My frame of my truck rotted from the inside out and now i don’t qualify for their safety safety program, they only give you enough time and cover it up with a coating so by the time you realized it’s fully rotted through it’s too late.
The key fob separate from the key dangles while driving and with manual seats there is no way to adjust the seat up or down and while accelerating or braking, while moving leg and foot the knee hits the key fob and causes the key to turn while driving leading to a hazardous safety condition, toyota needs to integrate the key fob into the key so nothing is dangling to get hit by the knee and knock key out of position
The contact owns a 2015 toyota tacoma. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed an unusual burning odor in the interior of the vehicle. the contact's wife, who was seated in the front passenger's seat, noticed a fire in the power switch area of the rear driver's door. the contact then parked the vehicle. the contact extinguished the fire with a jug of water that was in the vehicle
Was in a serious accident while driving and rear ended another vehicle and my airbags did not deploy. serious front end damage resulting in a total loss of my tacoma. shocked airbags did not deploy. definitely should have.
