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 on the the highway today and suddenly I lost power and won't pass speeds over 40 mph very dangerous have heard this happend to a lot of Tacomas/ tundras and has to do something with the emissions I think I need a new diverter valve which Toyota should cover.

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.

During normal driving, the check engine light and traction control off light came on and truck immediately went in to limp-home mode. I had it scanned for codes at the local auto parts store and it came back with p2440 and p2442 which seems like a common issue with a valve in the secondary air injection system. I quick google search showed that some 2012 Tacoma owners are getting this covered under a special warranty extension, so I puttered over to the Toyota dealership expecting to hear the same story, but they are telling me the ecm computer is bad. Which I am trying to get clarification on since I can't find any ecm failure issues for this make and model year.

Tl the contact owns a 2019 Toyota Tacoma. While attempting to park the vehicle, the brakes failed. As a result, the vehicle accelerated forward and crashed into a cement wall. The contact and a passenger were injured and transported to a hospital for medical attention. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle's front end was smashed in and the vehicle was towed from the scene. The contact's insurance company handled the claim and the adjusters planned to evaluate the vehicle. The dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 2,000.

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.

Truck unintentionally accelerates when braking.

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.

While driving approximately 35 mph the I applied pressure to the brake pedal and the vehicle accelerated.

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!.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated independently with the gear shifter in drive, park or reverse. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

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.

I was making left turn crossing traffic rolling almost to a stop ,pressed on gas and truck did not move and paused about 2 seconds and took off across intersection and oncoming truck had to brake hard to avoid hitting me. I contacted dealer and test drove with tech. Could not duplicate incident and told other like problems reported to dealer ,ran tests and reported no problem found. Also reported to them turning left up steep driveway truck transmission shifts and lunges forward and accelerates.

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 .

It doesn't track straight at 45+mph , under powered, cruise is lost shifts erratic an. 16-18mpg running 91oct. . . . Etc.

Almost lost control of vehicle when the trucks performance jumped into limp mode "trac off" as I was driving. Loss of speed and performance caused me to be a driving hazard. 2 vendors today found the codes p2440 and p2442, which appear to have triggered my truck into "trac off" and "check engine" light on. Mode causes my truck to only drive about 45 significantly impacts performance and dangerous to drive. This is a safety hazard,I had no warning that the loss of performance was going to happen initially when I was traveling. There is another problem that appears to be on a larger scale. I have briefly scanned the internet in the last hour and spoke with various vendors about the problem & I have called my dealership & even the main Toyota line and everyone is aware of the issue. The codes are p2440 & p2442. After finding out the codes I looked at the air injection pump & I was astonished to see that the pump was completely full of what, like someone literally took a waterhose & filled it up. Logically, this is why the air injection switching valves 1 and 2 are both stuck open one code for each of the valves. The next thing that is unusual is that there are an incredible amount of people having this same problem but no recall. . Then I found the tundra recall for the exact same pump issue! it is peculiar, that a different model truck with the same pump has this problem & no recall or remedy. Fact-tundra is a more expensive truck than Tacoma, is Toyota fixing public relation issues for those more well off because they know how to complain to the right folks or cause a big stir and they will hold off on pulling the trigger on a "warranty fix or recall" on the working mans Tacoma? this is just an opinion but my intuition tells me this is intentional. The fix is approx $2000 I am stuck driving 45 mph till then with shady steering & performance. #accountability #me too.

I was pulling accross a busy intersection and my truck completey lost power when trying to accelerate. I got a message �brake and accelerator depressed simultaneously� but they were not. I took it to the dealership and they couldn't figure out what was wrong.

I was driving at 35 mph on a city street when the speedometer shot up to 60 mph for no reason. Tachometer started going up and down for no reason as well. Kept having problems throughout the rest of week. Took it into Toyota dealership service department. They told me that they had to take my truck because it was a safety issue and might cause an accident. They told me that they had at least 6-7 other new Tacoma's that had this issue already. Did some research on the internet and found out that the speedometer/tachometer issue with 2017 Toyota Tacoma's has been going on for a least a couple of months, if not longer before I bought my Tacoma. However, no one at the dealership disclosed to me when I purchased my Tacoma that there was a potential safety issue that could cause an accident. My Tacoma was in the shop for over a month until Toyota repaired it.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that the six speed auto transmission failed to downshift properly. In addition, the transmission was slow to change over, there was an abnormal noise, and the vehicle lunged forward, which presented the risk of a potential crash. The failures occurred intermittently. Recently, while the vehicle was at a stop with the brake pedal depressed, it lunged forward while a passerby was walking in front of the vehicle. Capitol Toyota (765 capitol expressway auto mall, san jose, CA 95136, (408) 705-4707) was notified of the failure for more than two years and indicated that a software update may remedy the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified several times. The approximate failure mileage was 15.

While commuting to work the engine light and traction control light came on, causing my truck to slow down, very slow. It would not let me accelerate and disabled my progress to around 2000 rpms. This could have been a very serious or a dangerous situation especially if I was towing a load or in a major traffic situation. Codes - 2440 and 2442 were the causes of this scary account.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tacoma. While driving less than 1 mph downhill, the vehicle accelerated independently. The contact stated that the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to kendall Toyota (located at 6930 old seward hwy, anchorage, ak 99518, (855) 981-5457) to be diagnosed. The contact was not informed of what caused the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was also contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Toyota Tacoma. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle lost power and then immediately regained power. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred twice. The contact coasted the vehicle to a service station, restarted it, and was able to drive. While depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not accelerate past 25 mph. The vehicle was taken to Toyota of poway (13631 power rd, poway, CA 92064) where it was diagnosed that the air system valve needed to be replaced. The contact was also informed that the air injection pump may eventually need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they would not cover one hundred percent of the repair cost because the vehicle was out of warranty and there was no recall. The contact was referred to NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 133,472.

Blower motor only works on high. Sometimes speed od. Doesn't work, sometimes it does. Speed od. Reads about 5 miles per hour fast. Gauges pause for about 10 sec. Before working when I first start truck. All started around 120,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Tacoma. While at a complete stop with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle accelerated independently and caused the contact to strike another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was driven home. The contact stated that this was the third time the exact same failure occurred, causing him to strike other vehicles. Previously, the vehicle was taken to a dealer and the contact was informed that the failure occurred due to the floor mat. The accelerator pedal was cut down and the computer system was updated; however, the failure recurred. The failure mileage was 61,000.

At or around 1330hrs local time on april11th I was stationary at a red light on e. Main street at franklin Ave in rockaway borough in dry daylight conditions when my truck experienced full acceleration in an instant propelling me forward until I impacted the vehicle 3 ft in front of me also stopped at the red light. The impact instantly lowered the engine speed to normal idle. This is the third time this happened. The dealer and Toyota try to hide under the floor mats interfering with the accelerator. The last time this happened in 2013 the dealer cut the accelerator pedal and reflashed the computer. It's still not right. Toyota had an independent lab to look at the events recorder and reported everything is fine. The engine speeds up in a rapid manner at a complete stop giving the operator just milli-seconds to try to react. A crash is the result. I'm lucky today, it could have been pedestrians run over and killed. This is a serious problem, I won't drive the Toyota anymore it's an unsafe vehicle.

I was approaching a red;ight in phoenix, a truck was in front of me I applied the brake and the accelerator amped up. The guy I rearended said he saw mer crow hopping as my truck was doing this. I had my foot firmly pressed on the brake as hard as I could. I only stopped when I rear ended him. I was on a city street in phoenix.

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated the vehicle experienced hesitation and the engine DE-powering. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that once the accelerator pedal was depressed before the vehicle recognized the speed the software caused the engine to DE-power for intervals of one to two seconds before the vehicle would operate normally. A remedy was not disclosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,005.
