CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH AT INDOOR PARKING GARAGE. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL WHEN CAR ACCELERATED SUDDENLY. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND WAS ABLE TO STOP CAR BEFORE IMPACT WITH SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES.

WHILED I WAS DRIVING I WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE FAN ON MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP TO BE CHECKED. THIS I WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THE FRAME ON MY 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA WAS CRACKED AND CAVING IN WHERE THE MOTOR MOUNTS ATTACH TO THE FRAME. THIS CAUSED THE MOTOR TO DROP DOWN AND THE FAN STARTED HITTING ON THE SHROUD. ALSO IT PIERCED A HOLE IN MY UPPER OIL PAN WHEN THE MOTOR DROPPED DOWN AND HIT THE RACK AND PINION. UPON RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY MANY CASES OF THIS HAPPENING TO THE 2005 -2006 TACOMA TRUCKS. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX.

I DO NOT THINK YOU ARE TAKING THE ROTTED FRAME ISSUE ON THE TACOMA SERIOUSLY I HAVE READ THE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS ALL STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THE SAME LACK OF RESPECT FROM TOYOTA ABOUT DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE CREATED. I"M STARTING TO THINK THIS NHTSA IS A PUPPET AGENCY FOR THE MANUFACTURERS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE FRAMS ARE NOT FIXED. WHAT WILL THE NHTSA SAY THEN.SORRY WE SHOULD HAVE ACTED SOONER! ALOT OF COMFORT THAT WILL BE.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT RUSTING OF MY FRAME. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA ABOUT IT WITH LITTLE SATISFACTION. I ALSO WAITING EXCESSIVELY ABOUT REAR LEAF SPRINGS RECALL NOTICES. REMEDY TAKING TOO LONG. I ALSO ISSUES WITH TSB BUT TOYOTA PLACING BURDEN ON OWNER, NOT COMPANY.

NH STATE INSPECTION FAILED MY 2006 TACOMA DUE TO HOLES IN THE FRAME I CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME ITS MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS SINCE THE SPRAYED THE FRAME PREVIOUSLY. WELL THE SPRAY DID NOT WORK AND THE FRAME STILL ROTTED SO WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING FORCE TO FIX THE FAULTY FRAME THAT THEY KNEW WAS A PROBLEM SINCE THEY HAVE HAD THIS COME UP IN THE PAST. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY YOUR AGENTS.

REPLACED REAR LEAF SPRING AS IT WAS BROKEN AND STICKING OUT SIDE OF RETAINER. I PAID FOR THIS. RECEIVED A TOYOTA RECALL OF DEFECTIVE REAR SPRING NOTICE ON AUGUST 2014. HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE FOR SPRING REPLACEMENT. ANOTHER SPRING PROBLEM WITH RETAINER CLIP BROKEN IN 2015. DURAND TOYOTA SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLACE SPRINGS UNTIL I RECEIVED SECOND NOTICE BUT WOULD HAVE TO WELD SPRING IN PLACE UNTI SECOND NOTICE IS RECEIVED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I REQUEST IT BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY TOYOTA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS CORRODED.

IN BOTH INSTANCES I NOTED AN ABNORMAL LOW PITCHED RUMBLING SOUND COMING FROM THE WHEELS AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE. THE NEED TO REPLACE THREE BEARINGS ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES IS CLEARLY ABNORMAL AND SUGGEST A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. NO UNUSUAL LOADS OR ROAD TRAVEL WAS UNDERTAKEN BY THIS VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR FRAME RUST WHICH I RESPONDED TO ON JULY 11, 2014. THEY TREATED MY TRUCK FRAME WITH A CHEMICAL AND UNDER COATING SAYING THERE WAS NO RUST THROUGH AND MY FRAME WOULD NOT BE REPLACED. SIX MONTHS LATER I HAVE RUST THROUGH ON THE FRAME AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANY FURTHER REPAIRS ON IT. I FEEL THEY JUST COVERED UP THE RUST PROBLEM SO I WOULDN'T SEE IT AND NOW ITS A PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

TOYOTA ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL ON FRAME RUST ISSUES, AND APPLIED MY VEHICLE WITH A CORROSION PROTECTIVE COMPOUND IN OCT 2014 (DEALER IN BUFFALO NY). IN JUNE 2015, I NOTICED INCREASING RUST AREAS ON MY SUSPENSION MOUNTING POINTS, FRAME MEMBERS AND OTHER AREAS. WENT BACK TO THE DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALER (IN KENTUCKY) AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FRAME WAS NOT CLEANED CORRECTLY WHEN UNDERCOATED. TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER SAID THEIR OBLIGATION WAS ONLY TO COAT THE FRAME AND NOT NECESSARILY DO IT CORRECTLY. THE COATING IS A ONE TIME SERVICE AND IS TO PREVENT RUSTING. THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH SUPPORTING DATA ON THEIR CLAIM THAT THE COATING PREVENTS RUSTING. THEY HAVE TAKEN A PERFECTLY FINE FRAME AND MADE IT RUST NOW, AND UNSAFE TO USE

GOT RECALL NOTICE IN DECEMBER OF 2014 FOR DEFECTIVE REAR LEAF SPRINGS. ALSO GOT NOTICE IN DECEMBER OF 2014 OF SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO FIX CORROSION ON FRAME OF VEHICLE. CALLED DEALER WAS TOLD TO COME IN FOR INSPECTION. DEALER DETERMINED THAT MY FRAME WAS IN VERY BAD CONDITION CORROSION AND RUST AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE FRAME REPLACED. SAID THEY WOULD FIX AND REPLACE THE REAR LEAF SRINGS AT THE SAME TIME THEY REPLACE FRAME THIS INSPECTION TOOK PLACE ON WED JANUARY 14TH 2015.MY TRUCK HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE ITS A 2006 AND I HAVE ONLY 60,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER WAITING MONTHS TO HEAR FROM DEALER I CALLED TOYOTA, THEY TOLD ME IN APRIL THAT THEY WER STILL WAITING FOR PARTS. I FILED A CASE NUMBER WITH TOYOTA, CALLED THEM BACK ON JUNE 15TH 2015 AFTER HEARING NOTHING FROM THEM. NOW ON JUNE 15TH 2015 THEY TELL ME THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR PARTS. MEANWHILE THE SAFETY RECALL SAYS THAT THE REAR LEAF SPRING COULD SNAP AND RUPTURE MY GAS TANK. I NEED HELP WITH THIS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V604000 (SUSPENSION) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WITH OUT WARNING, MY STEERING GOT VERY STIFF AND THE WHEELS WOULD NOT RETURN TO CENTER AUTOMATICALLY. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND THAT IT COULD BE THE U-JOINT ON THE LOWER STEERING SHAFT. I SPRAYED LUBRICANT ON THE U-JOINT AND THIS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THE BINDING RETURNS EVERY WEEK OR SO. THE U-JOINT IS NOT PROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS ALLOWING ROAD GRIME, SALT AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS TO GET INTO THE U-JOINT. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALER THEY STATED TO KEEP LUBING IT UNTIL IT STOPS WORKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE DANGEROUS AND I WILL BE WORKING TO REPLACE IT. I AM SEEING THAT THE COST IS ~ $350 TO HAVE A DEALERSHIP PERFORM THE REPAIR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND MANY TACOMA OWNERS OF THE 2005 TO AT LEAST THE 2012 MODEL ARE INDICATING HAVING THIS ISSUE AT DIFFERENT MILEAGE.

FRAME RUST DEEMED SO BAD BY TOYOTA TECH THAT HE REFUSED TO PUT THE TRUCK ON A RACK FOR INSPECTION AND SERVICE. *TR

I TOOK MY TOYOTA TACOMA 4X4 TO RICE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO CHECK VEHICLE FRAME AND LEAF SPRINGS BECAUSE OF A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS THEN CONTACTED AND TOLD MY VEHICLE HAD SEVERE AMOUNT NON STANDARD RUST BUT PASSED THE TOYOTA ASSESSMENT FOR REPLACEMENT. UPON ARRIVAL TO MY HOUSE, I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE MYSELF AND FOUND IT TO HAVE AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON THE FRAME. I THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH RICE AND HAD THEM DO A FOLLOW UP INSPECTION ON THE FRAME AT THEIR COLLISION CENTER. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THEY HAD TAKEN PICTURES OF THE FRAME AND THAT THEIR WERE HIGH QUANTITIES OF RUST AND CORROSION THAT WERE WAY ABOVE THE NORMAL EXPECTATION OF WEAR FOR THE VEHICLES MILEAGE AND AGE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FRAMES OF THESE VEHICLES WOULD MOST LIKELY RUST THROUGH IN A FEW YEARS AND BE A HAZARD. I THEN CONTACTED THE WARRANTY PERSONNEL AT TOYOTA. I SPOKE WITH TWO INDIVIDUALS AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD NO RECOURSE FOR ANY REPAIR AND THAT I WAS JUST OUT OF LUCK EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS PART OF A RECALL FOR LEAF SPRINGS AND CORROSION OF THE FRAME. NOT SURE HOW TO FOLLOW UP BUT I DO KNOW THAT THIS MODEL AND YEAR IS SUBJECT TO EXTREME FRAME RUST LEADING TO LEAF SPRING COLLAPSE WHICH POSES A RISK TO THE DRIVER. SEEMS THAT A FRAME THAT IS CLEARLY ADMITTEDLY DOCUMENTED AS SUB PAR SHOULD BE REMEDIED PRIOR TO POTENTIAL INCIDENT. *TR

AFTER RELOCATING TO DALY CITY, CA. 94015 ( PACIFIC COAST AREA ) ABOUT A 1.5 YEAR AGO. I NOTICED THE FRAME OF MY 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA STARTED TO EXHIBIT SOME CORROSION THROUGHOUT. UPON SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, TOYOTA HAS INITIATED A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN "E0D" IN THE FOLLOWING STATES: CT DE IL IN KY MA MD ME MI MN NH NJ NY OH PA RI VA VT WI WV & D.C. TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. FOR 05-08 TACOMA VEHICLES OPERATED IN SPECIFIC COLD CLIMATE AREAS WITH HIGH ROAD SALT USE, MAY EXHIBIT MORE THAN NORMAL CORROSION TO THE FRAME. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WILL INSPECT THE FRAME. IF SIGNIFICANT RUST PERFORATION IS NOT FOUND*, CORROSION-RESISTANT COMPOUNDS (CRC) WILL BE APPLIED TO KEY AREAS OF THE FRAME. IF AN AUTHORIZED DEALER CONFIRMS THE FRAME HAS SIGNIFICANT RUST PERFORATION*, AN APPROPRIATE REMEDY WILL BE PROVIDED. THE PROBLEM IS QUESTION HERE SHOULDN'T ONLY BE ADDRESSED TO VEHICLES LOCATED IN THE STATES ABOVE, BUT A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD APPLY TO ALL 2005-2008 MODELS AFFECTED NATIONWIDE. PACIFIC COAST AREAS MAY NOT EXPERIENCE HIGH ROAD SALT USAGE, BUT THERE ARE OTHER CLIMATE ELEMENTS LIKE SALT MOISTURE FROM THE PACIFIC OCEAN THAT CAN ALSO ACCELERATE CORROSION IN METAL FRAMES IF IT'S NOT WELL DESIGNED OR COATED. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS THE CORE OF THE VEHICLE FRAME AND ITS INTEGRITY DURING NORMAL OPERATION AND IN AN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. IF TOYOTA BELIEVES THEIR 05-08 TACOMA MODELS ARE HAVING CORROSION ISSUES IN THE ABOVE STATES, WHY IT'S NOT A PROBLEM FOR THOSE LIVING CLOSE TO COASTAL AREAS WITH
