I WENT TO MY MECHANIC FOR A SMALL REPAIR RECENTLY AND HE INFORMED ME (AND SHOWED ME) EXTENSIVE RUST ON THE FRAME AND A MAJOR SPLIT IN THE FRAME FROM THE EXTENSIVE RUST. HE HAS TOLD ME THAT PERFORATIONS ARE IMMINENT IN THE FRAME AND THAT THE FRAME WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. HE ALSO FOUND RUST DAMAGE TO MY BRAKES, ROTORS, PAINT (CHIPPING WITH RUST), WHEEL CAPS, AND TAILGATE. HE INFORMED ME THAT I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON DIRT ROADS OR HAUL ANYTHING. 75% OF THE ROADS WHERE I RESIDE ARE DIRT ROADS. COST OF FRAME REPLACEMENT WOULD EXCEED WHAT I PAID FOR THE TRUCK; I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 6 MONTHS. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR ASSISTANCE, BUT HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM EITHER. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS SETTLED IN 2016 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO REPLACE THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK AND REPAIR OR REPLACE ALL OF THE AFFECTED PARTS OF THE TRUCK DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE RUST DAMAGE. I USE MY TRUCK TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF MY MOM WHO LIVES 600+ MILES FROM ME; MY MECHANIC HAS INFORMED ME THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK FOR LONG DISTANCES. THIS HAS A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON MY DAILY LIFE AND MY ABILITY TO TAKE CARE OF MY MOM. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO BARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY DEFICIENT PARTS USED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE LIABLE FOR THESE DAMAGES. PLEASE ADVISE. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LAWYER.

THE VEHICLE FRAME IS SO RUSTY EVERYWHERE INCLUDING VISIBLE CRACKS THAT I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE ANYMORE. I AM SURE IT WILL NOT BE SAFE TO TOW ANYTHING FOR SURE OR THE THING WILL BREAK IN HALF.

I PURCHASED A USED 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA SEVERAL YEARS AGO. MY MECHANIC RECENTLY NOTICED SEVERE RUST DAMAGE TO MY FRAME WHEN PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE. THEY MENTIONED TO ME ABOUT A CAMPAIGN THAT TOYOTA WAS DOING WHERE THEY WERE REPLACING FRAMES OR COATING THEM. WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS I LEARNED THAT THE CAMPAIGN HAD EXPIRED ON 3/31/16. I SPOKE WITH AN EXECUTIVE WITH TOYOTA SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER SINCE IT IS AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE. THEY SAID THEY MAILED OUT 3 NOTICES IN REGARDS TO THE CAMPAIGN IN WHICH I DID NOT RECEIVE A ONE. I OBVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE HAD I KNOWN. I AM VERY SURPRISED THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT EXTEND THIS CAMPAIGN OR THAT IT WOULD NOT BE DEEMED AS A FULL BLOWN RECALL WITH NO EXPIRATION! HOW CAN SUCH A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE! I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I AM NERVOUS TO BE DRIVING LET ALONE HAVE A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY DRIVE. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING ESPECIALLY SINCE I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. *TR

MAJOR FRAME RUST ISSUE. FRAME IS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF PERFORATION. BACK ON 6/23/14 TOYOTA ADVISED SPRAYING THE UNDERCARRIAGE, WHICH WAS DONE AT A DEALERSHIP REPAIR ORDER #0840463. WENT BACK TO HAVE THE LEAF SPRINGS FIXED DUE TO RECALL AND TO HAVE THE FRAME INSPECTED. NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE FRAME RUST RECALL EXPIRED IN MARCH OF 2016 AND IT IS OUT OF THEIR HANDS. NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET TOYOTA TO FIX THE FRAME SINCE THE SPRAYING DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE INTENTION OF PARKING IN THE GARAGE. I WAS SLOWLY WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, TURNING INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE SIMULTANEOUSLY STARTED TO SQUEAL (AS I WAS ON THE BRAKE) AND ACCELERATE. I KEPT PUSHING HARDER AND HARDER ON THE BRAKE, THE SQUEALING CONTINUED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND SHUT THE IGNITION OFF PRIOR TO CRASHING INTO ANYTHING.

I TOOK MY TOYOTA TACOMA 2006 IN FOR SERVICE AT PAULY TOYOTA 1035 S. ROUTE 31, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL 60014 LAST NIGHT AND THEY FOUND SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE FRAME, THE AREA WERE THE SPRINGS ARE MOUNTING TO, IS REALLY RUSTED AND IN REALLY BAD CONDITION. THE CRACKS DON'T SEEM TO BE NEW, AND THERE IS EVEN PAINT IN BETWEEN THE CRACK SO THEY KNEW THE CRACK WAS THERE IN FEBRUARY 2015 WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO BE PAINTED, THIS WAS PART OF THE FRAME RUST RECALL BY TOYOTA. THE FRAME WAS NOT WIRE BRUSH AT LEAST TO GET SOME OF THE RUST OFF FOR THE PAINT TO ATTACH TO IT, WITHIN 2 MONTHS BIG PIECES OF METAL AND PAINT WERE FALLING FROM THE FRAME. ON SEPTEMBER OF 2015 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO PAULY TOYOTA TO BE INSPECTED FOR HOLE OR PROBLEMS IN THE FRAME, BECAUSE OF THE BIG PIECES OF METAL FALLING FROM THE FRAME AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK. NOW A YEAR LATER THE FRAME HAS SEVERAL CRACKS.

VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR FRAME CORROSION THAT EXPIRED MARCH 2016. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS CAMPAIGN AND WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE CAMPAIGN AND THAT THE CURRENT STATE OF THE FRAME IS QUESTIONABLE TO PASS VIRGINIA STATE INSPECTION NEXT YEAR. I HAVE FILED A BBB COMPLAINT AND THE RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA WAS THAT THEY ARE COMPLIANT WITH ALL REGULATIONS AND THAT NO ACCOMMODATION OR EXTENSION OF THE LSC WILL BE CONSIDERED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO NOW HAS A VEHICLE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY FAIL DUE TO AN ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER.

I JUST PULLED MY TRUCK INTO MY FRIEND'S DRIVEWAY. CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. KEPT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WENT TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION FROM DRIVE INTO PARK. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE REVS UP, THE WHEELS SPIN; I'M STANDING ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP MY TRUCK FROM ADVANCING FORWARD. BUT MY TRUCK PULLS FORWARD AND CRASHES THROUGH MY FRIEND'S GARAGE DOOR. I FINALLY GOT IT TO STOP BY COMPLETING THE SHIFT INTO PARK AND LETTING OFF ON THE BRAKE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO OTHER CAR IN THE GARAGE, AND NO ONE GOT HURT.
