2025 Toyota Tacoma owner complaints

Both front drivers and front passenger interior door handles became inoperable. First the passenger side. Dealer replaced defective part. Now the driver side leaving the driver and passenger inside the car without being able to exit the vehicle. The occurrences did not happen luckily during a roadside event, otherwise the passengers would have experienced the inability to exit the vehicle.

2025 Toyota Tacoma SR5 passenger inner door handle is broken and will not open the door. This is a big safety concern as you cannot open the door from the inside if there is an emergency. Driver side inner door handle was replaced by the dealer due to the exact same problem. The issue is well known and this needs to be recalled,11,500 miles on vehicle.

Door Handle on inside broke, preventing normal egress. Yes is has been verified by dealership and they wait for parts for repair. No lamps or warnings. Door just quit functioning. As I am disabled this may be more alarming for me than others.

Interior drivers door handle no longer opens door. Making it impossible to open from the inside. Dealer claims replacement parts are on a 4-6 week backorder and hinted toward it being a common issue.

Inside door handles continue to break at random . Small internal piece will snap and door handle no longer functions from the inside. Almost every other owner of the same year and model has had the same issue on every single interior door handle, on MULTIPLE occasions!

While driving on a dry, clearly marked two-lane highway in Montana, I had Lane Tracing Assist and Active Lane Keep/Track Assist turned on. My hands were on the steering wheel, speed was within the limit, and visibility was clear. The truck unexpectedly steered itself out of the lane toward the right-side guard rail. There were no audible or visual lane-departure alerts, no “steering assist canceled” message, and the Pre-Collision System did not apply braking before impact. The vehicle struck the guard rail. The system failed on multiple safety layers — no lane warning, no steering correction, and no automatic braking — under normal conditions (dry pavement, well-painted lane lines, daylight). I believe this represents a malfunction or defect in the driver-assist software or sensor calibra

My Toyota Tacoma door handle fails to open from the inside. My truck has around 13,000 miles on it and I’ve only opened that door maybe 100 times over the past year. Toyota claims it’s a wear issue but multiple posts have similar incidents with no damage to them. They just fail to work. If I had a medical emergency with my type 1 diabetes or an accident and couldn’t get out of the car it could be extremely dangerous.

I was unable to exit my vehicle because my driver door handle wouldn’t open my door….I had to call for assistance in a disabled parking space at the Veteran hospital to open the door from the outside because I was unable to reach the outside handle due to my disability.

When attempting to exit the vehicle from the driver seat, the interior door handle no longer will open the door. A mechanism within the door has broken and does not allow it to be opened from the inside. There is an audible difference between the broken driver side and the working passenger side when working the handle. The exterior handle on the driver door still works.

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the driver noticed an abnormal sound while exiting the vehicle. In addition, the internal door handle was fractured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the internal door mechanism had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the parts were on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 7,055.

The vehicle was being operated in 4-wheel-drive, mode 4H, and when turning to the left at low speed, there was a grinding noise from the front of the vehicle and it would not proceed. The vehicle had to be put back in 2-wheel-drive, mode 2H, put in reverse, backed up a short distance, and then put back in drive, and then it was able to proceed. This is likely the CV joint issue reported in other 2024 and 2025 Toyota Tacomas. The dealer has been notified, and the vehicle will be taken in for service.

The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under the recall, but the failure occurred. The dealer was contacted but was unable to duplicate the failure. The service advisor associated the failure with the recall. The manufacturer was contacted and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

My 2025 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter consistently experiences a severe loss of engine power while driving in rainy conditions. During precipitation, the vehicle suddenly loses acceleration capability, sputters, and becomes highly unresponsive, creating an immediate highway hazard as it cannot maintain traffic speeds. I suspect water ingress through the high-mount air intake (snorkel) system or factory airbox is affecting the engine's airflow sensors or electrical connectors. This happens every time I drive in heavy rain. I have brought it to 2 dealerships immediately after this has happened and both times I was told to just keep driving it until im stranded on the roadside because that's what roadside assistance is for. One time I had a car full of kids and they still told me to drive it unti

Supplemental Safety Description I am submitting this supplemental statement to provide a complete and consolidated description of the ongoing safety concern affecting my vehicle. Vehicle Behavior and Safety Symptoms During normal driving conditions, the vehicle consistently exhibits directional instability, including pulling to one side and difficulty maintaining straight-line tracking. Steering control feels unstable, and the vehicle experiences abnormal harshness and vertical movement over the road surface. The vehicle often feels difficult to control and demonstrates behavior consistent with lateral misalignment, including a crab-walking sensation. During rapid left and right steering inputs, the vehicle exhibits abnormal and asymmetric body movement. One side of the vehicle body rises

Vehicle Cannot Be Safely Driven – Structural / Suspension Defect Suspected – Dealer Claims “Repair Completed” Despite Unequal Wheelbase My vehicle is currently unsafe to operate, due to the following critical issues: ⸻ 1. Left–right wheelbase inconsistency The front and rear wheelbase measurements are not equal side-to-side. This is a strong indicator of structural deviation, such as: •Subframe misalignment •Control arm mounting point displacement •Deformed suspension components •Manufacturing or assembly error in chassis geometry ⸻ 2. Front caster angles remain abnormal •Left caster: 3.9° •Right caster: 4.9° •Cross-caster difference: 1.0° A 1° difference exceeds manufacturer tolerances and causes: •Vehicle drifting •Poor straight-line stability •Uneven steering return •Potential in

Inner door handle broke under normal use and toyota cant replace this due to mass failures across the country in all 4th generation tacomas. Mass backorders. I have been driving for at least 2 months with no way to exit my vehicle in case of emergency.

I own a 2025 Toyota Tacoma, and the interior driver’s door handle assembly has failed, preventing me from opening the driver’s door normally from inside the vehicle. The failure occurred at around 11000 miles during normal use without any accident, impact, or unusual force. The Tacoma had routine maintenance done at dealership at around 10682 miles. The handle became suddenly inoperable, leaving me unable to open the driver’s door from inside the cabin using the interior door handle. I must roll down the window and operate the exterior handle to exit through that door. This presents a potential safety hazard because, in an emergency such as a vehicle fire or collision, I may be unable to exit promptly through the driver’s door. The failure occurred suddenly without adequate warning. I c

Tire size is 245/75r17, noraml driving speed @ 70mph and got flat. This vehicle is less than 8000 miles and already had (2) flat tires in the span of less than 6 month, 1st incident happened on 9/08/2025 and 2nd incident on 12/10/2025.

I was driving to work when after running across a minor pothole I heard a clunking sound. It turns out it's the top cap for the front coil-over Bilstein shocks had broken allowing the shaft and the bump stop to protrude through the upper mounting plate. The coil did its job of keeping the vehicle suspended, but the shock piston has no ability to alleviate any stresses put upon the coil. Dealer states that because there was an outside contribution, i.e. a pothole, which had been driven around and over many times before, wasn't warrantable. There was no more than standard bump and sway than when driving around as usual. There was no shudder as though I was going too fast for the defect in the road. I dont know if there was pre existing stress damage from a recent collision(opposite corner of

My 2025 Toyota Tacoma has an ongoing issue where Apple CarPlay frequently disconnects or fails to connect altogether. This happens both at startup and randomly while driving. The problem occurs across multiple iPhones, different cables, and even after ensuring that both the phone and the truck’s software are updated.
