2015 Toyota Tacoma UNKNOWN OR OTHER

TACOMA FRAME IS RUSTING AND SO ARE OTHER KEY COMPONENTS OF THE FRAME, SUPER WHITE PAINT IS ALSO CHIPPING IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS SUCH AS FRONT BUMPER AND DOOR FRAMES

I would like to express my concern about the paint on my 2015 Toyota Tacoma in Ribbon Blue, which has faded significantly on the roof and hood and is chipping extensively underneath the hood, around the windows, and underneath the doors. The extent of the fading and chipping is alarming, especially given that the vehicle is barely 10 years old and has been properly maintained. For a company renowned for quality and durability, this level of paint deterioration is unacceptable and seems like a manufacturing defect.

I have a 2015 Tacoma that has the super white (040) paint issues of flacking and peeling on around my windows, doors and engine bay as well has all painted metal surfaces seem to have lost its clear coat finish and now looks flat matte. These issues are described in both Toyota Customer Support Programs 23TE08 (2016-2022 Tacomas) and ZKG (Wide range of vehicles not including Tacomas); however, my truck is not included in either CSP. I would like to request that my vehicle year be included in the currently running Toyota Customer Programs for the Super White paint chip and pealing issues.

The vehicle's Super White Factory Applied paint (040) is peeling around the exterior window frame. Took it to local dealership and was advised to speak with Toyota Customer Service who advised that my year had not been included in the SRP 23TE08 with the same issues for years 2016-2022. They asked me to file complaint here so hoping that it can be added to get the repairs approved.

Paint is flaking off on the inside of all doors. Paint color is blue ribbon metallic.

I have had 5 cracked windshields in about 6 years. Never had any broken windshields in my previous 45 years of driving. I was told one replacement was a factory OEM. Generic for others mostly from Safelight here in Orlando Florida. These replacements have jacked up my insurance premiums. What is going on?

Rust protection has never been done. I just purchased this truck in August 2023 from dealer (new and used) and learn about this deadly serious frame rot. I was at Faulkern Toyota Wednesday morning 9:30am appointment just to be told "the previous owner did not bring it back for the rust protection ". Tell me time has expired. This is a life or death issue. The frame rots, you loose control while driving. Faulkern Toyota admitted the work was never done because the previous owner never returned. Maybe he was sick on his death bed with covid-19. Faulkern Toyota refused to do anything and sent me away. .

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT WORK. I WAS ALMOST AT A STOP WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRUCK ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I HIT THE BUILDING IN FRONT OF ME AND MY TRUCK WAS TOTALED LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED . MOST PEOPLE SAY WELL YOU MUST HAVE HIT THE ACCELERATOR MY MISTAKE THAT IS NOT THE CASE MY FOOT WAS ALREADY APPLYING THE BRAKE TO STOP A

MY PROBLEM IS ON-GOING REGARDING BLIND-SPOTS/POOR VISIBILITY DUE TO OVERSIZED SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY TOYOTA DEALER PARTS DEPT, THE SALEMAN, THE HEAD OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, TOYOTA MANUFACTURING'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT; NON OF THEM ARE ABLE TO HELP ME. THEY REFERRED ME TO YOU. THE OVER-SIZED SIDE MIRRORS & HOUSING CAUSE VERY SERIOUS BLIND SPOTS LOOKING TO EITHER THE DRIVER'S SIDE OR PASSENGER SIDE, BLOCKING VISIBILITY OVER THE FRONT FENDERS WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. I HAVE BECOME VERY PROACTIVE IF I AM ENTERING INTO AN INTERSECTION TO BE AWARE IF THERE IS A VEHICLE OR PERSON IN THE INTERSECTION BEFORE I GET THERE. OTHERWISE I DO NOT SEE THEM IF THEY ARE ALREADYIN THE BLIND SPOT NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE ALMOST HIT SOMEONE, CHILDREN, OR A CAR WHEN TURNING BECAUSE OF THIS. ONLY LUCK AND THE OTHER PERSON'S AWARENESS THAT I DID NOT HIT THEM. UNFORTUNATELY, NO MATTER HOW PROACTIVELY AWARE I AM OF MY SURROUNDINGS, IF A VEHICLE OR PERSON HAS ALREADY ENTERED INTO THE BLIND SPOT OR DEAD ZONE IT DOES NOT MATTER I WILL NOT SEE THEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN JUST RECENTLY. TOYOTA SAYS THEY HAVE NO OPTIONS FOR REPLACING THE MIRRORS WITH A SMALLER VERSION. I HAVE PUT A CUSHION ON MY SEAT TO RAISE ME, BUT THAT IS OF LITTLE HELP. I NEED A SMALLER PROFILED MIRROR. TOO ME THE NEED FOR SUCH AN OVER SIZED MIRROR AND HOUSING IS UNNECESSARY FOR EVERYDAY DRIVING. IT IS A LIABILITY. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE GET RID OF THE TRUCK, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO HURT SOMEONE. I AM VERY CONCERNED. I HAVE SEEN INTERNET POSTINGS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE SALESMAN SAID HE IS AWARE OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE FOR SOME PEOPLE WITH THE PRIUS. PLEASE GIVE A CALL WITH SUGGESTIONS AND HELP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JACKIE

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION.

TOYOTA'S EMISSION PART FAILURE AT 7,800 MILES. TRUCK THREW A CODE P2440 AND P2442 WHICH AFFECTS THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THE PUMP AND OR VALVES ARE PRONE TO FAILURE UNDER 60K MILES. TOYOTA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS BEEN PRONE TO FAILURE IN THEIR TUNDRA MODELS PRIOR TO PUTTING THEM IN 2012+ TACOMA MODELS. PARTS ARE AROUND $800-$1,000 AND DEALER QUOTES ARE AROUND $1,800-$2K TO FIX. THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND LUCKILY WAS UNDER THE 3YEAR/36K WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH I HEARD A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND WHICH STARTLED ME CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. A CROSS WIND ALONG WITH BAD DOOR SEALS CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. THE INTERNET DOCUMENTS THIS PROBLEM WELL IF YOU SEARCH 2015 TACOMA WIND NOISE. PLEASE SEE THIS VIDEO HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GBT7DASTHPM THE SOUND IS VERY LOUD.

DOORS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN TRUCK BEGINS TO MOVE. SMALL CHILDREN ARE TRANSPORTED IN THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, MY HUSBAND HEARD A "POPPING" SOUND, LOOKED IN THE BACKSEAT, AND SAW THAT THE RIGHT, REAR JUMPSEAT, WHICH HAD BEEN IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION, WAS "SEAT-DOWN, HEADREST UP" AND THE RIGHT REAR PANE OF GLASS IN THE REAR WINDSHIELD HAD SHATTERED. THE RESPONSE OF REINHARDT TOYOTA WAS, "YOUR WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER GLASS, BUT WE'LL REPAIR IT FOR $1,100."
