2008 Toyota Tacoma complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED A FUEL ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS SHIFTED, A BURNING ODOR EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CLUTCH FAILED TO SWITCH GEARS INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATING AS DESIGNED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

IN JUNE OF 2014 I WENT TO GET AN MA STATE SAFETY INSPECTION STICKER AND WAS TOLD AT THE SULLIVAN TIRE AUTO CENTER IN RAYNHAM, MA THAT ONE OF THE LEAF SPRINGS ON MY 2008 TACOMA WAS FRACTURED AND I COULD NOT GET A SAFETY INSPECTION STICKER. I WENT TO COPELAND TOYOTA, IN BROCKTON, MA, (WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE) AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BROKEN SPRING WAS DUE TO OLD AGE. I THEN WENT BACK TO SULLIVAN TIRE AND HAD THEM REPLACE THE LEAF SPRINGS ON MY TRUCK. THEN ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2014, I RECEIVED AN INTERIM RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA SAYING THAT THE LEAF SPRINGS ON MY TRUCK COULD FRACTURE. THE NHTSA REFERENCE ID IS 14V604. WHEN I CALLED COPELAND TOYOTA TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LEAF SPRINGS THEY SAID IT WAS TOYOTA'S PROBLEM. I CALLED TOYOTA IN TORRANCE, CA SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO WAIT FOR A SECOND NOTICE (REMEDY) BEFORE I COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR REIMBURSEMENT. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A SECOND NOTICE (REMEDY) LETTER TO FIND OUT HOW I CAN SUBMIT THE DOCUMENTS I HAVE FOR REIMBURSEMENT (PAID INVOICE FROM SULLIVAN TIRE AND CANCELLED CHECK FROM MY BANK FOR THE WORK THAT WAS DONE). I HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THE SECOND LETTER TO COME AND I THINK 12 MONTHS IS FAR TOO LONG FOR ME TO WAIT TO GET SOME INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA REGARDING HOW I CAN GET REIMBURSED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FRACTURED SPRING. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU! *TR

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. AS A RESULT, THERE WAS A CRACKING SOUND FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE BECAME UNSTABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE LEAF SPRING ON THE REAR PASSENGERS SIDE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE, AND THE LEAF SPRING WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V604000 (SUSPENSION) HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

MARCH 2014:THE REAR SPRING ON THE TOYOTAT TACOMA BROKE. TOYOTA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. I PAID FOR NEW LEAF. AUGUST 2014: THE OTHER SPRING BROKE. AGAIN TOYOTA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. I PAID FOR A NEW LEAF. SEPT 29, 2014: A RECALL NOTICE IS ISSUED FOR REAR LEAF SPRING. SEPT 29 TO DATE: TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM AND AGREES TO REIMBURSE ME FOR MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES AND REPLACE THE SPRINGS. BUT....NO DATE IS AVAILABLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THEY SAY THEY CANNOT PAY ME BACK UNTIL THEY REPLACE THE SPRINGS. TODAY: TOYOTA CORPORATE SAYS THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ON THE AVAILABILITY OF PARTS. NOTHING CAN BE DONE UNTIL THEY ARE GIVEN THE INFORMATION ON THE PARTS. NOW I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE IN THEIR LOGISTICS SYSTEM AN EXACT UNDERSTANDING OF WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THEY ARE DELAYING THIS IN THE HOPE OF CUSTOMERS FORGETTING ABOUT IT AND TO DELAY THE INVESTMENT NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE RECALL. I BELIEVE ACTION BY THE NHSTA IS CALLED FOR BOTH DUE TO THE DELAY AND THE FAILURE TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL INFORMATION.

POWERSTEERING NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHEN MAKING A TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION HAD TO PHYSICALLY TURN STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT RECOVER ON ITS OWN. BROUGHT TRUCK TO TOYOTA DEALER FOR PROBLEM THEY REPLACED THE DRIVE BELT,THINKING IT WAS SLIPPING ON THE POWERSTEERING PUMP. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM,TOOK IT BACK,THE DEALER DECIDED THE POWERSTEERING RACK WAS THE PROBLEM AND COST FOR THE RACK WAS ABOUT $1400.00. I DECIDED TO CHECK INTERNET TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM WAS COMMON. I FOUND IT WAS ,THE UNIVERSAL JOINT ON THE STEERING SHAFT AT THE BLOCK IS NOT PROTECTED FROM WEATHER AND IS PRONE TO RUST IT IS A SEALED JOINT AND CANNOT BE LUBED. I SPRAYED THE UNIVERSAL JOINT WITH RUST BLASTER WHICH LOOSEN THE JOINT UP, I THEN SPRAYED A WATER PROOF SILICONE SPRAY ON IT. WORKS LIKE NEW. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY PROBLEM BUT A FINICAL PROBLEM AND IS AN EASY FIX FOR TOYOTA.

VEHICLE IS UNSAFE DUE TO RECALL AND POSSIBLE PUNCTURE OF FUEL TANK DUE TO DEFECTIVE LEAF SPRINGS AND CAN ALSO SEVER THE BRAKE LINES.

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.

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT A LOAD IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK. I WENT OVER A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD AND WENT TO APPLY THE BREAKS. UPON APPLYING THE BREAKS I HAD NO RESPONSE FROM THEM. THE LEAF SPRINGS BROKE; CUTTING MY BRAKE-LINE. I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD THE LEAF SPRINGS REPLACED AND THE BRAKE-LINE REPAIRED AT A COST TO ME OF APPROXIMAETLY $1300.

FIRST THE AUTO DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING, THEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW AND FINALLY THE DRIVERS WINDOW. WE WERE TOLD THE ACTUATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST APPX $500 EACH PLUS LABOR!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 50 MPH DOWN A NARROW ROAD, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE REAR END WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE.WHEN I GOT HOME AND CHECKED THE REAR END, I NOTICED 1 OF THE R/R LEAF SPRINGS HAD FRACTURED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I HAD IT REPLACED AT A SERVICE STATION IN APRIL 2013.I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA IN 2014 THAT CERTAIN 2005-2011 VEHICLES WOULD BE RECALLED.THIS IS JULY OF 2015 AND STILL NO WORD ON THE FIX OR RECALL. IT SEEMS FAIRLY OBVIOUS IT WOULD BE BETTER TO ADD ANOTHER LEAF SPRING FOR BETTER SUPPORT. WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE? I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE FOR REIMBURSEMENT MONTHS AGO, BUT ALL THEY KEEP SAYING IS THEY CAN DO NOTHING TILL THE FIX IS APPROVED AND READY. ITS BEEN 2 YRS. SINCE THE INCIDENT. SURELY THEY SHOULD MOVE FASTER THAN THIS.

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

RACK ASSEMBLY SHOT CAUSING STEERING TO "STIFFEN" HAD TO REPLACE THE REST OF THE COMPONENTS AROUND 60000 MILES. WHEN I CALLED A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HOPEFULLY, NO ONE GETS KILLED BEFORE THIS GETS ADDRESSED. SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA IS PERFORMING ANOTHER MANUFACTURER WATERGATE BY ISSUING BOGUS RECALLS FOR THE STEERING COLUMN SPIRAL CABLE AND THE FRAME INSPECTION AND PREVENTIVE UNDER COATING. REALLY SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE REAL PROBLEM AS PER OTHER COMPLAINTS.

TRUCK WONT START, REPLACE AND PURCHASE BATTERY AND WARRANTY WITH NON STOCK BATTERY TWO TIMES. SENT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION, BOTH INSTANCES GAVE THE TRUCK CLEAN SLATE. ON THE SECOND TIME, DEALER REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR DUE TO LOWER THAN 14 AMPS AND REPLACE THE BATTERY THE THIRD TIME. AFTER THREE WEEKS, THE TRUCK WONT START AGAIN, AND SENT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION. AGAIN THE TRUCK WAS GIVEN A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. THE DEALER KEEP SHOWING ME TAPE RESULT OF TEST ON THE BATTERY, ACCEPTING THE CHARGE, THE ALTERNATOR AND CHARGING AMPS OUTPUT. THE DEALER ELIMINATED ANY PARASITIC DEVICE THAT EATS MORE POWER OR WAKES UP WHEN A DEVICE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE SLEEPING. I NEED HELP.

I HAVE NOTICED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THAT THE TRUCK HAS BEEN "BOTTOMING OUT" WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP WITH A LOAD. I GOT UNDER TO INSPECT AND NOTICED A RIGHT LEAF SPRING BROKE AND SITTING OVER ON THE AXLE. THE TOP PART WAS STILL CONNECTED TO THE OTHER LEAF SPRINGS. IT BROKE IN THE AREA ABOVE THE AXLE. TOYOTA STILL HAS NO PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET THEM ON THE BALL TO FIXING THE PROBLEM!! WHAT IF IT HAD BROKE AND WENT ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE, RUBBED IT AND I HAD A BLOW OUT DRIVING.

MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE SPIRAL CABLE RECALL. MY DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER IS BAD. I FEEL THE COMPUTER IS DOING ITS JOB TELLING SOMETHING IS WRONG. IS IT POSSIBLE THE CABLE THEY INSTALLED WAS DEFECTIVE? THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 23000 MILES. THE ESTIMATE THEY GAVE ME WAS $1200 FOR THE COMPUTER. I NEED SOME ADVICE AND HELP. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I USED AN INCLINED DRIVE WAY, FOR A BAY DOOR, TO PULL INTO SO I COULD TURN AROUND AND PARK. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES MY ABS ENGAGED AND STARTED WHINING. I LOST CONTROL OF BRAKING AND MY TRUCK WASN'T STOPPING. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HIT THE CLOSED DOOR. THANKFULLY THE INCLINED DRIVE WAY SLOWED ME DOWN BEFORE HITTING THE DOOR!!! THIS ISN'T THE FIRST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH MY BREAKS NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR WITH MY ABS WHINING. LAST SUMMER I HAD AN ISSUE GOING DOWN A BUMPY HILL UP IN THE MOUNTAINS. I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY DOWN THE REALLY BUMPY HILL AND MY ABS WAS WHINING LIKE CRAZY, I WASN'T EVEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. WHEN I NEEDED TO APPLY THE BREAKS IT FELT AS IF THEY WEREN'T WORKING PROPERLY AND STOPING WASN'T GOING TO BE EASY. MY ABS WHINES WHEN I HIT A BUMP, SPEED BUMP, POT HOLE, RAILROAD TRACKS, AND SO ON. BASICALLY IF I HIT ANY TYPE OF UNFLAT SURFACE MY ABS WHINES MAJORITY OF THE TIME AND I'M NOT EVEN USING THE BREAKS. I TALKED TO THE DEALER A WHILE AGO AND THEY SAID MY ABS IS WHINING BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS LIFTED. MY LAST TRUCK, DIFFERENT MAKE, WAS LIFTED THE SAME DISTANCE AND I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT. I HAVE HAD THE TOYOTA FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW.

MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY AND STEERING BOUND UP WITHOUT WARNING. TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO AVOID HITTING GUARDRAIL AND NARROWLY AVOIDED CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE OF AN EXPOSED JOINT IN THE STEERING SHAFT RUSTING AND BINDING UP. JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN OF THIS PART. I NO LONGER WILL TAKE MY FAMILY IN THIS TRUCK AND WILL BE LOOKING TO TRADE IN FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AND PROTECT ITS CUSTOMERS. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL ABOUT POSSIBLE REAR SPRING BREAKAGE DUE TO PRESSURE CORROSION. THE DESCRIPTION ADDRESSED THE POSSIBILITY OF A PUNCTURED GAS TANK OR DAMAGED BRAKE LINE. IT IS NOW LATE APRIL OF 2015 AND ACCORDING TO TOYOTA'S WEB SITE THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. WHEN I CONTACT THE DEALER, ALL THEY SAY IS WE ARE POWERLESS UNTIL WE HEAR FROM TOYOTA. I AM CONCERNED THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION. SURELY COMPANY WITH TOYOTA'S STAFF AND RESOURCES COULD HAVE COME UP WITH SOMETHING BY NOW. *TR

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. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO OLD OR NEW LEAF SPRINGS ANYWHERE!!!! THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX OUR PROBLEM!!!! PENNSYLVANIA LAW REQUIRES MOTOR VEHICLES TO PASS INSPECTION YEARLY...OUR VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION...WHAT ARE WE TO DO?? THIS ISN'T OUR FAULT, IT'S TOYOTA'S PROBLEM, WITH NO REMEDY. WHEN OUR TRUCK DOESN'T PASS INSPECTION, WHAT ARE WE TO DO??? IT IS COMING ON 5 MONTHS, AND I BELIEVE THAT

PROBLEM: BROKEN REAR LEAF SPRINGS ON BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE. THEY BROKE 6 MONTHS APART. THERE HAS BEEN A LONG DELAY BY IN TAKING CARE OF THE RECALL FOR SPRING REPLACEMENT. I RECEIVED THE MESSAGE BELOW 10/2/14. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET TOYOTA TO ACT? NOT ONLY DO THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE SPRING ASSEMBLIES BUT THEY NEED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR MY PREVIOUS REPAIR OF BROKEN SPRINGS. I GET NO INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA OR THE DEALER ON ANY SCHEDULE. _______________ YOUR 2008 TACOMA WITH VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) [XXX] IS INVOLVED IN SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN (RECALL) E12, WHICH ADDRESSES THE VEHICLE'S LEAF SPRINGS. TOYOTA ANNOUNCED THIS CAMPAIGN EARLIER IN THE WEEK, AND WE WILL BE ISSUING PRELIMINARY NOTIFICATIONS TO OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES IN THE NEAR FUTURE. YOU MAY FEEL FREE TO CONFIRM YOUR TACOMA'S RECALL INVOLVEMENT AT HTTP://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/RECALL. TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY PREPARING THE REMEDY FOR THIS SERVICE CAMPAIGN, AND WE WILL SEND A SECOND ROUND OF OWNER NOTIFICATIONS WHEN THE REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE. WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE SECOND LETTER FROM TOYOTA, IT WILL INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW YOU CAN APPLY FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED LEAF SPRING REPAIRS. TOYOTA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REVIEW REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTS UNTIL THE REMEDY IS LAUNCHED. IN THE INTERIM, IT COULD BE HELPFUL FOR YOU TO LOCATE AND MAKE COPIES OF YOUR REPAIR INVOICES, INCLUDING PROOF OF PAYMENT, AS WELL AS A COPY OF YOUR REGISTRATION OR INSURANCE FOR THE REPAIR DATES.

DRIVER HIT BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN FOR APPROACHING STOP SIGN. BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT GO DOWN. HE TRIED 3 TIMES TO MAKE THE BRAKE GO DOWN. TO KEEP FROM HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM, HE RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH. TRUCK WAS TOTALED. *TR

I HAVE HAD THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS OF LEAF SPRINGS BREAKING. IT IS ALWAYS THE CENTER LEAF SPRING - ONCE ON THE LEFT AND TWICE ON THE RIGHT. I REPAIRED TWO SPRINGS PRIOR TO THE RECALL, AND SUBMITTED A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO TOYOTA, WHICH THEY DENIED. I JUST HAD A THIRD LEAF SPRING BREAK. I USE MY TRUCK FOR HAULING MATERIAL ON MY FARM AND CANNOT DO SO WITH A BROKEN LEAF SPRING. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN PROBLEM, AND NOT A CORROSION ISSUE AS THE LEAF SPRING THAT BROKE THIS THIRD TIME WAS REPAIRED LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO. IT HAS BEEN FOUR MONTHS SINCE THE INITIAL RECALL AND TOYOTA STILL HAS NO DATE WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. WHEN WILL THE NTSB TAKE ACTION TO REQUIRE PROMPT ATTENTION TO CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING REQUIRING REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT? *TR

MY TOYOTA TACOMA (2008) SEATBELTS HAD A RECALL BY TOYOTA; THE 'SCREWS THAT ATTACH THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER TO THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR...CAN BECOME LOSE OVER TIME...'; IN MY TACOMA TRUCK WE DID THE RECALL REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP IN JUNEAU, ALASKA IN APRIL OF 2014. THIS WEEK THE SCREWS DID DISENGAGE APPARENTLY BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT IS NOW LOOSE FROM THE RETRACTOR ENTIRELY. THIS RENDERS THE SEATBELT WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING BOTTOM LINE. THIS IS QUITE A SAFETY ISSUE. CONSEQUENCES: I AM NOW UNABLE TO STATE MY SEATBELT WILL ENGAGE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, AND PROTECT MY LIFE IN AN ACCIDENTS. CORRECTION: THE DEALERSHIP STAFF WERE INITIALLY NON-COMMITTAL WITH REGARDS TO THE PROBLEM BEING RELATED TO THE RECALL OF 2014; I WENT UP THE LINE ON THE PHONE AND NOW THEY ARE OFFERING TO INSPECT IT, TO 'SEE IF IT IS'; THIS IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IS DANGEROUS. THEY NEED TO BE MUCH MORE PROACTIVE IN MONITORING THE INITIAL RECALL TRUCKS TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM REPEATS OVER TIME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD HEARD A LOUD SNAP. TRUCK SKIPPED SIDEWAYS LIKE I HIT A POTHOLE. FOUND A BROKEN DRIVER SIDE LEAF SPRING. I REPORTED IT TOYOTA THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. SO I WENT OUT AND HAD 2 NEW SPRINGS PUT ON FOR SAFETY. I WAS THEN TOLD THEY WOULD PAY ME FOR THE REPAIR. NOW BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNO THE "REMEDY" TO REPAIR THIS. THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. *JS

I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN FOR THE FRAME CHECK. THEY SAID I WAS GOOD FOR A FRAME SPRAY. THEY SPRAYED MY TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS TOLD IT WAS WARRANTIED. I GET MY TRUCK BACK AND THE SPRAY IS ALL OVER MY GARAGE MY DRIVEWAY MY PAINT AND RUBS OFF BY DRIVING THROUGH SNOW. I WAS TOLD SOME TRUCKS COME BACK AFTER A YEAR WITH BAD FRAMES WITH THIS TREATMENT. HOW ARE THEY ALLOWED TO COVER UP SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD. I SHOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM MY LAST TOYOTA FRAME THAT SNAPPED ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING. BUT AFTER THERE LAST RECALL I WAS THINKING SOMETHING CHANGED. TURNS OUT THEY MADE NO CHANGES TO THEIR FRAMES EVEN AFTER ALL THERE ISSUES. SO I ASKED IF I WAS TO BUY A BRAND NEW TRUCK IS THERE A NEW FRAME PROCESS.. GUESS WHAT NO CHANGE. *JS
