TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 10V036000 (EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS) FOR THE INCORRECT LABELING. THE MANUFACTURER SENT HER THE CORRECT LABEL BUT THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT EXPLAIN IF THE LOADING CAPACITY WAS RELATED TO THE DOUBLE CAB, VEHICLE IN ITS ENTIRETY OR THE TIRES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 41,000.
FLOOR MAT ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA BACK IN MAR 2009 AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ISSUES WITH THIS. IT HAD SCARED THE '!@#$% OUT OF ME 4 OR 5 TIMES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. I JUST NOTED YOUR SITE HAD A REPORT SECTION AND WANTED TO ADD MY PROBLEMS TO THE REPORT. *TR
THE JACK THAT COMES WITH A TOYOTA TACOMA (2005 OR LATER) WITH THE OFF-ROAD PACKAGE DOES NOT WORK. THE JACK IS TOO SMALL TO REACH THE LOWEST POINT ON THE VEHICLE TO JACK THE TRUCK TO CHANGE A TIRE. TOYOTA DOES NOT ADVISE THE CUSTOMER UPON PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE THAT THE JACK IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE TRUCK. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY RESPONDED BY SAYING THEY HAD TESTED THE JACK WITH THE TIRE AND IT WORKED. I RESPONDED THAT THE STRUT AND LEAF SPRING COMBINATION ON THE VEHICLE RAISED THE VEHICLE HIGHER AND A STANDARD JACK WOULD NOT WORK. TOYOTA REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEY HAD PROVIDED A PRODUCT THAT WOULD NOT WORK WITH THEIR VEHICLE. POTENTIAL DANGER EXISTS IF THE OPERATOR IS UNAWARE OF THE JACK ISSUE AND SUFFERS A FLAT IN A REMOTE LOCATION AND HAS NO WAY OF CONTACTING ANYONE FOR ASSISTANCE. IT WOULD SEEM OBVIOUS THAT VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE EQUIPMENT THAT ACTUALLY WORKS WITH THE VEHICLE DESIGN. *TR
