7 Windshield problem of the 2005 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 07/17/2008

I own a 2005 Toyota Tacoma. When driven at freeway speeds, the front windshield seals begin to vibrate and create an exceedingly loud squeal along the top of the front windshield. This noise sounds like a siren and is very startling. The first time this happened, I almost drove off the road. It sounded like I was in the path of an emergency vehicle or had just hit some type of animal. Toyota motor corp. Is aware of this condition, but will not fix it. They have issued a service bulletin, nv006-07, but stated that I was responsible for the repair. I am afraid that others will swerve, crash , or be injured by this noise.

9 Windshield problem of the 2007 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 11/27/2007

New 07 Toyota Tacoma access cab 2wd with 400 miles on it emits loud wind noise from windshield area at freeway speeds around 70mph+. Sound was more like a screech than a whistle and will likely distract most drivers from focusing on road as it did me. I drove it around for the first few weeks of ownership to make sure it wasn't an isolated incident and found the problem could be re-produced about 90% of the time on the freeway at the right speed. Took it to dealership and they advised they had just received a TSB about it being a bad seal on the windshield. (I did not find the TSB on the internet yet, but it could be quite new and not yet posted) as the truck is well under warranty, they promptly arranged to have the windshield completely re-sealed. It's only been one day since, but so far the problem appears to be repaired. Tacoma owners should be aware of this issue as it could present a safety problem just by how distracting it is while driving.
