I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN MAY 2010. I SAW A STICKER IN MY DOOR JAM THAT NOTES MODIFICATIONS TO MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN MADE TO REDUCE THE LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL IN FEBRUARY 2010 THAT LED TO THE MODIFICATION. WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE THE SALESMAN DID NOT REVEAL TO ME THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL OR ANY CHANGES HAD BEEN MADE TO MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS THE HEADQUARTERS OFFICE ON 12/08/2010, 01/06/2011, & 01/13/2011. THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER & TOLD ME AFTER THE 3RD ATTEMPT TO CALL THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. TO THIS VERY DATE I STILL CAN NOT GET ANYONE @ THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP OR TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS TO RETURN MY CALL IN REFERENCE TO THIS. I AM STILL NOT CLEAR ON WHAT MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE & HOW IT IMPACTS MY VEHICLE. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE TREATMENT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA AND FEEL IF THEY SOLD ME A FAULTY VEHICLE THAT IT SHOULD BE TAKEN BACK.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2010 TACOMA, WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, SUDDENLY SURGES AS IF SOMEBODY HIT THE GAS OR SLAMMED ME IN THE REAR. IT HASN'T PUSHED ME BEYOND MY BRAKES BUT IT IS VERY DISTURBING. I REPORTED THIS TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE IT. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH ANY REGULARITY, IT JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN YOU GO TO VERY LOW SPEEDS AND MAKE A SHARP TURN THE RPMS JUMP TO ABOUT 3,000 AND THEN IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION KICKS IN. THIS WAS ALSO REPORTED TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS BY DESIGN BUT IF IT IS IT IS POOR DESIGN. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHENEVER SLOWING DOWN FROM 25 MPH TO MAKE A TURN OR JUST TO SLOW UP, WHEN ACCELERATOR IS AGAIN PUSHED DOWN TO SPEED UP, THE TRUCK "HUNTS" FOR THE PROPER GEAR, USUALLY SHIFTING TO TOO LOW A GEAR FOR THE SPEED NEEDED (TRANSMISSION/COMPUTER PROBLEM), CAUSING VEHICLE TO PAUSE & NOT PICK UP SPEED. THIS CAUSES A SEVERE THREAT OF BEING REAR ENDED OR HIT IN AN INTERSECTION DUE TO LACK OF ACCELERATION. DEALERS WON'T FIX IT OR REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER. I'VE OWNED A LOT OF VEHICLES & NONE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM..

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2010 TACOMA CREW CAB WITH 18,000 MILES, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD OR WARM IT SEEMS TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR GOING AROUND CORNERS OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERYTIME BUT AT UNEXPECTED TIMES. ALSO AFTER I HAVE SLOWED DOWN TO ROUND A CORNER OR CROSS AN INTERSECTION THE TRUCK FEELS AS IF IT SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL GEAR AND WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED NO FORWARD MOVEMENT OCCURS. IT ACTS LIKE IT HAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. AFTER ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 6 SECONDS IT STARTS MOVING FORWARD AGAIN AND STARTS MOVING AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR AT EVERY CORNER, STOP OR LIGHT BUT DOES HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND CHANGING LANES. SO FAR I HAVE HAD 5 NEAR COLLISIONS IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THEIR FIRST TEST DRIVE, HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM AND ARE TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR
