Bought the truck new from dealer in austin, tx. Carried in yesterday for tire rotation at american tire and was told the truck had the wrong lug nuts on the wheels and it was unsafe to drive from shop. I purchased new wheels so I could safely drive the truck. I called Toyota and explained the situation to them and was given a case number. I was told I need to carry it to a dealer and let them see the wheels also. The in modesto ca agreed that the truck had the wrong lugs on it but said the wheels was probably ok to use as long as they had the proper lug nuts on them. I called Toyota back and ask them to make the truck right and that I was quoted $341.49 for correct parts at modesto, ca dealership. Toyota told me theirs not enough history on the truck of dealers maintaining it and with the age of the truck they wasn't willing to do anything.my family and I having been driving this truck for years and could have had a tire come off with the wrong lug nuts. All I ask for was to make the truck safe and reimburse me for the cost of the after market wheels which was $150.
The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Tacoma. The contact noticed that the rear passenger wheel was corroded and the subframe underneath the wheel was fractured. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the contact was unaware of what was being diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Hi, I just want to express my concern for my vehicle as I love my Tacoma and how it drives and works for me in my daily life. As I had took my vehicle in for a recall on my spare tire cable, the technician and service man had told me that in my frame of my vehicle there is a large rusted out hole. Since then, I really haven't felt safe driving my vehicle anywhere as I'm afraid that my frame will break and cause a really bad accident. I've also have had in the past where my dad's vehicle (1998 Toyota Tacoma) was recalled for the same exact thing (frame issue). As for my vehicle, I am the second owner and my brother was the first. This vehicle has been here in the Minnesota weather all its life time. Please do something about this, if not, I will push this forward where I will get some attention to my vehicle, my safety, and others. And plus, I wouldn't want to make this into a legal matter as I love my Toyota.
Loss of spare tire assembly due to rust Toyota will not replace wheel assembly will replace the rusted tire holder but not the tire Toyota replaced the frame on a recall and did not replace the rusted spare tire holder this is negligence on the part of Toyota someone may have been killed when the spare tire came loose on the highway at 55 mph.
