SERVICE BRAKES
THE CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. AS I TURNED THE WHEEL AS IT WAS IN REVERSE THE CAR BEGAN TO ACT WEIRD AND THE BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO WORK. I PUMPED THE BRAKES 3 TIMES, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AND THE CAR PARKED BEHIND ME WAS HIT. I WAS GOING SLOW WHEN I REVERSED, HOWEVER MY WHOLE BUMPER SNAPPED OFF AND MY TAILLIGHT SHATTERED. THE TRUCK SEEMED TO HAVE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING USED....THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK JUST FINE AFTER, HOWEVER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WEREN'T ANY CODES INDICATING A LOSS OF BRAKES. THERE WAS NO FLUID OR LEAKAGE ON THE COMPARTMENT EITHER. EVERYTHING WAS FINE I WAS TOLD, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ADD UP FOR ME. THIS TRUCK WAS SECOND-HAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP, SO I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS PART OF THE TRUCKS THAT HAD A RECALL ON BRAKES. THE CURRENT RECALL ON IT HAD TO DO WITH THE PUMP WHICH THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR.

I TOOK MY TACOMA FOR STATE INSPECTION AND THEY COULD NOT LIFT IT BECAUSE THE FRAME HAS A HOLE THROUGH IT AT THE FRONT MOUNTING POINT OF THE REAR SPRING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME HITTING A SEVER BUMP OR A POTHOLE COULD SNAP THE FRAME IN HALF. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE FRAME, ONLY ON THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER. I'M NOT A COMPUTER EXPERT AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO ADD A PICTURE OF THE FRAME TO THIS DOCUMENT. I DO KNOW THAT I NEED THE TRUCK BUT I AM UNABLE TO GET IT INSPECTED TO DO SO. PLEASE HELP.

WATER CAME IN THROUGH THE BACK OF THE CAB FROM THE OUTSIDE CAB LIGHT I NOTICED IT WHILE GOING THROUGH A TOUCHLESS DRIVE THROUGH CAR WASH. THE WATER SOAKED THROUGH ON THE HEADLINER AND SEAT LEAVING A WATER STAIN AND POSSIBLE MOLD. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE WATER WAS COMING THROUGH THE CAB LIGHT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK. THIS PROBLEM WAS POSTED ON TOYOTA'S BULLETIN BY OTHER 2017 TACOMA OWNERS.

DURING HEAVY RAINFALL, BACK DRIVER SIDE GETS WET. I NOTICED THIS BACK IN MARCH AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ASKED ME TO CALL BACK IN A WEEK BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSING DUE TO COVID. I'VE HAD MEDICAL ISSUES SINCE THEN AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT THEM. BUT I'LL TRY TO TOMORROW. NOW THE WATER FROM THE RAINS ARE GETTING TO THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THE TWO SEATS. SMELLS BAD. I FEEL THAT THE SEAT FOAMS ARE BAD. AND IT'S GROWING MILDEW ON THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE (ON THE CARPET) UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE BACK SEAT. THE TOP OF THE INSIDE OF THE ROOF ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS ONLY SHOWING WATER THAT HIGH. THE SEAM ON TOP OF THE TRUCK SEEMS SECURE SO I FEEL LIKE IT'S COMING THROUGH THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT (THE ONE THAT IS ABOVE THE WINDOW). I KNOW IT'S GETTING WET WHEN THE TRUCK IS STILL. PRETTY SURE IT IS, AS WELL, WHEN THE TRUCK IS MOVING. ALSO, I MENTIONED THAT I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE BACK IN MARCH. BUT THE PICS THAT I SUBMITTED ARE FROM THE RAIN THAT WE JUST GOT TODAY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN FEB 2019, I PURCHASED A NEW TOYOTA TACOMA FROM CAVENDER TOYOTA, LOCATED IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. IN LESS THAN TWO (2) YEARS AND WITH ONLY 7,084 MILES, I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES PERTAINING TO ITS RADAR SENSOR SYSTEM AND FUEL PUMP. THE FORMER ALERTS THE DRIVER WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OBSTACLE IS TOO CLOSE; THE REMEDY WAS INSTALLED BY THE DEALER THIS YEAR. THE LATTER REMAINS AND IS STILL PENDING DEVELOPMENT/DELIVERY BY HEADQUARTERS (HQ) TOYOTA PROJECTED FOR LATE SEP 2020. IN THE INTERIM, THE RISK IS THE 2019 TOYOTA TACOMA CAN STALL WHILE DRIVING. ON 6 AUG 2020, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE EXITING MY DRIVE WAY. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND MANAGER ADVISED NOTHING CAN BE DONE SINCE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THEY SAID THE RISK IS THE TRUCK MAY STALL AGAIN AND TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE IT TOWED. THEY ALSO STATED THE FUEL PUMP RECALL PERTAINS TO THE TOYOTA TACOMA, COROLLA, SIENNA, AND HIGHLANDER. DUE TO SAFETY HAZARD POSED AND MY DISSATISFACTION WITH THE RESPONSES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND MANAGER, THEY RECOMMENDED CONTACTING HQ TOYOTA TO RELAY MY VIEWS. ON 7 AUG, I DID SO. THE HQ CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE ADVOCATE PROVIDED THE SAME RESPONSE. SPECIFICALLY, NOTHING FURTHER CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE SINCE THE PART IS BEING DEVELOPED. ON 17 AUG, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. I IMMEDIATELY REACHED OUT TO ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED FOR TWO HOURS IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS LOADED AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE NOW RESIDES AT THE CAVENDER TOYOTA DEALER'S PARKING LOT WHERE IT SITS WITH OTHER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, UNTIL THE PART IS PRODUCED/SHIPPED AND CAN BE FIXED. ON 18 AUG 2020, I PROVIDED AN UPDATE TO HQ TOYOTA ON MY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND SAFETY CONCERNS. THEY REITERATED NOTHING FURTHER CAN BE DONE AT THIS TIME.

I HAVE A BLACK-COLORED 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA PICKUP TRUCK. FOR MANY YEARS, I'VE WONDERED WHY THE PAINT ON THE HOOD CHIPPED OFF IN TINY CIRCLES, UNLIKE ANY OTHER MODEL VEHICLE THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED. RECENTLY, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW BADLY RUSTED A SECTION OF THE ROOF OF MY CAB WAS. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE AND FOUND PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS SEEMED TO OWN PICK-UPS THAT WERE ALSO PAINTED BLACK, AND WERE ALSO 2006 MODELS. THE RUST PATTERNS SEEMED SIMILAR IN EVERY PICTURE I VIEWED, A PORTION OF THE ROOF ABOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE, RUSTED THE LENGTH FROM NEAR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AREA TO NEAR THE BACK OF THE CAB. IN MY OPINION, AND BASED ON THE PICTURES OF SIMILAR INSTANCES I'VE VIEWED ONLINE, THERE SEEMS TO POSSIBLY BE SOME COMPELLING EVIDENCE OF A DEFICIENCY IN THE PAINTING METHOD OR MATERIAL USED ON THIS COLOR/YEAR TRUCK. IS THERE A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN IN THE WORKS? I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE AS SOMETHING DOES NOT SEEM QUITE RIGHT AND THAT THEY SHOULD ADDRESS THESE ANOMALIES IN AN EFFORT TO REACH A FAIR RESOLUTION? BTW, THE REAR BUMPER'S EXCEPTIONALLY RUSTED OUT TOO, AND THE PLASTIC HEADLIGHT COVERINGS ON THIS MODEL HAVE CLOUDED UP WORSE THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE MAKE, AS MOST OTHER HEADLIGHTS THAT I AM FAMILIAR WITH ARE MADE OF GLASS.

I HAD 2 PREVIOUS RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE TO CHECK FOR A RUSTED FRAME. . . . WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I HAD IT UNDER COATED AND OF COURSE IT PASSED THE TWO INSPECTIONS. .THE UNDERCOATING HAS NOW FLAKED OFF SO NOW THE FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH . . I TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP AND HAD A PATCH WELDED ON TO THE FRAME. . . TOYOTA NOW SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR A RUSTED FRAME. . . I HAVE TO QUESTION THIS AFTER RECEIVING THE TWO PREVIOUS RECALLS. . .

THE FRAME WAS NOT RUSTED PRIOR TO THE COATING BEING APPLIED. THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE THAT THE FRAME STARTED TO RUST WHILE WASHING THE VEHICLE AT UNDER THE REAR FENDER WELLS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SUBFRAME. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007. RECENTLY UPON MY PERIODIC INSPECTION OF THE FRAME I NOTICED ALL THE FRAME WELDS IN THE UPPER FRAME AREA RUSTED AND THE WELDS APPEARED TO BE BREAKING ON THE FRAME. IF THIS IS IN FACT THE CASE THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER ROAD WORTHY. THE FRAME OF ANY VEHICLE SHOULD LAST THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS 153000 ORIGINAL MILES ON THE ODOMETER.
