2001 TACOMA, TOOK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY COULDN'T LIFT THE TRUCK. THE FRAME WAS RUSTED THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES. GOING ON LINE IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA TACOMA'S. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT OR TOWING ANYTHING AS THE FRAME IS TOTALLY GONE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYONE IS HAVING ANY LUCK WITH TOYOTA ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. SAD THAT SOMEONE MAY HAVE TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THEY WILL STEP UP.

MY 2012 TACOMA IS THROWING LIGHTS ON FOR A NEW SECONDARY AIR INJECTOR VALVE , PARTS P2440 AND P2442. THE TOYOTA MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS AS THE 2012'S HOLD MOISTURE AFTER SHUT DOWN AND THE VALVES BREAK DOWN. I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ONLINE AND A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX FOR US ALL. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED FIX, JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T CAUSE IN IMMINENT HEALTH HAZARD DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA SHOULD COVER. THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE ONCE A SENSOR DETECTS THIS PROBLEM IS THAT IT PUTS IT IN A LIMP MODE, AND MAKES THE VEHICLE VERY SLUGGISH EVEN DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE 45 MPH.

TACOMA FRAME RECALL: GOOD DAY, I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE WITH MY MATTER AND PEOPLE WERE SAYING TO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. I HAVE A 2002 SINGLE CAB TOYOTA TACOMA WHICH FRAME HAS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT NOW WITH A HOLE RITE THROUGH THE FRAME. I PROVIDED TOYOTA WITH MY VIN NUMBER YET THEY SAY I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A FRAME REPLACEMENT YET THIS IS A FACTORY DEFAULT ON TOYOTAS FAULT. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD AND I USE IT EVERY DAY FOR WORK WHERE MY LINE OF WORK INVOLVES DRIVING FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE EVERYDAY ALL DAY AND I WAS WANDERING IF YOU COULD HELP WITH FILING A CLAIM AGAINST TOYOTA? I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE FRAME WHICH IS ABOVE THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE.

IN MA YOU NEED TO HAVE AN ANNUAL VEHICLE INSPECTION. I WENT FOR THAT INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT PASS THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF A SEVERELY RUSTED FRAME. I WENT TO THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD TO EITHER AGREE TO PAY FOR A FRAME REPLACEMENT OR JUNK THE TRUCK. I CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A VALID INSPECTION.

DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, MY MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE FRAME WAS COMPLETELY SHOT, STATING HE WAS NOT EVEN COMFORTABLE WORKING UNDER IT! THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS IN REASONABLE CONDITION, AND IT ONLY HAS 111,000 MILES ON IT. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SVC CTR, BUT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BECAUSE THE AGENT EXPLAINED THEY HAD A "LIMITED SVC CAMPAIGN" TO ADD CORROSION PROTECTION, BUT INFORMED ME THAT IT HAD EXPIRED BACK ON 7/31/2014. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS CAMPAIGN. THE AGENT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FRAME WAS INSPECTED BACK IN 2012 (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE YEAR I PURCHASED IT IN, SO I ASSUME THIS WAS DONE JUST PRIOR TO MY BUYING IT), AND PASSED STATING THERE WAS "NO" RUST -- WHICH IS FALSE! MISLED BY MANY AND SOLD FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT COULD HAVE ENDANGERED OR KILLED ME AND OTHERS, I AM VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THIS! RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I SEE THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS, BY FAR. SO, BASICALLY, WE'VE ALL THROWN AWAY MANY $1000'S AND CAN RECOVER NONE OF IT, NOR CAN WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT FEARING IT WILL, QUITE LITERALLY, FALL APART!

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".

IT'S THE TIRES I BOUGHT. THEY BFGOODRICH P255 70R 16 RUGGED TA. I EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THEM FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE. SAM'S CLUB MOVED THE BAD TIRES FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED,UNTIL THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AT THE SCHEDULED INTERVAL. THE PROBLEM WAS BACK. THE TIRES ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY,BUT I'M GETTING THE RUNAROUND FROM BFGOODRICH ON REPLACEMENT. THE TIRES ARE CAUSING VIBRATIONS ABOVE 50MPH. MY VEHICLE'S STEERING AND RELATED COMPONENTS CHECKED OUT OK,RIMS HAVE SWITCHED,TIRES BALANCED MORE THAN 10 TIMES, WITH THE SAME VIBRATING RESULTS. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN CHECKED OUT AS FAULTY BY A FACILITY BFGOODRICH SENT ME TO. I'M GETTING THE RUNAROUND FROM BFGOODRICH ABOUT ACTUALLY GETTING THEM REPLACED STILL.

THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GET STUCK AND NOT DISPLAY AN INCREASE OR DECREASE IN SPEED WHILE DRIVING. OR IT WOULD DISPLAY AN INCREASE IN SPEED UP TO 60 MPH AND THEN TREAT 60 AS 0. EX. I WAS GOING 45 BUT IT READ THAT I WAS GOING 95. OR SOMETIMES, IT WOULD JUST INCREASE ALL THE WAY TO 120 MPH AND THEN STOP. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE GAUGE WOULD STILL READ WHERE IT WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. I WAS NEVER SURE OF THE SPEED I WAS GOING AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER WITHIN A MONTH OF THE OCCURRENCE. THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 10 MONTHS OLD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 MONTHS. THEY ARE WAITING ON TOYOTA TO CREATE & SHIP A NEW SPEEDOMETER BECAUSE TOYOTA IDENTIFIED THAT THE SPEEDOMETERS IN SOME OF THEIR MAKE/MODELS WERE FAULTY.
