2009 Toyota Tacoma Other Problems

Your truck's frame has developed rust and corrosion damage from salt exposure, including holes forming in the frame itself. This is a structural integrity issue that can affect your vehicle's safety and longevity. Addressing this will likely require rust removal, repair of the affected frame areas, and protective coating to prevent further corrosion.

In 2017, I participated in Toyotas frame recall where they determined that the frame didn’t need to be replaced and the dealership applied corrosion resistant undercoating. The frame has now developed a large 11inch visible crack and holes that will prevent it from passing state safety inspection. I contacted Toyota about the failure but they said they were unable to address it as this time due to the recall no longer being active and encouraged me to file a report with NHTSA

I went to get my Tacoma inspected and it failed so to rust and corrosion of the frame. I was unaware that the frame recall was time sensitive and now my truck is in safe to drive because of the bad frame.

I brought in my 2009 Tacoma for a muffler replacement. The mechanic showed me the front right passenger side frame of the vehicle is rotting out.

TOOK VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE FRAME IS SEVERELY RUSTED.

FRAME HAS A LOT OF RUST, WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF IT BREAKS. DEALER AND TOYOTA STATES THAT THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALLS.

I PURCHASED MY 2009 TACOMA IN AUG OF 2015. I TRIED TO CONTACT HTTP://WWW.TOYOTA.COM/RECALL TO CHECK ON ANY RECALLS THAT MY HAVE EFFECTED MY TRUCK. I TRIED MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES TO SIGN UP, BUT WHEN I INPUTED MY VIN#, THE SITE WOULD ONLY SHOW A SPINNING BALL. I TRIED TO CALL THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED AND IT WAS ALWAYS BUSY. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS I STOPPED TRYING UNTIL RECENTLY THIS YEAR (2016) . I SEE NOW THAT THEY HAVE UPDATED THE SITE AND I CAN NOW SEE MY VIN#. THIS IS GREATLY DISTURBING BECAUSE THE RECALL WHICH WOULD HAVE EFFECTED MY TRUCK HAD A SUNSET DATE OF NOV. 30, 2015. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT FAULTY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

THIS VEHICLE IS 7 YEARS OLD AND 2 YEARS AGO THE READOUT SCREEN FOR THE COMPASS AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE FAILED!! I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID TOYOTA HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CHIP BOARDS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED! I SPENT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE A VEHICLE WITH THESE FEATURES AND NOW IT'S NOT FUNCTIONING! MAKES ME MAD!! GET THIS COMPONENT UNDER RECALL, IT'S REALLY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE! I WOULD HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT SOONER BUT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE.

MY KEYS KEEP FALLING OUT OF THE KEY SOCKET... WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS .. HAS GONE ON FOR 2-3 YEARS NOW... ALSO HAVE, MANY TIMES, TAKEN THE KEY OUT AFTER PARKING IT AND NOT NOTICED THAT VEHICLE STILL RUNNING... THE LAST TIME BOTH PROBLEMS OCCURRED WAS YESTERDAY.

2009 TOYOTA TACOMA. CONSUMER STATES THAT HE RECEIVED AN UNDATED RECALL NOTICE. HE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW NHTSA COULD APPROVE THEM TO SEND OUT AN UNDATED RECALL NOTICE. *KB

2009 TOYOTA TACOMA RECALL. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED TOYOTA'S SOLUTION WAS TO ATTACH THE FLOOR MAT PERMANENTLY AND THAT THE ONLY WAY IT COULD BE REMOVED WOULD BE CUTTING IT OUT. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT WAS NOT A SOLUTION IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM AND WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SUCH A SOLUTION WOULD REQUIRE THE OWNER TO REPLACE THE FLOOR MATS ON A REGULAR BASIS AS THEY COULD NOT BE CLEANED WHEN PERMANENTLY ATTACHED. THE PROPER WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WOULD BE TO REMOVE ALL THE FLOOR MATS AND CARPET, INSTALL A SINGLE FLOOR COVERING THAT WOULD BE PERMANENTLY ATTACH TO THE ENTIRE FLOOR OF THE CAB. IN THE AREA OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THERE COULD BE NO IRREGULARITIES THAT WOULD CATCH AND HOLD THE DEPRESSED PEDAL. *JB
