Description of the problem | 2020 toyota tacoma trd off road has severe hesitation issues during warm startup. Truck cranks over fine but drags for an extended period of time before firing. There is a noticeable smell of gasoline when this happens. Sometimes the starter seems to stick and makes a loud grinding noise. Other times there is an audible single click/pop noise immediately after pushing the start button but the truck still starts. After the truck is started it will occasionally idle rough and the tachometer will dip low and the truck will shake slightly as if the truck is going to stall. Toyota continues to deny anything is amiss despite me providing video evidence and duplicating the issue in front of them myself. They continue to refuse to do any reasonable amount of work to fix my vehicle under warranty. Here is a link to videos of the issue for reference of the severity: https://youtu. Be/z-w-fd8gziu |
