SUSPENSION
ON LINE IT SAYS THERE IS A RECALL ON MY 2011 TACOMA FOR REAR LEAF SPRINGS BREAKING. MY LEAF SPRING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO WEIGHT IN MY BED. TOYOTA TELLS ME MY VIN DOESN'T COME UP ON THE LIST. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHY ISN'T MY TRUCK COVERED? I DON'T OVERLOAD MY TRUCK, IN FACT I BABY IT. I'VE ONLY HAD IT JUST OVER ONE YEAR. I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY WOULD BASICALLY SAY SORRY YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN! IT'S GOING TO COST $800-$1000 DOLLARS I CAN'T AFFORD BUT HAVE NO CHOICE! ARE THERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS?

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PRE-COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM IS FAULTY. THE SYSTEM ENGAGES WHEN NOTHING IS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO MERIT WARNINGS OR ENGAGING THE BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE TRUCK IS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE WALL OF A GARAGE. UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THIS FEATURE AND IT WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH MAY BE FATAL.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
2004 TOYOTA TACOMA, TOOK TRUCK IN TO BE PAINTED WAS INFORMED THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE BASEBALL SIZE HOLES IN THE FRAME AND THE LEAF SPRING MOUNTS ARE RUSTED AND LEAF SPRINGS ARE ABOUT TO POP OFF. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA CORP, AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE TRUCK WAS NOT SPRAYED THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE FRAME. I RECENTLY ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE AND WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED ON THIS TRUCK. TOYOTA AT THIS POINT IS REFUSING TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE FRAME EVEN THOUGH THIS TRUCK ORIGINATED AND REMAINED IN A COLD CLIMATE STATE FOR MOST OF ITS EXISTENCE. PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE ARE ANY OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO HAVE TOYOTA HONOR THIS VEHICLE. THANK YO U

ONCE STARTED WITH STARTER FLUID, TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVES NORMALLY, CONFIRMING NO ISSUES WITH FUEL SYSTEM.

I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME OF A RECALL FOR MY CAR MADE DUE TO THE ROTTING OF THE FRAME. I'VE HAD MY DAUGHTER CALL TOYOTA, WHO'S INFORMED HER THAT MAILS WERE SENT TO MY HOME ABOUT THE RECALL, WHICH I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED. I FEEL THE CONDITION OF THE FRAME IN MY CAR IS A VERY DANGEROUS HAZARD AND I AM NOT ABLE TO USE THIS VEHICLE AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON RECENTLY. I TOOK VEHICLE INTO AUTO SHOP, THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG SENSOR LOCATED UNDER THE BATTERY AND CLEARED CODES. THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED OFF FOR APPROX 30 DAYS. LIGHT KEPT COMING BACK ON EVERY FEW DAYS.I KEPT TAKING VEHICLE TO AUTO SHOP WHERE THY WOULD CLEAR THE CODES. THIS IS A WEEKLY ROUTINE. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT EVENTUALLY THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON PERMANENTLY. IS THIS TRUE? AND IS THERE A RECALL FOR AIRBAGS ON THIS VEHICLE? I'M AFRAID THE AIRBAGS MIGHT DEPLOY WHILE BEING DRIVEN

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 1998 TOYOTA TACOMA DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE FRAME SEPARATED IN HALF. LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE AND GET IT OFF OF THE ROAD WITHOUT HARM TO HIMSELF OR OTHERS. THE TRUCK WAS LATER TRAILERED TO A FRIENDS HOUSE WHERE A TEMPORARY BRACE WAS WELDED ON. WE LATER BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A DEALERSHIP WHO TOOK ONE LOOK AT THE FRAME AND SAID WE WERE NOT DRIVING THAT TRUCK HOME IT WAS EXTREMELY RUSTED BEYOND ITS YEARS. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE US A RENTAL CAR FOR THE EVENING UNTIL THEY HEARD BACK FROM TOYOTA WHO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE FRAME BECAUSE THE PROGRAM HAD EXPIRED. UNFORTUNATELY I AM ON ABLE TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE FOR MY SON. I DID MY DUE DILIGENCE WHEN I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND PULLED A CARFAX ON IT AND THERE WAS NO REPORT OF A RECALL, I DID NOT LOOK UNDERNEATH TO CHECK FOR FRAME DAMAGE AS THE TRUCK HAD A CLEAN TITLE AND THERE DID NOT SEEM TO BE A REASON.
