Vehicle shuts off in stop and go traffic.
Spark plugs failed.
Engine computer failure.
Truck's gauge went in the red zone hot, i immediately pulled over and towed it to hansel toyota.i was then informed that it may be under the recall issue.alot of 1995 toyota p/u were recalled same year, make and model along with the v6 engine size. When the service rep. Punched in my truck's vin#, i was told that it was not in the recall series of vin #'s.but it seems odd that the same year, make, model and v6 engine size was recalled for the same problem that i'm having in my truck and my vin # wasn't recalled.i have had the water pump and the thermostat was replace by hansel toyota.they didn't know if the water pump and thermostat was damaged until they have the engine apart.they did show that the head gasket was difnitely damaged by the diagnostic test that they ran.i think thatit should be under the same recall, because the same year, make and model al ong with the v6 engine are having the same problems.

Drove truck to work. Upon parking noticed gasoline pouring out from under vehicle. Had truck towed to dealer where i was informed that the component going into the gas tank had rusted through. This truck has had very limited exposure to salt here in tennessee. I bought the truck new. Also i recently had to replace both the front rotors due to rusting. I feel this presents a real safety hazard and that toyota should use better materials in their gas lines.

I own a 1995 toyota extended cab pickup.it is a 2wd car, no power steering.there is a recall on the relay rods for other model toyota cars covering my year but not for my year.recently, steering the car became unsafe (somewhat loose).i jacked the car up and noticed that the relay rod was separating near the idler arm.i took digital photos.local dealer eventually paid for the relay rod work after claiming it, but would not pay for the parts for the idler arm & steering damper, which are associated with the relay rod & will wear quicker with a relay rod separating like mine was.i request that the nhtsa please review this matter and assist in having the full parts claim paid.had i not caught the relay rod failure at the time i did, i am informed by a mechanic that i would have lost all control of the car (catastrophic failure).toyota initially fully denied my claim as not being part of the 2005 recall, but due to the dealers assistance they covered just the parts & labor on the relay rod.i can email the digital photos of the failing relay rod.had it not been caught & changed i am informed it would have resulted in a catastrophic failure / loss of vehicle control.
Luckily i was going very slow into a parking spot....if this had happened going down i-95 traveling 70+ i wouldn't be here right now. Take care, john c. Groth hi chris, the latest recall reminded me of something. Even though my toyota is a 1995...my drag link snapped in dec 02. The fwd message is one i replied to a friend of mine. And the toyota dealership is not yours....it was one in fayetteville, nc when i was living there while in the air force. Take care, cliff date: fri, 20 may 2005 10:08:14 -0700 (pdt) from: "cliff groth" subject: re: drag link to: [email protected] hi scott!, yeah i had a drag link that just snapped! i was pulling into the shoppette parking lot on pope and soon as i turned left into a spot....bang it snapped. Luckily i was going very slow...because once it snapped i lost steering and was not going where i wanted...headed straight toward a parked car. The steering wheel was free wheeling! i e-mailed toyota and sent pictures...they seemed the least bit concerned. So i went to the toyota dealership...and they accused me of hitting a pot hole...lol after that i gave up....and just tried to notify all my friends who might have a 1995 model. To at least get the drag link checked for cracks. Red line auto shop just down manchester rd. Off pope did my repair work. They said a "drag link" should never snap or break...parts attached to it might wear out, but a drag link is made to outlast the vehicle. Well didn't mean to write a book...nice hearing from you. I thought of my drag link the second i heard about that toyota recall too. My toyota is a 1995. Have attached some pictures...i think i sent them to you before, but if not here are a few.take care my friend,cliff scott wrote:cliff, didn't you have a problem with the drag link on your toyota? i was thinking about the recall and wondered if that was your year? scott.
The contact owns a 1995 toyota pickup. The contact stated that his vehicle was included in the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 05v389000 steering linkages, rod relay connecting. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but the contact was informed they could not repair the vehicle since the idler arm was stuck within the steering column.approximately five years later, the contact attempted to turn the left turn signal but it would not respond. The turn signal would not function because the alignment within the steering column was not correct. The failure was not diagnosed by the dealer. The failure mileage was 85,000 and the current mileage was 103,000.

Prior to the inspection while driving she heard a peculiar noise coming from the bottom of the vehicle. The current and failure mileages were 148321.updated 11/10/09 updated 11/16/09.
This is concerning another rusty toyota truck frame.my truck frame is rusted completely through with at least one hole the size of a softball.i see that the 95.5 year truck was recalled why wasn't mine too?mine is a '95 model so i barely missed the cut off which makes it hurt all the more. Why was the cutoff set after my truck?what determined the cutoff point?from what i have read there are a lot of older toyota trucks with frames rusted completely in half and mine is not far behind them.my truck is in good shape except of course for the frame.the body doesn't have any holes although there is some rust.i have taken care of this truck and have had it almost ten years and would certainly be able to drive it quite a few more years if it wasn't about ready to rust in half.it's not safe so what should i do?continue to drive it and risk my life and the lives of others because of a defect from toyota?i do believe they should be held responsible for this and my truck either repaired or some compensation for me.i would think the frame would have been made out of a heavier gauge steel than the body panels and well out lasted every other metal part on the truck seeing it is the "backbone" of the vehicle so obviously there is a problem that should be a concern of your agency.
Wind noisy vehicle.
Leaf spring assembly failure.
The vehicle had only liabiliy insurance at the time of the accident, so allstate paid no money. A claim was filed through firestone. After sending the failed tire along with pictures and estimates of the vehicles (there was a motorcycle in the bed of the truck at the time of the accident), firestone had sent me a reply back stating that the tires tread peeled due to an improper repair. The only repair that i am currently aware of was done only days before the tire peeled, leaving no time for the tread breakdown to occur. The repair was done at a repair shop. I currently have the peeled tread from the tire and firestone is sending the complete tire back to me in the near future.(dot number: vd60axc195tiresize: 31x10.5r15)
