RECEIVED LETTER FROM TOYOTA 2 YEARS AGO ABOUT LEAF SPRING RECALL. AT THIS POINT MY LEAF SPRINGS HAVE WEAKENED TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO HAUL ANYTHING IN THE BED. EVEN DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE EVERY BUMP OR DIP I HIT IN THE ROAD MY TRUCK NOW BOTTOMS OUT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA ON 1/18/2016 WITH A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE WEAKENED STATE OF THE SPRINGS AND MY CONCERN THAT THEY MAY BREAK AT ANYTIME AND ALSO THE FACT OF WHAT ELSE WILL BE WEAKENED, WORE OUT OR BROKE BY THE TIME THE RECALL IS READY. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL SEVERAL DAYS LATER STATING THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT READY AND APOLOGIZED FOR MY INCONVENIENCE AND FRUSTRATIONS. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE HAD AMPLE ENOUGH TIME TO MANUFACTURE THE PARTS AND START BRINGING THEM IN FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THE RECALL WOULD BE READY IN EARLY 2016. WE ARE NOW INTO MARCH AND I CANNOT GO ANY LONGER WITH THE WEAKENED STATE OF THE SPRINGS. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERS AND THEY CANNOT EVEN TELL ME ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT IS UNDER FILE #1601210129. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK AROUND THE 50,000 MILE MARK AND I HAVE JUST CHALKED IT UP AS PARTS BECOMING WEAK AND WORE OUT OVER TIME. I HAD PLANS TO ADD A LEAF TO THE REAR SUSPENSION TO BRING THE RIDE BACK TO WERE IT ONCE WAS. SINCE THE RECALL HAS CAME OUT I GAVE UP THAT IDEA AND HAVE BEEN WAITING IMPATIENTLY SINCE. LIKE I SAID SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE THEY HAVE HAD AMPLE ENOUGH TIME TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

I PURCHASED MY 2009 TACOMA IN AUG OF 2015. I TRIED TO CONTACT HTTP://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/RECALL TO CHECK ON ANY RECALLS THAT MY HAVE EFFECTED MY TRUCK. I TRIED MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES TO SIGN UP, BUT WHEN I INPUTED MY VIN#, THE SITE WOULD ONLY SHOW A SPINNING BALL. I TRIED TO CALL THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED AND IT WAS ALWAYS BUSY. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS I STOPPED TRYING UNTIL RECENTLY THIS YEAR (2016) . I SEE NOW THAT THEY HAVE UPDATED THE SITE AND I CAN NOW SEE MY VIN#. THIS IS GREATLY DISTURBING BECAUSE THE RECALL WHICH WOULD HAVE EFFECTED MY TRUCK HAD A SUNSET DATE OF NOV. 30, 2015. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT FAULTY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS BROKE ON THE TACOMA, I HAD TO PAY FOR NEW, AND WAS TOLD THEY INTEND TO REPLACE THE REMAINING WHEN "THEY COME IN." FOR 2 YEARS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE SPRINGS "TO COME IN". THEY WILL SUPPOSEDLY REIMBURSE ME FOR THE BROKEN SIDE ($300.00), WHEN THE NEW "COME IN". REALLY? 2 YEARS? WHATS GOING ON?

THIS VEHICLE IS 7 YEARS OLD AND 2 YEARS AGO THE READOUT SCREEN FOR THE COMPASS AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE FAILED!! I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID TOYOTA HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CHIP BOARDS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED! I SPENT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE A VEHICLE WITH THESE FEATURES AND NOW IT'S NOT FUNCTIONING! MAKES ME MAD!! GET THIS COMPONENT UNDER RECALL, IT'S REALLY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE! I WOULD HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT SOONER BUT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE.

TOYOTA HAS NOTIFIED ME (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 14V604) ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 AND AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER, 2015 CONCERNING THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF MY TACOMA TOYOTA TRUCK. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS SAFETY RECALL 'FIX' HAS GONE ON MUCH TOO LONG. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER TO SEE ABOUT THIS RECALL BUT THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE NEEDED PARTS FROM TOYOTA. I ALSO CALLED TOYOTA HQ AND THEY TOO DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEAN TIME MY LEAF SPRINGS OCCASIONALLY MAKE NOISES DESCRIBED BY THE DEALER AS A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM. MY QUESTION: WHY IS IT TAKING TOYOTA SO LONG TO REPAIR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SIMPLE PROBLEM? AM I ENDANGERING MY FAMILY AND MYSELF BY CONTINUING TO DRIVE MY 2009 TACOMA?

NO ACCIDENT OR BREAKAGE OF REAR LEAF SPRINGS, BUT I WAS NOTIFIED IN 2014 OF THE RECALL NOTICE AND IT IS NOW 11/2015 AND THEIR IS STILL NO REMEDY! THIS IS TOO LONG A PERIOD FOR A RECALL TO BE ON HOLD, WHEN I HAUL FIREWOOD, A BOAT, ITEMS TO THE LANDFILL AND GRANDKIDS AND HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A LEAF SPRING BREAKING AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO MY FAMILY. TOYOTA MAKES LOTS OF MONEY OFF OF THEIR VEHICLES AND THIS SHOULD BE TOP PRIORITY ON THEIR LIST AND YOU CAN BET IT WILL BE THE LAST TOYOTA I BUY. I'LL GO BACK TO BUYING AMERICAN MADE VEHICLES INSTEAD OF IMPORTS! I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR BUYING A TOYOTA! I DO HAVE A CASE # 1509 FROM TOYOTA, BUT THEY STILL WILL NOT PREPARE A REMEDY, AND I THINK THIS IS BS... YOU TOOK MY MONEY FOR THE TRUCK, NOW FIX IT IN A TIMELY MANNER AND QUIT SCREWING US AROUND. I CAN SEE THERE ARE LOTS OF UNHAPPY OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE FROM THE COMPLAINTS.

THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE CAB OF MY TACOMA, EVEN THOUGH I WASH IT FREQUENTLY AND WAX IT. IT IS FADED AND NOW STARTING TO RUST DUE TO THE PAINT PEELING AND COMING OFF THE TOP OF THE CAB. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO STOP THIS, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK, AND SEEMS TO BE POOR QUALITY PAINT OR WORKMANSHIP. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR AS MINE WITH THE SAME ISSUES.
