I HAVE BEEN RUNNING THE SAME WHEELS AND TIRES ON THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW, RUNNING 17" ALUMINUM WHEELS WITH A 10- PLY RATED 265/70/17 MICHELIN LT WHICH IS A STANDARD SIZE FOR THIS VEHICLE. AT ABOUT 47,000 MILES THE TRACTION CONTROL ON MY TACOMA STARTED ACTING UP BADLY MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON MOUNTAIN ROADS WITH SUPER-ELEVATED TURNS. BASICALLY THE TRUCK THINKS IT IS SLIDING WHEN IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BREAKING LOOSE AT 35 MPH. THE SENSORS OR COMPUTER IS FAILING CAUSING THE RIGHT FRONT OR LEFT FRONT WHEEL TO PULSE (APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE) WHICH RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE PULLING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION I AM STEERING. THIS IS AT LOW SPEED 35 TO 40 MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE IS 'PULLING ME ACROSS THE CENTER LINE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WHICH COULD CAUSE A HEAD ON COLLISION AND I GOT NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN " IF MY SHOP FOREMAN TELLS ME THE TRUCK IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED THERE IS NOTHING MORE WE CAN DO OR YOU. WHEN I CALLED IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE MANAGER AND SHOP FOREMAN AT NORTHRIDGE TOYOTA, I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO ERRORS SO THE TRUCK IS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED' AND THEIR SUGGESTION WAS TO DEACTIVATE THE TRACTION CONTROL FROM NOW ON, EACH TIME I DRIVE A MOUNTAIN ROAD. I EXPLAINED THAT THEY WERE ASKING ME TO DEACTIVATE THE ON BOARD SAFETY MEASURES ON THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE TRUCK IN THE HIGHEST RISK DRIVING CONDITIONS, THEY AGAIN SAID THE TRUCK WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED AND THAT I SHOULD NOT EXPECT THEIR TO BE ANY REPAIRS MADE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE. THEY WENT ON TO SUGGEST I SEEK A SECOND OPINION AT ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SENT ME DOWN THE ROAD IN MY TRUCK EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM THE SYMPTOMS, DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM WITH SHOP FOREMAN IN THE TRUCK AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THAT THE TRUCK WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FASCINATING!!!

THE TRUCK SHUDDERS OR VIBRATES WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. THE SOURCE OF THE SHUDDER APPEARS TO BE THE DRIVE SHAFT AND CARRIER BEARING. TOYOTA HAS INCLUDED THIS MODEL IN THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE SHUDDER. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA FAIL TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK BEFORE THEY SELL IT TO A SUCKER LIKE ME. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT END WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGH SPEEDS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD THE TECHNICIANS GO THROUGH THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. THE TECHNICIANS CONFIRMED THE SHUDDER, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FROM A COMPANY LIKE TOYOTA. THIS ISSUE QUALIFIES UNDER THE "LEMON LAW", BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL. I AM GOING THROUGH THE LEMON LAW PROCESS NOW TO TRY TO GET MY HARD-EARNED MONEY BACK. I AM GOING TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TOYOTA TRUCKS. ADDITIONALLY, THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE TOYOTA TUNDRA 4X4. *TR

The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while in reverse and attempting to park the engine RPMs suddenly increased while pressing the brake pedal and the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration causing the driver to lose control of the steering. During the incident, the vehicle crashed into two separate vehicles and a restaurant building serving outside diners. The contact was eventually able to switch gears causing the vehicle to drive forward before turning the engine off and stopping. The contact indicated that the brake pedal was being pressed at the time of the failure but the vehicle continued to accelerate. The driver sustained a mild head injury and one diner was also injured. No further information was available. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the incident. The failure mileage was 75,000.

This issue has been ongoing. Taken into local Toyota dealer and was told they needed to replace entire rack and pinion at a cost of nearly $1500. Three days after picking up it is doing same thing. While steering around corner it will temporarily lock and suddenly it feels like it has no power steering. I am getting nothing but the run around from Wooster Toyota. My wife very nearly was in an accident because of this. This truck only has 80000 miles. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2013 TOYOTA TACOMA VIN [XXX]: ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY RELIABLE OTHERWISE, THERE ARE THREE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH MY VEHICLE: 1. THE VEHICLE CAN EXPERIENCE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, NOTED ESPECIALLY WHILE IDLING. THE SET IDLE SPEED, WHICH THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME CONFORMS TO MANUFACTURER'S GUIDELINES, IS VERY HIGH, AND WHEN AT A STOP SIGN OR OTHER STOP, IT CAN SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD. THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, WHICH MAY BE LINKED TO IDLING WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ON, IS VERY ALARMING. IN ONE INSTANCE, LINKED TO WHAT I DESCRIBE IN ITEM 2, I BELIEVE THIS WAS A CONTRIBUTOR TO A CRASH INTO MY GARAGE, CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE. 2. THE FLOOR MATS, WHICH WERE A MANUFACTURER'S ACCESSORY FOR THE VEHICLE, CAN EASILY BECOME DETACHED FROM THEIR EYELET HOOKS, AND MAY THEN SLIP UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS WAS ALSO A LIKELY CONTRIBUTOR TO THE ACCIDENT DESCRIBED ABOVE. 3. THE SUN VISOR RETAINING BRACKET NO LONGER WORKS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND IT NO LONGER HAS THE REQUIRED TENSION TO HOLD IT UP. THE BRACKET ASSEMBLY IS A CHEAP PLASTIC BRACKET. I?M SURE TOYOTA CAN COME UP WITH SOME FIX AND CHANGE THIS FOR FUTURE MODELS.

ON AUGUST 17, 2019, I HAD BEEN STOPPED AT A DRIVE THROUGH FAST FOOD RESTAURANT WHEN I HEARD A HISSING SOUND AND WHAT LOOKED LIKE STEAM COMING FROM THE REAR UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY TRUCK. IT WAS NOTICEABLE ENOUGH TO HAVE ME GET DOWN AND PHYSICALLY LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT SEE ANY OBVIOUS SIGNS OF DAMAGE OR ERROR, SO I WENT ABOUT MY DAY AS USUAL. I HAVE NOTICED SINCE THEN, THIS NOISE HAPPENS SPORADICALLY AND THE A/C IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I PARKED THE TRUCK FOR THREE WEEKS AND WHEN I WENT TO START THE TRUCK, A BUNCH OF INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WERE FLASHING, WIPERS WERE WIPING AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE FLASHING OFF AND ON. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO START AGAIN, BUT IT WOULD NOT START SO I HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY CHARGED. NOW THE VEHICLE'S REAR BLINKERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND STEREO WILL NOT TURN ON. FUSES SEEM ALRIGHT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE THAT CONTINUOUSLY POPS WHEN REPLACED (FUSE FOR STEREO).

TAKATA RECALL - ERROR CODE P2437 AND P2438. MY TRUCK HAS 76000 MILES ON IT AND IS NOW IN LIMP MODE. IT WAS VERY SCARY WHEN IT WENT THERE ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE SEEN ONLINE THIS PROBLEM EXISTING ON OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES AND THEY HAVE RECALLS, BUT NOT THE TACOMA. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE TRUCK WON'T GO ABOVE 45 MPH AND THE TRAC LIGHT IS ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT JUST... HAPPENED. LOOK INTO THIS COMMON PROBLEM PLEASE AND ADDRESS IT CORRECTLY.
