STEERING
I NOTICED THE TRUCK WAS NOT HANDLING RIGHT (STEERING). IT GOT TO THE POINT THE STEERING WAS LOCKING UP AND I HAD TO MANUALLY RETURN THE WHEEL IN ORDER TO STEER THE TRUCK. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I WENT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THIS IS COMMON . TOYOTA ISSUED A S.B. FOR A STEERING RATTLE UNDER A 3 YR PROGRAM. THIS IS NOT A RATTLE ITS MUCH WORSE AND AS STATED ITS DANGEROUS. I INSPECTED THE STEERING KNUCKLE AND IT WAS SEIZING UP. THE COST TO REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $750 DOLLARS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ALLOWING UNSAFE VEHICLES TO KNOWINGLY OPERATE WITH THIS DESIGN FLAW. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

ENGINE
ON THE WAY HOME FROM A RECENT CAMPING TRIP MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRAC LIGHT CAME ON IN MY TRUCK. THE TRUCK WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP A HILL ABOVE 20 MILES PER HOUR. WE DROVE TO THE NEAREST AUTO ZONE, THEY PULLED THE CODES P2436 AND P2442. I WAS ABLE TO CLEAR THE CODES AND MAKE IT HOME. I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS AND FOUND THE SECONDARY AIR SWITCHING VALVES TO BE A COMMON FAILURE ON TACOMAS AND TUNDRAS. I FEEL THIS PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND UPGRADED, THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR WHILE CROSSING ACROSS HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE REPLACEMENT PART 25710-31022 WAS ORDERED FROM THE DEALERSHIP TODAY. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE.

THE FRAME IS RUSTING AND HAS PERFORATIONS WHICH COULD LEAD TO FRAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT IN IMMACULATE CONDITION OVER ITS LIFE. THE LEVEL OF CORROSION ON THIS VEHICLE DID NOT HAPPEN IN TWO YEARS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO NOTIFY THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE CORRODING FASTER (BECAUSE THEY FOUGHT THE SAME ISSUE IN COURT AND WON). THEY NEED TO POINT THAT THEY ARE NOT LEGAL TO DRIVE DESPITE THE INSPECTIONS APPROVED.

AIR BAGS
I WAS BELTED IN AND HIT A STREET SIGN THEN A 6 FOOT TALL STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN JUST ABOUT SAND HILL AND THEN A TREE. IMPACT WAS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO BRAKE MY BACK FOR SUDDEN STOP. THE ACCIDENT WAS MAY 5, 2016 AND IT WAS A DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT BUT THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY AIRBAG INSTEAD OF SNAPPING MY BACK.. I HAVE HAD SERIOUS MEMORY LOSS DUE TO PRIOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS. I LOVE TOYOTA BUT I BELIEVE SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG THAT NIGHT AS IMPACT SHOULD HAVE SET OFF DRIVER AIRBAG. MY PASSENGERS DIDN'T BUCKLE UP BUT I DID AND I WAS HURT THE WORSE.. OH AND YES I AM EXPECTING TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE IN YOUR COMPANY OR LAW FIRM TO KNOW IF I NEED A LAWYER OR NOT. THANK YOU ..

TOOK MY TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP FOR LEAF SPRING RECALL. THEY CHECKED VIN ,AND GAVE ME A COURTESY CAR WHILE THEY DO THE WOR. THEY CALLED ME LATER IN DAY AND SAID THEY WONT DO IT DUE TO MY TRUCK BEING MODIFIED (LIFTED). NOW YES MY TRUCK IS LIFTED, HOWEVER THERE IS NO MODIFICATION TO THE SPRINGS. THERE IS BLOCKS IN THE REAR THAT SIMPLY LET THE SPRINGS MOUNT ON THE TOP OF THE BLOCK INSTEAD OF THE TOP OF THE AXLE AND DOES NOT AFFECT OR CHANGE ANY DYNAMICS OR FUNCTION TO THE SPRINGS. I DONT FEEL THIS IS RIGHT,WITH THIS BEING A LIFE SAFTEY ISSUE. MY TRUCK IS PART OF THE RECALL AND MY SPRINGS ARE WEEK AND A SAFTEY HAZZARD.

AFTER PURCHASING THIS TRUCK USED IN SEPT 2014, MY MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING WAS MISSING HALF OF ONE OF THE LEAVES. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL PROGRAM, EVEN THOUGH THE INTERNET REVEALED NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. SINCE TOYOTA OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WHAT SO EVER, I PURCHASED AN AFTER MARKET SPRING REPLACEMENT KIT, AND UPGRADED THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION. IN 2016, TOYOTA NOTIFIED ME OF A NHTSA RECALL 14V-604, DEALING WITH BROKEN LEAF SPRINGS, MY EXACT PROBLEM. SINCE I HAD ALREADY REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AT MY OWN COST, I SUBMITTED THE INVOICES FOR THE SUSPENSION KIT, AND MY MECHANIC'S INVOICE. THEY HAVE CONTINUALLY REQUESTED ADDITIONAL AND UNNECESSARY PAPER WORK, INCLUDING A SEPARATE DETAILED LETTER FROM MY MECHANIC. ONE IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS, AND TWO HE IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS WHEN THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED, BUT OF COURSE TOYOTA WAS DENYING RESPONSIBILITY AT THAT TIME. THIS IS MERELY AN EFFORT TO DELAY AND AVOID PAYMENT UNDER THE RECALL PLAN. I AM NOT TRYING TO GET TOYOTA TO PAY FOR OTHER UNRELATED PARTS AND REPAIRS, ONLY THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS AND LABOR TO REPLACE. EVERY TIME I CALL TOYOTA, THEY SAY THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT, AND THEN A MONTH LATER I GET THE SAME ROBO LETTER REQUESTING THE SAME UNREASONABLE INFO THAT I CAN'T PROVIDE OVER 2 YEARS LATER. I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB, BUT TOYOTA HAS AN "F" RATING, SO OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE NO CONCERN FOR CUSTOMER SAFETY OR SATISFACTION.
