| May 2019 | POWER TRAIN,WHEELS,SERVICE BRAKES | FROM DAY ONE THE TACOMA VIBRATES AND SHUTTERS WHEN BREAKING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT UNTIL I DROVE 1,500 MILES FIRST. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND IT WAS OK. THE SECOND TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY HAD TO SHAVE THE FRONT ROTORS AND SAND THE BRAKE PADS. THE THIRD TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT HAD DEFECTIVE REAR BENT AXLES AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THOSE COMPONENTS. I UNDERSTAND TOYOTA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THESE ISSUES FOR SEVERAL YEARS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 300 |
| May 2019 | SERVICE BRAKES | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WOULD BE STIFF AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD TRAVEL TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE FAILURE OFTEN OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN IDLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LE BRUN TOYOTA (2435 ROCHESTER RD, CANANDAIGUA, NY 14424 (585) 312-2703) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT AND THE MECHANIC GOT INTO ANOTHER 2019 TOYOTA TACOMA ON THE LOT AND DISCOVERED THAT VEHICLE'S BRAKES DID THE SAME AS HIS VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER TO THE CONTACT. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WENT TO THE DEALER ANOTHER OCCASION AND TEST DROVE ANOTHER 2019 TACOMA WHICH PRESENTED THE SAME BRAKING EXPERIENCE.

| Mar 2019 | SERVICE BRAKES | I HAVE 3500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH THE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGED THE VEHICLE SENSED AN OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN THERE WAS NONE, AND ABRUPTLY SLOWED MY TACOMA DOWN FROM 65 MPH TO LESS THAN 30 MPH. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE ON NJ HIGHWAYS. FORTUNATELY, THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME WAS FAR ENOUGH THAT I WASN'T REAR ENDED. I PULLED OVER AND DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL . I HAVE REPORTED BOTH INCIDENTS TO TOYOTA SERVICE IN GREEN ROOM NJ. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,450 |
| Mar 2019 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I'VE HAD MY TRUCK FOR ABOUT 1000 MILES. FOUR TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED I'VE HAD A VEHICLE PASS ME IN AN ADJACENT LANE, THEN SLOW DOWN TO BELOW MY SPEED. EVERY TIME, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ABRUPTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW MY VEHICLE DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON THEREBY PUTTING ME IN DANGER OR BEING REAR-ENDED. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,000 |
| Mar 2019 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES FAILED.

| Mar 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES | MY NEW 2019 TACOMA 4X4 TRD PRO HAS A TERRIBLE VIBRATION PROBLEM WHEN STOPPING FROM 35 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR. IT FEELS LIKE IT NEEDS A BRAKE JOB? THE VIBRATION STARTS AS YOU ARE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO TAKE IT IN TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM (JAN 26TH, AND FEB 13TH, IT'S STILL AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS? | Crash: No Fire: No | 2 |
| Mar 2019 | SUSPENSION,POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES | WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK AT NORMAL SPEED 45+ MILES AND SLOWING DOWN VEHICLE HAS SEVERE VIBRATION FELT THROUGH OUT THE CAR. IT GETS WORST WHEN BRAKING SLOWLY AS IT COMES TO A STOP. ITS FELT ON THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKE PEDAL, SEATS AS WELL AS THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE TRUCK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S NORMAL BUT I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS ON ANY TOYOTAS. I HAVE WORKED FOR TOYOTA FOR MANY YEARS AND TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP TELLING ME THIS IS NORMAL IS JUST CRAZY. I BELIEVE IT'S COMING FROM THE DRIVE SHAFT OR REAR AXLE AREA BUT BY ME FIXING MY OWN TRUCK IS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE ANYTHING. THEREFORE I AM WRITING TO YOU TO SEE IF YOU CAN TRY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FROM THE DAY 1 OF THE PURCHASE AND GETTING WORSE. THANK YOU | Crash: No Fire: No | 12 |
