2018 Toyota Tacoma Complaint Log

While driving on 3 lane interstate, with the adaptive cruise control on, while passing a semi truck the front collision brake system activated. I was doing 72 miles an hour when it happened. The result was almost got rear-ended by another vehicle when my truck applied the brakes unexpectedly. The semi did not cross into my lane. My lane was clear. 0

The paint is peeling off the top sections of both of my trucks rear doors. The paint appears to be peeling away down to either the primer or possibly the bare metal. This trucks paint code is 040 super white.

My 2018 tacoma has recently started leaking from the ceiling of the cab in the back seat. It is dripping water from melted snow onto the seat, causing a continuously damp seat.

Driving down the road and was passing a truck. CEL and TRAC OFF lights came on and truck went into limp mode. Could not accelerate and truck was slowing down. Had to pull over turn truck off and restart and it ran fine until I duplicated the passing and push on the accelerator. Had codes check and was showing misfires on cylinder 3. I changed the spark plugs and checked the coils which were good. Next day was I was driving and truck had the same problems and eventually died and would not restart. I took it to the toyota dealer and they checked numerous things and had found #1 cylinder intake value was leaking. They suggested to replace the entire motor at a cost of $12,000. I declined and took it to another mechanic to see if the head just needed replacing. In that time I found others were having the same problem and it was a malfunctioning part in the intake manifold. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2016-tacoma-in-limp-mode-fixed.659782/ This is the forum were I found the problem and it fixed it. A piece of it was holding my intake valve open and that was the cause of it not starting and the leaking valve. I went and showed the Toyota dealer and they were not aware of that problem. I would like it to get posted so others don't get con into putting a new motor if it has the same problem. It seems everyone that has this issue is around 17 and 18 year models and all ranges of mileage.

Started noticing vibration on smooth roads a few weeks ago, as if tires were misaligned. Independent service center was able to reproduce the problem and found both rear shocks were cracked, with fluid leaking. Vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else, has not been repaired yet (but parts are being ordered), and is available for inspection. No warning lamps or messages appeared. This vehicle has not been driven off-road, only on smooth roads and highways.

I got in a car accident another car hit me T-bone right between the driver a d passenger door sideairbags weren’t deployed at all the incident cause me to jump into de sidewalk run over a sign and neither of the frontbags were deployed either the hit cause me to hit my head to the side window reason I got a concussion and been having headeaches since the day of the accident October 13th 2021 the car that hit me run a red light and must have been over 25 miles per hour cause the other car end it up been flipped over

Rear driver seatbelt retracts but won’t reel back up. After replacing it, shop recognized the ineffective nature of the other side. Safety of my children at risk. Inspected by independent shop and dealer. No warning lights. Symptoms include less effective

When pressing the brake it takes about 1/4 th of pressing the brake down before the brakes engage.

The mechanical design of Toyota's plastic visor assemblies that are installed in my Tacoma truck is disgustingly worthless and every last one of them will ultimately fail unless they are left securely fastened in the end visor holding clamp, permanently, and at all times while driving. That means not rotating them to shade a glaring sun through a door window glass. Toyota needs to redesign and replace all of their defective visor assemblies. The problem is with the rod holding design on the back side of the visor mounting plate. It is supposed to securely hold the plastic rotating arm from falling out of the mounting plate. It is wholly inadequate and will not safely support even the meager weight of the visor leaf itself. The only safe option is to leave the visor arm snapped into the end stabilizing/holding clamp. Mine dropped out of the mounting plate, twisting and dangling from the power cord wiring at a vulnerable time in moving traffic. It not only restricted my view, I was struggling to grasp the swinging visor to remove it from obstructing my view. All the while, steering with my other hand and merging into freeway speed traffic. It was a very serious problem at an inopportune and critical time. Since I was merging into freeway lanes from an on-ramp, there was no exit opportunity and stopping was not an option; all I could do was fight to avoid colliding with other vehicles. The hazard was compounded by a glaring sun that I was trying to mitigate by using the visor to shield the bright glare coming through the driver's door window. I was left purely with luck and good fortune; no guarantees at all. Compounding the problem was that it occurred during semi-rush hour traffic. It had significant potential of becoming a very serious life-threatening accident. I took the truck to my dealership for repairs but the only option was to purchase a duplicate assembly in excess of $400 U.S. Dollars, installed. Toyota needs to do the right thing and warranty all of them.

2018 Toyota Tacoma problem. I purchased the truck in October of 2018. On July 31, 2021 @ 3:50 pm While driving home I was in cruise control @ 82 mph when the display showed malfunction. The truck went from 82 mph to 60 within seconds again. A car behind me was able to change lanes to avoid an accident. The trucks display readings were Malfunction of headlight, radar cruise control unavailable & Lane departure alert malfunction and visit the dealer. After getting home I shut the truck off and restarted it. The malfunctions had cleared again. I made an appointment with the dealership for August 5, 2021.They worked with Toyota representatives to trying to solve the problem but couldn’t identify it. The conclusion was when it happens again bring it to the dealership (if possible) before shutting it off so they can do a diagnostic test while the truck is still running and showing the malfunction display. Luckily, when it occurred I was on a road with every little traffic. My problem now is that I don’t trust driving it using cruise control in normal traffic or at night not knowing if the headlights will shut off or the cruise control will shut down. This is the second time this has occur. The first time was in Aug 2019. I took to the dealer but they couldn’t identify the problem. My thought at the time was it may have been a one time event but it was not. I have pictures of the truck’s displaying the malfunctions on both events.

Two wires under the glove compartment start to smoke than I turn off the truck. Notice the wires burned. The ac no longer works

TOYOTA DEALER KNOWINGLY SOLD ME A 2018 40K MILES TACOMA WITH AN OPEN RECALL REGARDING FAILING LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP THAT CAN STALL AT HIGH SPEED. THIS WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT TIME OF PURCHASE. WE LIVE A GREAT DISTANCE FROM DEALER ON A REMOTE ISLAND MAKING RETURNING TO DEALER A CONSIDERABLE HARDSHIP. DEALER KEEPS SAYING 'PART IS COMING IN A COUPLE DAYS' WOULD LIKE TO CLEAR THIS UP ASAP .

2018 TACOMA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, HESITATES AND MISSES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35-60 MPH. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. SLIGHT PEDAL AND LOW RPM'S IN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR IS WHEN IT'S MOST NOTICEABLE. ON OCCASION, THERE IS A MORE SERIOUS MISS, WHICH FEELS AS IF YOU HAVE TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AT 50MPH AND THEN RIGHT BACK ON. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN FREQUENTLY, 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE 20,000 MILES I'VE DRIVEN IT. THE SHUDDER HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY TOYOTA ON 3 OCCASIONS, AND HAS BEE SHRUGGED OFF AS A "TYPICAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE". TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO SEE THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO RODE WITH ME AND FELT THE SHUDDER AND MISSING. HE HAD ME TEST DRIVE A 2019 V6 AUTOMATIC OFF ROAD AND IT ALSO HAD THE SHUDDER AND MISSING IN THE SAME RANGE. THE FINAL OUTCOME WAS THAT IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THE FUEL PUMP RECALL WAS DONE. THE POWER TRAIN WAS RE-FLASHED. NO CHANGE IN THE CONDITION. IT IS VERY UNNERVING AND DISAPPOINTING THAT THEY CONSIDER THIS CONDITION ACCEPTABLE.

The jack failed on this vehicle. I tried to jack it up off road as I got stuck on about 10 February 2021. The base got bent up and the next time I tried to use the jack I lightly dropped my vehicle because the jack was wobbly. I think immediately or some time after that I bought a jack from an automotive store and threw the jack that came with this vehicle away. I was definitely in an unideal situation and place to jack up my vehicle but my only other choice was to wait for someone to move it and I had no cell signal and I was in the middle of no where. The skid plate is dented and the vehicle itself has since been to a toyota dealer for scheduled maintenance and all of the tires have been replaced. Nothing was seemed to be damaged. But the jack was at a slight angle and the base was bent. I believe it is possible that this might be an issue for other owners of this jack component in their vehicles.

I WAS INVOKED IN A FRONT END COLLISION MY BRAKES DIDN'T STOP FAST ENOUGH MY PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE BOTTOM FLOOR AND MY TPS RADAR COLLISION WARNING DIDN'T ACTIVATE WHAT CAN I DO ?

DRIVING VEHICLE ON A SIDE STREET GOING APPROX 20 MILES PER HOUR . CAR STARTED SHAKING AND LOST MAJORITY OF POWER.

DEALERSHIP TOLD US NOT FUEL PUMP BUT WIRING HARNESS NEEDED REPLACEMENT BECAUSE RODENTS ATE THE WIRING ( SOY BEAN COVERING ON NEWER VEHICLES )AND ENGINE LOST POWER BECAUSE OF THIS . THANK GOODNESS NOT ON A HIGHWAY GOING 75 MPH. WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS WE VERY WELL COULD OF BEEN . TOLD WE NEED TO DETER THESE RODENTS FROM CONTINUING ANY MORE DAMAGE . WONDER WHY COMPANY WOULD USE A PRODUCT . THANK YOU.

DESIGN DEFECT RESULTING IN INABILITY TO OPEN HOOD. BATTERY FAILED (SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY) BUT COULD NOT OPEN HOOD TO JUMP START. TOW OPERATOR COULD NOT OPEN HOOD EITHER, SO VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. PER DEALER EMPLOYEE, DESIGN DEFECT RESULTS IN HOOD BUMPERS EASILY GOING OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, PREVENTING ABILITY TO OPEN HOOD. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IN A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT WHEN FUEL IS OR MAY BE LEAKING, THE BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED TO PREVENT A FIRE, ESPECIALLY WHEN OCCUPANTS ARE STUCK IN WRECKAGE PENDING EMS ARRIVAL. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME, LIKELY SAVING LIVES AND CERTAINLY PREVENTING CATASTROPHIC BURNS. THE BUMPER IS CLEARLY DESIGNED THIS WAY AS A COST-SAVINGS MEASURE, SO THAT THE BUMPER CAN BE USED FOR VARIOUS MODELS AND MAKES. THE BUMPER'S DESIGN HAS ALMOST UNLIMITED ADJUSTMENT, AND EASILY COMES OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. THIS DEFECT CAN BE EASILY CORRECTED BY SECURING THESE BUMPERS WITH AN ADHESIVE OR OTHER MEANS.

THE CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. AS I TURNED THE WHEEL AS IT WAS IN REVERSE THE CAR BEGAN TO ACT WEIRD AND THE BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO WORK. I PUMPED THE BRAKES 3 TIMES, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AND THE CAR PARKED BEHIND ME WAS HIT. I WAS GOING SLOW WHEN I REVERSED, HOWEVER MY WHOLE BUMPER SNAPPED OFF AND MY TAILLIGHT SHATTERED. THE TRUCK SEEMED TO HAVE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING USED....THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK JUST FINE AFTER, HOWEVER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WEREN'T ANY CODES INDICATING A LOSS OF BRAKES. THERE WAS NO FLUID OR LEAKAGE ON THE COMPARTMENT EITHER. EVERYTHING WAS FINE I WAS TOLD, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ADD UP FOR ME. THIS TRUCK WAS SECOND-HAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP, SO I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS PART OF THE TRUCKS THAT HAD A RECALL ON BRAKES. THE CURRENT RECALL ON IT HAD TO DO WITH THE PUMP WHICH THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR.

MY 6 SPEED MANUAL V6 3.5L TRD OFF ROAD TACOMA HAS HESITATIONS AND BUCKS WHEN YOU APPLY THROTTLE IN THE LOWER RPM 1000 TO 2000 RANGE TO ACCELERATE AND ALSO HAS POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN DOWN SHIFTING TO SLOW AND MAKE A TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET. YOU HAVE TO APPLY ALMOST 3/4 THROTTLE TO GET THE RPM TO COME TO WHERE YOU CAN REV MATCH TO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. IT MAKES FOR A JERKY RIDE FOR PASSENGERS AND SEEMS HARD ON THE DRIVETRAIN. NO DEALER FIX IS AVAILABLE. CLUTCH PEDAL ALSO SQUEAKS ON WARMER DAYS. *TR

ROUGH START WHEN ENGINE IS COLD OR WARM

2018 TACOMA TRD SPORT MANUAL TRANSMISSION - THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY 1 - ENGINE HESITATION IN 1ST AND MOST NOTICEABLE IN SECOND GEAR. THE TRUCK HESITATES AND SURGES DURING LIGHT AND MODERATE ACCELERATION - FEELING LIKE AN EXTREME LEAN RUNNING CONDITION. THIS PUTS THE DRIVER AND OTHER PEOPLE AROUND YOU AT RISK WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR HIGHWAY. IF YOU SHIFT A TOUCH EARLY INTO SECOND GEAR THE TRUCK OCCASIONALLY BOG ( STARVE FOR FUEL )HEAVILY - WHERE YOU MUST EITHER BE PATIENT, SLIP THE CLUTCH PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR HARDER, OR DOWNSHIFT. THE HESITATION IS THERE ALL THE TIME AND MORE NOTICEABLE WITH ANY LOAD UP ANY INCLINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE DRIVER MUST BE PREPARED AT ALL TIMES TO DOWN SHIFT, SLIP THE CLUTCH, AND MUST KNOW ABOUT THE HESITATION. MY CO-WORKERS AND FRIENDS HAVE DRIVEN WITH ME AND CAN'T BELIEVE TOYOTA HASN'T FIXED IT YET. MY SON CAME HOME FROM DRIVING IT - SAYING ITS HESITATING SEVERELY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY 1 AND GETTING WORSE. *TR

HITACHI SHOCKS CAN'T HANDLE DAMPENING REQUIREMENTS CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOSE CONTACT WITH THE ROADWAY - REDUCING TRACTION, BRAKING ABILITY, AND STABILITY. MY 10 YEAR OLD SON CAN COLLAPSE THE SHOCK WITH 1 HAND - NEVER MIND A VEHICLE THAT WEIGHS 4,000+ LBS. IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF LOAD - WHEN HITTING A BUMP THE TRUCK BOUNCES DOWN THE ROAD - WHERE YOU MUST BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL TO KEEP THE TRUCK TRACKING STRAIGHT. THIS IS MOST SEVERE ON THE HIGHWAY. NONE OF THE VEHICLES WE HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST 30 YEARS EXHIBITED THIS SEVERE SUSPENSION SHORT FALL. THE ONLY TIME YOU MAY EXPERIENCE THIS IS AFTER SOMETHING IN THE SUSPENSION HAS FAILED OR WORN OUT. NOT ON A VEHICLE WITH UNDER 30K MILES ON IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME AND THE WARNING TO BRAKE ALONG WITH THE ASSOCIATED BEEPING AND RED BLINKING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD APPEARED. THIS WENT AWAY AFTER ABOUT 2 SECONDS. IT WAS LIKE THE VEHICLE SENSED A CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT I WAS GOING TO HIT BUT THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME WHATSOEVER. THE BRAKES NEVER ENGAGED BUT THE WARNING CAUSED ME TO JUMP. IF I WAS IN A CONGESTED AREA OR ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OR SWERVE INTO SOMEONE/SOMETHING. *TR

IN JANUARY 2020 NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS OF CERTAIN VEHICLES THAT MAY HAVE LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ISSUES. IN MAY 2020 I WAS NOTICED MY MAIL THAT MY 2018 TACOMA TRUCK WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE SAFETY RECALL FOR A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM AND THAT A REMEDY WOULD COME SOON. TOYOTA STATES THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 2020. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE VEHICLES WITH FUEL PUMPS. ARE THOSE FUEL PUMPS HAVING NO ISSUES? IF SO, THEN HOW ABOUT REPLACING FUELS PUMPS OF EXISTING CUSTOMER VEHICLES.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS LOST POWER AND STARTED IDLING VERY LOW IN TRAFFIC. THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN RECALL FOR SEVERAL MONTHS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND TOYOTA HAS NOT FIXED IT.

I HAVE A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH AN OPEN RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. THE SAFETY RISK IS THAT THE VEHICLE MAY STALL AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS RECALL CAME OUT IN JANUARY 13, 2020, BUT THERE STILL ISN'T A REMEDY TO THE ISSUE. MY DAILY COMMUTE IS ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES ONE WAY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY TOYOTA TACOMA AS THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER. IT IS NOW APRIL 1, 2020 AND TOYOTA HAS YET TO RELEASE ANY FIX OR REMEDY TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY RECALL. HOW LONG DOES TOYOTA HAVE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE AND WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AT THIS POINT WITH THE VEHICLE?

AFTER SITTING OUT IN SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO START DUE TO APPARENT FUEL STARVATION. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS,AND REPEATED DEPRESSION ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL,FUEL WAS EVENTUALLY DELIVERED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE LOW FLOW FUEL PUMP IN FEBRUARY OF 2020 AND THERE STILL ISN'T A REMEDY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WHEN IT WAS RECALLED BECAUSE IT HAS A CHANCE TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. AND PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE WHILE TOYOTA TAKES THERE TIME IN DEVELOPING A REMEDY. IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME ITS TAKING TO LONG TO GET THE REMEDY. ITS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA OFFERING ME $100 BECAUSE THEY 'ACCIDENTALLY' MISREPRESENTED THE SAFETY RATINGS OF MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE LETTER STATES THAT THE RATINGS WHICH WERE 4 AND 5 STARS ON THE WINDOW STICKER FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION HAVE BASICALLY BEEN ALL CHANGED TO NOT RATED. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE ONE OF THE REASONS I CHOSE THE VEHICLE WAS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY RATING BY YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. NOW THERE ARE NO RATINGS OTHER THAN ROLLOVER WHICH IS RATED AT 4 STARS. I'VE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE WINDOW STICKER WITH VIN NUMBER BLOCK AS REQUESTED AS WELL AS THE PORTION OF THE LETTER THEY SENT. I CAN PROVIDE COPIES OF BOTH UPON REQUEST.. I'M SURE YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND A CALL TO TOYOTA WAS UNEVENTFUL AS THEY TRIED TO OFFER ME $100 TO OVERLOOK THIS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE IN THIS MATTER.
