IN AUGUST 2013 WHILE I WAS LIVING IN MEXICO TAKING CARE OF MY ELDERLY FATHER MY 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA AY 67K MILES STARTED HAVING NOISES IN THE SUSPENSION AREA . WHILE I AM NOT A MECHANIC I WAS REFERRED TO A MAN NAMED ADRIAN WHO SPECIALIZED IN SUSPENSIONS AND BRAKES . HE DROVE MY TACOMA AND DISCOVERED THE NOISE WAS CAUSED BY CRACKED LEAF SPRINGS ON THE REAR OF MY TRUCK , I TOO WAS UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW THE CRACKS AND BREAKAGE . I CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD " YOUR TRUCK IN NOT UNDER WARRANTY SO YOU WILL HAVE TO FIX THE TRUCK YOUR SELF ". I DROVE MY OTHER VEHICLE AS THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE VEHICLE WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS IT WAS . I ORDERED SOME NEW LEAF SPRINGS AND HAD THEM SHIPPED FROM SUMMIT RACING , THEY WERE THE FEW SHOPS TO OFFER INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING . WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN I HAD MY MECHANIC INSTALL THEM FOR A VERY REASONABLE $120 USD . I SAW THAT THERE WERE MANY OWNERS OF TRUCKS LIKE MINE THAT HAS SIMILAR PART FAILURE SO KNEW THE PROBLEM WAS MORE THAN TOYOTA WAS TELLING AND THEY WERE STILL NOT ADMITTING THERE WAS A PROBLEM. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA AND SEEING THAN NEARLY 700,000 VEHICLE LIKE MINE WERE AFFECTED . I HAD ALREADY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AS I NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT AND THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE IN THE FUTURE SOME REIMBURSEMENT . I HAVE NOW WAITED OVER TWO YEARS FOR A REIMBURSEMENT FROM TOYOTA AND THEY KEEP ASKING FOR A WRITTEN STATEMENT THAT THE BROKEN LEAF SPRINGS "WERE NOT FROM SOME OTHER EXTERNAL FORCES" AND I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM TOYOTA'S IRRITATING CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE . I STILL OWN THE TRUCK , STILL OUT THE $722.97 ,AND STILL EXASPERATED THAT TOYOTA WOULD BE SO UNREASONABLE WITH A CUSTOMER . CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME IN THEIS REGARD TO RECOMMEND SOME AGENCY TO HELP SOLVE THIS ?

Official recalls
10Sep 29, 2014
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner and 4x4 vehicles manufactured September 14, 2009, to October 11, 2010. In the affected vehicles, one of the leaf springs may fracture due to stress or corrosion. While being driven, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components including the fuel tank, possibly puncturing the tank and causing a fuel leak.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the fuel tank leaks fuel from being punctured, there is an increased risk of a fire.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners and dealers will install new rear leaf spring assemblies. The recall began on January 29, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
Aug 7, 2013
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Tacoma Access Cab vehicles manufactured September 14, 2004, through March 29, 2010; and model year 2011 Tacoma Access Cab vehicles manufactured July 1, 2010, through September 7, 2011. If the access doors are repeatedly and forcefully closed, the screws that attach the seat belt pre-tensioner to the seat belt retractor can loosen over time. If the screws loosen completely, the seat belt pre-tensioner and the retractor spring cover could detach from the seat belt retractor.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the seat belt pre-tensioner detaches from the seat belt assembly, the seat belt pre-tensioner will not perform as designed, increasing the risk of injury in a severe crash.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt assemblies. Based on the inspection, the seat belt assembly will be replaced or new pre-tensioner screws will be installed with thread-locking sealant and a retractor spring cover with stopper ribs to prevent loosening of the screws. These services will be provided at no cost to the owner. The recall began during February 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
