August 2014 recall on my 2014 Toyota Tacoma has not been fixed by any dealership over the course of 5 years. On my most recent maintenance on August 17, 2019 at a Toyota dealership, I was informed that there was a recall on my vehicle and that they would take care of it. It is now September 18, 2019, and the NHTSA still shows the recall was never fixed. I called the dealership multiple times to follow up only to find that the sticker/label needed for the recall is still not in stock.
Since I purchased the 2014 Toyota Tacoma in febuary 2017 ive had constant difulculty steering/turning the vehical wich is noticeably to hard/stiff for power steering in this truck. 3days after I purchased it,a man I know looked at it briefly & right off he notice that all 4 tires were excessively cracked between the treds all around each tire & cracking onto tred but cracks between the tred had places he showed me that were much to wide & deep leaving me,my child,& other drivers on the road in a highly unsafe matter. All four grandtrek dunlop brand/model tires are all cracked the same & rotting away. I called the dealership whom I got the truck from & they refused to replace the tires nor give me the Toyota warrenty information they said the truck was still covered over. Regardless,these tires are still defective & a huge safety threat.
My 2014 Toyota Tacoma when driving on the fwy over 60 mph has vibration and steering wheel shake,dealer has replaced tires, re-aligned and road force balance all wheels and problem still persist. Vehicle is now at 5000 miles and being bought back after arbitration, OH it took 2 Tacoma's with same issue and 2/1/2 years to get to this point.
Wheel's are not made for trucks according to manufacture guides lines dunlop at grand trek 20 are spl. Made for SUV's and 4 cly not 6 cyl. Trucks. Trucks as Toyota was told on many occasions these tires bubble out after 2700 + miles this is the 3rd incident with these tires for me and every time I address this issue it's dunlops fault and when I contact dunlop it's Toyota's fault what are the obilgtions to repair and fix this issue before some 1 get's killed or hurt.
