STEERING
STEERING FELT LIKE IT LOCKED UP WHEN I WAS TURNING ONTO A BUSY ROAD. VERY STIFF AND HARD TO TURN. DRIVING HOME IT CONTINUED TO BE INTERMITTENTLY HARD, THEN EASY, THEN HARD AGAIN, ALL DURING A SINGLE TURN! CAUSED ME TO HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY TURNING. RESEARCH PROVES THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT AND I WONDER WHY TOYOTA HAS NOT ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY AND ISSUED A RECALL.

SUSPENSION
RECALL FOR REAR LEAF SPRING - NHTSA RECALL 14V-604. "REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM CONTAINS LEAF SPRINGS THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED OF EITHER THREE OR FOUR LEAVES. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A LEAF COULD FRACTURE DUE TO STRESS AND CORROSION. IF THIS OCCURS AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE OPERATED, THE BROKEN LEAF COULD MOVE OUT OF POSITION AND CONTACT SURROUNDING COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE FUEL TANK. IF THE BROKEN LEAF CONTACTS THE FUEL TANK REPEATEDLY, IT COULD PUNCTURE THE TANK AND CAUSE A FUEL LEAK. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE." WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED ON OUR VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. TOYOTA HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY US NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THEY WILL CONTACT THE TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS TO GET THIS RESOLVED. OUR VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED TO GAMBIA, WEST AFRICA IN 2014, BEFORE RECEIVING THIS RECALL, FOR OUR PERSONAL USE THERE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN THE GAMBIA, CFAO, TOLD US THAT IF TOYOTA WOULD SHIP THE PART TO THEM, THEY WOULD INSTALL IT IN OUR VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS AND THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THEY WILL FORWARD THE REQUEST TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS (IN JAPAN?), BUT WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE TO THESE REQUESTS AND, THEREFORE, THE STATUS OF OUR VEHICLE IS STILL RECALL INCOMPLETE. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL LETTERS RECEIVED, IT SAYS THAT ANY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER WILL INSPECT, AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE LEAF SPRINGS AT NO CHARGE TO US. WE WANT THIS PART TO BE SHIPPED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN THE GAMBIA, WEST AFRICA: CFAO TOYOTA, MAMADI MANIYANG HWY, KANIFING, GAMBIA. THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS: 220-439-6906 AND FAX NUMBER IS: 220-439-6687.

STEERING
STEERING BECAME PROGRESSIVELY HARDER TO TURN OVER A PERIOD OF MANY WEEKS. IT WAS OK WITH HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND STRAIGHTAWAYS WITH LITTLE STEERING CORRECTION. IT WAS VERY HARD WHEN ALL TYPES OF NORMAL TURNS WERE EXECUTED AT ANY SPEED AND AFTER WARM UP. IT TURNED OUT TOYOTA, BY COMMENT OF THE REPAIRING MECHANIC, WHO HAD DONE MANY, HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH CORROSION OF THE STEERING COLUMN LINKAGE. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFO REGARDING THIS. I THOUGHT IT WAS POWER STEERING AND THAT I COULD MUSCLE THROUGH IT FOR A WHILE. IT BECAME WORSE FAST. BASED ON A FALSE ASSUMPTION WHICH MANY MIGHT MAKE, THIS COULD HAVE EASILY LOCKED UP AND CAUSED A CRASH. I HAVE BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS IN THE MANY VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD AT EAST PUT OUT CAUTIONARY INFO TO OWNERS

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE VEHICLES STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGES WHEN TAKING SHARP CORNERS, LIKE CURVY HIGHWAYS. WHEN THE STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGES IT LOCKS THE TIRES UP TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE VEHICLE FORCING THE VEHICLE INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE OR OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO FIGHT THE VEHICLE JUST TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT HAS SCARED SOME OF MY PASSENGERS TO THE POINT THAT THEY WON'T RIDE IN MY VEHICLE ANYMORE. I HAVE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER SIMILAR TOYOTA'S IN MY AREA. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.
