    Climate System

    AC compressor, blower (fan) motor, condenser, evaporator, heater system, automatic climate system, electrical failure, refrigerant leakage.

    What Owners Say

    A/C compressor

    "It started a couple years ago with less cooling ability and finally quit completely."

    Anonymous, GA (2008 Toyota Tacoma Base 4.0-L V6)

    ""I noticed that I wasn't getting the level of cooling I was used to last summer and my A/C indicator was flashing. I lifted the hood and saw that the compressor was not engaging th belt drive. I have a friend that ran a test of the A/C system and informed me that the compressor needs to be replaced. I has over 200,000 miles on it. I will order one and replace it myself.""

    Anonymous, MN (2008 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner 4.0-L V6)

    "It failed, needs replaced. I troubleshooted all the minor issues but my mechanic stated the compressor was shot."

    Anonymous A., PA (2008 Toyota Tacoma Base 2.7-L 4 Cyl)

    ""started last summer, truck not cooling found out the compressor not working would cost a lot of $$$$ to fix issue""

    Anonymous A., MD (2008 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner 4.0-L V6)
    Blower (fan) motor

    ""From what Ive read, these models are notorious for the clearcoat to degrade. When I bought the car used in 2014, it already had significant clearcoat burn. Basically the clearcoat had degraded to where it was no longer protecting the paint. This mustve been a paint, formulation problem or a preparation problem at auto plant. Ive seen a lot of different models from the same area have this problem and I was very surprised that it was not addressed in a recall as it seems to be universal with a Toyota your models from certain plants. I think Toyota should have been forced to repaint these cars as they affect the resale value. The fan motor stopped working in any position except on high. Also: the valve cover started leaking and I had to replace the cover as well as the gasket. Apparently the valve cover is plastic and it becomes brittle over time.""

    Anonymous, CA (2008 Toyota Tacoma Base 2.7-L 4 Cyl)
    Other climate system problem

    "Some vents were not circulating cool air. The repair shop replaced the refrigerant, and now the system is working fine."

    Anonymous, CA (2008 Toyota Tacoma Base 2.7-L 4 Cyl)
    Refrigerant leaks

    ""Guessing a leak is the problem, as cooling performance dropped over a few weeks time. Have not had it checked or repaired yet.""

    Anonymous, HI (2008 Toyota Tacoma Base 2.7-L 4 Cyl)

    ""before compressor went out the truck was not cooling a check found it to below freon, used a stop leak to fix problem and it worked find for several weeks then the compressor stop working.""

    Anonymous A., MD (2008 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner 4.0-L V6)

    Exhaust

    Muffler, pipes, catalytic converter, exhaust manifold, heat shields, leaks.

    What Owners Say

    Other exhaust system problem

    ""This appears to be a common problem with Toyota Tacoma and Tundras. As the more expensive vehicle, Toyota extended the warranty for Tundra's to have the dealership replace the system for free. Tacoma owners are just out of luck. This system is to blow remaining exhaust into the exhaust system for first 45 seconds or so when initially cranked. If the system is locked in the open. position, the engine loses power. It is poorly designed.""

    Anonymous, GA (2008 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner 2.7-L 4 Cyl)
    Other/unsure

    "The frame is corroding just in front of the rear wheels to the point that the frame will not pass inspection in two years."

    Anonymous, WV (2008 Toyota Tacoma Base 2.7-L 4 Cyl)

    Anonymous, MN (2008 Toyota Tacoma Base 4.0-L V6)
