LESS THAN 10,000 MILES BETWEEN THESE INCIDENTS IS QUITE A COINCIDENCE.

I KEEP THE COVER SLID OVER IT.

ANYTIME IT RAINS WATER LEAKS IN BEHIND THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, LEAKING WATER THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND INTO THE FLOORBOARD OF THE TRUCK THERE ARE LOTS OF WIRES AND A BLOWER MOTOR IN THIS AREA WHERE FIRE COULD CAUSE ANY NUMBER OF UNSAFE CONDITIONS. THE CAUSE HAS BEEN NARROWED DOWN TO ONE OR BOTH OF TWO THINGS. THE FIRST IS A CRACK THAT ORIGINATES IN THE SEAM BEHIND THE DASH BOARD OF THESE VEHICLES DUE TO PRODUCTION ERROR. THE SECOND IS ROTTING GROMMET PLUGS UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER COWL. THE FIRST BEING MUCH MORE SEVERE AS IT COULD ALSO CAUSE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.

I AM DISABLED AND I KEEP RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES ABOUT AIRBAGS, AND FRAME RECALLS FROM TOYOTA, BUT THE LOCAL DEALERS TELL ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THEM. I AM UNABLE TO CARRY ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF SAFETY ADVISORIES AND THIS IS AFFECTING THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE, AND RISK OF INJURY TO MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGERS I MAY CARRY, AND INSURANCE COVERAGE BECAUSE OF THE RECALL NOTIFICATIONS. I SUFFERED DILIGENTLY TO PAY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I FIND IT'S AN UNSAFE PIECE OF JUNK THAT I CANNOT USE. I REALLY WANT THIS VEHICLE FIXED OR REPLACED WITH ONE THAT IS NOT UNSAFE.
