2017 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

OXIDATION ON THE UPPER PART OF THE FRONT GLASS, BEING SUCH A MODERN VEHICLE AND HAVING SUCH PROBLEMS IN THE BODYWORK. I WENT TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO CLAIM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NOT A FAULT THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOME KIND OF FAULT, BUT IF WE SEARCH THE ENTIRE ROOF OF MY VEHICLE WE FIND MANY PINTS OF OXIDATION THAT ARE NOT WORKED ON, THEY CAN TURN INTO THE SAME THING THAT IS COMING OUT NOW.

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHTING LEAKS WATER WHEN RAINING/CARWASH THIS CAN GENERATE A SHORT CIRCUIT.

FREEWAY TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING. EDGE OF SOLE OF SHOE CAUGHT UNDER BRAKE PEDAL WHEN TRYING TO STOP ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY AND UNNECESSARILY STOPPED COMPLETELY. THE DELAY IN BRAKING WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH INTO REAR OF CAR IN FRONT HAD I NOT SWERVED INTO MEDIAN WHEN FINALLY ABLE TO START BRAKING. SOLE OF MY ATHLETIC SHOE FLARES OUT A LITTLE WHICH MAY BE PART OF THE PROBLEM. SEAT WAS AS FAR BACK AS IT GOES. PERHAPS DISTANCE TO PEDALS IS TOO SHORT. OTHERWISE, BRAKE PEDAL IS ONE-HALF INCH HIGHER THAN ACCELERATOR.

3RD ROOF BRAKE LIGHT LEAKING WATER INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. SEAL IS NO LONGER WATER TIGHT. CAUSED MOLD ISSUES INTO THE HEADLINER. *TR

THE VEHICLE EMITS A TAPPING SOUND WHILE IDLING, THE NOISE INCREASES WITH ACCELERATION. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE VACUUM PUMP AND WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR VACUUM PUMP, 2017 TACOMA AND THE FIRST THING THAT POPPED UP WAS A RECALL FOR THE VACUUM PUMP ON SOME 2017 TACOMAS BUT NOT MINE SPECIFICALLY. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT BUT I SEE THAT THE VACUUM PUMP HAS IS CONNECTED TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. STRANGE COINCIDENCE. *TR

WENT THROUGH A CAR WASH AND BOTH REAR CORNERS OF THE CAB LEAKED ENOUGH THAT THE WATER WAS GUSHING IN. THE HEADLINER GOT SOAKED, IF THIS HITS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IT COULD SHORT AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AFFECTED ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUTTING DOWN INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT. OR WORSE, COULD DAMAGE THE SRS AIRBAG LOCATED IN THE NEXT TO THE REAR SEATS. THE FILE TYPE OF THE PICTURES I HAVE ARE NOT THE FORMAT ACCEPTED SO THEY WILL NOT UPLOAD.

MY TRUCK STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I LOOKED UP WHAT COULD OF CAUSED THIS AND FIND OUT I MAY HAVE A CRANK POSITION SENSOR THAT'S MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING MY TRUCK TO STALL.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WITH MY BOYFRIEND WHEN HE MOVED IN THE SEAT AND THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAG LIGHTS ON MY DASH CAME ON AND NOW THEY WON'T TURN OFF. *TR

ON ONE OF MY SERVICES I MENTIONED THAT I FEEL THAT THE STANDARD TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR VERY EASY. BECAUSE IT'S NEW TO ME AND IT ALSO HAS SOME KIND OF ANTI ROLL I THOUGHT MAYBE JUST WASN'T WORKING THE PEDAL FAR ENOUGH OR JUST MISSING IT BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM SMOOTH. MY OTHER CONCERN WAS ABOUT SHIFTING OR THY LACK OF ENGAGING IN FOUR WEEK DRIVE. TOYOTA AGREED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID HERE YOU GO. UNFORTUNATELY THE SAME PROBLEMS ARE STILL OCCURRING. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN AT MAUI TOYOTA FOR MONTHS NOW. THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY AGREE THAT IT'S NO BETTER BUT THA IT'S IN RUNNING CONDITION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO ALL SERVICE HONOLULU WHERE I HAVE BEEN BASICALLY LEFT BLIND. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A CRITICAL SITUATION GOING ON SO I FIGURED THAT HAS PART TO DO WITH NOT GETTING ANY UPDATES. YESTERDAY MAUI TOYOTA CALLS AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED ON TUESDAY. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SAY THE LEAST. I DON'T WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT ACTS LIKE ONE THEY SAID WAS NOT RIGHT. I WANT A PROPER FUNCTIONING VEHICLE THAT WILL LAST THAT'S WHY THIS IS MY FOURTH TOYOTA TRUCK.

OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED UPON REMOVAL, WAS PUT BACK ON AND LEAKED ALL OIL FROM ENGINE. SUPRISED MOTOR DID NOT SEIZE WHILE DRIVING. TERRIBLE DESIGN
