TOYOTA IMPOUNDED MY 2016 VEHICLE OVER 3 WEEKS AGO ON A RECALL AND THE DEALER AND CORPORATE HAVE TOLD ME ON A FEW OCCASIONS THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE IN IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO RECEIVE THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE TELLING THE CONSUMER THAT THEY HAVE NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER. MY TRUCK IS PAID FOR AND I WANT IT BACK.IT'S NOW SITTING IN THEIR BACK LOT IN THE 110 DEGREE HEAT OF ARIZONA. IS TOYOTA GOING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR ME ON THE PAINT SINCE THE DUST IS JUST BAKING ON IN THE SUMMER SUN? THERE SEEMS TO BE A CULTURE OF DECEIT GOING ON AT TOYOTA TO PROTECT THERE BOTTOM LINE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THEIR NONCHALANT ATTITUDE TOWARDS THEIR CONSUMERS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY SOMEONE WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

TOYOTA SERVCO MAPUNPUNA SAID THEY WILL BE KEEPING MY TRUCK FOR UP TO, IF NOT MORE, THEN 2 MONTHS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I NEED MY TRUCK AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE IT BEING IN THE SALT WATER ELEMENTS, WITHOUT COVERING FOR UP TO 2 MONTHS OR MORE. I WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER IF YOU/COMPANY PROVIDED A TRUCK COVER TO GO OVER MY TRUCK BECAUSE I PAID EXTRA MONEY, THROUGH TOYOTA, TO HAVE A SPECIAL COATING ON THE TRUCK TO PROTECT IT FROM THE ELEMENTS. I WASH THE TRUCK EVERY 1 1/2 TO 2 WEEKS SO THAT ELEMENTS DO NOT RUIN THE COATING ON MY TRUCK. SO UP TO 2 MONTHS OR MORE TO FIX A SLIGHT LEAK IS RIDICULOUS BEYOND BELIEF.

I TOOK MY TACOMA WITH 15619 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IN FOR THE LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL CHECK ON MAY 2, 2017 AT A TOYOTA DEALER. THEY PERFORMED THE TOYOTA SPECIFIED RECALL BY CHECKING FOR LEAKS AND APPARENTLY FOUND NONE AND RE TIGHTENED THE FASTENERS. ON JUNE 27 I WAS CHECKING THE TACOMA PRIOR TO OUR LEAVING ON VACATION AND NOTICED SEEPAGE ON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN 3 LOCATIONS. I EMAILED TOYOTA WITH MY CONCERN. I INFORMED THEM I WOULD BE TAKING MY TACOMA TO THE DEALER ON JUNE 28, 2017 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I TOOK THE TACOMA ON JUNE 28, 2017 TO 2NDTOYOTA DEALER. I INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISOR OF MY CONCERN WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE MASTER TECH LOOKED AT IT. I FOLLOWED UP WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE BY PHONE INFORMED THEM OF MY CONCERNS AND WAS ADVISED TO SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE MGR. AND I DID. AFTER THE TECH HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE TACOMA I WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED. THE SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS TO REPAIR MY TACOMA AND I COULD HAVE USE OF A TRUCK ON LOAN FROM THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL MY TACOMA COULD BE REPAIRED. I RETURNED FROM VACATION MY TRUCK WAS NOT REPAIRED WAS TOLD TOYOTA WAS HAVING SOME TYPE OF ISSUE BECAUSE 1ST DEALER HAD ALL READY PERFORMED THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THE TACOMA BEGIN LEAKING AND THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED INITIALLY. I AM CONFUSED AS IT STILL SHOULD BE A WARRANTY COVERED ISSUE EVEN IF ANOTHER DEALER HAD ALL READY DID A RECALL. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AGREED AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO GET THE TRUCK REPAIRED. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT THE 1ST DEALER DID THE RECALL CORRECTLY AND THE DIFFERENTIAL FAILED BECAUSE OF SUBSTANDARD PARTS OR DESIGN AFTER THE FIRST RECALL WAS DONE. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY TACOMA IS POTENTIALLY A RISK OF CRASH AS NOTED IN THE OFFICIAL TOYOTA RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE JUNE 28TH 2017 OR 15 DAYS AND COUNTING.

I TOOK MY TACOMA TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR OIL/SERVICE, I WAS ADVISED OF A SAFETY RELATED RECALL (H0G) THEY ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL CORRECTED, GAVE ME A "LOANER". I'VE YET TO GET AN ASSESSMENT AND RETURN DATE. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO NOT BE GETTING INFORMATION FROM THE CORPORATE OFFICE. I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE TO ASK WHAT MY OPTIONS WERE. (REFUND, REPLACEMENT, ETC) I TOLD THEM I WAS AWARE OF A "LEMON LAW" . THE REP GOT KIND OF SHORT WITH ME, SAID I WOULD BE HEARING FROM THEIR LEGAL DEPT. AFTER 2 WEEKS NO RESPONSE, I CALLED BACK. THEY SAID IT COULD BE 30-45 DAYS BEFORE GETTING A RESPONSE. CONCERNS I HAVE ARE: 1) MY VEHICLE JUST SETTING THERE NOT BEING DRIVEN DEVELOPING MORE PROBLEMS I'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH. 2) A "BLACK MARK" ON ITS RESALE VALUE. 3) TOYOTA TRYING TO FORCE ME INTO A "LOW BALL" SETTLEMENT. THE DEALER HAS BEEN FAIR AS POSSIBLE SO FAR BUT THEY SEEM TO BE IN A VOID REGARDING THE RECALL FROM THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE. I ALMOST HAVE THE VEHICLE PAID OFF AND NOT LOOKING FORWARD STARTING OVER OR GETTING INVOLVED IN A LEGAL PROCEEDING. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
