STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 TOYOTA TACOMA. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE FRAME, WHICH SHE HAD OBSERVED WAS SLIGHTLY RUSTED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS THOROUGHLY RUSTED AND WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE LOT. THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS REPLACED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR FRAME RUST PERFORATION ON MODEL TRUCKS IN SEVERE COLD CLIMATE AREAS WITH HIGH ROAD SALT USE (NHTSA ITEM NUMBER : 10027968: SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER : TCS-08-018). AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST, THE VEHICLE WAS USING MORE GAS THAN BEFORE AND SHE COULD LITERALLY WATCH THE FUEL GAUGE MOVING CLOSER TO EMPTY AS SHE PROCEEDED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IDLE PROPERLY AND WAS EXHIBITING A "BUCKING" GESTURE AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, A PERSONAL MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE 02 SENSOR WAS HANGING FROM THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXHIBIT THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY STATED THE SENSOR WAS IN THE SAME PLACE AS WHEN SHE FIRST BROUGHT THE VEHICLE. NO FURTHER REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 126,000. UPDATED 4/30/10 *CN THE O2 SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 07/15/10.*JB

REFERENCING MY 2008 4.0L SIX-CYLINDER TOYOTA TACOMA WITH DEMAND 4X4, 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND TRD SPORT PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES A LIMITED SLIP REAR DIFFERENTIAL, I EXPERIENCED AN UNANTICIPATED UNEXPLAINABLE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. NOTE THAT THE TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE A USER CONTROLLABLE TORQUE LIMITING OR TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SLOWLY TRAVERSE A GRASSY SURFACE WHILE IN TWO-WHEEL DRIVE THE VEHICLE INVOLUNTARILY CAME TO A STANDSTILL. THE ENGINE HAD LOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO MOVE. THE REAR WHEELS DID NOT SUFFER ANY LOSS OF TRACTION IN OTHER WORDS THEY DID NOT LOSE TRACTION AND SPIN AND COULD NOT BE MADE TO SPIN. APPLYING FULL THROTTLE DID NOT HELP; ALTHOUGH NOT MISFIRING WHILE RUNNING SMOOTHLY, THE ENGINE LACKED MEANINGFUL POWER AND WOULD NOT GAIN ANY SIGNIFICANT RPMS UNDER ANY THROTTLE POSITION. THERE WERE NO ABNORMAL GAUGE READINGS OR INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING A PROBLEM. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT WORKING THE TRUCK FREE BY GOING FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT ONTO PAVEMENT BUT, WHILE ON THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT A GROSS LOSS OF POWER AND HAD DIFFICULTY ATTAINING EVEN 40 MPH. AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE FAULT EVENTUALLY CLEARED AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL ENERGETIC SELF. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE RETURNED TO NORMAL (AND IT WAS SUNDAY) IT WAS NOT TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP. ON ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION, I CONNECTED A OBD2 DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO THE VEHICLE BUT NO TROUBLE CODE WAS INDICATED. (THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF WATER IN THE VEHICLE'S GASOLINE AND THE GASOLINE WAS FRESH AND OF PROPER OCTANE; THE ENGINE OR IGNITION SYSTEM WERE NOT WET. NO POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR THE POWER LOSS WERE OBSERVED.) AN UNEXPLAINED LOSS OF ENGINE POWER IN A MOVING VEHICLE CAN PROVE DISASTROUS IF NOT DANGEROUS. ATTEMPTS AT CONTACTING TOYOTA IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY A CAUSE AND REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM HAVE PROVEN FUTILE. *TR
