Potential Consequences:
I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2020 TACOMA SR5, AND IT HAS VERY POOR ACCELERATION WHEN PASSING OTHER VEHICLES. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DEAD SPOT WHEN ACCELERATING. IT SEAMS TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION DELAYED SHIFTING RESPONSE TIME WHEN DRIVING. I CONSIDER THIS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. IT RUNS WORSE THAN MY OLD CAR. IT RUNS LIKE ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE DIRTY. ALSO, A FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE THAT HAD A BIT OF AN INCLINE FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES, AND WHEN I PULLED OUT AND PLACED MY GEAR IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED BADLY AND WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN. I ONLY KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT VEHICLES, BUT I KNOW THIS NEW 2020 V6 SR5 TOYOTA TACOMA THAT I JUST BOUGHT IS NOT RIGHT. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT A RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THESE PROBLEMS ARE ALL OR IN PART COMING FROM A POOR FUEL PUMP. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE NEW 2020 TACOMA'S ARE NOT PART OF THE FUEL PUMP RECALL. I FEAR THIS VEHICLES POOR PERFORMANCE WILL PLACE ME AT AN INCREASE RISK OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION OR THE LIKE. I HOPE YOU (THE READER) PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO THE APPROPRIATE CHANNELS IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFE AGAIN.

Potential Consequences:
I OWN A 2020 TACOMA WITH 14K MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND I WENT TO HIT MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO GET PARTIAL BRAKES BY PUMPING THEM UP LIKE WHEN YOU ARE BLEEDING NEW BRAKES. TOOK TRUCK TO TOYOTA AND THEY HAD IT FOR 10 DAYS. THERE WAS A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. IF THIS SCENARIO WOULD HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY THE END RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THE TOYOTA SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE AND THEY HAD ENGINEERS HAVE THEM RUN TESTS ON THE PART WHILE ON MY TRUCK SO THEY COULD FIND OUT WHY IT HAPPENED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
WHILE DRIVING AND APPLYING MY BRAKES THEY DO NOT ALWAYS SEEM LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO STOP ME IN TIME. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE IS GRABBING AND THE STOP IS JERKY AND NOT SMOOTH. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE SPED UP ON IT'S OWN TO RESUME PREVIOUS SPEED SO IT APPEARS THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DISENGAGE WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. I FIRST NOTICED A BRAKING ISSUED WHEN I STARTED DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2020. THOUGHT PERHAPS I JUST HAD TO BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING THE PAST 2 1/2 MONTHS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED SO I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT TO BE LOOKED AT. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALERSHIP AND NOW HAS ABOUT 3500 MILES ON IT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO SERVICE DEPT IN GETTLE TOYOTA ON CORTEZ RD IN BRADENTON FL ON 9/18/20 AND THEY SAID BASICALLY "IT'S THE NATURE OF THE BEAST. THEY TESTED IT AND THOUGHT AT FIRST THE BRAKES SEEMED REALLY SENSITIVE BUT THEN COMPARED IT TO A TEST DRIVE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE LOT AND DETERMINED THAT'S JUST HOW THE TRUCK IS. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE. AFTER SPENDING OVER $40,000 ON A TRUCK I'D LIKE TO FEEL SAFE. ALWAYS THOUGHT TOYOTA STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS BUT NOW NOT SO SURE. IF YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY CONCERN, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

TOOK THE TRUCK TO CHECKERED FLAG TOYOTA, 5301 VIRGINIA BEACH BLVD, VIRGINIA FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD THAT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WAS 'NORMAL' FOR THIS TRUCK. SHOP FOREMAN SAID THAT THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR WAS 'NORMAL FOR THIS TRUCK'. I ASKED TO TALK TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE REGION BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR WAS A MALFUNCTION OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND NOT NORMAL. WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT THE TOYOTA SERVICE REP BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT THE WAY WE DO THINGS. A BRAKE SYSTEM THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL CANNOT KEEP PRESSURE AND GOES TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED CANNOT BE 'NORMAL'.

WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS IT HAS REGISTERED THE P08700 AND P0017100 CODES FOR LOW FUEL PRESSURE. DEALER HAS REPLACED HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS AND PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION BECAUSE THE DRIVER LOSES ALL POWER AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESTART. THE DRIVER HAS TO LOOK FOR A PLACE TO 'DITCH' OR PUSH OUT OF TRAFFIC. IT HAS BLOCKED TRAFFIC DURING STALLING EPISODES, CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN.
