TRUCK NORMALLY STARTS RIGHT UP, CRANKED IT OVER NO START. TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED, BUT THE "CHECK ENGINE" AND THE "TRAC CONTROL" LIGHTS STAYED ON. TRIED GETTING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD VERY LITTLE POWER GETTING ON THE ON-RAMP. PUT THE FLASHERS ON TO PREVENT CARS EXITING THE FREEWAY @ 65 MPH FROM CRASHING INTO ME AND MY LIMPING TACOMA. THEY ALSO PUT THEIR FLASHERS ON TOO. VERY UNSAFE! LIMPED TOWARDS HOME ON SURFACE STREETS....1 HOUR DRIVE TOOK ME 2. SCANNED THE ERROR CODES AND P2440 AND P2442 CAME UP, SWITCHES STUCK OPEN IN THE #1 & #2 BANK. AFTER SPENDING $1470.54 FOR PARTS I MADE THE REPAIRS. LOOKED @ A CO-WORKERS 2008 TACOMA AND THIS BAD IDEA IS NOT ON HIS TACOMA.....HHHHHMMMM. HE,S JUST LUCKY I GUESS. PLEASE HELP.VERY UNSAFE DESIGN, VERY EXPENSIVE REMEDY

TAKATA RECALL OCT.2014 OUR TRUCK WOULDN'T PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE FRAME RUSTED OUT. THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF ON THE HIGHWAY, SO WE KNEW WE HAD A PROBLEM. WE CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE RECALL ENDED AND THAT WE HAD BEEN SENT A PAPER IN 2010( THE YEAR WE MOVED) THEY TOLD US THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SPARE TIRE BECAUSE WE HAD TO STILL HAVE THE TIRE. SO WE HAD TO FIND SOME TO WELD AND DO THE WORK OURSELVES TO GET IT INSPECTED.

I BOUGHT MY TOYOTA TRUCK IN MAY 2016. I HAD THE TRUCK SERVICED AT A LOCAL SHOP. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THE TRUCK HAD A LOT OF RUST NOTED ON THE FRAME AND OTHER PARTS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THE SPARE TIRE HANGAR RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT SERVICE THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE EXTENSIVE RUST NOTED. HE STATED "IF YOU WERE MY FAMILY MEMBER I WOULD NOT LET YOU DRIVE IT" BECAUSE THE FRAME AND OTHER PARTS WERE VERY RUSTY. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN PARKED EVER SINCE UNABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THE FRAME WILL COLLAPSE. TOYOTA CORPORATE WILL NOT AGREE TO FIX THE TRUCK.THEY STATE THE TRUCK FRAME RUST REPLACEMENT OFFER HAS LONG PASSED.

TOYOTA WANTS 2200 FOR AN ISSUE THEY ARE AWARE OF AND HAVE ALREADY RELEASED SERVICE BULLETINS FOR ON THE TUNDRA AND SEQUOIAS. ENGINE CODES P2442 AND P2446. WHEN THE CODES ARE THROWN THE CAR IS PUT INTO LIMP MODE AND DECELERATES TO 35 MPH, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A NON-ESSENTIAL EMISSIONS SYSTEM.

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT IN FRONT OF A BUILDING. I WAS GOING APPROX. 1-3 MPH DUE TO THE LOT BEING WET & HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WHEN I WAS ALMOST TO THE CONCRETE CURB, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT THE BUILDING. I STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE & SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING FULL THROTTLE, SO I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. BEFORE MOVING, I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE NOTHING WAS TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR, WHICH WAS THE CASE. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY BUT THAT WAS BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE AT WHICH I HIT THE BUILDING. I THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE AN BACKED OFF THE BUILDING. *TR

FRAME RUST. THERE WAS A INSPECTION PERIOD FOR RUSTED FRAMES ON THIS VEHICLE (AND OTHERS), I MISSED THE INSPECTION PERIOD AND AM FEARFUL THAT MY TRUCK IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. I THINK THIS INSPECTION TIME PERIOD AND WORK SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO PROTECT CURRENT OWNERS AND OTHERS ON THE ROADS. TOYOTA STATES IT IS OUT OF THEIR HANDS AND THEY CAN DO NOTHING FOR ME, REGARDLESS OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP EXPAND THIS INTO A RECALL OR EXPAND THE INSPECTION AND CORRECTION PERIOD. NOTE: ACTUAL DATE OF INSPECTION OR INSPECTION NOTICE IS UNKNOWN

THE FRAME IS RUSTED, IN SOME AREAS, CLEAR THROUGH. THE BRACKETS THAT HOLD SUSPENSION HAVE RUSTED THROUGH. EVERYTHING THAT TOUCHES THE FRAME HAS AN EXCESS AMOUNT OF RUST. THE TRUCK IS PARKED BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE GREAT BODILY HARM IF THE TRUCK FALLS APART WHILE DRIVING. *TR
