Thank you for sharing your experience. I am genuinely sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced while we worked diligently to diagnose your vehicle. I understand why dealing with a recurring problem would be extremely frustrating. That said, I do feel it is important to clarify that some of the information in this review does not accurately reflect what occurred. Our technicians invested more than 20 hours attempting to diagnose the recurring fuel-system failure. The vehicle was experiencing a very intermittent condition of stalling that was incredibly difficult (almost impossible) to duplicate. Based on the symptoms and diagnostic information available at the time, the fuel pump was identified as a possible cause. The pump was replaced as part of the standard manufacturer diagnostic process, but unfortunately, it did not resolve the underlying issue. When the problem continued, our technicians did not simply dismiss the concern or stop looking for an answer. They continued testing and attempting to duplicate the condition. Ultimately, our technicians discovered the actual cause: a cap/tab from a fuel-cleaning product was loose inside the fuel tank and floating around, intermittently creating the condition that caused the vehicle to stall and set low fuel pressure codes in the onboard system. This was an extremely unusual problem and one that required considerable diagnostic time to identify. It is also important to point out that you were not charged for a significant amount of time invested in this vehicle. We absorbed much of the cost because our goal was to find the problem and take care of you the customer and0 not simply bill for every hour our technicians spent working through this unusual condition. We recognize that the vehicle was at our dealership longer than anyone wanted, and we sincerely regret the inconvenience associated with having a rental vehicle. However, I don't believe it is fair or accurate to characterize this situation as misdiagnosing the vehicle or simply failing to properly diagnose the problem. Our technicians continued working through a very unusual intermittent condition and ultimately found the actual cause. We take every customer's concerns seriously, and we certainly understand why you were frustrated. At the same time, I have a responsibility to stand behind our technicians and our team when the facts show that they made a substantial effort to resolve a very difficult diagnostic problem. Diagnosis is a process, particularly when dealing with an intermittent condition that cannot consistently be duplicated. In this case, our team continued that process until they found the actual cause. We are proud of the effort our technicians put into this vehicle, and we believe the more than 20 hours they invested demonstrates that we took the concern seriously and remained committed to finding an answer.

jmcd5071 Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. After your visit, our Shop Foreman personally road-tested the vehicle with you to better understand the condition you described. The vehicle's operation was evaluated by our team and discussed with Toyota. The Tacoma's engine and transmission are designed to continuously optimize performance and fuel economy by operating at lower engine speeds whenever possible. While we understand that the driving characteristics associated with this strategy may not meet every driver's expectation, Toyota determined that the vehicle was operating as designed and that no repair was required. Although we recognize this was not the outcome you were hoping for, our team took your concerns seriously, verified the condition you described, and worked directly with Toyota to seek additional guidance. We appreciate your many years of loyalty to the Toyota brand and regret that this experience did not meet your expectations. Please reach out to me personally if you have any further concerns. Ed Troutman Service Director
