I will try to give you as concise statement of my complaint as possible, however, I have copies I sent to the manufacturer and others that I'm willing to furnish you if requested. On 3/18/21, I wrote to Toyota's Executive VP, Chief Quality Officer, [XXX], stating my compliance with their notice of 7/9/15, requiring frame inspection, significant perforation not found, therefore they applied CRC corrosion resistant compound to my frame. As NO critical problem was noted, I felt I was good until during a later inspection was performed and rated more attention. On 3/29/21 during my next oil change I noted on a notation on an unusual service bill, typewritten not the usual custom printed type, a notation that I have 2 holes, approx. 3.5" on my frame, use caution if driving". At this time I found there was an open class action suit against Toyota. Toyota advised me that since I had not responded to more than one notification I was not included in the suit. I replied that "I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY SUCH NOTATION". As they did not send receipt requested or certified, I neither could prove sent or not received. I asked for consideration based on that to which, was denied. I have written also to CT Attorney General, CT US Senator, Blumenthal, with only the Attorney General's office stating Toyota's response was negative. I realize this is a late request, I was not aware of his avenue. I have Certified copies of each request for help, which I am more than happy to copy and send to you if you will try to help me right Toyota's wrong. I'm an 89 year old male just trying to right a wrong I believe done to me. I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA!, If I had, I would not be so persistent. I send my letters CERTIFIED, they should have had to also, could have solved this problem earlier. Please help me, thank you.

The frame is rusted so bad. The dealer wouldn-€™t replace due to the vehicle being registered in Florida as it-€™s not one of the states affected. But my Toyota came from a Pennsylvania dealer first then shipped to Florida after years of being in Pennsylvania and not having an issue up there. Now I-€™m stuck with a truck I can-€™t sell or fix. It-€™s not right. Where is the quality control on this.

My frame rusted and broke into where spring hanger bolts to the frame. They are saying n was recalled but time has ran out but I did not receive a recall notice as we moved to another area of the state ( Ashtabula) where we bought a shop for our oilfield business then we moved to ( Cambridge ) and are now renting our first home from my daughter who bought it in New Concord. Sad thing is we had it to repair shop and had new steering, power steering pump, new front axles and no one said hey you should look at this frame it is rotten and I have a picture I can send you if you'd like.So it is totally broke into and the spring hanger is not attached and pushed the bed up and the driver nearly wrecked and we had to haul it back on a trailer.

Broken rear leaf spring assembly: This problem has been known in Toyota since the first generation Tacoma but worse in the second generation. The leaf springs aren't properly equipped to handle the towing capacity outlined in the owner's manual and will crack, flatten, or break under too much weight. I was told by the dealer that it needed replaced on 11/7/2016. Toyota addressed this issue in 2007 by releasing a tsb stating that they'd replace the springs on any second-gen Tacoma still under warranty. I bought mine in 2006. I have lived in the same location for over 25 years. Consumer discovered dealership did perform the repairs and would like complaint to be cancelled.

This should be a mandatory recall. This is dangerous and should be looked at that way people have had their frames broken in half. The worst damage on mine is driver's side up front there is also rust near the rear my truck recently had rear springs replaced on a recall. They should have noticed it they said nothing about it, the front tires have been replaced several times at the same dealership should have been easy to notice the damage at front didn't mention it. Thank you tony baggett.

This vehicle is covered in the Toyota rusty frame lawsuit. As such, it has been inspected by 2 different dealers and deemed not to need a frame replacement both times. It was treated with crc. Its last inspection was in November of 2018. On Sunday, May 17th, 2020, the frame broke at the front cross-member causing the left front lower control arm to separate and steering the vehicle/controlling the vehicle became near impossible. Fortunately for me, this happened in a parking lot backing out of a parking space and turning left (in reverse at low speed) after a full 2 weeks of driving in the mountains of West Virginia. I question all inspections of frames being performed within the Toyota dealer network and hope that nobody has this failure while they are driving at speed as the results will be catastrophic.

The subject vehicles' rear suspension system contains leaf springs that are constructed of either three or four leaves. There is a possibility that a leaf could fracture due to stress and corrosion. If this occurs and the vehicle continues to be operated, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components, including the fuel tank. Safety risk: If the broken leaf contacts the fuel tank repeatedly, it could puncture the tank and cause a fuel leak. In the presence of an ignition source, this could result in a fire. Remedy: Toyota will replace the leaf springs with newly designed ones. It has been repaired I need to have it shipped off island asap

Rear leaf spring, recall: 14V-604. On July 10th of 2016 I made a call to elk grove Toyota in regards to the recall. The service writer ask me if my truck had a level kit installed " I told him yes, 2'. he told me it voided the recall.

In different parts of the states and country. I called again on 3/25/19 to elk grove Toyota again and was told the same. My recall is void because of the level kit. The dealership is in elk grove, ca. If they won't perform the recall is there a way I can have another shop perform the recall and Toyota paid them " please advice
