Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle failed va inspection due to the horn not working. I have to get the spiral cable replaced per the auto repair shop. This was a recall on Tacoma's up to 2009 (recall b1801) but not my year. My year should be part of the recall. I believe this also impacts the airbag deployment from the steering wheel.”
NHTSA complaint #11415222, filed 2021-05, 104,000 miles“The horn in my 2011 Toyota Tacoma quit working. I went to use it my horn, and it did not work. I've taken my truck to several places to see if it could be fixed. I have been reading where this is a common problem for many Toyota owners. Also, the white paint on my car is starting to flake off. The truck isn't even 10 years old and has been maintained. Yet again, there are thousands of consumers affected by this. Apparently there are two types of white paint that Toyota knows to be an issue on certain year models, but they have not issued a recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #11301343, filed 2020-01, 85,000 miles“Toyota has a recall on 2005 to 2011 Tacoma's for rear leaf springs rusting out and breaking. When I checked with them they said my VIN number was not part of the recall. How can that be. I have a 2011 Tacoma and my rear leaf springs are rusted and now have broken. Only 51000 miles on the truck. What does my VIN number have to do with what the actual problem is. They have stated that these vehicles have a problem with rust and breakage of rear leaf springs that could cause the broken piece of spring hitting the gas tank. I feel because my truck is in the date specified it should be covered. …”
NHTSA complaint #10723500, filed 2015-06, 51,000 miles“When the vehicle is turned on in cold temperatures the radio turns off and shows a error message every now and then. This is the second time the vehicle does it, it was taken to the dealer a couple of years ago for the same reason, the problem was fixed then but it is doing it again.”
NHTSA complaint #10934047, filed 2016-12, 32,000 miles“The horn on my truck no longer works. Cruise control is intermittent at times. Vehicle was taken to my independent repair shop I've been told it is the clock spring in my steering wheel. My concern is the air bag would quit working. Been told same vehicle from 2012 and newer was fixed by Toyota for same problem.”
