| Mar 2021 | SERVICE BRAKES | MULTIPLE OCCURANCES - 2019 TACOMA 42XXX MILES AND ON THE 3RD ISSUE OF WARPING FRONT ROTORS. VEHICLE IS HIGHWAY DRIVEN PRIMARILY AND ROTORS WARP AND CAUSE SHAKING WHILE BRAKING AT OR AROUND 3000 MILES AFTER HAVING THEM CUT OR REPLACED. SHAKING IS VIOLENT WHEN SLOWING FROM 65-70MPH AND LIGHTLY PRESENT DURRING CITY DRIVING.

ON PAST VEHICLE THE CONCERN WAS RESOLVED BY SWITCHING TO A NON OEM ROTOR.

| Dec 2020 | SERVICE BRAKES | MY 2019 TACOMA 4X4 DBL CAB SR5 HAS 22000 MILES ON IT AND HAS A HISTORY OF THE BRAKES PULSING. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AT 5K AND 11K MILES, AND NOW AGAIN AT 22K MILES. AT EACH SERVICE APPOINTMENT I COMPLAINED THAT THE BRAKES PULSE BADLY, AND THEY CONFIRM THAT THE ROTORS AND BACK DRUMS ARE WARPED. SO THEY REPLACE THE ROTORS & DRUMS, AND THE PROBLEM IS RELIEVED FOR A TIME, BUT THE PULSING COMES BACK WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. I KEEP TELLING THE SERVICE PEOPLE THAT THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENT PROBLEM CAUSING THE BRAKES TO WARP BUT THEY JUST SHRUG IT OFF. | Crash: No Fire: No | 22,000 |

| Dec 2020 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | UNPROMPTED ACCELERATION - WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 15 MPH IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, I ACCELERATED BRIEFLY AND THEN LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND EVEN DOWNSHIFTED, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LURCH FORWARD. CONDITIONS - I WAS IN LIGHT TO MODERATE TRAFFIC ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK. THE TRAFFIC WAS STOP-AND-GO. THE CARS AHEAD OF ME ACCELERATED, SO I DID AS WELL. THE CARS AHEAD OF ME QUICKLY DECELERATED, SO I LET OFF THE GAS BUT DID NOT NEED TO BRAKE AS I WAS A SAFE DISTANCE. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WELL AFTER I LET OFF THE GAS AND IT LURCHED FORWARD AND DOWNSHIFTED IN THE PROCESS. THE ENGINE RPM WENT TO ABOUT 3,500. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE, AND THE ACCELERATION STOPPED AND THE ENGINE WENT BACK TO IDLE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED DECELERATION LAG IN MANY VEHICLES, BUT IN THIS CASE, IT WAS A SURGE, NOT A LAG. IT WAS LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO THINK OF SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 13,735 |
