2024 Toyota Tacoma owner complaints (15)

• POWER TRAIN

  While stopped at a highway stop light the light turned green and the truck would not shift into first gear. I tried cycling the clutch, shifting into second, and shifting into reverse but the truck would still not shift into first gear as if it were blocked halfway between neutral and first gear. There was a semi-truck fast approaching behind me and they had to lay on the horn and swerve dangerously into the next lane over to avoid hitting me while I was stopped at a green light. Finally, after about 30 seconds and multiple attempts I was able to engage first gear after pumping the clutch a few times and going from second to first gear. I will reach out to the dealer to see if this is something they cover under their warranty, but the issue is intermittent. It has happened a few times before but not to this extent or risk level.

• STRUCTURE

  I’ve had this truck for less than 2 years and the driver’s indoor handle has snapped and broken twice. The handle stays intact but the inner component breaks. The only way to open the door is from the outside of the vehicle. This is extremely dangerous in case of an emergency. I either have to roll the window down to open the window from the outside or climb out of the drivers seat and use an alternate door in the car. The dealership fixed the issue the first time and advised that this has been happening to other customers as well. I will be taking my vehicle back to fix again next week. My car is under warranty, however, if my car was not under warranty, the dealership would’ve expected me to pay for the fix, despite this being a safety related issue.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  The 2024 Tacoma has a recall out for the screen because it blacks out. We took it to the dealer to remedy this recall, even though we were not experiencing symptoms associated with the recall. After they did the update, our screen blacks out and the Bluetooth does not work. Our screen is blacking out and our Bluetooth does not work after the Toyota dealership allegedly fixed the recall.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  The factory Heads Up Display (HUD) on my 2024 Toyota Tacoma Limited (VIN: [XXX] ) intermittently resets its motorized vertical position to the fully raised/home position, most often triggered when unlocking the vehicle and opening the driver door. The HUD panel actuates upward without input, partially removing projected speed, navigation, and driver-assist data from the driver's sightline. The component is available for inspection. Safety risk: The displacement is unpredictable and intermittent. A driver relying on the HUD for speed or warning information may not notice the shift until already in motion, creating a distraction hazard. Dealer confirmation: Three visits to Envision Toyota of [XXX] . RO #XXX (11/30/2024, 2,259 mi) — FTS contacted, could not duplicate, no TSB found, no repair. RO #XXX (03/03/2026, 15,039 mi) — noted as 3rd visit for same concern. Toyota Technical Assistance Center contacted; TAC Case #XXX opened. Toyota's documented response: condition acknowledged, no repair procedure available, concern under investigation. Manufacturer inspection: Yes — Toyota TAC has formally acknowledged the defect via the above case number. Warning lamps/messages: None. No warning indicators accompany the reset. First observed shortly after delivery (September 2024). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

• SERVICE BRAKES

  Vehicle Information Vehicle: 2024 Toyota Tacoma VIN: [XXX] ate: January 26, 2025 Repair Completed: October 1, 2025 Safety Complaint Description Beginning on or about February 5, 2025, my 2024 Toyota Tacoma developed a serious braking-related safety issue that substantially affected the safe operation of the vehicle. When I brought the vehicle to the dealership, I reported braking concerns and was advised by dealership personnel that the vehicle may not be safe to drive due to concerns that the rear brakes might not function properly under certain conditions. I was specifically told by dealership staff that they would not recommend driving the vehicle due to safety risks. Despite this warning, I was forced to continue operating the vehicle because no repair remedy was available at that time and no equivalent loaner vehicle or safe alternative transportation was provided. Over the course of several months, I repeatedly contacted the dealership regarding the issue. Each time, I was told that no repair remedy was available and that nothing could be done until Toyota released a repair solution. I was also advised that my only option was to leave the vehicle at the dealership indefinitely, which was not practical because the vehicle was my only means of transportation. As a result, I was forced to continue driving a vehicle that had been identified as unsafe. The defect remained unresolved for approximately eight months. During this time, I experienced significant safety concerns and loss of reliable vehicle use. Because of the prolonged delay in repair and lack of alternative transportation, I was ultimately forced to purchase another vehicle in order to maintain necessary transportation. The braking-related condition was not permanently corrected until approximately October 1, 2025. This situation created significant safety concerns because I was forced to operate a vehicle that dealership personnel advised may not be safe to drive, yet INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

• SERVICE BRAKES

  After having Toyota Tacoma rear brake hose recall performed at Steven Toyota Harrisonburg Va I have very poor braking! This is a huge safety concern for my family and myself. Toyota is not taking this matter seriously. I was told “bring it in and let the tech have another wack at it”. No get a master tech on this problem immediately! I had reservations about having this recall performed by Toyota because in Toyotas pursuit to fix a problem they always make it worse. This has been our family’s experience over the course of many years. I have reported this issues to Toyota corporate and they are oblivious to our families safety concerns. They are more concerned about their protocol.

• SEATS

  The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver’s seat became inoperable. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the driver’s seat hydraulic function failed to operate properly, causing the contact to adjust the seat several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the failure could be due to an inadvertent engagement of the lever on the driver’s seat. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,645.

• SERVICE BRAKES,LANE DEPARTURE

  What component failed?
 The rear brake system (rotors and pads) and the components associated with Safety Recall 25TA04 (rear brake hoses). The parts are available for inspection. * How was safety put at risk? 
The dealer (Island Toyota, St. Croix) labeled my 2024 Tacoma "UNSAFE TO DRIVE" on Invoice #[XXX] but refused to perform the Federal Safety Recall (25TA04) for rear brake hoses unless I paid for an $800 brake job first. This violates federal law by making a safety recall conditional on customer-paid maintenance. I am currently driving a vehicle the dealer documented as "unsafe" because they withheld the free safety remedy. * Has the problem been confirmed?
 Yes, the dealer confirmed the rear brakes are failed but refused the recall and the 36,000-mile warranty claim. * Has it been inspected by others?
 Not yet. However, the dealer’s technician failed to record actual millimeter measurements for the pads or rotors on the official invoice. * Warning lamps or symptoms?
 Metal on metal grinding noise from the rear brakes. No warning lamps appeared prior to the failure. * Additional Note on Records:
 The dealer falsified my service records on Line C (Recall 25TC07), claiming I was "unwilling to wait" for a repair that was never even mentioned to me. The dealer also claims I denied service on Line B, but what actually happened is I refused to pay $800 for a premature brake failure that should be covered by my 36,000 mile warranty or as consequential damage from the recall. The dealer then used my refusal to pay for pads as an excuse to withhold the Federal Safety Recall (25TA04). I never denied the safety repair I denied a bill for a factory defect. I have uploaded photos of both rear wheels. The left side is healthy, but the right side is completely destroyed with deep scoring. This uneven wear at only 34,613 miles proves this is a manufacturing defect, not my driving style. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  It happened on February 17, 2026 around noon. My truck is park on the drive way, I went outside to checked the condition of the weather and I notice the driver side window glass looks like a crumpled Reynolds Aluminum wrap. I called Toyota Service Dept since the truck won't start. The battery was replaced and so is the window glass but, they told me it's not covered by the warranty. I paid the new window glass for 619.99. I called Geico my insurance and the deductible was 1,000.00. I told Geico I will not claim for the damages for now. I was wondering of all the cars and trucks park in our neighborhood, only my truck sustained this kind of damage. Would this fall under defective materials used by Toyota?

• SUSPENSION,WHEELS

  The rear leaf spring broke on my 2024 Toyota Tacoma at approximately 16,000 miles during normal highway driving. The vehicle drove without issue on the way to my destination. On the return trip, I noticed a creaking sound, loud clunks, particularly when going over bumps or turning, and also increased sway. Given how new the vehicle is, a catastrophic suspension failure was not something I anticipated. The failure was confirmed on February 12th by my authorized Toyota dealer, Toyota of Muskegon in Muskegon, MI as a manufacturer defect. The vehicle is currently at the dealership awaiting a replacement part and is available for inspection upon request. A broken leaf spring compromises the structural integrity of the rear suspension, affecting vehicle stability, handling, and control - particularly at highway speeds or during braking. A failed leaf spring can also contact the fuel tank, creating a potential fire hazard. This is a documented risk, as Toyota issued a recall on 790,000 Tacomas from model years 2005–2011 for this same failure. When I called my authorized dealership, the service manager told me to get the truck off the road immediately. Based on my description, he identified it as a likely broken leaf spring and that it was an extremely dangerous situation. He even suggested that I get the truck towed into the dealership. The dealer has documented it as a manufacturer defect and submitted a warranty claim. A replacement part has been ordered but is currently on an extended backorder with no confirmed availability date. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Toyota dealer, who confirmed the leaf spring failure as a manufacturer defect. Toyota corporate has been notified and a case has been opened (Case #: 260303000171) There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. The leaf spring failed without any prior symptoms or indication of a problem.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I had been on the road for about 15 minutes nothing different and then I look in my rearview mirror and underneath the bed of the truck was on fire and The truck was completely destroyed and Toyota is not doing anything about it or helping at all and im a toyota employee of almost a decade

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V595000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

• UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  When the radar becomes covered with ice and snow, the truck continuously spawns alerts for each Safety Sense feature that is disabled, including a pop up the occludes the instrument cluster and can not be dismissed. Multiple warnings interfere with focus in poor conditions and create more of a safety hazard due to driver distraction.

• SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V058000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed but traveled down to the floorboard. The brake warning light blinked, and the message to “Pull Over to a Safe Area” was displayed. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. The contact stated that brake fluid had leaked from the vehicle. The driver was able to drive back to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed andit was determined that there was a hairline crack visible, and that the clip on the brake line was missing a bolt. However, the dealer informed the driver that the failure had occurred due to the oversize tires installed on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was towed back to the residence. The vehicle remained at the house unrepaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I am reporting a safety issue with my 2024 Toyota Tacoma regarding Recall 25V595 / 25TA08 (Blank Instrument Cluster Display). Multiple authorized dealers have refused to perform the repair, claiming that parts are unavailable. This defect prevents me from obtaining commercial insurance and fully utilizing the vehicle for my business needs, as a non-functional speedometer is a major safety hazard. This situation is significantly impacting my work and safe operation of the vehicle.
