MY 2004 TOYOTA TACOMA WAS "RECALLED FOR UNDERCOATINHG" WHICH WAS DONE 02/11. IN 2017, ON ADVICE FROM MY PRIVATE, PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC HE INFORMED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA ABOUT CORROSIVE RUSTING OF FRAME. IT WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP, I PURCHASED IT FROM. IN 2018, IT WAS INSPECTED AND, PASSED, AGAIN. 2 WEEKS AGO, I FOUND A CRACK IN MY FRAME, SLIGTLY IN FRONT OF LEFT REAR, TIRE WELL, BY GAS TANK. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A DEALERSHIP, FOR FRAME INSPECTION TOMORROW. I DON'T FEEL SAFE, DRIVING IT. I'M DISABLED AND, I AM THE TRUCKS 2ND OWNER. I PURCHASED MY 04 IN, 2006. IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION. MILEAGE, 122,500. IRONICALLY, THE TIRE HANGER PLATE HAS BEEN RECALLED AND, REPLACED AROUND 2014. IN 2017 MY PROTECTIVE PLATE, FELL AND, DROPPED THE GAS TANK. IT WAS, BROKEN IN 1/2. MY MECHANIC SECURED IT AND, UPON INSPECTION IT PASSED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I ASKED IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO REPLACE THE PROTECTIVE PLATE AND, I WAS TOLD "NO." I ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION AND, WASN'T GIVEN ONE. IT WAS THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT "UNDERCOATED," MY TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK PERFORMED A 2+HR INSPECTION ON THE FRAME IN 2017. THE DEALERSHIP THAT "UNDERCOATED," MY TRUCK ONLY HAD IT IN THE REPAIR AREA, FOR 15MINS AND, BROUGHT IT BACK OUT, STATING THEY "HAMMER-TESTED" IT AND, IT WAS IN GREAT SHAPE? I'M WORRIED SICK OVER MY OUTCOME, TOMORROW. I'M IN NO FINANCIAL POSTION TO REPLACE MY TRUCK. A TRUCK I WAS TOLD WOULD LAST UP TO 300,000'MILES. I DID COMPLAIN TO TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS IN 2018, WAS GIVEN A CLAIM NUMBER I CALLED THEM WHEN I FOUND THE CRACK, IN THE LEFT-SIDE, REAR OF MY FRAME, THIS, PAST FRIDAY. I HAD BEEN HEARING A "RATTLE," FROM BENEATH MY TRUCK, THE LAST FEW TIMES, I HAD DRIVEN IT. I BARELY HAD TO BEND OVER, TO SEE THE CRACK IN MY FRAME! THIS IS A HORRIFICLY, DANGEROUS CONDITION. (IT WAS PARKED AND, NOT RUNNING, WHEN I FOUND THE CRACK, IN THE FRAME.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN SITTING ON A HILL, WHEN YOU MOVE FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS THE TRANSMISSIN (AUTOMATIC) APPEARS TO GO IN NEUTRAL AND THE TRUCK WILL ROLL BACKWARDS A WAYS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AGAIN. I TOLD A SERVICE TECH AT DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND HE SAID THEY ALL DO IT AND THERE IS NO FIX. HE ASKED ME IF I HAD IT IN THE MOUNTAINS YET AND I TOLD HIM NO AND HE SMILED AT ME SO NOW I AM SCARED TO GO INTO THE MOUNTAINS. THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR VERY DANGEROUS IN AN OFF ROAD SITUATION. THE TECH SAID THEY HAVE HAD 4 OTHERS IN THIS WEEK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY GIVE ME AN APPT. FOR NEXT WEEK SO THEY CAN PUT MY TRUCK ON THE LIST.

MY VEHICLE IS JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD WITH ABOUT 34000 MILES. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE VEHICLES PRIOR TO MY TACOMA AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO CHANGE THE EVAPORATOR CORE. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT A LOT OF TACOMAS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THAT FROM 2016 AND UP THE TACOMAS STARTED USING THE NEW FREE ON, TYPE 1234YF, WHICH I BELIEVE IS FLAMMABLE, UNLIKE R134. TOYOTA SHOULD REALLY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
HEARD VALVES TAPPING ALOT OF TIME. REPORTED AND TOOK TO TOYOTA. THEY SAID NO CODE NO WORK. THEY GAVE THE LINE OF WHEN THIS GAS HITS THIS PART THEN THIS ONE TRIES TO CATCH UP OR BURN EXCESS FUEL. OUT OF 40 PLUS YEARS AND PUCHASING MANY VEHICLE I NEVER BEEN TOLD THAT BEFORE. I TALKED TO OTHER 2017 OWNERS AND THEY DONT HAVE THIS ISSUE. ALSO THE BRAKES MAKE METALIC CLUNKING NOISES MOVING BACKWARS AND FOWRDS WHEN BRAKING. THIER ANSWER WAS FLOATING VALVES. AND AGAIN THIS ISSUE ISNT ON OTHER TACOMMA OWNERS. I TRYED THREE TIMES WITH VALVE ISSUES. SAME OLD LINE NO CODE NO WORK. MAYBE PADS ARE WORN BUT STILL HAVE 70 % LEFT ON PADS

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SOME TIME NOW AND IS RELATED TO MY BREAKS. AT FIRST NOT SO BAD BUT IS BECOMING MUCH WORSE OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. LET ME DESCRIBE AS I DID TO MY TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER LAST WEEK BEFORE MY LAST SERVICE AND MULTI POINT INSPECTION. WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND I APPLY THE BREAKS TO SLOW THE VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JUMPS BACK AND FORTH IN MY HANDS. THE HARDER I APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE THE WORSE IT GETS. I JUST RETURNED FROM A TRIP WITH SOME FRIENDS GOLFING. WE TRAVELED FROM CUMMING, GA TO HUNTSVILLE, AL. THIS WAS CHRONIC AND GETTING A BIT SCARY. WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW AND IT HAS ONLY ABOUT 40,000 MILES. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE VEHICLE BUT THIS IS NOT GOOD. WE (MY WIFE AND I) ARE MAKING A TRIP TO GREEN BAY, WI TO VISIT FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THIS IS SERIOUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED. IT FEELS UNSAFE. OUR CURRENT SERVICE CENTER IS BEAVER TOYOTA OF CUMMING GA. WE ARE LEAVING JUNE 6, 2019 TO TRAVEL TO GREEN BAY..... IT WOULD BE NICE IT WERE FIXED BEFORE WE LEAVE!J MY TELEPHONE (CELL) IS (XXXXXX) PLEASE CALL.
