2015 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

MY STEPSON WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, HE STOPPED, THEN THE TOYOTA TACOMA LUNGED FORWARD CRASHING INTO OUR GARAGE. I HAD NOTICED SINCE LEASING THE TRUCK IN JULY OF 2015, THAT ONCE IN A WHILE I WOULD COME TO A STOP AND IT FELT LIKE I JUST GOT REAR ENDED BUT NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS WET, IT MADE A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE AND EXTREME MOISTURE ACCUMULATED IN THE DOOR WELL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500. ......UPDATED 04/01/16 *BF CONSUMER STATED PROBLEM IS UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT CUT IN CARPET FOR SOME KIND OF HOSE COMING THRU FLOOR BOARD, FOGGING WINDOWS AND ICE COLD AIR COMING THUR FLOOR BOARD. UPDATED 6/7/18*JB

MY TRUCKS HEADRESTS ARE TILTED SO FAR FORWARD THAT IT CAUSES SIGNIFICANT PAIN IN MY NECK. THEY CAME THIS WAY FROM THE FACTORY. I HAVE TO TURN THE HEADREST AROUND TO RELIEVE THE PAIN, WHICH THEN EXPOSES ME TO AN EVEN HIGHER RISK OF WHIPLASH. YOU IDIOTS AT NHTSA WHO CHANGED THE REGULATIONS SO THAT CAR MANUFACTURERS HAD TO BUILD THEM THIS WAY NEED TO REPEAL THE LAW.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AWAY GOING UP A SLIGHT HILL ON THE HWY EXCELLING AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THE POWER SUDDENLY DROPPED AND WENT DOWN TO 20 MPH WHILE I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL EVEN MORE THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS REVVING BUT THE SPEED STAYED AT 20 MPH OR LESS.- THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSC & TRAC LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND DECIDED TO TURN AROUND AND NOT CONTINUE UP THE HILL. WHILE DRIVING ON THE STRAIGHT AWAY (STILL ON THE HWY) THE VEHICLE'S SPEED IMPROVED A LITTLE BUT ONLY IN SPURTS- GOING UPWARDS TO 40 MPH THEN FALLING AGAIN TO 20 MPH AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE 20 MINUTE DRIVE HOME. THE VEHICLE SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE IT WAS STRAINING FOR POWER. ALL OF THE FLUIDS, OILS ETC.. WAS FILLED AND IN GOOD STANDINGS- THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 4434 MILES ON IT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER THE VERY NEXT DAY AND THEY FOUND THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE CODES P2445 AND P2441 WAS FOUND FAULTY AND WAS REPLACED- IN THE REPORT IT WAS STATED THAT THE CAR IS DOWN, CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE MAY GO INTO LIMP MODE FOR THIS CONDITION WHILE DRIVING. I AM SUBMITTING A PORTION OF THE REPORT WITH MY PERSONAL INFORMATION COVERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL -- I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END AUTO COLLISION YESTERDAY, I WAS GOING ON SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 45MPH WHEN I STRUCK A CAR THAT HAD CUT ME OFF, MY CAR BECAME COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THE AIRBAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED WHICH MAKES ME FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE I HAD STRUCK WAS GOING ROUGHLY 10MPH. THE FRAMING OF MY CAR IS COMPLETELY BEND AND MOST OF THE FORCE WAS EXCRETED TOWARDS THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE MY 2015 TACOMA.

AS WE WERE DRIVING LAST NIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL FELL APART DURING A TURN, RENDERING IT INSTANTLY UNMOVABLE. WE GOT STUCK IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. WE COULD NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE TOO MANY CARS WERE WHIZZING BY US. WHEN WE DISLODGED THE BROKEN PIECE WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. WE PHYSICALLY HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TOGETHER SO THAT WE COULD DRIVE HOME. TOYOTA HAULED THE CAR OFF THIS MORNING. YOU'RE VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE, WE CAN TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY AND WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD DO THE SAME. AS SOON AS WE COULD MOVE THE VEHICLE TO A SAFER LOCATION, I BEGAN VIDEOING. I HAVE THAT AS WELL.

SITTING AT A DEAD COLD STOP. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES - BRAKES JUST RELEASED WITH ME STANDING ON THE PEDAL - ALLOWING ME TO ROLL INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY VEHICLE IMPACTED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT APPROXIMATELY 5MPH. I WAS LITERALLY SCREAMING AND STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL - ZERO EFFECT. I FELT NO LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE OR MECHANICAL FEEDBACK THROUGH THE PEDAL AT ANYTIME. IT'S AS IF THE CALIPERS ALL JUST RELEASED WITH ME ON THE PEDAL THE WHOLE TIME.

HAVE HAD TWO TIRES FAIL BY TEARS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TREAD. THESE FAILURES HAVE BEEN SUDDEN AND INSTANTLY FLAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. ALL OTHER TIERS ARE SHOWING CHECKING/CRACKING IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE FAILED ONES. BF GOODRICH HAS BEEN NO HELP SO FAR. WILL SOME ONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2015 TOYOTA TACOMA AND STRAIGHT OFF THE BACK I NOTICED THAT THE TIRED WERE NOT IN GOOD CONDITION UNDER SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES. IF THERE WERE SOME LOOSE DIRT OR GRAVEL ON THE ROAD THE TIRE WOULD NOT GRIP CAUSING ME TO SLIP FOR A SPLIT SECOND. IGNORING THE WARNING SIGNS OF MY SPLIT SECOND SLIPS HERE AND THERE I DECIDED TO GO OUT IN THE RAIN WITH 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON. I FELT CONFIDENT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD MANY TACOMA'S BEFORE AND I TRUST TOYOTA. LOW AND BEHOLD I HYDROPLANED ON AN EMPTY HIGHWAY AND CRASHED INTO THE WALL AT 60 MPH COMPLETELY TOTALING MY TRUCK. BAFFLED BY THE INCIDENT I RECOUNTED MY STEPS TO SEE IF I WAS AT FAULT. TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL, GPS ON MY PHONE, NO CAR IN SIGHT AND I'M THE ONLY ONE ON THE ROAD. A LITTLE PUDDLE ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE. I STILL LOVE TOYOTA AND I BOUGHT A 2016 TACOMA BUT I WILL SAY DO NOT TRUST THE 2015 STOCK TACOMA TIRES BECAUSE IT HAS NO GRIP.
