Consumer Description

I RECENTLY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE FAN HITTING THE SHROUD ON MY 2006 TACOMA. I TOOK MY TACOMA INTO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE FRAME WAS CRACKED AROUND THE WELD WHERE THE DRIVERS' SIDE MOTOR MOUNT BRACKET WAS WELDED TO THE FRAME. THE BRACKET HAS STARTED SINKING INTO THE FRAME WHICH COULD ULTIMATELY CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO CONSUMERS LEADING TO VEHICLE ACCIDENTS ETC. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND HAVE HEARD OF THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENING WITH 2005 & 2006 TACOMAS FROM NUMEROUS OTHER TACOMA OWNERS. THE WELDS AROUND THE MOTOR MOUNT BRACKETS ARE WEAK. THESE SHOULD BE ONE OF THE STRONGEST WELDS ON THE TRUCK. TOYOTA ADVERTISES THEIR TRUCKS FOR OFF ROAD USE YET THEY BARELY HOLD UP TO NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING. I HOPE TOYOTA RESOLVES THIS MATTER ACCORDINGLY. *TR
