SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2019 TACOMA 4X4 DBL CAB SR5 HAS 22000 MILES ON IT AND HAS A HISTORY OF THE BRAKES PULSING. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AT 5K AND 11K MILES, AND NOW AGAIN AT 22K MILES. AT EACH SERVICE APPOINTMENT I COMPLAINED THAT THE BRAKES PULSE BADLY, AND THEY CONFIRM THAT THE ROTORS AND BACK DRUMS ARE WARPED. SO THEY REPLACE THE ROTORS & DRUMS, AND THE PROBLEM IS RELIEVED FOR A TIME, BUT THE PULSING COMES BACK WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. I KEEP TELLING THE SERVICE PEOPLE THAT THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENT PROBLEM CAUSING THE BRAKES TO WARP BUT THEY JUST SHRUG IT OFF.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN APPLYING THE POWER BRAKES AT A STOP THE PEDAL AFTER A FEW SECONDS STARTS TO FADE TO THE FLOOR IF RELEASED AND REAPPLIED THEY COME BACK UP TO STOP POSITION AND WILL FADE AGAIN. WHEN BACKING UP AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND BACKING SLOWLY TO HOUSE GARAGE THE BRAKE STARTS TO FADE TO THE FLOOR AND HAS TO BE REAPPLIED TO STOP THE TRUCK. YESTERDAY IN A SHOPPING MALL I HAD TO GO AROUND A PARKED CAR WITH ANOTHER CAR HEADED IN MY DIRECTION HAD TO APPLY BRAKES AND SLOWLY MOVE PAST THE PARKED CAR THE PEDAL WENT SO FAR DOWN MY FOOT HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REAPPLY THE BRAKES. HAD TRUCK BACK TO TOYOTA DEALER TWICE AND THEY INSIST THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK. IF YOU HAVE EVER DRIVEN AN OLDER CAR WHERE THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILS THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT FEELS LIKE, HAVING THAT EXPERIENCE ONCE IN MY DRIVING CAREER OF OVER 60 YEARS/ THE TRUCK TO ME IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND AM CONCERNED FOR MYSELF AND MY WIFES SAFETY.CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE 1-800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD NOTHING THEY CAN DO IF SERVICE DEPT SAID NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK, LOOKING FOR SOME SOLUTION I SEE OTHERS HAVE POSTED THE SAME PROBLEM ON YOUR WEB SITE. THANK YOU .

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNPROMPTED ACCELERATION - WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 15 MPH IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, I ACCELERATED BRIEFLY AND THEN LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND EVEN DOWNSHIFTED, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LURCH FORWARD. CONDITIONS - I WAS IN LIGHT TO MODERATE TRAFFIC ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK. THE TRAFFIC WAS STOP-AND-GO. THE CARS AHEAD OF ME ACCELERATED, SO I DID AS WELL. THE CARS AHEAD OF ME QUICKLY DECELERATED, SO I LET OFF THE GAS BUT DID NOT NEED TO BRAKE AS I WAS A SAFE DISTANCE. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WELL AFTER I LET OFF THE GAS AND IT LURCHED FORWARD AND DOWNSHIFTED IN THE PROCESS. THE ENGINE RPM WENT TO ABOUT 3,500. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE, AND THE ACCELERATION STOPPED AND THE ENGINE WENT BACK TO IDLE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED DECELERATION LAG IN MANY VEHICLES, BUT IN THIS CASE, IT WAS A SURGE, NOT A LAG. IT WAS LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO THINK OF SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN FEB 2019, I PURCHASED A NEW TOYOTA TACOMA FROM CAVENDER TOYOTA, LOCATED IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. IN LESS THAN TWO (2) YEARS AND WITH ONLY 7,084 MILES, I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES PERTAINING TO ITS RADAR SENSOR SYSTEM AND FUEL PUMP. THE FORMER ALERTS THE DRIVER WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OBSTACLE IS TOO CLOSE; THE REMEDY WAS INSTALLED BY THE DEALER THIS YEAR. THE LATTER REMAINS AND IS STILL PENDING DEVELOPMENT/DELIVERY BY HEADQUARTERS (HQ) TOYOTA PROJECTED FOR LATE SEP 2020. IN THE INTERIM, THE RISK IS THE 2019 TOYOTA TACOMA CAN STALL WHILE DRIVING. ON 6 AUG 2020, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE EXITING MY DRIVE WAY. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND MANAGER ADVISED NOTHING CAN BE DONE SINCE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THEY SAID THE RISK IS THE TRUCK MAY STALL AGAIN AND TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE IT TOWED. THEY ALSO STATED THE FUEL PUMP RECALL PERTAINS TO THE TOYOTA TACOMA, COROLLA, SIENNA, AND HIGHLANDER. DUE TO SAFETY HAZARD POSED AND MY DISSATISFACTION WITH THE RESPONSES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND MANAGER, THEY RECOMMENDED CONTACTING HQ TOYOTA TO RELAY MY VIEWS. ON 7 AUG, I DID SO. THE HQ CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE ADVOCATE PROVIDED THE SAME RESPONSE. SPECIFICALLY, NOTHING FURTHER CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE SINCE THE PART IS BEING DEVELOPED. ON 17 AUG, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. I IMMEDIATELY REACHED OUT TO ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED FOR TWO HOURS IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS LOADED AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE NOW RESIDES AT THE CAVENDER TOYOTA DEALER'S PARKING LOT WHERE IT SITS WITH OTHER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, UNTIL THE PART IS PRODUCED/SHIPPED AND CAN BE FIXED. ON 18 AUG 2020, I PROVIDED AN UPDATE TO HQ TOYOTA ON MY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND SAFETY CONCERNS. THEY REITERATED NOTHING FURTHER CAN BE DONE AT THIS TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING MY 2019 TOYOTA TACOMA (APPROX. 6900 MILES) I NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE NOT FIRM AFTER INITIAL APPLICATION. THE PEDAL THEN WOULD SLOWLY SINK TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING POWER WAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED THAT TIME. I PUMPED THE BRAKE AND ACHIEVED BETTER BRAKING RESULT BUT WHEN CONSTANT PRESSURE WAS APPLIED THE BRAKING RESULT DIMINISHED VERY QUICKLY. THIS CONTINUED DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. TO ME IT VERY CLOSELY RESEMBLED A MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER SEAL FAILURE, WHICH I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH VEHICLES IN THE PAST. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND OPERATED THE BRAKES IN A STATIONARY POSITION AND THE SAME SYMPTOMS OCCURRED. THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR WAS AT THE CORRECT LEVEL AND DID NOT VARY. I WAS ABLE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE TECHNICIAN BELIEVED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER HAS ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART AND PROVIDED A RENTAL VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE. I WAS INFORMED EVERYTHING WOULD BE A WARRANTY COVERED REPAIR.
