2015 Toyota Tacoma Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“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 side view mirrors are too big and obstruct the view when turning right or left. The driver's side view mirror is worse and when turning left you can't see if there is a pedestrian in the crosswalk. It seems to be a problem for short drivers mostly and most women are much shorter than men. I have gone to the dealer and they do not have a solution. This seems to have been a problem on a number of toyotas for many years. I suspect I will have to go to a junk yard and find something that is smaller. …”

Discovered on 3-12-19, several days later after purchase.”

“At night, the top 1/3rd of the windshield causes double vision of lights. This occurs for all headlights, taillights, signal lights, and streetlights. This doesn't occur lower in the windshield, but it's unavoidable for taller drivers (I'm over 6' tall). This does occur the entire width of the windshield. It doesn't occur with any of the side windows. It also did not occur in a previous 2013 Tacoma that I owned. I've verified this with the dealership (kearny mesa Toyota, san diego ca). They were able to reproduce the issue in my brand new vehicle. …”
