I'm filing this report because the dealership where I purchased and have my vehicle regularly serviced failed to notify us of an active safety recall related to the brake system on our Toyota truck. The dealership is Classic Toyota - located at 2301 W Mercury Blvd, Hampton, VA 23666. The recall was issued in February 2025, yet the vehicle has been serviced by the same Toyota dealer multiple times since then, including an oil change and a state inspection. The dealer never mentioned the open recall or offered to repair it. I bought the truck prior to the recall in July of 2024. We only learned of the recall recently through the Toyota app, not from the dealership. This is unacceptable given that brake recalls pose a serious safety risk. I am requesting an investigation into this dealership's failure to notify or perform the recall repair as required by federal law.
On July 25th 2025 the rear brake hose recall repair was performed on a 2024 Toyota Tacoma by an authorized Toyota dealership at Jim Norton Toyota OKC. Approximately one week later, the passenger side rear brake hose began leaking a significant amount of brake fluid. This triggered the brake warning light and a "Loss of Braking Power" message on the dashboard. The brake pedal became soft, and stopping distance increased noticeably, creating a serious risk to driver and public safety. The vehicle was unsafe to operate and was towed to a dealership. The issue was confirmed by the dealer's service department and repaired. The incident occurred without any prior warning lamps, messages, or symptoms. The problem appears directly related to the recent recall repair, either from improper installation or premature failure of the replacement part.
I have a new 2024 Toyota Tacoma that I purchased December 2024. my dashboard lit up the morning of Thursday, April 17. Drive start warning on the dashboard and a secondary breaking malfunction warning I contacted my local Toyota dealer and informed him that my vehicle is giving me warnings and I only have 13,000 miles on the vehicle. I took the vehicle and they told me that it was the fuel pump they replaced the fuel pump return the vehicle to me, and before I could leave the parking lot both codes on the dashboard shut up again and the vehicle would not move. I am writing this report to document what is going on with the vehicle. I believe that it is a lemon and there's something majorly wrong with it. I brought the vehicle brand new in December and again it's only has 13,000 miles on it right now.
