STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
BOUGHT A 2007 TACOMA 4X4 WITH APPROX. 300 MILES ON IT. IT HAD BEEN STOLEN FROM A LOT AND THEREFORE HAD A RED TITLE. WE GOT A LETTER INFORMING US THE FRAME WAS POSSIBLY RUSTING AND TO TAKE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER WHICH WE DID AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS RUSTED BEYOND BEING REPAIRED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. AFTER BEING TOLD IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE TO GET THE FRAME IN BEFORE IT COULD BE REPAIRED WE WAITED ABOUT A YEAR, IN THE MEAN TIME WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HOLD UP WAS. AFTER A YEAR OR SO WAIT WE WERE TOLD THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE IT HAS A RED TITLE, THIS TRUCK WAS NOT WATER DAMAGED OR IN AN ACCIDENT, SO NOW THE FRAME IS ALMOST RUSTED INTO WITH AROUND 100,00 MILES ON IT, PLEASE TELL ME HOW IT GETTING STOLEN HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FRAME RUSTING THRU. LL HAD A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE TRUCKS BECAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING. I WOULD GREATLY LOVE TO HEAR HOW THEY CAN AVOID REPAIRING THIS ONE!! AT A LATER DATE WE HAD A RECALL ON THE REAR SPRINGS AND THEY REPLACED THEM... . .

AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL NOTICE FOR A RUSTED FRAME IN 2008 OUR 2000 TACOMA WAS INSPECTED AND SAID TO BE OK. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING NOISE IN THE REAR END, SO WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED US THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT RUST TO THE FRAME AND THE BACK SUSPENSION MOUNT WAS COMPLETELY DETACHED, LEAVING THE TRUCK UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE INITAL NOISE WAS NOTICED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY.

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.

THE BLOWER MOTOR ON MY TRUCK FITS THE ISSUED RECALL. HOWEVER ITS ONLY ELIDGABLE FOR CERTAIN VINS AND MINE IS NOT COVERED. HOW CAN I GET COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. THE WINDOW IS JUNE 2016 TO 2017. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN MARCH OF 2016. THE BLOWER MOTOR HAS BEEN LOUD SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND DIED A MONTH AGO. I SAW THIS RECALL RELEASE AND DO NOT KNOW WHY MY TRUCK ISN'T COVERED. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE REPORTED TO TOYOTA THAT MY CRUISE CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND THAT IT GOES ON AND OFF AS IT PLEASES. TOYOTA HAS RESPONDED THAT THAT ISSUE IS NOT COVERED WITH THE CURRENT SPIRAL CABLE CLOCK SPRING RECALL. MY TRUCK VIN IS A FEW DIGITS AWAY FROM THE CURRENT LIST. I HAVE REPLACE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE SPIRAL CABLE CLOCK SPRING CONTROLS THE CRUISE CONTROL JUST LIKE DOES CONNECTION BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG AND/OR THE VEHICLE'S HORN AND OTHER DEVICES AND THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. MY CRUISE CONTROL HAS QUIT/STOPPED WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR 2016 TOYOTA TACOMA HAS REBUILT TITLE AND VOIDS THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. TOYOTA CORP HAS TSB 0077-16 SHIFT FEELING ENHANCEMENTS FOR THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO: DELAYED ENGAGEMENT PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE TO DRIVE. HARSH 1ST - 2ND UPSHIFT. DELAYED UPSHIFT WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL. I EXPERIENCE HARSH UP SHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT IN THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING. IT NEEDS SIMPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT THE TOYOTA COP DECLINED THIS UPDATE FOR MY VEHICLE (CASE# 1808271028 ON 08/28/2018) IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS IT MAY MAKE TRANSMISSION UNCONTROLLABLE ORE DELAYED AND VEHICLE MAY GET INTO THE ACCIDENT. WE HAVE ONE SCHOOLED BOY AND INFANT GIRL. I WANT TO INFORM ABOUT THE ISSUE SO THAT ALL VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND BRANDED TITLES ARE TO BE CORRECTED BY TOYOTA CORP AT NO EXPENSE TO THE OWNERS. I WILL ATTACH THE TSB TOYOTA DOCUMENT THAT EXPLAINS WHAT IS THE PROBLEM
