2005 TOYOTA TACOMA DOUBLE CAB WITH SKID PLATE. SKID PLATE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE AT HIGH SPEEDS, 70 MPH AND HIGHER. IT'S WORSE WHEN CAUGHT IN A CROSS WIND ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON WINDY DAYS. VERY STRONG AND LOUD VIBRATION. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY WHEN THE SKIDPLATE WAS REMOVED. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS FROM ONLINE FORUMS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THE STRONG VIBRATION COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND WHO KNOWS WHAT DAMAGE IT COULD CAUSE TO THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THE SKID PLATE.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
EXHAUST POOR ENGINEERING. THE CROSSOVER PIPE ON THE EXHAUST IS THE LOWEST POINT OF THE VEHICLE. IT HANGS DOWN BELOW THE TRANSFERCASE MOUNT. THIS WILL GET CRUSHED IF TAKEN OFF ROAD. I BOUGHT A 4 X 4 TRD MODEL FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF TAKING IT OFF-ROAD. A CRUSHED OR DAMAGED CROSSOVER PIPE COULD RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR EVEN DEATH. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK

2005 TOYOTA TACOMA ACCESS CAB WITH THE TRD PACKAGE AND SKID PLATE 2W DRIVE. E SKID PLATE CATCHES AIR AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE VIOLANTLY AT 75 MPH AND HIGHER, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THE LOSS OF CONTROL. WE REMOVED THE PLATE AND NOW THERE IS NO VIBRATION. PEOPLE WILL THINK IT IS THE TIRES BEING OUT OF BALANCE, BUT IT IS THE PLATE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO REDESIGN THIS PLATE AND CHECK THINGS IN A WIND TUNNEL.*AK
