CORROSION ISSUES WITH TOYOTA. HAD MY VEHICLE CHASSIS INSPECTED PER A NOTIFICATION RECEIVED IN 2016. DEALER INDICATED "NOMINAL". I VIEWED MY CHASSIS SOON THEREAFTER AND NOTICED METAL SEPARATION. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA.COM AND RECEIVED NOTHING. I NOW HAVE A PIECE OF METAL WHOSE WELD BROKE DUE TO CORROSION. I WAS GIVEN AN UPDATED LETTER BY MY LOCAL INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. I NEVER RECEIVED THIS AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY TREATMENT TO MY CHASSIS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY SINCE WELDS ARE BREAKING DUE TO CORROSION. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE JULY 2016. PICTURES WERE TAKEN IN 2016, WITHIN 3-4 WEEKS OF THE ALLEGED DEALER INSPECTION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'VE HAD 5 DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL ON MY 4 DOOR TACOMA. BOTH PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS WERE INOPERATIVE AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN THE DOOR LOCKS FAIL, THE ELECTRONIC LOCKS AND KEYLESS ENTRY DO NOT WORK. THE PASSENGER-SIDE DOORS DO NOT HAVE A KEY-HOLE BACKUP, MEANING THAT ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO UNLOCK THOSE DOORS WITHOUT HAVING TO CRAWL THROUGH THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IF I NEEDED TO GET A CHILD OUT OF THE BACK-SEAT QUICKLY, THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.

STEERING
IT SUDDENLY BECAME HARD TO STEER, IT WOULD TURN EASILY (NORMAL EFFORT) PART OF THE WAY, AND FEEL STIFF OR TIGHT PART OF THE WAY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED OFF INTERMITTENTLY BUT THEN BECAME CONSTANT. NOT ONLY WAS IT RISKY MAKING A TURN BECAUSE AT FIRST YOU APPLIED MORE FORCE THAN NORMAL AND SUDDENLY IT BECAME EASIER TO TURN CAUSING OVERSTEER. IT DID NOT WANT TO SEEM TO RETURN TO STRAIGHT WHEN YOU FINISHED THE TURN. THIS PROBLEM WAS THERE WHETHER YOU WENT FAST OR SLOW AND ON ALL SURFACES. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. WE PAID NEARLY $500 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT PROBABLY SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE BAD.

I HAVE CHANGED THE STEERING PUMP AND HAVE ALSO CHANGED THE RACK AND PINION BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE .WASTED OVER A THOUSAND DOLLAR ON PARTS AND LABOR.

POWER TRAIN
THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH PREVENTS THE SHIFTER TO ENGAGE THE DRIVE. I HAVE HAD THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH REPLACED ONE TIME UNDER THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTEE. I WILL HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN TOMORROW APRIL 5, 2018. THE DEALER STAID IT IS CAUSED BY CORROSION. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT YOU CANNOT CHANGE GEARS FROM REVERS TO DRIVE. IF IT FAILS TO ENGAGE, YOU MUST RUN THE GEARS UP AND DOWN AGAIN UNTIL IT DOES. SO BACKING OUT INTO TRAFFIC IS VERY DANGEROUS. DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND STREETS, GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE FROM PARKED TO DRIVE ETC. EVEN IF IT IS CAUSE BY SALT ON THE ROADS IN NORTHEAST, OHIO 1 WOULD NOT THINK IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 2 YEARS AND IF SO, THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD HAVE DISCLOSED THIS AS A REOCCURRING MAINTENANCE ITEM.
