TOYOTA TACOMA 2020 TRD OFF ROAD 4X4 VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH USE THE ABS SYSTEM TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN IT ROLLS BACK ON A HILL DOES NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON TOYOTA TACOMA OFF ROAD 4X4 VEHICLE. IT CAN NOT STOP VEHICLE AS REQUIRED. IT IS DEADLY DANGERS IN MOUNTAINS STEEP SLIPPERY AND NARROW ROADS. AT THIS CONDITION THE VEHICLE CONTROL IS IN QUESTION. I PERSONALLY FACED IT, BARELY AVOIDED ACCIDENT. SOME OTHER TACOMA DO HAVE DIFFERENT BOOSTER WHICH WORKING PROPERLY. OBVIOUSLY, THAT THIS CAR DOES HAVE DESIGN FLOW. I DID SPEAK WITH TOYOTA DEALER WHERE I DID BUY THE CAR AS WELL AS WITH TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE. THEY DID ADMIT THAT THIS CAR IS NOT WORKING AS OTHERS BUT DID CLAIM THAT IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. I DO THINK THAT YOU DO HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO PRESS TOYOTA TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT BOOSTER ON TACOMA OFF ROAD 4X4 VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AND APPLYING MY BRAKES THEY DO NOT ALWAYS SEEM LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO STOP ME IN TIME. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE IS GRABBING AND THE STOP IS JERKY AND NOT SMOOTH. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE SPED UP ON IT'S OWN TO RESUME PREVIOUS SPEED SO IT APPEARS THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DISENGAGE WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. I FIRST NOTICED A BRAKING ISSUED WHEN I STARTED DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2020. THOUGHT PERHAPS I JUST HAD TO BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING THE PAST 2 1/2 MONTHS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED SO I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT TO BE LOOKED AT. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALERSHIP AND NOW HAS ABOUT 3500 MILES ON IT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO SERVICE DEPT IN GETTLE TOYOTA ON CORTEZ RD IN BRADENTON FL ON 9/18/20 AND THEY SAID BASICALLY "IT'S THE NATURE OF THE BEAST. THEY TESTED IT AND THOUGHT AT FIRST THE BRAKES SEEMED REALLY SENSITIVE BUT THEN COMPARED IT TO A TEST DRIVE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE LOT AND DETERMINED THAT'S JUST HOW THE TRUCK IS. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE. AFTER SPENDING OVER $40,000 ON A TRUCK I'D LIKE TO FEEL SAFE. ALWAYS THOUGHT TOYOTA STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS BUT NOW NOT SO SURE. IF YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY CONCERN, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

SYSTEM WILL OCCASIONALLY SUDDENLY DECELERATE AS I AM PASSING, USUALLY A LARGE TRUCK. I WILL BE IN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND AS I GET ABREAST OF THE TRAILER, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DECREASE SPEED BY 10-20 MPH, THEN ACCELERATE BACK TO THE SET SPEED. THIS, OBVIOUSLY, HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE A REAR END COLLISION IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING AND NOT PAYING FULL ATTENTION, ESP IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE CARS FOLLOWING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

A child infant passenger car seat was placed in the rear passenger center seat position. The the shoulder/lap-belt was used to install the car seat rear-facing. Once the install was complete. The shoulder belt was slowly pulled and extended all the way out. The purpose was to have the shoulder belt reach its maxed length. This would position the belt to be placed into retracting mode only. This would prevent the child or an infant to possibly extend the belt once its been retracted. This would minimize the free play with the belt such as being tangled with child's arm, head, body parts, and potentially becoming a choking hazard. The issue now, is the shoulder/lap-belt retracting mechanism is malfunctioning. The shoulder/lap belt is not retracting. Rather it is stuck and now the entire shoulder/lap belt is extended all the way out. There is no resistance in the seat-belt and cannot will not secure a rear passenger in the center seat position. The rear center seat does not have a working safety car passenger safety belt.

Front passenger seat belt/SRS lights flashing and staying on. I recently gave someone a ride and when they adjusted the seat/seat belt these lights on the dash came on and will not go off. My guess it is the SRS/seatbelt/seat pretensioner.

The issue is that I and as well as many others live in cold winter climates. LED headlights do not put off the heat required to keep snow and ice off of them. This is a hazardous and accident causing issue when you can not see any longer. Getting out of the vehicle every few miles poses a hazard in it's own that you are pulling over on a roadway to clear the headlights. I don't feel the manufacturers thought this through and is getting worse that most newer vehicles & all electrical vehicles have LED lighting. There needs to be a heater system or film/built in heat source for the lens.... Also the front sensor for collision detection will freeze over or become snow covered. Thus the vehicle turning it off. Seems it is most needed during this weather condition???

I recently changed tires from the factory originals. While tightening the lug nuts 4 wheel studs sheared off while tightening (2 on passenger front tire and 2 on passenger rear tire). In light of this issue I decided to replace all 12 wheel studs on the affected tires. The 8 remaining wheel studs that were still intact all had evidence of thread stretch visible to the naked eye.
