Description of the problem	[xxx] lightning/electrical i want to report safety issues with my toyota tacoma. When i bought tacoma in san antonio, brand new in 2011, a few months later the daytime running light (drl) and turn signal lens become distorted, bubbled, and cracked. I did a google search, and it was an extremely common issue with many owners complaints. I told my dealership and it was "normal" and i was required to pay to get it fixed. Earlier this year when i was at mountain states toyota in denver to get the oil change, i inquired about the same issue. The employee told me that it was a very common issue, and that toyota will fix it for free. I was told that a letter was mailed out to every person that owns a 2011 toyota tacoma. However, there was a time limit to get it done and it already already passed. I want to emphasize that i never received a letter from toyota. In addition, my truck has always has electrical issues since i bought the truck. Intermittently, when i drive my truck, every electrical components and lights, including from the instrumental panel would shut down and instantly start back up, and my steering wheel would momentarily lock up. I called toyota headquarter, and the lady i spoke to said that there was a time limit when i could get it fixed, and that it has now expired. And that there was nothing she can do about it. I only want toyota to fix this issue free of charge, because i never received that letter they told me they sent out, and i do not know why they put a time limit on it. If toyota refuses to get it fixed, i want to put toyota on notice that i want to initiate arbitration with toyota. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
