The low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail.
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2018 Toyota Camry and Highlander vehicles, 2017 Toyota Sienna and Tacoma vehicles and 2017 Lexus RX350 vehicles. During the manufacturing process, the oil galley in the rotor for the brake booster vacuum pump assembly may have been improperly machined possibly resulting in a sudden loss of brake assist.
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Toyota 4Runner and Tundra, 2018 Toyota Highlander, RAV4 and Lexus GX460 and 2017 Toyota Sienna and Tacoma vehicles. These vehicles may have incorrect load carrying capacity modification labels. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Tacoma vehicles equipped with a six-cylinder engine. The affected vehicles have a crank position sensor that may malfunction, potentially resulting in an engine stall.
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Tacoma vehicles. Oil may leak from the area where the rear differential carrier is assembled to rear axle housing.
The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while driving in the rain, the passenger inside the vehicle became aware of fluid leaking inside the cabin of the vehicle from the third rear brake light. The contact inspected the vehicle and became aware that there was mildew nearby where the failure started. There was an odor inside the vehicle and thought that the failure was coming from the cabin air filter. The contact stated that the instrument panel lights and the display screen were not illuminating properly at night. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failure of the seal on the third brake light. The failure mileage was 55,000.

Description of the Problem: I am filing this safety complaint regarding severe, premature clear coat failure on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma (Magnetic Gray Metallic). The factory paint defect is actively creating two distinct safety hazards involving driver visibility and cabin air quality. First, the clear coat on the hood has failed in uneven, patchy areas, exposing the base coat. The stark contrast between the dull exposed paint and the remaining clear coat creates highly irregular, fractured sun glare. When driving in direct sunlight, this uneven reflection casts unpredictable, blinding glare directly into my line of sight through the windshield, temporarily compromising forward visibility. Second, the clear coat is actively chalking and degrading into a fine chemical dust. Because this deterioration is occurring heavily on the hood, aerodynamic airflow during normal driving sweeps this micro-particulate dust directly into the cowl intake vent located at the base of the windshield. As a result, the HVAC system pulls these deteriorating clear coat particles into the passenger cabin. This introduces airborne chemical dust into the enclosed vehicle, creating a continuous inhalation and respiratory hazard for the driver and passengers. Toyota is aware of widespread paint adhesion and clear coat issues. They have issued Customer Support Program (CSP) ZKG to repair peeling paint on specific white colors (040/070), but they are refusing to acknowledge the exact same chemical failure occurring on their Magnetic Gray Metallic vehicles. Dealerships and the Brand Engagement Center routinely dismiss these failures as "environmental damage." This is a structural failure of the exterior coating that actively impairs safe vehicle operation due to visibility hazards and the ingestion of chemical particulates into the cabin air supply. I am urging the NHTSA to investigate this widespread defect on Magnetic Gray Metallic Toyota vehicles.

Vehicle: 2017 Toyota Tacoma Issue: Persistent water intrusion, extensive mold contamination, and unresolved condition following Toyota Limited Service Campaign 21TD03. Approximately 12–18 months ago, Gray-Daniels Toyota in Brandon, Mississippi, performed Toyota's service campaign addressing water intrusion through the rear center high-mounted brake light. At that time, the vehicle's carpeting was wet and mold-contaminated. The dealership replaced all carpeting as part of the campaign repair. Within two days of receiving the vehicle, I contacted the dealership's service department and reported that the interior remained wet and the condensation problem had not improved. The service department advised me by telephone that Toyota was aware of another water-intrusion problem involving the rear cabin vents. I was informed that nothing further could be done unless I paid for an expensive additional repair. The dealership did not reinspect the vehicle. The water intrusion continued, and the vehicle now has extensive visible mold contamination, particularly in the rear floor area. I no longer consider the vehicle safe to occupy or operate because of concerns about exposure to mold and airborne contaminants. I am concerned that the original manufacturer-authorized repair failed to resolve the water intrusion, that an additional known source of water intrusion was not investigated, and that the resulting contamination presents a potential occupant health and safety hazard. I request that NHTSA review this condition to determine whether the water-intrusion defects and resulting contamination warrant further safety investigation, including whether other Toyota Tacoma owners have experienced similar problems following completion of the service campaign.

While driving at highway speeds on the interstate, the driver-side sun visor suddenly experienced an internal mechanical failure, snapping at the pivot point. Instead of detaching completely, the visor dropped down into a vertical position, completely blocking my forward windshield view. Because this occurred while driving directly into blinding sunlight, the combination of the obstructed windshield and the sudden, unshielded sun glare caused an immediate and severe loss of forward visibility. This created an imminent crash hazard on a high-speed roadway, requiring an emergency reaction to blindly clear the obstruction from my field of vision while attempting to maintain vehicle control.
