Car Stall Problems of Toyota Tacoma

Driving vehicle on a side street going approx 20 miles per hour . Car started shaking and lost majority of power. Was able to get car back to residence (only got a couple of blocks away) when heading to destination. Had vehicle towed next day to same dealership who had recently replaced fuel pump under a recall (paperwork for this recall is what was experienced /stalling dangers) . Dealership told us not fuel pump but wiring harness needed replacement because rodents ate the wiring ( soy bean covering on newer vehicles )and engine lost power because of this . Thank goodness not on a highway going 75 mph. When this happened as we very well could of been . Told we need to deter these rodents from continuing any more damage . Wonder why company would use a product . Thank you.

When slowing down before making a left turn across traffic, after the vehicle comes to a crawl or stop and then I accelerate to turn left across traffic, the engine hesitates for 1 to 2 seconds before accelerating. I took my 2018 Toyota Tacoma to my dealer and they were able to replicate the problem. A re-set or upgrade to the computer has not fixed the problem. . Read more...

There have been several times I have gone out to my Tacoma that I can hear the fuel pump running on it's own. I heard it running one evening, while no keys were inserted and the truck was locked up. The truck runs rough most of the time and I have problems with it stalling and not wanting to start back up again. It will take 3 to 4 times turning the truck over before it will reluctantly will start up. Also the traction control button does not work anymore and the differential button when pushed on does not engage the differential. All of these issues have started at different times. The fuel pump running when no one inside it has just the month been noticed as well as the buttons. The stalling started to be noticed about 4 months ago and I at first thought it was due to it being not broke in or me not giving it enough gas, but it is almost every time now when I back up or go forward it can stall.

The problems described below have been reported to my dealer gullo Toyota in conroe, TX. The dealer is aware that this model truck has been recalled for rear differential failure and misfiring and stalling. While driving east on fm1097 between lake conroe and willis, TX on 2/06/18, I was required to make a quick stop. A loud bump sound came from beneath the truck. Prior to this stop, the engine had been misfiring from-time-to-time. After the quick stop and the bump sound came from beneath the truck, the engine started misfiring at a constant and violent rate for a distance of about 1 mile. My truck has been making an unusual bump sound which occurs shortly after coming to a stop since I bought it in 2016. The truck has also been misfiring for as long as I have owned it. I am afraid that the bump may be due to loose or broken motor or transmission mounts, loose suspension bolts or the gas tank may be shifting. The misfire may indicate that a fuel line is being restricted when the gas tank shifts position. A pinched or deformed gas line may be starving the fuel pump and causing the engine to misfire. Since the bump sound is delayed and occurs after coming to a stop, it suggest to me that the gas tank may be the cause since the gasoline in the tank is in motion after the truck comes to a stop. I need Toyota to take this defective truck in and repair it for this and all the other problems I have previously reported to Toyota. Toyota needs to provide me with a loaner truck while my truck is being repaired. I have left my truck with Toyota 5 times for the misfire and Toyota has not every provided me with a loaner vehicle. I need a loaner truck while my truck is being repaired.

Brought vehicle in to dealership( northway Toyota) for recall notice, and vehicle stalling.

Crank position sensor-truck was in motion on a city street when it bucked and stalled. It started again and I was able to make it a block to my mom's house/garage, where I keep my truck. As I was pulling into the garage, it bucked and stalled again. I replaced the cps (crank position sensor) because I didn't want my truck towed to the dealership. It cost me $110 buck. I'm really glad I wasn't out camping or in traffic when this occurred, as it could have been a much worse situation.

I have read many, many other people online are having this identical issue and is causing cars to stall out and have to nearly rebuild the engine. Cylinder number 6 is misfiring consistently after 175,000 miles and to fix it, the heads have to be shaved and is costing the consumer around $4500 minimum to fix the issue. The stalling of the engine put myself in danger on a public road when it happened.

Noticed my Tacoma being slow to down shift to a lower gear when trying to accelerate or it would up shift to a higher gear while accelerating/merging resulting in an unexpected change in acceleration. Also if riding between 20-40 mph the vehicle rides at a very low rpm (~1100) and shimmies the vehicle like it will stall. Vehicle will also "noticeably" down shift while the foot is off the accelerator resulting in an unexpected change in deceleration. The problem seems to be getting worse and now the shifting is starting to jolt the vehicle. While driving at constant speeds the vehicle will randomly surge high in rpms then come right back down. The vehicle is presenting unsafe conditions. Took the vehicle to the dealer multiple times. 1st time they topped off the transmission fluid as it was low from the factory. 2nd time they are aware of the issue and others were having it as well and the transmission ecu was re-flashed. This still did not resolve the problem. Brought the vehicle back a 3rd time and they didn't see a problem with the vehicle. Brought it back a 4th time to be seen by a field specialist and the issue could be duplicated but there is no fix at this time because the vehicle is operating as designed. Vehicle currently has less than 2500 miles on it. Not sure why you would design a vehicle to do this.

To who it may concern: would you be able to research and cover a 2005 Toyota Tacoma problem plaguing Toyota customer. The issues is a problem with the design of the frame. The frames are failing at the engine motor mount(very very dangerous) and causing the cars to be almost be in-repairable(Toyota advise me it would be 10,000 fix). Toyota is offering no assistance and there are tons of customer feedback online to show there is a problem with their frames. For my truck I heard a noise coming from the engine on 12/24/2012 and took into a dealer on 12/26/2012. They said it was the fan hitting the fan shroad they said they fixed it. I started hearing the noise again and had to take it in on 1/5/2013. . . They first said it was my motor mounts and would need to order the part. . When they were going to install the part they notice a crack in the frame where it connects to the motor mount. They said there was no other signs if damage any where and did not know how that happened. . . Meaning the frame failed from the torque of the engine. . They advise I would need to get new frame ($10,000). . . I called Toyota and advise they would not assist.

While driving my 2009 Toyota Tacoma sport pick-up truck in a lowes home improvement center parking lot today (11/27/10 at 2:25 pm), my Tacoma began a very rapid acceleration as I put my foot on the brake to slow down rounding an isle turn in the lot and preparing to park the vehicle. I applied immediate heavy pressure on the brake since a Toyota prius was right in front of me and I did not want to hit it. During my braking the rear tire(s) was spinning and screeching on the pavement. The truck moved forward about 5 feet and then the motor shut off as I was reaching to turn off the ignition. Whew! this happened in all of a span of maybe 4 to 5 seconds. Thank god I had just recently taken the truck in for a recall where the dealer cut back the accelerator pedal and installed new software to shut off the engine when the brake was applied. This new software saved my butt and that of the prius too. Who knows the damage that might have been done without it. This is my (the Tacoma's) 3rd rapid acceleration incident and 3rd time I am reporting to the NHTSA. First report was on 12/03/09 174319. This time I was parked with the motor running. Upon moving the shift lever from p to n the motor rapidly accelerated. Since the car was in neutral I was able to shut off the ignition. I took the truck to the dealer the next day and they "found no problem". Right! my second report to the NHTSA was on 4/14/10 odi: 10325627. Same problem as with the first report to the NHTSA. I did not take it to the dealer this time because I knew that they would "not find anything. " for this latest incident I am taking the truck in on Monday morning, 11/29/10 at the dealer's request to me today. Regardless of what the dealer may say to me or does, I am getting rid of the Tacoma. It has become too dangerous to drive. I am lucky my wife was not driving the Tacoma when this last incident happened. See also 10294490 and 10325627.

While driving my 2007 Toyota Tacoma x-runner pickup it accelerated without driver input. I shifted into neutral gear and vehicle's engine revved to an excessive number of revolutions per minute, for approximately 5 to 6 seconds. I confirmed nothing was holding the accelerator pedal down. The engine's revolutions per minute was excessive to the extent, I feared the engine would fail. The uncontrolled engine revolution ended on it's own. My local Toyota dealer stated there is an electronic chip installed to limit excessive engine revolution, prior to causing any damage. Further, that none of the present "government recalls," apply to the above vehicle. This occurrence occurred once and has not been repeated.
