It's been over a year since i received a recall notice regarding the rear leaf spring. What is taking toyota so long in repairing this problem? I'll be dead before it's fixed. Or is that what they're counting on.

This presents a structural integrity issue in key supporting areas of the frame assembly for major components to include drive train, braking and suspension. The overall crash worthiness is in question due to the structural integrity issue presented by the frame design, metal composition and…

I own a 2005 toyota tacoma access cab. I got a "limited service campaign notice" that my truck might have abnormal rust on the frame. I put it on a lift and behold there was a huge hole in my frame making it not drivable. Apparently toyota is not being up front with its customers and has known about this defect in the 2005-2011 model years. My dealer said a new frame will cost around $14,000 to replace. They said…

I received several recall notices from toyota and took my vehicle to the dealer multiple times, but the repair dept kept informing me that a fix hasn't been finalized yet. Contradicting to to recall notice, they told me this issue was not a "big deal." according to the recall, there is a possibility that a leaf could fracture due to stress and corrosion. And, if this occurs and the vehicle continues to be operated,…
