To say the least, I have
To say the least, I have given up on Tacomas. My 1987 (not called Tacoma then) had a very rusty body, and was retired in 2001. Not bad. I then bought a used 1999 and Toyota paid me a more than fair amount when they called it off the road in 2008. Frame was rusted through in spots, as was rear differential housing. With the buyback, I got a great deal on a 2008, or so I thought. But I was told in May this year (2015) that the frame needs replacement, due to serious corrosion again. My truck sat all summer awaiting a frame which apparently had not yet been manufactured. I finally got my truck back in late October. On my first drive at highway speeds,the drive shaft loosened and the middle section came off the frame, hanging like a "V" rather than being secured and horizontal. Someone (yes a Toyota mechanic) did not tighten the bolts, and a corroded clamp for drive shaft was reattached yet again. No, I no longer feel comfortable with the company, and certainly not with the "certified" mechanics! The corporation should have done a buy back instead of paying for an estimated $10,000 repair.No buy back, and I won't BE BACK!
