NHTSA complaint #11246173, filed 2019-08, 1 miles“The wiper blade cowl over time has come away from window and allows water the go into cabin air filter and leak through to the inside of truck. From what I am looking up online many other people has had same issue with same year and all the way back to the early 2000. I fell as this could leak to failure of the blower motor or wires under dash on the passenger side. This has happened when it rains or washing vehicle.”

The response of reinhardt Toyota was, your warranty doesn't cover glass, but we'll repair it for $1,100.”
NHTSA complaint #10706732, filed 2015-04, 300 miles“As we were driving last night, the steering wheel fell apart during a turn, rendering it instantly unmovable. We got stuck in the oncoming traffic lane. We could not exit the vehicle because too many cars were whizzing by us. When we dislodged the broken piece we pulled over to the side. We physically hold the steering wheel together so that we could drive home. Toyota hauled the car off this morning. You're very lucky to be alive, we can take this very seriously and would hope that you would do the same. As soon as we could move the vehicle to a safer location, I began videoing. …”
NHTSA complaint #10811464, filed 2015-12, 5,000 miles“Secondary air injection system malfunctioned at under 8k miles on a 2015 brand new truck. Did some research and this part seems to fail pretty early and just outside the 3year/36mos coverage and be quite costly to fix or replace. Toyota currently is not doing anything about it on tacomas like they did with the tundras but they are aware that this part is prone to failure.”
