There have been several times i have gone out to my tacoma that i can hear the fuel pump running on it's own. I heard it running one evening, while no keys were inserted and the truck was locked up.

Two major issues on my truck: 1) the front driver side suspension has been squeaking whether the vehicle is in motion or not. 2) the radio unit reboots itself randomly and multiple times during a short drive rendering the backup camera useless.

The head unit is inoperable when connected to bluetooth and handsfree driving function is inoperable. Toyota is aware of the issue and has no resolutions, but to blame panasonic.

A lot of us tacoma owners are having trouble with our blue tooth dropping out during phone calls. I live in massachusetts and they frown us from holding your cell phone to talk to someone. I purchased a 2019 and it has 900 miles and did not ever think this would be a problem with a brand new truck. To this day, it's still a problem.

I have owned my toyota tacoma for 18 months and my radio has had problems every since i bought it. Toyota supposedly has ran tests on it every time i brought it in at 5,000 mile oil changes and tire rotations. It still randomly cuts off and takes forever to come back on. It also will end a call while i'm on the phone with someone or disconnect my phone while i'm on the phone with someone and won't connect back.…
