ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY ONE WEEK OLD 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA TRUCK'S BLUE TOOTH FUNCTION IS DEFECTIVE. IT WILL NOT READ CONTACTS FROM CELL PHONE. I AM SUPPOSED TO ENTER MY 500 EVER CHANGING CONTACTS ONE BY ONE INTO THE TRUCK'S BLUE TOOTH SYSTEM. OTHERWISE, I WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT MY CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING, DIAL THE NUMBER, THEN TALK ON THE BLUE TOOTH. TOYOTA E-MAILED THAT I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN MY CELL PHONE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THEIR SYSTEM. THERE IS NO WHERE IN TOYOTA TACOMA MANUAL OR ELSE WHERE SPECIFYING THE NECESSITY FOR SPECIFIC MAKE, MODEL, AND CARRIER OF CELL PHONE TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE TOYOTA BLUE TOOTH. MY CELL PHONE IS AN LG, VX8300 MODEL PURCHASED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. MY CARRIER IS VERIZON WIRELESS. AFTER ASKING FOR MY CELL PHONE MAKE, MODEL, AND CARRIER, TOYOTA E-MAILED TO ME THAT MY CELL PHONE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THEIR VEHICLE BLUE TOOTH SYSTEM. TOYOTA DID NOT MENTION WHAT CARRIER, CELL PHONE MAKE, AND MODEL I SHOULD HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WORK IT. THEY ARE IGNORING THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED, I HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY PLANTED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NOTHING WAS IN CONTACT WITH THE GAS PEDAL. I MANAGED TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF TO AVERT ANY CALAMITY. *TR

WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN? TOOK THE TRUCK IN BECAUSE IT WAS HAVING ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS AND TOYOTA SAID IT HAD A BENT FRAME. FROM WHAT? NORMAL DRIVING AFTER 3 YEARS / 112,000MI? THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. FIRST THE BED SIDE BODY PANELS STARTED CRACKING THEN A PANEL INSIDE THE FRONT TIRE WELL STARTED TO CRACK. THEN WHEN TURNING ENGINE RADIATOR FAN HIT SHROUD AROUND IT. ANOTHER UNRELATED TO THE FRAME PROBLEM BUT WORTH MENTIONING IS THE FLIMSY TIN CAN TAIL GATES TOYOTA IS PUTTING ON THESE TRUCKS. MINE ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE HAD THEIRS FOLD IN HALF. IT IS NO SECRET TOYOTA HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TOYOTA TACOMA FRAMES ON OLDER MODELS (1995-2001) EITHER. LEGAL ACTION NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT AGAINST THIS COMPANY FOR THEIR CHEAP BUILDING PRACTICES BEFORE SOME ONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED ON THE ROAD. I'VE GOT A 1990 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WITH 170K MI. AND A 1994 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 91K. MI. AND THEY DON'T HAVE BENT FRAMES OR CRACKING PANELS. I WOULDN'T EXPECT A TRUCK WITH 112K MI. TO HAVE A BENT FRAME FROM NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING." *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I OWN AN "02" TOYOTA TACOMA THAT WAS BUILT AND SENT TO ME IN THAT SAME YEAR. THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED IS THAT THE A/C WENT OUT. I RARELY USE THE A/C IN THE SUMMER TIME, BUT I DO GET A LOT OF USE OUT OF THE HEATER IN THE WINTER. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT NOTICEABLE UNTIL I HAD THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS. I BEGAN TO SMELL A BURNING SMELL. ONCE SMOKE ACTUALLY CAME OUT OF THE VENTS. EVENTUALLY THE FUSE BURNT. I REPLACED IT AND THE A/C WORKED FOR A SHORT WHILE THEN THE FUSE BURNED AGAIN. I BEGAN USING THE A/C TO ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WITH THE A/C. IT RECENTLY STOPPED COMPLETELY AND I CAN HEAR THE FAN TICKING AS IT ROTATES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I DID NOTHING TO AGGRAVATE THIS SITUATION. I HAVE AND CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS' SIDE SHOULDER HARNESS. I CAN'T MOVE FREELY ONCE IT'S LOCKED IN. IT CATCHES AND KEEPS ME FROM MOVING FREELY. I JUST LOCKS ME DOWN AND I CAN'T REACH FOR ANY CONTROLS UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY RELEASES ME SO I CAN MOVE. IT SEEMS THAT ALL OF THIS OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS. I NEVER EXPECTED SUCH POOR QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP FROM SUCH A TRUSTED AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER. HAD I KNOWN OR HAD ANY IDEA THAT THIS WOULD EVENTUALLY RESULT IN NO A/C, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT IN DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NOW I HAVE NO A/C AND AM NOT FINANCIALLY PREPARED TO PAY THE COST INVOLVED IN REPAIRING IT. I WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE I EVEN CONSIDER PURCHASING ANOTHER TOYOTA PRODUCT. I ALSO HAD ONE OF MY TAILGATE WIRE ROPE SUPPORTS JUST CORRODE AND BREAK. HOW THIS HAPPENED I DON'T KNOW. IT IS INSULATED WITH A THICK PLASTIC, THE ENTIRE LENGTH. THIS IS PENDING AS IS THE A/C. I WENT TO THE TOYOTA PRODUCT FOR THE QUALITY AND ENDED UP REGRETTING THAT I THOUGHT THAT TOYOTA WAS A MARQUE FOR QUALITY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY TOYOTA PU, WHEN STOPPING, WILL OCCASIONALLY EITHER HAVE THE ACCELERATOR STICK OR THE TRANSMISSION NOT DISENGAGE, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL TO ALLOW THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK. I HAVE DISCUSSED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE DEALER AND THE MAIN OFFICE IN CA WITHOUT ANY RESULTS. THEY CLAIM THAT IT HAS TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME BEFORE THEY CAN FIX IT. MY CONTENTION IS THAT I WILL END UP IN AN ACCIDENT IF I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. UNTIL THE DEALER SUGGESTED I SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, I WAS TRYING TO HAVE THE BRAKES OVERCOME THE ENGINE TORQUE TO STOP THE TRUCK. OF THE FOUR TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS, THE ENGINE ACTUALLY DIED DUE TO THE BRAKES STOPPING THE TRUCK WHILE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS STILL TRYING TO DRIVE THE TRUCK FORWARD. TWICE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO ITS IDLE STATE BY ITSELF DURING MY STOPPING AND ONCE I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL SO I COULD STOP THE TRUCK. THE MANAGER OF NORTHHILLS TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO DISCUSS THIS WITH ME AFTER MY LEAVING THREE MESSAGES. *TR

2001 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH FRAME ROT. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN CONFISCATED AS IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN 3 WKS NOW AND TOYOTA CAN'T EVEN GIVE ME A COMPLETION DATE. THEY ARE STILL INSPECTING THE VEHICLE. MY RENTAL COVERAGE IS ONLY GOOD FOR 30 DAYS THEN I NEED TO PAY FOR IT. TOYOTA IS TELLING ME TO BE PATIENT AS THEY NEED TO TEND TO THE 1995-2000 CUSTOMERS FIRST AS THEY HAD ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION THAT DID NOT PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE ALTHOUGH ITS THE SAME FRAME PROBLEM. MY FRAME WAS CORRODED AND WASN'T GOING TO PASS INSPECTION NOR WAS THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE. I AM LEFT PAYING ON A VEHICLE I NO LONGER HAVE IN MY POSSESSION AND CASE MANAGER TELLING ME TO BE PATIENT!!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO COVER THE ROTTING FRAME ISSUE IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES SINCE ITS TOYOTA'S PROBLEM, NOT THE CONSUMERS. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! *TR

RUSTED FRAME ON 2002 TOYOTA TACOMA. TOOK IT TO HALTERMAN'S TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN JUNE 2006. DEALERSHIP SAID IT DOES NOT WARRANT RUST ON FRAME. WAS TOLD TO UNDERCOAT THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS UNDERCOATED AUGUST 2006. UNDERCOATING STARTED TO PEEL AWAY JANUARY 2007. NOW THE FRAME LOOKS AS IF IT'S STARTING TO RUST THROUGH. THIS IS A CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE I HAD A 1999 TOYOTA TACOMA THAT HAD TOTAL RUST PERFORATION IN FRAME JANUARY 2006. I SOLD IT FOR A THIRD OF IT'S KELLY BLUE BOOK RETAIL VALUE IN MARCH 2006 BEFORE TOYOTA IMPLEMENTED THEIR BUYBACK PROGRAM IN MARCH 2008 FOR 1995-2000 TACOMAS DISPLAYING RUST PERFORATION. I NOW SEE THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN AND TOYOTA WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I AM BEGINNING TO BECOME AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE IN FEAR OF THE FRAME BREAKING FROM UNDERNEATH ME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT FRAME WAS CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND CONCLUDED THAT DUE TO THE SEVERE FRAME CORROSION, THE VEHICLE WAS A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE ROAD. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2001 TACOMA FRAME INTO THE RECALL; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,946 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 122,946. UPDATED 10/03/08 *BF UPDATED 10/07/08. *JB

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO A DEFECTIVE FRAME ON MY 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA PICK-UP THAT WAS PURCHASED USED IN FEBRUARY OF 2007 WITH 102,000 MILES. A NYS INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED UPON PURCHASE. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 130K. SEPTEMBER 6TH, 2008, WHILE INSTALLING AT A LOCAL TIRE AND BREAK SHOP, THE TECH NOTICED SERIOUS FRAME ROT ON THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE OF MY TRUCK. THE SHOP MANAGER INFORMED ME OF A VOLUNTARY TOYOTA BUY-BACK FOR 1999-2000 MODELS, WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN POL08-03, DATED 3/7/08. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND HAD THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY INSPECTED BY LIA TOYOTA SERVICE OF COLONIE NY. I WAS INFORMED THE FRAME WAS SERIOUSLY ROTTED, AND THE TRUCK NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS TOLD THE FOLLOWING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION: 1. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT 'GO TO BAT FOR ME' TO ASSIST ME WITH DEALING WITH TOYOTA FOR A RECALL REQUEST; 2. 2001 MODELS ARE NOT "USUALLY COVERED" IN THE RECALL. AND; 3. IF COVERED, I WOULD NOT GET A LOANER CAR; I WOULD NOT RECEIVE THE 150% VALUE AS IS STANDARD FOR 1995-2001 MODELS THIS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE. WHY SHOULD THE 2001 MODELS BE EXCLUDED FROM THE WARRANTY AND RECALL COVERAGE AFFORDED BY THE 1995-2001 MODELS? MY TRUCK IS NEWER - YET IT HAS THE SAME FRAME ROT. THE FACT THAT THE DEALER REFUSED TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS PROCESS IS ADDITIONALLY INFURIATING. TOYOTA HAS YET TO CONTACT ME VIA THE CASE MANAGER THEY HAVE ASSIGNED ME. I DON'T KNOW IF TOYOTA WILL PAY ME 100% OF THE VALUE OF MY TRUCK FOR MARCH OF 2008 OR AUGUST OF 2008. THE BLUE BOOK VALUE OF MY TRUCK HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. DEFECTIVE FRAMES ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THE 1995-2000 MODEL YEAR TACOMAS - SO WHY IS TOYOTA EXCLUDING NEWER MODELS? THIS IS DANGEROUS, PERHAPS EVEN CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RECALLING TACOMA TRUCKS MANUFACTURED AFTER 2000 THAT ARE EXPERIENCING MASSIVE FRAME RUST - WITHOUT DOING SO THE COMPANY IS ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF TACOMA OWNERS. *TR UPDATED 10/22/08*JB UPDATED 02/24/10

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
MY PROBLEM DEALS WITH A 2007, TACOMA, X-CAB, PRERUNNER, V6, THAT'S EQUIPPED WITH LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT EVERY TIME THAT I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND GET BACK INTO IT, START THE VEHICLE, AND RELEASES THE PARKING BRAKES'THERE'S A GRABBING FEELING/NOISE IN THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK. THE NOISE YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL IT, AS THE VEHICLE MOVES OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A NORMAL THING THAT ALL TOYOTA'S THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL DO. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND GRABBING NOISE OF THIS VEHICLE. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THIS; I FEEL THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IN THE REAR END. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2007 (NEW), THERE WAS NO GRABBING NOISE/FEELING. WHY NOW, ALMOST A YEAR LATER. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IS THIS NORMAL OF HAVING A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL? THE NOISE SEEMS TO BE GETTING LOUDER AND I AM WORRIED THAT THE VEHICLE GOES OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEN THE DEALERSHIP WILL TELL ME THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR END. COSTING ME DOLLARS TO REPAIRED. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE? THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR LEAST FIVE MONTHS OR MORE. *TR
