2018 Toyota Tacoma complaints

GOT A RECALL FORM TOYOTA BACK IN JANUARY ON A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AND HERE IT IS IN SEPT AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THERE IS A FIX

DESIGN DEFECT RESULTING IN INABILITY TO OPEN HOOD. BATTERY FAILED (SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY) BUT COULD NOT OPEN HOOD TO JUMP START. TOW OPERATOR COULD NOT OPEN HOOD EITHER, SO VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. PER DEALER EMPLOYEE, DESIGN DEFECT RESULTS IN HOOD BUMPERS EASILY GOING OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, PREVENTING ABILITY TO OPEN HOOD. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IN A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT WHEN FUEL IS OR MAY BE LEAKING, THE BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED TO PREVENT A FIRE, ESPECIALLY WHEN OCCUPANTS ARE STUCK IN WRECKAGE PENDING EMS ARRIVAL. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME, LIKELY SAVING LIVES AND CERTAINLY PREVENTING CATASTROPHIC BURNS. THE BUMPER IS CLEARLY DESIGNED THIS WAY AS A COST-SAVINGS MEASURE, SO THAT THE BUMPER CAN BE USED FOR VARIOUS MODELS AND MAKES. THE BUMPER'S DESIGN HAS ALMOST UNLIMITED ADJUSTMENT, AND EASILY COMES OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. THIS DEFECT CAN BE EASILY CORRECTED BY SECURING THESE BUMPERS WITH AN ADHESIVE OR OTHER MEANS.

A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP ON MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA WAS IDENTIFIED IN EARLY 2020. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 2020 AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE CAN BE SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME I CONTINUE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR STALL OR POSSIBLE CRASH IF THE ENGINE QUITS.

SAFETY ISSUE WITH FUEL PUMP. STALLS WHILE IM DRIVING. WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT IT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO BUT HAVENT HEARD ANYTHING ELSE.

THE CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. AS I TURNED THE WHEEL AS IT WAS IN REVERSE THE CAR BEGAN TO ACT WEIRD AND THE BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO WORK. I PUMPED THE BRAKES 3 TIMES, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AND THE CAR PARKED BEHIND ME WAS HIT. I WAS GOING SLOW WHEN I REVERSED, HOWEVER MY WHOLE BUMPER SNAPPED OFF AND MY TAILLIGHT SHATTERED. THE TRUCK SEEMED TO HAVE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING USED....THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK JUST FINE AFTER, HOWEVER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WEREN'T ANY CODES INDICATING A LOSS OF BRAKES. THERE WAS NO FLUID OR LEAKAGE ON THE COMPARTMENT EITHER. EVERYTHING WAS FINE I WAS TOLD, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ADD UP FOR ME. THIS TRUCK WAS SECOND-HAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP, SO I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS PART OF THE TRUCKS THAT HAD A RECALL ON BRAKES. THE CURRENT RECALL ON IT HAD TO DO WITH THE PUMP WHICH THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR.

VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING. IS THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP. THAT NEEDS REPLACING. I GET WARNING LIGHTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. I ALSO GET A LOW FUEL PRESSURE LIGHT THAT ALSO GOES ON. I'VE GOTTEN THE RECALL NOTICE A YEAR AGO. AND EVERY TIME I GO TO TOYOTA FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY SAY THAT THERE'S NO FIX YET FOR THE PROBLEM. ITS BEEN A YEAR ALREADY. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR . FOR ME TO STALL WHILE AM DRIVING AND KILL SOMEONE OR ME. UNACCEPTABLE , AM SICK AND TIRED OF TALKING TO THE DEALER. THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO ATTENTION OF FIXING THIS DANGEROUS RECALL

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS LOST POWER AND STARTED IDLING VERY LOW IN TRAFFIC. THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN RECALL FOR SEVERAL MONTHS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND TOYOTA HAS NOT FIXED IT.

THE TRUCK HESITATES AT LOWER RPMS AND FEELS VERY SLUGGISH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! SEVEN MONTHS IS TO LONG!

IN AUGUST 2018, I PURCHASED NEW, A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA SR5, 4 DOOR, 2 WHEEL DRIVE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS/DELAYS/STAGGERS AT SPEEDS OF MID-30'S, MID-40'S, AND AROUND 65 MPH. THIS STARTED AROUND 8000 MILES. OCCURS WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR 8 ASSESSMENTS OR REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE. RECENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT CHANGE GEARS UNTIL 4000 RPMS WHILE I WAS PULLING A SMALL UTILITY TRAILER. WE HAD TO TRAVEL AT LESS THAN SAFE HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNTIL PULLING OVER. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM IS CONSTANT AND REPRODUCIBLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THIS HAPPENS IN SOME, BUT NOT ALL 2018 TACOMAS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THERE IS A FUEL PUMP RECALL, THE FUEL PUMP DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND MAY RESULT IN A CRASH. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO FIX ISSUE IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 7 MONTHS.

IN JANUARY 2020 NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS OF CERTAIN VEHICLES THAT MAY HAVE LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ISSUES. IN MAY 2020 I WAS NOTICED MY MAIL THAT MY 2018 TACOMA TRUCK WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE SAFETY RECALL FOR A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM AND THAT A REMEDY WOULD COME SOON. TOYOTA STATES THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 2020. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE VEHICLES WITH FUEL PUMPS. ARE THOSE FUEL PUMPS HAVING NO ISSUES? IF SO, THEN HOW ABOUT REPLACING FUELS PUMPS OF EXISTING CUSTOMER VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

II BOUGHT THE 1998 TACOMA AT THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JOHNSON CITY, TN. IN NOV 2019--I SUSPECT THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT IT . I AM 64 YEARS OLD AND TAKING THE TRUCK ON A VACATION FROM JOHNSON CITY TO EMERALD ISLE N.C. IN AUGUST 2020--VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING ON THIS TRIP--I ALSO THOUGHT I HAD A WONDERFUL TRUCK AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED HAVING TO DRIVE IT WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE-THIS HAPPENED WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ONE DAY IN NOV. 2019

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.

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE I85 IN ATLANTA GEORGIA AND MY VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP

RUNS ROUGH, FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL WHEN I ACCELERATE. SPORADIC

I HAVE A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH AN OPEN RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. THE SAFETY RISK IS THAT THE VEHICLE MAY STALL AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS RECALL CAME OUT IN JANUARY 13, 2020, BUT THERE STILL ISN'T A REMEDY TO THE ISSUE. MY DAILY COMMUTE IS ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES ONE WAY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY TOYOTA TACOMA AS THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER. IT IS NOW APRIL 1, 2020 AND TOYOTA HAS YET TO RELEASE ANY FIX OR REMEDY TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY RECALL. HOW LONG DOES TOYOTA HAVE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE AND WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AT THIS POINT WITH THE VEHICLE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHNSTONS TOYOTA LOCATED AT (5021 NY-17M, NEW HAMPTON, NY 10958) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT A CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,100.

AFTER SITTING OUT IN SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO START DUE TO APPARENT FUEL STARVATION. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS,AND REPEATED DEPRESSION ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL,FUEL WAS EVENTUALLY DELIVERED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA OFFERING ME $100 BECAUSE THEY 'ACCIDENTALLY' MISREPRESENTED THE SAFETY RATINGS OF MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE LETTER STATES THAT THE RATINGS WHICH WERE 4 AND 5 STARS ON THE WINDOW STICKER FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION HAVE BASICALLY BEEN ALL CHANGED TO NOT RATED. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE ONE OF THE REASONS I CHOSE THE VEHICLE WAS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY RATING BY YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. NOW THERE ARE NO RATINGS OTHER THAN ROLLOVER WHICH IS RATED AT 4 STARS. I'VE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE WINDOW STICKER WITH VIN NUMBER BLOCK AS REQUESTED AS WELL AS THE PORTION OF THE LETTER THEY SENT. I CAN PROVIDE COPIES OF BOTH UPON REQUEST.. I'M SURE YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND A CALL TO TOYOTA WAS UNEVENTFUL AS THEY TRIED TO OFFER ME $100 TO OVERLOOK THIS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE IN THIS MATTER.

THE VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS AS IF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS CUTTING THROTTLE INPUT FOR 1-2 SECONDS. THIS OCCURS IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. SPECIFICALLY, IF ACCELERATING TO 10-15 MILES PER HOUR, THEN STOPPING, THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THE TRUCK SUFFERS AN ENGINE STALL. THE TRACTION CONTROL DASHBOARD INDICATOR DOES NOT LIGHT UP DURING THIS OCCURRENCE; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE PERFORMS VERY SIMILAR TO INSTANCES WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL DOES OPERATE. THE STALL ALSO OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN INTO DRIVEWAYS, ETC. THERE IS NO REQUIRED INTERVENTION TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE; IT SIMPLY LASTS 1-2 SECONDS, THEN OPERATES AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS (BOTH TOYOTA). NEITHER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY ERROR CODES AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT REQUIRED SERVICE. THIS EVENT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST 30 DAYS (DECEMBER 2019-JANUARY 2020).

THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) ENGAGES WHEN ROAD SURFACES ARE SNOWY OR SLICK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I CANNOT STOP THE VEHICLE WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE. THE ABS TAKES OVER AND THE CAR COASTS INDEFINITELY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN 40 YEARS OF DRIVING, AND HAVE NOW HAD THREE NEAR MISSES OVER THE LAST TWO WINTERS DUE TO THE ABS.

MY 2018 TACOMA HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, THEN THE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING AND ENGINE RUNS ROUGH. WHEN DRIVING, VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGINS FLASHING. WHEN IDLING, ENGINE RUNS WITH WITH A MISS, AND WHEN DRIVING, AT LOWER SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AS IF ITS LOSING POWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT A VEHICLE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LANE ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ALSO WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL WRIGHT TOYOTA LOCATED AT 5100 GASOLINE ALLEY DR, BAKERSFIELD, CA 93313, (661)398-8697, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TAKOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING, A WARNING MESSAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STATED THAT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME. THE VEHICLE LOST MOTIVE POWER. MARIETTA TOYOTA (750 COBB PKWY S, MARIETTA, GA 30060, (470)938-8430) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,039.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, AFTER THE VEHICLE COMES TO A CRAWL OR STOP AND THEN I ACCELERATE TO TURN LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE HESITATES FOR 1 TO 2 SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING. I TOOK MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA TO MY DEALER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A RE-SET OR UPGRADE TO THE COMPUTER HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION OF THIS ISSUE AT HTTPS://WWW.TACOMAWORLD.COM/THREADS/3RD-GEN-STALLING-IN-INTERSECTION-UPDATE.459540/.
