2010 Tacoma 4x4 Recall: front drive shaft

I was just at the dealer (who also sells Honda and Toyos) and the dealers are PISSED! They told me this situation has tripled the interest in the Frontiers. The sales guy said they don't carry any Frontiers that often but now with the surge in demand they are brining in all models of the 2010 Frontier. I walked over to the Toyota side and talked to one sales mgr who was smoking outside and he said sales were already terrible for 2009 and this whole situation has put them in a very bad financial situation. There is rumor at the dealership the FJ Cruiser might be next on the recall list. The sales mgr said this is a nightmare as they get like 1000 calls a day now in regards to this recall stuff. They sold so many 2010 Tacos and people are now calling demanding refunds (they are in a panic and do not realize their Taco is not effected)! Said one guy just wanted to return the truck (lemon law) and buy a Frontier instead. Not that will happen but... I think the Frontier is going to be selling more this year. Let's hope there isn't a recall on them!!!

I don't look down on Toyota what so ever when recalls are issued, at least they truly back up their products, no fights. Little tiny problems(except throttle issues, haha) are turned into recalls, costing the owner nothing and no problems what so ever.

My buddy's 00 4Runner TRD supercharged was making some awful noises at high RPM from the SC, toyota ripped it apart and installed new bearings because it something "known to wear out" ... he's 80k miles past warranty, they even put new bulbs in his fog lights while it was there, left without paying a dime, gah, made me hate our local nissan dealership even more seeing how my buddy was treated at the toyota dealership.

Yeah, all dealerships are different, but I feel that toyota is a great manufacture and company overall, so is nissan, but they've got to stop being so uptight... they're uptight about everything to save money, but if they let loose for a while, word gets out, more people buy, they make more money.


I wish nissan would just accept that our truck have sh***y U-joints all over, like china-glass differentials, exploding transmission coolers on the 05's, etc.. and fix em' with no fuss without robbing us and calling us liars because they don't know how we treat our trucks, other than that, great truck for the $$$ Titan differentials, here I come. The service manager at my local nissan dealer was telling me he's been a frightened at some of the new trucks they're getting in... he was telling me that he has seen the transmissions going kookie on the newest altima's, they've had two new GTR's sold with major timing issues right off the floor (they sell a bunch of em believe it or not) within the past couple months, but he did tell me he doesn't see too many frontiers coming in for service.

Burnin' out like wild in my uncle's TRD 06 supercharged tacoma on the pavement and out on the desert is just a blast, those differentials take it all very well at over 100K miles on the truck, I've got nothing to complain about that truck of his at all, he beats the living p*** out of it and hasn't fixed a thing.
