2015 Toyota TACOMA problems and owner complaints

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE ABS SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE OVERLY SENSITIVE, CAUSING EXTREMELY LOW BRAKING POWER. THIS IS BEYOND THE NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ABS SYSTEMS IN OTHER CARS. THE SYSTEM VIRTUALLY ELIMINATES ANY ABILITY TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. EVEN WHEN A SINGLE WHEEL HAS LOST TRACTION, ALL WHEELS WILL BE PULSED TO THE POINT OF NO BRAKING POWER. MANY OTHERS WITH SEVERAL MODEL YEARS OF TRUCKS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. SOME HAVE DISABLED THE SYSTEM AND EXPERIENCED BETTER BRAKING. EVEN THOUGH STEERING CONTROL MAY BE IMPROVED, IN THIS TRUCK, STO…

MY 2015 TACOMA HAS AN INDICATION THAT CRUISE CONTROL (CC) IS TURNED ON, BUT NOT IF CC IS ENGAGED OR DISENGAGED. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE ON A MULTIPLE LANE FREEWAY WITH CC ON AND ENGAGED. WHEN I APPROACHED SLOWER MOVING TRAFFIC IN THE LANE I WAS TRAVELING, I MOVED TO THE LEFT LANE TO PASS. I USED THE ACCELERATOR IN ORDER TO SPEED UP AND MINIMIZE MY IMPACT ON THE FASTER MOVING TRAFFIC IN THE LANE. I DID THIS WITHOUT DISENGAGING CC. FEELING SOCIAL PRESSURE TO MOVE RIGHT AS TRAFFIC WAS BACKING UP EVEN AT MY ACCELERATED SPEED, I RELEASED THE…

AS WE WERE DRIVING LAST NIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL FELL APART DURING A TURN, RENDERING IT INSTANTLY UNMOVABLE. WE GOT STUCK IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. WE COULD NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE TOO MANY CARS WERE WHIZZING BY US. WHEN WE DISLODGED THE BROKEN PIECE WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. WE PHYSICALLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TOGETHER SO THAT WE COULD DRIVE HOME. TOYOTA HAULED THE CAR OFF THIS MORNING. YOU'RE VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE, WE CAN TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY AND WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD DO THE SAME. AS SOON AS WE COULD MOVE THE VEHICLE TO…

TRUCK IS ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS OLD AND MULTIPLE TIMES NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO ENGAGE. EACH TIME IT'S IN DRIVE, AND ON A SLOP OR HILL AND WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED WITH THE TRUCK IN DRIVE IT STARTS CLICKING AND GRINDING AND ROLLS BACKWARDS, UNABLE TO ENGAGE AND CONTINUE ON. TRUCK REQUIRES THAT YOU PUT IT INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE BEFORE YOU CAN PROCEED. LAST TIME THIS OCCURED I NEARLY HIT A CHILD IN THE STREET AS IT ROLLED BACKWARDS AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. IT'S BEEN INTO THE SHOP, NOTHING THEY COU…

ELECTRICAL WIRING WAS EATEN BY SOME KIND OF RODENT - TWICE! DASH PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SINCE IT WAS NEW.
