The vehicle stalls intermittently. it is as if the traction control system is cutting throttle input for 1-2 seconds. this occurs in heavy stop and go traffic. specifically, if accelerating to 10-15 miles per hour, then stopping, then attempting to accelerate again, the truck suffers an engine stall. the traction control dashboard indicator does not light up during this occurrence; however, the engine performs very similar to instances when the traction control does operate. the stall also occurs when slowing down to turn into driveways, etc. there is no required intervention to correct this issue; it simply lasts 1-2 seconds, then operates as normal. the vehicle was taken to two different dealerships (both toyota). neither was able to replicate the issue. i was told the vehicle did not have any error codes and there was nothing that required service. this event has happened approximately five times in the last 30 days (december 2019-january 2020).
There have been several times i have gone out to my tacoma that i can hear the fuel pump running on it's own. i heard it running one evening, while no keys were inserted and the truck was locked up. the truck runs rough most of the time and i have problems with it stalling and not wanting to start back up again. it will take 3 to 4 times turning the truck over before it will reluctantly will start up. also the traction control button does not work anymore and the differential button when pushed on does not engage the differential. all of these issues have started at different times. the fuel pump running when no one inside it has just the month been noticed as well as the buttons. the stalling started to be noticed about 4 months ago and i at first thought it was due to it being not broke in or me not giving it enough gas, but it is almost every time now when i back up or go forward it can stall.
Fuel gauge on the dashboard its not reading correctly the tank amount of fuel. when its full of gasoline the gauge on the dashboard gave me wrong readings marking as empty or 1/4 of the fuel tank.
A month after i lease the vehicle the check engine light came on one day after work.
