Anonymous, CT (2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5 3.5-L V6)"water leaking from 3rd brake light into rear interior of the vehicle causing mildew problems"
Anonymous, MD (2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 3.5-L V6)"Told by dealer that the water from the air conditioner condensation leaked from a clog in the hose that runs under the carpet in the rear compartment. This of course is not a warranty item. It took a while and a lot of effort to get rid of most of the mildew smell."

John B., NJ (2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5 3.5-L V6)"Brand new vehicles should not have rattles in the first 12 months. The problem was a piece of the hand hold on the passenger side somehow was not fit correctly at the factory and started to rub against the dash. Super annoying"

Valerie R., CA (2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-road 2.7-L 4 Cyl)"Interior of truck. A rattles/squeaks coming from the passenger (front) Unable to locate source of noise. Bringing in vehicle to dealer next week to fix this noise"
David H., GA (2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 3.5-L V6)"I noticed a squeak in front of my truck. The dealer body shop told me my front bumper had been hit and the bumper bracket was bent. You could not see anywhere the bumper was hit and they showed me a picture of the bracket, it was really thin. I have never hit anything and am about the only one who drives this truck. I just think that a bumper should take a 5mph hit or something like that before the bracket bends. Also they told me my back bumper was hit and on one side the bracket bent. You could actually see a tiny ding mark in this bumper. I park my truck out away from other cars and haul firewood and bicycles in it most, its not used for work or abused. Pretty wimpy bumper brackets if you ask me."

Anonymous, TN (2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5 3.5-L V6)"Wind noise around mirrors and windows. Very noisy overall in the cab. The dealer couldn't do anything about the noise while the vehicle was under warranty. The mirrors in my last Tacoma had the same problem. No more Tacoma's for us! Very poor workmanship!! Lousy upgrade. I don't imagine Toyota will do a major overhaul of this vehicle because they don't do it for approximately 10 years."
