Electrical System · at 276,000 miles · reported Oct 5, 2026
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2000 Toyota Tacoma. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was 141,331. At the time of the maintenance, it was discovered that the mileage was 276,000.
Suspension · reported May 19, 2026
My son was driving the 2000 Toyota Tacoma across very smooth transition railroad tracks at about 25 mph and the right front ball joint failed, collapsing the suspension.

I am now aware of past warranty extensions for this matter but Toyota will offer nothing because for my year, this warranty coverage extension is expired. My year was also not part of the recent class action settlement with Toyota vehicles having rusted frames for later models (2004+). I'm left with a decent truck that is useless now. I don't understand why a rusted frame that could crack or break would not constitute a safety recall, which I understand does not expire like their well played…
