UNKNOWN OR OTHER, BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION
WHEN YOU ARE BACKING UP WITH YOUR HEAD LIGHTS ON DURING THE DAY YOUR BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN GOES ALMOST DARK. LETS SAY IT IS RAINING OR ANY OTHER REASON YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE YOUR HEAD LIGHT'S ON OR WANT THEM ON AND YOU NEED TO BACK UP YOUR SCREEN FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA GOES ALMOST DARK YOU CAN NOT MAKE ANYTHING OUT ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THE CAMERA SCREEN SHOULD REMAIN BRIGHT JUST AS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR HEAD LIGHTS ON. A PERSON SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TURN OFF THE HEAD LIGHTS OFF JUST TO SEE THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN. SOME STATES REQUIRE WHEN IT RAINS TO PUT YOUR HEAD LIGHTS ON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TOYOTA PUSHED AN OTA (OVER-THE-AIR) THAT CAUSED FIRMWARE AND COMPLETELY DISABLES THE ONBOARD NAVIGATION. PRESENTLY, I NOW HAVE 'DRIVER EASY SPEAK' OUT OF THE BLUE AND THAT THE 'SOFTWARE IS INCOMPATIBLE' ON MY HEAD UNIT'S DISPLAY. THIS UPLOAD HAS DISABLED VARIOUS TOYOTA MODELS ACROSS THE BOARD. CONTACT WITH VARIOUS TOYOTA DEALERS HAS BEEN A WASTE OF TIME. A LETTER SENT TO TOYOTA CORPORATE HAS BEEN FRUITLESS. THE DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE THE NAVIGATION UNIT FOR $1000!

SERVICE BRAKES
OUR 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA 4WD DOUBLE CAB (WITH 143,000 MILES AND EXCELLENT CONDITION) ABS CONTROL UNIT FAILED SOMETIMES IN EARLY JAN 2020. AFTER WE SEARCHED FOR REPLACEMENT PART ON TOYOTA DEALERS' WEBSITES, THEY SHOWED "THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE." OUR SHOP SEARCHED AND WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA DEALERS THE SAME THING. I CONTACTED DEALERS AND THEY SAID NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT TO CONTACT TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA IN PLANO, TEXAS. WE ALONG WITH OUR SHOP SEARCHED FOR USED/RECYCLED PART ACROSS AMERICA. WE FOUND ONE FROM OREGON BUT IT DID NOT WORK AFTER INSTALLATION. MARCH 17, 2020, WE CONTACTED TOYOTA IN PLANO, TEXAS, WITH A LETTER TO CHRIS NIELSEN, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF PRODUCTS SUPPORT & CHIEF QUALITY OFFICER, ABOUT THIS ABS CONTROL UNIT WITH A "SAFETY ISSUE" AS MY FAMILY AND 10 OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS WHO HAD STUCK OR HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH THIS "SAFETY ISSUE." TOYOTA RESPONDED MARCH 27, 30, 31, APRIL 6, 8, BUT REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE "SAFETY ISSUE." FINALLY, ON APRIL 9, TOYOTA SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. WHEN I ASKED IF WE, ALONG WITH THOUSAND OF OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE STUCK WITH THIS "SAFETY ISSUE"? TOYOTA RESPONDED BY SAYING WE GOT THERE PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS IF WE HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS. MEANWHILE, ON APRIL 3, 2020, WE FOUND A SECOND UNIT, BUT IT AGAIN FAILED AFTER 2 MONTHS. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE UNITS EVEN A USED ONE AND IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL AND TO UNINSTALL. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE AND THOUSAND OF OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ACROSS AMERICA ARE STUCK WITH THIS "SAFETY ISSUE" BECAUSE NO PART WAS AVAILABLE ANYWHERE WITHIN US. IT IS NOT JUST 2001 AS OTHER YEARS USED THE SAME PART. TOYOTA KNEW LONG AGO AND DECIDED NOT TO PRODUCE THEM ANYMORE AND THAT IS WHY PEOPLE ACROSS AMERICA ARE STUCK WITH THIS, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THERE HAVE BEEN FATALITIES INVOLVED THIS ABS CONTROL UNIT BUT NO ONE KNEW ABOUT IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE TENDS TO STALL AFTER TAKE OFF (4 CYLINDER) I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE (NO OPEN RECALL) AND SERVICE TECH/MECHANIC STATED THAT'S HOW THE 4 CYLINDER IS SUPPOSE TO DRIVE. (NOT TRUE) I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM DURING TAKE OFF AT STOP LIGHTS, INABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE GOING UP SLIGHT HILLS (EVEN AFTER BEING AT 50 MPH OR OVER) THE TRUCK STILL WON'T ACCELERATE (LIKE IT'S STUCK IN A GEAR) HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GAS LEVEL (FULL, HALF, QUARTER) MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 3,300 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW ALMOST A YEAR AGO.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN MARCH RECEIVED THE NHTSA RECALL NO. 20V-012 NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR MY 2019 TACOMA. ON JANUARY 13, 2020, TOYOTA SUBMITTED A SAFETY RECALL REPORT (THE 'RECALL REPORT') TO NHTSA VOLUNTARILY RECALLING NEARLY 700,000 TOYOTA AND LEXUS VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN AUGUST 1, 2018 THROUGH JANUARY 31, 2019 WITH DEFECTIVE LOW PRESSURE DENSO FUEL PUMPS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THE "REMEDY" WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2020. THIS MEANS MY TRUCK COULD FAIL FOR A FULL SIX MONTHS BETWEEN THE TIME OF THE NOTIFICATION AND THE "REMEDY" AND A FULL 9 MONTHS FROM THE FILING DATE. MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE COULD FAIL. THE DENSO LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS ALSO LISTED IN A SIMILAR RECALL FOR SUBARU. WHY ARE THESE COMPANIES GIVEN SO MUCH TIME TO REMEDY A KNOWN MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM WHILE THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL ON THE ROAD? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

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
