TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
THE TRACTION CONTROL ON MY 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA DOES NOT WORK. IT DOES NOT REDUCE THE THROTTLE AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO. WHEN ON A PATCH OF ICE OR SLICK ROAD THE TIRES AND THROTTLE JUST CONTINUE TO ENGAGE. THE STABILITY CONTROL FINALLY ENGAGES BUT STILL DOES NOT REDUCE THE THROTTLE RESPONSE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VEHICLE SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY. ONE OR MORE TIMES A DAY, DEPENDING ON TRAVEL NEEDS, I EXPERIENCE SURGES BOTH AT COMPLETE STOPS AND WHEN ACCELERATING. DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FROM A STOP OR ROLL INCLUDES A "DELAY" IN RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE, THEN THE UNEXPECTED SURGE IS NOTICED. GENERALLY, A SMALL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL DOES NOT YIELD A DESIRED ACCELERATION EFFECT, INSTEAD A "WAIT AND GO" EFFECT IS EXPERIENCED. SEVERAL TIMES, THIS DELAY HAS CAUSED NEAR MISSES IN TERMS OF ACCIDENTS. EXPECTING THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR PRESSURE BUT NOT GETTING ACCELERATION IS CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS. SURGING FORWARD VIOLENTLY WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP IS ANOTHER CONCERN. WITH THE BRAKES COMPLETELY DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WILL SURGE FORWARD AT MOST TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE WITH MY CONCERNING OF SHIFTING AND SOMETIME ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. THE DEALERSHIP DID LITTLE MORE THAN TAKE A SHORT TEST DRIVE WITH ME (NO DIAGNOSTICS, NO FORMAL OR MECHANICAL EVALUATION), AND TELL ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT, NOW WITH 2600 MILES, THE PROBLEMS PERSIST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHILE DRIVING INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE. HE HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED ACCELERATING. A TOYOTA MANUFACTURER TECHNICIAN EXAMINED THE BRAKES SYSTEM ALTHOUGH THE CONTACT INFORMED HIM THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE BRAKES. THE REPRESENTATIVE REMOVED THE FLOOR MATS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I TURNED LEFT INTO A BEST BUY PARKING SPACE. MY FOOT COVERED THE BRAKE AS I SLOWLY COASTED IN. MY 2010 TACOMA BEGAN SPEEDING UP. I HIT THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD, STOPPED THE TACOMA. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PUT THE TACOMA IN PARK. THIS WAS NOT FLOOR MAT RELATED, SINCE THE DEALER DID NOT SUPPLY FLOOR MATS WITH THE TACOMA. I NEVER TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL. I SHOPPED, THEN BROUGHT THE TACOMA TO PAULY TOYOTA, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL, WHERE THE SERVICE DEPT. TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY. THE TRUCK IS 3 WEEKS OLD, LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT. *TR

VISIBILITY
2010 TOYOTA TACOMA BASE MODEL 2 DOOR SMALL PICKUP TRUCK. WHEN DRIVING INTO SUN AND WHEN RAINING WINDSHIELD APPEARS TO BE ETCHED CAUSING A BLINDING GLARE. DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN IT INSIDE AND OUT AND THEN GAVE THE EXPLANATION THAT ALL THE 2010 TACOMAS THEY HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. 2 DIFFERENT DRIVERS OF OUR PARTICULAR TACOMA HAVE BEEN BLINDED BY THIS APPARENT DEFECT WITH CLOSE CALLS RESULTING. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE SLOWING AND MAKING RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS, MY 2010 TACOMA V-6 4X2 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP INTO EITHER NEUTRAL OR FIRST GEAR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS (TYPICALLY 2 OR 3). ENGINE RPM INCREASE AND THEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO THE CORRECT GEAR WITH A LURCH. THIS DEFECT MAKES LEFT TURNS, ACROSS TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS, SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL HAPPEN AND HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO HUNT FOR AND FIND THE "RIGHT" GEAR. I FIRST NOTICE THE ISSUE AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 75 MILES (HAVE A LITTLE OVER 800 MILES NOW). BEEN TO DEALER TWICE. DEMONSTRATED PROBLEM WITH SERVICE MANAGER IN THE TRUCK. HE HAD NO SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. HE "HOPES" TOYOTA WILL COME OUT WITH A FIX. TOYOTA HAS A SIMILAR DEFECT WITH THE 2009 TACOMAS AND ISSUED ON NOVEMBER 3, 2009 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0373-09. BUT TSB ONLY ELIMINATED THE DEFECT IN THE 2009 MODEL. DOES NOT ADDRESS 2010 TRUCKS. THIS DEFECT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE GET INJURED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE SLOWING TO 10-12 MPH MY 2010 TACOMA V-6 4X4 'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP INTO WHAT SEEMS TO BE NEUTRAL FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS. ENGINE RPM'S WILL RISE TO ABOUT 2500-3000 RPM'S BEFORE TRANSMISSION RE-ENGAGES. THIS SITUATION HAS NEARLY GOTTEN ME INVOLVED IN 5 ACCIDENTS. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 150 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN YOU SLOW FOR EITHER A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN OR WHEN YOU SLOW TO 10-12 MPH AND THEN TRY TO RESUME POWER . VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO SELLING DEALER 3 TIMES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BUT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. DEALERS TRANSMISSION MECHANIC WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH ME AND THIS CONDITION WAS DUPLICATED WITHIN 5 MINUTES. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND SO FAR NO FIX HAS BEEN FORTHCOMING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE IS A 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA DBL CAB, THE TRANSMISSION SEARCHES FOR THE RIGHT GEAR TO ACCELERATE IN ONCE THE SPEED GETS 15MPH OR LOWER AND YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE. AT 1ST IT WAS JUST ANNOYING, BUT RECENTLY I WAS TURNING A CORNER AT A SIGNAL LIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER VEH. AND IT SLAMMED ON IT'S BRAKES, I WENT TO GO INTO THE PASSING LANE, BUT WHEN I ACCELERATED, THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T RESPOND, IT JUST REVS UP TRYING TO FIND THE GEAR. BY THE TIME IT DID, I WAS WATCHING IN MY MIRROR AND AN ONCOMING VEHICLE STARTED HITTING THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ME. WHICH WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE IF MY TRUCK WOULD HAVE GONE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME YOU ARE GOING AT A RATE OVER 25 MPH AND SLOW DOWN TO AT LEAST 15 MPH AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. IE: CROSSING HIGHWAYS. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK OCT. 21, 2009 AND HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON NOV 9TH, 2009 WITH THIS ISSUE, THE TECH DROVE IT, ACKNOWLEDGED IT, AND TOLD ME ALL THE NEWER VEHICLES ARE THAT WAY, & HAVE HAD OTHERS COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NOTHING ELSE HAS BEEN DONE TO TRY TO FIX THIS. I BELIEVE THIS COULD LEAD TO POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES, IF NOT WORSE. *TR
