I have had 5 cracked windshields in about 6 years. Never had any broken windshields in my previous 45 years of driving. I was told one replacement was a factory OEM. Generic for others mostly from Safelight here in Orlando Florida. These replacements have jacked up my insurance premiums. What is going on?

Rust protection has never been done. I just purchased this truck in August 2023 from dealer (new and used) and learn about this deadly serious frame rot. I was at Faulkern Toyota Wednesday morning 9:30am appointment just to be told "the previous owner did not bring it back for the rust protection ". Tell me time has expired. This is a life or death issue. The frame rots, you loose control while driving. Faulkern Toyota admitted the work was never done because the previous owner never returned. Maybe he was sick on his death bed with covid-19. Faulkern Toyota refused to do anything and sent me away. .

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRAC OFF & ENGINE lights came on. Removed gas cap and put it back on. Removed cables to the battery and left them off. Replaced battery cables. Lights remain on. Went to dealership and they charged $100 to scan vehicle. They don't know what's wrong and said it'd be another $800 to check further. They said maybe a rodent had chewed through a cable??? Have seen several reports of this vehicle condition and the battery cable resetting took care of the problem a lot of the time. Not this time. Don't feel comfortable A. driving the truck with these lights on and B. Don't feel comfortable with handing over $800 for them to look into it. What to do?????????????

The driver was able to regain control of the vehicle and continued driving to the residence but experienced the failure for second time. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the air filter, the intake box, the throttle body, and the fuel injectors to be replaced.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When starting vehicle (2015 Tacoma TRD Sport) on a cold morning, received check engine light and trac light. Used code reader and received code P0418 Secondary Air Injection System Control A Circuit error. I reset the code and it came back immediately. I did some research and it is a known issue. I also contacted a local Toyota Dealer (Kool Toyota) and they stated there is no open recalls on my vehicle and that they have replaced this on some vehicles but mine is not included on the recall. In review this is a known issue with the Secondary Air Injection System failing with Tacomas yet Toyota fails to do anything about it. It is an expensive fix for a known issue. Toyota has recalled 2012s and have a service notice for a fix but it is expensive. The Service notice was created because of the issue however they fail to do anything about it besides a service notice.

WHEELS
I purchased this vehicle from CarMax in South Sacramento. Before I purchased this vehicle, I asked that the tires be replaced with new as they are original to the vehicle, and there are indications of their being aged, cracked tread, and missing tread on these tires. These tires appear to be the original tires that were purchased when this vehicle was new. The lf tire is reading at 8/32 to the center/and outer tread, the lr tire is reading is 8/32 to the center, and outer tread, the right rear tire is reading 8/32 to the center/and outer tread, and the rf tire is reading 8/32 to the center/and outer tread. The salesman advised that these tires would be replaced with new if I brought them into their service dept after purchasing the vehicle. I was able to bring it back within 3 days, and the CarMax Dealer General Manager, and Service Department manager feels that these tires are safe to drive. I did discuss that these are aged, cracked, and missing tread, and that there is a slight vibration when driving under speed of 75 - 80 mph, and that these tires are unsafe due to their conditions of being aged, cracked, and missing tread, and they refused to replace with new. These tires in my opinion are very unsafe to drive, and this is why I am reporting the conditions to you. They keep mentioning the fact that they are compliant to your standards, and are not in agreeance with their initial advice to bring the vehicle in to have them replaced with new because of their age/and their unsafe condition.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The engine light and the track off warning light came on at the same time as i started the engine when i got off work. on the way home i noticed acceleration was not happening as it should when i pressed the gas pedal. I had a mechanic code it and he said it was the switching valve and the air injection pump which would cost about 1200 dollars to fix. My 2015 Toyota Tacoma only have 35000 miles on it. After during so research i found that this is a problem with other toyota truck owners. This could be a safety problem while driving in a situation where you would need to accelerate in fast moving traffic and maintain speed without slowing the traffic behind you

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I came to a complete stop right after a left turn into strip shopping parking lot. My automatic transmission in drive with my left foot on the brake. My truck suddenly took off on its own hitting another vehicle at high speed a few inches away to my right. From police report later it appeared 5 other vehicles were hit. Mine was towed to a city lot and retrieved by my insurance company and totalled.I had fractured mid left clavicle and was put in ambulance to ER. No other injuries I’m aware of to any persons.It occurred a few days prior but in a parking lot with nothing in front of me to crash into so I had time to think to step on brake and move auto transmission to park or neutral. No other times did it occur to me. My husband also drove truck and coincidentally had 3 backup accidents in a row backing out of a parking space. First time that type of accident had happened to him.I told everyone what happened but I couldn’t see witnesses or exchange information because my pain was too severe. According to what I heard others saying or what was written I wasn’t believed. They tricked me once I got to ER and locked me on psych ward like I was suicidal but I never told anyone I was. I think they wanted to keep me in hospital longer for the money because they did nothing but an X-ray and I went the entire night with no pain medicine right after radiologist told me that clavicle fracture is the most painful kind of fracture.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
truck frame, welds, seams, control arms, calipers, ball joints etc....all have significant rust. the drivers side rear fender to frame support has completely rusted through. i am stunned by the amount of rust underneath this vehicle. there are several areas close to perforating but no holes. toyota inspected my frame last week and said it was "fine" and to schedule the CRC treatment. the alloy rims are also severely pitted and bubbled due to rust. there is not a component underneath this truck which does not have significant rust . i live in NYS and wash under the truck weekly in the winter. i have used fluid film, rust converter and POR-15 to try to keep the rust away. why is my 6 year old truck rusting faster/more than any of my other cars. this has to be a manufacturing defect.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
In the Winter of 2020, we stopped at Walmart to get a new light headlight for the Toyota 2015 Tacoma Truck and it was hard to put it in and THEN the Retainer Spring Clip fell out and was lost. No where to be found! Also the Gasket to the Headlight fell too and was lost. It stayed loose for a while and the Truck didn't pass its Annual Safety Inspection for 2021 because of the Headlight not staying in in September. This last Friday, October 8, 2021 I went to Oursiman Toyota in Chantilly, VA to order the Gasket and pick it up on Saturday, October 9, 2021 thinking that that was all I needed and I could fix the part and the Headlight/Lamp. I didn't relaize that the Retainer Spring Clip didn't come with it and when I called back to Oursiman Toyota today, Monday, October 11, 2021 the Parts Service Guy said I had to order the entire Headlight Assembly to get the Retainer Spring Clip. After doing some research on-line it SEEMS that the majority of people who own a Toyota Tacoma Truck have been having the same issue for many many years as I found out today, Monday, October 11, 2021 at the Web Site, tacomaworld.com. ALSO it is a Safety Issue for your State Safety Inspection for the State of Virginia. I went to Pohanka Chevrolet last week to get an Oil Change and asked them to fix the light BUT they wouldn't touch or fix it either. The Part that holds the Headlight Lamp Assembly is flimsy and doesn't do justice. Corporate Toyota won't or hasn't addressed this issue. They are forcing people to buy the entire Headlight when that isn't the part they need. This is a safety issue! This doesn't serve the public for keeping their car in shape or compliant with State Safety Regulations. There should be a CLASS ACTION SUIT on behalf of the Owners of Toyota Tacoma Trucks the date ranges from the discussion group are various but the Model year my son has is 2015.
