Tl* the contact owns a 2016 toyota tacoma. The contact stated that the windshield wipers performed very slowly even when they were on the highest speed. The failure prevented the contact from seeing the road clearly during heavy rain. The vehicle was taken to mike calvert toyota (2333 s loop w, houston, tx 77054) where they stated that all the vehicles were manufactured the same way. The manufacturer was made aware…

I started the truck and the air conditioner started making a terrible rattling noise. The noise stopped when the fan was turned off. I contacted toyota and was told it was an issue with the blower motor and that the part was back-ordered with no timeframe for a fix. I am in line behind over 1200 other people for the back ordered part. Initially i felt that this was only a comfort issue, which is distressing enough…

The blower motor / fan in the cabin is broken and makes loud noises - does not work. In heavy rain, windows fogged up, unable to see road clearly in a wet, crowded and slippery road. Waiting more than 10 days for the dealership to get the part, dealership commented that 'this was the third one today' when i dropped by to schedule a service call.

My windshield "popped" and caused a crack. Nothing hit the windshield. When i tried to get the half inch crack repaired, the crack spread to over 18 inches.

Toyota is reportedly using a new windshield for the 2016 tacoma line, asserting better acoustical insulating qualities. A long crack across the windshield quickly developed within hours after parking the truck in the parking lot of my employer, and has continued to branch off in several directions since appearing, thus compromising the windshield's structural integrity and safe visibility in bright sunlight. There…

Windshield cracked 2 weeks after purchasing the truck. Had to pay $500 deductible through my insurance, windshield from toyota cost $1,000. Next issue is my transmission slipping when shifting from reverse to drive. Took it into the dealership and they found the transmission to be low, they topped it off and it's still lagging when shifting. Miss the engine in my 2012 2nd gen. Come on toyota!!!!

I had this truck less than 2 weeks with around 500 miles on it and the windshield cracked due to a pebble hitting it at a fairly low speed. The windshield seems to be especially fragile in the 2016 tacoma as i have had multiple rocks hit my windshield at higher speeds and never had it crack so easily. I have also found that many other 2016 tacoma owners are experiencing the same issue.

The windshield cracked after the first pebble hit it on the interstate. I was in a construction zone doing about 50 mph. While this sounds like a normal issue, this happened 200 miles after getting the vehicle. I traded in my 2009 tacoma which had been hit hundreds of times on this same stretch of road. I didn't think too much of it until i went to the auto glass repair place and discovered mine was the 3rd 2016…
