SQUEAKY REAR SPRINGS

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A HIGHWAY ACCIDENT THAT LED TO A ROLLOVER AND SEVERE BODILY INJURIES.

WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE ON MY PROPERTY IN 4WD THE TRANSFER CASE BECAME STUCK IN 4WD. IT STILL IS STUCK IN 4WD AND WON'T RETURN TO 2WD AS IT SHOULD. I'VE BEEN FORCED TO REMOVE THE FRONT DRIVESHAFT (NO EASY TASK) TO PREVENT UNNECESSARY WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER READING NUMEROUS FORUMS RELATING TO THIS SUBJECT I'VE DETERMINED THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MODEL TRANSFER CASE.

I HAVEN'T BEEN CONTACTED FROM THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM ABOUT ANY RECALLS... I NEED TO GET THE 3 RECALLS DONE ON MY TRUCK ASAP

THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT U JOINT SEIZES UP OR IS VERY HARD TO TURN AND WILL NOT LET THE STEERING RETURN TO STRAIGHT POSITION. U JOINT IS NOT COVERED AND EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS THEREFORE LETTING IT RUST AND CORODE. HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A FATAL ACCIDENT WITH MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE TRUCK. EVERY TOYOTA OWNER I KNOW AND HAVE TALKED TO HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V604000 (SUSPENSION). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SERVCO AUTO KAUAI (2477 ULU MAIKA ST, LIHUE, HI 96766, 877-689-1808) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DISQUALIFIED THE VEHICLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR DUE TO AN AFTERMARKET LEVELING KIT BEING INSTALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND THERE WERE HOLES UNDERNEATH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING IS FROZEN MEANING I LOSE ALL MY STEERING. IT LOCKS UP WHEN STEERING LEFT OR RIGHT.

HARD STEERING. AT LOW SPEEDS AND NOT MOVING

VEHICLE STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY. TIRES ARE THE SAME SPECS AS ORIGINAL TIRES. WHEN TIRES ARE INFLATED TO RECOMMENDED PRESSURE (DOOR PLACARD) THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. I CONSULTED WITH 3 DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. NO ONE WAS ABLE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. MEANWHILE, OVER INFLATION IS REQUIRED TO KEEP WARNING SYSTEM OFF. WHAT IS THE CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE??? OVER / UNDER INFLATION IS A SAFETY RISK. AN INACCURATE WARNING SYSTEM IS ALSO A SAFETY RISK.

THE AIRBAG/ SEATBELT SIGNAL SHOWS UP IN DASHBOARD . OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG. IT COMES ON APON STARTING AND STAYS ON. THEN AFTER TURNING OFF THEN BACK ON ITS NOT SHOWING. WHAT GIVES ?

IT SUDDENLY BECAME HARD TO STEER, IT WOULD TURN EASILY (NORMAL EFFORT) PART OF THE WAY, AND FEEL STIFF OR TIGHT PART OF THE WAY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED OFF INTERMITTENTLY BUT THEN BECAME CONSTANT. NOT ONLY WAS IT RISKY MAKING A TURN BECAUSE AT FIRST YOU APPLIED MORE FORCE THAN NORMAL AND SUDDENLY IT BECAME EASIER TO TURN CAUSING OVERSTEER. IT DID NOT WANT TO SEEM TO RETURN TO STRAIGHT WHEN YOU FINISHED THE TURN. THIS PROBLEM WAS THERE WHETHER YOU WENT FAST OR SLOW AND ON ALL SURFACES. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. WE PAID NEARLY $500 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT PROBABLY SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE BAD.

STIFF STEERING WHEN DRIVING AT A LOWER SPEED AND WORSE MAKING A U TURN OR ANY SHARP TURN. THE STEER DOESN'T ROLL BACK AS NORMALLY WHEN I MAKE A U TURN AND I HAD TO BE QUICK TO STEER IN BACK IN TIME TO PREVENT HITTING THE MEDIAN. THE STEER LITERALLY GET STUCK . I HAVE CHANGED THE STEERING PUMP AND HAVE ALSO CHANGED THE RACK AND PINION BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE .WASTED OVER A THOUSAND DOLLAR ON PARTS AND LABOR.

STEARING GOT STIFF DUE TO STEALING SHAFT LINKAGE. MANY INTERNET STORES ABOUT THIS . THIS TRUCK EVEN THOUGH 10 YEARS OLD ONLY HAS 140,000 MILES ON IT. THE U JOINT OF THE PART HAS RUSTED BADLY. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN.

STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN I LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. TOOK VEHICLE TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT. THEY FOUND THAT THE JOINT ON THE LOWER PART OF THE STEERING SHAFT WAS WORN. THEY RECOGNIZED THIS SAME PREMATURE PART FAILURE ON MANY OTHER 2ND GENERATION TACOMAS SUCH AS MINE. THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

PROBLEM WITH HARD STEERING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BECOME EXTREMELY TIGHT WHILE TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE (ROCKINGHAM TOYOTA, 412 S BROADWAY, SALEM, NH 03079, (603) 893-3525). THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM A MANUFACTURER RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ..UPDATED 08/31/17 *BF *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING FELT LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING LINKAGE FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO INSTALL A PROTECTIVE BOOTH OVER THE STEERING LINKAGE, WHICH CAUSED DIRT AND DUST TO ENTER THE STEERING ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. ..UPDATED 08/31/17 *BF THE CONSUMER WAS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS. *JS

I NOTICED THE STEERING BECAME INTERMITTENTLY STIFF, BECOMING MORE SO ABOUT A WEEK AGO. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN ALL CONDITIONS (SLOW SPEED, HIGHWAY SPEED, DRY WEATHER, WET ROADS ETC) POWER STEERING FLUID WAS FULL, PUMP WAS FINE. MY GARAGE DETERMINED THAT THE U JOINT ON THE STEERING SHAFT WAS STUCK AND THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE STEERING SHAFT. THIS IS A 2 PART SHAFT (WITH U JOINT) THAT IS ONLY AVAILABLE FROM TOYOTA. IT'S COSTING ME $762 TO HAVE THIS REPLACED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IN THE PAST TOYOTA HAS RECALLED THE CAMRY, COROLLA AND RAV4 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I FOLLOW MANY TOYOTA FORUMS AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE IN THE TACOMA (2005-2014 MODELS FROM WHAT I'VE READ). WHY HASN'T TOYOTA RECALLED THE TACOMA AS WELL?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE AT A FUEL STATION ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ONCE THE FUEL GOT NEAR TO THE TOP, IT WOULD LEAK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHERE THE FUEL PIPE CONNECTED TO THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE PIPE THAT CONNECTED TO THE TANK LEAKED AND THE ENTIRE FUEL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

I HAVE OWNED A 08 TACOMA FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW, AND HAVE NOTICED A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE TOYOTA ABS SYSTEM. IF WHEN BRAKING YOU HIT A BUMP, POT HOLE, OBJECT, ETC THE ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO REACT AND INCREASES BRAKING DISTANCE. I LIVE IN LOUISIANA AND OUR ROADS ARE NOT THE BEST. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES THAT I WILL BE BRAKING TO AVOID HITTING SOMETHING/SOMEONE, HIT A BUMP, AND MY BRAKING ACTION IS REDUCED UNTIL THE SYSTEM REGAINS ITSELF. YOU CAN HEAR THE ABS SYSTEM RESPOND EACH TIME THIS OCCURS AND CAN NOTICE THAT YOUR VEHICLE ISN'T STOPPING. LIKE I STATED BEFORE I'VE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 4 YEARS AND HAVE NOTICED THIS THE ENTIRE TIME. I RECENTLY HAVE HAD A FEW TIMES TO WHERE THE TRUCK HAS NOT WANTED TO STOP AND I HAVE ALMOST HIT SOMEONE BECAUSE I STARTED BRAKING, HIT A BUMP, AND THE SYSTEM DID NOT KNOW HOW TO REACT. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT I WOULD LIKE FIXED. I'M A LOYAL TOYOTA OWNER (HAVE 4) AND JUST WANT THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BRAKING AND HITTING BUMPS. MY VEHICLE WAS CHECKED OUT MY TOYOTA AND EVERYTHING WAS GOOD WITH THEM. I CONTACT TOYOTA ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY STATED THAT IF THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE'S NO PROBLEM, THEN THERE'S NO PROBLEM, BUT I COULD HAVE PROBLEM FIXED AND THEY MAY REIMBURSE ME IN THE FUTURE. I'VE SPOKEN WITH OTHER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH SIMILAR YEARS AND MODELS INCLUDING 4RUNNER. THE ABS SYSTEM DOESN'T REACT LIKE I FEEL IT SHOULD WHEN THE TIRE'S DYNA

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.

IN THE LAST WEEK, I'VE HAD A HARD TIME STEERING, ESPECIALLY TIGHT TURNS. WENT TO DEALERSHIP TODAY AND WAS TOLD THE U JOINT ON THE MAIN STEERING SHAFT IS SEIZING UP. THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF THESE ISSUES LATELY. THE SERVICE AGENT SHOWED ME A DAMAGED ONE SITTING BEHIND HIS DESK. COST TO REPLACE IS $621. WENT ON TACOMA WORLD AND A LOT OF OWNERS COMPLAINING THE SAME THING.

HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY INNER LENS DISTORTION. TOYOTA NEVER SENT ME THE EXTENSION OF WARRANTY NOTICE FOR THIS DEFECT, MY DEALERSHIP DID NOT MENTION IT TO ME AND NOW NEITHER WILL COVER THIS OBVIOUS AND RECOGNIZED SAFETY DEFECT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE 2010 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 8000 MILES ON IT.

I NOTICED THE TRUCK WAS NOT HANDLING RIGHT (STEERING). IT GOT TO THE POINT THE STEERING WAS LOCKING UP AND I HAD TO MANUALLY RETURN THE WHEEL IN ORDER TO STEER THE TRUCK. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I WENT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THIS IS COMMON . TOYOTA ISSUED A S.B. FOR A STEERING RATTLE UNDER A 3 YR PROGRAM. THIS IS NOT A RATTLE ITS MUCH WORSE AND AS STATED ITS DANGEROUS. I INSPECTED THE STEERING KNUCKLE AND IT WAS SEIZING UP. THE COST TO REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $750 DOLLARS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ALLOWING UNSAFE VEHICLES TO KNOWINGLY OPERATE WITH THIS DESIGN FLAW. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE STATIONARY, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE SUBFRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND CORRODED.

POWER STEERING IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. I CHECKED A TOYOTA FORUM AND THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON. THE PROBLEM IS THE LOWER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT IS EXPOSED TO ROAD SALT AND SPRAY AND SEIZES UP. SO AT TIMES THE STEERING IS TOUGH THEN IT EASES UP AND DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER AFTER A TURN. LIKE I SAID THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WELL KNOWN TO THE FORUM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM! 77,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK.

I HAVE NOTICED THE STEERING IS STIFF WHEN DRIVING. IT WILL BE FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, DURING A TURN IT WILL SEEM TO STICK. THIS HAS CAUSED CONCERN WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY COULD RESULT IN OVERCOMPENSATION AND LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTICED BY SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT #2. THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT PART THAT WILL NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE.

STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT FAILING BEEN A PROBLEM FOR TOYOTA FOR YEARS YET NO RECALL THIS IS A VERY BAD PROBLEM FOR IT IS DIFFACULT TO STEER AND STEERING WILL DOESN'T RESPOND TO COME BACK TO WERE IT SHOULD BE AFTER TURNING VERY DANGERIOUS SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED FROM THIS PROBLEM

PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN AVAILABLE FOR 6 MONTHS.

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

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, TURN, ON THE FREEWAY OR A NORMAL ROAD MY THROTTLE WILL GIVE OUT FOR .5-4 SECONDS. A FAILED THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY IS TO BLAME AND I'VE BEEN HEARING OF MORE AND MORE TACOMAS WITH IT. I'M WORRIED THAT ONE DAY I'LL BE TURNING AND WILL GET INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THEN WILL GET SLAMMED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC

"TAKATA RECALL" HIT A GUARD RAIL ON INTERSTATE 40 IN ICE AND SNOW, AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I RECEIVED A LACERATION TO LEFT EYE AND EYELID, TOTAL OF MED BILLS INCLUDING LIFEGARD AIR TRANSPORT AND EMERGENCY/TRIAGE ETC OVER $25,000 AND CLIMBING.

POSSIBLE RUST CORROSION ON FRAME OF VEHICLE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN A TACOMA TRUCK, 2000 MODEL YEAR. I WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT THIS ISSUE DOES NOT AFFECT THE 2008 TACOMA I PURCHASED TO REPLACE THE OLDER VEHICLE.I STILL OWN THE 2008 TACOMA. I AM NOTICING A HUM IN THE FRONT END OF THIS VEHICLE.

EXPERIENCING STIFF STEERING. TURNED ON A HIGHWAY AND HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE TRUCK STRAIGHTENED BACK OUT, ALMOST WENT INTO ONCOMING LANE.

THE PAD ASSY STEERING PART# 45130-04091-BO. EVIDENTLY THE PLASTIC CONTACTS ATTACHED TO THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY BROKE OFF AND MY HORN WAS INOPERABLE WHEN ANOTHER CAR DRIFTED INTO MY LANE. HORN DIDN'T WORK. ALMOST CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT. IT WORKED SPORADICALLY FOR MONTHS, THEN ANOTHER INCIDENT AGAIN WHEN DRIVER WAS TEXTING ON HIS PHONE AND DRIFTED AGAIN IN TRAFFIC. I CHECKED WITH TOYOTA SERVICE, THEY ALL KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG PAD ASSEMBLEY. I HARDLY USE MY HORN, ONLY WHEN NECESSARY, NO DRIVER OVER ABUSE HERE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THESE CONTACT POINTS BREAK OFF IN THE COLD WEATHER. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I AM CONCERN THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT REPORT OR ARE DRIVING WITH NO HORN BECAUSE IT'S SO COSTLY TO REPLACE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY. INJURY AND LOSS OF LIFE IS REAL HEAR.

I CALLED TOYOTA IN FEBRUARY 2014 TO COMPLAIN OF ROUGH RIDING TRUCK. WAS TOLD MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOTHING TOYOTA WAS WILLING TO COVER. IN OCTOBER 2014 I CALLED TOYOTA TO REPORT MY LEAF SPRINGS HAD BROKE AND NEEDED REPLACED. WAS TOLD TOYOTA WOULD NOT COVER REPAIRS AND THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. SHORTLY AFTER I MADE THE REPAIR, TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL OF THE LEAF SPRINGS. I HAVE BEEN BATTLING WITH THEM TO BE REIMBUSED SINCE LATE 2014. TODAY WHILE SPEAKING WITH SUPERVISOR ON DUTY AT TOYOTA, LUIS CARRILLO, I WAS INFORMED TOYOTA KNEW OF THE RECALL IN SEPTEMBER 2014, SO WHEN I CALLED IN OCTOBER 2014, TOYOTA FRAUDULENTLY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COSTS AND I WAS RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY, NOBODY DOES THE RIGHT THING UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT MAKES THEM. STILL TODAY TOYOTA WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE LEAF SPRINGS. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO STOP THEM FROM CONTINUING THEIR FRAUDULENT WAYS THAT LEAVES AMERICANS AND THEIR FAMILY IN DANGER?

FRAME LIMITED RECALL THAT EXPIRED MARCH 2016 I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION AND TOYOTA REFUSES REPAIR. MY FAMILY DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE DUE TO RECALL. THERE ARE VISIBLE SIGNS OF CORROSION. RECALL IS RECALL. VISIBLE CORROSION IS ABUNDANT.

FRAME RUSTING PREMATURE, THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER SEEN SALT IN THE WINTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND A HUMMING NOISE WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SUBFRAME EXPERIENCED SEVERE RUSTING AND CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

FIRST LET ME SAY THAT THIS IS MY FIFTH TOYOTA TRUCK, ALL MANUAL TRANSMISSION 4 CYLINDER ENGINES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THIS ONE, WHICH IS 6 CYLINDER (I DON'T HAVE THE OTHER VIN'S WITH ME NOW, BUT COULD DO SOME RESEARCH TO PROVIDE THEM IF NEED BE). A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I NOTICED MY TRUCK'S STEERING BECOMING STIFFER, MAKING STEERING MORE DIFFICULT. I READ UP A BIT ABOUT IT, INSPECTED THE BELT (OK) AND CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID (LOOKED A BIT LOW). I DECIDED A FLUSH AND FILL OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID MIGHT DO THE JOB AND DID SO SATURDAY, 11/19/16. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, I REALLY DIDN'T NOTICE MUCH OF A CHANGE. YESTERDAY, SUNDAY, IT SEEMED MORE NOTICEABLY STIFF. I RESEARCHED MORE AND READ THAT IT MIGHT BE DUE TO A CORRODED SHAFT ' MANY RECOMMENDED GREASE AS A SOLUTION AND OTHER RECOMMENDED A NEW SHAFT. TODAY IT WAS VERY STIFF AND EVEN A BIT WOBBLY ' MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS READING UP ON HOW TO REPAIR THIS AND CAME ACROSS MANY OTHER WHO EXPERIENCED THIS AND SUGGESTED I FILE THIS SO THAT OTHERS MIGHT BE WARNED/PROTECTED. I LOVE MY TRUCK, JUST DON'T LIKE HOW THE CORROSION OF TACOMA'S RUINS EVERYTHING. HOPE THIS CAN BE OF HELP TO SOMEONE.

TOYOTA HAS NOT REIMBURSED ME FOR PAYMENT I MADE TO REPLACE A LEAF (SPRING). THE LEAF BECAME SUBJECT TO A RECALL. I HAVE SENT THEM DOCUMENTATION AND SOMETIMES THEY ASKED ME FOR DOCUMENTATION I HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED. NOW THEY ARE ASKING FOR DOCUMENTATION SHOWING CAUSE AS TO WHY THE LEAF FAILED???? THEY NEVER ASKED FOR SUCH IN THE BEGINNING. I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO WEAR ME OUT. CAN I FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOUR AGENCY? THANK YOU!
