Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My truck recently started having problems turning on. I noticed it only happens when the fuel tank is half-full or just below half. The truck finally starts after 4 or 5 attempts and runs fine for the most part. Sometimes when I am driving it kicks a little, like it loses a little bit of power but quickly regains it. When the tank is full it starts with no problems. I have been reading online that it is more than likely fuel related, specifically the fuel pump. …”
NHTSA complaint #10630045, filed 2014-09, 39,000 miles“The underside of my 2011 Toyota Tacoma is experiencing tremendous rust. Dealer said since there was not perforation, nothing to be done. Brackets holding wiring, body panels and now gas tank have rusted and failed. The gas tank strap is a major concern. It is available for inspection. The gas tank is held up now by one unrusted strap and rubber bungee cords I applied. Dealer or independence service center has not seen it. Nearest dealer is a ferry ride away, I live on an island. No inspection by manufacturer etc. No warning lights or messages.”
NHTSA complaint #11666324, filed 2025-06“Since purchase vehicle has had intermittent vibration at highway speeds evidenced by shaking of the truck bed, empty passenger seat and steering wheel. Attempts to resolve by: rebalancing, rotating and replacing tires, aligning front end, wheel truing, universal joint and drive shaft hanger bracket replacement, inspection of- rod ends, upper and lower control arms, steering box, unsuccesfull. Just found out about the attached tech bulletin from Toyota. Shouldn't this be a safety recall due to the potential for driveline failure? Toyota tech bulletin # t-sb-0008-14 it won't upload due to size.”
