There is a large screen in the vehicle and the OEM sends messages to me that are extremely distracting and hazardous as the one I recently received was recall notice telling me that the rear axel could fall off the car. I received this "text" while I was driving down the interstate at 65 MPH and it scared me and gave me a panic attack. It is illegal for me as a driver to text and drive yet it seems perfectly ok for the OEM to text me while I am driving and foces me to read their message. This is a flagrant and completely obvious safety hazard. Why the engineers at Toyota were not smart enough to realiz this is a preventable safety hazard is shocking! It is also shocking at the federal regulators are not taking action without prodding from a consumer. Please fix this safety hazard as in

Our nonprofit agency raised funds to purchase a brand new $57,000 Tacoma for our food bank deliveries and when it was shipped to Molokai from Oahu, the air conditioner does not work. With the current heat wave, it is a danger! I called the sales dept, who referred me to management, who referred me to customer care who referred me to service dept who referred me to customer care again who referred me to sales. I called 7 different entities...an endless loop. NO ONE will help us. There is no "authorized " Toyota dealer on our island and it will cost me $1000+ to ship it to Honolulu, just to have someone tell us what’s wrong. I don't even believe this is the way the mission and vision of Toyota is carried out. The way we have been treated and devalued as a cash paying customer is beyond ethi

I started up my Toyota Tacoma early morning on [XXX] and noticed the engine light came on after it warmed up in the cold climate of Northern Arizona. As such, this occurred at 36,303 miles. The fault code stated the following: “A malfunction in the electronic control of the engine, throttle, or automatic transmission has been detected. Contact your Toyota dealer in order to have your vehicle inspected.” Later in the day, I scheduled an appointment for December 14, 2024 at Anderson Toyota. I explained the situation and was disappointed to get an engine light so early, as it didn’t make any sense. Afterwards, at 8:47 PM from getting off work, I intuitively decided to check the engine compartment as the lady with the dealership claimed if rats chewed up the wires it wouldn’t be covered und

I purchased my vehicle (Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO) on September 23, 2022 and identified issues with all of the exterior cameras immediately. I scheduled an appointment with Toyota to inspect the problem with blurry cameras on September 29, 2022, but they advised that all 2022 vehicles have similar blurriness issues. I also own a 2018 Toyota Highlander that has a much more crisp image, so I know Toyota has a problem with the cameras. Fast forward to approximately November 20, 2022 when my first problem occurred. I was backing into a parking space that had a shopping cart that was left on the sidewalk behind my parking space. Knowing that I was clear to park, I proceeded to back into the space, but as I started to back up, the already blurry camera flared up because of the direct sunlight and I

The vehicle since approximately 45,000 miles had exhibited occasional steering wheel jitter that would go away when traveling at high speeds. In addition to the steering wheel jitter, the vehicle would pull to the right when traveling and required continued contact with the steering wheel. Dealerships had indicated the vehicle needed an alignment since approximately 30,000 miles. Wheel balancing performed at discount tire acceptably reduced the amount that the vehicle pulls towards the right when traveling at highway speeds. At 78k miles when visiting an alignment service center the technician indicated that the wheel bearing on the front passenger side required replacement and then demonstrated lateral play in the wheel that permitted a quarter inch to 3/8th inches of play.

Truck has 3900 miles on it. From day 1, the brakes almost go down to the floor when sitting at a stop. If you press the brakes normally during driving, they seem to be okay, but if you sit at a stop, you can practically push the pedal to the floor. The only time I have ever experienced this is when you have a leak in the system or one of the brake components, such as the master cylinder, has failed. I spoke to one Toyota dealer and they said that there is a seal in the master cylinder that goes bad. I took my truck to my local Toyota dealer yesterday and they said that this was normal and that they have had other customers report the same issue. While I believe the dealer is going off the information that they have, I believe there is something truly wrong with these Tacoma brakes. I am a

The contact owned a 2022 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, upon reaching his destination, shifting the vehicle into the park position, and exiting, the vehicle began to roll away. The driver was unable to stop the vehicle, and as a result, the vehicle rolled off the roadway, coming to a complete stop at the bottom of a 25-foot embankment. The vehicle's location required specialized recovery, and upon extracting the vehicle, the recovery specialist confirmed that the shifter was shifted into the park position. All air bags were deployed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a towed yard and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider.
