| 1995 | POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY | THE FAILURE OF THIS BRACKET (FRACTURED AT TOP LEFT CORNER) PREVENTED COMPLETE DISENGAGEMENT OF THE ENGINE FROM TRANSMISSION, MAKING STOPPING DIFFICULT, NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, THIS FAILURE RESULTED IN THE INABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE, AS THE SAFETY START SWITCH CAN NO LONGER BE OPERATED BY DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. AS A TEMPORARY FIX, I HAD TO JUMP OUT THE SWITCH TO USE THE VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS COULD BE MADE. THE NEW BRACKET IS DIFFERENT IN DESIGN FROM THE ORIGINAL, INDICATING THAT TOYOTA RECOGNIZES THE FAULT WITH THE ORIGINAL UNIT. DT |
| 1996 | STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS | SUDDEN BREAK IN CLUTCH SUPPORT BRACKET. CAUSED VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY MOVE WITHOUT ABILITY TO CONTROL. THE BREAKAGE OF THIS BRACKET WAS CAUSED BY A DESIGN DEFECT, AND NOT BY USE OR LACK OF MAINTAINANCE. DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER ADMITTED THAT THIS BRACKET NEVER SHOULD HAVE BROKEN. HAVE DETAILED PHOTOS AND THE ORIGINAL BROKEN PART. THE NEW PART HAS BEEN REDESIGNED, BUT DEALER SAYS MANUFACTURER HAS TOLD THEM NOTHING ABOUT ANY ONGOING PROBLEMS. *AK |
