ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I TURN THE IGNITION TO START MY ENGINE THE GAS GAUGE TAKES ABOUT 15 SECONDS TO RESPOND. MOST FREQUENTLY THAN NOT, THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE COOLANT GAUGE DO NOT WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN I GET TO MY DESTINATION AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE, AND RESTART, THE GAUGES WORK (SOMETIMES). I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT IT, AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND IT WOULD COST $1000.00 TO REPLACE THE MAIN HARNESS THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE TACHOMETER, AND THE ODOMETER WORK JUST FINE. I DO FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, CONSIDERING SOMETIMES I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MY SPEED IS, OR IF MY ENGINE IS GETTING TO HOT, AND OVER HEATING, CAUSING DAMAGE TO IT. I'VE BEEN A TOYOTA TRUCK OWNER SINCE 1987, AND THIS IS MY SECOND TRUCK. YOUR VEHICLES ARE VERY DEPENDABLE, AND I HOPE YOU CAN RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE KEEP INFORMED ON THIS MATTER, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. DON

SUSPENSION
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA SR5, 4WD CREW CAB TRUCK THAT WAS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED AND SOLD IN PLANO TEXAS, THEN RELOCATED AND DRIVEN IN GAITHERSBURG MARYLAND FOR 16 YEARS. UPON OBTAINING A FRAME INSPECTION FROM MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO OPERATE DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE FRAME, AND SPECIFYING THE FRAME WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE RUST HAS PERFORATED THE FRAME RAILS IN SEVERAL AREAS AND HAS COMPROMISED THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. THE FRAME OF THIS VEHICLE LACKS ADEQUATE CORROSION PROTECTION WHICH HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
LIKE MANY OTHERS, MY 2012 TACOMA SUDDENLY LOST POWER ON THE HIWAY. REFUSED TO GO ABOVE 40 OR SO MPH. OTHER CARS HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID ME. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED NEARLY $2000.00 TO REPLACE THE SAME PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE TUNDRAS AS BEING DEFECTIVE. SECONDARY AIR INJECTION STUCK OPEN. THE CODES ARE P2440 AND P2442. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. TOYOTA ISSUED A TSB AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 150K FOR THE TUNDRA BUT NOT THE TACOMA. SAME PARTS! MY TACOMA WAS IN MOTION WHEN SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. CHECK OUT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM
