“Our truck was not on and the keys were not in the ignition or even in the truck. My husband was hooking up the boat trailer and our two year old son put the truck into nutral. My husband said the truck rolled a little. We dont feel as though you should be able to get the truck into another gear from park unless you have your foot on the brake and the truck is on. This could have been really bad scenario if we would have been parked on a hill or incline. We just dont want someone to get hurt.”

“While driving from east to west and crossing the gorge at george, washington wind was blowing really hard. Then I heard wind noise coming into the vehicle. I stopped at the next rest area and checked the vehicle out and found that the windshield seal had lifted and was causing wind noise and flexing of the windshield. This could have been catastrophic had the windshield blown completely out. This is unsatisfactory for a brand new vehicle.”

“Bought the truck from a private seller. Found out about the Toyota frame recall from a 3rd party. Brought my Tacoma in for the recall in 2013 but Toyota did not want to check it because I was a couple months pass their dead line. Never got a recall letter. In 2014 I had the truck frame check and undercoated by a small business in the area because I like the truck and wanted it to last. Fall of 2017 went to get the truck inspected and inspection station told me my frame was getting bad. When I got home I wanted check it out for myself to fine out if my frame was really going bad. …”

“Rear leaf suspension on Tacoma trg 4 door causing excessive hi-way bounce. In winter conditions the rear end would bounce and reposition the rear end causing swaying of vehicle on turns. The internal cab and box vibration may be the catalyst for the frame failures identified in prior recalls? Combined with the drive shaft vibration issues at high speed hi-way travel the rear tires of the vehicle are constantly developing flat spots and require excessive balancing to avoid added rear end vibration. My vehicle has 55,000km (about 30,000 miles) on it and I am on second set of tires as a result.”

NHTSA complaint #10864978, filed 2016-05, 30,000 miles

“We were driving home after the purchase of the truck. There was severe vibration inside the cab and it felt like the driveshaft was going to fall out. We have had back to the dealer numerous times for this issue and have been told it is a characteristic of the vehicle by the dealer and 2 other representatives from Toyota. The dealer has changed different components on the suspension and motor mounts, no change. Tires have been balanced, re-balanced and replaced no change. The drive shaft was trued and balanced, no change. The driveshaft was replaced, no change. …”
