2007 TOYOTA TACOMA
I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA . I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS ABOUT THE FRAME THEY SAID THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND MY TRUCK HAS BEEN 'FIXED' FOR THE FRAME ISSUE, NOW THERE DEFINITION OF FIXED IS A UNDERCOATING THAT HASN'T DONE A SINGLE THING TO PREVENT THE RUST. IT WILL NOT PASS THE VA STATE INSPECTION. I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE FOR SOME BULLSHIT RECALL THAT HAS 'EXPIRED' A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD NOT EXPIRE. IT IS A DANGER TO MY LIFE AND OTHERS. I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS EITHER NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR I NEED TO GET MY MONEY BACK. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE MADE SEVERAL REPORTS IT SHOWS THAT NHTSA IS A JOKE THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER THEN THE MONEY THEY PROFIT. THANKS.

THERE ARE 3 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE IN WHICH I'VE BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO SET UP A DATE IN WHICH I CAN LEAVE MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA STATED THAT I WOULD BE PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE THE WORK IS BEING PERFORMED, SINCE THE RUST TREATMENT WAS GOING TO TAKE 4 DAYS TO DRY. NOW SINCE I'VE REQUESTED A LOANER VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO AVOID MY CALLS OR LET ME SPEAK WITH THE HEAD REPAIR TECHNICIAN. THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE HAS HAD RECALLS FOR SAFETY HAZARDS AND POTENTIAL DEATH WHILE DRIVING.

MY TRUCK GOT TWO RECALLS 1) DUE TO RUSTY FRAME 2) REAR LEAF SPRING AND TOYOTA REPLACED BOTH LAST MARCH 2015. THIS WAS DONE AT METRO TOYOTA IN BROOKPARK ROAD CLEVELAND OHIO. HOWEVER, THE STRAP THAT HOLD THE GASOLINE TANK WERE ALSO RUSTY BUT WAS NOT REPLACED. JUST THIS JUNE 29, 2016, I NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS HANGING UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK'S BED. ONE OF THE STRAP WAS BROKEN AND THE GASOLINE TANK WAS LOOSE AND ALREADY BOUNCING AND ABOUT TO FALL AS THE OTHER STRAP WAS ABOUT TO GIVE WAY TOO. I WAS JUST LUCKY THAT DAY AS I NOTICED IT BEFORE ANY SEVERE ACCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE ON THE ROAD. I JUST DON'T KNOW SINCE WHEN THE STRAP WAS BROKEN BUT NOTICED THE TRUCK REAR BECAME TOO BOUNCY WHILE ON MOTION. I THINK THE STRAP SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACE TOO WHEN TOYOTA REPLACE THE FRAME AND THE REAR LEAF SPRING. NOT REPLACING THE STRAP PUT MY LIFE WAS PLACED MORE IN DANGER AS ANYTIME IF THE TANK FALL OFF, IT WILL CAUSE FIRE AND MIGHT EVEN INVOLVE INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT ARE DRIVING NEXT TO ME. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE A PHOT OF THE BROKEN STRAP BUT I WENT STRAIGHT TO METRO TOYOTA FOR A WALK IN SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN AND CAN DRIVE MY CAR. I DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE BUT TO GET IT FIXED BUT I WAS CHARGED WITH ALL THE COST. I GRATEFUL THAT NOTHING HAPPENED WITH THAT CONDITION BUT NOT HAPPY WITH THE RECALL PROCESS. I WAS TOLD THE STRAP WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. BUT TO ME THAT IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE PRIORITY FOR REPLACEMENT THAN THE REAR LEAF SPRING. LEAF SPRING ARE TOO THICK THAT WON'T GIVE WAY COMPARED TO THE STRAP THE HOLD THE TANK FULL OF GASOLINE. THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY CAUSE FIRE ONCE IT FALL OFF THE ROAD WHILE IN MOTION. I HAVE THE COPY OF THE RECEIPT THAT WILL SERVE AS THE PROOF OF MY COMPLAIN.

RUST PERFORATION OF FRAME. TOYOTA IS AWARE THAT THE FRAMES DID NOT RECEIVE ADEQUATE CORROSION RESISTANT PROTECTION DURING PRODUCTION AND ISSUED A SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO HAVE INSPECTED. TOYOTA IS ONLY REPLACING FRAMES IF THEY EXHIBIT PERFORATION AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION. IF NO PERFORATION, THEY ARE SPRAYING CORROSION RESISTANT COMPOUND WHICH IS NOT ADEQUATE TO REMEDY THE IMPROPER MANUFACTURING OF THE EQUIPMENT. SEE PHOTO OF VEHICLE FRAME ONLY 14 MONTHS AFTER APPLICATION OF CORROSION RESISTANT COMPOUND.

WHEN HEAT CONTROL DIAL IS TURNED FROM COLD TO HOT, AN INSIDE DOOR WITHIN THE HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM CLOSES OFF. THIS KEEPS ANY HOT AIR FROM BLOWING INTO THE CAB AND THROUGH THE DEFROSTER. THIS DECREASED AIR VOLUME FROM HVAC VENTS WILL NOT HEAT THE CAB IN COLD WEATHER AND WILL NOT PROPERLY DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD IN WINTRY CONDITIONS AS NO HOT AIR WILL BLOW. TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN (T-SB-0072-09) COVERS THIS COSTLY REPAIR. THE INABILITY OF THE DEFROSTER TO PROVIDE HOT AIR TO THE WINDSHIELD HAS CAUSED ME TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO INABILITY TO SEE THROUGH IT EITHER FROM INTERNAL CONDENSATION OR FROM ICE BUILDUP DURING TIMES OF PRECIPITATION AND FREEZING CONDITIONS. FURTHER, WITH THE HEATER NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE HOT AIR INTO THE CAB, OCCUPANT SAFETY IS AT RISK IN TIMES OF EXTREME WEATHER DURING BOTH DRIVING AND/OR TIMES THE VEHICLE MIGHT BECOME STRANDED. THIS CONDITION OCCURS IN ALL MODES OF OPERATION, BOTH DRIVING OR IDLING IN PARK. AIR VELOCITY TAPERS OFF AS THE HEAT CONTROL IS INCREASED (TO THE RIGHT) TO THE HIGHER SETTINGS EFFECTIVELY CUTTING OFF HOT AIR FLOW INTO THE CAB. THIS IS BOTH WHEN THE VENTS ARE OPEN AND WHEN IN RECIRCULATION MODE. SEE ATTACHED FILE FOR REFERENCE. PRIMARY SAFETY CONCERN IS VISIBILITY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD DURING INCLIMATE WEATHER AND OCCUPANT SAFETY IN COLDER CONDITIONS. THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE- BUT HAS RECENTLY BECOME A VERY SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO RECENT WEATHER CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES. I CANNOT LOAD THE PDF FILE (T-SB-0072-09) AS IT IS TOO LARGE.

TOYOTA SENT ME A NOTICE LAST YEAR CALLED A "LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN" FOR "CERTAIN 2005 THROUGH 2008 MODEL YEAR TACOMA VEHICLES CORROSION-RESISTANT COMPOUND APPLICATION TO THE VEHICLE'S FRAME". THE NOTICE SAID THAT THESE TACOMAS' FRAMES WERE RUSTING MORE THAN USUAL DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CORROSION PROTECTION. THE CAMPAIGN APPLIED ONLY TO COLD WEATHER STATES LIKE MINNESOTA. IT WENT ON TO SAY THAT I SHOULD BRING MY TACOMA TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND HAVE THE FRAME INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE. JAN. 2015: I BROUGHT MY TACOMA TO MAPLEWOOD TOYOTA IN MINNESOTA. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FRAME WAS INDEED DAMAGED WITH HOLES AND PERFORATIONS ALREADY PRESENT. THEY SAID TOYOTA WOULD REPLACE THE FRAME AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS FOR THE FRAME TO ARRIVE, PLUS TIME TO REPLACE IT. WE WERE GOING TO MOVE TO COLORADO IN THE SPRING SO I DECIDED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE THERE. MAPLEWOOD TOYOTA SAID THAT WAS FINE. WE MOVED TO LOVELAND, COLORADO ON JUNE 19, 2015. I THEN CONTACTED THE TOYOTA NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THEM AND ASKED IF I COULD BRING MY TACOMA TO PEDERSEN TOYOTA IN FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO LOVELAND. THEY SAID OK. THEIR FINDINGS WERE THE SAME: DAMAGED FRAME WITH HOLES AND PERFORATIONS. THEY ALSO SAID THE TRUCK WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME A RENTAL FOR THE 5 MONTHS. BUT THEN THEY SAID THAT WHILE THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE FRAME, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY RUSTED-ON PARTS THEY WOULD BREAK, AND I SHOULD EXPECT TO PAY 2 TO 3 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THAT! I CALLED THE NATIONAL TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. THEY ALSO SAID TOYOTA IS NOT ADMITTING TO DEFECTIVE CORROSION PROTECTION, AND THAT IT ISN'T A RECALL. I TOLD THEM IT WASN'T RIGHT TO MAKE ME PAY FOR PARTS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME THAT THEY BREAK BECAUSE THEY DID A DEFECTIVE JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO! PLEASE HELP ME.

MY SON AND I WERE GOING TO THE COURTHOUSE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COMPONENT TO BLAME THE PROBLEM ON, SO I WILL JUST DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED. MY SON WAS A WITNESS TO THE INCIDENT: I WAS TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS STILL PRESSING ON THE BRAKE AS I PUT THE GEAR IN R. WHEN I DID THIS, I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD WHIR FROM THE REAR WHEELS. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY TRUCK IN NEUTRAL. MY TRUCK WAS STILL NOT PROPERLY ALIGNED IN THE PARKING SPOT: THERE WAS A CAR PARKED ON THE LEFT THAT COULD HIT ME. I PUT THE CAR IN D. THEN I AGAIN HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD WHIR FROM THE REAR WHEELS, SO I PRESSED DOWN COMPLETELY ON THE BRAKE, BUT MY TRUCK STILL MOVED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. MY TRUCK KEPT PUSHING INTO THAT CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME, SO I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY TRUCK INTO PARKING GEAR AND THIS STOPPED MY TRUCK. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THE DEALER BLAMED THE PROBLEM ON THE FLOORMAT. THE DEALER MADE THE PROCESS OF INVESTIGATING THE CASE AND GETTING A SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION TOO BUREAUCRATIC, SO I JUST GAVE UP AND DID NOT PURSUE THE MATTER SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CASE # IS AT THE DEALERSHIP. AN EXAMPLE OF THE BUREAUCRATIC HEADACHE: I WANTED TO DO A TRADE, BUT IF I DID THAT, I HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $7,000, AND I DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THERE WAS ANOTHER WITNESS IDENTIFIED IN THE POLICE REPORT. ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT, THIS "WITNESS #1 ADVISED THAT HE CAME TO HIS VEHICLE AND ADJUSTED WHERE HE PARKED. HE ADVISED THAT AS HE WAS GETTING OUT, HE OBSERVED VEHICLE #1'S [MY VEHICLE] TIRES BEGAN TO SPIN. HE JUMPED BACK INTO HIS VEHICLE AND OBSERVED IT [MY VEHICLE] CRASH INTO THE CURB AND VEHICLE #2." THE POLICE REPORT ENDS WITH: "THERE WERE LEAVES ON THE GROUND AROUND WHERE THE CRASH OCCURRED."
