NHTSA Complaint #10598558 — 2014 TOYOTA TACOMA

FIRST LET ME START WITH HOW I ENDED UP WITH THIS HORRIBLE VEHICLE. WE HAD A 2012 CHEVY DIESEL, AMAZING TRUCK, GREAT TRUCK. DIESEL PRICES HAD BEEN RISING AND WAS JUST COSTING TO MUCH TO DRIVE AND WE WANTED TO START SAVING SOME MONEY. WE SHOPPED AROUND AND ENDED UP LOOKING AT THE TOYOTA TACOMA, NOT THE BEST QUALITY BUT NONE THE LESS DECENT GAS MILEAGE (OR SO WE THOUGHT). SINCE DAY ONE WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET BETTER THEN 15 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! 14 CITY! HAVE HAD FUEL EFFICIENCY TEST DONE AND THAT'S WHAT THEY CAME UP WITH AS WELL AND CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG. CORPORATE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING AND CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG, YET EVERYONE I KNOW WITH THIS SAME TRUCK IS GETTING NO LESS THEN 18 MPG HIGHWAY. I HOPE I'M THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH THIS BECAUSE THE SMALL TRUCK GETS WORSE GAS MILEAGE THEN ANY FULL SIZE TRUCK I'VE EVER OWNED. I WILL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN NOR WILL ANYONE I KNOW OR ANYONE IN MY FAMILY. STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FOR TOYOTA. NOW ONTO THE TRACK CONTROL, IT LIKES TO ACTIVATE AT RANDOM. IF YOUR SITTING AT A STAND STILL AND TRY TO DRIVE FORWARD WITH JUST THE SLIGHTEST ROLL BACK IT GOES CRAZY! AND THE BRAKES, IF YOUR GOING DOWN A HILL AND YOU USE THE BRAKE FOR MORE THEN ROUGHLY 30 SEC IT WILL START TO VIBRATE, MAKE A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING.... THE QUALITY OF THIS VEHICLE IS POOR AND I MUST ADD THAT THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT NOR WITH THEY FIX IT. ALL THEY WILL TELL YOU IS "WELL SORRY IF YOUR UNHAPPY WITH YOUR VEHICLE, WE WILL SEND YOU ARBITRATION PAPERWORK." *TR
