FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER A COMMUTE DRIVE I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE. AN HOUR LATER, WENT BACK IN THE GARAGE AND SMELLED A STRONG AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAK. AFTER VERIFICATION I FOUND THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES WERE LEAKING RIGHT ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. DROVE TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER AND HAD NEW LINES PUT IN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN DECEMBER OF 2019 MY TRUCK STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO REAR END THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME AS I LOST SIGNIFICANT BRAKE PRESSURE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE. ONE MONTH LATER, A RECALL IS ANNOUNCED. HERE WE ARE IN JUNE (HALF A YEAR LATER) AND I WORRY EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY TRUCK THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN WILL TOYOTA BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE FUEL PUMPS IN THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED?! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
II BOUGHT THE 1998 TACOMA AT THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JOHNSON CITY, TN. IN NOV 2019--I SUSPECT THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT IT . I AM 64 YEARS OLD AND TAKING THE TRUCK ON A VACATION FROM JOHNSON CITY TO EMERALD ISLE N.C. IN AUGUST 2020--VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING ON THIS TRIP--I ALSO THOUGHT I HAD A WONDERFUL TRUCK AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED HAVING TO DRIVE IT WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE-THIS HAPPENED WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ONE DAY IN NOV. 2019

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAS HAD A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP SINCE JANUARY. SO FAR TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD NOT TAKE 6 MONTHS FOR THEM TO FIND A FIX.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED MY 2003 TACOMA SECOND HAND BACK IN 2015 WHICH SERVES AS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE TO THIS DAY. AFTER RETURNING FROM A YEAR LONG DEPLOYMENT OVERSEAS, I HAD A FEW FRIENDS OVER ON 4JUN OF WHICH ONE WAS ADMIRING MY TRUCK UNTIL HE LOOKS UNDERNEATH AND NOTICES ALL THE FRAME RUST. HE ADVISES THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON IT AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY TOYOTA DEALER TO GET IT SERVICED. FEELING DISTRAUGHT, I GO ONLINE AND LOOKUP RECALLS FOR MY CAR WHICH LED ME TO THE "FRAME RUST" SAFETY ISSUE ON A MANY TOYOTA MODELS TO INCLUDE MY OWN. THE ADVISEMENT SUGGESTS SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE FRAME RUSTING THROUGH DUE TO FACTORY NEGLIGENCE IN SUFFICIENTLY COATING WITH ANTI-CORROSION MATERIALS. FURTHER RESEARCH IN OTHER FORUMS STATE OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS DESCRIBING IT AS FRAME RUST ALTOGETHER AND NOT JUST ON THE SPARE TIRE PLATE. ISSUES DESCRIBED INCLUDE THE ISSUE CAUSING THE LEAF SPRING TO SNAP AND THE FRAME ITSELF RUSTING THROUGH. INSPECTION OF MY TRUCK PROVES TRUE TO ALL ACCOUNTS DESCRIBED. I CONTACTED SERVCO TOYOTA IN HONOLULU, HI THE VERY NEXT DAY AND SPOKE TO A NICE LADY. I EXPLAINED HOW I BECAME THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE SINCE 2015 AND WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS RECALL. SHE CHECKED MY VIN TO CONFIRM THAT I WAS AFFECTED BY IT, HOWEVER THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED AS OF 2018 SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SHE GAVE ME THE 1-800 NUMBER TO TOYOTA WHICH LED ME NOWHERE AND KEPT DIVERTING ME BACK TO SERVCO TOYOTA INSTEAD OF THEIR MAIN OFFICE..... WHAT FRUSTRATES ME THE MOST IS THAT TOYOTA PROVIDED ME NO NOTICE OR WARNING ABOUT THIS RECALL. SO HOW CAN I REACT TO SOMETHING I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF. SAFETY RECALLS SHOULD NEVER HAVE EXPIRATION DATES AS IT REMAINS A SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL ITS PROPERLY REMEDIED. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING, IT STARTED TO RAIN. NATURALLY I FLIPPED THE WIPERS ON. THE WIPERS STALLED AND STARTED THEN QUIT, MID-WIPE. WIPER MOTOR QUIT. IT ACTED FROZEN, IT SQUEAKED AND STALLED HALF-WAY THROUGH A WIPE ACTION. HAD TO PULL OFF BECAUSE VISIBILITY WAS POOR. GOT OUT, TRIED TO HELP THE WIPER ARM MOVE. THE MOTOR SQUEAKED. THE WIPERS WOULD NOT OPERATE AND WOULD NOT MOVE FROM ITS MID-WINDSHIELD LOCATION. WAITED UNTIL THE RAIN PASSED TO BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. BECAUSE IT RAINS SO OFTEN HERE, THE WIPERS ARE REQUIRED EQUIPMENT, FOR SAFETY AND VISIBILITY. AN INOPERABLE WIPER SYSTEM RENDERS THE TRUCK INOPERABLE, IN OTHER WORDS USELESS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PURCHASED 2019 TOYOTA TRUCK / TACOMA 4WD/DBL CB 4W AND WAS ADVISED OF A RECALL ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP. NOW WE DON'T DRIVE IT DUE TO FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT. CAN'T GO OFF ROAD DUE TO FEAR FUEL PUMP FAILURE WHERE WE WOULD BE STRANDED OUT IN DESERT. THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED BASICALLY SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND TOYOTA HAS NO REMEDY AND IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS NOW WAITING FOR THE RECALL ISSUE TO BE REPAIRED. RECALL IS LISTED BELOW: MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20TB02 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V012 RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE SUMMARYTHE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE ENGINE MAY RUN ROUGH. THIS MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL, AND THE VEHICLE MAY BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. SAFETY RISK. IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. *TR

POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
INITIAL NOTICE OF RECALL IN NOVEMBER 2019, BY PRESS. FAULTY FUEL PUMP CAN LEAD TO VEHICLE STALL AT HIGH SPEED. RESULANT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE INQUIRED NUMEROUS TIMES AT THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN PERSON, BY PHONE, AND EMAIL. NEVER GET THE SAME OR A RESPONSE THAT IS DEFINITIVE...I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS MATTER, I HAVE DECIDED TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE..IT HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS ALREADY AND NOTED SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING, BODY, BRAKES AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL. TO BE BLUNT THIS VEHICLE IS SUBSTANDARD, OVER-PRICED BY TOYOTA AND HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND SALES ARE SHODDY AND DECEPTIVE AT BEST. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN RECALL SINCE JAN 13,2020 FOR A FAULTY FUEL PUMP THAT MAY CUT OFF, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH-SPEEDS. THERE IS NO FIX OR RESOLUTION. THIS MAKES DRIVING THE VEHICLE VERY STRESSFUL AND CAUSES EXTREME STRESS IN DRIVING, BOTH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CITY SPEEDS. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND IS PUTTING DRIVERS AT RISK.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY 2004 TOYOTA TACOMA HAS FRAME DAMAGE UNDERNEATH (PICTURE ENCLOSED) I LEARNED OF A 15 YEAR MANUFACTURER EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I PUT IN A COMPLAINT TO TOYOTA (I LOST CLAIM NUMBER) AND WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED IN MAY OF 2019 AND WAS OUT OF LUCK, HE ALSO SAID THAT 15 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION WERE MAILED OUT IN THE PAST BUT ,TROUBLE IS MY WIFE AND I DO NOT RECALL SEEING THIS INFORMATION DO TO THIS I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY FRAME FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND I CANNOT AFFORD OUT OF POCKET FEE TO FIX MYSELF. WHAT ISSUE I DO HAVE IS I HAD MY VEHICLE AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BEING WORKED ON FOR A "SAFETY RECALL " JULY OF 2018 AND I WAS WONDERING AT LEAST AS A CUSTOMER COURTESY WHY I WASN'T MADE AWARE OF THIS FRAME RECALL WHILE UNDER REPAIR FOR THE SAFETY RECALL, I WOULD HAVE GOT THE WORK DONE HAD I KNOWN AND AS STATED EARLIER KNOWN BY RECEIVING INFORMATION IN THE MAIL ABOUT THIS. THE TOYOTA REP SAID SINCE IT EXPIRED I WAS OUT OF LUCK AND THAT IS WHY I'M REACHING OUT TO YOU ABOUT THIS MATTER. *TR
