The contact owns a 2014 toyota tacoma. the contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the check engine and the traction control warning lights were illuminated, and the vehicle hesitated to accelerate and failed to exceed 45 mph while driving. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a secondary air injection pump system failure. the mechanic determined that the failure was related

Structure

The clear coat is failing on the roof and the hood causing the paint to fade. toyota knows about the problem and fails to do anything to rectify the problem. thousands of customers are being affected by this. you can go onto any vehicle forum out there and there are thousands of pictures of this.

Unknown Or Other

Hi. i file a complaint several years ago about their entertainment radio system freezing up intermittently. happening now my radio after i turn it off will turn back on to the first am setting saved even though i did not use it. after i turn it off the display shows the am lit up as white not blue and it will turn back on repeatedly for a few more times before completely staying off. this has happened now 3 times

Steering

When you are driving down the road and get in a curve the wheels lock up like you are on ice or hydroplaining and have no control of vehicle. only happens in curves and i know of multiple trucks doing this - if another car is coming from other direction you will hit them as you cant control truck
