What owners report
Owners of this model year most often describe paint peeling or flaking, especially on Super White (040) paint, and airbags that did not deploy in collisions, according to complaints. Brake pedal feel, transmission shifting and engine stalling or hesitation are the next most common themes, and dealers sometimes could not duplicate the problem. Where mileage is given, the airbag and engine complaints mostly fall around 24,000 to 26,000 miles, while brake complaints include some from very early ownership.
- Body and structure
Paint peels or flakes, often on Super White paint
- 8 complaints (14%)
- typically at 3.8 yrs old
- filed 2025–2026
Owners describe paint peeling or flaking around the door window frames, at the inner fenders under the hood, on the doors, and sometimes in the engine compartment, and in some cases bare metal is exposed. Several complaints mention white vehicles with the Super White (040) paint code. According to complaints, Toyota said some VINs were not covered by the customer support program for this paint, while the dealer described the problem as a known condition in some cases. Mileage is given in only a few of these complaints, including a report of about 45,500 miles, and some owners describe vehicles under three years old.
What to check: Ask whether the vehicle's VIN and paint code are covered by the paint customer support program in the related bulletins, and check the door frames, inner fenders and engine compartment for peeling or bare metal. A visual paint inspection during a pre-purchase check can show whether the condition is present.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“The 2016-2022 White double cab Toyota Tacomas have a known paint flaking/peeling issue. On 2/1/2026 while drying my truck after its wash, on the driver’s rear door by the window rubber trim my paint was flaking off. On 2/2/26 I spoke with an agent at Toyota Corporation (but she was on the Lexus side) about my issue and was told my VIN was not part of the Customer Support Program 23TE08 and she didn’t know of Tacomas paint failure. …”
NHTSA complaint #11715416, filed 2026-02“2022 Tacoma paint peeling on all doors. Manufactured 1 months after current paint recall 23TE08 for 2016-2022 Tacomas. Quoted $7,000 for new paint job by Maita Toyota in Sacramento Ca and Toyota Corp only offered me $2500, which I declined. This is stupid!”
NHTSA complaint #11766782, filed 2026-09 - Air bags
Airbags did not deploy during collisions
- 9 complaints (15%)
- median 24,000 mi at 2.8 yrs old (3 state mileage, few)
- 9 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2022–2025
Owners describe collisions in which the airbags did not deploy, including frontal impacts, side impacts from a vehicle running a red light, and rear-end collisions at highway speed. Some complaints say an airbag warning light or a seat belt or airbag malfunction message appeared on the dashboard, and some describe injuries that followed. According to complaints, the dealer or manufacturer was contacted in some cases, and some vehicles were towed to a dealer or collision center. Where mileage is given, these complaints are reported at about 24,000 miles, and many complaints do not state mileage.
What to check: Ask whether the airbag system has been inspected and whether any airbag or seat belt warning appears on the dashboard. Ask for the crash and repair history, since complaints describe airbag warnings after collisions.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“I was driving on the highway and a semi truck hit my car from behind, pushed my car and I hit the car in front of me. I was doing around 55 mph when thee truck hit me.The airbags did not deploy. but the airbag light was lit up on the cluster. Later I received a message through the toyota app about a malfunction on my car's airbag system, that I have to contact the dealership to get it fix.”
NHTSA complaint #11563966, filed 2024-01“I hit an elk on the road. The elk came in direct impact with the front of my truck. No air bags deployed despite the force of the significant frontal impact. There had been no warnings or messages leading up to this that the airbags were not functional, nor was I notified that these airbags were part of any recall. To my knowledge, they are not. The vehicle is currently at a collision center for estimate preparation for the insurance company.”
NHTSA complaint #11588558, filed 2024-05 - Brakes
Brake pedal feels soft, mushy or vibrating
- 5 complaints (8%)
- median 10 mi at 1.0 yrs old (1 states mileage, few)
- filed 2022–2024
Owners describe the brake pedal going close to the floor when stopped or at startup, feeling soft or mushy, and having a long stopping distance. Some complaints say the brakes locked or pulled to one side during hard braking, and a complaint describes vibration in the seats and pedal. According to complaints, the dealer replaced a master cylinder or brake booster in some cases, some dealers said the feel was normal, and some owners say the problem returned after repair. Mileage is given in only a few of these complaints, ranging from about 10 miles to about 3,900 miles, so reports here come from early ownership.
What to check: Ask whether the brake master cylinder and booster have been inspected or replaced and whether the dealer checked for a leak. On a test drive, press the brake pedal firmly at a stop and confirm that it does not sink toward the floor.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“When starting especially in the morning my brake pedal is very mushy and goes very near the floor. When driving and have to break it sometimes goes down a little too far. The dealer said this was normal. I do not feel it is safe. I've never had a vehicle do this. If this is safe I don't want it.”
NHTSA complaint #11473257, filed 2022-07“Truck has 3900 miles on it. From day 1, the brakes almost go down to the floor when sitting at a stop. If you press the brakes normally during driving, they seem to be okay, but if you sit at a stop, you can practically push the pedal to the floor. The only time I have ever experienced this is when you have a leak in the system or one of the brake components, such as the master cylinder, has failed. I spoke to one Toyota dealer and they said that there is a seal in the master cylinder that goes bad. …”
NHTSA complaint #11491005, filed 2022-10 - Transmission and drivetrain
Transmission shudders, hunts gears or pops out of gear
- 9 complaints (15%)
- median 32,500 mi at 3.1 yrs old (2 state mileage, few)
- 3 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2022–2025
Owners describe the transmission shuddering under load or from a stop, hunting between gears, and in some cases popping out of second gear when cold. Some complaints describe clanking or metallic noises, burnt or black fluid, and a hard-to-move gear selector. According to complaints, the dealer or Toyota could not duplicate the problem in some cases, and some owners say a fluid change helped without fixing it. Mileage is given in only some of these complaints, ranging from about 500 miles to about 41,000 miles, with some describing onset around 5,000 miles.
What to check: Ask whether the transmission fluid has been checked or changed and whether the dealer has a record of shift or shudder complaints. On a test drive from a stop, and when the engine is cold, check for shuddering, hesitation or noise during shifts.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“Transmission pops out of 2nd gear everyday after setting on level ground. I have questioned Toyota about the fluid levels, which they say its a sealed unit and cant be checked. It takes about 20 feet before the transmission rengages. It only happens when the transmission temperature is cold, then does not happen again. This can leave me without any power. Toyota has checked the vehicle twice and cannot duplicate the issue. The issue started shortly after i bought the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11519552, filed 2023-04“Transmission is failing, fluid was black and burnt at 35k miles (dealer did not provide a large enough sample to allow for testing the fluid because I didn't specify the amount I needed), and vehicle is not throwing a CEL or MIL so therefore Toyota says that there is no defect. Fluid change did improve the functioning, but it did not correct the problem. Transmission failures are a known problem on numerous Toyota vehicles using an A series transmission. My vehicle has done this and progressively worsened since it had roughly 500 miles on it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11658181, filed 2025-05 - Engine
Engine stalls, hesitates or loses power
- 7 complaints (12%)
- median 26,000 mi at 3.5 yrs old (1 states mileage, few)
- filed 2022–2026
Owners describe the engine misfiring, hesitating, or not responding when the accelerator is pressed, and in some cases stalling at a stop or while driving. Some complaints describe long cranking, a dead spot when pulling away from a stop, or the dashboard lights going dark during the event. Some complaints say no warning lights came on beforehand, and an owner suspects a low pressure fuel pump. Mileage is given in only a few of these complaints, from about 1,200 miles to about 26,000 miles.
What to check: Ask whether the dealer has checked fuel pressure and stored engine codes, and whether any fuel pump or engine repairs have been made. On a test drive, check for hesitation or stalling when pulling away from a stop and at highway speed.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“My 2022 Tacoma has 1200 miles on it. While turning a corner I slowed down to make the turn when I pushed on the pedal to speed back up there was no response from the engine. It was dark outside and my dash lit up like the key was turned off. I kind of panicked and began pumping the pedal thinking I was out of gas. The fuel gage showed 3/4 an after 3 or 4 seconds it started back up. A week or so before I was at a red light when it turned green I tried to accelerate, the engine hesitated again like it was out of gas. …”

NHTSA complaint #11475410, filed 2022-07Body and structure: “I have a 2022 white Toyota Tacoma trd4x4. The paint is chipping in the inside fender on the left side. I did some research and looks like there was a recall for this very issue and that Toyota was reimbursing for the repairs. I called Toyota today and they said that I’m vin doesn’t fall in that recall. A vehicle that is less that 3 years old new shouldn’t have the paint chipping. I don’t drive the vehicle much and don’t use it in extreme conditions. They refused to help and stated I’m out of warranty. …”

This page is not legal, safety or repair advice: for a specific vehicle, check its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls and ask a qualified mechanic. See an error? Tell us.
