2011 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

LEAF SPRINGS HAVE BROKEN TWICE. FIRST TIME IN 2013 AND CURRENT. TOYOTA SAYS MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. MY TRUCK SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS IT HAS THE SAME SAFETY CONCERN AS THE ONES BEING RECALLED.

THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAF SPRING FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA OVER 2 YEARS AGO REGARDING REPLACEMENT OF REAR SPRINGS, HOWEVER TO THIS DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE REGARDING THIS RECALL. VERY DISTURBING THAT NO ACTION HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN. HOWEVER, I AM NOT HAVING ANY VISABLE OR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT I CAN DETECT.

TAKATA RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2011 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE HORN STOPPED WORKING SO I TOOK THE CAR INTO A TOYOTA CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THEY SAID THIS WAS CAUSED BY SPIRAL CABLE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THEY HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THEM WITH THE TOYOTA TACOMA, BUT NOT COVERED BY A RECALL YET. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT - AND RESULTS IN A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AIR BAG FAILURE, THE AIR BAGS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITHOUT COST TO THE OWNERS. THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED OVER MANY MONTHS AS THE HORN BECAME INCREASINGLY INTERMITTENT UNTIL IT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING.

MY HORN STOPPED WORKING AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS AN SPRIAL CABLE PROBLEM IN THE STERRING WHEEL COLUM. WAS TOLD TO CHECK ONRECALLS FOR THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE TRUCK.

HORN STOPPED WORKING, SO DID THE CRUISE CONTROL.AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON SOMETIMES DEALER SAID I NEED A NEW CLOCK SPRING AND AIR BAG BECAUSE THE HORN SWITCH IS INSIDE THE AIRBAG.

WRONG RUNNING LIGHTS WERE INSTALLED AT THE FACTOR. NOW THE HEADLIGHTS ARE CRACKED AND FOGGY AND THE LIGHT IS WEAK AND DEFUSED MAKING IT DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. T DEALER THAT I TOOK IT TO TOLD ME THE TIME LIMIT FOR REPAIR HAD EXPIRED AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR.
