2016 Toyota Tacoma UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The seat heater pins have melted, leaving black residue. thus showing possibilities of a fire

Paint is chipping off in several places and have read this is a major problem with tacomas in the white color

I have recently been made aware of the Super White paint recall and know that is not yet in full force or able to be serviced at this time. That being said, it appears that the recall only covers " paint peeling along the exterior door window frames and front inner fenders under the hood on certain Tacoma vehicles with 040 Super White paint color", But there are multiple reports of this entire paint job being defective over multiple generations as well as paint outside of these areas specified. This recall should cover an entire repaint and is extremely frail in quality otherwise.

I purchased this vehicle in May 2016. The vehicel has the "Super White" paint package. In late May 2019 I noticed the paint was starting to peel off the door frame, above the headlights and above the windshield. I contacted the Toyota Dealership where I purchased the vehicle, Desert Toyota of Tucson) and they told me there was a recall on the paint and that I would be receiving a letter from Toyota USA about this. A year went by and I contacted Toyota USA, and was told there was no recall on my vehicle due to paint peeling. I again contacted Toyota USA in 2021 (Incident # 210719-000344) regarding the peeling paint which was getting worse and was again told no recall due to peeling paint. I have spoken with the dealership several times about this and I keep getting told that I will be receiving a letter from Toyota USA, but there is a backlog. I called Toyota USA again this morning 8/13/2024 and was told no recall on my peeling paint, yet my dealer insists there is one. Toyota USA told me to conatct the NHTSA about this, so I have.

On 10/30/2023 Toyota stopped supporting Scout GPS Link. This is the Toyota installed navagation system and the only navagation system that works with the Toyota display/audio system. All other navagation systems are blocked from the Toyota system. Navagation is now reduced to using a Cell Phone display and audio. Well this option works it is much less safe as the display is much lower beneath the driver's normal line of sight. Eyes must be taken off the road for a much longer period and looking at a much smaller display. While not as big a safety risk as other vehicle problems this may provide NHTSA with the opportunity to track the safety impact of vehcile navigation systems vs hand held nagivation systems.

White paint is peeling off in multiple places on the body of the vehicle. There is a change.org petition with 5,000+ signatures, yet Toyota has refused to do anything about the issue. https://www.change.org/p/toyota-motor-company-hold-toyota-accountable-for-2008-2022-tacoma-super-white-peeling-paint

Toyota has a recall for all of the White vehicles EXCEPT for the tacoma. The tacoma has the same issues with paint flaking off in sheets yet they will not cover the repairs or extend the recall to include the truck. There are thousands of us that have signed a change.org petition and complained to toyota but haven't received any support. My paint started flaking when it was just past the 36 month warranty. currently this flaking is on 9 of my body panels.

This tailgates passenger side rear hinge and bushing. Failed to hold integrity. My 4-year-old attempted to help me and load my truck up with some camping gear. He pulled the handle like he has before to drop the tailgate. The tailgate has a soft dampener built into it. This time the tailgate came of. I'm glad I was within arm's distance of him. I was able to grab the tailgate before it hit or perhaps could have crushed him. This could have Caused severe bodily injury or death. They were absolutely no warning signs before the situation happened. Upon further investigation you can find the right passenger bushing in multiple different pieces. Not sure what caused the failure in this part. But if I wasn't close by it could have seriously injured my child. And I suppose if the tailgate wasn't properly latched driving down the highway the tailgate could have come off also causing a large accident.

MY TRUCK IS LEAKING AT THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT INTO MY BACK SEAT.

AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT WORKING WELL. TAKE TOO LONG TO GETS COLD AND IT'S SOUNDS LIKE A LEAKING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURN OFF. I TOOK IT TO REPAIR AND THE EVAPORATOR IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE TO BUY THE OEM ITEM: EVAPORATOR AND SENSOR ASM; PART NO: 88511-04020.

DURING HEAVY RAINFALL, BACK DRIVER SIDE GETS WET. I NOTICED THIS BACK IN MARCH AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ASKED ME TO CALL BACK IN A WEEK BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSING DUE TO COVID. I'VE HAD MEDICAL ISSUES SINCE THEN AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT THEM. BUT I'LL TRY TO TOMORROW. NOW THE WATER FROM THE RAINS ARE GETTING TO THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THE TWO SEATS. SMELLS BAD. I FEEL THAT THE SEAT FOAMS ARE BAD. AND IT'S GROWING MILDEW ON THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE (ON THE CARPET) UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE BACK SEAT. THE TOP OF THE INSIDE OF THE ROOF ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS ONLY SHOWING WATER THAT HIGH. THE SEAM ON TOP OF THE TRUCK SEEMS SECURE SO I FEEL LIKE IT'S COMING THROUGH THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT (THE ONE THAT IS ABOVE THE WINDOW). I KNOW IT'S GETTING WET WHEN THE TRUCK IS STILL. PRETTY SURE IT IS, AS WELL, WHEN THE TRUCK IS MOVING. ALSO, I MENTIONED THAT I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE BACK IN MARCH. BUT THE PICS THAT I SUBMITTED ARE FROM THE RAIN THAT WE JUST GOT TODAY.

MY WARNING LIGHTS ON MY SIDE MIRRORS THAT TELL ME THERE IS A VEHICLE ON MY LEFT R RIGHT AND WARNING LIGHTS AND ALARM THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO SOUND WHEN SOMETHING IS BEHIND ME WORKS INCONSISTANTLY SOMETIMES THEY WORK AND A MAJORITY OF TIME THEY DO NOT WORK CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES I AM RIDING IN CAR OR BACKING UP

BUEN DIA HACE UNOS MESES CUANDO DESCUBRI QUE MI CARRO TENIA UN RECALL DEL ABANICO DEL BLOWER DEL AIRE ACONDICIONADO HABLE A TOYOTA DE MI LOCALIDAD Y AGENDE UNA CITA, CUANDO ME RECIBIERON EL CARRO Y EMPEZARON A INGRESAR LA INFORMACION, ME DIJERON QUE NO PODIAN REPARAR ESE RECALL DEBIDO A QUE MI CARRO ERA SALVAGE, POR LO QUE NO HICIERON LA REPARACION. MI PREGUNTA ES PORQUE OTRAS AGENCIAS SI HACEN LAS REPARACIONES AUN SI EL CARRO ES SALVAGE, TUVE HACE UNOS AOS UN PROBLEMA SIMILAR CON UN CARRO NISSAN Y ELLOS SI ME LO REPARARON SIN IMPORTAR QUE FUERA SALVAGE EL TITULO DEL CARRO.

WE LIVE IN A BORDER TOWN WITH MEXICO AND GOING AND COMING BACK SOMETIMES THERE ARE LONG LINES AT THE BRIDGES SO IN ONE OF THOSE TIMES TEMPERATURE STARTED TO GO UP IN THE TRUCK IT WAS OVERHEATING

MY VEHICLE IS JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD WITH ABOUT 34000 MILES. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE VEHICLES PRIOR TO MY TACOMA AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO CHANGE THE EVAPORATOR CORE. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT A LOT OF TACOMAS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THAT FROM 2016 AND UP THE TACOMAS STARTED USING THE NEW FREE ON, TYPE 1234YF, WHICH I BELIEVE IS FLAMMABLE, UNLIKE R134. TOYOTA SHOULD REALLY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED ABOUT A SAFETY RECAL UNTIL I CAME TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME.

THE BLOWER MOTOR ON MY TRUCK FITS THE ISSUED RECALL. HOWEVER ITS ONLY ELIDGABLE FOR CERTAIN VINS AND MINE IS NOT COVERED. HOW CAN I GET COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. THE WINDOW IS JUNE 2016 TO 2017. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN MARCH OF 2016. THE BLOWER MOTOR HAS BEEN LOUD SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND DIED A MONTH AGO. I SAW THIS RECALL RELEASE AND DO NOT KNOW WHY MY TRUCK ISN'T COVERED. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN JUNE 2018, USED WITH 32000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN A THUNDERSTORM ON 7/25/18, AND THE KIDS IN THE BACKSEAT SAID THEY WERE GETTING WET, AND THAT THE WATER WAS COMING THROUGH THE HEADLINER. LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE WHEN I GOT BACK HOME AND IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE OF THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT ON THE CAB LEAKING THROUGH THE SEAL. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID THE REPLACEMENT SEAL WAS ON BACKORDER 2-3 MONTHS, AND THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS ALL OVER THE US WITH THIS PROBLEM, WHICH WAS APPARENTLY REENGINEERED IN THE 2017 MODEL. I MADE A CALL TO TOYOTA CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND A SEAL MIRACULOUSLY APPEARED AFTER 3 WEEKS. AFTER THE SEAL WAS REPLACED THE DEALER SAID THAT, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THEY FOUND MOLD, AND IT WAS THE WORST THEY HAD EVER SEEN. THEY TOOK EVERYTHING OUT OF THE CAB AND THEY HAVE TO SCRAPE ALL OF THE SOUND DEADENING MATERIAL OFF THE FLOORBOARD WHERE THE MOLD HAS CONCENTRATED. THEY WILL THEN HAVE TO HAVE AN OUTSIDE COMPANY COME IN AND TREAT THE VEHICLE FOR THE MOLD ISSUE. THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO ORDER REPLACEMENT PARTS AFFECTED. I WAS ADVISED THIS MORNING IT WILL BE ANOTHER 2-3 WEEKS BEFORE THE REPAIRS ARE COMPLETE. THANK GOD I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH A CERTIFIED WARRANTY. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN SCREWED. WITH THE MOLD ANYONE WHO RODE IN MY CAR COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME SICK. I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE A NEW MODEL INSTEAD TO AVOID MY KIDS GETTING SICK, BUT THE DEALER SAID IT WOULDN'T QUALIFY ON THE ARKANSAS LEMON LAW. WHY THE HELL HASN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER???

ON 6/26/2017 THE BAXTER TOYOTA LINCOLN HAS DIAGNOSED REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAK ON MY TOYOTA TACOMA 2016(SAFETY RECALL) UNTIL NOW 9/11/2017 , THEY HAVE NOT FIXED PROBLEM, NOBODY OFFERS ME ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION(THE NOTE FROM SAFETY RECALL SAID TOYOTA WILL PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION IF THEY FOUND A LEAK ON CUSTOMER VEHICLE).TOYOTA DID NOT CARE ABOUT SAFETY,OR TAKE CARE THERE FAIL PRODUCT.I HAVE INSPECTION FORM FROM TOYOTA SHOWING LEAK HAS FOUND ON MY VEHICLE

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING MY 2016 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS NO. 17V-356. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH SINCE I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HERE IN DECATUR IL. (CROWN TOYOTA) AND THE TOYOTA CORPORATION WITH A COMPLAINT THAT THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE ISSUE. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE?

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2012 GMC PICK UP WITH LARGE CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

MY 2016 TACOMA SAFETY RECALL FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAK. I DROP MY TACOMA OFF @ RON TONKIN DEALER ON JUNE 16TH, 2017 AND IT OVER A MONTH I HAD NOT HEAR ANY UPDATE FROM THE DEALER WHEN MY TRUCK WILL BE FIXED. CONTACTED THE DEALER ON 7/22/17, THEY SAID PART STILL NOT AVAILABLE; HOWEVER, THE RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA SAID IT ONLY TAKE FEW HOURS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. PLEASE HELP.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL RECALL. TOOK IT IN A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. WAS TOLD IT WAS LEAKING REALLY BAD. THEY TEMPORARILY "FIXED" IT AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE A WEEK FOR PARTS TO ARRIVE. MONTH AND A HALF LATER AND NOTHING. I KEEP CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA HQ SINCE THEY CAN'T EVEN NOTIFY ME OF WHAT'S GOING ON. SO I'VE BEEN RUNNING ON A REALLY BAD LEAK FOR A MONTH AND A HALF.

TOYOTA SERVCO MAPUNPUNA SAID THEY WILL BE KEEPING MY TRUCK FOR UP TO, IF NOT MORE, THEN 2 MONTHS. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I NEED MY TRUCK AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE IT BEING IN THE SALT WATER ELEMENTS, WITHOUT COVERING FOR UP TO 2 MONTHS OR MORE. I WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER IF YOU/COMPANY PROVIDED A TRUCK COVER TO GO OVER MY TRUCK BECAUSE I PAID EXTRA MONEY, THROUGH TOYOTA, TO HAVE A SPECIAL COATING ON THE TRUCK TO PROTECT IT FROM THE ELEMENTS. I WASH THE TRUCK EVERY 1 1/2 TO 2 WEEKS SO THAT ELEMENTS DO NOT RUIN THE COATING ON MY TRUCK. SO UP TO 2 MONTHS OR MORE TO FIX A SLIGHT LEAK IS RIDICULOUS BEYOND BELIEF.

RECALL #17V-285 AFTER FINDING THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL ON LINE I TOOK MY TRUCK TO SPARKS TOYOTA TO HAVE IT CHECKED THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL GASKET WAS LEAKING AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED THEY HAVE HAD MY TRUCK FOR OVER SIXTY DAYS AND CANNOT TELL ME WHEN IT WILL BE REPAIRED OTHER THAN MID JUNE WHICH HAS PASSED AND THEN EARLY JULY. I CALLED TOYOTA USA AND THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE DEALER WOULD CALL ME. THE DEALER NEVER CALLED AND MY TRUCK IS STILL THERE.
