EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY LENS WERE DISTORTED AND BUBBLED ON BOTH SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS TWICE ON THE RIGHT & 1 ON THE LEFT. NOW THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS DISTORTED AND BUBBLED AGAIN AND TOYOTA REFUSED TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT IS OUTSIDE THE 5 YEARS/70,000 MI WARRANTY. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND A DEFECT FROM THE DESIGN. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PICTURE FOR REFERENCE.

POWER TRAIN
I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR RECALL NO. 17V-285 ON MAY 15, 2017. IT REMAINS THERE FOR 3 AND HALF MONTHS WITH NO DATE FOR COMPLETING THE REPAIR (DUE TO PART NOT AVAILABLE, I WAS TOLD). DURING THE WAIT, I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE, 17V-356. THE LENGTH OF THE WAIT IS UNREASONABLE. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO HELP THE ADDRESS AND REMEDY THE SITUATION THANK YOU.

SUSPENSION
TOOK TRUCK TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REQUESTING REAR LEAF SPRING ON PASSENGER SIDE TO BE REPLACED AFTER I REALIZED IT SQUEAKS ALL THE TIME AND RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ABOUT SPRING. WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULDN'T DO THE REPAIRS B/C IT HAS A LIFT KIT ON THE TRUCK AND IN ORDER FOR THEM TO PREFORM THE JOB THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY LIFT KIT OFF AT MY EXPENSE. LEAF SPRING IS STILL SQUEAKING. I EVEN ASKED IF TOYOTA WOULD PAY FOR THE LEAF SPRING AND LET ME HAVE SOMEONE ELSE INSTALL AND WAS TOLD NO. NOW I HAVE A SQUEAKY LEAF SPRING THAT COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME AND IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE PRODUCT.

THE GAS TANK STRAPS RUSTED AND THE GAS TANK FELL FROM THE BODY OF THE TRUCK WHILE IN MOTION AT LOW SPEED ENTERING A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS PART OF THE NORTH EAST CORROSION RECALL AND SERVICED IN NOV 2015. HOWEVER, THE STRAPS WERE NOT REPLACED AND FAILED ABOUT 21 MONTHS LATER. CASE FILED WITH TOYOTA, 1708182077 WITH NO RESOLUTION NOR CONCERN WITH THE CONDITION. IRA TOYOTA OF MANCHESTER INVOICE# 736796 REPLACED THE FUEL SUB-ASSY BANDS P/N 77601-04050 AND 77602-04010. A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL WAS SPILLED DUE TO THE LOW SPEED OF TRAVEL AT THE TIME AND SHORT DISTANCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE (ABOUT 5MPH AND 30 FEET). CONCERN IS FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE THAT MIGHT HAVE STRAPS FAIL WHILE AT HIGHER SPEED.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST . DOES THIS TRUCK HAVE TAKATA AIRBAGS? DID TAKATA MAKE THESE BAGS SAFE BUT ALL OTHERS DEFECTIVE. THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT AS WELL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THESE DANGEROUS AIRBAGS FOR YEARS YET THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE RECALL. ARE YOU SURE OF THEIR SAFETY?!!

MY FRAME HAS SIGNIFICANT RUST, AND HAS HOLES IN THE FRAME NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING ATTACHMENT. I PURCHASED AND REGISTERED THE TRUCK TOWARDS THE END OF TOYOTA'S GOODWILL CAMPAIGN, BUT THEY DID NOT NOTIFY ME. PREVIOUS OWNER RECEIVED NO NOTICE OF CAMPAIGN, SO THE FRAME WAS NOT SPRAYED INTERNALLY WITH RUST PROHIBITOR TREATMENT. TRUCK HAS APPROX. 136,000 MILES, AND IS OTHERWISE IN GOOD CONDITION. TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THE FRAMES FOR THIS MODEL YEAR LIKE THEY DID FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS. THE GOODWILL CAMPAIGN WAS ADVERTISED INCONSISTENTLY, AND A SERIOUS STRUCTURAL ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT ARBITRARY. CASE #1402130463 WAS ESTABLISHED WITH TOYOTA A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY ALSO COULD NOT CONFIRM THAT PRIOR OWNER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING GOODWILL CAMPAIGN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NAVIGATION CRASHES AND /OR FREEZES WHILE DRIVING. CAN BE A PROBLEM IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA WHILE RELYING ON GUIDANCE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TROUBLESOME WHEN MANY QUICK TURNS ARE INVOLVED. FREEZING UNIT MUST BE REBOOTED WHICH TAKES TIME AND BECOMES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING.
