Complaint
2003
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
IN JANUARY 2006, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA RE: BALL JOINTS ON OUR 2003 TACOMA. I SCHEDULED WITH THE DEALER AND THEY WERE ALL REPLACED. CHRISTMAS DAY OF 2007, I EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE BALL JOINTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE. BOTH UPPER AND LOWER SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH. AND, THE WHEEL PRETTY MUCH SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. (VEHICLE STOPPED WITHOUT INJURY). VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND ALL FOUR BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE IS A 2003 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH 74,0000 MILES. MILEAGE ON TOYOTA-REPLACED BALL JOINTS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE THAN ABOUT 20,000 MILES WHEN THEY FAILED. *TR

3-5-2013 TACOMA 2012 TRD 4X4 AUTOMATIC NEW, I NOTICED A VIBRATION ON ACCELERATION IN 1ST GEAR THROUGH 2ND GEAR IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF PURCHASE. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF MY JOB TRAVEL AND JUST BEING LAZY I NEVER DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE UNTIL RECENTLY. THE 1ST TIME I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALER WAS 31 JAN 2013 13,433 MI. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE VIBRATION AND SAID TOYOTA WILL ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH A THREE TIER FIX. 1. THEY ORDERED ENGINE MOUNTS PER TSB. 2. FEB 2013 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK THEY INSTALLED THE MOUNTS, DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. AS PART OF THIS TIER FIX, WHILE IN FOR REPAIR THEY ALSO REPLACED REAR SPRING ASSY. RIGHT & LEFT AND THE FINAL STEP 3. REPLACING STEERING WHEEL DAMPER SHA PER TSB. THE DEALER SAID ALL THIS DID NOT HELP. 28 FEB 2013 14,325 MI, I RETURNED AFTER PUTTING MORE MILES ON THIS TROUBLED VEHICLE. THIS TIME THEY REMOVED THE DRIVE SHAFT AND DROVE THE VEHICLE IN 4WD AND VIBRATION GONE. THEY INSTALLED A DRIVE SHAFT FROM A NEW TACOMA 2013 AND THE VIBRATION RETURNED. THEY SAID THEY CREATED A TAS CASE #. THE ( PRODUCT ENGINEER) ?? SAID THIS VIBRATION IS NORMAL AND CANNOT BE FIXED AT THIS TIME AND IS UNDER REVIEW. I MUST SAY THAT MY DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY ACCOMMODATING KUDOS-KUDOS. I FEEL THAT ANY VIBRATION IN THE DRIVE TRAIN OF ANY VEHICLE CANNOT BE CONSIDERED NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WITH TOYOTA FOR A WHILE SO IT SEEMS AND I ASK WHY, WHY,WHY. TOYOTA KNOWS THE ABOVE FIXES DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN ANY WAY. SO WHY ARE THEY STILL DOING IT ??
