Sun visor is defected. it's not working properly. it goes down when it goes in the up position.
Airbags did not deploy in a highway accident that led to a rollover and severe bodily injuries.
A recall on the frame, their inspection was visual and tap with a hammer. it looks like it's fifty years old, it so rusty i'm scared of it. the resale value has suffered due to the oversight of toyota. i would like a new frame.
Frame rusting premature, this truck has never seen salt in the winter.
Toyota tacoma rear suspension leaf springs. i received a recall notice from toyota and went to a dealership on may,16, 2016 and was told i my leaf springs required replacement, but the parts were on back order. i called one month later and was told the parts were on back order. i contacted toyota and was told "there is no eta." repeatedly. i have received e-mails from toyota to repeat this phone call and was told 'there is no eta." last week i was told in an e-mail to contact my dealership. they have no idea when the parts are due because " they are on back order". toyota has told me that the rear suspension on my truck requires replacement. after 7 weeks , and repeated phone calls and e-mails, i have received no information regarding when they will be replaced.
I have a 2008 tacoma which had a recall for vehicles in snow and icy weather then frame may need to be treated and sprayed with anti-rust solution. i was told that when the items came in for the job i would receive a call ti set up an appointment but i never go a call. a couple of months past and i went to the dealership and the lady in the service department at greens toyota in lexington ky told me the material for the job were on back order. i waited a couple of months more and i went back to greens toyota and was told that the recall was expired and there was nothing they could do. i asked to speak to a service manager and he told me that the material for the job were never on back order and he didn't know why i was told that. he also said that he was sorry but there was nothing he could. i think it is sad that i was lied to about this matter which caused me to miss out on this recall from a manufacture that considers themselves tops in the buisness. to just flat ...
I have 3 active recalls on this vehicle and toyota seems unable to supply the parts to fix it. the recalls are for "drive and front passenger seat belt assemblies", "rear leaf spring" and "corrosion-resistant compound application to the vehicle frame". for the seat belt problem, i have made appointments with 2 different toyota dealers within the last year, have driven 60 miles each way to have it done and have been told when i got there that the parts were on "national backorder". i have also been told by both dealers as well as a toyota representative that there are no replacement parts for the "leaf spring" problem and that they didn't know when where would be any. as for the last issue, toyota has put a deadline of 3/31/16 on the recall and based on my experience with toyota dealers, i doubt that i can find one in my state that will do the work before the deadline. i have already expressed my frustration with both the last dealer and with the toyota representative. regards, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 ...
While stopped yesterday waiting on an automatic gate to open. truck was in drive, foot on the brake as normal. without moving, truck accelerated on its on lunging forward, back tires screeching as i applied more pressure to the brake. had enough sense to throw into neutral to make it stop. engine continued to rev even after putting it in neutral but quickly returned back to normal. fortunately, i didn't run into the gate but would have had i not of put it in neutral. i have contacted my local toyota dealership which are suppose to look at it tomorrow. i was told they would bring in a representative from toyota to assess the situation.
Tacoma leaf springs broken and not supporting vehicle. damaged and replaced shocks and alignment. vehicle is unsafe due to recall and possible puncture of fuel tank due to defective leaf springs and can also sever the brake lines. toyota is aware of voluntary recall but has refused to replace leaf springs even after admitting that the vehicle is not supported as required by leaf springs and that the shocks were overused to the point of failure and were replaced due to the lack of support. new shocks and everything except leaf springs installed yet tacoma still bottoms out due to lack of proper leaf springs even with new equipment installed. toyota customer assistance center notified and refused first request and second filed on 8/4/2015 with case number 1508031434 assigned. level two agent peter again refused to replace know defective parts or honor recall after being informed that parts were available at both riverview toyota. and earnhardt toyota, both in mesa arizona. both dealerships informed me that they are directed by the corporate customer assistance center to not replace any recall items without first getting approval regardless of the known dangers to both person and property, or that the part is ...
My tacoma was in the shop for the limited frame undercoating spray back in november 2014, then was rusting through the spray and resprayed in july 2015, now is rusting through yet again. toyota corporate doesn't want to do anything about it and told me to work with the dealer.
Sudden acceleration(engine surge) while waiting (foot on brake) to enter traffic lane; immediately put gear in neutral and turned engine off.
First noticed the steering "tightness" shortly after the undercoating recall. very sporadic in this particular case so i thought it may be a particular stretch of road i repeatedly commute on. not the case. looks like another watergate. first a recall for a cord running through the steering column, the a rusted frame recall. fess up toyota, you manufactured another sub par vehicle, great engineering. hopefully someone will listen to the consumer before this problem causes any tragedies. this truck is now 8 years old with 70000 miles and in great shape except for maunfacturing defects not sure if this case is the steering colums seperation from the dashboard (steering column recall???) or the exposed steering shaft rusting and binding up (rustproofing recall???) or the power steering rack and pinion being rotted out i will call my toyota dealer and see what the repair is and the cost of the repair following that i will forward this to the attorney general, better business bureau, and my local goverment officials
Frame rust. there was a inspection period for rusted frames on this vehicle (and others), i missed the inspection period and am fearful that my truck is potentially dangerous. i think this inspection time period and work should be expanded to protect current owners and others on the roads. toyota states it is out of their hands and they can do nothing for me, regardless of the safety issue. please help expand this into a recall or expand the inspection and correction period. note: actual date of inspection or inspection notice is unknown
We own a 2008 toyota tacoma. it was brought to our attention late october 2014, that one of the leaf springs was broken on the vehicle. upon further inspection, it was determined that both leaf springs were broken. fitzgerald toyota - where we purchased the vehicle, said that the leaf springs were being 'recalled'. we received our notice of a recall from toyota mid to late november 2014. i have called fitzgerald toyota several times, and also have been on the phone with personnel from toyota in the state of california, informing them of our situation - being both leaf springs broken/not functional. in february of 2015, i talked with the california office of toyota asking when the leaf springs would be available, as we are fearful of it doing more damage to the vehicle. they told me that they were working diligently to fix them problem, however, to date - april 2015...no leaf springs are available. california called fitzgerald toyota to have them do a short term remedy by placing an 'old set' of leaf springs on the truck, and when the remedied springs were available, they could be replaced. ...
I noticed excessive rust forming in inner wheel housing near bolts holding wheel springs. looking further showed excessive rust forming on other sheet metal which was protected from the weather. i did nothing until i received the recall about rust problems on the truck frame. when i spoke to toyota about the sheet metal rust, they refused to consider it saying the recall only covered the frame. a call to national toyota customer service got the same response. i believe that toyota's problem with applying rust prevention is more extensive than just the frame and affects nearly all of the sheet metal on the truck. failure to address this sheet metal rust could lead to potential handling and steering problems should the rusted areas breakaway. *tr
