The contact owns a 2004 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH and making a right turn, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart after several attempts. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) main fuse had blown due to a short circuit. The dealer replaced the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) main fuse; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the dealer diagnosed that the subframe was severely corroded, including transmission components and fuel system components. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist as unknown recalls had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
My pickup was just reframed under Toyota recall at Toyota of bedford, Ohio. But, , they omitted the safety shield under the fuel tank.. aka..gravel shield.. first saying it never had one, then it was missing, then it didn't come in the kit, I filed a case with Toyota usa, corporation # 1701033889 as per all safety items were to be maintained or replaced !! but I was denied by Toyota Corp. So I will have to pick up my truck under protest as Toyota of bedford is threatening me with calling the loaner car in as stolen if I don't today ! said shield was "rusty" but most was on the truck when it went in there, and im on social security (small check) which our great obama care takes almost five eights of & I really cant afford the $ 640.- they are asking just for the part ! I really don't feel safe in the truck without the shield, so it will probably sit till better weather & I can make a shield for it..and it will be stronger & last much longer than the piece of "rusty tin, " that they say fell away. So again, im picking it up under protest & will write that on the billing statement today 1/52017... [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
On several occasions my truck has completely lost power. A few times it happened while pulling into traffic resulting in me almost being hung out in a busy intersection. When I push the gas pedal, it starts to move forward, then suddenly loses power. I believe the problem is somewhere in the throttle body. I also get some hesitation when lightly hitting the accelerator at highway speeds.
