1 Speed Control Springs problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2014

I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma. I took it to my local Toyota dealer in August to address the recalls needing to be done. They tell me they are backed up trying to get recalls fixed. It is now November and have not been called yet. Now the leaf springs are on recall. I replaced one leaf spring in September 2014 due to it snapping. Will I get reimbursed from Toyota for this repair?? I have not heard from my local Toyota dealer as to when they can fix the recalls, they said they will call me when they can get me in. What year will that be? will my second leaf spring snap and puncture the tank before it gets repaired? or will the frame possible rust out and fall on the leaf springs. . . . . . . I love Toyota Tacomas, disappointed in the follow thru/timeliness on fixing these problems.

2 Speed Control Springs problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2009

Last spring, my husband and I filed a complaint against Toyota for stuck accelerator pedal in our 2006 Tacoma pick-up truck. We had about 4 incidents where the pedal was stuck, during speeds ranging from 30-60 miles per hour. The floor mats were not the issue. Toyota denied any problems at the time and our only choice was to leave our truck at the dealership because we were afraid to drive it home or sell it to someone else. They suggested we trade in the vehicle for a new truck, which we did, for a 2009 Tacoma. I am very disburbed that Toyota did not include the Tacoma on the recall list when we know for a fact it has the issue, at least the 2006 model did. I fear that the recall list is incomplete (all 2006 Tacomas on the road are a hazard) and fear that my truck might have the issue too.
