Took vehicle to toyota dealer about warranty enhancement notice #ztz in march 2017 and was told it was expired and yet did not offer to replace the lights when there was clear evidense of the enhancement notice and that has never set well with me

The daytime running light / front turn signal is melted and the turn signals are not visible when engaged. toyota is aware of the issue and had a window of opportunity to repair it but they are telling me i missed that point. this is a very dangers defect and feel they should remedy the problem.

I had both of my headlamps replaced by toyota under warranty because they were melting at the daytime running light lens. the drivers side headlamp is melting again. i was told by toyota that the one year warranty given on the new headlamps was over and that they would not be replaced again. i do not think toyota fixed the problem but just replaced the defective headlamps with more defective headlamps to buy time until everyone was out of warranty and they wouldn't have to do anything about it.

The daytime running lights have melted the newer type service bulletin replaced headlight housings. also noticed is heat discoloration of the wiring connector. *tr

Auxiliary audio jack is designed poorly causing failure. front turn signal both sides yellow bulb the connector for the bulb and the bulb itself blackens and is fragile. fake front bumper cover is misleading and falsely gives a feeling of safety. actual bumper is quite small and may lead to catastrophic injury or death in the event of a moderate overlap collision. the accident or collision occurred with a moderate overlap hitting left 1/4 of front bumper the front left fender was pushed into the door causing more body damage than should have occurred. *tr

Takata recall the yellow part of the headlight has melted cracking both lenses inside, was told by the toyota dealership/crbin, ky the recall was over and i was too late to have both headlight assemblies replaced. i didn't receive anything in the mail about a recall, nothing from the dealer to let me know there was a recall on the lights. i bought the truck in ohio, but i live in ky

On a recent inspection of the lights on my vehicle i noticed that the daylight running lights (drl) were melting both left and right headlight assemblies. the light bulb retainer is discolored indicating signs of a high heat. my toyota dealership confirmed there is a problem with the drl's, however they were only replacing the headlight assembly if the vehicle is under warranty. i then contacted toyota customer service and asked if there was a fix for the headlights, they confirmed that there is no fix and they will not replace the headlight assembly. the problem is a potential fire hazard. an internet search provided numerous accounts and pictures of this chronic problem. i would like toyota to correct the hazard and repair the damage to my vehicle. again the biggest issue here is that if toyota replaces the headlight assembly it will be with the same components that cause the problem. *tr

The driving lights on my 2010 toyota tacoma have burnt both headlight lens and cracked one. the service manager immediately commented aloud that this was a design issue and the dealership had seen this problem in other like vehicles. a call to toyota received a rapid no! to assuming any responsibility. toyota refused to replace the headlight lens due to the vehicle being out of warranty due to mileage. on november 09, 2013, the toyota rep offered to replace one lamp assembly but the owner had to purchase the second one and assume all labor costs. this is not acceptable considering that this is a manufacturer's design defect. it is unknown if this problem occurred during warranty or at what point afterwards. the vehicle has been regularly serviced at the dealership as per owner's manual yet no technician reported the burnt and cracked lens problem. it was the owner who first noticed the problem april 29, 2013, two days after the vehicle was serviced at the dealership. however that same week, the owner was diagnosed with aggressive cancer and an immediate treatment plan prevented the owner from pursuing ...
