I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO KEEP THE TRUCK FOR A RECALL. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR BUT IT HAS NOW BEEN THREE WEEKS. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN THERE WILL BE A FIX FOR THIS RECALL. SINCE LEAVING IT A SECOND RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS ONE AS WELL. 3 WEEKS IS EXCESSIVE BY ANYONE'S DEFINITION. DEALER WON'T RETURN PHONE CALLS. TOYOTA CORPORATE TOLD ME IT WAS THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO, LAWYER-UP?

2001 TOYOTA TACOMA 4X4 BOUGHT NEW AND HAS 186,000 MILES AND THE FRAME IS ALMOST BROKE COMPLETELY INTO. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. TOYOTA CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT ABOUT SENDING ME ONE BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ONE. SO I MUST SAY THAT WE HAVE PURCHASED APPROXIMATELY 4 OR 5 NEW ONES AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. WE HAVE OWNED PROBABLY 9 OR 10 USED ONES. I'M TRYING TO GET SOME HELP ON GETTING THIS RESOLVED. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE TOYOTA PROMISES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR WORD, SO WHY CAN I NOT GET ANY HELP. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT BREAKS COMPLETELY INTO AND CAUSES ME TO GET HURT OR MAYBE KILLED OR HURT SOMEONE OR CAUSING DEATH TO SOMEONE. THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO THINK ABOUT THAT. I CAN'T WORK ANYMORE AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED, AND I AM GOING TO LET EVERYONE KNOW EXACTLY HOW GOOD TOYOTAS HAVE BECOME. WOULD YOU WANT TO BUY THIS VEHICLE, NO ABSOLUTELY NOT. BY LOOKING AT THIS TRUCK YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT ANYTHING TO BE WRONG WITH IT. I AM TRULY EXPECTING SOME HELP WITH THIS MATTER. THANK YOU

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TOYOTA HAS IMPOUNDED MY CAR INDEFINITELY FOR THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL RECALL. I'M LEFT DRIVING A LOANER. THEY SAID PREPARE TO NOT HAVE MY CAR FOR MAYBE MONTHS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY VEHICLE IS LOCATED AT TOYOTA OF ESCONDIDO IN CALIFORNIA. I HOLD THE TITLE YET I CAN'T HAVE MY CAR? PRETTY SURE THAT'S ILLEGAL.

THERE ARE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, BUT ONLY ABLE TO LIMP. THERE ARE MANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT TOYOTA HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.

JUST GOT MY TRUCK BACK FROM THE MECHANIC TODAY, 6/7/2017, FOR THE ANNUAL STATE INSPECTION AND HE INDICATED THE FRAME IS NOT LOOKING GOOD AND SAFETY WILL BE A CONCERN SOON. THE TRUCK WAS UNDERCOATED ON THE RECALL, APPLIED DIRECTLY OVER THE EXISTING RUSTED FRAME BACK THEN. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALER WHO DID THE UNDERCOATING AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME TOYOTA HAS NO FURTHER OBLIGATIONS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERCOATED. THIS WAS NOT AN AMPLE RESOLUTION TO AN ONGOING DEFECT.I WAS ALSO TOLD AT THE TIME, I HAD NO CHOICE OR SAY IN THE MATTER. I'M HAVING CONCERNS NOW FOR MY SAFETY AND TOYOTA SHOULD RESOLVE THIS RESPONSIBLY. I'M THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE VEHICLE, IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH ABOUT 101,000 CURRENT MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

TOYOTA FRAME RECALL - I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH HOLES AND CRACKS VISIBLE IN THE FRAME. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE DAMAGE INTERNALLY TO THE FRAME. HUGE CHUNKS OF FRAME RUST COME FROM THE INSIDE OF THE FRAME WHEN PRESSURE WASHED. THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED AND RESIDED IN THE NORTHEAST FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE VEHICLE'S LIFE. THE TRUCK WAS OBVIOUSLY EXPOSED TO ROAD SALTS AND AS A RESULT THE FRAME HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. THE TOYOTA DEALER MUST BE AWARE OF THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE AS THE TRUCK WAS SERVICED REGULARLY AT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THIRD PARTY SERVICE CENTERS THROUGHOUT THE NORTHEAST. IN 2014 TOYOTA TRIED TO COVERED UP THE PROBLEM WITH A "RUST INHIBITOR" WHICH ONLY HIDE THE TRUE DAMAGE ON THE FRAME. I RECENTLY TOOK MY TRUCK TO AUTONATION TOYOTA AT 2555 COLONIAL BLVD, FORT MYERS, FL 33907 PHONE:(239) 321-5413 FOR A DIFFERENT RECALL, THE REAR SPRINGS. I REQUESTED THE FRAME BE REPLACED UNDER THE RECENT TOYOTA FRAME RECALL SETTLEMENT AND WAS SIMPLY IGNORED. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING MY TRUCK AS A NECESSITY KNOWING THERE MAY BE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AT ANY TIME. TOYOTA HAS AGREED IN COURT TO EITHER REPLACE OR BUY OUT THE VEHICLES AFFECTED. MY TRUCK IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD BUT I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE AFFECTED AREAS OF THE FRAME AS EVIDENCE OF THE DAMAGE. PLEASE HELP!

BROUGHT MY 2016 TOYOTA TACOMA IN FOR 20,000 MILE SERVICE TO RIGHT TOYOTA ON MAY 5TH 2017. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER MY TRUCK REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS LEAKING AND WAS UNDER RECALL. THEY WOULD HAVE TO HOLD MY VEHICLE. THEY WERE NOT SURE WHEN TOYOTA WOULD COME UP WITH A REPAIR. I CALLED RIGHT TOYOTA ON MAY 30TH TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS ANY CLOSER TO BEING REPAIRED. WAS TOLD TOYOTA STILL DOES NOT HAVE A PROCEDURE FOR REPAIR YET. NOR DID THEY KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAD A HESITATION WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. SO I STILL DON'T HAVE MY TRUCK BACK THAT I USE FOR MY BUSINESS. THEY SAY IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NO TIME FRAME OF HOW LONG FOR REPAIR. HAS BEEN A MONTH NOW.
