    My complaint does not actually involve toyota but it does involve in aftermarket part that i installed on my vehicle. I ordered a set of weathertech floor liners, which is suppose to be molded for your vehicle floors. The major problem is the clutch petal wants to catch under the mat itself. I can show a video if you would like , but i feel this is a safety issue. I can probably fix this problem with a little bit of…

    I always wanted a toyota truck ever since i was 16. Now at 38 i decided to purchase a 2009 tacoma brand new and i currently have 30,000 miles on it and i began noticing an annoying whining sound from the rear of the vehicle at 65 - 70 mph. I brought in in to my local toyota dealership and they said it was normal. I was shocked to hear this since i have never heard this noise from any of the trucks i have owned…

    Since september of 2007, i drove a 2008 toyota tacoma. July 13, 2010 at approximately 8:55 a.m., i was stepping on my brake to come to a stop behind a vehicle at a stop sign in a residential area. I started braking slowly as usual. It appeared the brakes were working but not catching as fast as usual so i put extra pressure on the brake. Getting too close than i should be for a stop, i pushed the brake to the floor…

    The radio acts erratically and unpredictably. It changes stations, turns itself off and on, etc. Sometimes the controls, such as the volume, are non-responsive, so the radio cannot be turned down or off when needed. Since fiddling with the radio usually makes it eventually start working again, it is a distraction hazard. I have drifted over the yellow line trying to get it working again. The dealer has acknowledged…

    Had installed running boards on my newly purchased tacoma 2010. Failure: it is installed too high as to manufacturer's instructions. Occurs every time entering or exiting the vehicle. It has created an unsafe situation that would lead to physical damage to me and the passenger. Has not received an answer from toyota of america ( case file #0909136310) or the dealer. ( daytona toyota). *tr

    Like a great many other people, i am experiencing major problems with the radio in my 2009 toyota tacoma. The radio turns on and off randomly with no input from me. It also switches bands (fm1 to fm2, etc.) of its own volition. Sometimes it refuses to turn on at all. Judging from the other complaints scattered around various forum sites on the internet, this problem seems particularly prevalent in the "access cab,"…

    I was driving westbound on i-90 (kennedy expressway) at approximately 9:40 am on saturday, august 8, 2009, in my 2008 toyota tacoma. I was traveling at approximately 40 mph when i applied the brakes as a car in front of me slowed to exit the expressway. When the vehicle in front of me exited, i stepped on the gas pedal and my truck immediately began to accelerate at a high rate of speed. I slammed on the brakes but…
