1995 TOYOTA PICKUP Complaints

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS, VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN EXAMINED BY DEALER SHIP.*AK *YD

THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY LIABILIY INSURANCE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, SO ALLSTATE PAID NO MONEY. A CLAIM WAS FILED THROUGH FIRESTONE. AFTER SENDING THE FAILED TIRE ALONG WITH PICTURES AND ESTIMATES OF THE VEHICLES (THERE WAS A MOTORCYCLE IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT), FIRESTONE HAD SENT ME A REPLY BACK STATING THAT THE TIRES TREAD PEELED DUE TO AN IMPROPER REPAIR. THE ONLY REPAIR THAT I AM CURRENTLY AWARE OF WAS DONE ONLY DAYS BEFORE THE TIRE PEELED, LEAVING NO TIME FOR THE TREAD BREAKDOWN TO OCCUR. THE REPAIR WAS DONE AT A REPAIR SHOP. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE PEELED TREAD FROM THE TIRE AND FIRESTONE IS SENDING THE COMPLETE TIRE BACK TO ME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VD60AXC195 TIRESIZE: 31X10.5R15)

ENGINE REPLACED DUE TO FAULTY TIMING COVER THAT CAUSED OIL TO MIX WITH ANTI-FREEZE. *SLC

WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT WAS HIT BY A DRUNKEN DRIVER, AND CONSUMER'S VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE, AND DRIVER WAS KILLED. FAMILY WAS TRYING TO FIND THE CAUSE OF FIRE IF IT WAS MORE THAN THE IMPACT. *AK

TRUCK'S GAUGE WENT IN THE RED ZONE HOT, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TOWED IT TO HANSEL TOYOTA. I WAS THEN INFORMED THAT IT MAY BE UNDER THE RECALL ISSUE. ALOT OF 1995 TOYOTA P/U WERE RECALLED SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL ALONG WITH THE V6 ENGINE SIZE. WHEN THE SERVICE REP. PUNCHED IN MY TRUCK'S VIN#, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT IN THE RECALL SERIES OF VIN #'S. BUT IT SEEMS ODD THAT THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL AND V6 ENGINE SIZE WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING IN MY TRUCK AND MY VIN # WASN'T RECALLED. I HAVE HAD THE WATER PUMP AND THE THERMOSTAT WAS REPLACE BY HANSEL TOYOTA. THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF THE WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT WAS DAMAGED UNTIL THEY HAVE THE ENGINE APART. THEY DID SHOW THAT THE HEAD GASKET WAS DIFNITELY DAMAGED BY THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT THEY RAN. I THINK THATIT SHOULD BE UNDER THE SAME RECALL, BECAUSE THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AL ONG WITH THE V6 ENGINE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *AK

WATER IS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE HEAD GASKET, AND THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING VERY ROUGH. *AK

STARTED DOWNHILL, WET PAVEMENT, TOUCHED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, BRAKES LOCKED BOTH TIMES, STARTED TO SPIN. HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE HEAD-ON. THIS IS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. *AK

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT IS 12 INCHES TOO SHORT, TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE BELT, WILL ONLY PROVIDE EXTENDER. TT

TRANSMISSION SHIFT NEEDLE DOES NOT LINE UP AND SLIPS OUT WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL.
