Did you buy a used Taco? Check this out!

Link wouldn't work for me for some reason

 

YOU BEEN LIED TO!!!!

 

All I have for recall is my floor mats

Edit.. didn't realize this was a 1st gen forum. :-\

 

haha not when you are wheelin on 100+ acres of THEY CANT FIND ME in the backwoods.

 

Thanks for the link!

 

I am the original owner of my 2002 Tacoma DC. I had it serviced at the selling dealer for the first 40,000 miles, and have all records to show for it. None of those records show on the database. My first record shows 11/2005 at 45,000 miles from a different Toyota dealer. On the FAQ on the website it states that some areas were recording from 2004, others were not going until 2007.

As a side note, I recently had access to CarFax free for a month, and checked my truck. The recent (1/2011) oil change I got at a Goodyear Tire Center was listed in the service records part.

 

I checked mine and most of the listing had no information, just this listed

*** OPCODE NOT ON REPORT ***

with the dearler name, date, mileage, and RO#. Does that mean they were too lazy to enter a code for the work done?

sub'd

 

apparently the only time my taco went to the dealership was when it was sold and when i brought it there...i bought my taco more than a year ago with 98k on it... uh oh haha, just gotta show my taco some extra lovin... is there a thread on here about what you should do after 100k?

 

Im glad that that link was useful for some of you. My taco has like 5 pages of dealer visits. I guess there are some lazy dudes in some service depts that dont turn stuff in. That sucks.

 

ronman, thanks for the link. The frame pics are an eye-opener!! I don't see that under mine and I just put a lift on it.

 

Lots of new people come to the game every day, and have never heard any of this. Some have never owned a Toyota or let alone a very used Tacoma before, and may have just registered on TW and never been on a vehicle forum before. All of us were once ignorant of things that we take as "common knowledge" now.

I didn't know about the lower ball joint reacall until last year. Someone posted the Toyota site info, I used it, and my truck was affected by the recall, but they had not been replaced. It may have saved my life from a high-speed wreck...

So let's just keep sharing and not judging, OK?

 

btw ronman... i love the profile pic haha bad@$$

 

My 1999 tacoma.... I bought it last year. I currently am the only one to service this thing at Toyota I guess. It only has the service's i've done. Oh well still runs great I guess

 

hahaha i have abosolutly no records of service. but i know it was always done by 1st( only other owner than me).


so what does everyone think about them telling me that the recall was only for tundras?

 

Thanks scocar and bigbuds. Btw you mean rose buds right?

 

i just looked up my own truck on there, bought it new from the dealer, doesnt show any oil work or other maintenance items, but im religious with my maintenance...

 

I can't get the site to accept my phone number. I get this prompt "
First Driver Primary Phone number is invalid. Please re-enter the ten-digit number"

The info I input is pretty much area, prefix and number. Any ideas?

 

thanks for the info
