SUSPENSION
DRIVING ON ANY ROAD THE REAR SUSPENSION CREEKS BAD. WHETHER YOUR ARE COMING TO A STOP OR ACCELERATING, TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION, OR TRAVELING DOWN A PAVED HIGHWAY WITH EXPANSION JOINTS. YOU HEAR A LARGE CREEK OF METAL COMING FROM THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS A DAILY DRIVER ON HIGHWAYS AND TOWN ROADS. THE TRUCK IS CARRYING NO LOAD IN THE BOX AND YOU HEAR THE CREEKS AND IT GETS WORSE WHEN IT IS LIGHTLY LOADED. IT STARTED IN LATE FEBURARY OF 2019 AND THE TRUCK HAS 81000 MILES ON IT.

STEERING
THE STEERING IN MY TACOMA HAS SUDDENLY BECOME STIFF. IT BEGAN 3 DAYS AGO AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE TRUCK IS HANDLING POORLY. THE STEERING FEELS TIGHT AT ALL SPEEDS. I HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM AS YET BUT HAVE BEEN LUBRICATING THE UNIVERSAL JOINT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING SHAFT. IT FEEL SIMILAR TO THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD WITH MY 2005 TACOMA. THE STEERING SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT SHOULD BE DESIGNED AS A SEALED UNIT AND ABILITY TO GREASE IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL - ERROR CODE P2437 AND P2438. MY TRUCK HAS 76000 MILES ON IT AND IS NOW IN LIMP MODE. IT WAS VERY SCARY WHEN IT WENT THERE ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE SEEN ONLINE THIS PROBLEM EXISTING ON OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES AND THEY HAVE RECALLS, BUT NOT THE TACOMA. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE TRUCK WON'T GO ABOVE 45 MPH AND THE TRAC LIGHT IS ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT JUST... HAPPENED. LOOK INTO THIS COMMON PROBLEM PLEASE AND ADDRESS IT CORRECTLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'VE HAD 5 DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL ON MY 4 DOOR TACOMA. BOTH PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS WERE INOPERATIVE AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN THE DOOR LOCKS FAIL, THE ELECTRONIC LOCKS AND KEYLESS ENTRY DO NOT WORK. THE PASSENGER-SIDE DOORS DO NOT HAVE A KEY-HOLE BACKUP, MEANING THAT ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO UNLOCK THOSE DOORS WITHOUT HAVING TO CRAWL THROUGH THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IF I NEEDED TO GET A CHILD OUT OF THE BACK-SEAT QUICKLY, THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.
