general problems of the 2011 Toyota Tacoma

1. ) headlights are yellowing. 2. ) hard to see at night. 3. ) everyone has the same problem. The government should mandate going back to glass headlights for safety reasons. Buffing them only lasts a short period of time and the elderly can't afford to buy new oem headlights every 6 years as they are very, very expensive. This is a safety issue, as yellow lenses equal more nighttime accidents, fact. This should have been addressed years ago.

Both left side and right side day time running light lens inside head light assembly are burned and discolored. Head light assembly lens are cracked.

My daylight running light keeps burning out and splitting the lens. It's the second set of light I've had to replace them.

The running lights are running too hot burning the headlamp and burning the connecting wires.

Daytime running lights bubbling again after recall and replacement. Noticed it yesterday (8/15/18). The truck has 80,812 miles and the recall notice said warranty only good until 5 years or 70,000 whichever comes first. Seems to me they put new bad ones in when they replaced them under the recall. Not sure exactly when they started bubbling again.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that the daytime running lamps became really hot. The contact then noticed that the daytime running lights turned brown and melted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called temecula valley Toyota at (951) 694-0575 (26631 ynez rd, temecula, CA 92591) and was informed to call the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that the warranty enhancement had expired. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.

My daytime running lights quit working because they got too hot and burned the lens and bulb socket. This caused my front and rear right blinkers to cease working and could have had disastrous results.

Day time running lights are too hot. The bulbs have melted and bubbled the plastic housing. Called Toyota and they said it was out of warranty and that a notice was sent out about this issue which I never received. Took my truck to two different dealerships and was never told about any issue. Toyota will not cover any repairs or replacements.

The bulbs in the daytime running lights are melting the lenses.

The running light lens on driver's side is fogged and cracked. Toyota issued a voluntary recall and sent me a letter that they would replace part up to 5 years or 70,000 miles. I have 65,000 miles but my truck is greater than 5 years old, and they would not replace the part after I contacted them. According to my local dealer this will eventually happen to the other side as well.

The running lights area developed cracks and a round shape cloudy area in front of the light bulb like it melting the plastic.

Purchased new Toyota Tacoma 2011 from local dealer. Problem is with daytime running lights getting too hot and burning and cracking lens. Customer service says they sent out warranty policy bulletin (pol14-03) , but I never received notice. They also say both warranties they created because of this problem, have expired, and will not pay for repairs. I am worried they may start a fire because of the overheating.

This vehicle has 2 front daytime running lights. The lights in this area are overheating and causing the lighting case to have a "bubble" in the bulb casing. This is causing damage to both driver and passanger headlamps. This is caused when as soon as the vehicle is turned on and when parked or driving.

My daytime running light bulbs are beginning to melt the lenses. The drl are a safety item and Toyota has not issued a recall for this. I feel as the truck ages the drl will continue to melt and will not be as visible to other drivers. Also if the headlamp assemblies build up enough heat it could pose a fire risk.

Noted during wash that the daytime running lights have a quarter size melted spot directly in front of the bulb and one lens has cracked apparently from heat and the near proximity of the bulb to lens. Potential may exist where this could cause a fire. It appears that no recall is being processed to address this manufacturer issue and many people are experiencing the problem form the 2008/9 year through 2011. Toyota may have corrected the issue in 2012/13 year time frame yet they still have many vehicles operating with the threatening problem which could impact lives.

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the contact noticed burn marks on both front head lamps caused by the daytime running lights. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the head lamps needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who stated that a voluntary recall for the failure had expired. The failure mileage was 25,000.

Daytime running lights melting, may cause possible fire to vehicle. Several Toyota Tacoma truck owner's at workplace have same problem with their drl. Toyota dealer stating unaware of problems and they never heard of any issues regarding the drl melting.

Rear leaf springs have broken and the front head light covers have cracked.
