STEERING:RACK AND PINION
VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SHAKING IN THE STEERING AND TIRES CONTINUALLY WEARING ON THE INSIDE OF EACH FRONT WHEEL, THESE PROBLEMS ARE DUE TO THE RACK AND PINION UNIT, THERE IS TOO MUCH LATERAL PLAY WITHIN THE UNIT, THIS CAUSES DIFFICULTY WITH THE ALIGNMENT, CONSUMER STATES THAT THE RUBBER ON THE RACK AND PINION IS EITHER TOO SOFT OR IT NEEDS TO BE SHIMMED BEHIND THE SHACKLE SO THERE IS LESS PLAY IN THE UNIT. *SLC

#739015January 8, 2001
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THROTTLE VALVE CABLE BROKE DURING NORMAL USE OF THE TRUCK. NOTICED A CHANGE IN TRANSMISSION FUNCTION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT TOO SOON AND WAS NOT ABLE TO SPEED UP NORMALLY. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT FROM FIRST TO THIRD GEAR AT 10MPH AND THEN TO 4TH GEAR AT 30 MPH. IT WOULD BYPASS 2ND GEAR SO I HAD TO SHIFT IT MANUALLY IN ORDER TO ACHEIVE A SPEEDY ENOUGH START TO GET ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO OCCURRED IN MY BROTHERS 96 TACOMA ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE FOR IT TO BE OCCURRING IN THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR TRUCK ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THE CABLE WAS RUSTED SO IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS EXPOSED SOMEWHERE IN THE ENGINE THUS CAUSING IT TO GET WEATHERED AND BREAK. REPAIRS WERE OVER $300 DOLLARS AT DEALERSHIP AND I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER SOME WARRANTY SINCE IT SEEMS LIKE THAT PART SHOULD HAVE HAD A HOUSING TO PROTECT IT FROM BEING WEATHERED AND RUSTED. I BELIEVE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS SAME THING WITH THIS SAME MODEL AND YEAR TRUCK SINCE IT HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME FAMILY HERE. *AK

TIRES
I PURCHASED A 2000 TACOMA IN THE MONTH OF JULY. I HAVE NO PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR THE GOODYEAR TIRES. THE GOODYEAR TIRES HAVE BEEN FOUND DEFECTIVE BY SEARS AUTOMOTIVE AND TOYOTA AND SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP. FOR MORE THAN A MONTH, I HAVE CONTACTED GOODYEAR REGARDING THE PROBLEM, BUT UNDER MY WARRANTY, I TOOK MY 2000 TACOMA TO A LOCAL DEALER. MIGUEL PEREZ (1045) - ROGERS AND ROGERS TOYOTA, PHONE # (760) 353-9300 ATTENDED ME AND FOR SEVERAL WEEKS CONFIRMED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WOULD BE REPLACED. AS OF TODAY MY TIRES HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED, EXCEPT FOR ONE TIRE, WHICH I WAS CHARGED $7.50. , I AM CONFIDENT YOU WILL WANT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE QUICKLY AND THOROUGHLY. I AM ASKING THAT YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS IT CONCERNS ME AND OTHER DRIVERS, SINCE THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER STATED TO ME, "THERE WAS NO MORE THEY CAN DO."*AK (TIRESIZE: P265/75R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/75R15 )
