EXTERIOR LIGHTING, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
UPON ARRIVAL AT THE LOCAL LAUNDRY MAT I HEARD WHAT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE A LOW CALIBER GIUN SHOR SECONDS LATER THERE WAS HEAVY BROWN SMOKE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THEN SECONDS AFTER THAT TWO FOOT FLAMES CONSUMED THE FRONT BUMPER. THE FOG LIGHT WIRING HARNESS MELTED AND THE HEAT WAS SO INTENSE IT CAUSED THE BUMPER TO CATCH FIRE. CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS HOPEFUL THEY WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE. BUT AFTER SENDING AN OVER PAID INVESTIGATOR WHO FLAT OUT LIED ABOUT MODIFICATIONS DONE ON THE TRUCK( WRONG) TOYOTA THEN TRIE TO TELL NE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER ON THE VEHICLE SO THAT ON TOP OF PHANTOM MODS PRECLUDES TOYOTA OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TOYOTA YOU'VE DONE NOTHING BUT LIE ABOUT THIS INCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN A DEATH TRAP!*DT *AS

I'M WRITING YOU BECAUSE I HAD MY 2001 TACOMA INSPECTED FOR THE FRAME RUST RECALL IN 2010. AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WOULD BE SPRAYED WITH AN INHIBITOR TO PREVENT RUST. THE VEHICLE FRAME HAS SINCE RUSTED AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE SPRAY INHIBITOR OBVIOUSLY DID NOT WORK OR WAS APPLIED INCORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING THESE SIGNS WHILE DRIVINH.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE MANUFACTURER HAS EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REMEDY (SEE BELOW). MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY (PER THE INSTRUCTION OF AUTONATION FORT MYERS) SINCE MARCH 10, 2020. I WAS PROVIDED A RENTAL THROUGH AUTONATION IN FORT MYERS, FL (AT THEIR EXPENSE) UNTIL THE REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THE END OF MARCH, BEGINNING OF APRIL. THEN I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WOULDN'T BE UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER, MIDDLE OF OCTOBER. MEANWHILE, MY TRUCK IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY ACCUMULATING ADDITIONAL ISSUES BECAUSE I WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO DRIVE IT. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT MULTIPLE VEHICLE TYPES HAVE ALREADY BEEN REMEDIED AND THAT TACOMA'S HAVE NOT. JAN 13,2020 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 20TB02 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 20V012 RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE SUMMARY THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRAME IN 2010 AND THEY SAID UNDERCOATING WOULD PROTECT THAT HOWEVER NOW THE FRAME IS RUSTED AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT IT WILL FAIL. IT ONLY HAS 90,000 MILES ON IT AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE A WARRANTY ON THE FRAME.

WHEELS
I BOUGHT ALL 4 OF MY TIRES AT THE TIRE SHOP AND I HAVEN'T DROVE MORE THEN 5,000 MILES ON THEM AND IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A TREAD SEPARATION SO I WENT TO TAKE THEM IN TO CHANGE MY TIRES BECAUSE I HAD WARRANTY ON THEM . WHEN I TOLD ABOUT IT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND I WOULD HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES AND THE WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER IT . I NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS AT WORK AND GRABBING MY DRINK FROM THE TRUCK . I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT'S 1 AND SAFETY IS MY CONCERN AND WANT MY FAMILY TO BE SAFE . AND FOR ME TO BUY NEW TIRES WOULD PUT A DENT ON MY POCKET BECAUSE I GOT OTHER BILLS AND PRIORITIES TO PAY . SO MY CONCERN IS THAT SHOULD MY WARRANTY COVER MY TIRES AND IS THERE A MANUFACTORY PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES ? I DID TAKE THEM TO 3 OTHER TIRE SHOPS AND 2 OUT OF 3 SAID IT LOOKS LIKE THERE TREAD SEPARATING AND THE OTHER COULDN'T REALLY TELL HOW THAT WOULD HAPPEN .

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING AND APPLYING MY BRAKES THEY DO NOT ALWAYS SEEM LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO STOP ME IN TIME. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE IS GRABBING AND THE STOP IS JERKY AND NOT SMOOTH. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE SPED UP ON IT'S OWN TO RESUME PREVIOUS SPEED SO IT APPEARS THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DISENGAGE WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. I FIRST NOTICED A BRAKING ISSUED WHEN I STARTED DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2020. THOUGHT PERHAPS I JUST HAD TO BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING THE PAST 2 1/2 MONTHS THAT I'VE OWNED IT. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED SO I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT TO BE LOOKED AT. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALERSHIP AND NOW HAS ABOUT 3500 MILES ON IT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO SERVICE DEPT IN GETTLE TOYOTA ON CORTEZ RD IN BRADENTON FL ON 9/18/20 AND THEY SAID BASICALLY "IT'S THE NATURE OF THE BEAST. THEY TESTED IT AND THOUGHT AT FIRST THE BRAKES SEEMED REALLY SENSITIVE BUT THEN COMPARED IT TO A TEST DRIVE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE LOT AND DETERMINED THAT'S JUST HOW THE TRUCK IS. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE. AFTER SPENDING OVER $40,000 ON A TRUCK I'D LIKE TO FEEL SAFE. ALWAYS THOUGHT TOYOTA STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS BUT NOW NOT SO SURE. IF YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY CONCERN, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
