Failure Date: 06/11/2025

The underside of my 2011 Toyota Tacoma is experiencing tremendous rust. Dealer said since there was not perforation, nothing to be done. Brackets holding wiring, body panels and now gas tank have rusted and failed. The gas tank strap is a major concern. It is available for inspection. The gas tank is held up now by one unrusted strap and rubber bungee cords I applied. Dealer or independence service center has not seen it. Nearest dealer is a ferry ride away, I live on an island. No inspection by manufacturer etc. No warning lights or messages.

This VIN number was totaled due to a bent frame after being rear ended on June 10th. I fear my insurance company (usaa) will attempt to commit fraud by not reporting the title as salvage.

Rubber strip down the passenger side of the roof gone.

5 Body problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2019

The horn in my 2011 Toyota Tacoma quit working. I went to use it my horn, and it did not work. I've taken my truck to several places to see if it could be fixed. I have been reading where this is a common problem for many Toyota owners. Also, the white paint on my car is starting to flake off. The truck isn't even 10 years old and has been maintained. Yet again, there are thousands of consumers affected by this. Apparently there are two types of white paint that Toyota knows to be an issue on certain year models, but they have not issued a recall. Having a paint job is an expense that most can not afford! I could see if it was something that was caused from an accident or the owners fault, but this is ridiculous. Mine is starting to peel and flake on my passengers side door around the window. There was no preliminary flaking or peeling of the clear coat, it went straight from white paint to gray. Numerous people have written in about both of this issues and there is nothing being done! there is no reason why they can't fix our horns. I live in n. C. And my truck will not pass inspection without it. This leads to other tickets and fines that shouldn't be happening. I can't tell you how many times I have needed my horn, and it doesn't work.
