Toyota Tacoma Change Vehicle

"I have had difficulty with the brakes on this car since the day that I bought it. I took it back to the dealer time and time again, complaining that it seemed the master cylinder was bad or there was air in the brake lines -- the brake pedal would gradually go to the floor when I applied pressure to the pedal. I needed to "pump up" the pedal at times. I actually practiced applying the parking brake while driving so that I would be prepared for the day when the brakes completely failed me. Fi"

"I have had difficulty with the brakes in this vehicle since the day I bought it brand new. I took it back to the dealer repeatedly telling them that the master cylinder was faulty. The dealer finally admitted that the master cylinder was faulty and replaced the master cylinder after more than 60,000 miles of complaints. Of course, they charged me for the repair. The dealer also replaced the squeaking brake pads. The new ones squeak, too. I'm very, very disappointed with this vehicle."

"I am frustrated by the very "soft" brake pedal. During hard or extended braking, the pedal goes nearly to the floor. The Toyota dealer says it is normal. This is my first Toyota. I have had Hondas, Fords, and BMWs, none has ever had such a problem"

"squeak fixed still does"

"This is the 3rd time that I had to replace my brakes since I bought the truck new and I don't even carry a lot of heavy stuff in it."

"My technician tells me I don't use my brakes hard enough. Consequently the rotors rust, causing excess pad wear."

"week brakes especially when loaded or towing"

"When breaking brakes caused vibration. Rotors had to be resurfaced"

"To my way of thinking rotors should be made of a material that ,at least, resists rust. I do not race from traffic light to traffic light and slam on the brakes. thus my rotors seldom get real hot. Your testing shows that Tacmas' have the longest stopping distance of all mid sized pickups. Perhaps, that is part of the problem."

"When I drive with the window down I can hear a slight metal on metal grinding noise"

"The brakes began to squeak in this vehicle, and the dealer told me the brake pads were worn and needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced the pads. The brakes continue to squeak. Did I needlessly pay $600 for new brake pads? Did the dealer even change the pads?"

"When backing up, the brakes make this high pitched squeal. This squeal only occurs when you back up with your foot on the brake pedal"

"high pitch"

"still squeaks"

"Springs were subject to recall. It took close to a year to get the replacement parts in stock at the Toyota dealer"

"Had to replace the passenger and driver side leaf springs. Problem is quite common with Tacomas as there was three other Tacomas at the spring shop with broken leaf springs"

"Roaring noise. Repaired under warranty"

"There's a wire rattling sound in the central console area that hasn't become annoying enough to get fixed in an off-road vehicle."

"The front windshield did not have a proper seal and would whistle at higher speeds"

"Just minor rattles in front windshield/dash and passenger side window or door (not sure of either noise origin, but generally in those areas)"

"In rough roads, makes a rattling sound under the truck."

"Rattle in drivers side upper dash."

"In dash rattle, right side at airbag"

"Blower fan noise"

"wind noise from door seals"

"Very loud wind noise under highway speeds"

"This truck from new has way to much wind & road noise!"

"Whistle driving into a strong wind."

"High pitched noise from windshield at hwy speeds. Originally dealer couldn't replicated but found a service bulletin reference on web...dealer removed windshield and reinstalled which has solved problem. Covered by warranty"

"Constant noise, rattles, vibration. Dealer unable to locate issue"

"The vehicle developed a vibration that required attention. Was not inoperable, but there was no doubt of a problem. Turns out it was a known problem with a recall, however I had it repaired before I knew that. Required U-Joints and CV joint."

"Drive shaft vibration from 15-40 mph. U-joint noise (clunking) has just started and will need replacements. Likely due to incorrect drive shaft angles from factory. Multiple Toyota TSBs to address the issue, but dealer says "Normal condition of th"

"The TSB indicated a vibration and knock. Toyota fixed it for free"

"spline clunked when you stopped. They finally replace the yoke on the drive shaft."

"the driveshaft had to be replaced because it exhibited a cushy feeling when starting from a dead stop or coming to a dead stop when braking"

"The alternator failed and had to be replaced."

"it started about a year ago"

"CLEAR COAT FADE AND FLAKS"

"Paint scratches off extremely easily revealing white primer below. Truck is now covered in small scratches. My wife's Mini has much more durable paint"

"Very thin paint job..very easily scratched"

"door edge on passenger side"

"Abnormally huge amount of underbody rust, including the recalled but unavailable leaf springs. Non-dealer mechanics say it is outside the norm and recommend a $500 rust removal and sealant job. This is my last Toyota because of the dealer's attitude"

"Rear bumper and front grilled was replaced because of rust pits in the chrome"

"Factory recall"

"the muffler developed a perforation"

"I purchased the vehicle in September 2019. The muffler needed to be replaced July 2020. Apparently it is the 3rd muffler on the truck."

"I bought a new set of tires at Sam's Club last July. On 3 different occasions the tire sensor light came on so i took my Tacoma to a dealership where they informed me I needed to replace one of the tire sensors. At a cost of $300. Not sure who or what caused the issue, as I nevervhad the problem until I replaced the tires."

"rust- actually the entire underside of the truck ha a lot of rust"

"factory recall"

"the truck lost power ,and smell very strong emissions"

"The right side upstream sensor failed causing check engine light to come on. Dealer also recommended replacing downstream sensor (same side) as it was producing a borderline low signal."

"in 2016 the tacoma have problems with , oxygen sensor , and other problems in the combustion system."

"Slips a truch if it does not warm up"

"Leaked from rear transmission seal. Required two visits to repair, but cost less than $200 and is no longer an issue."

"The transmission drain pan sealant dried out and began to leak. I live in the desert. The drain pan had to be removed and new sealant applied. I asked that there be a gasket applied rather than a re-application sealant that had already demonstrated that it dries out and leaks. I was told that a gasket is not available for my drain pan."

"As per Toyota's Technical Service Bulletin T-SB-0066-11 The clutch friction plate was made with defective materials causing premature wear and clutch slipping. Out of warranty, they did not cover 100%. Did cover 75% after many calls to management"

"There was a part in the clutch that wore out within 25,000. The dealership replaced the clutch"
