2010 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE DRIVER STATED THAT SHE WAS AT A STOP SIGN WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INTO AN INTERSECTION. THE DRIVER ALSO STATED THAT SHE HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE DRIVER HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL GEAR AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,100.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE DRIVER STATED THAT HE WAS DRIVING IN A LARGE PARKING LOT AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH INTO A PARKING SPACE. THE DRIVER WAS COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND ENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE COLUMN. HE WAS NOT INJURED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,200.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA PICKUP TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER STALLING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT RODENTS CRAWLED INTO THE VEHICLE AND WERE CHEWING ON THE WIRES UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT HE FOUND A RODENT "NEST" IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THAT HE SHOULD CONTACT SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PEST PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 160,000.

THE TRACTION CONTROL ON MY 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA DOES NOT WORK. IT DOES NOT REDUCE THE THROTTLE AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO. WHEN ON A PATCH OF ICE OR SLICK ROAD THE TIRES AND THROTTLE JUST CONTINUE TO ENGAGE. THE STABILITY CONTROL FINALLY ENGAGES BUT STILL DOES NOT REDUCE THE THROTTLE RESPONSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 TACOMA TUNDRA. HE STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BACAUSE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS TO CLOSE TOO THE BREAK PEDAL. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, THAT IS THE WAY THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 900.

THE VEHICLE SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY. ONE OR MORE TIMES A DAY, DEPENDING ON TRAVEL NEEDS, I EXPERIENCE SURGES BOTH AT COMPLETE STOPS AND WHEN ACCELERATING. DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FROM A STOP OR ROLL INCLUDES A "DELAY" IN RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE, THEN THE UNEXPECTED SURGE IS NOTICED. GENERALLY, A SMALL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL DOES NOT YIELD A DESIRED ACCELERATION EFFECT, INSTEAD A "WAIT AND GO" EFFECT IS EXPERIENCED. SEVERAL TIMES, THIS DELAY HAS CAUSED NEAR MISSES IN TERMS OF ACCIDENTS. EXPECTING THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR PRESSURE BUT NOT GETTING ACCELERATION IS CONSIDERED HAZARDOUS. SURGING FORWARD VIOLENTLY WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP IS ANOTHER CONCERN. WITH THE BRAKES COMPLETELY DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WILL SURGE FORWARD AT MOST TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE WITH MY CONCERNING OF SHIFTING AND SOMETIME ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. THE DEALERSHIP DID LITTLE MORE THAN TAKE A SHORT TEST DRIVE WITH ME (NO DIAGNOSTICS, NO FORMAL OR MECHANICAL EVALUATION), AND TELL ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT, NOW WITH 2600 MILES, THE PROBLEMS PERSIST. *TR

I WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH WHEN I HAD TO STOP BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT THAT HAD STOPPED. STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR STOPPED & THEN JERKED FORWARD. CAME CLOSE TO HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHILE DRIVING INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE GARAGE. HE HAD BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED ACCELERATING. A TOYOTA MANUFACTURER TECHNICIAN EXAMINED THE BRAKES SYSTEM ALTHOUGH THE CONTACT INFORMED HIM THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE BRAKES. THE REPRESENTATIVE REMOVED THE FLOOR MATS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

MY 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA ENGINE TRY TO ACCELERATE BY IT SELF WHILE STOP AT A RED LIGHT. MY WIFE HELD HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP IT FROM RUNNING INTO THE INTERSECTION THE TIRE WERE SPINNING WHILE IT WAS SITTING STILL.ALSO MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SLIP WHEN I GIVE IT GAS BETWEEN 8 TO 12 MPH. I TOLD THE TOYOTA DEALER ABOUT IT HE SAID THAT HE HASN'T RECEIVED ANY REPORTS FROM TOYOTA ON THESE TWO PROBLEMS HE DIDN'T SEEM TO INTERESTED IN MY PROBLEM. *TR

I TURNED LEFT INTO A BEST BUY PARKING SPACE. MY FOOT COVERED THE BRAKE AS I SLOWLY COASTED IN. MY 2010 TACOMA BEGAN SPEEDING UP. I HIT THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD, STOPPED THE TACOMA. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PUT THE TACOMA IN PARK. THIS WAS NOT FLOOR MAT RELATED, SINCE THE DEALER DID NOT SUPPLY FLOOR MATS WITH THE TACOMA. I NEVER TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL. I SHOPPED, THEN BROUGHT THE TACOMA TO PAULY TOYOTA, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL, WHERE THE SERVICE DEPT. TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY. THE TRUCK IS 3 WEEKS OLD, LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT. *TR
