The consumer purchased the vehicle on May 31, 2005 and says the air from the engine was entering the cab of vehicle. This happens every time he uses the vent. It has been doing this from the day he bought it. He said he couldn't figure out why the vented air was so hot. Dealer will not return his calls and say the problem is consistent with the vehicle. Manufacturer says they will look at the vehicle. Caller can't get a loaner vehicle while his is being looked at. The consumer was told the problem can't be fixed because it is an engineering defect and is not easy to fix. The consumer was concerned about the fumes being inhaled into his lungs.
This is not really a safety defect as it is just a problem with the paint on my brand new vehicle. I own a 2005 Toyota Tacoma access cab with the offroad package and only 2 months after I bought the vehicle I noticed some severe paint chipping on my vehicle. After 4 months I am still no further ahead with the problem then what I was at the beginning.
