Body problems of the 2017 Toyota Tacoma

Noticed that my floor is getting soaked for no reason. After bring my truck to arlington Toyota I found out that is was the cabin pressure vent that was leaking. The cabin pressure vent is found between the truck bed and cab. They recalled the third break light in 2019 for leaking water into the cabin but Toyota won’t recognize this pressure vent as a recall which is also leaking water into the cabin. After pulling up all of the carpet I have black mold all under the carpet where my newborn baby was riding. Black mold is a huge health concern. Looking online this is a known issue with Toyota Tacomas. My parts to fix this issue have been back ordered for two mths so far, still with no eta on when they will be available. According to the service rep, I am one of nine people currently dealing with this same issue at arlington Toyotas dealership alone. So no time frames have been provided. When I was quoted the 5800 to fix this issue they suggested I go through insurance. This seems to be a known issue with product quality and instead of recalling they are pushing it to insurance companies. Seems to be a shady practice Toyota is pulling and no one is big enough to stop them.

Paint is peeling around doors on both sides of the vehicle. Both front and rear doors of the cab. Common known issue.

Customer support program 23te08. The initial notice went out, I need to know a remedy or at least a timeline of events. I'm attempting to trade my vehicle and this paint issue is affecting my trade-in value. In addition to the paint peeling, I've also encountered several random circular areas of dull paint in different areas of the truck. The paint issue needs addressed.

Not a safety issue. The clear coat seems to be fading on a lot of the 3rd gen Tacomas from the factory. Fades much faster than it should.

Paint is chipping off around rear passenger door on my white 2017 Tacoma, and Toyota wont do anything about it. Paid for paint protection coating for no reason I guess. I am not the only owner going through this there are petitions and forums all over internet too. Toyota should have to fix this problem. We noticed it about 6 months ago and it is steadily getting worse, I am afraid to wash it fear it would get even worse.

Excessive peeling/flaking paint on all 4 doors, hood, gas cap, all over.

The high mount rear stop lamp leaks water into the cab. The water channels in through a cheap gasket, down the inside of the frame, destroying the cushions and plastic through moisture and mildew. Toyota corporation and precision Toyota of tucson (service) az, both say the problem is only covered by the regular 36,000 mileage, 3 year warranty. They want to charge me $575 to replace the light. However, the known issue doesn't occur because of miles driven or even age of the vehicle. I live in the desert and it has not rained significantly since I bought the truck new in 2017, according to the national weather service. This year, with record rains, water is freely seeping in to the cab. Toyota should recall Tacomas with this issue and replace the cheap gasket it used to manufacture these trucks.

I had to have a leaking third brake light assembly replaced for water pouring into the cab. The total cost for repairs were 496. 00. My truck has only 40,000 miles and it has been leaking for a long time from the previous owner. It would have been replaced by Toyota if under 36,000 miles. There is multiple complaints on the website and a Toyota service bulletin involved with this repair. I think a recall should be introduced and a refund issued. I had the local Toyota dealer fix the leak with genuine parts.

My Tacoma has the super white color paint. It has been peeling for several months from the 2 passenger doors and both front fenders. Toyota acknowledges paint issues with the super white on several models but not the Tacoma. I’ve seen a lot of the same exact issue on the internet. I went to my local Toyota dealer and they said to go to their collision center for them to make a report and send to Toyota. Toyota then told me they are not covering that yet. The paint is getting much worse. I would like to file a complaint in hopes other Toyota owners are doing the same and they will finally acknowledge and correct the issue.

Leaking around 3rd brake light (rear of cab) began in spring 2020. Unfortunately, this is now out of the 36k warranty. Dealer refuses to repair due to my truck being at 53,000 miles.

Water came in through the back of the cab from the outside cab light I noticed it while going through a touchless drive through car wash. The water soaked through on the headliner and seat leaving a water stain and possible mold. I took the car in to a Toyota dealership and it was confirmed that the water was coming through the cab light on the outside of the truck. This problem was posted on Toyota's bulletin by other 2017 Tacoma owners.

3rd roof brake light leaking water into the cab of the truck. Seal is no longer water tight. Caused mold issues into the headliner.

Water leak into the rear of the cab. Toyota knows is a known issue but they decline warranty on it. They only have a t-sb-0055-18 but if the customer doesnt research for it online they will not even tell the customer. The water leak cause mold in the car and everything is wet on it. Our car has now 38000 miles. This is an expensive car and the mold will cause people to get sick. Toyota wants a customer to pay more than $10,000 to fix an issue that is cause by them. Please help about this.

Oxidation on the upper part of the front glass, being such a modern vehicle and having such problems in the bodywork. I went to my Toyota dealership to claim what happened and they told me that this was not a fault that it must have been some kind of fault, but if we search the entire roof of my vehicle we find many pints of oxidation that are not worked on, they can turn into the same thing that is coming out now.

The sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving on the freeway. I was driving straight at approximately 65 mph on a smooth surface. The outside temperature was approximately 75 and sunny. The sunroof shattered outward and no glass or rock was found inside the vehicle. Additionally the glass break was convex outward not concave inward toward the vehicle.

Takata inflators I was struck on my front left side . Every panal on the drivers side ws impacte side was impacted. I was traveling bout 40mph. I spun around and ended back innone of the air bags deployed a dranage ditch. I was driving in a state highway.

I was making left turn crossing traffic rolling almost to a stop ,pressed on gas and truck did not move and paused about 2 seconds and took off across intersection and oncoming truck had to brake hard to avoid hitting me. I contacted dealer and test drove with tech. Could not duplicate incident and told other like problems reported to dealer ,ran tests and reported no problem found. Also reported to them turning left up steep driveway truck transmission shifts and lunges forward and accelerates.

While driving on freeway at 65 mph a sudden very loud noise was heard, initially thought it was a tire, but after verifying that the trucks stability was not lost (in just a couple seconds) then started feeling air coming from the top. Opened up the sun/moon roof cover and pieces of the glass fell. Was not driving behind a truck, nor in construction zone nor under any type of bridge or by-pass. The freeway didn't have any big bumps, nor dips. Only two other vehicles were around, one on each side but a bit behind me, since my vehicle was in the middle lane of a 3-lane freeway.
