This VIN number was totaled due to a bent frame after being rear ended on June 10th. I fear my insurance company (USAA) will attempt to commit fraud by not reporting the title as salvage.
My vehicle failed va inspection due to the horn not working. I have to get the spiral cable replaced per the auto repair shop. This was a recall on Tacoma's up to 2009 (recall B1801) but not my year. My year should be part of the recall. I believe this also impacts the airbag deployment from the steering wheel.
The horn in my 2011 Toyota Tacoma quit working. I went to use it my horn, and it did not work. I've taken my truck to several places to see if it could be fixed. I have been reading where this is a common problem for many Toyota owners. Also, the white paint on my car is starting to flake off. The truck isn't even 10 years old and has been maintained. Yet again, there are thousands of consumers affected by this. Apparently there are two types of white paint that Toyota knows to be an issue on certain year models, but they have not issued a recall. Having a paint job is an expense that most can not afford! I could see if it was something that was caused from an accident or the owners fault, but this is ridiculous. Mine is starting to peel and flake on my passengers side door around the window. There was no preliminary flaking or peeling of the clear coat, it went straight from white paint to gray. Numerous people have written in about both of this issues and there is nothing being done! there is no reason why they can't fix our horns. I live in N.C. and my truck will not pass inspection without it. This leads to other tickets and fines that shouldn't be happening. I can't tell you how many times I have needed my horn, and it doesn't work.
When the vehicle is turned on in cold temperatures the radio turns off and shows a error message every now and then. This is the second time the vehicle does it, it was taken to the dealer a couple of years ago for the same reason, the problem was fixed then but it is doing it again.

Toyota has a recall on 2005 to 2011 Tacoma's for rear leaf springs rusting out and breaking. When I checked with them they said my VIN number was not part of the recall. How can that be. I have a 2011 Tacoma and my rear leaf springs are rusted and now have broken. Only 51000 miles on the truck. What does my VIN number have to do with what the actual problem is. They have stated that these vehicles have a problem with rust and breakage of rear leaf springs that could cause the broken piece of spring hitting the gas tank. I feel because my truck is in the date specified it should be covered. Someone please help me here.
