1 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2019

Cruise control slams on brakes, when in opposing lane of another car. On the same side of the road, on the interstate at, 70 miles an hour, then the cruise control, floors the throttle to around, 5,000 rpm's. Then the driveshaft has vibration, around 44 - 45miles an hour, also vibrates in certain rpm ranges. Which franklin Toyota, gladly told me, it's just a characteristic of the truck. When I know that it's not, another thing truck sometimes gets stuck in certain rpm ranges, like 3,000 rpms, at 55 miles an hour, then when you go up a hill, it feels like transmission is slipping only have 1,800 miles on it, this truck sucks terribly, OH and the driver's side window, gas developed, a rattle after about 1600 miles, not too happy with my purchase, feel like I got ripped off. Will never buy another Toyota. And the best part I'm paying 35,000 $ over a 6 year period for this piece of junk. Toyota it seems makes nothing but clunkers.

2 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2018

While driving the truck at normal speed 45+ miles and slowing down vehicle has severe vibration felt through out the car. It gets worst when braking slowly as it comes to a stop. Its felt on the steering wheel, brake pedal, seats as well as through out the entire truck. Took it to the dealership and they said it's normal but I have never felt this on any Toyotas. I have worked for Toyota for many years and to have the dealership telling me this is normal is just crazy. I believe it's coming from the drive shaft or rear axle area but by me fixing my own truck is not going to resolve anything. Therefore I am writing to you to see if you can try to resolve this issue. This issue has been going on from the day 1 of the purchase and getting worse. Thank you.
