ENGINE
WENT ON VACATION TO TEXAS, STOPPED TO GAS UP AND WHEN I WENT BACK ON INTERSTATE I HAD A DRAMATIC LOSS OF POWER. COULD NOT KEEP UP ENOUGH SPEED TO GO SPEED LIMIT. AIR CONDITIONER DID NOT WORK. AT DESTINATION A LOCAL TOLD ME ABOUT A REPAIR SHOP. COST ME A HUNDRED DOLLARS TO RESET TO FACTORY SPECS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN FOUR OTHER TIMES. I DISCONNECTED BATTERY AND RESET MYSELF. NOW IT`S A DAILY THING.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
RECENTLY PURCHASED 97 TOYOTA TACOMA FROM PRIVATE OWNER WHO CLAIMS HE NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THE FRAME WARRANTY EXTENSION FROM TOYOTA AND SUBSEQUENTLY HE NEVER HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. NOW THE FRAME ON THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND I NOTIFIED TOYOTA WHO CLAIMS THE EXTENSION EXPIRED AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME, HOPEFULLY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE BY SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALLOWING UNSAFE VEHICLES TO STAY ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO PAY ANYMORE $ THEN THEY HAVE TO. MEANWHILE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FRAME ISSUE WAS CLEARLY THEIR FAULT. PLEASE HELP

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BUBBLING AGAIN AFTER RECALL AND REPLACEMENT. NOTICED IT YESTERDAY (8/15/18). THE TRUCK HAS 80,812 MILES AND THE RECALL NOTICE SAID WARRANTY ONLY GOOD UNTIL 5 YEARS OR 70,000 WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. SEEMS TO ME THEY PUT NEW BAD ONES IN WHEN THEY REPLACED THEM UNDER THE RECALL. NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THEY STARTED BUBBLING AGAIN.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I DO NOT SEE THE RECALL FOR THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY ON MY TACOMA. I READ THAT THIS VIN IS PART OF A RECALL FOR THE WIRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT CONTROLS MY PASSENGER AIRBAG, CRUISE CONTROL AND SOME OTHER FUNCTIONS. IT HAS MALFUNCTIONED. WHY IS IT NOT LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE? WHEN I CHECKED ON THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL, IT SHOWS THAT MY MODEL, ACCORDING TO THE VIN DOES QUALIFY FOR THIS. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING, AND MY CRUISE CONTROL IS NO LONGER WORKING AT SPEED.

WHEELS
BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW FROM DEALER IN AUSTIN,TX. CARRIED IN YESTERDAY FOR TIRE ROTATION AT AMERICAN TIRE AND WAS TOLD THE TRUCK HAD THE WRONG LUG NUTS ON THE WHEELS AND IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE FROM SHOP. I PURCHASED NEW WHEELS SO I COULD SAFELY DRIVE THE TRUCK. I CALLED TOYOTA AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THEM AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO CARRY IT TO A DEALER AND LET THEM SEE THE WHEELS ALSO. THE IN MODESTO CA AGREED THAT THE TRUCK HAD THE WRONG LUGS ON IT BUT SAID THE WHEELS WAS PROBABLY OK TO USE AS LONG AS THEY HAD THE PROPER LUG NUTS ON THEM. I CALLED TOYOTA BACK AND ASK THEM TO MAKE THE TRUCK RIGHT AND THAT I WAS QUOTED $341.49 FOR CORRECT PARTS AT MODESTO, CA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA TOLD ME THEIRS NOT ENOUGH HISTORY ON THE TRUCK OF DEALERS MAINTAINING IT AND WITH THE AGE OF THE TRUCK THEY WASN'T WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.MY FAMILY AND I HAVING BEEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK FOR YEARS AND COULD HAVE HAD A TIRE COME OFF WITH THE WRONG LUG NUTS. ALL I ASK FOR WAS TO MAKE THE TRUCK SAFE AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THE AFTER MARKET WHEELS WHICH WAS $150.00.
