WHEELS
I BOUGHT ALL 4 OF MY TIRES AT THE TIRE SHOP AND I HAVEN'T DROVE MORE THEN 5,000 MILES ON THEM AND IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A TREAD SEPARATION SO I WENT TO TAKE THEM IN TO CHANGE MY TIRES BECAUSE I HAD WARRANTY ON THEM . WHEN I TOLD ABOUT IT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND I WOULD HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES AND THE WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER IT . I NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS AT WORK AND GRABBING MY DRINK FROM THE TRUCK . I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT'S 1 AND SAFETY IS MY CONCERN AND WANT MY FAMILY TO BE SAFE . AND FOR ME TO BUY NEW TIRES WOULD PUT A DENT ON MY POCKET BECAUSE I GOT OTHER BILLS AND PRIORITIES TO PAY . SO MY CONCERN IS THAT SHOULD MY WARRANTY COVER MY TIRES AND IS THERE A MANUFACTORY PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES ? I DID TAKE THEM TO 3 OTHER TIRE SHOPS AND 2 OUT OF 3 SAID IT LOOKS LIKE THERE TREAD SEPARATING AND THE OTHER COULDN'T REALLY TELL HOW THAT WOULD HAPPEN .

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!

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, I COLLIDED INTO A LARGE FREE RANGE ANIMAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

I AM CONCERNED THAT THE LABEL ON MY TRUCK WHICH CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT THE WEIGHT LOAD BEARING IS WRONG, BECAUSE BOTH LEAF SPRINGS ON MY TRUCK BROKE AND I WASN'T CARRYING A HEAVY LOAD, OR MORE THAN WHAT IS RECOMMENDED. HOW DO I PURSUE A DISPUTE WITH A RECALL? TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A DIRT ROAD WHEN I WAS HAULING AN ATV AND I NOTICED THAT MY BED LOOKED OFF BALANCE.

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SOME TIME NOW AND IS RELATED TO MY BREAKS. AT FIRST NOT SO BAD BUT IS BECOMING MUCH WORSE OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. LET ME DESCRIBE AS I DID TO MY TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER LAST WEEK BEFORE MY LAST SERVICE AND MULTI POINT INSPECTION. WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND I APPLY THE BREAKS TO SLOW THE VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JUMPS BACK AND FORTH IN MY HANDS. THE HARDER I APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE THE WORSE IT GETS. I JUST RETURNED FROM A TRIP WITH SOME FRIENDS GOLFING. WE TRAVELED FROM CUMMING, GA TO HUNTSVILLE, AL. THIS WAS CHRONIC AND GETTING A BIT SCARY. WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW AND IT HAS ONLY ABOUT 40,000 MILES. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE VEHICLE BUT THIS IS NOT GOOD. WE (MY WIFE AND I) ARE MAKING A TRIP TO GREEN BAY, WI TO VISIT FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THIS IS SERIOUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED. IT FEELS UNSAFE. OUR CURRENT SERVICE CENTER IS BEAVER TOYOTA OF CUMMING GA. WE ARE LEAVING JUNE 6, 2019 TO TRAVEL TO GREEN BAY..... IT WOULD BE NICE IT WERE FIXED BEFORE WE LEAVE!J MY TELEPHONE (CELL) IS (XXXXXX) PLEASE CALL.

AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 75 MPH AND MY DRIVER SIDE AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED SPONTANEOUSLY. I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING. IT JUST DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON AND CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH INTO NEARBY CARS ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO ALARM INDICATORS STATING THAT I HAD ANY ISSUES OR THAT I NEEDED TO SERVICE MY TACOMA. WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE TACOMA STABLE AND I NOTICED THAT I STARTED LOSING SPEED EVEN WHEN I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS. I EVENTUALLY COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE COMING TO A DEAD STOP.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY PROBLEM IS ON-GOING REGARDING BLIND-SPOTS/POOR VISIBILITY DUE TO OVERSIZED SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY TOYOTA DEALER PARTS DEPT, THE SALEMAN, THE HEAD OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, TOYOTA MANUFACTURING'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT; NON OF THEM ARE ABLE TO HELP ME. THEY REFERRED ME TO YOU. THE OVER-SIZED SIDE MIRRORS & HOUSING CAUSE VERY SERIOUS BLIND SPOTS LOOKING TO EITHER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OR PASSENGER SIDE, BLOCKING VISIBILITY OVER THE FRONT FENDERS WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. I HAVE BECOME VERY PROACTIVE IF I AM ENTERING INTO AN INTERSECTION TO BE AWARE IF THERE IS A VEHICLE OR PERSON IN THE INTERSECTION BEFORE I GET THERE. OTHERWISE I DO NOT SEE THEM IF THEY ARE ALREADYIN THE BLIND SPOT NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE ALMOST HIT SOMEONE, CHILDREN, OR A CAR WHEN TURNING BECAUSE OF THIS. ONLY LUCK AND THE OTHER PERSON'S AWARENESS THAT I DID NOT HIT THEM. UNFORTUNATELY, NO MATTER HOW PROACTIVELY AWARE I AM OF MY SURROUNDINGS, IF A VEHICLE OR PERSON HAS ALREADY ENTERED INTO THE BLIND SPOT OR DEAD ZONE IT DOES NOT MATTER I WILL NOT SEE THEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN JUST RECENTLY. TOYOTA SAYS THEY HAVE NO OPTIONS FOR REPLACING THE MIRRORS WITH A SMALLER VERSION. I HAVE PUT A CUSHION ON MY SEAT TO RAISE ME, BUT THAT IS OF LITTLE HELP. I NEED A SMALLER PROFILED MIRROR. TOO ME THE NEED FOR SUCH AN OVER SIZED MIRROR AND HOUSING IS UNNECESSARY FOR EVERYDAY DRIVING. IT IS A LIABILITY. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE GET RID OF THE TRUCK, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO HURT SOMEONE. I AM VERY CONCERNED. I HAVE SEEN INTERNET POSTINGS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE SALESMAN SAID HE IS AWARE OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE FOR SOME PEOPLE WITH THE PRIUS. PLEASE GIVE A CALL WITH SUGGESTIONS AND HELP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JACKIE

PAINT IS VERY WEAK, THIN, AND SCRATCHES VERY EASILY. VERY LOW QUALITY PAINT JOB. CLEAR COAT IS NON-EXISTENT. THIS IS A BLACK TRUCK AND THE PRIMER IS WHITISH COLOR SO EVERY LITTLE SCRATCH SHOWS VERY CLEARLY. A TENNIS BALL BOUNCING OFF THE TRUCK LEAVES SCRATCHES INTO THE PRIMER, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. TOYOTA RESPECTFULLY DECLINED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITHIN 2 MINUTES OF CONTACTING COOPERATE, AND THEY DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK TO MANAGERS. THEIR DECISION IS FINAL.
