2009 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE BURNED AND CRACKED LENSES. TOYOTA CORPORATE SAYS THE RECALL IS OVER. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED--REPAIR COSTS OVER $500. PLEASE HELP--

AFTER GOING IN REVERSE THEN STOPPING AND PLACING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP, I WOULD ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOTHING BUT REV UP AND THEN IT WILL FINALLY ENGAGE.

BOTH HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES INNER LENS DISTORTED/BUBBLING, AND ONE SIDE IS CRACKED WITH THE INNER LENS SEPARATED

TOYOTA SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THERE FEET ON THE LEAF SPRING FIX FOR THE TACOMAS.ITS BEEN GOING ON 2 YEARS,WHATS BEING DONE?HOW MANY TRUCKS HAVE BURNED UP OR CRASHED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.

THIS VEHICLE IS 7 YEARS OLD AND 2 YEARS AGO THE READOUT SCREEN FOR THE COMPASS AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE FAILED!! I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID TOYOTA HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CHIP BOARDS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED! I SPENT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE A VEHICLE WITH THESE FEATURES AND NOW IT'S NOT FUNCTIONING! MAKES ME MAD!! GET THIS COMPONENT UNDER RECALL, IT'S REALLY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE! I WOULD HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT SOONER BUT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE.

MY 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS SINCE 2014. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP MONTHLY TO FIND OUT IF/WHEN THE REPAIRS ARE GOING TO BEGIN! THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

TOYOTA HAS NOTIFIED ME (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 14V604) ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2014 AND AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER, 2015 CONCERNING THE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF MY TACOMA TOYOTA TRUCK. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS SAFETY RECALL 'FIX' HAS GONE ON MUCH TOO LONG. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER TO SEE ABOUT THIS RECALL BUT THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE NEEDED PARTS FROM TOYOTA. I ALSO CALLED TOYOTA HQ AND THEY TOO DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEAN TIME MY LEAF SPRINGS OCCASIONALLY MAKE NOISES DESCRIBED BY THE DEALER AS A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM. MY QUESTION: WHY IS IT TAKING TOYOTA SO LONG TO REPAIR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SIMPLE PROBLEM? AM I ENDANGERING MY FAMILY AND MYSELF BY CONTINUING TO DRIVE MY 2009 TACOMA?
