| Aug 2020 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | IN FEB 2019, I PURCHASED A NEW TOYOTA TACOMA FROM CAVENDER TOYOTA, LOCATED IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. IN LESS THAN TWO (2) YEARS AND WITH ONLY 7,084 MILES, I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES PERTAINING TO ITS RADAR SENSOR SYSTEM AND FUEL PUMP. THE FORMER ALERTS THE DRIVER WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OBSTACLE IS TOO CLOSE; THE REMEDY WAS INSTALLED BY THE DEALER THIS YEAR. THE LATTER REMAINS AND IS STILL PENDING DEVELOPMENT/DELIVERY BY HEADQUARTERS (HQ) TOYOTA PROJECTED FOR LATE SEP 2020. IN THE INTERIM, THE RISK IS THE 2019 TOYOTA TACOMA CAN STALL WHILE DRIVING. ON 6 AUG 2020, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE EXITING MY DRIVE WAY. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND MANAGER ADVISED NOTHING CAN BE DONE SINCE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THEY SAID THE RISK IS THE TRUCK MAY STALL AGAIN AND TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE IT TOWED. THEY ALSO STATED THE FUEL PUMP RECALL PERTAINS TO THE TOYOTA TACOMA, COROLLA, SIENNA, AND HIGHLANDER. DUE TO SAFETY HAZARD POSED AND MY DISSATISFACTION WITH THE RESPONSES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND MANAGER, THEY RECOMMENDED CONTACTING HQ TOYOTA TO RELAY MY VIEWS. ON 7 AUG, I DID SO.

| Aug 2020 | SERVICE BRAKES | WHEN DRIVING MY 2019 TOYOTA TACOMA (APPROX. 6900 MILES) I NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE NOT FIRM AFTER INITIAL APPLICATION. THE PEDAL THEN WOULD SLOWLY SINK TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING POWER WAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED THAT TIME. I PUMPED THE BRAKE AND ACHIEVED BETTER BRAKING RESULT BUT WHEN CONSTANT PRESSURE WAS APPLIED THE BRAKING RESULT DIMINISHED VERY QUICKLY. THIS CONTINUED DURING ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. TO ME IT VERY CLOSELY RESEMBLED A MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER SEAL FAILURE, WHICH I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH VEHICLES IN THE PAST. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND OPERATED THE BRAKES IN A STATIONARY POSITION AND THE SAME SYMPTOMS OCCURRED. THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR WAS AT THE CORRECT LEVEL AND DID NOT VARY. I WAS ABLE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE TECHNICIAN BELIEVED THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAULTY.

| Jul 2020 | POWER TRAIN | PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 10/19/19. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING: IN THE DRIVE MODE, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DOWN-SHIFT PROPERLY (A LAG) TO LOWER GEARS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM HIGHER SPEEDS(50-60 MPH) TO LOWER SPEEDS (30-40 MPH). IT STAYS IN 5TH OR 6TH GEAR TOO LONG, CAUSING THE TRUCK/TRANSMISSION TO "LUG" DOWN WITH SOME ENGINE "MISSING" BEFORE IT FINALLY DOWNSHIFTS AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE TO DRIVE IN THE SPORT MODE AND MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS REGULARLY TO CIRCUMVENT THIS PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS ARE NOT SET CORRECTLY, AND/OR THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER STAYS ENGAGED/LOCKED IN TOO LONG AT HIGHER GEARS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO LOWER SPEEDS. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO TRANSMISSION BEARING FAILURES AND SAFETY PROBLEMS IF THE TRANSMISSION-ENGINE STARTS TO STALL/CUT OUT.
