1992 TOYOTA PICKUP

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND NOTICED IT HAS AN INCOMPLETE RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 TOYOTA PICKUP. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BED WOULD STRIKE THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 217,800.

Mileage: 217,800

THE FRAME HAS HAD EXCESSIVE RUSTING AROUND THE REAR SUSPENSION AREA FOR ABOUT 7-8 YEARS. REPAIRS HAVE HAD TO BE MADE TO THIS AREA. FINALLY, TOYATA ANOUNCED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT IT ONLY GOES BACK TO 1995. *TR

TOOK MY 1992 TOYOTA TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE WHILE ON THE LIFT THEY NOTICED THAT THE FRAME NEAR THE LEAF SPRING WAS RUSTED THROUGH. IT WAS LARGE ENOUGH TO PUT YOUR ARM THROUGH IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS GREAT LITTLE TRUCK OTHER THAN THIS. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE MAY BE A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR

TOOK MY 1992 TOYOTA SHORT BOX PICKUP IN FOR A BRAKE JOB. BOTH FRAME MEMBERS HALF WAY BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES WERE RUSTED SO BAD THAT ONE COULD PUT ONES ARM ALL THE WAY THRU. THE TRUCK HAS A GOOD ENGINE AND TIRES, BUT NOW IS JUST A DANGEROUS PIECE OF JUNK. NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT. *TR

1992 TOYOTA FRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING AND WHEN DRIVING OVER ROAD HAZARDS AND BUMPS THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SHIFT AND JUMP OFF OF FRAME THUS MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF DRIVER CONTROL IS LOST. *TR

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V389000 (STEERING: LINKAGES: ROD: RELAY: CONNECTING) AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER ONLY REPLACED THE STEERING RELAY ROD BUT DID NOT PERFORM AN ALIGNMENT AND REINSTALL THE SKID PLATE ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER REFUSED TO MAKE THE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

I TOOK MY TOYOTA PICKUP TO KENDALL TOYOTA (MIAMI, FL) IN REGARD TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V389000. APPARENTLY THEY DID NOT WANT TO DO THE SERVICE. THEY GAVE ME MANY PROBLEMS ON THE PHONE WHEN I CALLED TO TRY TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE SERVICE. AFTER MANY CALLS AND COMPLAINTS, THEY AGREED THAT I COULD BRING IT IN THE NEXT DAY. BUT ON MARCH 4, 2011 THEY KEPT ME WAITING A LONG TIME, DID NOT COMPLETE THE RECALL SERVICE, DID NOT BOLT THE ENGINE SHIELD BACK ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE, AND REFUSED TO COMPLETE THE WORK. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THE GENERAL MANAGER. THEY BOTH REFUSED TO TALK TO ME. I CALLED TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM. I WAS PROMISED A CONTACT FROM AN APPROPRIATE REPRESENTATIVE AT TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA WITHIN ONE BUSINESS DAY, AND A CONTACT FROM KENDALL TOYOTA WITHIN THREE BUSINESS DAYS. IT HAS BEEN TWENTY DAYS, AND BOTH TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA AND KENDALL TOYOTA REFUSE TO CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM. I HAD

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 TOYOTA PICKUP. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE EXAMINED THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME HAD HOLES IN IT AND EXTENSIVE CORROSION. THE TRANSMISSION SUPPORT SHIELD WAS ALSO CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PLACED A TEMPORARY METAL SHIELD IN THE TRANSMISSION AREA. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE SUBFRAME COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,250.

1992 TOYOTA PICKUP SR5 V6. WAS APPROACHING THE FREEWAY ON RAMP AND HIT A BUMP AND HEARD A LOUD POP AND IMMEDIATELY LOST STEERING. UPON INSPECTION, MY LEFT UPPER CONTROL ARM FRAME MOUNT WAS BROKEN OFF. THIS MOUNT ALSO HOLDS THE MOTOR MOUNT. TAKING A CLOSER LOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE THE METAL HAD CRACKED AT SOME POINT AND RUSTED THROUGH AND THE BUMP WAS THE LAST STRAW. ITS A MIRACLE I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY YET, OR I (AND POSSIBLY OTHERS) COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED! *TR

CONSUMER IS REQUESTING PRE-PAID CERTIFICATES TO HAVE LICENSED AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP REMOVE THE SLIME PRODUCT FROM HIS TIRES AND RE-BALANCE THE TIRES ON THE RIMS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE PURCHASED THE PRODUCT TO CORRECT A VERY SLOW LEAK IN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. THE CONSUMER STATED HE USED THE RECOMMENDED 20 OZ AMOUNT. ONCE HE APPLIED THE FIRST APPLICATION OF THE PRODUCT, IT CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHUDDER RAPIDLY, SPANNING AN INCH AND A HALF CLOCKWISE/COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. THE CONSUMER STATED HE COULD FEEL IT BEING TRANSMITTED FROM THE IMBALANCE OF THE TIRE. *JB

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I OWN A 1992 4X4 TOYOTA PICKUP (VIN #[XXX]) I READ AN ARTICLE LAST WEEK IN THE WASHINGTON POST SAYING THAT THIS YEAR TOYOTA PICKUPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR FAULTY STEERING AND LINKAGE RODS. I ALSO READ A PRESS RELEASE ON NHTSA WEBSITE ABOUT IT. I CALLED TOYOTA, AND BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE 800 HOTLINE TELL ME THAT MY VIN # IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. MY PICKUP HAS ALWAYS MADE BINDING NOISES WHEN I MAKE HARD TURNS. SO GIVEN THE QUESTION OF TOYOTA'S VERACITY IN ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM, I WANT TO REPORT THE COMPANY'S REFUSAL TO DO THE RECALL WORK. I HAVE SEEN NO OTHER INFORMATION FROM NHTSA OR ANYWHERE ELSE THAT SOME VIN NUMBERS ARE EXEMPTED. MY QUESTION IS WHETHER THE NHTSA WILL CONFIRM TOYOTA'S ASSERTION THAT MY VIN IS EXEMPTED FROM THIS RECALL? *TR

MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT I PURCHASED A 1992 TOYOTA PICKUP TRUCK NEW IN 1992 AND HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING RUST LIKE THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THIS TRUCK. TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON SOME TRUCKS, BUT NOT GO BACK THAT FAR. I CAN TELL YOU THIS TRUCK RUSTED PROFUSELY 2 YRS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. THIS TRUCK WAS GARAGE KEPT FOR MANY YEARS BUT DID NOT SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I FIRST HAD PART REPLACED ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK...IT RUSTED AWAY....I HAD IT REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME 3 YRS AGO....I HAD TO HAVE THE GAS LINES REPLACED. THERE ARE SO MANY RUSTED PARTS I HAD TO HAVE REPLACED TO KEEP THIS TRUCK SAFE.....I FEEL WHEN THEY HAD A RECALL OF THE OTHER TRUCKS, THIS ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED....I OWN 3 TOYOTAS.... I BOUGHT THE 1992 PICKUP AND A 1992 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE AT THE SAME TIME....MY CAMRY IS NOT RUSTED, WHY???, IS IT BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT TOTALLY IN JAPAN...DIFFERENT STEEL???? THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE METAL THAT WAS USED TO BUILD THIS TRUCK.......I BELIEVED TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THESE TRUCKS

PURCHASED 1992 TOYOTA PICKUP PURCHASED WITH 89000 MILES IN SUMMER OF 2006. HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND HAS 92000 MILES CURRENTLY. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO GET PARKING BRAKE REPLACED. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY REFUSED TO SERVICE VEHICLE DUE TO EXTENSIVE AND SEVERE FRAME CORROSION. TOOK VEHICLE HOME AND CONFIRMED THAT SIDES OF FRAME MEMBERS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. LEARNED FROM PHONE CONVERSATION YESTERDAY THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND SEE CAUSES AS MANUFACTURING-RELATED (EITHER SKIPPED RUSTPROOFING COMPLETELY ON FRAMES OR SUBSTANDARD CHEMICAL COMPOSITION MATERIALS WERE USED IN FRAME MANUFACTURE). TOYOTA HAS PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED 1995 AND LATER PICKUPS WERE AFFECTED AND HAS OFFERED TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLES FROM CURRENT OWNERS. THIS DOES NOT COVER THE 1992 MODEL YEAR. YET TOYOTA'S ACTION CONFIRMS THE FRAME DEFECT WAS PRESENT WHEN VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH TURNED UP INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLES COMPLETELY BROKE IN HALF WHIL

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 TOYOTA PICKUP. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS CHANGING THE REAR TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE REAR OF THE FRAME NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WHEEL WELL. A COUPLE OF MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A BUMP AND HEARD A LOUD SUSPENSION BREAKING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

1992 TOYOTA PICK UP (V6,4WD) WAS TAKEN IN TO HAVE 2 REAR TIRES INSTALLED. WHEN PLACED ON LIFT A COMPLETE CRACKING OF THE FRAME WAS DISCOVERED ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE METAL ACTUALLY FLAKES IN YOUR HANDS FOR ALMOST 18 INCHES. THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING ON THE RIGHT SIDE. A FRIEND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF FUEL TANK EXPLOSION. THE CURRENT FRAME RECALL ONLY EXTENDS TO 1995 AND NEWER, BUT AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE MADE TO DETERMINE IF THE PROBLEM GOES BACK FURTHER. *TR

BROUGHT MY 92 TOYOTA PICKUP TRUCK IN TO HAVE A BELT CHANGED. THE GUYS AT THE SHOP PUT THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT AND THE TRUCK JUST FOLDED. THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY ROTTED YOU CAN STICK YOUR HAND RIGHT THROUGH IT. CURRENTLY THE RECALL ON FRAME ROT DOES NOT COVER MY YEAR. *TR

HEAD GASKET REPLACED BY TOYOTA (SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN V06) AT 109,574 MILES. REPLACEMENT HEAD GASKET FAILED SUDDENLY AT 189,000 MILES, DRIVING ON LEVEL GROUND (40 MPH), AND WITHOUT WARNING (NO OVERHEATING OR LEAKS). UNDRIVABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT REPEATED HEAD GASKET FAILURES ON THESE PICKUPS (1990-95). CALLED TOYOTA CORP, BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE GASKET AGAIN AT NO COST BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THAT THESE VEHICLES WERE "FIXED" WITH THE REPLACEMENT GASKET. THIS TRUCK DOES NOT HAUL OR PLOW AND HAS BEEN MECHANICALLY WELL MAINTAINED. THE HEAD GASKET REPLACEMENT SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, THIS ISSUE MOST CERTAINLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED BY TOYOTA! *TR
