Owner Complaints (5)
Your truck's frame has developed severe rust. This is a structural integrity issue that should be inspected and addressed by a professional, as rust can weaken the frame over time and affect safety. Repair will likely involve rust removal, treatment, and potentially welding or frame replacement depending on the extent of damage.

Your truck's horn has stopped working, and the cruise control only works intermittently. A repair shop diagnosed the problem as a faulty clock spring in your steering wheel. This is concerning because the clock spring also controls the airbag system, and you've heard that Toyota fixed this same issue on 2012 and newer Tacomas.

HORN HAS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. WILL ONLY WORK WHEN WHEEL IS TURNED OR WHEN VEHICLE IS IN THE OFF POSITION.
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON IN COLD TEMPERATURES THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND SHOWS A ERROR MESSAGE EVERY NOW AND THEN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE DOES IT, IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME REASON, THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED THEN BUT IT IS DOING IT AGAIN.
TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON 2005 TO 2011 TACOMA'S FOR REAR LEAF SPRINGS RUSTING OUT AND BREAKING. WHEN I CHECKED WITH THEM THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN THAT BE. I HAVE A 2011 TACOMA AND MY REAR LEAF SPRINGS ARE RUSTED AND NOW HAVE BROKEN. ONLY 51000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. WHAT DOES MY VIN NUMBER HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS. THEY HAVE STATED THAT THESE VEHICLES HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RUST AND BREAKAGE OF REAR LEAF SPRINGS THAT COULD CAUSE THE BROKEN PIECE OF SPRING HITTING THE GAS TANK. I FEEL BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS IN THE DATE SPECIFIED IT SHOULD BE COVERED. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HERE.
