2017 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

BOUGHT THIS TACOMA TRUCK NEW FROM THE DEALER. IT NOW HAS 16,885 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THE FRONT BRAKES ARE IN THE RED, BAD RANGE, 3/32" OR LESS IN THICKNESS AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. I BELIEVE IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT BRAKES ON A NEW VEHICLE REALLY OUGHT TO LAST TWICE THAT MANY MILES. NOW IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE I WAS NOT SURE IF I SHOULD REPORT THIS TYPE OF ISSUE?

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR-TRUCK STALLED WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSEING AN ACCIDENT.OTHER TRUCKS HAVE BEEN RECALLED SINCE 2017 BUT NOT MINE.NO INSPECTION HAS BEEN MADE I WENT TO DEALER AND CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING.MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND WON'T START SOMETIMES RAN COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS AND THIS SENSOR CAME UP.

Purchased 4 new Firestone Destination LE3 P245/75/R16 tires. I immediately noticed my truck vibrating a lot. The higher rhe speed , the bigger vibration. I took it back twice. The service tech. Indicated that he balanced them, so i took them to another service station. Two front tires wrre determined to be egg-shaped and could not be balanced. They were also noticably a different color than the back two tires as well. I am taking them back to the original seller and having them replaced under the warranty.

Transmission line was described by two auto mechanics (one from a Toyota dealership) as “rusted out” and “porous”, “low pressure/fluid” and “needs to be fixed”. I was totally unaware of the issue until I had to get my AC recharged. Note: this is a 2017 truck with 82,000 miles driven in Massachusetts. No warning lights went off.

Paint is chipping off around rear passenger door On my White 2017 Tacoma, and Toyota wont do anything about it. Paid for paint protection coating for no reason i guess. I am not the only owner going through this there are petitions and forums all over internet too. Toyota should have to fix this problem. We noticed it about 6 months ago and it is steadily getting worse, I am afraid to wash it fear it would get even worse.

It has been well established among 2016 and up Toyota Tacoma owners and clubs that the Rear Coolant Bypass Joint leaks at different mileages, If the loss of coolant happens rapidly enough the engine could overheat and siez up and cause the pistions to weld to the cylinders along with causing extensive engine damage not to mention how the driver would handel the truck, Toyota dealerships and Manufacture also know of This Coolant Bypass joint leak and how common it is. Also the corrosive build up from the antifreeze will cause other parts and wires to not work, Attached is my part and the build up of antifreez before the leak,

We purchased a set of these tires at the end of June and have only about 15,000mi on them now. The embossed tire wear indicators show more than the 80% tread life left. About two weeks or so ago, I noticed a blister on the tire. Looking at it, there were a few tread blocks separating from the carcass. Yes, separation like what caused issues with Firestone and Ford Explorers a while ago! Pictures attached. I tried reaching out directly to Nokian and received no reply. I then tried to contact the seller (Budget Center) and Amazon. Initially, Amazon was helpful and the seller told me to go check at a local store. Now, Amazon says there is nothing that they will do and I have to go through Nokian on my own. Note that I was not asking for a refund, only help contacting Nokian. We have purchased several sets of tires from Amazon and will never again if this is how they handle warrantable defects. Shameful! The consumer was able to get in contact with the manufacture and the new tire is now installed.
