2025 Toyota Tacoma

Fourth generation Toyota Tacoma interior door handles -- 2024, 2025, 2026 -- suffer from an engineering or manufacturing defect. These handles are breaking during normal use, by the thousands. This is a serious safety risk, as drivers with limited mobility, or even fully-abled drivers can be entrapped within the vehicle during an emergency. A regular pull, let alone a hard pull, routinely snaps the mechanism. Toyota dealer has 1000+ backlog of repairs. This is a serious safety risk and a recall is critical. Drivers will die if this is not addressed; it is merely a matter of time.

The vehicle is a 2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road subject to Safety Recall 25TA11 involving the front axle shafts potentially breaking. The manufacturer has confirmed the recall and that a remedy is not yet available. The vehicle has been at a Toyota dealership and out of service for an extended period while waiting for a repair solution. The dealer has confirmed that no repair can currently be performed because Toyota has not released a remedy. This defect creates a safety concern because a front axle shaft failure could result in loss of drive power and potential loss of vehicle control while driving. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership and manufacturer through the active safety recall notice. No warning lights or prior symptoms were observed before the recall notification. The vehicle is currently available for inspection at the Toyota dealership upon request.

I got pieces of glass into my eyes [XXX] Video of the Event 👆 This is what I sent to Toyota and the Dealer Toyota of Pharr, as I get ready to take it in for repair but they told me to make a claim on my insurance, when it was literally a defect with the glass Warranty Claim – Defective Sunroof Shattering (2025 TRD Pro) To Whom It May Concern, I am the owner of a 2025 Toyota TRD Pro currently under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. While driving, the sunroof on my vehicle shattered spontaneously without any external impact. I have video evidence clearly showing the glass cracking, with no rock strikes or other outside causes. This failure I feel is a defect in materials, not outside damage, and therefore falls squarely under Toyota’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The warranty specifically excludes glass damage only when caused by external objects; it does not exclude spontaneous failures like this one. For my safety and the integrity of the vehicle, I am requesting that this repair be processed under warranty without delay. I’m risking water to enter the vehicle which will cause more damage. Please document and submit this claim to Toyota Corporate. I also feel I need to help the public of future Tacoma TRD Pro buyers and owners and file a formal defect complaint with NHTSA, as this type of spontaneous glass failure represents a significant safety concern. I respectfully request written confirmation that this will be covered under warranty and ask that you proceed with the repair promptly. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

I think it’s a serious safety issue for Toyota not to include a trailer brake controller or at least a connector to install an aftermarket trailer brake controller on my truck. This has been mentioned numerous times by customers. My truck is rated to tow 6,400 with no way to add a trailer brake controller. I don’t see how Toyota can legally sell this truck without at least giving an option to install an aftermarket controller, even though Toyota doesn’t recommend it.

The XM radio fades out when ever you go under a tree and on its own when going down the road. It says that it is trying to locate a satellite!

Toyota said to file a complaint with NHTSA. Toyota's case number is 250707000269. The truck is 3 weeks old! With 453 miles on it.
