AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, SUSPENSION
NEVER RECEIVED RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS? SAFETY HARNESS IN THE BACK SEATS WHERE MY RAND KIDS RIDE WILL NOT TIGHTEN UP. LEAF-SPRINGS BOW UP IN THE MIDDLE NOT DOWN? HAVE REPLACED U-JOINTS MORE TIMES THEN ON MY 97 FORD. PLUS CARRIER BEARINGS BECAUSE OF THE LEAF SPRINGS AND STOPPED DRIVING IT BECAUSE IT GOES BACK AND FORTH ON THE ROAD. MY REAR END HOWLS AND NEEDS REPLACED BECAUSE THE REAR END IS HIGHER THEN THE TRANNY BUT THERE HAS BEEN 7 RECALLS ON THIS MODEL AND ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THEM ON LINE. YOU MUST BE DOING A BETTER JOB OR YOUR FIRED!!! LOL BUT IF YOU CARE I THANK YOU BUT AT LEAST MAKE THEM FIX THESE SAFETY ISSUES, OR AT LEAST MAKE US AWARE OF THEM INSTEAD OF HIDING THEM. DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH RIPPING AMERICANS OFF . TO DO SO IS NO BETTER THEN THEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER, STARTED BUCKING AND THEN STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. LUCKILY THE ROAD WAS FAIRLY EMPTY AND THERE WAS NO COLLISION SO NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE TRAC OFF AND CHECK ENGINE CAME ON; CHARGING SYSTEM ERROR SHOWED. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONLY 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP REPORT SAID IT WAS THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR, REPLACED IT WITH AN "ENHANCED" VERSION AND THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS NORMALLY AGAIN. TACOMAWORLD.COM HAS HAD MANY MEMBERS REPORT SIMILAR FAILURES, ESPECIALLY INVOLVING THE 2016 TACOMA.

ENGINE
CRANK POSITION SENSOR-TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN IT BUCKED AND STALLED. IT STARTED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT A BLOCK TO MY MOM'S HOUSE/GARAGE, WHERE I KEEP MY TRUCK. AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE, IT BUCKED AND STALLED AGAIN. I REPLACED THE CPS (CRANK POSITION SENSOR) BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT COST ME $110 BUCK. I'M REALLY GLAD I WASN'T OUT CAMPING OR IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURRED, AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE SITUATION.

ENGINE
MY 2012 TOYOTA TACOMA FIRST STARTED THROWING A P2442 ERROR CODE AND I HAD A MECHANIC CLEAR IT TWICE. NOW IT IS THROWING A P2440 AND P2442 ERROR CODE. THIS IS THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM VALVE ASSEMBLY. BOTH BANK 1 AND BANK 2 VALVES ARE STUCK OPEN. I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE (1-800-331-4331) AND FILED A COMPLAINT AFTER SEEING ALL OF THE OTHER 2012'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY JUST WANT ME TO GET IT TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO READ THE CODE AND THEN GO FROM THERE. UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T LIVE NEAR A DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT MY LOCAL MECHANIC JUST PERFORMED. THE TRUCK IS IN LIMP MODE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRAC OFF LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.
