I WAS NOTIFIED OF SAFETY RECALL 17V-285 REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAK IN JULY 2017. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN AND THEY SAID PART IS ON ORDER. NOW, FIVE MONTHS LATER, IT IS SITLL ON ORDER. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN UNREASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME FOR A SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE RECEIVED TWO RECALL NOTICES ON MY 2016 TOYOTA TACOMA LIMITED PICKUP TRUCK. THE SECOND NOTICE WAS IN JULY, 2017. I HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE RECALLS DONE BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM TOYOTA YET. THE RECALLS COULD EFFECT THE DRIVABILITY OF THE TRUCK WHICH MAKES ME HESITANT TO USE IF FOR LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL.

THE TOYOTA TACOMA AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER HOSE IS VERY EASILY BLOCKED ALLOWING LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER TO BUILD UP BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. (THE CONDENSER HOSE'S PURPOSE IS TO DISCHARGE CONDENSATION FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER.) THIS CREATES A FIRE HAZARD, THE POTENTIAL FOR MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON/ FREQUENT AND TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS - BUT FAILS TO ACCEPT IT IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE NEEDED TO 'UNCLOG:' THE HOSE TWICE OVER THE LAST YEAR. LAST WEEK, THE LARGE BUILD UP OF WATER IN BEHIND MY DASHBOARD RESULTED IN SMOKE COMING INTO THE CABIN OF MY CAR. AFTER THAT INCIDENT, I TOOK MY RELATIVELY NEW CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP; I WAS TOLD THIS REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. AGAIN THIS IS A PROBLEM CAUSED BY A FAULTY DESIGN

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A BUSY THREE-LANE CITY STREET, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, I HEARD A "BEEP" SOUND, "BRAKE OVERRIDE MALFUNCTION" APPEARED OF MY DASHBOARD DISPLAY, I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, AND THE ENGINE CAME TO A SLOW IDLE. SINCE I DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, I COULD ONLY COAST TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE STREET. SINCE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER LANE ON THIS STREET, MY VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE, BLOCKING THE LANE OF TRAFFIC FOR SOME TIME UNTIL TWO GENTLEMEN CAME TO ASSIST ME WITH PUSHING MY VEHICLE OUT OF DANGER. REPAIR TOOK 10 BUSINESS DAYS SINCE THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE INITIALLY (REPAIR INVOICE WILL BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST). TWO DAYS AFTER I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE BATTERY DIED IN A PARKING LOT. I'M NOT SURE IF THE BATTERY DEFECT IS RELATED TO THE "BRAKE OVERRIDE MALFUNCTION".

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM UNDER MY TRUCK BED AND REDUCED PROPULSION. ROSEVILLE TOYOTA COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN I TOOK IT THERE FOR MY FIRST 3 SERVICES. SO ON 5/22/17 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO FOLSOM LAKE TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE REAR DIFF LEAK NHTSA RECALL#17V-285 AND INSPECTED AND FOUND A LEAK. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND WHEN I DO CALL THEM TO ORDER THE PARTS. I CALLED THEM WHEN I GOT THE NOTICE IN JUNE AND WAS TOLD I'D BE CALLED WHEN THE PARTS ARE IN AND ITS 10/3/17 AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE ALL THE PARTS IN AND HAVE NOT REPAIRED MY NEW 2016 TACOMA IN A TIMELY MANNER.
