2012 Toyota Tacoma Suspension Problems

“I brought truck to Toyota dealership as part of rusted frame recall to be verified. They stated truck was not rusted enough underneath for Toyota to approve recall. That was a couple of months ago. I have recently brought it to a few mechanics to do some work on A/C as the A/C stopped working and that refuse to work on it as the truck is so rusted underneath!! They said it would crumble. Not even worth it.”

“When I'm driving the truck between 30 and 40 miles an hour the truck feel like wants to stop and saunds wuird I think is the torque converter is not doing his job properly also that suspension is getting restless so bad and so quickly and the chats are so hard so I don't know if it is something wrong with it or it's just normal in the car and saw the things I've been checking on it 2012 Toyota and I had it for three years also it takes too long to heat up in winter time”

“My vehicle has the same problem as the recall in the 2005-2011 Tacoma recall from Toyota. The subject vehicles rear suspension system contains leaf springs that are constructed of either 3 or 4 leaf springs. There is a possibility that a leaf could fracture due to stress and corrosion. This could cause damage to the fuel tank or other components. My vehicle has the damaged leaf as described in their recall although it is a 2012, and I discovered it recently hearing a noise in the rear of the vehicle.”

“At 300 miles I noticed upon downshifting ( I believe 3-2 or 2-1) a rumblestrip vibration feeling. I took the truck to the dealer and they said it was normal. It still occurs everytime I downshift (sometimes stronger feeling then other times) I researched previous years with the same complaint.. It cant be healthy for the transmission clutches. I now have 1300 miles...still happening...any thoughts?”

“Steering wheel shakes at highway speed, Toyota escondido has been able to duplicate's problem. Wheels have been rotated and balanced and problem still persist, vehicle is now at 9100 miles and I plan having dealer look at issue again , but I'm concerned this could lead to a more serious issue that could affect the safety of the vehicle.I have researched forums and found numerous complaints regarding this issue that seems to plague the Tacoma line.”
