2 Engine Exhaust System problem of the 2006 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 02/13/2010

2006 Toyota Tacoma . Abs brakes right front brake when slowing or coming to a stop @ times applying the brakes in a normal manner. The right front seems to lock up while the others seem not to brake @ all. And slid through a traffic light. Took it to Toyota 2/15/10 picked up 2/18 /10, could not duplicate . This has happened before when it was about1 to 11/2 years old was pulling a small trailer, I called Toyota the said it happened because of pulling the trailer, so never took it in. It when this happens there is like a loud rumbling buzzing vibration coming from the right front. Also ever since new the idle will run rough then speed up to run normal. At Toyota they said its normal 4 a Tacoma to run like that & there was nothing they could do to fix it.

3 Engine Exhaust System problem of the 1999 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 06/07/2006

I had a 1999 Toyota Tacoma. This truck was a 2wd with a 2. 4 litre engine extended cab. The accelerator was always high. I got a few speeding tickets because of that. Even on small roads the rpm was unusually high. The mechanics also used to comment when they would do maintenance work on that truck. I lost this truck in an accident now. But please investigate this model also. Also the egr valve on this trucks go bad frequently. Thank you for investigating Toyota. I thought I had a fluke bad Toyota truck, but it turns out that I was not alone. Thank you for your help.

Tapping noise in engine has been going on since 4-12-97. Consumer found out that head gasket was blown, and other problems had been happening, Toyota has not been assisting consumer with any of the vehicles issues, a defective head gasket was not replaced as it should have been, and from one Toyota dealer to the next has found more and more problems. Toyota stated they will not cover head gasket problem regardless ofthe past problem. . Consumer states since head gasket was done the exhaust studs were tightened due to the engine making noise, it sounds like valve rapping, thumbing noise over bumps at left floor area, rear springs were broken and noise from front end and also noise at idle.

The engine makes a load popping noise while it is warming up and when it is cooling down after the engine has been shut off. I was told by the dealer that it is the charcoal canister. I noticed that there is a service report for this. Will this problem cause any damage in the future. Can it be fixed? thank you very much, oliver newman.

7 Engine Exhaust System problem of the 2000 Toyota Tacoma

Chemical reaction of sulfuric acid with plated metals of brake casing produced toxic fumes that were inhaled over an extended period of time producing severe frontal sinus pain, congestion, bleeding, and headache. The battery hold down clamp was overtorque at the factory and resulted in the fracture of the delco battery casing. Sulfuric acid drained out of the battery casing and spilled onto the fender well, driver side tire, brake casing,and under carriage. The plated metal surfaces were disoloved. I drove the vehicle approx. 6 hours to st. Louis and was feeling ill upon arriving.
