2018 Toyota Tacoma complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER KNOB BECAME LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEWART TOYOTA (LOCATED AT 3400 I-145, CORSICANA, TX 75110, (903) 874-6556) AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145.

I WAS DRIVING WITH ALL TSS (TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE) SYSTEMS ENABLED (AS IS THE ONLY DEFAULT SETTING ON THIS TRUCK) WITH THREE PASSENGERS (MY YOUNG FAMILY) AT ABOUT 50 MPH ON A SOMEWHAT CURVY MOUNTAIN ROAD. THE TRUCK'S PCS (PRE COLLISION SYSTEM) SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES ERRONEOUSLY WHEN A CAR (NOT IN MY PATH OR LANE) ON A CURVE WAS SLOWING TO TURN OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE TRUCK DROPPED SPEED RAPIDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY UNTIL I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR HARD, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A REAR END COLLISION HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE BEEN FOLLOWING ME. THE TOYOTA PCS SYSTEM IS NOT READY TO BE USED SAFELY ON PUBLIC ROADS, AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR DISABLED EASILY AS A DEFAULT SETTING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED!

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLE VIBRATES. WAS MADE AWARE THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS DEFECTIVE AND WAS RECALLED BY TOYOTA. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND CONTINUES TO PUT THESE VEHICLES OUT IN PUBLIC WITH NO DISCLOSURE TO THE CONSUMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE SENSOR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTOLAND TOYOTA (170 US 22, SPRINGFIELD, NJ 07081), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

THE 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA HAS A PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM THAT DOES NOTHING MORE THAN BEEP LOUDLY AT THE DRIVER WHEN IT "THINKS" I NEED TO BRAKE. IT IS OVERLY SENSITIVE AND SERVES AS A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION WHENEVER I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AS AN EXAMPLE, ON TIGHT CITY ROADS WITH CARS PARKED ON BOTH SIDES IT DETECTS THE CARS ON BOTH SIDES AND CONSTANTLY GOES OFF. IT DETECTS GUARDRAILS AND SIGNAGE ON CURVES. I WAS TOLD BEFORE I BOUGHT IT THAT IT CAN BE SHUT OFF, BUT THAT WAS NOT REALLY TRUE. IT CAN ONLY BE TURNED OFF FOR THE DURATION OF THE DRIVE. IT RESETS TO ON AT FULL SENSITIVITY WHENEVER I RESTART THE TRUCK. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AS IT DISTRACTS ME IN TRAFFIC AND DRAWS MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND TO THE DASHBOARD EVERY TIME IT BEEPS. SO, I HAVE TO GO INTO THE DASH MENU AND SHUT IF OFF EVERY TIME I START THE CAR, OR I'M FORCED TO FIDDLE WITH IT ON THE FLY IN TRAFFIC. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE TO PUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN A VEHICLE AND NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER THE OPTION TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE IT. I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA (CASE#1807122684) AND TOLD THEM THAT THIS REPRESENTS A SERIOUS DEFECT/DESIGN FLAW AND THAT EVENTUALLY IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE ME OR SOMEONE ELSE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THEY DIDN'T CARE. THEY MAINTAIN THAT SOMEHOW CONSTANTLY DISTRACTING THE DRIVER IS A SAFETY FEATURE AND THAT THE TRUCK IS SUPPOSED TO DO THIS. AS MORE OF THESE FEATURES BECOME STANDARD THE NTSB HAS TO REGULATE THEM AND FORCE MANUFACTURERS TO CONSIDER THAT NOT ALL DRIVERS ARE THE SAME. THERE ARE PEOPLE

BOUGHT TRUCK BRAND NEW. WITHIN A COUPLES OF WEEKS NOTICED RANDOM SHUDDERING VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE NOT AROUND 35-45 MPH. TOOK IT TO TOYOTA. THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT IMITATE THE ISSUE. SHUDDERING IS WORSE AND CONSISTENT AROUND 35-50 MPH. CURRENTLY AROUND 2000 MILES ON ODOMETER. SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPT WITH TOYOTA THIS WEEK.

AROUND 12:30PM ON 6/28 MY TOYOTA TACOMA 2018 VIN# [XXX] STARTED TO BLINK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IT WAS FOLLOW BY THE ENGINE SHAKING AND NOT TAKING GEARS UP THEREFORE VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATING UP TO THE 40MPH. SEEING ALL THIS I DECIDED TO HEAD TO THE DEALERSHIP BIG HORN IN GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO AT ABOUT 1:00PM FROM MY HOUSE IN BASALT, CO. BUT AS THE PROBLEM PERSISTED I HAD TO STOP IN EL JEBEL, CO AND CALL BOTH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO RECEIVE SERVICE FROM BOB ADAMS TRUCKING RESULTED IN A TWO HOUR WASTE OF TIME, BY THEM CANCELING SERVICE AND SAYING IT WAS ME WHO CANCEL. BY THIS TIME I ALREADY SPOKE TO BOTH DAWN AT SERVICE AND GUEST RELATIONS. 3:30 HOURS HAVE PASSED BY AND HERE I AM STILL SITTING BY THE SIDE OF A DANGEROUS BUSY HIGHWAY STARVING AND THIRSTY IN A 95 DEGREES SUMMER DAY AND TOYOTA HAS NOT STILL DO THE BEST THEY CAN TO TAKE ME OUT OF THIS SITUATION. A BRAND NEW $38,000 TRUCK THAT I HAVEN?T EVEN MAKE THE FIRST PAYMENT IS STUCK IN THE ROAD. MY TRUST AND LOVE FOR THE BRAND AND ITS SERVICES HAS BEEN LOST. HOW CAN I TRUST TO DRIVE MY FAMILY SAFE THINKING IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD THAT THIS CAN POSSIBLY HAPPEN AGAIN? VALLEY TOWING 24HR IS FINALLY HERE TO PICK UP THE TRUCK AT 4:30PM ALMOST 4 HOURS AFTER I MADE MY FIRST CALL TO TOYOTA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. 3 DAYS HAS PASSED BY AND THEY STILL HAVE THE TRUCK IN THE DEALER NOT KNOWING WHAT IS THE PROBLEM.
