NOTICED A WEIRD ROTATIONAL NOISE FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. TOOK IT INTO PRESTIGE TOYOTA DEALER FOR IT'S FIRST OIL CHANGE AND ASKED IF THEY COULD CHECK OUT THE NOISE. DIAGNOSED AS THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL EVEN THOUGH IT WASNT LEAKING. TWO WEEKS LATER THEY ARE TELLING ME IT'S GOING TO TAKE A MONTH OR MORE TO GET THE PART. I AM IN A LOANER CAR AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET A SOLID ANSWER ON WHATS GOING ON WITH THESE REAR DIFFS. I DON'T EVEN WANT THE TRUCK AT THIS POINT SINCE THEY CAN'T EVEN FIX IT.

DRIVING AT HIGH WAY SPEED; THE ABS LIGHT, PARKING BRAKE LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHT, LOST POWER TO WINDOWS, A/C, RADIO, POWER STEERING, ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE FOR DRIVERS NOT PAYING ATTENTION. TOYOTA DEALER SAID THE ROOT CAUSE WAS A BAD CELL IN BATTERY THAT CAUSED THE IGN#2 FUSE TO BE BLOWN. THESE BATTERIES HAVE KNOWN ISSUES TO BE BAD FROM THE FACTORY. REPORTED EARLIER ABOUT 30000 MILES THE FACTORY BATTERY WOULD NOT START VEHICLE AND DEALER SAID THEY REPLACED BECAUSE OF A BAD CELL. I OWN A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA ALSO , SAME MODEL AND MAKE AS BEING REPORTED AND THAT BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES FOR SAME REASON.

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING LEAKAGE FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, NHTSA RECALL NO. 17V-285. TOOK TO PETERSON TOYOTA, BOISE, ID, ON 6/28/2017, AND WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD TURN THE VEHICLE IN.

I CALLED THE TOYOTA CORP CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER ON THAT DAY (1-888-270-9371), AND WAS TOLD A DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WOULD CONTACT ME NLT 6/30. NO ONE CALLED, AND I CALLED TOYOTA AGAIN ON 7/1, AND WAS TOLD THAT BOTH A PETERSON AND A REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE REP WOULD CONTACT ME NLT 7/3. NO ONE CALLED. I AGAIN CALLED TOYOTA ON 7/6, AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE NLT 7/7. AGAIN, NO ONE CALLED. PETERSON TOYOTA OF BOISE AND TOYOTA CORP ARE REFUSING TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS CONCERNING THIS SAFETY RECALL. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AT THE 888 NUMBER HAS APOLOGIZED NUMEROUS TIMES AND SAYS SHE CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY A PETERSON AND A REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER. *TR

I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED FROM TOYOTA VIA MAIL OF A RECALL ON MY TRUCK AROUND NOV 2016. I'VE SPENT FROM THEM UNTIL NOW TRYING TO GET CAIN TOYOTA OF NORTH CANTON OHIO TO DO THE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PARTS. I ALSO EXPLAINED TO THEM THERE IS AN "ADD A LEAF" ON MY TRUCK. THE TRUCK IS LIFTED 3". I SAID I'M NOT PAYING FOR ANYTHING HERE THIS IS A FULL RECALL UNDER TOYOTA. WE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR JULY 7TH AT 7:30AM. I GET THERE AND THEY REFUSE TO DO THE WORK WITHOUT ME PAYING DUE TO THE "ADD A LEAF". THEY HAVE WASTED 9 MONTHS WITH THIS AS MYSELF, MY WIFE AND 3 YOUNG CHILDREN RIDE IN THIS TRUCK EVERYDAY! I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH HOW CAIN TOYOTA HAS HANDLED THIS ISSUE. WE ARE NOW AT RISK DUE TO CAINS REFUSAL TO REPAIR THIS AT TOYOTA'S RECALL EXPENSES. I WILL ALSO BE CALLING TOYOTA CORPORATE TO PLACE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AS WELL.

FRAME RUST RECALL. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I TALKED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE CORPORATE OFFICE IN CALIFORNIA AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE TO MY ADDRESS. THE UPPER LEVEL MANAGEMENT DENIED MY RIGHT TO HAVE THE TRUCK FIXED. I HAVE SPENT 1400.00 DOLLARS TO FIX AND KEEP THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD SAFELY. THE RECALL ENDED EARLY WITHOUT NOTICE. I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM MY DEALERSHIP OF THE REPAIR. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION WHEN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS BEING PERFORMED. THAT STARTED MY INQUIRY WITH TOYOTA.
