“Vehicle stationary in driveway. Tires are the same specs as original tires. When tires are inflated to recommended pressure (door placard) the low tire pressure warning light comes on. I consulted with 3 different Toyota dealers regarding this problem. No one was able to give me an answer. Meanwhile, over inflation is required to keep warning system off. What is the correct tire pressure??? Over / under inflation is a safety risk. An inaccurate warning system is also a safety risk.”
NHTSA complaint #11099270, filed 2018-06, 168,000 miles“We have been having trouble with my 2008 Toyota Tacoma truck with the engine revving when we first start it up. We took it to the dealer.

While driving at approximately 65 mph on the highway last week, my spare tire detached from the vehicle (unknown at that time). The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light activated, and I later discovered the spare had broken free and fallen off. This was unknown until a week later when the dealership said the TPMS went off due to a missing spare tire. The failure was caused by severe corrosion of the spare tire carrier/hoist assembly, which gave way without warning. …”
