TOYOTA IMPOUNDED MY 2016 VEHICLE OVER 3 WEEKS AGO ON A RECALL AND THE DEALER AND CORPORATE HAVE TOLD ME ON A FEW OCCASIONS THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE IN IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO RECEIVE THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE TELLING THE CONSUMER THAT THEY HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER. MY TRUCK IS PAID FOR AND I WANT IT BACK.IT'S NOW SITTING IN THEIR BACK LOT IN THE 110 DEGREE HEAT OF ARIZONA. IS TOYOTA GOING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR ME ON THE PAINT SINCE THE DUST IS JUST BAKING ON IN THE SUMMER SUN? THERE SEEMS TO BE A CULTURE OF DECEIT GOING ON AT TOYOTA TO PROTECT THERE BOTTOM LINE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THEIR NONCHALANT ATTITUDE TOWARDS THEIR CONSUMERS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY SOMEONE WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAK. RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL H0G FROM TOYOTA. MADE APPOINTMENT AND TOOK TRUCK TO TOYOTA OF EL CAJON, MILEAGE WAS 15,002. WAS ADVISED THERE WAS SEEPAGE AND IMPOUNDED TRUCK AND PROVIDED ME A LOANER VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SECURE ANY FIRM ANSWERS ON WHEN THE TRUCK WILL BE REPAIRED OTHER THAN THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS DAY 21 IN THE SHOP, REPORTS OF OTHERS OVER 60+ DAYS. I HAVE A LOAN ON THE VEHICLE THAT I HAVE CONTINUE TO PAY THOUGH I DO NOT HAVE A TRUCK TO DRIVE. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS I BELIEVE WAS SOLD ME A VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2016 KNOWING THERE WAS ISSUES WITH THE MODEL YEAR. MY TRUCK IS NOT UNDER OP CODE H0G316, SO MY PARTS ARE UNDER THE NORMAL ORDERING PROCESS. TOYOTA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE SIMPLY PROVIDES LIP SERVICE ONLY AND NO DETAILS ON THE POTENTIAL RELEASE OF REPAIR KITS.

WHEN CHECKING UNDER MY TRUCK FOR A NOISE, MY SON-IN-LAW DISCOVERED THAT THE FRAME ON MY 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA TRUCK WAS RUSTED WITH LARGE HOLES AND PERFORATIONS ON BOTH SIDES IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND ACTUALLY WAS CRUMBLING OFF IN HIS HAND. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THE TACOMA FRAMES, BUT IT WAS SETTLED IN MARCH 2016. I CALLED TOYOTA USA AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD SENT ME A NOTICE ABOUT THE LAWSUIT. HOWEVER, I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING ABOUT THIS NOR DID I KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TOYOTA DOING ANY REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY TRUCK. I HAD A 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA THAT DID HAVE A RECALL ON THE FRAME RUST, BUT MINE DID NOT HAVE ANY PERFORATIONS AND I HAVE SINCE SOLD THAT TRUCK. I BOUGHT THIS 2005 TRUCK IN 2014 AND HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THE FRAME. I HAVE RECEIVED OTHER RECALL NOTICES WHICH I HAVE HAD REPAIRED AT A DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM. TOYOTA SAYS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THEIR TRUCKS BUCKLE IN HALF. I AM SUBMITTING PICTURES OF JUST A FEW OF THE SPOTS OF DETERIORATION OF MY FRAME. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS STARTED, BUT WE DISCOVERED IT ON JUNE 11, 2017. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK.

WHEN I CHANGED THE OIL IN MARCH, I NOTICED A HUGE HOLE ON THE INSIDE OF THE LEFT FRAME MEMBER, NEXT TO THE GAS TANK. I THEN CHECKED THE RIGHT SIDE, AND FOUND A LONG LINE OF RUSTED THROUGH HOLES ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THAT FRAME MEMBER. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT BY THE OEM'S SELECTION OF STEEL GRADES.

TOYOTA SERVCO MAPUNPUNA SAID THEY WILL BE KEEPING MY TRUCK FOR UP TO, IF NOT MORE, THEN 2 MONTHS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I NEED MY TRUCK AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE IT BEING IN THE SALT WATER ELEMENTS, WITHOUT COVERING FOR UP TO 2 MONTHS OR MORE. I WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER IF YOU/COMPANY PROVIDED A TRUCK COVER TO GO OVER MY TRUCK BECAUSE I PAID EXTRA MONEY, THROUGH TOYOTA, TO HAVE A SPECIAL COATING ON THE TRUCK TO PROTECT IT FROM THE ELEMENTS. I WASH THE TRUCK EVERY 1 1/2 TO 2 WEEKS SO THAT ELEMENTS DO NOT RUIN THE COATING ON MY TRUCK. SO UP TO 2 MONTHS OR MORE TO FIX A SLIGHT LEAK IS RIDICULOUS BEYOND BELIEF.
