The Tacoma is putting a big dent in American automakers' truck sales but it's also putting a big ugly dent in Toyota's reputation for quality, reliability and service. The trucks are plagued by engine and transmission problems as well as an assortment of defects and quirks that we don't usually associate with Japanese cars and trucks. Some of the comments from Toyota clients:" Upon completion of the inspection of my pick-up, I was informed that the frame not only failed, but was patched. I asked the 1st service tech how this was missed upon receipt of this vehicle, and how could it be sold. He told me they had no reason to perform such an intense inspection prior to resale. I asked him about the Toyota Quality Reputation. He didn't have an answer for me, and neither did the tech that performed the inspection. " Intense inspection??? You don't need an intense inspection to check if the frame is rotted out Mr. Toyota. |

One of those is Matt Pobieglo of Chattanooga, Tenn. Mr. Pobliego said he lost thousands of dollars in trade-in after the frame of his 1998 Tacoma rusted so badly he was afraid to drive it. Toyota recently offered him $675 because he no longer owned the vehicle, he said.
“The whole thing has been a mess,” said Mr. Pobieglo, who now drives a Nissan. “To me it is just corporate irresponsibility. |

The Toyota RAV4 (pronounced "rav-four") is a compact crossover SUV built and marketed by the Toyota Motor Corporation. The car was introduced in Japan and Europe in 1994 and sales began in North America in 1996 to cater to consumers wanting a vehicle that had most of the benefits of SUVs, such as increased cargo room, higher visibility, and the option of full-time four-wheel drive, along with the maneuverability and fuel economy of a smaller car. Our RAV4's frame rust and Toyota Canada's and Bel-Air Lexus Toyota, Inc.'s refusal to take any responsibility whatsoever on abnormal wear and having not noticed a potential safety issue even though they saw the vehicle 2-3 times per year for oil changes is what started this website. Unfortunately we own a RAV4 and not a Toyota Tacoma which would have been covered under the ' not a recall but the good intentions of Toyota ' announced in 2008. |
