general problems of the 2010 Toyota Tacoma

The gas gauge on the dashboard does not work properly.

Manufacturer recall #f0u, dealership replaced catalytic converter but their mechanic damaged the fuel sensor that screws into it. Now the engine warning light stays on, traction control is disabled. I have been back to the dealership 3 times but they refuse to make repairs. The manager is abusive.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Tacoma. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v604000 (suspension, fuel propulsion system); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Pulling out into traffic the vehicle continued to accelerate rapidly on its own. Slammed on the brakes, stopped put car in neutral, engine continued to rev to past the redline, put car in park, stopped engine.

Were pulling out and smell of gas filled up the cab, jerking occurred. Experiences of intermittent accerleration had been occurring for a very long time as been made aware of recently. Smell of gas has been overwhelming. Vehicle now parked outside and will not drive until it can be fixed or replaced, have been warned of potential air bag failure in japanese plants found last week in this model. This vehicle is the only car we have, have paid on it for a very long time. I have paid a lot of money to local dealership to keep service up to date, they have been difficult with me even though I have an extended warranty on it. I just had the services done, and had to pay for them, and even though I thought they were doing a good job, my battery died and I pulled the hood open and there was corrosion everywhere on battery and under the hood, I am going to look under the engine and drive train in the morning after looking at this new recall and I will report to Toyota financial services in the morning. At this point I am disgusted with the local dealership, I have purchased my last three Toyotas there and I will not go back there every again, in fact after these past three years of continual recalls and safety hazards, as well as them not being fixed correctly or not being reimbursed for my time or expenses being lost from this vehicle not being repaired correctly when mine and my children's lives are at stake and my client's that I see in clinical therapy, I will never consider purchasing anything from the Toyota cooperation every again.
