SUSPENSION
AFTER NEARLY TWO YEARS, THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE AND I'M BEGINNING TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS IN GENERAL. TWO YEARS IS ABSURD! I NEED TO REPLACE THE REAR SHOCKS AS WELL BUT DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT MIGHT POSSIBLY MESS UP THE RECALL FIX, IF IT'S .EVER COMPLETED.THE DEFECT FROM THAT CAUSED THE SPRINGS, I BELIEVE, IS ALSO CAUSING THE REAR SPRINGS TO FAIL OVERALL.

LEAF SPRINGS HAVE BROKEN TWICE. FIRST TIME IN 2013 AND CURRENT. TOYOTA SAYS MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. MY TRUCK SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS IT HAS THE SAME SAFETY CONCERN AS THE ONES BEING RECALLED.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2011 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE HORN STOPPED WORKING SO I TOOK THE CAR INTO A TOYOTA CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THEY SAID THIS WAS CAUSED BY SPIRAL CABLE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THEY HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THEM WITH THE TOYOTA TACOMA, BUT NOT COVERED BY A RECALL YET. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT - AND RESULTS IN A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AIR BAG FAILURE, THE AIR BAGS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITHOUT COST TO THE OWNERS. THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED OVER MANY MONTHS AS THE HORN BECAME INCREASINGLY INTERMITTENT UNTIL IT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS PARKED AT A TRAILHEAD, AT ABOUT 3500' ELEVATION. AFTER THE HIKE, AS I MANEUVERED THE TRUCK AROUND THE PARKING LOT, I REALIZED THAT I HAD LITTLE OR NO BRAKING ABILITY!! I SLOWLY DROVE AROUND TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY FLUID ON THE GROUND WHERE THE TRUCK HAD BEEN, AND THERE WAS NO FLUID ON THE GROUND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ON THE DASHBOARD, AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING INDICATED ANY TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, I DISCOVERED, AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME, THAT THE BRAKES HAD FAILED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH THEM. THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR EXAMINATION AND REPAIR. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. THE REPLACEMENT MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER ALSO FAILED!! (DURING TESTING, NOT WHILE DRIVING.) THE THIRD MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS PUT IN, AND SEEMS TO BE FINE NOW. DESPITE DETAILED CORRESPONDENCE TO THEM, TOYOTA CORPORATE FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, AND REFUSED TO DISCUSS COMPENSATION. THEY ALSO DID NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT OUR CORRESPONDENCE. FORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF US.

ENGINE
2011 TOYOTA TACOMA EXPERIENCES SPARK KNOCK (DETONATION). SAME SYMTOMS AS IN T-SB-0044-14. ALSO, THE 2011 ENGINE IS THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS IN THE 2012 VEHICLE COVERED BY T-SB-0044-14. SO WHY IS THE 2011 MODEL NOT COVERED BY T-SB-0044-14? I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE PROGRAM AT THE LOCAL DEALER IN JANUARY 2014.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON 2005 TO 2011 TACOMA'S FOR REAR LEAF SPRINGS RUSTING OUT AND BREAKING. WHEN I CHECKED WITH THEM THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE. I HAVE A 2011 TACOMA AND MY REAR LEAF SPRINGS ARE RUSTED AND NOW HAVE BROKEN. ONLY 51000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. WHAT DOES MY VIN NUMBER HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS. THEY HAVE STATED THAT THESE VEHICLES HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RUST AND BREAKAGE OF REAR LEAF SPRINGS THAT COULD CAUSE THE BROKEN PIECE OF SPRING HITTING THE GAS TANK. I FEEL BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS IN THE DATE SPECIFIED IT SHOULD BE COVERED. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HERE.
