Complaint
1998
STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
TL*- THE CONTACT HAS ASKED FOR THE EXACT VERBIAGE OF HIS EMAIL ENTERED AS HIS COMPLAINT: TOYOTA HAS INSTITUTED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM FOR 1995-2000 TOYOTA TACOMAS FOR FRAME RUST. TOYOTA IS BUYING BACK THE TRUCKS BECAUSE OF SAFETY PROBLEMS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS RESULTING FROM COLLAPSING FRAMES THAT HAVE RUSTED OUT. THEY ARE DOING THIS TO AVOID A NHTSA RECALL. MY TRUCK HAS A TITLE THAT LISTS PRIOR DAMAGE, AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE MY TRUCK BACK. THEY CLAIM THAT THE TRUCK HAS BEEN ALTERED. THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED USING TOYOTA TACOMA FACTORY PARTS, AND NOT AFTERMARKET PARTS. THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED IN YEAR 2002, BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANY CHOSE NOT TO SPEND THE MONEY ON REPAIRS. IF MY TRUCK WAS NEWER, THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD HAVE SPENT THE MONEY ON REPAIRS, THE REPAIR WOULD NOT APPEAR ON THE TITLE, AND TOYOTA WOULD QUALIFY THIS TRUCK FOR BUY BACK. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY TRUCK AND A NEWER TRUCK RECEIVING THE SAME REPAIR IS THAT ONE IS OLDER THAN THE OTHER, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY CHOSE TO REPAIR THE NEWER VEHICLE. MY 1998 TACOMA WAS PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED AND INSPECTED BY THE MASSACHUSETTS POLICE. THE TRUCK LOOKS BRAND NEW EXCEPT FOR THE FRAME RUST. I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA IS TRYING TO AVOID A NHTSA RECALL BY THIS WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM. STILL, THERE ARE MANY VEHICLES LIKE MINE ON THE ROADS WITH FRAME RUST WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT THAT TOYOTA CHOOSES TO IGNORE. UPDATED 07/15/08 *BF UPDATED 07/15/08

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BRAKES ON MY 2009 TOYOTA DOUBLE CAB ARE VERY SPONGY AND DOWN RIGHT SCARY. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF DRIVING THE BRAKES BECOME VERY SOFT, THE HEIGHT OF THE PEDAL DECREASES AND THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT BEFORE IT FINALLY COMES TO A RESTING STOP. THE VEHICLE STOPS ONLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED INCHES AWAY FROM THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP WHEN LOADED WITH CARGO OR TRAVELING DOWN HILL. SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED IT LUNGES FORWARD EVEN WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I'VE BEEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR 15 YEARS OR MORE WHICH HAS ALLOWED ME TO PARTICIPATE IN NUMEROUS DRIVING COURSES. I'VE ALSO BEEN DRIVING SINCE THE AGE OF SIXTEEN,DURING THAT TIME I'VE OWNED MANY CARS AND TRUCKS INCLUDING TOYOTA. MY TACOMA HAS THE WORSE BRAKES OF ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. MY DRIVING EXPERIENCE HAS ALLOWED ME TO AVOID NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS THAT MY TACOMA HAS PRESENTED. I'M AFRAID MY TACOMA WILL PRESENT ME WITH A SITUATION IN WHICH MY SKILLS WANT MATTER. *TR
