FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AS OF JANUARY 13TH, 2020 TOYOTA ISSUED THE FOLLOWING RECALL INFORMATION ABOUT MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA (MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20TB02/NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V012): "THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE ENGINE MAY RUN ROUGH. THIS MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL, AND THE VEHICLE MAY BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. SAFETY RISK: IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH." I FREQUENTLY CHECKED THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL (BOTH BY CHECKING THE NHTSA SITE AND CALLING MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS) AND AS OF TODAY, JULY 16TH, 2020, MORE THAN HALF A YEAR AFTER THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED, THIS RECALL REMAINS UNADDRESSED AND IS LISTED AS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. GIVEN THE SAFETY RISKS, 6+ MONTHS IS AN INAPPROPRIATELY LONG TIME NOT TO OFFER CONSUMERS A REMEDY WHILE WE ARE STILL DRIVING OUR VEHICLES. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO AVOID DRIVING IT WHILE I AWAIT A SAFETY REMEDY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 6 SPEED MANUAL V6 3.5L TRD OFF ROAD TACOMA HAS HESITATIONS AND BUCKS WHEN YOU APPLY THROTTLE IN THE LOWER RPM 1000 TO 2000 RANGE TO ACCELERATE AND ALSO HAS POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN DOWN SHIFTING TO SLOW AND MAKE A TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET. YOU HAVE TO APPLY ALMOST 3/4 THROTTLE TO GET THE RPM TO COME TO WHERE YOU CAN REV MATCH TO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. IT MAKES FOR A JERKY RIDE FOR PASSENGERS AND SEEMS HARD ON THE DRIVETRAIN. NO DEALER FIX IS AVAILABLE. CLUTCH PEDAL ALSO SQUEAKS ON WARMER DAYS. *TR

SUSPENSION
HITACHI SHOCKS CAN'T HANDLE DAMPENING REQUIREMENTS CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOSE CONTACT WITH THE ROADWAY - REDUCING TRACTION, BRAKING ABILITY, AND STABILITY. MY 10 YEAR OLD SON CAN COLLAPSE THE SHOCK WITH 1 HAND - NEVER MIND A VEHICLE THAT WEIGHS 4,000+ LBS. IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF LOAD - WHEN HITTING A BUMP THE TRUCK BOUNCES DOWN THE ROAD - WHERE YOU MUST BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL TO KEEP THE TRUCK TRACKING STRAIGHT. THIS IS MOST SEVERE ON THE HIGHWAY. NONE OF THE VEHICLES WE HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST 30 YEARS EXHIBITED THIS SEVERE SUSPENSION SHORT FALL. THE ONLY TIME YOU MAY EXPERIENCE THIS IS AFTER SOMETHING IN THE SUSPENSION HAS FAILED OR WORN OUT. NOT ON A VEHICLE WITH UNDER 30K MILES ON IT. *TR

ENGINE
2018 TACOMA TRD SPORT MANUAL TRANSMISSION - THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY 1 - ENGINE HESITATION IN 1ST AND MOST NOTICEABLE IN SECOND GEAR. THE TRUCK HESITATES AND SURGES DURING LIGHT AND MODERATE ACCELERATION - FEELING LIKE AN EXTREME LEAN RUNNING CONDITION. THIS PUTS THE DRIVER AND OTHER PEOPLE AROUND YOU AT RISK WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR HIGHWAY. IF YOU SHIFT A TOUCH EARLY INTO SECOND GEAR THE TRUCK OCCASIONALLY BOG ( STARVE FOR FUEL )HEAVILY - WHERE YOU MUST EITHER BE PATIENT, SLIP THE CLUTCH PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR HARDER, OR DOWNSHIFT. THE HESITATION IS THERE ALL THE TIME AND MORE NOTICEABLE WITH ANY LOAD UP ANY INCLINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE DRIVER MUST BE PREPARED AT ALL TIMES TO DOWN SHIFT, SLIP THE CLUTCH, AND MUST KNOW ABOUT THE HESITATION. MY CO-WORKERS AND FRIENDS HAVE DRIVEN WITH ME AND CAN'T BELIEVE TOYOTA HASN'T FIXED IT YET. MY SON CAME HOME FROM DRIVING IT - SAYING ITS HESITATING SEVERELY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY 1 AND GETTING WORSE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME AND THE WARNING TO BRAKE ALONG WITH THE ASSOCIATED BEEPING AND RED BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD APPEARED. THIS WENT AWAY AFTER ABOUT 2 SECONDS. IT WAS LIKE THE VEHICLE SENSED A CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT I WAS GOING TO HIT BUT THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME WHATSOEVER. THE BRAKES NEVER ENGAGED BUT THE WARNING CAUSED ME TO JUMP. IF I WAS IN A CONGESTED AREA OR ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OR SWERVE INTO SOMEONE/SOMETHING. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN DECEMBER OF 2019 MY TRUCK STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO REAR END THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME AS I LOST SIGNIFICANT BRAKE PRESSURE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE. ONE MONTH LATER, A RECALL IS ANNOUNCED. HERE WE ARE IN JUNE (HALF A YEAR LATER) AND I WORRY EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY TRUCK THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN WILL TOYOTA BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE FUEL PUMPS IN THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED?! *TR

VEHICLE HAS HAD A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP SINCE JANUARY. SO FAR TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD NOT TAKE 6 MONTHS FOR THEM TO FIND A FIX.
