2010 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR THE REAR LEAF SPRING ON 12/1/2014. IT STATES THE LEAF SPRINGS CAN RUST, FAIL AND ACCIDENTALLY PUNCTURE THE GAS TANK CAUSING A FIRE. THEY HAVE YET TO PRODUCE A REMEDY AND CONTINUE TO STALL INSTEAD OF TAKING ACTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD ULTIMATELY BE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND TOYOTA CONTINUES TO DELAY. I DO NOT FEEL TOYOTA HAS THE CUSTOMERS BEST INTEREST IN MIND AND ARE PURELY STALLING FOR MONETARY REASONS. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL DATED 9/29/14 FOR DEFECTIVE LEAF SPRINGS. IT IS NOW 2/27/15 AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT AN INITIOAL NOTICE AND NO ESTIMATE OF REPAIR DATE. I HAVE COMUNINCATED WITH TOYOTA THROUGH THIER CHANNELS AND RECEIVED NO NEW OR UPDATED INFORMATION. I HAVE HAD A TRIP PLANNED FOR SOME TIME THAT INVOLVES USING THE TRUCK AND TOWING A BOAT THAT A FEEL I MAY NEED TO CANCEL DUE TO SAFETY CONERNS AND FIND IT TO BE UNREASONABLE THAT IT IS TAKING THIS LONG FOR A SOLUTION. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THERE WILL HAVE TO BE SOMEONE INJURED OR WORSE BEFORE THIS GETS ATTENTION. *TR

SMELL OF GAS HAS BEEN OVERWHELMING. VEHICLE NOW PARKED OUTSIDE AND WILL NOT DRIVE UNTIL IT CAN BE FIXED OR REPLACED, HAVE BEEN WARNED OF POTENTIAL AIR BAG FAILURE IN JAPANESE PLANTS FOUND LAST WEEK IN THIS MODEL. THIS VEHICLE IS THE ONLY CAR WE HAVE, PAID ON IT FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I HAVE PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO KEEP SERVICE UP TO DATE, THEY HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT WITH ME EVEN THOUGH I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON IT. I JUST HAD THE SERVICES DONE, AND HAD TO PAY FOR THEM, AND EVEN THOUGH I THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING A GOOD JOB, MY BATTERY DIED AND I PULLED THE HOOD OPEN AND THERE WAS CORROSION EVERYWHERE ON BATTERY AND UNDER THE HOOD, I AM GOING TO LOOK UNDER THE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN IN THE MORNING AFTER LOOKING AT THIS NEW RECALL AND I WILL REPORT TO TOYOTA FINANCIAL SERVICES IN THE MORNING. AT THIS POINT I AM DISGUSTED WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, I HAVE PURCHASED MY LAST THREE TOYOTAS THERE AND I WILL NOT GO BACK THERE EVERY AGAIN, IN FACT AFTER THESE PAST THREE YEARS OF CONTINUAL RECALLS AND SAFETY HAZARDS, AS WELL AS THEM NOT BEING FIXED CORRECTLY OR NOT BEING REIMBURSED FOR MY TIME OR EXPENSES BEING LOST FROM THIS VEHICLE NOT BEING REPAIRED CORRECTLY WHEN MINE AND MY CHILDREN'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE AND MY CLIENT'S THAT I SEE IN CLINICAL THERAPY, I WILL NEVER CONSIDER PURCHASING ANYTHING FROM THE TOYOTA COOPERATION EVERY AGAIN. *TR
