAME RUST RECALL IN 2010. AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WOULD BE SPRAYED WITH AN INHIBITOR TO PREVENT RUST. THE VEHICLE FRAME HAS SINCE RUSTED AND IS MOST LIKELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE SPRAY INHIBITOR OBVIOUSLY DID NOT WORK OR WAS APPLIED INCORRECTLY. THE SHOCK MOUNT HAS RUSTED FROM THE FRAME WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET.
