2007 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

2007 TACOMA/TOYOTA FRAME HAS BAD RUST AN CORROSION. THERE WAS A RECALL AT ONE TIME BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. TRUCK IS IN GOOD CONDITION 87000 MI. TRUCK WAS SERVICED TODAY 1-22-2021. MECHANIC SAID CHASSIS NOT IN GOOD CONDITION. COULD TURN OUT TO BE FATAL ON THE HIGHWAY.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA . I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS ABOUT THE FRAME THEY SAID THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND MY TRUCK HAS BEEN 'FIXED' FOR THE FRAME ISSUE, NOW THERE DEFINITION OF FIXED IS A UNDERCOATING THAT HASN'T DONE A SINGLE THING TO PREVENT THE RUST. IT WILL NOT PASS THE VA STATE INSPECTION. I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE FOR SOME [XXX] RECALL THAT HAS 'EXPIRED' A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD NOT EXPIRE. IT IS A DANGER TO MY LIFE AND OTHERS. I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS EITHER NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR I NEED TO GET MY MONEY BACK. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE MADE SEVERAL REPORTS IT SHOWS THAT NHTSA IS A JOKE THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER THEN THE MONEY THEY PROFIT. THANKS.

MY INDIGO BLUE PAINT HAS PEELED OF THE ROOF OF THE CAB PREMATURELY AND WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE I RESEARCHED THE TOYOTA RECALL ON WHITE BLIZZARD PEARL PAINT AND I BELIEVE THIS IS DEFINITELY A SIMILAR DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PLEASE VIEW PICTURES ATTACHED. SINCERELY [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I PURCHASE A 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA IN JUNE 2015 AT THAT TIME WE WERE TOLD DUE TO RECALL BY TOYOTA, THE FRAME HAD BEEN UNDERCOATED. RECENTLY RESEARCHING THE RECALL INFORMATION, THIS WAS ONE OF THE OPTIONS FOR REPAIR BY TOYOTA RECALL. WHEN WE WENT FOR AN INSPECTION IT FAILED BECAUSE OF RUSTY FRAME....HOW CAN YOU ALLOW RECALLS TO EXPIRE? I KNOW THIS WAS HUGE EXPENSE TO TOYOTA TO REPAIR VEHICLES, BUT I FEEL LIKE A LIFE IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN A LOSS FOR A COMPANY THAT SHOULD HAVE MANUFACTURED A QUALITY PRODUCT TO BEGIN WITH. MY QUESTION IS, HOW CAN YOU, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE ALLOW RECALLS TO EXPIRE, WHEN CLEARLY ONE OF THE RECALL OPTIONS DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM? MY SON SPOKE WITH TOYOTA AND THEY COULD CARE LESS. I DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES TO REPAIR OR BUY A NEW VEHICLE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IF PART OF THE RECALL/REPAIR PROCESS WOULD DETERIORATE AFTER A FEW YEARS IS THIS REALLY A FIX TO THE PROBLEM? DOESN'T THAT STILL LEAVE A SAFETY ISSUE? I JUST DO NOT BELIEVE THE UNDERCOAT WORKED THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE AND A NEW RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED, AS CLEARLY THIS DID NOT STOP THE PROBLEM AND THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE WITH OWNERS OF UNDERCOATED VEHICLES. I PRAY OWNERS ARE AWARE OF THIS AND IT DOES NOT RESULT IN A LOSS OF LIFE OR LIMB. TOO MANY ACCIDENTS ARE HAPPENING FOR NEGLIGENCE OF THE MANUFACTURE. I DO APPLAUD TOYOTA FOR TRYING TO MAKE THE VEHICLES SAFE, BUT THIS INSTANCE AFTER A FEW YEARS, CLEARLY THE UNDERCOATING FAILED TO REPAIR AND MAKE VEHICLE SAFE.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. HORN NOT WORKING. FUSES GOOD- WIRE HARNESS RECALL COMPLETED 2012 NOV. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE SAME COMPONENTS. NOW OVER 240K MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

THE SHIFTER BROKE AFTER PULLING INTO PARK AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE GEAR BOX FAILED. REPAIRED SHIFT CABLE 8/6/2020.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007. RECENTLY UPON MY PERIODIC INSPECTION OF THE FRAME I NOTICED ALL THE FRAME WELDS IN THE UPPER FRAME AREA RUSTED AND THE WELDS APPEARED TO BE BREAKING ON THE FRAME. IF THIS IS IN FACT THE CASE THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER ROAD WORTHY. THE FRAME OF ANY VEHICLE SHOULD LAST THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS 153000 ORIGINAL MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFT INTERLOCK CONTROL UNIT FAILED WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER CEASED IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 168,287.

I SHUT THE FRONT DRIVERS DOOR AND MY BACK WINDOW BLEW OUT. I DID NOT SLAM THE DOOR I JUST SHUT IT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE SHADE ON MY PROPERTY. THE REAR WINDOW HAS A SLIDER IN THE MIDDLE, THE PART OF THAT SHATTERED WAS THE REAR WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

I'VE NOTICED MY STEERING BECAME VERY HARD AND STIFF ALL OF A SUDDEN. I'VE CHECKED THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND FLUID, IT ALL CHECKED OUT FINE. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND NOTICED PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT NO 2. (LOWER ONE BY THE WHEELS). I NOTICED THAT PART WAS NOT PROTECTED BY ANYTHING AND IS AND WAS EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS LIKE SALT, WATER, DIRT ETC. OVERTIME, THE U-JOINT RUSTS UP AND STARTS TO STICK CAUSING VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR THE DRIVER WHERE IT BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING. I'VE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF MY PART IN QUESTION. MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WANTS $700.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS. *TR
