Recalls and investigations
Tires, temporary/emergency spare tireNov 23, 2012
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2001 through 2004 Tacoma light trucks manufactured from August 28, 2000, through August 27, 2004, and originally sold, or currently registered, in the following cold climate states with high road salt usage: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia. The spare tire in the subject vehicles is located underneath the rear of the vehicle and held by a spare tire carrier. A lift plate on the carrier is used to help raise, lower and retain the tire. During its manufacture, the lift plate may not have been sufficiently coated with anti-corrosion materials. If the plate is insufficiently coated and the vehicle is operated in cold climate regions where road salts are frequently used, road spray can reach the carrier assembly and corrode the lift plate.
Corrosion of the plate could cause it to break, which could result in detachment of the spare tire from the vehicle. Detachment of the spare tire could result in a road hazard which may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Toyota will notify owners, dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace the spare tire carrier lift plate as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in February 2013. Owners may contact their Toyota dealer or the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331.

EXCESSIVE RUST CORROSION ON THE VEHICLE FRAME. EXCESSIVE RUST CORROSION TO THE POINT WHERE THERE ARE ACTUAL HOLES IN THE MAIN FRAME OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE VEHICLES SUSPENSION ATTACHES. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN INSPECTED FOR CORROSION AND UNDER RECALL AND HAD ADDITIONAL CORROSION PROTECTION APPLIED. I JUST NOTICED THE HOLES IN THE FRAME ON MARCH 2, 2017 AND WISH TO INQUIRE IF THE VEHICLE FALLS UNDER THE EXTENDED FRAME WARRANTY. JUDGING BY THE EXTENT OF RUST AND DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES FRAME, I FEEL CONFIDENT STATING THAT THE DAMAGE HAPPENED SEVERAL MONTHS TO A YEAR AGO.

I WENT TO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED. WHEN THEY RAISED THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT THE FRAME BROKE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK NEAR THE BED. THE ENTIRE BED OF THE TRUCK FELL BACKWARDS. THE FRAME WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. I HAD OWNED THE TRUCK FOR FOUR YEARS AND NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA THAT THIS MIGHT BE AN ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRAME BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. AS A RESULT THEY REFUSED TO HELP FIX THE ISSUE. MY $11,000 TRUCK IS NOW TOTALED. A WORKER AT THE TIRE PLACE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED. THIS IS ALSO A CONCERN WITH MYSELF AND FAMILY THAT DROVE IN THIS VEHICLE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUE. TOYOTA HAS AVOIDED FIXING A KNOWN PROBLEM BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A WEAK RECALL REQUIREMENT ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND HAS COST HARDWORKING FAMILIES MONEY AND COULD END U COSTING SOMEONE A LIFE. ALL TO SAVE MONEY. WHY DOES TOYOTA GET TO ADMIT THEY MADE A MISTAKE BUT ONLY BE REQUIRED TO FIX IN ON VEHICLES THEY CHOSE?

I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE VERY LITTLE. HAS 46500 MILES, DONE IN STAMFORD CT A CITY THAT DOES NOT USE SALT IN THE WINTER BUT ONLY SAND. I NOTICED EXCESSIVE RUST UNDER AND IT NEEDED TO WELD STEEL PLATES TO SUPPORT THE CHASSIS TWICE ( THE FIRST WHEN THE CAR WAS 5 YEARS OLD). IN SPITE OF THAT THE DETERIORATION CONTINUED AND NOW THE CHASSIS IS BROKEN NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL MAKING THE CAT LOCK ,UNABLE TO TURN,UNDRIVABLE, PARKED AT HOME.

Suspension, Power train, Service brakes, Oct 7, 2016
THE RUST ON THE REAR END ASSEMBLY IS SO SEVERE THAT THE BRAKES ARE COMPROMISED, AND THE BACK UP EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THE RUST ON THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING IS SO SEVERE THAT THE FLUID HAS LEAKED OUT AND THE GEARS ARE AT RISK FOR CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE SPRING MOUNTS TO THE AXLES ARE ALSO RUSTING SEVERELY, CREATING A RISK OF LOST CONTROL SHOULD EITHER SIDE BREAK AWAY. IT TAKES GREAT EFFORT WHEN BRAKING, AND THE VEHICLE PULLS SEVERELY DUE TO RUST CAUSING THE LOSS OF INTEGRITY OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE BRAKES, ONCE APPLIED, DO NOT RELEASE EVENLY, CREATING UNEVEN BRAKE WEAR, SHUDDERING AND SHAKING, RESULTING IN POOR CONTROL, EXCESSIVE AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR, I.E., TIRES LOCKED AND DRAGGING, SCALLOPING. ON WET, AND I FEAR, ICEY, SURFACES, THE TRUCK HAS SLID SIDEWAYS DUE TO ONE OR MORE WHEELS NOT RELEASING.

I WAS INFORMED BY TOYOTA CASE WORKER THAT THE RUSTY FRAME RECALL EXPIRED AND IT IS MY PROBLEM NOW. I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY FRAME RECALL NOTICE BUT RECEIVED A SPARE TIRE LIFT PLATE RECALL (WHICH DOESN'T EXPIRE) DUE TO RUST AND SEVERE CORROSION. I WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP MY TRUCK WAS UNSAFE TO EVEN PUT ON THE LIFT TO ADDRESS CURRENT RECALL, OF COURSE THEY LET ME DRIVE IT HOME WHICH IS A 35-40 MINUTE DRIVE FOR ME. I WAS FORCED TO SCRAP MY TRUCK WITH A PERFECTLY GOOD MOTOR BECAUSE HOW UNSAFE IT WAS AND THE EXPENSE TO FIX IT ON MY OWN. I DIDN'T REALIZE THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL I CRAWLED UNDER MY TRUCK AND WAS BESIDE MYSELF! I HAD HUGE HOLES IN THE FRAME, THE LEAF SPRINGS WERE SHOT, ALL THIS WAS UNDER THE "UNDERCOATING" THAT WAS DONE AT TIME OF PURCHASE TO PROTECT FRAME FROM RUST! I PAID EXTRA FOR THAT! EVEN MY SEAT MOUNTS ON THE INTERIOR BACK SEAT WERE RUSTED! I SUSPECT THE QUALITY OF METAL USED IS ON THE LOWER SIDE... I USED MY TRUCK AS A TRUCK, HAULED SMALL AMOUNTS OF MULCH, SOUL FOR MY GARDEN, IT MOVED ME 5X! I DIDN'T GO MUDDLING IN IT, PARK IT IN A POND, OR LIVE IN A FLOOD AREA. I JUST USED IT... HOW IS THERE AN EXPIRATION DATE FOR THE ONGOING PROBLEM THAT CAN ULTIMATELY JEAPARDIZE A PERSONS SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD?! PLEASE HOLD TOYOTA RESPONSIBLE...

TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX SAFETY RECALLS BECAUSE OF FRAME RUST DAMAGE. I NEVER RECEIVED THEIR SHORT TERM RECALL NOTICE ON THE FRAME RUST AND DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPLACE SAFETY RECALL PARTS !

I PURCHASED A USED 2002 TOYOTA TACOMA IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 ONLY TO FIND OUT THE FRAME HAD SERIOUS RUST ISSUES. I FOUND OUT THROUGH MY OWN INVESTIGATION THAT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN TRADED IN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY KNEW IT HAD RUST ISSUES. THEY PROCEEDED TO SELL THE TRUCK AT AUCTION KNOWING IT COULD BE DANGEROUS! I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM A USED CAR DEALER. UPON BEING TOLD ABOUT THE FRAME RUST ISSUE BY MY MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED BY SERVICE RECALL. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR.

MY 2002 TACOMA FRAME IS SIMPLY RUSTING AWAY AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO GET ENGAGED TO RESOLVE WHAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. THE FRAME IS GETTING TO THE POINT OF COLLAPSE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS FRANKLY A CRIME. MYSELF AND MANY OTHER TACOMA OWNERS HAVE THIS EXACT ISSUE AND IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE NHTSA STEPS UP AND PREVENTS FRAME ROT HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING.

INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT FRAME HAD EXCESSIVE RUST/CORROSION AND TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP. CALLED DEALER SERVICE (TOYOTA OF DANVILLE, IL) AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS THEY QUIT REPAIRING THESE IN MARCH OF 2016. NO NOTICE OR RECALL WAS EVER SENT TO ME AND I WAS UNAWARE THERE WAS ANY PROBLEM UNTIL I GOT TRUCK BACK FROM MECHANIC. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A VEHICLE TOYOTA KNEW TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE FRAME, DID NOT NOTIFY ME TO RECTIFY OR ADVISE OF THE ISSUE, AND WILL NOT EFFECT ANY REPAIRS.
