| Description of the problem | In reviewing your website for recalls on the toyota tacoma, it appears that there is one missing that came before the recall for the spare tires. The one i speak of is the recall on the vehicle for frame perforations of which my vechicle now has and has deemed unsafe for driving. I believe this recall should be enforced by toyota as myself and numerous others have vehicles that cause safety hazards for not only ourselves but injuries to others. These vehicles are still on the road, as others like my self were not aware of the dangerous situatin toyota has placed us in because they are doing nothing to rectify the situation, i'd like to take m vehicle in for the tire recall however i will not risk my life in order to get this repair done. As an agency to is established to protect consumers from hazards, i and many others (visit facebook page toyota tacoma frame defects) feel that your agency should step-up and do something about this. *tt |
