A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was driving down the road, I lost control of my vehicle and crashed into a concrete wall with the right rear end of my vehicle. I was seat belted in my vehicle. When the vehicle came to a final rest, then is when my seat belt popped (unlatched). I did not injury my body. However, I do not feel confortable knowing that my belt did not hold me. Will it hold me, god forbid that I have another collision going faster than 55 MPH?( DOT number: )
The engine started knocking at around 65,000 to 70,000 miles. Toyota has a 5yr/60,000 mile warranty. I contacted toyota and they would not stand behind their product. They find it acceptable for an engine to be rebult or replaced at cost to the cosumer of $3000 to $5000 dollars. Any help with this cosumer problem will be greatly apprciated..
Tire tread separated from tire causing damage to the wheel well and body/ after incident occured the tire continued to retain full air pressure and still does to this date. The truck is in the repair shop damage is my estimated cost( DOT number: 7b8pub tire size: 30x9.50r15 )
My frame rusted through on the right side and the front axle bracket separated from the frame. The vehicle drove erraticaly until the bracket came to rest in the hole it left in the frame. Upon inspection the frame is rusted from the bracket forward to underneath the passenger seat.
Severe rust perforation occurring in frame of vehicle ( 1993 toyota pick-up) toyota customer service informed me nothing could be done for this year of vehicle.( complaint ref. No. 1001130208 filed with toyota customer service on 1/21/10 ) ----program is in place for 1995 - 2005 trucks with same problem. Just wanted to inform the NHTSA that earlier model trucks are experiencing the same issues.
