2011 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that the driver's and passenger's side headlights were inoperable. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that the headlight assemblies were extremely hot and had melted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver's and passenger's side headlight assemblies needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 210,000.

This VIN number was totaled due to a bent frame after being rear ended on June 10th. I fear my insurance company (USAA) will attempt to commit fraud by not reporting the title as salvage.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Tacoma. Upon purchase of the vehicle, the contact received a Carfax report from the independent dealer that the vehicle had been placed under a service campaign for frame corrosion. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer where he was denied the service campaign because his vehicle was in a non-cold climate state. The manufacturer was also notified, and also denied his claim. The contact stated that he had discovered corrosion on the sub frame of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

MY VEHICLE FAILED VA INSPECTION DUE TO THE HORN NOT WORKING. I HAVE TO GET THE SPIRAL CABLE REPLACED PER THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THIS WAS A RECALL ON TACOMA'S UP TO 2009 (RECALL B1801) BUT NOT MY YEAR. MY YEAR SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS ALSO IMPACTS THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL.

TOYOTA SCRANTON IS WILLFULLY DEFRAUDING OWNERS ENTITLED TO REMEDY FOR SEVERELY RUSTED FRAME UNDER CASE NUMBER 2:15-CV-02171, US DISTRICT COURT, CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA. SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION AND PHOTOGRAPHS.

PASSENGER SIDE REAR SUSPENSION WAS MAKING NOISE. LOUD CLUNKING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, REAR LEAF SPRING IS BROKEN IN 2 PLACES. THE PREVIOUSLY INSTATED RECALL DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE??

REAR LEAF SPRINGS ARE VERY WEAK AND ARE NOT AS SUPPORTIVE AS THEY SHOULD BE. AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO THE SPRING IS PRETTY MUCH STRAIGHT AND IT SHOULD HAVE SOME CURVE AS THERE IS NO LOAD ON THE VEHICLE.

MY DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHT KEEPS BURNING OUT AND SPLITTING THE LENS. IT'S THE SECOND SET OF LIGHT I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THEM.

UPON INSPECTION TO TROUBLESHOOT A MINOR POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK, I NOTICED THAT THE PINION INPUT SHAFT HOUSING (RIGHT SIDE OF POWER STEERING RACK) HAD EXCESSIVE RUST BEYOND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE REST OF THE RACK DID NOT EXHIBIT THE SAME DEGREE OF CORROSION, SUGGESTING A MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY DEFECT. THE CONDITION WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND BY TOYOTA TECHNICIANS. THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC STATES THAT THE CONDITION IS BEYOND NORMAL WEAR BUT THE TOYOTA TECHNICIAN DENIES THAT ANYTHING BUT A BOLT IS CORRODED.

BOTH LEFT SIDE AND RIGHT SIDE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT LENS INSIDE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY ARE BURNED AND DISCOLORED. HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY LENS ARE CRACKED.
