2016 Toyota Tacoma Cruise Control Problems

On 11-27-2021 I lost all power while on a highway. I would lose power even with my foot all the way down the rpm would not rise at all. The power would come back adruptly and throw me back into my seat. The trac off and check engine light came on. My truck seemed like it was gonna stall and had a really low and rough idle. It was only about 0-500 rpm at idle and truck was shaking bad because of the engine. After getting towed home I tested the battery and alternator and those were fine. I believe it is the crankshaft position sensor. I have read that this has happened to man other people with the same truck as mine. There was a recall for the cps but for some reason my truck was not included.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 70 MPH, ENGINE QUITS. 2 DASH LIGHTS COME ON TRUCK MAXES OUT AT 40MPH OUT OF NOWHERE. PULLED OVER SHUT TRUCK OFF AND STARTED IT UP NO RAN FINE NOTE: CHECK ENG LIGHT IS NOW ON. BAD GAS DIAGNOSIS. GAS REPLACED HAPPENS 1 MORE TIME. DIAGNOSED WITH BAD FUEL INJECTORS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, CAUSE WAS BAD GAS. THE LOSS OF POWER HAPPENED 2 OTHER TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED HESITATION AND THE ENGINE DE-POWERING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ONCE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BEFORE THE VEHICLE RECOGNIZED THE SPEED THE SOFTWARE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO DE-POWER FOR INTERVALS OF ONE TO TWO SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY. A REMEDY WAS NOT DISCLOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,005.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ACCELERATION IS ERRATIC. I WILL PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET TO A CRUISING SPEED (THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40-60 MPH) AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATES AND THE TACHOMETER JUMPS FROM BETWEEN 2000 AND 3000 TO THE UPPER 4000 ? 5000 RANGE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN I HAVE THE CAR IN CRUISE CONTROL, IT DOES THE SAME THING WHEN GOING UP HILLS. THE ENGINE REVS LOUDLY AND THE TRUCK LURCHES ERRATICALLY FORWARD, SO I HAVE TO QUICKLY TAKE IT OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL AND GET THE PEG ON THE TAC DOWN TO A MORE REASONABLE LEVEL. MECHANICS AT THE SCHEDULED DID NOT MAKE A NOTE OF ANY ISSUES. I WILL PRESS THIS WITH THEM AT THE NEXT TUNE-UP AND SAFETY CHECK. THE ONLINE FORM HERE ASKS FOR A SPECIFIC DATE. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR 11-JUNE-2016 TO PRESENT (21-OCT-16). *TR
