I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2020 TACOMA SR5, AND IT HAS VERY POOR ACCELERATION WHEN PASSING OTHER VEHICLES. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DEAD SPOT WHEN ACCELERATING. IT SEAMS TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION DELAYED SHIFTING RESPONSE TIME WHEN DRIVING. I CONSIDER THIS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. IT RUNS WORSE THAN MY OLD CAR. IT RUNS LIKE ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE DIRTY. ALSO, A FEW DAYS AGO, I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE THAT HAD A BIT OF AN INCLINE FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES, AND WHEN I PULLED OUT AND PLACED MY GEAR IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED BADLY AND WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN. I ONLY KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT VEHICLES, BUT I KNOW THIS NEW 2020 V6 SR5 TOYOTA TACOMA THAT I JUST BOUGHT IS NOT RIGHT. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT A RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THESE PROBLEMS ARE ALL OR IN PART COMING FROM A POOR FUEL PUMP. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE NEW 2020 TACOMA'S ARE NOT PART OF THE FUEL PUMP RECALL. I FEAR THIS VEHICLES POOR PERFORMANCE WILL PLACE ME AT AN INCREASE RISK OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION OR THE LIKE. I HOPE YOU (THE READER) PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO THE APPROPRIATE CHANNELS IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE SAFE AGAIN.
