Whenever I-??m driving my truck before it hits 40 miles it shakes bad but then when it passes 40 miles it stops and drives like if there-??s nothing wrong with
2020 Toyota Tacoma trd sport, sometimes the vehicle seems to loose power when down shifting while accelerating (going around a corner). The truck also seems like its hunting for a gear around the 35mph or 43 mph, on flat surface, going down hill, or going up hill. This also happens on the interstate while going 65-70mph, which would be cause for concern. This feels like its a transmission issue but also could be an engine misfire of a spark plug or something. This happens on a daily basis. Does also feel jerky at times.
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.
