2019 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

INITIAL NOTICE OF RECALL IN NOVEMBER 2019, BY PRESS. FAULTY FUEL PUMP CAN LEAD TO VEHICLE STALL AT HIGH SPEED. RESULANT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE INQUIRED NUMEROUS TIMES AT THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN PERSON, BY PHONE, AND EMAIL. NEVER GET THE SAME OR A RESPONSE THAT IS DEFINITIVE...I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS MATTER, I HAVE DECIDED TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE..IT HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS ALREADY AND NOTED SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING, BODY, BRAKES AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL. TO BE BLUNT THIS VEHICLE IS SUBSTANDARD, OVER-PRICED BY TOYOTA AND HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND SALES ARE SHODDY AND DECEPTIVE AT BEST. *TR

PURCHASED 2019 TOYOTA TRUCK / TACOMA 4WD/DBL CB 4W AND WAS ADVISED OF A RECALL ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP. NOW WE DON'T DRIVE IT DUE TO FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT. CAN'T GO OFF ROAD DUE TO FEAR FUEL PUMP FAILURE WHERE WE WOULD BE STRANDED OUT IN DESERT. THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED BASICALLY SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND TOYOTA HAS NO REMEDY AND IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS NOW WAITING FOR THE RECALL ISSUE TO BE REPAIRED.

I LEARNED ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL ON MY TRUCK THROUGH MY INSURANCE APP WHICH SEND ME TO YOUR WEBSITE. THIS RECALL WAS REPORTED TO YOU IN JANUARY 2020, UNTIL THIS DATE 5/13/20 I HAVE NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMUNICATIONS FROM TOYOTA EXPLAINING THE ISSUE THAT COULD BE POTENTIALLY AFFECTING THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. THERE IS STILL NO FIX TO THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. HOW MUCH LONGER BEFORE YOU FORCE TOYOTA TO TAKE ACTION. *TR

ACCELERATION IS OFTEN HESITANT AND JERKY. WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP,TURNING OR DRIVING , I WILL PUSH THE GAS TO ACCELERATE BUT THE TRUCK TAKES ABOUT 2 SECONDS TO FINALLY MOVE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS THE TRACTION CONTROL BECAUSE I TURN TOO FAST. WHEN ASKED ABOUT WHY IT HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHEN AT A STOP OR WHEN I'M DRIVING STRAIGHT, THEY STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW BUT IT WASN'T AN ISSUE SINCE THEIR MECHANICALS COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT OR SAFE IN THIS TRUCK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN IT GETS CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE IT SLAMS THE BRAKES ON. HAS ALSO DONE THIS AT GOING HIGH SPEEDS. *TR
