SUSPENSION
RECALL FOR REAR LEAF SPRING - NHTSA RECALL 14V-604. "REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM CONTAINS LEAF SPRINGS THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED OF EITHER THREE OR FOUR LEAVES. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A LEAF COULD FRACTURE DUE TO STRESS AND CORROSION. IF THIS OCCURS AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE OPERATED, THE BROKEN LEAF COULD MOVE OUT OF POSITION AND CONTACT SURROUNDING COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE FUEL TANK. IF THE BROKEN LEAF CONTACTS THE FUEL TANK REPEATEDLY, IT COULD PUNCTURE THE TANK AND CAUSE A FUEL LEAK. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE." WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED ON OUR VEHICLE FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. TOYOTA HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY US NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THEY WILL CONTACT THE TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS TO GET THIS RESOLVED. OUR VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED TO GAMBIA, WEST AFRICA IN 2014, BEFORE RECEIVING THIS RECALL, FOR OUR PERSONAL USE THERE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN THE GAMBIA, CFAO, TOLD US THAT IF TOYOTA WOULD SHIP THE PART TO THEM, THEY WOULD INSTALL IT IN OUR VEHICLE. TOYOTA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS AND THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THEY WILL FORWARD THE REQUEST TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS (IN JAPAN?), BUT WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE TO THESE REQUESTS AND, THEREFORE, THE STATUS OF OUR VEHICLE IS STILL RECALL INCOMPLETE. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL LETTERS RECEIVED, IT SAYS THAT ANY AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALER WILL INSPECT, AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE LEAF SPRINGS AT NO CHARGE TO US. WE WANT THIS PART TO BE SHIPPED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN THE GAMBIA, WEST AFRICA: CFAO TOYOTA, MAMADI MANIYANG HWY, KANIFING, GAMBIA. THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS: 220-439-6906 AND FAX NUMBER IS: 220-439-6687.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE VEHICLES STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGES WHEN TAKING SHARP CORNERS, LIKE CURVY HIGHWAYS. WHEN THE STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGES IT LOCKS THE TIRES UP TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE VEHICLE FORCING THE VEHICLE INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE OR OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO FIGHT THE VEHICLE JUST TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT HAS SCARED SOME OF MY PASSENGERS TO THE POINT THAT THEY WON'T RIDE IN MY VEHICLE ANYMORE. I HAVE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER SIMILAR TOYOTA'S IN MY AREA. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.

STEERING
THE STEERING WAS VERY STIFF ON MY TACOMA. I FOUND THAT IT IS DUE TO RUST FORMING ON THE UNIVERSAL JOINT IN THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. I FOUND ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON/KNOWN ISSUE.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE YELLOW PART OF THE HEADLIGHT HAS MELTED CRACKING BOTH LENSES INSIDE, WAS TOLD BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP/CRBIN, KY THE RECALL WAS OVER AND I WAS TOO LATE TO HAVE BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES REPLACED.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, MY DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LINE COMPLETELY BROKE OFF. THIS WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. THE TRUCK IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD. THE TRUCK FRAME HAD BEEN SPRAYED WITH THE ANTI RUST COATING BY TOYOTA A YEAR PRIOR. THE BRAKE LINE WAS NOT COVERED IN THE TOYOTA FRAME RUST RECALL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION AND I HAD NO PRIOR INDICATIONS THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS FAULTY.

THE SIDEWALLS ON ALL 4 TIRES HAVE SPIDERWEB CRACKS. SOME OF THESE CRACKS ARE MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE TREAD. THE TIRES ARE MICHELIN LTX245/75R16 LRE PURCHASED @ COSTCO 9/06/13, ALL HAVE 9/32S TREAD, AND HAVE BEEN DRIVEN 36,000 MILES. CALLED MICHELIN AND WAS TOLD TO GO TO SEARS FOR AN INSPECTION. SEARS CALLED MICHELIN. I WAS OFFERED 4 NEW TIRES (A GOOD WILL GESTURE) FOR $772.56. THAT IS TWICE AS MUCH I PAID FOR TIRE I'M DRIVING ON NOW. I THINK THAT IF I KEEP DRIVING ON THESE TIRES (THERE IS LOTS OF TREAD LEFT) THE TIRE WILL BLOW -OUT. WE WERE PART OF THE FIRESTONE RECALL IN 1999. I WAS OLD THAT THE CRACKING IS COMMON IN MICHELIN....THAT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT.

STEERING
IT SUDDENLY BECAME HARD TO STEER, IT WOULD TURN EASILY (NORMAL EFFORT) PART OF THE WAY, AND FEEL STIFF OR TIGHT PART OF THE WAY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED OFF INTERMITTENTLY BUT THEN BECAME CONSTANT. NOT ONLY WAS IT RISKY MAKING A TURN BECAUSE AT FIRST YOU APPLIED MORE FORCE THAN NORMAL AND SUDDENLY IT BECAME EASIER TO TURN CAUSING OVERSTEER. IT DID NOT WANT TO SEEM TO RETURN TO STRAIGHT WHEN YOU FINISHED THE TURN. THIS PROBLEM WAS THERE WHETHER YOU WENT FAST OR SLOW AND ON ALL SURFACES. WE HAD JUST PAID NEARLY $500 LAST WEEK TO FIX MY OTHER SON'S TACOMA WHEN I DROVE THIS TACOMA AND IT HAS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD PROBABLY SHOULD NEVER GO BAD.

FRAME RUST. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN A COLD WEATHER STATE AND WAS OPERATED IN A COLD WEATHER STATE FOR 7 YEARS BEFORE IT WAS REGISTERED IN A NON COLD WEATHER STATE. FRAME HAS EXCESSIVE RUST AND HAS BEEN INSPECTED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE FRAME 'PASSES.' SINCE THE TRUCK IS NOW NOT IN A COLD WEATHER STATE IT SEEMS TO BE OKAY AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM YET SERVICE ADVISORS SAY THEY WOULDN'T WANT THEIR FRAME TO LOOK LIKE THAT AND URGED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE YET THAT IS A DEAD END WITH ABSOLUTELY NO FIX TO MY FRAME. I ALSO RAN INTO A PROBLEM WHEN I WENT TO TRADE IT IN AND THE SALES MEN AT THE DEALER MENTIONED THE FRAME RUST. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM WHEN I OWN THE VEHICLE BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN BECOMES A PROBLEM/ISSUE IF I WANT TO TRADE IT IN. THAT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. FURTHERMORE, THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN KENTUCKY THAT REPLACED MY REAR LEAF SPRINGS FOR A RECALL WERE THE ONES THAT CONTACTED ME REGARDING THE FRAME WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT AND THE LADY SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA WILL PUT A CORROSION COMPOUND ON THE FRAME TO 'PROTECT' IT. EVIDENTLY RUST GETS BETTER WITH AGE AND I HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT BUT I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE KNOWN HOW NEGLIGENT TOYOTA HAS BEEN WITH RUST PREVENTION ON THEIR FRAMES IN PREVIOUS YEAR TACOMAS. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY TRUCK FIXED ALONG WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

STEERING
THE VEHICLE'S STEERING BECAME VERY STIFF ON TIGHT TURNS AND WOULD NOT RECENTER ITSELF AFTER A TURN. IT WAS NOT CONSISTENT. AT TIMES THE STEERING WAS NORMAL, BUT ANOTHER 1/4 TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. A POORLY DESIGNED PART ALLOWED THE UNIVERSAL JOINT TO FAIL.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON 1/2/18 I WAS DRIVING INTO A PARKING LOT GOING SLOW GETTING READY TO PUT MY TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO BACK UP INTO A SPOT WHEN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION TOOK PLACE. MY TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING FORWARD WITH MY RIGHT FOOT PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE BRAKE MY TRUCK CONTINUED TO REV UP AND JUMP FORWARD WITH TIRES RUBBER BURNING DUE TO ME HAVING MY FOOT ON BREAK TRYING TO STOP THE TRUCK. I MISSED HITTING A CAR BARELY AND STILL NOT SURE HOW I MISSED IT. MY FOOT WAS CLEARLY ON THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME AND FINALLY I PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK AND THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP, SINCE I WAS NOT GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY. I REPORTED TO TOYOTA AND GOT NO WHERE. I HAVE NO FLOOR MAT IN MY TRUCK SO CANT BLAME IT ON FLOOR MAT. THEY ARE CLAIMING IT WAS MISAPPLICATION OF PEDAL. THIS IS A TOTAL LIE. I WOULD OF HIT THAT CAR HAD MY FOOT BEEN ON WRONG PEDAL. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE SO HARD AND PUTTING IN PARK STOPPED THE TRUCK. AGAIN COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REV AS IF STUCK IN ACCELERATION AND MY TIRES BURNING RUBBER AS I CONTINUED TO ENGAGE BRAKE AND TRUCK WAS JUMPING FORWARD. TOYOTA HAS OPENED A CASE BUT AGAIN REFUSE TO ADMIT TO ANY PROBLEM BLAMING IT ON MISAPPLICATION OF PEDAL. KERRY TOYOTA FLORENCE KY INSISTS THEY DID INSPECTION BUT REFUSE TO SHOW ME ANY RESULTS FROM INSPECTION JUST SAY THEY INSPECTED PEDAL AND FLOOR MAT, WHICH THERE IS NO FLOOR MAT. I AM NOT CONVINCED THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT. TOYOTA CORPORATION AGAIN AWARE OF OTHER CASES BUT STILL REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM. I AM SCARED NOW DRIVING WONDERING WHEN OR IF WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.
