2000 Toyota Tacoma

I PURCHASED A 2000 TACOMA IN THE MONTH OF JULY. I HAVE NO PROBLEMS EXCEPT FOR THE GOODYEAR TIRES. THE GOODYEAR TIRES HAVE BEEN FOUND DEFECTIVE BY SEARS AUTOMOTIVE AND TOYOTA AND SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP. FOR MORE THAN A MONTH, I HAVE CONTACTED GOODYEAR REGARDING THE PROBLEM, BUT UNDER MY WARRANTY, I TOOK MY 2000 TACOMA TO A LOCAL DEALER. MIGUEL PEREZ (1045) - ROGERS AND ROGERS TOYOTA, PHONE # (760) 353-9300 ATTENDED ME AND FOR SEVERAL WEEKS CONFIRMED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WOULD BE REPLACED. AS OF TODAY MY TIRES HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED, EXCEPT FOR ONE TIRE, WHICH I WAS CHARGED $7.50. , I AM CONFIDENT YOU WILL WANT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE QUICKLY AND THOROUGHLY. I AM ASKING THAT YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS IT CONCERNS ME AND OTHER DRIVERS, SINCE THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER STATED TO ME, "THERE WAS NO MORE THEY CAN DO."*AK (TIRESIZE: P265/75R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/75R15 )

I AM CONCERNED THAT NOTHING IS IN PLACE TO PREVENT REAR SEAT PASSENGERS HEADS FROM STRIKING THE REAR WINDOW. VEHICLE IS SOLD WITH "CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM" HOWEVER, NOTHING IS IN PLACE TO STOP SOMEONES HEAD FROM STRIKING THE GLASS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT AND DURING ACCELERATION. I HAVE WRITTEN BEFORE AND NOT RECEIVED ANY KIND OF RESPONSE FROM YOU OR TOYOTA.*AK

WHILE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND AT 45MPH AN AUTO PULLED INTO TRAFFIC DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO BRAKE, AND STRUCK VEHICLE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AT 45. IMPACT SPUN BOTH VEHICLES INTO THE CENTER LANE. TRUCK FRONT TIRES WERE MOVED BACK INTO THE FIREWALL,AND TENTIRE FRONT END MUST BE REPLACED. TRUCK FRAME WAS DAMAGED TO THE EXTENT THAT THE FRAME MUST BE REPLACED. TTHE DRIVERS AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND WAS NOTED BY THE POLICE, AND RESCUE STAFF. DRIVER OF THE AUTOMOBILE WAS PINNED INSIDE, AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE THREE TIMES IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE. YESTERDAY I AGAIN CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AT A DEALERSHIP. I WANT TO KNOW WHY A VEHICLE THAT SUSTAINED THIS KIND OF FRONT END DAMAGE DID NOT HAVE AIRBAGS THAT DEPLOYED. THANK YOU. *AK

WHILE DRIVING MY NEW TRUCK ON THE 5 FWY SUN. 10/29/00 APP. 4:30 PM. WITH MY SUN ROOF IN THE OPEN POSITION, WITHOUT WARNING, THE SUN ROOF BLEW OF THE TOP WITH CONSIDERABLE PRESSURE. SHATTERING ON THE FRONT HOOD & WINDSHIELD OF THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. THIS TOOK CHIPS OUT OF THE PAINT & WINDSHIELD OF THE VEHICLE OF THE 2ND PARTY. UPON PRESENTING THIS TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHOM I PURCHASED FROM, THIER REPLY WAS DISBELIEF & THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. THIS IS ONE ISSUE. MORE SERIOUS (WHICH IS SCARY) IS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT & TOYOTA IS DENYING THIS ACCIDENT OCCURED. THE LADY THAT WAS BEHIND WILL. *AK

IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE TRUCK WITH LOW BEAMS ON. ALL LIGHT IS FOCUSED 20-30' IN FRONT OF TRUCK. NO SCATTER LIGHT GOES BEYOND THAT. I'VE ALMOST GONE THROUGH INTERSECTIONS ON DARK ROADS. JOGGERS AND SCHOOLKIDS SUDDENLY APPEAR IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK ON DARK MORNINGS. HIGH BEAMS ARE FINE. I THINK THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE ACCIDENTS AND PEDESTRIAN INJURIES WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS.
