2016 TOYOTA TACOMA Complaints

INTERIOR LEAKING WHEN IT RAINS OR WHENEVER VEHICLE GETS WET. A HEALTH HAZARD, SAFETY CONCERN, AND POTENTIAL RISK TO PASSENGERS AS WELL. CAUSE OF PROBLEM IS DEFECTIVE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT SEAL. OF COURSE TOYOTA MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO EASILY REPLACE THE LIGHT OR SEAL AS YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE INTERIOR CEILING TO GET TO BOLTS. SAD I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND IT LEAKS WATER BUT SINCE WARRANTY JUST ENDED, THEY WILL NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT FIXING THIS ISSUE. IF A LAWSUIT RESULTS ABOUT OF THIS COUNT ME IN, HOPEFULLY A RECALL TAKES PLACE SOON BECAUSE DUCT TAPE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH PLUS WHO WANTS TO DRIVE AROUND WITH DUCT TAPE ON THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT.

THE REAR CARGO/3RD BRAKE LIGHT ON THE TOP OF THE CAB SEAL IS BROKEN AND WATER LEAKS IN TO THE REAR CAB AND SATIN IN THE HEADLINER. I HAVE LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM AND THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS. I CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AFTER GETTING MY TRUCK SERVICED FOR A RECALL ITEM AND THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP EVEN KNOWING THAT THERE IS A TSB 0055-18. *TR

AFTER A COMMUTE DRIVE I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE. AN HOUR LATER, WENT BACK IN THE GARAGE AND SMELLED A STRONG AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAK. AFTER VERIFICATION I FOUND THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES WERE LEAKING RIGHT ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. DROVE TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER AND HAD NEW LINES PUT IN. *TR

AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND REQUIRES MUCH MORE FORCE THAN USUAL TO PUT THE GEARBOX INTO NEUTRAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF LOGAN (297 E MAIN ST, LOGAN, OH 43138), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC RETRIEVED DTC CODES: C1380 AND C1422. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STOP LIGHT RELAY MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE DEALER WAS UNAWARE OF HOW TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUBFRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS DUE TO BE INSPECTED AND TREATED WITH AN ANTI-CORROSION INHIBITER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,495.

2016 TOYOTA TACOMA PURCHASED FROM STOKES BROWN TOYOTA NEW. THE SEATBELT AIRBAG LIGHT FOR PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT BLINKS CONTINUALLY EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND OFF. *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT SEAL DEFECTIVE. RAIN WATER ENTERS BACK OF CABIN AND STAINS INTERIOR ROOF FROM DEFECTIVE SEAL AROUND 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. *TR

OFF-ROADING, RESTARTED VEHICLE AFTER A STOP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS TRAC OFF ILLUMINATED. TRIED TO DRIVE FORWARD AND TRUCK STALLED AND MESSAGE SAID HIGH TRANSMISSION TEMP. GOGGLED ISSUE TO DISCOVER A RECALL FOR CRANK POSITION SENSOR FAILURE. LOOKED UP MY VIN AND I DON'T HAVE THAT RECALL ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE STATED YEAR AND MODEL. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON ROAD IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE STARTED LURCHING AND LOOSING POWER THEN ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, TURNED ON, AND IN MOTION, THE AMP FOR THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT HEATER PRETTY MUCH MELTED. I SMELT AN ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL, AND WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE SOURCE.
