This VIN number was totaled due to a bent frame after being rear ended on June 10th. I fear my insurance company (USAA) will attempt to commit fraud by not reporting the title as salvage.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Tacoma. Upon purchase of the vehicle, the contact received a Carfax report from the independent dealer that the vehicle had been placed under a service campaign for frame corrosion. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where he was denied the service campaign because his vehicle was in a non-cold climate state. The manufacturer was also notified, and also denied his claim.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE FAILED VA INSPECTION DUE TO THE HORN NOT WORKING. I HAVE TO GET THE SPIRAL CABLE REPLACED PER THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THIS WAS A RECALL ON TACOMA'S UP TO 2009 (RECALL B1801) BUT NOT MY YEAR. MY YEAR SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS ALSO IMPACTS THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL.

REAR LEAF SPRINGS ARE VERY WEAK AND ARE NOT AS SUPPORTIVE AS THEY SHOULD BE. AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO THE SPRING IS PRETTY MUCH STRAIGHT AND IT SHOULD HAVE SOME CURVE AS THERE IS NO LOAD ON THE VEHICLE.

STEERING
UPON INSPECTION TO TROUBLESHOOT A MINOR POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK, I NOTICED THAT THE PINION INPUT SHAFT HOUSING (RIGHT SIDE OF POWER STEERING RACK) HAD EXCESSIVE RUST BEYOND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE REST OF THE RACK DID NOT EXHIBIT THE SAME DEGREE OF CORROSION, SUGGESTING A MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY DEFECT. THE CONDITION WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND BY TOYOTA TECHNICIANS. THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC STATES THAT THE CONDITION IS BEYOND NORMAL WEAR BUT THE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN DENIES THAT ANYTHING BUT A BOLT IS CORRODED.

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING AND AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING WOULD LOCK UP WHILE TURNING. THE LOWER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT HAS DETERIORATED TO FAILURE. I'M GLAD THAT I DIDN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT CAME CLOSE. WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I FOUND THAT IT WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR ANYONE LIVING IN A AREA (NOT JUST IN THE USA) THAT IS A SNOW AREA WHERE SALT IS USED. TOYOTA CONSIDERS THIS A WEAR ITEM. THIS SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A WEAR ITEM WHEN FAILURE CAN HAPPEN AT ANY GIVEN SECOND WHEN DRIVING AND NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLES DRIVER TO BE IN CONTROL

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE VEHICLE TAKES LONG TO STOP EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BRAKE PADS , ROTORS, BRAKE SHOES, WITH NEW COMPONENTS. THE REAR MAKES A THUD SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING OR COMING TO A STOP. THE LEAF SPRINGS ALSO SQUEAK AND I NOTICED AFTER THEY CHANGED MY FRAME THE LEAF SPRINGS WERE NOT CHANGE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON THE LEAF SPRINGS AND IT WAS RUSTING? THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT STARTED TO MAKE THIS LOUD THUD SOUND WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AROUND 5-10 MPH. THERE IS ALSO A RECALL ON THIS, BUT MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THERE ISN'T ONE? WHY DOESN'T THE MAIN BRANCH TALK TO OR UPDATE THE SYSTEM FOR ALL TOYOTA BRANCHES FOR RECALLS? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO I NOTICED MY BRAKE PEDAL FELT SPONGY. CHECKED FLUID LEVEL, PADS AND SHOES, OK. NO SIGN OF A FLUID LEAK. 1 WEEK LATER I WAS DOING 65MPH AND HAD TO COME TO AN EMERGENCY STOP. MY BRAKE PEDAL FADED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKING AT ALL, COULDN'T PUMP THEM UP AND STEERED FOR THE OPEN SHOULDER. I LIMPED HOME, CHANGED MY SHORTS AND LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON SEVERAL TACOMA FORUMS ON THE WEB. IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND NOBODY HAS AN ANSWER, PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED EVERY COMPONENT INCLUDING THE FLUID WITH NO LUCK. I HOOKED UP MY OBD2 READER THAT HAS ABS FUNCTIONALITY AND IT SHOWED NO FAULT CODES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND EVERYBODY IS JUST GUESSING WHAT CAUSES THE FAILURE. IT IS THE BRAKES!, THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE ON ANY CAR. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN PARKED AND WILL STAY THAT WAY UNTIL SOMEONE (HOPEFULLY TOYOTA) FIGURES OUT WHAT IS WRONG AND WHY.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HORN IN MY 2011 TOYOTA TACOMA QUIT WORKING. I WENT TO USE IT MY HORN, AND IT DID NOT WORK. I'VE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO SEVERAL PLACES TO SEE IF IT COULD BE FIXED. I HAVE BEEN READING WHERE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MANY TOYOTA OWNERS. ALSO, THE WHITE PAINT ON MY CAR IS STARTING TO FLAKE OFF. THE TRUCK ISN'T EVEN 10 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED. YET AGAIN, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS AFFECTED BY THIS. APPARENTLY THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF WHITE PAINT THAT TOYOTA KNOWS TO BE AN ISSUE ON CERTAIN YEAR MODELS, BUT THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL. HAVING A PAINT JOB IS AN EXPENSE THAT MOST CAN NOT AFFORD! I COULD SEE IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS CAUSED FROM AN ACCIDENT OR THE OWNERS FAULT, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. MINE IS STARTING TO PEEL AND FLAKE ON MY PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR AROUND THE WINDOW. THERE WAS NO PRELIMINARY FLAKING OR PEELING OF THE CLEAR COAT, IT WENT STRAIGHT FROM WHITE PAINT TO GRAY. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE WRITTEN IN ABOUT BOTH OF THIS ISSUES AND THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE! THERE IS NO REASON WHY THEY CAN'T FIX OUR HORNS. I LIVE IN N.C. AND MY TRUCK WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT IT. THIS LEADS TO OTHER TICKETS AND FINES THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE NEEDED MY HORN, AND IT DOESN'T WORK.
