AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My problem was associated with the air bag warning light. It came on and so I took my truck to Big Two Toyota in Chandler AZ. Dealer said I had a faulty clock spring assembly that will prevent the air bag system from functioning properly and was a major safety risk.... So I let Dealer remove and replace it for $511.82. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAFETY RECALL.... Please look into this issue for me and other Toyota Tacoma truck owners. Thank you.

The frame of my truck failed at the motor mount. The motor mount has sunk into the frame shifting the motor and effecting performance and other parts. This can be confirmed by anyone. I never received recall information, I can’t find evidence of one issued for this year or my state.

We took our truck to a mechanic to have it looked over before our 18 year old son takes it to college. The mechanic said the frame had so much rust it is unsafe to keep driving it. Once I searched for this problem, Toyota had an extended warranty to cover it, but a recall had never been issued. Therefore, we did not know about it and the warranty time period is up. Now we have a vehicle too unsafe to drive and we didn't know in time to fix it.

SEAT BELTS
I own a 2005 Toyota Tacoma xtra cab with 140445 miles on it. When it had 36000 miles I noticed the driver side seatbelts wearing down that was in 2011 . It’s just me so the passenger side is still good. I contacted Toyota about this problem asking them if there were any recalls or any complaints about the seatbelt wearing down. I was told no complaints. I told them my safety concerns they agreed on having my local dealership take care of the problem. It took some convincing to have it approved. So now I’m having the same issue again I haven’t contacted them yet. I just hope they will fix the problem again. Like I told the person I spoke to none of my other many vehicles have had a safety belt wearing down on the sides. It could be a poor design that’s causing it but none the less it’s needs to be corrected.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRAME AND IN 2015 MY FATHER-IN-LAW OWNED THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT INSPECTED AND ALL I KNOW IS IT PASSED. HE IS DECEASED NOW AND I OWN THE VEHICLE AND RECURVED NOTIFICATION ABOUT A RECALL ON THE REAR SPRINGS SO MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS TO RUSTED TO SAFELY TAKE SPRINGS OFF TO REPLACE. THE FRAME RECALL HAS EXPIRED BUT THE SPRING RECALL IS STILL IN EFFECT. SO I FEEL THAT TO FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE THEY SHOULD FIX THE FRAME SO THAT THEY CAN FIX THE SPRINGS TO SOLVE THE SAFETY ISSUE. ANY ADVICE OR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I AM THE SOLE OWNER/PURCHASER OF A 2005 TACOMA. LAST WEEK A LOUISVILLE, KY TOYOTA DEALER, OXMOOR TOYOTA, WAS REPLACING THE REAR U-JOINTS AND NOTICED RUST AND CORROSION THROUGHOUT THE FRAME. IT WAS SO BAD, THE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN CONSIDERED IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA USA BUT THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO... THERE SEEMS TO BE NEGLIGENCE AND LIABILITY HERE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
