STRUCTURE:BODY
97,224 MILES. THE FRAME IS RUSTED AND BROKEN AT THE LEFT FRONT NEAR THE CAB MOUNT UNDER THE DOOR. MY TRUCK WAS MADE IN CANADA, BUT I PURCHASED IT USED IN MINNEASOTA, SO IT'S REGISTERED IN US. CANADA'S FRAME WARRANTY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REQUIRES MY TRUCK TO BE REGISTERED IN CANADA TO QUALIFY FOR A NEW FRAME AND TOYOTA US REQUIRES MY TRUCK TO BE MADE IN THE US TO QUALIFY FOR THE MASSIVE FRAME RECALL HERE. WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE MY OTHERWISE VERY NICE TRUCK SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN? THE CRACK WAS DISCOVERED DURING AN OIL CHANGE AND I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT 1/2 A MILE SINCE. THANK YOU.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS THE WEATHER INCREASES ABOVE 85 TO 90 DEGREES THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL AND THE HAZARD FLASHERS CEASE WORKING. ONCE THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE HAS CEASED AND THE TEMPERATURE AND THE VEHICLE COOL DOWN NORMAL FUNCTION RETURNS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BECAUSE WHEN USING THE A/C IN THE CAB THE COOL AIR HAS NO EFFECT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. LEAVING ME WITHOUT SIGNALS WHILE DRIVING.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I DO NOT SEE THE RECALL FOR THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY ON MY TACOMA. I READ THAT THIS VIN IS PART OF A RECALL FOR THE WIRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT CONTROLS MY PASSENGER AIRBAG, CRUISE CONTROL AND SOME OTHER FUNCTIONS. IT HAS MALFUNCTIONED. WHY IS IT NOT LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE? WHEN I CHECKED ON THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL, IT SHOWS THAT MY MODEL, ACCORDING TO THE VIN DOES QUALIFY FOR THIS. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING, AND MY CRUISE CONTROL IS NO LONGER WORKING AT SPEED.

STEERING
THE STEERING ON MY TACOMA SOMETIME STIFFENS AND DOES NOT RETURN BACK TO CENTER OR SOMETIMES YOU CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT DUE TO THE LOWER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT RUSTING IN ORDER TO DRIVE SAFELY YOU HAVE TO TEMPORARILY PUT WHITE LITHIUM GREASE ALL OVER IT BECAUSE THE DESIGN IS WIDE OPEN TO ROAD SPRAY AND SALT I'M ALMOST GOT INTO 5 HEAD-ON COLLISIONS.. AND RESEARCHING ONLINE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND ALSO VERY DANGEROUS THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME KIND OF PROTECTION OVER THE SMALL U JOINT IN THE STEERING SHAFT SPRAYING IT WITH PENETRATING OIL IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A $500 REPAIR AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT WILL LAST BEING UNPROTECTED ONCE AGAIN

AIR BAGS
I HAD THE SPIRAL CABLE FIXED UNDER THE AIRBAG RECALL IN 2012. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $500 TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME IF THE FIX BREAKS THEN THERE WAS NEVER REALLY A FIX. SO I GUESS NOW I WILL BE DRIVING WITHOUT AN AIRBAG SINCE I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET THIS FIXED. I WILL NEVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA AND WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO DO THE SAME!!
