“I was driving down the freeway and the motor suddenly stopped working, had to wait for hours in the 100 degree heat for a tow truck. I was informed by Toyota that a fuel injector failed and that it was leaking fuel into the cylinder.”Owner report · Engine · Jul 2026
“On 7/6/2024 after already having driven my truck to the store I noticed that the rear cab power sliding window exploded outward. Most of the glass was on the tonneau cover but some was inside. While cleaning it I noticed some has fallen into the seat belt assembly for the rear passenger seat. The temperature was 81f and there was absolutely no possible way that this was vandalism or a projectile hitting the glass. Toyota won't cover it or take responsibility. Fine, my concern is the glass that fell into the seatbelt assembly and how that might affect the safety of the belt.”Owner report · Seat Belts,Unknown Or Other · Jul 2026

Our screen is blacking out and our Bluetooth does not work after the Toyota dealership allegedly fixed the recall.”Owner report · Electrical System · Jun 2026

“After having Toyota Tacoma rear brake hose recall performed at Steven Toyota Harrisonburg Va I have very poor braking! This is a huge safety concern for my family and myself. Toyota is not taking this matter seriously. I was told “bring it in and let the tech have another wack at it”. No get a master tech on this problem immediately! I had reservations about having this recall performed by Toyota because in Toyotas pursuit to fix a problem they always make it worse. This has been our family’s experience over the course of many years. I have reported this issues to Toyota corporate and they are oblivious to our families safety concerns. They are more concerned about their protocol.”Owner report · Service Brakes · Apr 2026

“This is the 2nd time the charcoal canister and valve have been purged with gasoline. Toyota dealer is saying I am on the hook for this bill again for the replacement of those parts. I have paid out of pocket already once last November/December 2024 and then a year later on December 19th, 2025 the same things happen. I never over fill my gas tank and I believe there is something faulty going on with this truck. The Toyota dealer claims its a user issue but I have never ever had such an issue happen. I think there is some issues with the emissions/gas tank in general that Toyota is not addressing.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Dec 2025
