VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WIPER SPEED, WHILE ON HIGH IS NOT FAST ENOUGH FOR A MODERATE RAINFALL. I WAS CAUGHT IN A SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE DOWNPOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO REDUCE MY SPEED BY ALMOST 40MPH TO GET A LITTLE VISIBILITY BACK. ALL OTHER VEHICLES NEAR ME FLEW RIGHT PAST WITH THEIR WIPERS ON HIGH WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. THEY NEED TO SPEED UP THE WIPER MOTOR.

HELLO, THE FRAME ON MY 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS BEGUN TO RUST. TOYOTA SENT OUT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THAT I NEVER RECEIVED. WHEN I TOOK THIS TO TOYOTA THEY STATED THAT MY RECALL HAD EXPIRED ONE MONTH PRIOR IN AUGUST 2015. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THE FRAMES ON THE TRUCKS RUSTING. THE TOYOTA TACOMAS FIRST NOW THE TUNDRAS. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE FRAME.

THE L/F LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN, CAUSING A GREAT DEAL OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS WHICH NEED TO BE REPAIRED AND REPLACED: L/F LOWER BALL JOINT; L/F KNUCKLE POPPED OUT FROM UPPER BALL JOINT; RACK PINION ASSEMBLY BIND AND TWISTED WHEN LEFT FRONT COLLAPSED; L/F AXLE SHAFT POPPED OUT AND GREASE OUT; L/F CALIPER HOSE BROKEN; ALIGNMENT NEEDED AS PART OF REPAIR. DUE TO FAILURE OF L/F BALL JOINT, SERVICE TECH RECOMMENDS REPLACING R/F LOWER BALL JOINT TO AVOID ANOTHER CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND DANGER OF INJURY DUE TO AUTO CRASH. FORTUNATELY, THE BALL JOINT AND ALL OTHER DAMAGE DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL DRIVER HAD EXITED INTERSTATE AND WAS JUST PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, OTHERWISE, A SERIOUS CRASH COULD HAVE ENSUED WITH INJURY TO DRIVER. THERE WAS NO WARNING WITH THIS BALL JOINT FAILURE, TRUCK HANDLED NORMALLY UNTIL ABRUPT FAILURE IN PARKING LOT. EXPENSE TO REPAIR NEARLY $5000.

ENGINE
I PULLED INTO MY FURNITURE STORE AND HAD THE TRUCK IN DRIVE BUT STATIONARY AND WAS GETTING READY TO PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE TO PARK INTO MY SPOT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK ACCELERATED LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AND I ENDED UP CRASHING INTO THE STORE'S ENTRANCE CAUSING A LOT OF DAMAGE TO BOTH THE VEHICLE AND THE STORE'S BUILDING. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE BECAUSE I ALMOST RAN OVER MY DAUGHTER. I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I DID NOT PRESS THE GAS PEDAL BY MISTAKE. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SITUATION. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE.

ADDENDUM TO REFERENCE NUMBER 10785255 ON 1/7/16, CHRIS ADAMOS [OPERATIONS MANAGER] CALLED FROM TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS DUE TO MY ONGOING CONCERNS OFT RUST PERFORATION COMPROMISING MY FRAME, MAKING IT UNSAFE. I EXPLAINED THAT I AM CONCERNED THAT 1) THE CRC INTERVENTION [PROPOSED BY TOYOTA] DID NOT REMEDY A PROBLEM [THAT HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED BY TOYOTA], 2) THUS THE PROBLEM REMAINS UNRESOLVED, AND 3) SAFETY ISSUES CONTINUE TO EXIST AND THAT THE FRAME IS ACTUALLY WORSE THAN IT HAD BEEN WHEN INSPECTED IN 2012. CHRIS STATED, 'THE CRC WAS NOT MEANT TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, IT WAS MEANT TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM.' HE EXPLAINED THAT, WHEN THE 2012 RECALL INSPECTIONS OCCURRED, 'IF A FRAME WAS PERFORATED, IT WAS REPLACED. IF THERE WAS NO PERFORATION, THE CRC WOULD BE APPLIED AND THAT MAY HELP FOR 6 MONTHS, A YEAR, OR 3 YEARS IN YOUR CASE, BUT IT WAS APPLIED WITH THE THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD EVENTUALLY FAIL.' I EXPLAINED THAT WAS NOT MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE CRC'S ROLE WHEN THE DEALER DISCUSSED THE PLAN IN 2012. I HAD BEEN MADE TO BELIEVE THAT THE CRC WAS TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER CORROSION WHICH WOULD COMPROMISE THE FRAME'S INTEGRITY. I EXPLAINED THAT HAD I KNOWN THE CRC WAS ONLY 'BAND-AIDING' THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE SOLD THE TRUCK IN 2012. NOW, THE VEHICLE CANNOT PASS AN INSPECTION WHICH IS NEEDED TO BE SOLD, NOR WOULD I WANT TO SELL THE VEHICLE TO OTHERS BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. CHRIS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT OWNERS WHO RECEIVED FRAME REPLACEMENTS HAD THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. HE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED TOYOTA WAS AWARE THAT THE CRC INTERVENTION WOULD BE INEFFECTIVE FOR THE FRAMES THAT PASSED THE INITIAL 2012 INSPECTION. THEY KNEW THOSE FRAMES WOULD FAIL, THUS THOSE OWNERS SAFETY ISSUES WERE NOT RESOLVED, BUT SIMPLY POSTPONED UNTIL THE CAMPAIGN EXPIRED, LEAVING THESE CUSTOMERS WITH NO ALTERNATIVES.

HELLO, CAN YOU PROVIDE SOME DIRECTION REGARDING FRAME RUST ON MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA, ( VIN# [XXX]) ? I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (FRIEDRICK'S LOCATED IN LEBANON , PA). THIS DEALER HAS SINCE CHANGED OWNERSHIP AND THUS THEIR STORE NAME. THE NEW DEALER REFUSED TO HELP ME WITH MY RECALL. I CANNOT GET MY TRUCK INSPECTED DUE TO EXTREME FRAME RUST. MY INSPECTION MECHANIC FOUND THIS RUST DAMAGE AND CANNOT BY PENNSYLVANIA REGULATIONS, PASS THIS TRUCK FOR INSPECTION. HE ALERTED ME TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS A RECALL FROM TOYOTA, TO REPAIR SUCH RUST DAMAGED FRAMES. HOWEVER IN SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER (FORMALLY FREDERICK'S OF LEBANON, PA), THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME IN THIS MATTER. MY TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 150,000 MILES ON IT, IN GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE RUST. IF POSSIBLE, PLEASE PROVIDE INFO WHERE TO HAVE THIS RECALL WORK COMPLETED. REGARDS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE HAVE A SERIOUS RUST ISSUE WITH OUR 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA. TOYOTA REPLACED A FRAME BUT REATTACHED ALL THE ALREADY RUSTED PIECES BACK ONTO THE NEW FRAME. THE BREAK LINE HAS RUSTED THROUGH ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH A RED LIGHT & STOP SIGN. NO WAS HURT, WE WERE LUCKY BUT THIS TRUCK IS A DEATH TRAP. WE HAVE HIT THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE TRYING TO GET IT OUT OF GEAR BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SO RUSTED. WE HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA & HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A MAINTENANCE ISSUE NOT A DEFECT. THIS TRUCK 100% A DEFECT! IT IS A PILE OF METAL SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PUT MY FAMILY IN IT. IT US IRRESPONSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLES, SO IN OUR & THE PUBLICS BEST INTEREST IT SITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY.

TAKATA RECALL MY TOYOTA TUNDRA IS A 2006 LIMITED FULLY LOADED BEAUTIFUL TRUCK.... UNTIL YOU LOOK UNDER NEATH IT! THE FRAME HAS RUST HOLES, THE STRUTS RUSTED OFF THE FRAME, THE BREAK LINES ARE RUSTED OUT, MY BREAK DRUMS ARE RUSTED OUT, LEAF SPRING ARE RUSTED OUT, THE EXHAUST SYSTEM RUSTED OFF AND THE BEST PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS THAT THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA FOR THE RECALL AND SPRAYED INSTEAD OF REPLACED! THE DEALER TOOK SPONGES AND PUT THEM INTO THE FRAME AND PAINTED OVER THE FRAME!! A TOYOTA DEALER!!!! AND NOW THAT THE FRAME IS FALLING APART TOYOTA IS SAYING IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM THE RECALL IS OVER. EVEN THOUGHT THE FRAME WASN'T REPLACED WHEN IT WAS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED! MY HOUSEHOLD OWNS 7 TOYOTA A AND LEXUS VEHICLES, YOU CAN BET YOUR MONEY WE WILL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA OR LEXUS AGAIN. THANKS TOYOTA FOR NEGLECTING YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES! *JS

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS CONTACTED BY TOYOTA CONCERNING THE AIR BAG RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR. MY FIRST LETTER ARRIVED ON 7/18/2015. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA SEVERAL TIME TO FIND OUT WHEN THE AIRBAG CAN BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE AND NO IDEA WHEN MY CAR CAN BE REPAIRED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I USE MY TRUCK FOR BUSINESS AND IS CURRENTLY LOSING MONEY BECAUSE I CAN NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I INFORMED TOYOTA OF THIS ISSUE AND WAS NOT GIVEN PRIORITY OR ANY CONSIDERATION FOR MY INCONVENIENCE. THIS HAS NOT ONLY COST ME IN TIME AND MONEY, BUT I FEEL THE SERVICE I RECEIVED IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS WELL. I WISH I COULD SALE THE TRUCK BUT NOBODY WAS A TRUCK WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I AM ONE UNHAPPY CUSTOMER DUE TO THIS AIRBAG RECALL. I CAN NO LONGER SAY OR SUPPORT TOYOTA AS A GOOD AUTO MAKER. AT THE END OF THE DAY, ONCE THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED I WILL SALE THE TRUCK AND WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE A TOYOTA PRODUCT. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE VEHICLE FRAME IS SHOWING MAJOR SIGNS OF RUST. THIS APPARENTLY IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING THIS MATTER I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ISSUED A TEMPORARY SERVICE FOR THIS BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE SINCE WHENEVER CONPONENTS NEED REPLACING THE BOLTS MUST BE CUT OFF DUE TO RUSTING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL SINCE CERTAIN AREAS ARE THINNING ON THE FRAME.
