2021 Toyota Tacoma

This vehicle stalled while driving. It would totally shut off. Once at 75 mph no warning just shut off. Had a cylinder misfire according to dealership. On 2 other occasions it shut off while driving. On those occasions I was backing up out of a driveway and driving slow on a drive. So very slow speeds. On those 2 occasions it had engine stall codes according to dealership. I filed a lemon law claim and because it didn’t stall in the 58 miles the tech drove it Tamara Clear from gulf states determined there’s no evidence it stalls despite the local Toyota dealership having stall codes in their notes. Tamara clear also didn’t comply with Arkansas lemon law and respond within 40 days. She took longer because she’s overwhelmed with cases according to her. Each time the vehicle totally shut off while driving it had master warning lights, charging system lights, oil fluid temp lights, all of it. I took pics but Toyota didn’t care about that either Potentially fatal. And they expected me to drive around with a 6 year old in it

The paint is starting to peel on the passenger fender. It is on the inside of where the hood gap is in a area that is not exposed to rock chips or would be susceptible to external damage. It is also located right next to where the rubber bump stop is to prevent the hood from contacting the fender so it would be impossible for the hood to cause the issue and since the hood has no signs of chipping or rubbing in that area.

I went to my regular Maintenace appt at my local Toyota dealer Newton, NJ on 3/10/2023. They told me that it would be about $700 or more for my 2021 Toyota Tacoma boot leak and an alignment. I was told that it was due me hitting potholes. I did not agree with their opinion, and i was annoyed. They acted weird as well. But i told them to fix it anyway. So they ordered the parts. Much later they said boot leak was under warranty, but just to pay for alignment. I was not happy with the pothole accusation. Thank God the boot leak was covered! I have been taking in my Toyota Tacoma in every 5,000-6,500 miles as suggested. Please keep me informed of any recalls. They fixed boot and alignment on March 15 2023.

The accelerator on my truck suddenly accelerates without warning at highway speeds 60MPH and above, as well as residential speeds of 25+ MPH. It also accelerates when coming up to a stop sign and you are slowing down. The Toyota dealership said they were unable to reproduce or duplicate the problem. It is very frightening when it happens because it lasts between 4-5 seconds if you do not apply the brakes hard. There has not been any warning lights or anything that comes up on the dash board.

PCS malfunction, VSC malfunctions, Data transmitter for codes to dealership doesn't work, Transmisson jerk/lost in gears, from stop to go would jerk into gear, hot air comes out of steering wheel (video proof), air coming through window controls. when the Pre-collision system had its malfunction the truck took complete control which gave me no access to breaks or gas, when PCS system kicked off truck jerked really hard & started accelerating on its own causing very high RPMs then just stopped accelerating. Transmission would occasionally seem to have an improper shift & jerk. I took my vehicle to Toyota of Denton for the 5k service, & stated issues with the PCS & VSC malfunctions shown on the dashbord. Denton Dealership said don't worry we will take care of it. The itemized reciept doesn't show issues were looked at; & I kept having the same issues. So I took my truck back to the Denton dealership 2nd time & was told "no malfunction light so no ssues were there" by the Service Manager. who also said "the truck sends malfunction codes to a computer at the dealership, but no codes were sent." Which made me feel like there was more wrong with the truck, including electronics, data sender/reciever, & vehicle alert system relay via dash board aswell. Contacted Corp. Informing them of my issues & concerns making it the 3rd time trying to resolve ongoing issues & requested a field inspector from Corp. look at it instead of a dealership. When complaining to Corp. I stated hot air comes from the steering wheel after 1 hr driving it. Field inspector only drove it 45 miles & said nothings wrong with it. I drove this truck for 8,557 & he didnt find anything wrong in the little 45 mile test; yet the black box showed several pending codes on my truck & also the inspectors truck which is the same year & model. Black box data shows pending code on 1/12/21, 4 days before I acquired it; none again until 2/6/21 & then pending codes AT LEAST twice a month until 11/22/21. BBD pic proof

The Audio system sound cuts out intermittently when the vehicle is in motion. This occurs when using the AM radio, the FM radio, the SiriusXM radio, and when the phone is connected. The display on the Audio head unit remains on and shows the radio station and information about what's being broadcast, while the connection to the speakers cuts out at random. This has been an ongoing problem for the past 6 months. I have made 8 trips to a Toyota dealer to have this diagnosed and fixed to no avail as the dealer is often unable to replicate the problem. The Audio head unit has been replaced twice (3rd Audio head unit now) and the problem persists. I have cell phone video of the problem as proof. This would be a "safety" issue if I were attempting to be informed of an imminent severe weather event, or in the event I was attempting to make a phone call in the case of an emergency.

I buy a Toyota Tacoma 2021 on 5 of June 2021 in Toyota Walnut Creek California. And I have to sell it again on 15 november 2021 5 months later. Ok I was driving in a long trip of 9hrs. And I adjust the seat to be comfortable to drive but I notice that when I was looking to the front right side the mirror in the center to look to the back was in the way of my view, and I drive , moving my head down to look under the mirrorevery time when I look to the right front. A the end of the trip I get tired driving that way. Next time I was driving in Oakland Ca. I was in a stop waiting to turn to the left side in a road, and the cars in the other side in front of me the put me the high beams,and I was thinking they give me the pass, and I look around to drive,and right away 3 persons was in front of me, and thanks to GOD I don’t drive over and kill them. And I get very mad frustrated , I was ready to break the mirror with my right hand, but I control my self and don’t do it. That was when I notice the mirror and the black spot is in the mirrow is a very bad location, that take lot of view to the front right side, they need to relocated all the sensors are in that area. I sold the truck no because I can’t drive it eny more.I call Toyota I they. Don’t pat attention.

Not a "safety" issue per se, but the A/C expansion valve makes a loud whistling noise every 15 seconds when driving on freeway and the noise is quite distracting when combined with other possible safety alert noises. TAS case was opened with Toyoyta and they state that vehicle is operating as per design and no further action will taken on their part. Noise seems to be getting more frequent and I can't believe the vehicle is designed to be this way. It seems a redesigned expansion valve should be required to prevent unnecessary distracting noises.
