Filed Dec 2, 2019 · Electrical, Transmission · 35,000 miles · MD

While driving under various speeds the truck will violently jolt forward. A stop control malfunction warning appears, the traction control, and the check engine light will illuminate. The truck will immediately enter limp mode which will not allow the truck to shift above 3/4th gear. This issue has occurred 8 times since the vehicle has been purchased and toyota is refusing to cover the repairs under the power train warranty.

I have owned my toyota tacoma for 18 months and my radio has had problems every since I bought it. Toyota supposedly has ran tests on it every time I brought it in at 5,000 mile oil changes and tire rotations. It still randomly cuts off and takes forever to come back on. It also will end a call while I'm on the phone with someone or disconnect my phone while I'm on the phone with someone and won't connect back. Today I took it up there and I just hit 37,000 miles today and now they want to tell me I need a new radio but it's not under warranty after I hit 37,000 miles so I will have to pay for it myself. It is now being taken up with toyota since I have told them about it since I bought the truck.

Pre-collision warning system is faulty. The system engages when nothing is in front of the vehicle to merit warnings or engaging the brakes automatically. However, the system does not engage when the truck is extremely close to the wall of a garage. Unfortunately there is no way to turn off this feature and it will ultimately result in an accident which may be fatal.

Toyota has an issue where there service technitians, dealers and customer service representatives cannot tell the difference between the federal safety agency mandated seat belt indicators and optional indicators. I have reported an issue where the seat will not slide correctly and that the seat belt sensor and optional alert system seems to be malfunctioning. The optional seat belt indicator malfunctions and causes a prolonged audio distraction to the driver that interferes with the roll that other safety features such as reverse sensors, etc. Cannot be distinguished. Toyota allows the dealer to turn off the distracting optional chimes, but the discretion is left to the dealer and not the driver which poses risk to pedestrians, drivers and passengers. The major problem is that the failure to understand the difference between the mandatory alert system and the optional alert system means that dealers are ignoring customer requests to mute the optional alarm increasing the risk of distraction to an unacceptable level.
