1995 TOYOTA TACOMA Suspension Problems

YES I WROTE AWHILE BACK ABOUT MY BALL JOINT SNAPPING IN HALF GOING 55. IT WAS THE LOWER ONE BUT IT WASN'T WHERE THE BALL JOINT WAS IT WAS THE METAL PART ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF FROM WHERE THE BALL JOINT WAS. DUE TO RUST. THE MAN WHOM I FINALLY FOUND WHO BOUGHT IT NEW SAID HE NEVER RECEIVED ANY KIND OF NOTICE ABOUT THE RUST ON THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 180,000

YES I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA TACOMA ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 55MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE. THIS CAUSED MY SHUT TO SNAP IN HALF ALSO CAUSED THE CONTROL ARM TO BREAK. WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SO BAD HAD THE TRUCK NOT BEEN SO RUSTY. NOW FACING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM BEING COVERED IN RUST. AND THE LEAF SPRINGS ARE ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING OFF THE FRAME DUE TO RUST. THE PERSON I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM SAID HE HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANY KIND OF NOTICE OF THE RUST RECALL. SEEMS KINDA FUNNY TO ME ONLY 25% OF THE OWNERS OF TOYOTAS WERE NOTIFIED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE RUST ISSUE. THANK GOD IM STILL ALIVE. HE IS THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME. I WILL DIG OUT ALL OF MY RECEIPTS AND ULAD THEM VERY SOON.

I WANT TO ADD THIS COMPLAINT WITH MY PREVIOUS ONE ODI #[XXX] ON 12/30/1013 I SPOKE TO SUPERVISOR [XXX] FROM TOYOTA CORP.AT 1-800-331-4331. TOYOTA CASE #[XXX]. SHE SAID THEY ARE DONE WITH THIS AND I HAVE TO FILE COMPLAINTS OUTSIDE OF TOYOTA . I TOLD HER I DID WITH SAFERCAR.GOV. SHE ACTED LIKE I HAVEN'T . I HAVE THE PDF 34 PAGE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICES , CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM - WARRANTY COVERAGE EXTENSION FOR FRAME RUST CORROSION PERFORATION ON CERTAIN 1995-2000 MY TACOMA DOCUMENTS. SIGNED BY [XXX] IN 2008. I FAXED PAGE 2 TO [XXX] ON 12/23/2013. NO. 3 APPLICATION PERIOD THAT STATES " THE WARRANTY EXTENSION IS OFFERED FOR A PERIOD OF 15 YEARS WITH NO MILEAGE LIMITATIONS FROM THE VEHICLE'S IN-SERVICE DATE, FOR PERFORATION OF THE VEHICLE'S FRAME CAUSED BY RUST CORROSION." THAT MEANS 15 YEARS FROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS IN-SERVICE DATE FOR FRAME WAS INSPECTED FOR RUST CORROSION." WE HAVE OWNED THIS TACOMA SINCE 1/26/1998 WAY BEFORE THIS PROGRAM STATED SO WE QUALIFY FOR THE WHOLE PROGRAM. WE HAVE BEEN REFUSED THIS PROGRAM FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. TOYOTA REFUSES IT'S OWN SAFETY PROGRAM WHICH THE SAY THEIR FIRST PRIORITY IS SAFETY. FRAME RUST CORROSION FAILURE IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT TOYOTA IS COVERING UP, SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY OUT. YET TOYOTA SPENDS ALL KINDS AMOUNTS OF MONEY IN RACING AND REFUSES TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR TOYOTA'S BAD FRAMES THAT ARE STILL ON PRODUCTION VEHICLES,ON THE ROAD FORM RUST CORROSION AND WILL OR HAS ALREADY FAILED. TOYOTA SUED AND WON $25 MILLION FROM DANA CORP FOR BAD FRAMES. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU CASE #[XXX] . TOYOTA DOES NOTHING BUT CONTINUALLY ARGUE,REFUSES EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PERMANENT REPAIRS AND TRIES TO SCAM US OUT OF OUR MONEY. TOYOTA IS PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVES FRAMES FAIL GOING 50 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I PUT MY TACOMA IN REVERSE AND HEARD A SNAP AND CLUNK FROM FRONT AND REAR. FRONT RIGHT SUSPENSION RUSTED THROUGH, BROKE AND RIGHT REAR SHOCK. LOCAL REPAIR SHOP SAID RUSTED THROUGH, BROKE, THEY CAN'T ADJUST CASTER SETTING ON FRONT ALIGNMENT BECAUSE NUTS ARE RUSTED SOLID CAN'T REMOVE NUTS . PULLS TO THE RIGHT, STEERING WHEEL IS TO RIGHT. FRAME IS ALSO VERY RUSTED AND MIGHT FAIL BEFORE TOO LONG. MY WIFE AND I TOOK MY TACOMA TO TOYOTA DEALER IN 2010 TO HAVE $2,342.21 WORTH OF SERVICES DONE. REPAIRS NOT DONE CORRECTLY AND PERMANANTLY. WE TOOK IT BACK TWICE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST US $1,900.00 TO REPLACE CONDENSER FOR LEAK . WE PAID $250 TO HAVE LEAK REPAIRED TO BEGIN WITH OTHER REPEATED CHARGES . MY ONLINE HISTORY SAYS $520.00 TO FIX LEAK . TOYOTA SERVICE REP DID NOTHING BUT TRY TO OVERCHARGE AND RECHARGE US FOR REPAIRS WE PAID FOR AND REFUSED TO CORRECT THE REPAIRS WE PAID FOR . TOYOTA DEALER INSPECTED MY TACOMA FRAME AND DECLARED IT GOOD IN 2010, REFUSED TO UNDERCOAT MY FRAME. THREE YEARS LATTER 2010 IN 2013 FRAME IS EXTREMELY RUSTED. TOYOTA REFUSES TO BUYBACK OR REPLACE FRAME. WE BOUGHT TACOMA IN 1998 BEFORE FRAME RUST PROGRAM BEGINNING IN 2008. SECOND OWNER, NEVER RECEIVED RECALL OR EXTENDED FRAME RUST WARRANTY LETTERS. WE WERE TOLD THERE WASN'T RECALL OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEED TO BE DONE IN 2010.

I PURCHASED A 1995 TOYOTA TACOMA NEW AND HAVE OWNED IT SINCE. I HAD IT SERVICED LAST WEEK AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE FRAME AND SUSPENSION WAS HEAVILY ROTTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE. IT HAD MAJOR STRUCTURE DAMAGE ON THE WELDS AT THE FRONT,MIDDLE,AND REAR OF THE FRAME ON BOTH SIDES. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE SUSPENSION WAS HEAVILY ROTTED TO THE POINT WHERE HE ASKED ME IF I HAD A BOAT AND USED THE TRUCK IN SALT WATER WHICH I DON'T. AT THIS POINT, I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE CASE NUMBER 1308142650. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT MY ISSUE. I PAID 30K FOR THIS TRUCK AND WISH I NEVER PURCHASED IT DUE TO THE SHODDY MANUFACTURING PROCESS TOYOTA USED MAKING THIS VEHICLE. IN 2008, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO BOCH TOYOTA TO HAVE THE FRAME INSPECTED AND THEY SAID IT WAS OK BUT MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO GO TO THE DEALER BECAUSE HE SAID THE FRAME WAS ROTTING AT A VERY FAST PACE. I HAVE READ ALOT OF REPORTS OF FRAME ROT AFTER THE 15 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY TOYOTA OFFERED AND FEEL THEY NEED TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND CONTINUE COVERING THEIR PRODUCTS DUE TO THE DEFECT IN THEIR MANUFACTURING PROCESS. SIGNED, VERY UNHAPPY TOYOTA TACOMA OWNER!!!!!!!! *TR

MY SON CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS INFORMED THAT TOYOTA IS NO LONGER DOING ANYTHING TO CHECK OR FIX BAD FRAMES.I LOOKED UNDER MY VEHICLE AND THE FRAME SEEMED OK,SO I CONTINUED USING THE VEHICLE.WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY NINE MONTHS LATTER,I HEARD A BANGING NOISE LIKE TWO PIECES OF METAL WERE HITTING.I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND STARTED LOOKING AROUND.I FOUND THE FRAME ABOVE THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL HAD BROKE THRU DUE TO RUST.I CALLED TOYOTA TO FIND OUT WHY I WAS NEVER SENT A RECALL ABOUT THIS RUSTY FRAME PROBLEM.IF I HAD RECEIVED THIS NOTICE ,MY SELF AND OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN JEOPARDIZED. TOYOTAS REPLY WAS THAT THEY HAD SENT A RECALL.WITH THIS I STARTED CHECKING DIFFERENT WEB SITES ON THIS MATTER,ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT,THEY NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE . I FEEL TOYOTA DID NOT DO WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF THERE CUSTOMERS AND THE PUBLIC. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED , PEOPLE MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED. *TR

1. TRUCK PRIMARILY USED AS A PASSENGER VEHICLE. ONLY INFREQUENT USE TRULY AS A TRUCK. 2. WHILE CARRYING A MODERATE LOAD ON THE HIGHWAY, A GRATING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE SPRING. THE LOWER LONG LEAF (2 LEAF + HELPER) HAD BROKEN OFF FORWARD OF THE DIFFERENTIAL AND DISLODGED ITSELF FROM THE ASSEMBLY SUCH THAT IT WAS RUBBING AGAINST GAS TANK SEAM. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING WAS ALSO BROKEN BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY DISLODGED. BOTH HAD BEEN BROKEN FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME SINCE THE BROKEN ENDS WERE WELL RUSTED. 3. WAS APPROX. 200 MILES FROM HOME AND FORTUNATELY HAD A HAMMER TO FREE THE BROKEN SPRING FROM THE TANK. STOPPED EVERY 30 MILES TO CHECK IT. THE PROBLEM IS NOT YET CORRECTED AND STILL INSTALLED ON VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED A FIRE IF THE TANK WAS RUPTURED. TOYOTA WAS CALLED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. THEY TOOK MY VIN NUMBER AND SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. IN TRYING TO OBTAIN USED PARTS FROM AUTO RECYCLERS, MORE THAN ONE HAS STATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW INQUIRIES FOR USED SPRINGS FOR TACOMAS. AND AFTER SEARCHING THE NHTSA DATABASE, I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN IS REPORTED TO TOYOTA OR THE NHTSA.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE USED 1995 TACOMA, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE MIDDLE REAR DRIVER'S SPRING APPARENTLY BROKE AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH SHOCK, CAUSING HARD SQUEAKING.

TOM SCOTT MOTORS OF CALDWELL IDAHO SOLD ME A USED VEHICLE THAT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IN CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT RESOLVED AND THEY ARE WAITING TO SEE IF THEY CAN PURCHASE THE PARTS FROM A WRECKING YARD. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED NEW LEAF SPRINGS ON THE REAR OF THE TRUCK( THIS IS EVIDENT BECAUSE THEY UNDER COATED THE BROKEN PARTS) THEY DID NOTHING TO FIX IT BEFORE SELLING IT AND ALLOWED ME TO PURCHASE IT AND DRIVE FROM CALDWELL IDAHO TO LA GRANDE OREGON WHICH IS ABOUT 140 MILES ONE WAY. *JB

I CALLED 10 JUNKYARDS LOOKING FOR USED SPRINGS AND THEY ALL JUST LAUGHED AND SAID" THEY SELL THEM AS FAST AS THEY GET THEM" BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A COMMON FAILURE. I NOW ASK EVERYONE I SEE DRIVING ONE OF THESE TRUCKS IF THIERS HAS BROKE AND ABOUT 80% OF THEM SAY YES!

ON DECEMBER 6TH, I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR NEW SHOCKS. FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE REAR OF THE TRUCK HAS BOUNCED AND ROCKED MUCH MORE THAN USUAL, SO I ASSUMED IT NEEDED NEW SHOCKS. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT BOTH REAR LEAF SPRINGS ON THE TRUCK WERE BROKEN. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE DAMAGE, AND EXPLAINED THAT THEY HAD BEEN BROKEN FOR SOME TIME. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE MORE THAN $1200 TO REPLACE THE SPRINGS. SINCE I DON'T HAUL ANYTHING HEAVY, OR GO 4-WHEELING I DECIDED TO LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION. MINE WILL BE THE 34TH COMPLAINT IN YOUR DATABASE FOR BROKEN LEAF SPRINGS ON 1995 TACOMA TRUCKS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE 20 COMPLAINTS ON 1996 MODELS AND SEVERAL ON 1997 MODELS. CLEARLY, THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE THAT WARRANTS INVESTIGATION BY YOUR AGENCY. SINCE I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ABUSE MY TRUCK, I WILL BE ASKING THE DEALERSHIP AND/OR TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE LEAFSPRINGS AT THEIR EXPENSE. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE FROM YOU INDICATING WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM.

NOTICED A BAD RIDE WITH EXCESSIVE SQUEAKING.HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED BY MECHANIC WHO VERIFIED BOTH SPRINGS WERE CRACKED.

THE CENTER LEAF ON BOTH SPRINGS HAS FAILED. TOYOTA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM, BUT TOLD ME TOO MANY MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THEY DID REPLACE HEADGASKET FOR A RECALL AT 135K. I WENT TO AN AUTO/TRUCK SPRING SHOP AND WHEN I WENT INSIDE, THE GENTLEMAN THERE SAID "BROKEN REAR SPRINGS?" BEFORE I SAID ANYTHING. THEY KEEP THEM IN STOCK, REPLACING SO MANY. I"VE BEEN LUCKY, THE PART THAT BROKE ISN'T A MOUNTING POINT. SO THE SUSPENSION HAD CONTINUED TO HOLD UP THE TUCK. IT'S GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO REPAIR, $800+ BETWEEN THE SPRINGS, SHOCKS(LEAF SLID OVER AND ATE THE SHOCK) AND THE EXHAUST PIPE(SLID OVER AND ATE THAT.) I'VE RESIGNED THAT I'VE GOT TO DO IT, BUT MAYBE TOYOTA HAS TO DO SOME BETTER RESEARCH ON THEIR COMPONENTS. THANKS. *AK

THESE MUST HAVE BEEN CRACKING FOR QUITE SOME TIME, CAUSE THE RIDE WAS GETTING WORSE IN THE PAST MONTH. HARD TO HANDLE ON CURVES. THOUGHT I NEEDED SHOCKS. GOOD THING I HAD MY BOYFRIEND LOOK AT IT. I FEEL IT'S A SAFTEY HAZARD. AND TOYOTA SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT AND REPLACE THE SPRINGS AT THEIR COST. *AK

IE98037, PASSENGER'S LEAF SPRING BROKE, WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER IS PAYING THE COST OF THE LEAF SPRING, BUT NOT FOR THE LABOR. MANUFACTURER HAS CHANGED THE REGULAR 3-LEAF SPRING TO A 4-LEAF SPRING.

RECALL ONLY HELPED PROBLEM, BAND AID REPAIR, SOON AFTER RECALL REPAIR HAD BEEN DONE [?] ALIGMENT KEEPS CHAGING , VIBRATION IN FRONT AXLE BOTH ABOUT 15MPH AND 45MPH THIS VIBRATION COMES AND GO'S.

THE REAR LEAF SPRING BROKE, A 4" SECTION IS MISSING FROM THE MIDDLE. THE STILL ATTATCHED PART HAD SWUG ROUND AND WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE. THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT IS PLAIN TO SEE, ESPECIALLY SINCE ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH LEAF SPRINGS/SUSPENSION THAT THIS MODEL HAS HAD.
