NHTSA Complaint #11151526 — 2006 TOYOTA TACOMA

BUENA PARK TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK. THEY SAY IT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL SHOCKS. MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED FROM BUENA PARK TOYOTA AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE AND I HAVEN'T MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE TRUCK. THE WAY IT SITS NOW IS THE WAY I BOUGHT IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP AS A CERTIFIED VEHICLE. THE REAR LEAF SPRING HAS HIT THE FUEL TAKE A FEW TIMES AND BOTTOMS OUT ON EVERY LITTLE BUMP (WHICH IS WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR) AND EVERYTHING ON THE REAR SUSPENSION IS EXACTLY THE WAY IT CAME FROM TOYOTA. THEY TOLD ME IF I WANTED TO HAVE THE ITEMS REPLACED I WOULD HAVE TO PUT ALL THE OEM STUFF BACK ON THE VEHICLE BUT THAT'S THE WAY THIS DEALER SOLD IT TO ME.
