2024 Toyota Tacoma

Checked by HTN AUTO SHOP at 800 N Western Ave, Oklahoma City, OK-73106. Shop owner said it could be a problem sooner or later since the car is operated under dirt road a lot and recommand me not driving it very often. However i drives a lot, to go to other states and also to many off roads. Average drivers drive 12k miles a year. I bought this truck [XXX], today is 8/8/2025 and have already put on over 18k miles which would translate to about 27000 miles a year, i drives 2.5 times more than others and i need my vehicle to be safe as i drive my wife and my [XXX] baby. Toyota manufacture kept saying me they wont pay directly to the rental because there is no loaner with the vin, they said just go and rent and send them a bill later and they will review for reimburse. I spoke with Fowler toyota rental and service manager they said the recall for my car wont be avaiable till October- that is another 2 months from now. The dealership do aware this is safety recall and i should get a rental but im not comtable with Toyota may review and 2 months later rejected my rental bill for reimburse. Toyota Corporate kept telling me they have to review later. First call with them on 08/07/2025- the lady told me that Toyota will definitely review and pay for the reimbursement, i just need to go rent and pay for them myself first then reimburst later. I told her i cant do that i need Toyota to pay directly and she said there was nothing she can do. Then i went to Fowler Toyota TRAC department (rent a toyota) at dealership and told the dealership i want to leave my truck there till recall is done and i need a rental. Fowler toyota manager said i need to try to contact TOYOTA corporate again and try to have them pay directly to the dealership for the rental so i called Toyota corporate again while i was waiting at the dealership and again they refused said i need to pay upfront first and they will review for reimburse later. This time they said they "may" reimburest me later INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATI

That's why I bought this truck. The 4x4 mode.

I have a new 2024 Toyota Tacoma that I purchased December 2024. my dashboard lit up the morning of Thursday, April 17. Drive start warning on the dashboard and a secondary breaking malfunction warning I contacted my local Toyota dealer and informed him that my vehicle is giving me warnings and I only have 13,000 miles on the vehicle. I took the vehicle and they told me that it was the fuel pump they replaced the fuel pump return the vehicle to me, and before I could leave the parking lot both codes on the dashboard shut up again and the vehicle would not move. I am writing this report to document what is going on with the vehicle. I believe that it is a lemon and there’s something majorly wrong with it. I brought the vehicle brand new in December and again it’s only has 13,000 miles on it right now.

There is currently a safety recall on my vehicle that has no remedy available. There is a risk of having brake hoses rupturing and losing braking fluid, causing a no brakes situations and high risk for an accident. I reached out to the dealership and was provided with no information on how to resolve the situation, but was referred to their company's headquarters. Once I reached out to their representative, I was informed that the estimated time to provide a potential repair would be about 3 months. Essentially I was given the option of either driving the vehicle and expose myself and others to a vehicle incident or store my vehicle until there is a remedy provided, but still incur the costs of the vehicle, namely paying the vehicle loan.

Hello NHTSA, I'm writing to you about a safety design concern (not a complaint, no incident happened) on my 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The rear brake lines are routed inside the wheel and have approximately 3/4" clearance. There is no room for error and brake failure may occur very easily with the line getting damage, even by removing and installing the wheel. My concern is safety for my family and self with future brake related failure. I contacted Toyota and their response was that they haven't heard of an incident and to take to the dealer. I'm sure the dealer will charge me for the visit and say there are no recalls and nothing damaged.
