October 14, 2026Steering

The steering rack has failed multiple times. The rack that was installed in the vehicle when I bought it new had cracked by 53,000 miles - not ideal, but these things happen. (This was discovered by my local Toyota dealership when I brought it in for service.) I returned for a six-month service with no problems. When I returned for my 60,000-mile service, thirteen months after the rack was replaced, the new steering rack had also cracked. This was after less than 7,000 miles driven on the new rack, almost entirely on paved roads in a temperate part of the country. At about twelve months, the rack began to make significant groaning sounds when making turns at low speeds. No warning lights hav

Occasionally Center cluster on start up is black it has gotten more frequent. No odometer, No cruise control, no digital speedometer. The truck has 12,000 miles on it now today October 13,2026. Selling dealer out of town has no knowledge of issue. Local dealer at time it exhibited issue said never seen that before just disconnect battery for 30mins that will fix it that’s what we do. Was waiting for recall or TSB but am tired of waiting.

October 6, 2026Unknown or Other

The rear quarter panel pressure vents failed which allowed water intrusion into the cabin of the truck. Severe mold and smell has occurred due to water damage. There were no warnings from toyota or dealership about these pieces failing and causing damage. To have a dealership replace just the parts, NOT including ruined carpet and pads due to mold, I was quoted $800- $5000 to replace a $60 piece of plastic

The wiper motor does not move fast enough to keep the windshield clear in heavy rain. Yes it is available to be inspected. Unable to see while driving even after slowing down. Only when encountering heavy rain. No No

August 4, 2026Power Train

The Clutch in the Manual Transmission makes a "creaking" noise, and you can feel it when driving too, when depressing the clutch pedal... The creaking noise is annoying, but the feel of the creaking is very distracting when driving the manual transmission, depressing the creaky clutch can distract you from the road because you can feel it; and it only get's worse when left alone. This is a recurring issue on my 2020 Tacoma. It was "fixed" by the dealer in 2022, I think, and now it's happening again... same "creaking" issue that starts out small and gets louder and more violent (you can feel the "creaking" in the pedal more) with time. This really seems like a parts failure and not a lube job
