2017 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHARGING PAD OVERHEATED CAUSING THE PAD'S SURFACE TO BUBBLE UP. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH A QI WIRELESS PHONE CHARGING PAD AND THE RUBBER PAD HAD OVERHEATED CAUSING THE SURFACE OF THE PAD TO BUBBLE UP. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER SERVCO TOYOTA (2990 AUKELE ST. LIHUE, HI) AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HEATER STOPPED WORKING. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AND WAS PROBABLY DUE TO A BURNT UP CONNECTION AT SEAT HEATER AMP LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND TOLD THEM THERE IS A VISIBLY BURNT CONNECTION BUT WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE I WAS 600 MILES PAST WARRANTY, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I CALLED TOYOTA USA AND GOT A CASE NUMBER AND WAS AGAIN TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.WITH ALL THE IMAGES OF BURNT CONNECTORS THIS SEEMS TO BE A FIRE HAZARD.

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SHIFTING FROM 4TH OR 5TH GEAR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REACH HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH IN THIS AREA IS 70 MPH. THE TRUCK WOULD STICK AND THE RPMS WOULD GO ABOVE 3000 RPM. I HAD TOYOTA OF MIDLAND LOOK AT THIS ON 03/07/19. IN APRIL I CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY ASSIGNED CASE #1904152129 AND SENT A CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE HERE ON 04/24/19. THE CORPORATE REP, ALONG WITH A LOCAL TECHNICIAN, HOOKED UP A COMPUTER AND RODE WITH ME AND WITNESSED THE SHIFTING PROBLEM. THE CORPORATE REP. SAID THAT THIS WASN'T ANY FAULT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE LOCAL TECHINICIAN SAID THAT HIS 2017 TACOMA WAS DOING THE SAME THING. ON 01/22/2020 I BROUGHT MY TACOMA IN FOR IT'S 30K MAINTANCE AND TOLD THE SEVICE WRITER ABOUT THIS ISSUE AGAIN. THE SERVICE WRITER SAID THAT HE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WHEN HE OWNED A 2017 & 2019 TACOMA, AND REMEDED THE PROBLEM WHEN HE TRADED FOR A 2020 TACOMA.. THIS IS MY FAMILIES 5TH TOYOTA VEHICLE; IT WILL BE MY LAST TOYOTA.

AFTER SMELLING GAS IN THE CABIN OF THE TRUCK FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WITH NO APPARENT PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE HANDLING AND PERFORMANCE, THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN IN FOR IT'S REGULAR SERVICE. FUEL LINES GOING INTO THE ENGINE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WERE LEAKING AT A COUPLING JUST BEFORE THE INJECTORS. THE FIRST HALF INCH OF THE HOSE BEFORE THE COUPLING WAS DELAMINATED DUE TO FUEL BEING FORCED BETWEEN THE SHEATHING AND THE HOSE. TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER HAD NOT SEEN THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT.

GOOD MORNING. SINCE I DRIVE THIS TACOMA I NOTICE THE POWER TRAIN HAS A SLOW RESPONSE DRIVING SMALL ROAD OR HIGHWAY.WENT I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT MAKE ROUGH SOUND AND I HAVE TO PRESS HARDER IN ORDER TO CONTINUE THE CAR RUNNING. I BROUGHT THE CONCERN TO THE DEALER DURING THE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE BUT THEY SAID IS NORMAL, EVEN I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER SAME TOYOTA THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. PLEASE KEEP ME UPDATED IF ANY CAMPAIG ABOUT 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA'S THANKING IN ADVANCE FOR HELPING IN THIS MATTER.

I HAVE A 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH 90,000 MILES ON IT. THE WIND SHIELD IS NOT VERY RESISTANT TO ABRASION, AS THE WINDOW HAS NOW BECOME CLOUDY DUE TO THE ABRASIVENESS OF ROAD DUST, ETC., ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SUN IS AT A LOW ANGLE. SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE. I DON'T KNOW IF OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BUT I THINK A BETTER QUALITY WIND SHIELD IS NEEDED TO HELP PREVENT THIS PITTING AND CHIPPING. IT CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING THAT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE DURING DRIVING, WHEN THE SUN GLARE SHINES AGAINST THE PITS AND CHIPS. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON ANY VEHICLE UNDER A FEW YEARS OLD.

TWO MAJOR ISSUES ON MY TRUCK: 1) THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION HAS BEEN SQUEAKING WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT. 2) THE RADIO UNIT REBOOTS ITSELF RANDOMLY AND MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A SHORT DRIVE RENDERING THE BACKUP CAMERA USELESS.

WATER LEAK INTO THE REAR OF THE CAB. TOYOTA KNOWS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY DECLINE WARRANTY ON IT. THEY ONLY HAVE A T-SB-0055-18 BUT IF THE CUSTOMER DOESNT RESEARCH FOR IT ONLINE THEY WILL NOT EVEN TELL THE CUSTOMER. THE WATER LEAK CAUSE MOLD IN THE CAR AND EVERYTHING IS WET ON IT. OUR CAR HAS NOW 38000 MILES. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE CAR AND THE MOLD WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO GET SICK. TOYOTA WANTS A CUSTOMER TO PAY MORE THAN $10,000 TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS CAUSE BY THEM. PLEASE HELP ABOUT THIS.

THE VEHICLE SURGES WHEN BACKING UP IN REVERSE AND WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF BRAKE PEDAL IN DRIVE.
