general problems of the 2018 Toyota Tacoma

Stalls when pressing down the acelator pedal from 0 to 30mph and takes between 2 to 7 seconds to ramp up the rpms.

My 6 speed manual v6 3. 5l trd off road Tacoma has hesitations and bucks when you apply throttle in the lower rpm 1000 to 2000 range to accelerate and also has poor throttle response when down shifting to slow and make a turn onto a side street. You have to apply almost 3/4 throttle to get the rpm to come to where you can rev match to the appropriate gear. It makes for a jerky ride for passengers and seems hard on the drivetrain. No dealer fix is available. Clutch pedal also squeaks on warmer days.

On several occasions my car has lost power and started idling very low in traffic. There has been an open recall for several months for this problem and Toyota has not fixed it.

I just called my dealer for a 6 month service appt and was informed about a recall on my vehicle that is not shown in your website tool. My Toyota Tacoma 2018 was recalled for "kob millimeter radar sensor" which reportedly could affect braking. Your site is not reporting this recall on my vehicle but the dealer is.

I was driving the truck and it just took off 'like a runaway vehicle over 100 mph" and it did this twice. I was driving on expressway approx 65 mph. My injury is that I am paranoid to drive this truck. The truck does what it wants.

Transmission sticks at 3,500 rpm at 50, fails to properly shift, has a delay when trying to ecelerate, then a surge of horse power and sticks at high rpm. It seems like the timing is off on an automatic. Not even 10,000 miles on my truck.

Vehicle surges between 40-50mph, vehicle he a 4 sod automatic with 2 electronic overdrives, monroney label stated 6spd automatic. Vehicle sticks in it last gear 4th sometimes lock in 1st od rpms are high, mileage is 4 mpg less than listed. Vehicle stutters, doesn't accelerate well when transmission locks.

Safety issue regarding the Toyota Tacoma v6 with 6spd automatic. Sluggish from a standstill, if starting from a coast, there is a dealy until it accelerates, the vehicle downshifts abruptly into 4th gear if a gust of wind or any incline crossover, bridge, overpass occurs. The vehicle will lock downshift to 4th ramp up rpm's to 3300 and above, after cresting the 3300 rpms still occurs, it will eventually upshift into 5th gear, but will hold 5th gear at 55mph and above sometimes indefinitely, other times, for miles then shift into 6th, all the while driving on a flat surface. It is unsafe, cannot properly tow anything, and subsequently, the mpg's are substantially less than posted due to the defects with the transmission. Toyota forums are up to 145 pages of unhappy Tacoma owners suffering the same issues, while Toyota takes the stance it is normal. These problems occur every time I drive on the highway.

Acceleration delay/hesitation, unp? try telling a driver what to doredictable and dangerous computer transmission combination. I now have just over 4000 miles on my 2018 Toyota Tacoma or 4x4 dcsb. Purchased in July, got a software update in August at about 1100 miles. While the throttle response improved post update, the hunting for gears and what gear do I belong in confusion has not really improved. I might have been able to live with some of the gear hunting/confusion, but the one issue that just kills me every time, is a delay from pressing the pedal until the vehicle accelerates when I am in a coast at approximately 15-25mph. I can literally press the pedal, count 1, 2. . And then the truck revs aggressively and kicks into gear as if it's now overcompensating for the delay as opposed to what should have just been a gradual increase in speed. This doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough that it is an obvious flaw and it has never improved post update. And once and just once, I pressed the pedal and it just didn't react at all, it was just dead, then I released it and pressed again and it accelerated. I have never in my entire 24 years of driving experienced a dead pedal until this brand new 2018 Tacoma. The update I am referencing flashes the computer of the truck and the same calibration id was released to combat a number of issues known by Toyota. The Toyota service bulletin id's for this update are 0062-18, 0058-18, 0125-18.

This vehicle has a 5 to 8 second delay in engine response that may cause a fatality. Toyota corp has been contacted and refuses to do anything about it.

I was driving with all tss (Toyota safety sense) systems enabled (as is the only default setting on this truck) with three passengers (my young family) at about 50 mph on a somewhat curvy mountain road. The truck's pcs (pre collision system) slammed on my brakes erroneously when a car (not in my path or lane) on a curve was slowing to turn off onto the shoulder. The truck dropped speed rapidly and unexpectedly until I pressed the accelerator hard, and could have caused a rear end collision had another vehicle been following me. The Toyota pcs system is not ready to be used safely on public roads, and needs to be recalled or disabled easily as a default setting before someone gets injured or killed!.

2018 Toyota Tacoma i4, when cool or cold engine or transmission will stall & stumble while accelerating you can be smooth or aggressive & it will occur, it has also occurred when it has been very hot outside 85-95 degrees and occurs even at normal engine operating temperature. The transmission also will down shift to 4th gear for no apparent reason while cruising @ 55-65mph on flat and level roads, it also constantly hunts 4 gears. I have been to Toyota dealership several times and the cant duplicate the issue. I have been told by Toyota that because my truck is a (4 cylinder) that they are not as many on the road as the v6's models so Toyota engeneering wont even look into the problems that I have been experiencing. They just say that's normal Toyota performance.

The truck vibrate as if it has big off road tires, the vibration is very strong form 15 or 20 mpr at times is so strong that the dashboard make noyce and the front passenger seat makes noyce. In the morning and sometimes at any time the engine is king of missing for small times, missing , like going and stopping the engine nease. All this happening in city driving or hwy. All his happens on and off .
