TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 TOYOTA SHORT WB DELUXE PICKUP TRUCK. THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS CORRODED AND COVERED WITH RUST. WHILE PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE THE MECHANIC INFORMED HIM THAT THE FRAME WAS SEVERELY COVERED WITH RUST. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.
1)TRUCK MOSTLY GARAGED AND KEPT IN EXCELLENT REPAIR. 2)RUST HOLES IN FRAME. 3)DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR THE DEFECT. *TR
1992 TOYOTA TRUCK STEERING ROD WAS RECALLED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO EVERY TIME MY SON ASK TO GET IT FIXED THEY TELL HIM THEY WILL CALL HIM WHEN THEY GET THE PART. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR 2 YEARS HOW CAN WE GET IT FIXED. *TR
I HAVE A '92 TOYOTA 5 SPEED PICK-UP TRUCK AND FOR THE LAST 2 - 3 MONTHS IT HAS BEEN GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO SHIFT GEARS. I FINALLY HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC (NOW THAT THE TRUCK IS JUST ABOUT UN-DRIVABLE) AND WAS TOLD THE MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDALS IS CRACKED. THE CRACK ALLOWS THE BRACKET TO MOVE WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED CAUSING THE CLUTCH TO NOT COMPLETELY DIS-ENGAGE MAKING IT VERY HARD IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT GEARS (OR GET IT OUT OF GEAR). I'VE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND TALKED TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THAT TOYOTA MAKES A NEW "UPGRADED" VERSION OF THIS BRACKET FOR REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, UNFORTUNATELY THE PRICE TAG ON THIS BRACKET FOR MY PARTICULAR TRUCK IS AROUND $197 FOR THE PART ALONE. I HAVE READ MANY STORIES NOW OF PEOPLE NEARLY REAR-ENDING OTHER VEHICLES OR BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UPON THIS PARTS FAILURE AND I AM GLAD THAT HASN'T HAPPENED TO ME. BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD VERY POSSIBLY CAUSE A COLLISION. ALSO, I THINK ITS RIDICULOUS IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO FORK OUT THE MONEY TO REPLACE A PART THAT HAS A VERY KNOWN DEFECT AND IS COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE MAKE FROM THE LATE '80S TO LATE '90S. SOMEBODY REALLY NEEDS TO HAVE A LOOK AT THIS. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT AND ITS UNFAIR TO PASS THE BUCK ONTO THE CONSUMER TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT IS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY IN THE FIRST PLACE AND/OR COULD VERY WELL ENDANGER THEIR LIVES. *TR
1992 TOYOTA TACOMA FRONT RIGHT TIRE BLEW OUT AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. *NJ (OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT # 10-0481-91) *JB UPDATED02/24/10 *BF
THE LAST TIME I HAD MY 1992 TOYOTA TRUCK DLX LUBED AND OIL CHANGED, THE AUTOMOBILE MECHANIC SAID MY FRAME WAS RUSTING IN TWO UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY PICKUP TRUCK. HE SAID IT COULD BE TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH THE FRAME RUSTING AWAY LIKE THIS. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT TOYOTA MFG WAS RECALLING CERTAIN TRUCKS FOR THIS REASON. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN GET MY TRUCK INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL? *TR

1992 4WD TOYOTA RECALL WAS NOT COMPLETELY DONE, TIE RODS FROZE. *TS THE CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 05V389000 AND DROPPED HER VEHICLE OFF AT THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE NEXT DAY THE CONSUMER WAS CONTACTED BY THE SERVICE WRITER STATING THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAD BEEN INSTALLED AND THAT AN ALIGNMENT WOULD BE PERFORMED AS PART OF THE RECALL BUT THAT IT COULD NOT BE DONE BECAUSE THE TIE RODS WERE FROZEN ON BOTH SIDES. THESE RODS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT THE CONSUMER 'S EXPENSE. THE SERVICE WRITER ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT IF THESE REPAIRS WERE NOT MADE. THE CONSUMER EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE WASN'T OUT OF ALIGNMENT PRIOR TO REPAIR AND REQUESTED THAT THE OLD PART BE REINSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN SHE PICK THE CAR UP FROM THE DEALER SHE NOTICED THAT IT NOW WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT AND THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OFF CENTER TO THE LEFT. *NM
