PURCHASE NEW A 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA FROM TOYOTA OF SCRANTON-VEHICLE FINAL PAYMENT FOR OUR TRUCK WAS OCT 2012. THE TRUCK HAS NOT MISSED AN APPOINTMENT AT TOYOTA OF SCRANTON (THEY ALWAYS MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE). WE TOOK THE TRUCK FOR INSPECTION AT TOYOTA OF SCRANTON IN SEPTEMBER (YEARLY INSPECTION) THE TRUCK FAILED INSPECTION WITH REGARDS TO RUST SPOTS AT FRAME OF TRUCK. TOYOTA DID NOT PASS THE TRUCK FOR INSPECTION AND TOLD US TO GO TO A LOCAL WELDING COMPANY AND HAVE IT WELDED "SUPERIOR WELDING CO." I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CORPORATE AND MANUFACTURE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE WORKING ON CASE. I FEAR FOR OTHER MOTORIST WHO MAY HAVE IT WELDED BY OTHERS OR NOT WELDED AND IT BE UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY/ROADS. THE TRUCK WAS AT DEALERSHIP WHEN TOLD OF ISSUE. TOYOTA RECALLED 2008 TRUCKS FOR RUSTED FRAMES (DANA MANUFACTURE) - A TOYOTA TACOMA RUSTED FRAMES LAWSUIT FILED IN ARKANSAS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO 14 PEOPLE + 3 SUPERVISORS, IT IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF A "FIELD TECHNICIAN SPECIALIST". THEY TOLD ME THE DECISION WITH NOW GO OUTSIDE THE REGIONAL OFFICE.

BURNT HEADLIGHT LEN. THE RUNNING LIGHT LENS IS BURNT AND CRACKED DUE TO OVERHEATING. WHEN I TRIED TO CONTACT TOYOTA'S RECALL PHONE NUMBER, AFTER OVER A DOZEN ATTEMPTS, THE NUMBER WAS ALWAYS BUSY.

APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO, I FOUND THAT THE LEAF SPRINGS ON MY 09 TOYOTA TACOMA HAD BROKEN SO I HAD THEM REPLACED. IF MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY I HAD THEM REPLACED A SECOND TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY TOYOTA REGARDING A RECALL ON THE 09 TACOMA LEAF SPRINGS. RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT TOYOTA HAD ANNOUNCED IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THAT THEY WOULD BE SEEKING A SOLUTION AND NOTIFYING OWNERS. HERE IT IS AUGUST 2015 AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION FOR THIS VERY SIMPLE PROBLEM AND I AM IN THE SAME BOAT AS I WAS MONTHS AGO. EACH TIME I CONTACT TOYOTA I AM TOLD THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION ALMOST A YEAR LATER.

VEHICLE STEERING IS UNSAFE, THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES DOESN'T RETURN BACK TO CENTER ON TURNS AND STEERS VERY HARD . WHEN I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THE UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE STEERING SHAFT IS BINDING. THE PART IS CALLED INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT #2. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO UNPREDICTABLE STEERING AND ALSO IF IT FAILS AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

TOYOTA IS NOT ADDRESSING THE TACOMA REAR LEAF SPRING SAFETY RECALL IN A REASONABLE TIME. I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE LEAF SPRING RECALL IN THE FALL OF 2014. IN MARCH OF 2015 I TOOK MY 2009 TACOMA TO THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE EXCESSIVE NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT ONE OF THE LEAF SPRINGS HAD FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PER THE SAFETY RECALL. DEALER ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT SPRINGS BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A TIME WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE SO THE REPAIR COULD BE COMPLETED. AFTER NEARLY A MONTH, STILL WAITING FOR PARTS. CALLS TO BOTH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA CORPORATE TO FIND OUT WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE HAVE BEEN FRUITLESS. BOTH STATE THAT THE REPLACEMENT LEAF SPRINGS ARE UNAVAILABLE AND WILL NOT PROVIDE A DATE WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. GIVEN THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE, I FIND THAT THIS IS LACK OF REPAIR PARTS AND ADDRESSING THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS SUCH AS MYSELF WHO ARE KNOWN TO HAVE FRACTURED LEAF SPRINGS. RECOMMEND THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE WITH TOYOTA AS TO WHY THIS SAFETY RECALL IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN A PROMPT MANNER. *TR

THERE IS AN ISSUE ON DRIVING AMBER SIGNAL LIGHTS LOCATED ON FRONT OF VEHICLE. BULBS ARE TOO HOT, AND HAVE MELTED AND CRACKED THE LENSE COVER ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY. IT IS HAMPERING LIGHT OUT PUT, AND COULD FORM A HOLE IN THE FUTURE WHICH WILL PROVIDE A HIGH BEAM OF LIGHT TO ON COMING TRAFFIC. ALSO, IT COULD IGNITE DUE TO HEAT AND PLASTIC MELTING. REPORTS OF THIS OCCURING ON TOYOTA VEHICLES HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS WITH NO RESOLVE. MIND YOU, THIS IS A ENGINEER OR MANUFACTURING MISHAP AND ERROR AS THEY FAILED TO CONSIDER AT THE MOMENT OF DESIGNING /MANUFACTURING, AND NOW THE RESULTS ARE MORE THAN EVIDENT. OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES ARE NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE WHICH MEANS THAT SOMEONE FIGURED OUT A RESOLVE ON THEIR FUTURE PRODUCTION IN ORDER TO AVOID BAD PUBLICITY. IT IS FAIR TO SAY, THAT TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE SUCH A DEFECT, OR REIMBURSE ITS CUSTOMERS WHO DECIDE TO REPLACE THEM DUE TO SUCH A DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THE VALIDITY OF THIS MANNER!

VEHICLE RECALL NOTIFICATION RECEIVED AS ON DATE ABOVE AND TO DATE TOYOTA HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME OF ANY REMEDY. BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE WAIT TIME FOR TOYOTA TO GET RECALL FIX COMPLETED.

IN SEPTEMBER 2014 A RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED ON MY STYLE 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA PICK UP BECAUSE THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS COULD CORRODE AND BREAK. ON NOVEMBER 14, 2014, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE LETTER FROM TOYOTA THAT MY VEHICLE WAS BEING RECALLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA MANUFACTURING COMPANY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE TOLD "WE ARE WORKING ON IT" (REPLACING THE SPRINGS). THAT IS THE ONLY ANSWER I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. EVEN THEIR WEBSITE STATES "WE ARE WORKING ON IT". I WANT TO KNOW WHEN THESE SPRINGS WILL BE REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE!!!

MY COMPLAINT DOES NOT ACTUALLY INVOLVE TOYOTA BUT IT DOES INVOLVE IN AFTERMARKET PART THAT I INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. I ORDERED A SET OF WEATHERTECH FLOOR LINERS, WHICH IS SUPPOSE TO BE MOLDED FOR YOUR VEHICLE FLOORS. THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THE CLUTCH PETAL WANTS TO CATCH UNDER THE MAT ITSELF. I CAN SHOW A VIDEO IF YOU WOULD LIKE , BUT I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN PROBABLY FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH A LITTLE BIT OF TINKERING, BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TOO. *TR

THIS VEHICLE IS 7 YEARS OLD AND 2 YEARS AGO THE READOUT SCREEN FOR THE COMPASS AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE FAILED!! I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID TOYOTA HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CHIP BOARDS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED! I SPENT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE A VEHICLE WITH THESE FEATURES AND NOW IT'S NOT FUNCTIONING! MAKES ME MAD!! GET THIS COMPONENT UNDER RECALL, IT'S REALLY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE! I WOULD HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT SOONER BUT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 10/10/2014 WHEN I HEARD A WEIRD SOUND FROM UNDER MY VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED UNDER MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED MY REAR LEAVE SPRING WAS SNAPPED IN THE MIDDLE AND AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE. *TR

2009 TOYOTA TACOMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE PASSENGER LEAF SPRING CRACKED. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER DID NOT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE TERMS OF THE RECALL AND ONLY REPLACED THE PASSENGER LEAF SPRING, WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL. SINCE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS NOT REPLACED, IT LEFT THE VEHICLE SITTING IN AN AWKWARD MANNER. THE DEALER CLAIMED THE WOULD REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE LEAF SPRING. HOWEVER, THEY ONLY MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. *JB

SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 TOYOTA MOTORS INFORMED NHTSA OF PLANS TO CONDUCT A VOLUNTARY RECALL OF THE TOYOTA PRE-RUNNER PICKUP TRUCKS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE LEAF SPRING IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD FRACTURE DUE TO CORROSION AND STRESS. I HAVE A LEAF SPRING THAT IS NOT FRACTURED OR CRACKED BUT IS MAKING A LOT OF STRANGE NOISES AND MY MECHANIC SAYS THE LEAF SPRING ON ONE SIDE IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER TWICE AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT CRACKED. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TWICE ALSO AND THEY REFUSE TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE TOYOTA TO DEAL WITH THIS RECALL OR ARE THEY WAITING FOR A FEW PEOPLE TO DIE. WHY CAN'T THEY BE PROACTIVE INSTEAD OF REACTIVE AFTER PEOPLE ARE INJURED.

TOYOTA HAS NOTIFIED ME (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 14V604) ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 AND AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER, 2015 CONCERNING THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF MY TACOMA TOYOTA TRUCK. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS SAFETY RECALL 'FIX' HAS GONE ON MUCH TOO LONG. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER TO SEE ABOUT THIS RECALL BUT THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE NEEDED PARTS FROM TOYOTA. I ALSO CALLED TOYOTA HQ AND THEY TOO DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEAN TIME MY LEAF SPRINGS OCCASIONALLY MAKE NOISES DESCRIBED BY THE DEALER AS A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM. MY QUESTION: WHY IS IT TAKING TOYOTA SO LONG TO REPAIR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SIMPLE PROBLEM? AM I ENDANGERING MY FAMILY AND MYSELF BY CONTINUING TO DRIVE MY 2009 TACOMA?

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: OPENS NEW WINDOW TAKES AWAY FROM VIN LOOKUP SECTION> 14V604 RECALL DATE: SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: E02 THIS RECALL HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 9/2014 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FORCE TOYOTA TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION? SUPPOSEDLY THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION, BUT, WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE WEST AND RELY ON YOUR VEHICLE FOR FIREWOOD GATHERING, ETC... TRAVELING DOWN ROUGH COUNTRY DIRT ROADS, THEN YOU NEED TO BE SURE YOUR VEHICLE IS GOING TO STAND UP TO THE TEST OF LIVING IN THE WEST. ARE YOU AT THE NHTSA GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT FORCING TOYOTA TO TAKE ACTION ON THEIR VEHICLES, OR SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHING? IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS STARTED AND STILL NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. PLEASE RESPOND TO MY QUESTIONS AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU PLAN ON DOING!!!!!! I DID RECEIVE A 2ND NOTICE REGARDING THE RECALL FROM TOYOTA, SAYING THEY WOULD HAVE THE REMEDY IN PLACE IN THE EARLY PART OF 2016, BUT NOW IT IS ALMOST SEPTEMBER (2 YEARS) AND STILL NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS. PLEASE ADVISE!!!!!!
