During the timeframe between january 11th to january 15th, 2011, the abs light and the brake lights came on repeatedly. As recommended by the manual, I parked the car until I could get an appointment with a servicing dealer.
Toyota tacoma frames are rusting out prematurely. Mine is a 1998 in excellent condition and only 45,000 miles. Just bought brand new wheels,tires,and other accesories that totalled over $1,000 and now it won't pass inspection and they say even if I fix it ,it will continue to rust and I will have to keep repairing it.
Fail state car inspection due to illegal installation of headlights by a company doing business in the city of chesapeake. Premier sound who installed a $400.00 plus headlights on my 97 toyota 4runner did not tell me that this headlights would not pass state inspection.
Brakes .... Dealer replaced once and requiring me to pay for the other, both brake jobs have been done within a year. Both were supposed to be under warranty was told basically I didn't know how to drive a suv.(ex bus driver& 18 wheeler)
