-??What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" I purchased a 2025 Toyota Tacoma from Carver Toyota of Columbus, IN, 47280 brand new with only 15 miles. I also purchased the 100,000-mile bumper to bumper warranty that covers third party parts. After driving the vehicle for 5,000 miles, I noticed problems with Transmission or the Powertrain System whenever I would shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, down shift, shift to reverse, and would slip acceleration whenever the vehicle is sitting idle. -??How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This has impacted my safety and the safety of others by not properly shifting into gear. When accelerating it engages harshly from 2nd to 3rd gear. I can-??t properly accelerate whenever the vehicle is idle; thus causing safety concerns when operating this vehicle. -??Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, on [XXX], I took the vehicle into to Carver Toyota Service Center with only 10,639. My warranty covers 100,000 miles bumper to bumper. -??Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The Service Member with Carver Toyota -??test drove-?? and confirmed that the vehicle shifted harshly from park to reverse and from 2nd to 3rd gear. The vehicle fluids were checked and were found to be low. The fluids were -??topped off-?? and the vehicle was returned back to me within one day of my delivering it to them. -??Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" At the time of my reporting this issue with Carver, there were no warnings or error codes indicted by the vehicle. However, this is a well known issue with this make and model of the Toyota Tacoma. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Turning a corner my left axle broke and I only have 3100 miles on this vehicle. Still is not fixed because of warranty issues. When I do get it back I don-??t know how I-??m suppose to feel safe driving it. Upon checking on YouTube and Internet I see there is a problem with this happing to others. Thank you for your time.

Vehicle was set in tow/haul mode. Tow/haul mode provides higher acceleration by changing the operation of transmission. Vehicle was towing 2500lb cargo trailer on interstate. Driver stopped at rest area and turned off engine and left vehicle. Driver returned to vehicle 5 minutes later. Driver started engine and proceeded to leave the rest area. Driver was on highway entrance ramp. Entrance ramp merges with right lanr Driver attempted to accelerate to enter highway in such a way that there would be safe distance between end of trailer and car on highway approaching end of trailer. Vehicle would not accelerate as quickly as it was accelerating for the past 2 hours. Driver was surprised and distracted. Margin of safety between rear end of trailer and car on highway was greatly reduced. Some time after the incident Driver realized that car forgot it was in tow haul mode whenever engine is turned off. There is no warning that mode changed. This means that car does not behave as reasonably expected after an ignition cycle
