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. THE HQ CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE ADVOCATE PROVIDED THE SAME RESPONSE. SPECIFICALLY, NOTHING FURTHER CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE SINCE THE PART IS BEING DEVELOPED. ON 17 AUG, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. I IMMEDIATELY REACHED OUT TO ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED FOR TWO HOURS IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS LOADED AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE NOW RESIDES AT THE CAVENDER TOYOTA DEALER'S PARKING LOT WHERE IT SITS WITH OTHER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, UNTIL THE PART IS PRODUCED/SHIPPED AND CAN BE FIXED. ON 18 AUG 2020, I PROVIDED AN UPDATE TO HQ TOYOTA ON MY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND SAFETY CONCERNS. THEY REITERATED NOTHING FURTHER CAN BE DONE AT THIS TIME.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET THAT LEADS TO MY HOUSE WHEN MY TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT'S SAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY OR THE PUBLIC FOR THAT VEHICLE TO BE OUT ON THE ROAD.

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. THE DEALER HAS ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART AND PROVIDED A RENTAL VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE. I WAS INFORMED EVERYTHING WOULD BE A WARRANTY COVERED REPAIR.

TRUCK IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN TOYOTA SERVICE LOT FOR NEXT 2 MONTHS DUE TO FUEL PUMP RECALL. TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AND WILL DIE ANYWHERE RANDOMLY THEY HAVE NO FIX UNTIL END OF SEPTEMBER 2020 WHEN PARTS COME IN. WISH THEY WOULD BUY IT BACK, SO THAT I CAN GO BUY A DEPENDABLE TRUCK INSTEAD OF SENDING LOAN PAYMENTS TO A TRUCK THAT'S NOT IN MY POSSESSION FOR OVER 2 MONTHS
