“A lot of us Tacoma owners are having trouble with our blue tooth dropping out during phone calls. I live in massachusetts and they frown us from holding your cell phone to talk to someone. I purchased a 2019 and it has 900 miles and did not ever think this would be a problem with a brand new truck. To this day, it's still a problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11281462, filed 2019-11, 200 miles“Due to the fact that we never test drove the 2019 Toyota Tacoma that we were given to purchase, and my husband drove the vehicle home I did not have the chance to try the vehicle until we arrived home. The first time that I sat in the vehicle, I felt extreme discomfort and electric shocks from the vehicle, very similar to the electric shocks that I received from the 2017 Toyota prius. …”
NHTSA complaint #11319902, filed 2020-04, 17,000 miles“On entering an intersection the vehicle applied brakes automatically and without warning. At that time the path forward of the vehicle was clear. This action caused a safety hazard by stalling the vehicle in the intersection. Applying gas resulted in no forward movement. Oncoming traffic had to stop abruptly to avoid a collision with my vehicle. I have been to the Toyota dealership two times to have this repaired to no avail. The last communication from Toyota concerning my complaint was a phone call from a factory rep advising me that I needed to read my owners manual regarding this issue. …”

NHTSA complaint #11240154, filed 2019-07, 4,000 miles“Bluetooth randomly disconnects during a phone call. Happened about 5 times on my way to work. Used another phone and did same thing. Dealership said they need more complaints before a recall is issued.”
