I HAVE A NEW 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA TRUCK WHICH HAS EXHIBITED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THIS IS NOT A QUALITY ISSUE AS MUCH AS IT IS A DESIGN ISSUE SINCE THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND OCCURS WITH ALL THE TACOMAS USING THEIR NEW 5 SPEED ECT-I AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. HERE ARE SOME WEB SITES REFERENCING THE PROBLEM HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2009/TOYOTA/TACOMA HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0DE869 WHEN SLOWING DOWN AROUND TURNS OR DECELERATING FOR OTHER REASONS, THE CAR WILL DOWNSHIFT INTO A NON-RESPONSIVE MODE AND THERE IS AN EXTREME LAG FOLLOWED BY A LURCH FORWARD AS THE TRANSMISSION DESPERATELY SINKS WHICH GEAR TO GO INTO. I HAVE DISCUSSED IT WITH MY DEALER TO NO AVAIL. THEY RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM BUT CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE IT. THIS SITUATION IS OF GREAT SAFETY IMPORTANCE SINCE THE TRUCK FAILS TO RESPOND FOR SAFETY AND AVOIDANCE MEASURES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2009 TOYOTA TACOMA,5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN AND THEN RESUMING SPEED, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE IN NEUTRAL OR SEVERELY SLIPPING. TOYOTA SERVICE STATES THIS IS NORMAL ! MAKES TURNING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS VERY HAZARDOUS AS YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE PROPERLY ENGAGED IN GEAR. ALWAYS HAPPENS AT 20 MPH OR LESS WHEN IN DRIVE. I HAVE ALSO HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WHEN IN LOCAL STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, NO TURNING INVOLVED. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY WIFE & I WERE TRAVELING INTO BAKERSFIELD, (WE'RE FROM ARVIN, CA) ALONG BEAR MT. BLVD. ON SAT. SEPT. 5, 2009 AROUND 4:00 P.M. AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND IT BECAME DIFFICULT FOR ME TO STEER. INSTEAD OF GOING ON THE FREEWAY, I DECIDED TO TAKE AN ALTERNATE RT. I CAME TO A STOP AND BEGAN TURNING LEFT AT APPROX. 5- 10 MPH & THE R FRONT TIRE FOLDED OUT & THE LOWER BALL JOINT SNAPPED. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. WE HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED HOME. I ORDERED THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ON LINE SO I COULD REPLACE THEM. THIS IS BECAUSE WHEN I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT ONE ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I AM FURIOUS. I BELIEVE TOYOTA IS LIABLE FOR MY DAMAGES. BEFORE THIS OCCURRED, I HEARD A FEW CLICKING & GRINDING SOUNDS & THOUGHT MAYBE MY POWER STEERING WAS GOING OUT. I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS BALL JOINT FAILURE, OR I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT. I HAVE MY OLD DEFECTIVE PARTS. I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER WITNESS TO THIS INCIDENCE BESIDES MY WIFE. HE LIVES ACROSS THE STREET FROM WHERE THIS OCCURRED & HEARD THE LOUD BOOM WHEN THE TRUCK HIT THE GROUND. I HOPE YOU LOOK INTO THIS MATTER, AS I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT WE DID. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE USUALLY MAKING LEFT TURN, COMING OUT OF THE TURN, PUTTING ON THE GAS, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE BUT WILL REV UP TO APPROX. 2500 RPM'S AND THEN SUDDENLY ENGAGE AND LURCH FORWARD IN FIRST GEAR. THERE IS A DELAY IN POWER WHICH IS DANGEROUS IF CROSSTRAFFIC IS COMING. SAME SLOWING DOWN THROUGH INTERSECTION, THEN PUTTING GAS DOWN. *TR

PURCHASED 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA CREWCAB IN JULY 2009. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO NOTICE WHEN DRIVING THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEARING WAS NOT CORRECT. WHEN DECELERATING TO MAKE A TURN OR AFTER COMING TO COMPLETE STOP FOLLOWED BY ACCELERATION, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND STRUGGLES TO FIND THE CORRECT GEAR FOR THE SPEED THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WITHOUT WARNING WHEN DRIVING NORMAL SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK. BOTH TIMES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT BLOCKED OR IMPEDED. WHEN I SUBSEQUENTLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL, THE SECOND TIME THE ENGINE RACED TO REDLINE SO I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THEREAFTER, I STARTED THE ENGINE AND IT RACED TO REDLINE, SO I SHUT IT DOWN. THE SECOND TIME I STARTED IT, THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM HAPPENED, I THINK THAT HAD BEEN USING CRUISE CONTROL EARLIER IN THE 45 MINUTE DRIVE. THE SECOND TIME, CRUISE CONTROL HAD NEVER BEEN TURNED ON OR ENGAGED AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN THE FIRST 2/10 OF A MILE INTO MY DRIVE. THE PEDAL DID NOT GET STUCK AFTER I HAD PRESSED IT ALL THE WAY DOWN. IN BOTH CASES, I WAS DRIVING A CONSTANT 35-45 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK TOOK OFF ON ME. WHEN I SAY IT ACCELERATED, I MEAN PEDAL TO THE METAL ACCELERATION - NOT GRADUAL LIKE WHEN CRUISE CONTROL RESUMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY TESTED IT AND DROVE IT 80 MILES, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR ANYTHING THAT COULD BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED TOYOTA'S NATIONAL OFFICE, AND THEY SAID THAT IF THE DEALER DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THEN THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE SHOWN SERIOUS CONCERN FOR THIS DANGEROUS PRODUCT DEFECT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR AND ALSO LUNGED FORWARD AT TIMES. THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND ALMOST CAUSED HER TO HIT PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS. A TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IT WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO. THE MANUFACTURER BACKED UP THE DEALER'S EXPLANATION. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,600. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 161. BL

STRUCTURE
2001 TOYOTA TACOMA FRAME STRUCTURE IS FALLING APART BEFORE ITS TIME. EVEN IF THEY INSTALL A NEW FRAME IT WILL COST TO MUCH MONEY TO REPLACE PARTS TO OTHER COMPONENTS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRUCK WOULD LOOSE ITS VALUE IF THE FRAME HAS TO BE REPLACED. WHY ARE WE LETTING TOYOTA GET AWAY WITH THIS? *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A NEW 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA IN MAY OF 2009. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION 'SLIPS' AND DOES NOT ENGAGE AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER SLOWING TO AROUND 10 MPH AND THEN ACCELERATING WITHOUT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE HAD SOME CLOSE CALLS WHEN TURNING LEFT AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT. I HAVE CARRIED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAY THAT TOYOTA HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM AND IS WORKING ON A COMPUTER 'PATCH' TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I WAS GIVEN NO TIME FRAME TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I "GOOGLED" TOYOTA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE SO PREVALENT THAT THERE IS A PRIVATE WEB SITE DEVOTED TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING WHY THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL? THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I DRIVE A 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES/STICKS WHEN THE DRIVER ACCELERATES AFTER DE-ACCELERATING. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE TRUCK SLOWS TO A SPEED BELOW 15-20 MPH, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING A CORNER OR YIELDING. THE DRIVER IS PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, TRYING TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY OF OTHER TRAFFIC AND THE TRANSMISSION IS STICKING AND REVVING UP; NOT WANTING TO KICK IN AND GO. TOYOTA CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL. THIS IS NOT NORMAL - IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION DOES NOT RESPOND WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING PROBABLY BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THE TACH WILL GO UP BUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE AND YOU JUST END UP COASTING INTO A TURN OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. BUT FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS I SEE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH SOME 09 TACOMAS. YOU CANNOT PULL INTO TRAFFIC FROM A ROLLING START SAFELY. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2008 TOYOTA TACOMA TRD OFF-ROAD LARGE, SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS WHILE STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD JUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ROAR. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM MOVING FORWARD BY APPLYING ADDITIONAL BRAKING PRESSURE. A MAN WHO WAS ABOUT TO CROSS THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK HEARD THE NOISE AND JUMPED BACK ONTO THE CURB TO AVOID BEING HIT. THE TRUCK PROCEEDED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND APPROX. ANOTHER 100 FEET BEFORE THE RPMS RETURNED TO NORMAL AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THERE WAS NO CROSS TRAFFIC AT THE TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. APPROX MILEAGE IS 10K. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1 - MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, NOT THE GAS PEDAL, AND I DO NOT DRIVE USING BOTH FEET, AND MY SHOE SIZE IS 8. 2 - THE FLOOR MAT WAS LYING FLAT ON THE FLOOR WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENED. 3 - I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE SLIGHT INCREASE IN RPMS THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING CYCLES, AND THIS WAS SEVERAL ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE BEYOND THAT. THIS IS THE 5TH TOYOTA PICKUP I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST 12 YEARS, AND THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS KIND OF THIS ISSUE. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THESES TRUCKS AND IT CAUSES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS. I WAS WELL AWARE OF THE COMPLAINTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED FROM OTHERS FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM, LONG BEFORE EXPERIENCING IT MYSELF. *TR

SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF MY 2007 TACOMA, MORE THEN ONCE WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, THE TRUCK WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE, IT HAPPENED AT A STOP JUST BEFORE MY ACCIDENT AND A SCHOOL BUS WAS GOING THOUGH THE INTERSECTION. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AT A PUBLIC STORAGE GATE A MINUTE LATTER AND GOT BACK IN AND WAITED FOR THE GATE TO OPEN I SUDDENLY HAD A UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF MY 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA, WHEN I HIT THE BREAK IT WENT FASTER, I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK TO STOP THE BACK WHEELS FROM SPINNING, THE GATE WAS TOTALED FROM MY TRUCK. I WAS NOT EVEN DRIVING AND IT TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN! I HAD TOYOTA INSPECT IT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS FOR 20 YEARS, NOW MY INSURANCE RATES ARE HIGH, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS, IT IS NOT A WRONG PEDDLE PROBLEM. IT ALSO HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE AND I HAD LESS THEN 5000 MILES ON THE TACOMA, BUT THE ROAD WAS WET SO I WAS NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE ROAD. IT WAS LESS THEN A YEAR OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND I WAS GONE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AFTER I ALMOST HIT THE SCHOOL BUS, BUT DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE. I HAD TO STOP AT THE STORAGE PLACE AND THAT WAS WHERE I RAN INTO THE GATE. I SINCE HAD A VOLUNTARY REPO AND GAVE IT BACK, I WOULD NOT DRIVE IT AND FEEL SAFE AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY NEW 2009 TOYOTA PRERUNNER TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY SLIPS (DELAYS) WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I FIRST NOTICED IT AT 150 MILES. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH A DEFINITE PATTERN, EXCEPT IT HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM SPEEDS BELOW 10MPH. I NOW HAVE 1500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND IT STILL SLIPS RANDOMLY AND CONTINUOUSLY. I'M AFRAID THAT ONE DAY I'M GOING TO TRY TO ENTER TRAFFIC AND MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO SLIP AND I'M GOING TO HAVE SOMEONE RUN INTO ME OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. TOYOTA HAS TOLD ME THIS IS A "NORMAL" THING. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. I WAS TOLD IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER/EMISSIONS/AND OTHER COMPONENTS, WORKING TOGETHER FOR BETTER GAS MILEAGE (WHICH BY THE WAY IS NOT ALL THAT GREAT) AND IT IS NORMAL. IN OTHER WORDS, NOTHING IS WRONG AND NOTHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED, IT'S SUPPOSED TO THAT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY SLIPPING IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. *TR

EQUIPMENT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LIKE A GREAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE, I AM EXPERIENCING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO IN MY 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WITH NO INPUT FROM ME. IT ALSO SWITCHES BANDS (FM1 TO FM2, ETC.) OF ITS OWN VOLITION. SOMETIMES IT REFUSES TO TURN ON AT ALL. JUDGING FROM THE OTHER COMPLAINTS SCATTERED AROUND VARIOUS FORUM SITES ON THE INTERNET, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS PARTICULARLY PREVALENT IN THE "ACCESS CAB," WHICH IS THE MODEL I RECENTLY PURCHASED. THIS BIZARRE BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN HAPPENING FROM THE DAY I DROVE THE CAR OFF THE DEALERS LOT: THE RADIO--WHICH I THOUGHT WAS OFF-- SUDDENLY BEGAN BLARING AT HIGH VOLUME. AFTER ABOUT ONE SECOND, IT. TURNED ITSELF OFF AGAIN. IT WAS STARTLING TO SAY THE LEAST, AND I'M GLAD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE RADIO EXHIBITS SOME KIND OF "POLTERGEIST" MANIFESTATION ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SO FAR TOYOTA'S RESPONSE TO MY PROBLEM ALSO SEEMS TYPICAL OF WHAT OTHERS ARE REPORTING. THE COMPANY (AND THE DEALER) APPEAR TO BE STONEWALLING AND STALLING. THE INTERNET IS RIFE WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE RADIO YET THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN (PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY AN INDIRECT CONNECTION TO SAFETY ISSUES AND THE LAWSUITS THEY CAN BRING). THE SERVICE WRITER AT MY DEALERSHIP STOUTLY MAINTAINED THAT HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD FOUND COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, HE ATTEMPTED TO CONVINCE ME THAT I WAS THE VICTIM OF INTERNET HYSTERIA--AS IF I COULDN'T TELL WHEN MY RADIO WAS TURNING ON AND OFF WITHOUT HUMAN INPUT. IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR, THE SERVICE WRITER TELLS ME THAT "A TECHNICIAN WILL HAVE TO EXAMINE THE RADIO FOR DEFECTS AND GET PART NUMBERS AND SO FORTH BEFORE HE CAN MAKE REPAIRS." IN OTHER WORDS, I HAVE TO MAKE AT LEAST TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALER (25 MILES AWAY) TO SOLVE WHAT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE RECALL ISSUE, AND I HAVE TO HOPE AN ELECTRICAL GREMLIN APPEARS ON DEMAND WHEN THE TECHNICIAN CHECKS IT. *TR
