Two problems related to software have been reported for the 2016 Toyota Tacoma. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2016 Toyota Tacoma based on all problems reported for the 2016 Tacoma.
Toyota pushed an ota (over-the-air) that caused firmware and completely disables the onboard navigation. Presently, I now have �driver easy speak� out of the blue and that the �software is incompatible� on my head unit's display. This upload has disabled various Toyota models across the board. Contact with various Toyota dealers has been a waste of time. A letter sent to Toyota corporate has been fruitless. The dealer wants to replace the navigation unit for $1000!.
Audio system resets on its own and displays "check charging station". I had dealer look into it and they said that usb cables were defective. I thought they were looking into all possibilities and purchased new usb cables. Not the case, it still happens from time to time and does not work properly. As written by many other Tacoma owners, the shifting delay from reverse to drive and vice versa. I have 7000 miles on the truck and Toyota said there was a break in period for the transmission. They told me I had the most up to date software for the transmission. I should've never traded in my 6spd.
