| Mar 2021 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | THIS MORNING I ACTIVATED MY CRUISE CONTROL (CC)AS I NORMALLY WOULD AT 55 MPH. IMMEDIATELY MY TRUCK BEGAN ACCELERATING UNTIL I FINALLY DISENGAGED CC WHEN THE SPEED REACHED 83-85 MPH. IT WAS STILL ACCELERATING AT THE TIME I DISENGAGED IT. I ATTEMPTED TO RECREATE THE INCIDENT WITH NO LUCK. BEFORE THE INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING IN A CITY ENVIRONMENT AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 55 MPH, SO THERE WAS NO WAY I HAD PREVIOUSLY SET THE CC TO A HIGH SPEED THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN HAD I HIT RESUME. | Crash: No Fire: No | 10,500 |

TOOK IT IN AND FOUND OUT MY PARTICULAR TRUCK WASN'T RECALLED EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. THEY PUT A FUEL PUMP ON IT. BUT THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE NEWER UPDATED PUMP OR THE OLDER VERSION KNOWN TO HAVE PROBLEMS. SO I'M RIDING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD FAIL ANYTIME. | Crash: No Fire: No | 3,138 |

MARCH 2020.COLORADO MOUNTAINS GETTING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY OFF RAMP WITH A .5PERCENT GRADE DOWNHILL AND 800 LB TRAILER. NO BRAKES AT 60MPH CLEAR SKYS 8PM DRY PAVEMENT.PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED HARDER AND HARDER TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP YET WOULDNT STOP UNTILL I USED EMERGENCY BRAKE. ALMOST LOST CONTROL DUE TO HAVING TO CORRECT WHICH DIRECTION I HAD TO GO SO I WOULDN'T HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME ON THE OFF RAMP. DEALER INSPECTION SAYS NOTHING IT WRONG. 2ND INCIDENT WAS TURNING ON ROUND ABOUT FLAT DRY PAVEMENT 25 MPH. HAD TO USE E BRAKE AGAIN TO AVOID COLLISION DUE TO SOFT PEDAL. BETWEEN 1/3AND 2/3 OF THE DISTANCE TO THE FLOOR THE PEDAL SEEMED NON EXISTANT AGAIN. 3RED 4TH 5TH 6TH AND 7TH INCIDENT.

IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE AND WE HAD BEEN TOLD BOTH TIMES IT WAS THERE THAT WE ARE "USING THE BREAK PEDAL THE WRONG WAY". THIS IS GETTING TO BE SCARY FOR US TO DRIVE SO WE USE THE OTHER CAR TO TAKE THE CHILD PLACES. AT RANDOM THE BRAKES FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL EXTREMELY HARD AND OR TO THE FLOOR HOPING THE TRUCK WILL STOP. REGUARDLESS OF WEATHER, LOAD OR PAVEMENT CONDITIONS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 7,500 |

| Oct 2020 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH IN THE CITY . BRAKES LOCKED AND THE CAR STALLED OFF . I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY TRIED TO INITIATE THE SAME ERROR BUT COULD NOT . | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,000 |
| Oct 2020 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 157 |
| Oct 2020 | SERVICE BRAKES | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 14,000 |
| Sep 2020 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2020 | SEATS | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 TOYOTA TACOMA DRIVEN BY HIS SON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS HIS SON WAS CLEANING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME WAS RUSTED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND THAT THE FAILURE COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SNAP AND CAUSE HIS SON TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE ROSEVILLE TOYOTA DEALER LOCATED AT 700 AUTOMALL DR, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661, WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT SEAT FRAMES TENDED TO RUST OVERTIME HOWEVER, HE PROCEEDED TO INSPECT OTHER TOYOTA TACOMA'S ON THE LOT BUT FOUND NO VEHICLE WITH SIMILAR FAILURES.

| Aug 2020 | SERVICE BRAKES | MY 2020 TOYOTA TACOMA TRUCK I FOUND THAT ,WHEN SITING AT A STOP LIGHT, WITH MODERATE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD SLOWLY GO TO THE FLOOR. 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'. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,200 |
| Aug 2020 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | VEHICLE STALLS WHEN OPERATING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. HAS STALLED OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IN PARKING LOTS. HAS BROKEN DOWN AND REGISTERED FUEL TROUBLE CODES FOUR TIMES IN LESS THAN 90 DAYS. 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,500 |
