POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIX SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLOW TO CHANGE OVER, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE, AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD, WHICH PRESENTED THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. RECENTLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, IT LUNGED FORWARD WHILE A PASSERBY WAS WALKING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. CAPITOL TOYOTA (765 CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY AUTO MALL, SAN JOSE, CA 95136, (408) 705-4707) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS AND INDICATED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE MAY REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
HEARD VALVES TAPPING ALOT OF TIME. REPORTED AND TOOK TO TOYOTA. THEY SAID NO CODE NO WORK. THEY GAVE THE LINE OF WHEN THIS GAS HITS THIS PART THEN THIS ONE TRIES TO CATCH UP OR BURN EXCESS FUEL. OUT OF 40 PLUS YEARS AND PUCHASING MANY VEHICLE I NEVER BEEN TOLD THAT BEFORE. I TALKED TO OTHER 2017 OWNERS AND THEY DONT HAVE THIS ISSUE. ALSO THE BRAKES MAKE METALIC CLUNKING NOISES MOVING BACKWARS AND FOWRDS WHEN BRAKING. THIER ANSWER WAS FLOATING VALVES. AND AGAIN THIS ISSUE ISNT ON OTHER TACOMMA OWNERS. I TRYED THREE TIMES WITH VALVE ISSUES. SAME OLD LINE NO CODE NO WORK. MAYBE PADS ARE WORN BUT STILL HAVE 70 % LEFT ON PADS

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
PURCHASED TRUCK JULY 24, 2017 FROM MARK MILLER TOYOTA IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS I LOST BRAKES 3 TIMES. WENT TO DEALER EACH TIME. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE SO NO REPAIRS MADE. AFTER THE 3 TIMES A RECALL CAME OUT, 18V888. EXACT SYMPTOMS. THEN A FORTH TIME HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THE RECALL DOESN'T EFFECT MY VIN SO THEY STILL HAVE TO DUPLICATE. TODAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2019 TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP AND I RAN THRU A STOP SIGN, AND IT WAS CONT ON MY DASH CAM. WITH THIS PROBLEM MY SEATS ARE LOOSE AND SOMETIMES DON'T LOCK. WHEN EVER IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE THE SEAT BELTS LOCK UP AND WONT UNLOCK LOCK. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK AND NOTHING WILL EVER GET FIXED AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN MY DEALER WON'T REPAIR ANYTHING. ALSO BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE VEHICLES OFF-ROAD OPTION, CRAWL CONTROL, WHICH USES ABS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
NOTICING THAT AS I COME TO A STOP AT THE LAST SECOND THE DRIVETRAIN SEEMS TO SNAP OUT OF GEAR CAUSING A VERY LOUD CLUNK AT THIS POINT THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO FREE WHEEL FORWARD UNSAFELY. . THE JOLT YOU GET CAN BE COMPARED TO PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR AT TOO HIGH OF AN IDOL, WHICH WILL CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR AND TEAR TO YOUR DRIVETRAIN. ALSO, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO SURGE AT IDOL WHILE IN GEAR AND IF YOU AREN'T READY FOR IT AND YOU ARE PARKING BEHIND SOMETHING, YOU RUN THE RISK OF HITTING IT.. I HAVE ADDRESSED THE DRIVETRAIN ISSUE WITH THE DEALER, BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET THIS TO HAPPEN FOR THEM. VERY INTERESTING CONSIDERING THERE SEEMS TO BE OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES.
