2010 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE OF REAR LEAF SPRING DEFECT, I CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN BROOKHAVEN, MS IN JUNE OF 2016. MANAGER SAID SPRINGS WERE ON BACKORDER AND THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY COULD REPAIR! SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED 3 OR 4 NHTSA RECALL 14V-604 NOTICES, I WOULD THINK THE SPRINGS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AFTER 10 MONTHS OF WAITING! WHAT AM I TO DO IF A SPRING BEAKS???? I HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM THIS DEALERSHIP!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V604000 (SUSPENSION); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V604000 (SUSPENSION); HOWEVER, THE DEALER REFUSED TO DO THE REPAIR DUE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING A LIFT KIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE LIFT KIT WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEING REMEDIED. THE CONTACT REFUSED BECAUSE HE WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THE LIFT KIT TO BE RE-INISTALLED, EVEN AFTER THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH THE LIFT KIT. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL ON MY TACOMA LEAF SPRINGS ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THEN 3 MONTHS LATER OR SO I WAS NOTIFIED THAT "THE FIX" WAS READY AND THAT I SHOULD CALL MY DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. I DID SO IN ABOUT APRIL OF 2016. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE, EVEN THOUGH I'VE CONTACTED THEM ASKING WHEN THIS REPAIR COULD BE DONE. THEY "HAD NO INFORMATION."

THE DEALER HAS NOT REMEDIED THIS RECALL. I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT OVER 23 WEEKS AGO. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD BE THERE IN 7 TO 10 DAYS. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE PARTS FROM THE VENDOR.

THE HVAC FAN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BURNED AND MELTED. I COULD SMELL BURNING INSIDE MY TRUCK. MY MECHANIC FOUND THE HVAC BLOWER FAN CONNECTION HAD BEEN SO HOT IT BURNED AND MELTED ALONG WITH THE RESISTOR. SOME OF THE WIRES WERE BLACK AND BROWN. I WAS WORRIED THE TRUCK WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE! THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I FOUND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN! TOYOTA DENIED THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE SEAT BELT WAS FIXED 12/18/2015, AS IT WOULD NOT RETRACT. THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT FIX IT.

AS I WAS CLEANING THE WINDSHIELD I HAD MY WIPER BLADES UP. I BUMPED THE BLADE ARM AND THE WIPER FELL OFF AS THE ARM CAME DOWN HITTING THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A ONE FOOT LONG CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE READ THERE HAS BEEN RECALLING ON OTHER TOYOTAS FOR WINDSHIELDS CRACKING FROM THE DEFROSTER BLOWING WARM AIR ON A COLD WINDSHIELD. APPARENTLY, THE GLASS IS TOO THIN. THE TRUCK WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE. THE RPMS INCREASED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT SOUNDED AS IF THE THROTTLE WAS STUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,500.
