HOW DO I CHALLENGE THIS OR APPEAL TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED? THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON I AM TOLD IT WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE SPIRAL SPRING. PLEASE HELP!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A USED TOYOTA TACOMA 2002 ON 12/16/11 (NOW WITH 124K MILES). TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE TO OWNERS REGARDING A SAFETY ISSUE & THE POSSIBILITY OF FRAME SPLITTING WITH STEPS TO TAKE FOR TOYOTA TO COVER THIS ISSUE IN A 1X LETTER THEY SENT OUT IN FEB 2012. TOYOTA SENT THE LETTER TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER & NOT TO ME (THE RIGHTFUL OWNER AT THAT TIME.) I RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM A LOCAL TIRE COMPANY THAT NOTICED A SPLIT IN MY TRUCK'S FRAME (THIS ISSUE WAS NEVER BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHEN I HAD ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF ON 5/11/15). I WENT RIGHT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THE FRAME MUST BE REPLACED (WHICH WAS PART OF THE PROGRAM THAT TOYOTA OFFERED IN THE LETTER SENT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER, NOT ME' THE CORRECT OWNER AT THAT TIME). TOYOTA WILL NOT ASSIST ME WITH THE REPAIR/FIX BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THEY DID THEIR JOB AND SENT THE NOTICE TO THE OWNER THAT THEY HAD ON FILE FROM THEIR RESOURCES. I HAVE A COPY OF MY DMV REGISTRATION SHOWING THE REGISTRATION DATE, PROVING THAT THEY MAILED THE LETTER & REPAIR DETAILS TO THE INCORRECT OWNER. I SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER TO THE TOYOTA LEGAL DEPARTMENT WITH THE DETAILS & PROOF OF OWNERSHIP, WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS I WAS THE RIGHTFUL OWNER AT THE TIME THEY MAILED THE LETTER. THEY SIGNED FOR MY LETTER ON 12/21/18. NOW IT IS 3 1/2 MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE NOT YET HEARD BACK FROM THEM. WHEN I CALL THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE, TELLING ME THAT THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT CAN ONLY COMMUNICATE BY MAIL. TOYOTA HAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE FRAME THAT THEY NEVER INFORMED ME ABOUT. NOW MY CHERISHED TRUCK & DAILY TRANSPORTATION IS WORTH NOTHING BECAUSE OF TOYOTA'S DEFECTIVE FRAME. THIS COMPLAINT IS BEING ISSUED BECAUSE TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE FRAME AND LACK OF PROPERLY NOTIFYING ME, THE CORRECT OWNER, WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE & REPAIR OPTIONS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DURING NORMAL DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK IMMEDIATELY WENT IN TO LIMP-HOME MODE. I HAD IT SCANNED FOR CODES AT THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND IT CAME BACK WITH P2440 AND P2442 WHICH SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE WITH A VALVE IN THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. I QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED THAT SOME 2012 TACOMA OWNERS ARE GETTING THIS COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL WARRANTY EXTENSION, SO I PUTTERED OVER TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP EXPECTING TO HEAR THE SAME STORY, BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THE ECM COMPUTER IS BAD. WHICH I AM TRYING TO GET CLARIFICATION ON SINCE I CAN'T FIND ANY ECM FAILURE ISSUES FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL YEAR.

ABS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WITH STABILITY WARNING LIGHT, 10 AMP FUSE BLEW, BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING, STICK SHIFT LOCKED. REPLACED 10 AMP FUSE WARNING LIGHTS WENT AWAY BUT BY DRIVING THE CAR THE BRAKES START TO STALL THE CAR MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP DRIVING AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS DESCRIBED BEFORE CAME BACK ON. BUT THIS TIME THE STICK SHIFT DID NOT LOCK. SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, BUT THEN IT HAPPEN ON THE ROAD.

SERVICE BRAKES
I FEEL THAT THE TOYOTA DEALER IN WAIPAHU, HAWAII IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN REGARDS TO RECALL NO. 18V-888. I RECEIVED THE RECALL REMEDY NOTICE IN THE MAIL, I THEN CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE VERY NEXT DAY ON 2/25/19. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY HAD NO ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL FOR THE PART. I ASKED FOR A PHONE CALL THAT DAY TO SATISFY MY CONCERN ON NO ETA FOR THE PART SINCE THIS RECALL AFFECTS MY BRAKE PERFORMANCE. NO CALL WAS RECEIVED. ON 3/27/19, I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO KEEP CALLING SINCE THEY HAVE NO IDEA IN REGARDS TO THE ETA FOR THE PART. SECONDLY, I CANNOT BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST SINCE I NEED TO BE AT THE REMEDY LEVEL. I WAS CONFUSED SINCE OUR RECALL STATES IT IS A REMEDY NOTICE WHICH I EXPLAINED I ALREADY HAD. I WAS PUT ON HOLD ONLY TO BE TOLD SHE MADE A MISTAKE AND THAT A MANAGER WILL CALL ME BACK THE SAME DAY. NO CALL WAS RECEIVED. TODAY IS 4/3/19 AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT VERY REASONABLE SINCE THIS RECALL AFFECTS BRAND NEW TRUCKS (2018-2019). HOW CAN THIS REPAIR BE PUSHED BACK WHEN IT AFFECTS YOUR BRAKE PERFORMANCE? SECONDLY, HOW CAN YOU SEND OUT A REMEDY NOTICE, HAVE A CUSTOMER MAKE CONTACT RIGHT AWAY, AND STATE THAT THERE ARE ALREADY NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL.

INITIAL PROBLEM 12/08/2009: IN DECEMBER OF 2009, I DROPPED MY TOYOTA TACOMA OFF AT MY LOCAL DEALER (LEXINGTON TOYOTA, (MA) FOR A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. LEXINGTON TOYOTA CALLED ME AND STATED THAT MY 2001 TACOMA HAD A SERIOUS FRAME RUST PERFORATION PROBLEM. THEY STATED THAT THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRAME AT NO COST TO ME AND THEY ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER. THE TOTAL COST TO ME WHEN THE JOB WAS COMPLETED WAS $1,717.77 (SEE-ATTACHED INVOICE [XXX].) THE FRAME REPAIR INVOICE WAS DATED 12/22/2009. FAST FORWARD TO 12/10/2018: ON 12/10/2018, I BROUGHT MY 2001 TACOMA INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF LEXINGTON TOYOTA FOR SOME BRAKE WORK. LATER THAT DAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THAT MY FRAME HAD SELECTED ROT AND WOULD NOT PASS THE NEXT STATE INSPECTION. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THEY HAD REVIEWED THE SITUATION WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I EXPLAINED THAT THE FRAME HAD BEEN REPLACED IN DECEMBER OF 2009 AND THAT THE SERVICE ADVISOR ([XXX]) HAD STATED TO ME THAT THE NEW FRAME WAS WARRANTIED FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. I JOKING REPLIED THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY LAST LONGER THAN I WOULD. I GUESS I WAS WRONG. I HAVE ALL OF MY REPAIR WORK AND YEARLY STATE INSPECTION WORK DONE AT LEXINGTON (MA) TOYOTA. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS SITUATION WAS NOT IDENTIFIED EARLIER WHEN IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH BEFORE GETTING TO ITS CURRENT STATE. I BELEIVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THE FRAME FAILS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THIS HAPPENED TO ME, HOW MANY TACOMA?S AND OTHER TOYOTAS ARE OUT THERE THAT HAD FRAME REPLACEMENTS THAT ARE NOW DEFECTIVE. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE TOYOTA USED THE SAME SUBSTANDARD FRAMES FOR THEIR REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I SPOKE WITH [XXX], CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. ON 01/09/19 [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

TAMARA RECALL, MY 2004 TOYOTA TACOMA 4 WHEEL DRIVE CHASSIS HAS BROKEN ON ME TWICE SENSE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM A USED DEALERSHIP, AND THE CHASSIS IS ALSO CRACKED AGAIN ON MY BACK DRIVERS SIDE, WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK I WASN'T TOLD THAT THE CHASSIS WAS RUSTED AND THEY HAD COVERED IT UP. I NEED TO KNOW IF IT'S STILL UNDER WARRANTY TO GET IT REPLACED OR WHAT I NEED TO DO, MY ODOMETER IS SHOWING ONLY 118686 ON IT RIGHT NOW. I'M CONCERNED IF I WERE TO BE IN A WRECK THAT THERE WOULD BE A WORSE OUTCOME VERSES THE CHASSIS NOT BEING RUSTED. WHEN THE CHASSIS BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING, THE EXHAUST HAS BROKEN OFF AS WELL BECAUSE OF RUST. NOW THE TRUCK SQUEAKS REALLY BAD AND MY SPARE TIRE IS ABOUT TO BREAK OFF AS WELL I BELIEVE. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF I COULD GET IT FIXED. I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH OF THE CHASSIS IS RUSTED OR HOW BAD IT US DUE TO THEM COVERING IT UP. BOTH TIMES THE CHASSIS HAS BROKEN HAVE BEEN WHEN ON A CITY STREET I HAVEN'T DONE AN INSURANCE CLAIM ON IT EITHER, THE SECOND TIME IT BROKE I WAS ALSO BRAKING THE TRUCK. I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER OF THE RECALL. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN MARCH AND ALL THIS HAPPENED IN MAY AND JUNE AND I'M AFRAID IT'S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN IF IT'S NOT REPLACED AND DUE TO ME MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT AND IT BEING MY DAILY DRIVER I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DUE SENSE I CANNOT SALE IT. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL UNTIL SEPTEMBER, I SEEN SOMETHING ABOUT IT ON FACEBOOK AND JUST STARTED LOOKING INTO IT TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY POSSIBILITY OF GETTING IT FIXED OR REPLACED. THE BED HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHY. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS AND I HOPE TO HEAR SOMETHING SOON ABOUT MY TRUCK. ANY KIND OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL, BECAUSE I DO NOT TRUST THIS TRUCK. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE ELSE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK BECAUSE IT IS SO UNTRUSTWORTHY. THANK YOU AGAIN.

I HAVE 3500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH THE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGED THE VEHICLE SENSED AN OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN THERE WAS NONE, AND ABRUPTLY SLOWED MY TACOMA DOWN FROM 65 MPH TO LESS THAN 30 MPH. BOTH OCCURRENCES WERE ON NJ HIGHWAYS. FORTUNATELY, THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME WAS FAR ENOUGH THAT I WASN'T REAR ENDED. I PULLED OVER AND DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL . I HAVE REPORTED BOTH INCIDENTS TO TOYOTA SERVICE IN GREEN ROOM NJ.

EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS IN NEED OF REPAIR. SHOP WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX BECAUSE THE FRAME IS SO RUSTED THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO ATTACH NEW PARTS TO. SHOP SHOWED ME LARGE HOLES IN FRAME. THEN ADVISED ME THAT I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITH THE POSSIBILITIES OF BREAKING. WHICH I HAVE HEARD HAPPEN TO OTHERS. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OR RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY RECALL THAT I HAVE RECEIVED AND TAKEN CARE OF WAS THE ISSUE WITH THE ACCELERATOR. THIS ALARMS ME SINCE I OFTEN HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH ME.

I'VE HAD MY TRUCK FOR ABOUT 1000 MILES. FOUR TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED I'VE HAD A VEHICLE PASS ME IN AN ADJACENT LANE, THEN SLOW DOWN TO BELOW MY SPEED. EVERY TIME, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ABRUPTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW MY VEHICLE DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON THEREBY PUTTING ME IN DANGER OR BEING REAR-ENDED.
