Toyota Tacoma 2002 Structure Frame And Members Review #10236479 TOYOTA TACOMA 2002 car safety problem was reported on July 27, 2008.TOYOTA TACOMA 2002, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS . i bought my 2002 tacoma v6 4x4 double cab from a toyota dealership used in march of 2006. one thing i noticed is that the frame of the truck had excessive exterior rust build up. i used to be an automotive technician, and have always known that almost any toyota pickup truck has frame rust problems. it has been a well know fact for years and years. why did toyota wait so long to post a recall on this problem. shortly after buying my 2002 i looked at a older i believe 1995 toyota pick-up that i saw for sale one day. i was looking the truck over and found that the frame was rotted through on the drivers side just before the front spring shack on the rear of the truck. it had a hole in the frame about 2 1/2 inches wide, and where there was frame left you could put your finger through it with little pressure. i decided it wasn't anything i wanted to deal with. now i heard about the recall for the first generation tacoma's 95-00 on the frames rotting out just like the one i looked at. so seeing that my 2002 tacoma was showing premature frame rust, i decided to inspect it closer. i found that not only was the frame rusting and flaking on the outside, it was also rusting on the inside as well. i also found that the welds on the frame for the spring hangers looked very poorly welded and rusty too. i believe that toyota should include the 2000 and newer tacoma's in their frame rot recall as well. does any one know if they changed the quality of the metal used in the frames on the newer tacoma's or the design? how do they justify that the newer tacoma's don't have this problem? because they are too new to have rotted to that point yet? think about it, why else would they have waited so many years to post a recall on a truck that is at the least 8 years old? they obviously knew there was a problem. i know i am not the only one who owns a 2nd generation tacoma with this problem. *tr.Mileage was 71000 miles.

Toyota Tacoma 2002 Power Train Manual TransmissionToyota Tacoma 2002 Power Train Manual Transmission Review #10310469 TOYOTA TACOMA 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 18, 2006.TOYOTA TACOMA 2002, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION . my experience with manual transmission on my current and previous toyota pick-up trucks was not very good. first my previous, earlier model 98 toyota tacoma 2wd manual transmission had failed at about 55,000 miles just prior to the 60,000 mile powertrain warranty limit. the failure happened at the synchronizer from 4th to 5th gear when shifting from neutral according to toyota technician at the time. the safety issue on this is that while driving and one needs to shift to 5th gear from neutral, one may have difficulty shifting and the transmission could have a catastrophic failure and at such freeway speed the vehicle could suddenly stall, stop and may go in a tailspin. previous dealer where i bought the vehicle from repaired the transmission per the warranty. now i have another toyota tacoma pick-up 4x4 having the same problem. i took it to the a toyota dealer previously since it was still under warranty for powertrain and around 55,000 miles but dealer refused to take a look at the problem even after repeated attempts to get the problem corrected. i informed them that i have a similar problem before and they have fixed it. but this time around they refused. i have attempted several times from sep 2006 until jan 2007 and even called toyota usa reps on the issue. i still own the truck and to get around the synchronizer problem, i have to downshift back to 3rd, 4th before i can go back to 5th gear. this can cause a lot of distraction while driving and to con unwitting driver unaware of what to do suddenly shifts to 5th from neutral the manual transmission squeaks/rattles like the sound of gears having problem meshing or breaking - thus in a worst case scenario one may loose driveability and capability to move the vehicle since the drive could get lost and may result in a failure. i kind a give up on it since the dealers and toyota usa before don't want to pay attention to me. i know this current toyota recall may result in them looking into this - safety issue. *tr.Mileage was 55000 miles.

(they claim to have sent 5 letters advising me of this….none of which i received, and i am the original owner at the same address for the past 16 years). looking at the internet forms concerning tacomas, i am not the only one to have been given this cock and bull story. why would i have not taken the truck in for protective undercoating if informed by toyota after all ready responding to a recall inspection only a few weeks earlier?. this is a potentially dangerous situation and could cause catastrophic problems. i think toyota corp is directly responsible for this situation by originally installing defective frames then not following through on recalls or service bulletins properly and actually stone walling owners calling with complaints about the defective frames with an extended 15 year warranty..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 152000 miles.
