ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EMISSIONS AIR PUMP VALVE WENT OUT WITH 60,200 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS BONE STOCK AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. AFTER RESEARCH ITS SEEMS THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS SAME EXACT PART ON THE 2012 TACOMAS. TOYOTA EXTENDED A RECALL ON THE TUNDRA'S BECAUSE OF THIS PART, BUT NOT THE TACOMAS. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN LIMP MODE AND WILL NOT GO PAST 40MPH, AND THE DEALER WANTS $1,075 TO FIX IT. THIS OCCURRED ON MY WAY TO WORK THIS MORNING WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, AND WAS QUITE SCARY TO NOT BE ABLE TO GO OVER 40MPH ON A BAY AREA FREEWAY WITH CARS HONKING AND FLYING PAST ME.

STEERING
THE LOWER STEERING LINKAGE U JOINT (INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT) FAILED DUE TO SIMPLE RUST. IT IS UNPROTECTED AND OPEN TO THE ELEMENTS AND THE FAILURE NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SYMPTOMS WERE EXTREME HARD STEERING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD GOING AROUND A CORNER. THIS WAS A SUDDEN ISSUE, NOT A GRADUAL PROBLEM AND OCCURRED AT ALL DRIVING SPEEDS. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 100,000 MILES ON IT.

BOUGHT TRUCK NEW IN 2012 AND MAINTAINED 100% RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE AT DEALER. AT 64,500 MILEAGE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, AND WE DROVE TRUCK STRAIGHT TO DEALER SERVICE GARAGE. DEALER DETERMINED SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP HAD CONTAMINATED WITH WATER, RESULTING IN RUST IN SYSTEM (VALVES ALSO). REPLACED PUMP AND VALVE ASSEMBLY AND GASKET. SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THE SAME PARTS WERE USED AND RECALLED IN RESPONSE TO REPORTS OF AIR INDUCTION PUMP ASSEMBLIES AND/OR AIR INJECTION SWITCHING VALVES ISSUES ON THEIR 2007-2010 TUNDRA AND 2008-2010 SEQUOIA MODELS, TOYOTA HAS DECIDED TO INCREASE ITS WARRANTY ON THESE PARTS AND IS EVEN OFFERING A REIMBURSEMENT IF YOU ALREADY HAD THIS ISSUE FIXED. TACOMA'S NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL REIMBURSEMENT! WHEN WE ASKED ABOUT HOW TO PREVENT FUTURE ISSUES, SERVICE TECH INFORMED US THE PART HAS BEEN "RE-DESIGNED" TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM RE-OCCURRING. TOTAL BILL FROM DEALER WAS $1968.29. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD, NEVER BEEN IN FLOOD CONDITIONS, AND IS A COMMUTER VEHICLE ON PAVED ROADS.

I HAVE HAD A 1997 TOYOTA TACOMA AND THE FRAME BROKE. NOW I HAVE A 1999 TOYOTA TACOMA AND THE FRAME HAS BROKEN BECAUSE OF RUST. WE WANT TO KNOW IF THE TOYOTA IS STANDING BY AND REPAIRING OR IF THEY ARE GIVING COMPENSATION FOR THIS ISSUE. HOW DO WE FIND OUT ABOUT THIS? THE TRUCK LOOKS VERY NICE. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS AND LOOKS LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DEFECTIVE.

TRANSMISSION HAS JERKY SHIFTING AND LOW AT FLUID. PURCHASED 4X2 AUTOMATIC ON FEB 2017 WITH 20 MILES ON IT. WITHIN 2 DAYS OF DRIVING IT I FELT THE HARD JERKS OF THE TRANSMISSION AT THE START OF THE DAY. ONCE IT RUNS FOR MORE THAN 7 MINUTES THE HARD SHIFTING OF GEARS STOPS. I CALLED SERVICE DEPT AT THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION LEARNING, NOT TO WORRY IT IS NORMAL AND IT WILL STOP AFTER 600 MILES. I ALSO NOTICED IT IS VERY STIFF SHIFTING FROM P TO R AND D IN MORNINGS ONLY. AT 650MILES THE HARD SHIFTING CONTINUED. I WENT TO DEALER AND AFTER A CURSORY INSPECTION AND 5 MINUTE DRIVE TECH TOLD ME NOTHING IS WRONG. I ASKED HIM TO CHECK THE ATF LEVEL BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE WROTE ONLINE ABOUT LOW ATF LEVELS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. TECH SAID THEY DO NOT SEND OUT VEHICLES WITHOUT PROPER LEVELS OF FLUIDS AND IT COULD NOT BE. I ASKED MANAGER TO MAKE SOMEONE CHECK. THEY OF COURSE WOULD NOT LET ME WATCH THEM IN THE SERVICE BAY WHEN THEY TOOK IT BACK BUT LATER INSISTED THEY DID CHECK MY ATF AND IT WAS FULL. IT IS NOW AT 827 MILES AND I AM GOING TO A DIFFERENT DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK FOR ME BUT I AM WORRIED THE LONGER I DRIVE IT WITH LOW ATF IT WILL DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION WORSE.
