TAKATA RECALL I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS RECALLED. THEY SAY IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 10 DAYS TO 3 WEEKS, OR EVEN UP TO MORE THAN 2 MONTHS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR NOW. IN THE MEAN TIME, I HAVE NO CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK. IT IS RECALL BECAUSE OF THE COMPANY'S FAULT, THEN WHY DO I HAVE NO LOANER CAR?

LAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING MY TOYOTA TACOMA A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. TO MY DISMAY, THE RIGHT REAR SHOCK MOUNT PULLED FREE FROM THE FRAME DUE TO RUST THAT WAS TO HAVE BE CORRECTED AT MY DEALERSHIP UNDER THE TOYOTA TRUCK FRAME RECALL. I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS TOYOTA'S CHOICE TO EITHER UNDERCOAT OR REPLACE THE FRAME. MY VEHICLE WAS UNDERCOATED. UNFORTUNATELY I NOW HAVE AN UNSAFE, NON-DRIVEABLE AND UNSALABLE VEHICLE. TOYOTA SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH VEHICLES THEY REPAIR CORRECTLY AND WHICH THEY COVERUP WITH UNDERCOATING. I APPEAL TO THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS RUST IS BLISTERING OUT FROM MULTIPLE AREAS UNDER THE UNDERCOATING. PLEASE HELP!

THE FRAME HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY 2 SEPARATE REPAIR SHOPS AS BEING NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO HOLES. THIS MAKE AND MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR THIS REASON AND WAS BROUGHT INTO A TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER IN 2009. THE FRAME WAS INSPECTED "OK" AND NO WORK WAS DONE. THE FRAME IS NOW ROTTED AND I AM NOW BEING TOLD IT IS INELIGIBLE FOR REPAIR BECAUSE IT IS NOW OUTSIDE OF THE 15-YEAR WARRANTY WINDOW. THIS VEHICLE WAS, IN FACT, BROUGHT TO TOYOTA WITHIN THE WINDOW AND NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT.

THE TACOMA HAS DEVELOPED SIGNIFICANT RUST AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR LEAD SPRING BRACKET. THE BRACKET IS BEGINNING TO PULL AWAY FROM THE FRAME AND THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER USABLE AS A RESULT, THIS IS VERY DISCOURAGING AS THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL AND CURRENTLY HAS 250K MILES ON IT. ALL OTHER PARTS OF THIS VEHICLE IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE.

'04 TOYOTA TACOMA. FRAME RECALL DID NOT APPLY, BUT WAS INSPECTED FOR ISSUE IN 2010 AND GIVEN A CLEAN BILL. HEAR A RATTLE UNDER MY TRUCK AND HAVE A LOOK. SHOCK MOUNT BROKEN, FRAME RUSTED THROUGH AND NEARLY CRACKED IN HALF. UNDRIVEABLE-SAFELY. IF THE FRAME WAS GOOD, AND WAS INSPECTED 7 YEARS AGO, THE FRAME WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT GOOD. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE INSPECTION (IN THIS CASE) WAS INSUFFICIENT TO DETERMINE AN ADEQUATE SERVICE LIFE ON THE FRAME. THE INSPECTIONS SHOULD BE PERFORMED AGAIN AND THE PROCEDURE MODIFIED TO REFLECT THE GOAL OF THE INSPECTION, WHICH THIS INSPECTION DID NOT.

ENGINE
I WAS LEAVING WORK AND PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AS WELL AS THE TRAC OFF LIGHT. I WENT TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND IMMEDIATELY REALIZED THAT WHATEVER WAS WRONG PUT MY TRUCK INTO LIMP MODE AND HAD A 2500 RPM LIMIT. THIS WAS A 60 MPH HIGHWAY AND I COULDN'T GO MORE THAN 35 MPH. THE TRAFFIC COMING WAS IMMEDIATELY UPON ME AND I HAD TO PULL OVER AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AS THESE VEHICLES HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES, HONK, AND SWERVE AROUND ME. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY READ CODE P2442. WHICH IS FOR A STUCK SECONDARY AIR INJECTION VALVE. THEY FOUND WATER IN THE VALVES AND THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN 2ND GEN TACOMAS, MOSTLY THE 2012. THIS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE, ESPECIALLY TO TOYOTA, AND THEY HAVE SO FAR DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS LED TO A VERY DANGEROUS NEAR CRASH INCIDENT WHICH I THEN HAD TO PAY OVER 1200 DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. TOYOTA MUST AT LEAST TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR POORLY DESIGNED PARTS AND COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE VALVES AND PUMPS. THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ON A CONSISTENT AND PERSISTENT BASIS. PLEASE MAKE TOYOTA ADDRESS THIS, THEIR CUSTOMERS DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER.

2016 TOYOTA TACOMA RECALLED FOR LEAKY REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW 11 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP A MONTH AND A HALF OF THAT. I STILL HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS WHILE MY TRUCK SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED SOUTHEAST TOYOTA AND THEY LIED TO ME TELLING ME IF I HAD FINANCED THROUGH TOYOTA FINANCIAL THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE PAYMENTS RIGHT NOW. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THE TRUCK THAT'S BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR 6 WEEKS. TOYOTA SAYS THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL FIX MY TRUCK. I ALSO HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR A NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH THAT WAS NEVER FIXED. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE 15000 MILE TIRE ROTATION AND WAS INFORMED IT HAD A LEAKY REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND HAVE NEVER SEEN MY TRUCK THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR AGAIN,
