2015 Toyota Tacoma Problems

Paint starting to peel on exterior of both passenger and rear passenger side doors above window frame. Apparently Toyota is aware of the problem in models with the Super White paint color and has issued a recall for their vehicles with certain VIN's. My VIN is not included in the recall although the paint peeling is identical to other vehicles that are included in the recall. Thank you.

The vehicle's Super White Factory Applied paint (040) is peeling around the exterior window frame. Took it to local dealership and was advised to speak with Toyota Customer Service who advised that my year had not been included in the SRP 23TE08 with the same issues for years 2016-2022. They asked me to file complaint here so hoping that it can be added to get the repairs approved.

TRAC OFF & ENGINE lights came on. Removed gas cap and put it back on. Removed cables to the battery and left them off. Replaced battery cables. Lights remain on. Went to dealership and they charged $100 to scan vehicle. They don't know what's wrong and said it'd be another $800 to check further. They said maybe a rodent had chewed through a cable??? Have seen several reports of this vehicle condition and the battery cable resetting took care of the problem a lot of the time. Not this time. Don't feel comfortable A. driving the truck with these lights on and B. Don't feel comfortable with handing over $800 for them to look into it. What to do?????????????

When starting vehicle (2015 Tacoma TRD Sport) on a cold morning, received check engine light and trac light. Used code reader and received code P0418 Secondary Air Injection System Control A Circuit error. I reset the code and it came back immediately. I did some research and it is a known issue. I also contacted a local Toyota Dealer (Kool Toyota) and they stated there is no open recalls on my vehicle and that they have replaced this on some vehicles but mine is not included on the recall. In review this is a known issue with the Secondary Air Injection System failing with Tacomas yet Toyota fails to do anything about it. It is an expensive fix for a known issue. Toyota has recalled 2012s and have a service notice for a fix but it is expensive. The Service notice was created because of the issue however they fail to do anything about it besides a service notice.

The emergency brakes locked up during use and the truck has to be rocked back and forth for the emergency brakes to get unstuck. Did some searching and lots of other Tacoma owners has experienced the same issue

I came to a complete stop right after a left turn into strip shopping parking lot. My automatic transmission in drive with my left foot on the brake. My truck suddenly took off on its own hitting another vehicle at high speed a few inches away to my right. From police report later it appeared 5 other vehicles were hit. Mine was towed to a city lot and retrieved by my insurance company and totalled.I had fractured mid left clavicle and was put in ambulance to ER. No other injuries I’m aware of to any persons.It occurred a few days prior but in a parking lot with nothing in front of me to crash into so I had time to think to step on brake and move auto transmission to park or neutral. No other times did it occur to me. My husband also drove truck and coincidentally had 3 backup accidents in a row backing out of a parking space. First time that type of accident had happened to him.I told everyone what happened but I couldn’t see witnesses or exchange information because my pain was too severe. According to what I heard others saying or what was written I wasn’t believed. They tricked me once I got to ER and locked me on psych ward like I was suicidal but I never told anyone I was. I think they wanted to keep me in hospital longer for the money because they did nothing but an X-ray and I went the entire night with no pain medicine right after radiologist told me that clavicle fracture is the most painful kind of fracture.

Driving around a winding turn incline , tacoma hesitated at 40 mph while going down incline. Tacoma rpms fluctuates at 40 mph as if the engine is having difficulty accelerating. You can hear the engine stalling or shuttering to catch up to speed. This is occurred driving at a steady 40mph. The Tacoma seems to be stalling out at a certain speed limit and rpm at 40 mph. It only has this symptom at 40 mph going down an incline. This is dangerous and there were vehicles behind me traveling at the same speed going around a winding turn incline. This could of caused a pile up because of the tacoma struggling to maintain speed and accelerate to keep speed. Ive taken this tacoma to Nalley dealer and they've replicated the problem but thought if resetting driving mode would clear the problem. That did not clear the problem and its currently causing the same issue. The tech seems clueless in whats going on when ive explained that it happens at a certain mph and while going down incline. The tech know that this has occurred when he taken the tacoma on a test run. Some how the tech think a reset of driver style handling is the issue. The tacoma isn' responding to a driver style handling reset. Ive scheduled another appointment with the dealer to have the tech check the tacoma again. There are other years of Tacoma's that have this problem. I believe this particular tacoma has the same issue as the other tacoma years that are under a torque converter recall.The symptoms are identical compared to other tacoma year models under the torque converter recalls.I don' want this problem to become a hazard where the tacoma cause a massive pile up in traffic because of the unstable mph at 40 mph.The 2015 tacoma doesn't keep steady speed limit at 40 mph going down incline. The rpm fluctuates at 40 mph as if its trying to distinguish what speed limit the engine is driving at. The tacoma is stalling at 40 mph while making a shutter sound while driving down inclines and winding turns.

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while her husband was depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated independently. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The driver was able to regain control of the vehicle and continued driving to the residence but experienced the failure for second time. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the air filter, the intake box, the throttle body, and the fuel injectors to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,599.

Was in a serious accident while driving and rear ended another vehicle and my airbags did not deploy. Serious front end damage resulting in a total loss of my Tacoma. Shocked airbags did not deploy. Definitely should have.

Purchased this vehicle used from dealership after reviewing the carfax and receiving reassurance from dealer that airbags were never deployed. 4 days after purchase passenger window needed to be reset into the track and upon removing plastic around front pillars, discovered vehicle had airbags cut out of it. Also found other SRS components of vehicle tampered with or non functional.

Due to the failure of the secondary air pump system vehicle will experience a sudden loss of power and could cause a loss of control. Toyota is aware of the problem but will not issue a recall.

The key fob separate from the key dangles while driving and with manual seats there is no way to adjust the seat up or down and while accelerating or braking, while moving leg and foot the knee hits the key fob and causes the key to turn while driving leading to a hazardous safety condition, Toyota needs to integrate the key fob into the key so nothing is dangling to get hit by the knee and knock key out of position

The contact owns a 2015 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed an unusual burning odor in the interior of the vehicle. The contact's wife, who was seated in the front passenger's seat, noticed a fire in the power switch area of the rear driver's door. The contact then parked the vehicle. The contact extinguished the fire with a jug of water that was in the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. In addition, the manufacturer requested an inspection of the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

THE WIPER BLADE COWL OVER TIME HAS COME AWAY FROM WINDOW AND ALLOWS WATER THE GO INTO CABIN AIR FILTER AND LEAK THROUGH TO THE INSIDE OF TRUCK. FROM WHAT I AM LOOKING UP ONLINE MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAS HAD SAME ISSUE WITH SAME YEAR AND ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE EARLY 2000. I FELL AS THIS COULD LEAK TO FAILURE OF THE BLOWER MOTOR OR WIRES UNDER DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN IT RAINS OR WASHING VEHICLE. *TR

USED CERTIFIED 2015, TACOMA, PURCHASED AT TOYOTA OF ORANGE, CA. WITH A PITTED WINDSHIELD. DEALER DIDN'T DISCLOSE. SAFETY ISSUE. DEALER WANTED TO DO A REPAIR IT NOT REPLACE IT. SENSE THEN I HAVE A REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE, BECAUSE IT CREATED A VISIBILITY HAZARD. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. ALL THEIR INSPECTIONS MISS IT. DISCOVERED ON 3-12-19, SEVERAL DAYS LATER AFTER PURCHASE.

I purchased this vehicle from CarMax in South Sacramento. Before I purchased this vehicle, I asked that the tires be replaced with new as they are original to the vehicle, and there are indications of their being aged, cracked tread, and missing tread on these tires. These tires appear to be the original tires that were purchased when this vehicle was new. The lf tire is reading at 8/32 to the center/and outer tread, the lr tire is reading is 8/32 to the center, and outer tread, the right rear tire is reading 8/32 to the center/and outer tread, and the rf tire is reading 8/32 to the center/and outer tread. The salesman advised that these tires would be replaced with new if I brought them into their service dept after purchasing the vehicle. I was able to bring it back within 3 days, and the CarMax Dealer General Manager, and Service Department manager feels that these tires are safe to drive. I did discuss that these are aged, cracked, and missing tread, and that there is a slight vibration when driving under speed of 75 - 80 mph, and that these tires are unsafe due to their conditions of being aged, cracked, and missing tread, and they refused to replace with new. These tires in my opinion are very unsafe to drive, and this is why I am reporting the conditions to you. They keep mentioning the fact that they are compliant to your standards, and are not in agreeance with their initial advice to bring the vehicle in to have them replaced with new because of their age/and their unsafe condition.

truck frame, welds, seams, control arms, calipers, ball joints etc....all have significant rust. the drivers side rear fender to frame support has completely rusted through. i am stunned by the amount of rust underneath this vehicle. there are several areas close to perforating but no holes. toyota inspected my frame last week and said it was "fine" and to schedule the CRC treatment. the alloy rims are also severely pitted and bubbled due to rust. there is not a component underneath this truck which does not have significant rust . i live in NYS and wash under the truck weekly in the winter. i have used fluid film, rust converter and POR-15 to try to keep the rust away. why is my 6 year old truck rusting faster/more than any of my other cars. this has to be a manufacturing defect.

The engine light and the track off warning light came on at the same time as i started the engine when i got off work. on the way home i noticed acceleration was not happening as it should when i pressed the gas pedal. I had a mechanic code it and he said it was the switching valve and the air injection pump which would cost about 1200 dollars to fix. My 2015 Toyota Tacoma only have 35000 miles on it. After during so research i found that this is a problem with other toyota truck owners. This could be a safety problem while driving in a situation where you would need to accelerate in fast moving traffic and maintain speed without slowing the traffic behind you

Drivers side rear door latch broke while on high way door came open door open light was off door latch will not work just flips back and forth.

WATER LEAKING INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT - SOAKING ELECTRICAL WIRE BUNDLE, SEAT AND FLOOR; DRIPPED AT RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT GRAB HANDLE IN RAIN OR WET SNOW VEHICLE STATIONARY OR MOVING

WHEN DRIVING OVER 50 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. DEALER SAID IT WAS THE TIRES. HE REPLACED THEM AND THE SHAKING STOPPED FOR ALMOST A YEAR. TIRES WERE REPLACED AGAIN AND SHAKING STOPPED FOR ALMOST A YEAR THEN RESUMED. NO SHAKING OCCURS AT SPEEDS UNDER 40 MPH WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. MOST OF MY DRIVING OCCURS BELOW 40 MOH.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2015 TACOMA 4X4 AND IT HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT NOW. THERE IS KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM BEHING THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND THEY TOLD ME THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT NEEDS REPLACED. EVIDENTLY THERE IS "PLAY" AROUND WHERE THE RUBER BUSHING IS. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2005 MODELS. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THIS? THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE BUT COULD POSSIBLY BECOME A LIFE THREATENING ONE! I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA FOR NOT OWNING UP TO THIS PROBLEM TO REPAIR IT INSTEAD OF PASSING THE COST ON TO THE CONSUMER!

I AM CONCERNED THAT THE LABEL ON MY TRUCK WHICH CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT THE WEIGHT LOAD BEARING IS WRONG, BECAUSE BOTH LEAF SPRINGS ON MY TRUCK BROKE AND I WASN'T CARRYING A HEAVY LOAD, OR MORE THAN WHAT IS RECOMMENDED. HOW DO I PURSUE A DISPUTE WITH A RECALL? TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A DIRT ROAD WHEN I WAS HAULING AN ATV AND I NOTICED THAT MY BED LOOKED OFF BALANCE.

BF GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL TA HAVE PUT US IN DANGER MANY TIMES. WE PURCHASED A 2015 TOYOTA TACOMA FROM DOLAN TOYOTA IN RENO, NV FEBRUARY 2015. WELL ON A TRIP PASSING THROUGH SACRAMENTO, CA IN MARCH 2015 IT BEGAN TO RAIN.THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HYDROPLANE ON ALL FOR TIRES EVEN IN 4-WHEEL. COMPLAINED TO DOLAN, THEY SAID SORRY TIRES ARE MADE FOR OFF ROAD IN IN DRY WEATHER AND REFUSED TO REPLACE. ON AUGUST 8, 2015 WAS FOUR WHEEL FOR FIRST TRIP IN TACOMA, THE TIRES SLIPPED ON ROCKS, IT BEGAN TO RAIN AND THE TRUCK SLID INTO THE SMALLEST HOLES. THE TIRES HAVE ZERO GRIP IN WET DIRT. THE TACOMA SAVED US WITH ITS MANY OFF ROAD FEATURES. OUR LIVES WERE AT RISK DURING THE TRIP FORCING US TO BACK TRACK CAREFULLY. THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE OFF-ROAD NOR ON ROAD ESPECIALLY IF MOISTURE IS PART OF THE ENVIRONMENT. WET WEATHER IS COMING, FOR SAFETY & SANITY, I'M REPLACING THESE DEATH TRAPS WITH ANOTHER PRODUCT, NOT BF GOODRICH!

In the Winter of 2020, we stopped at Walmart to get a new light headlight for the Toyota 2015 Tacoma Truck and it was hard to put it in and THEN the Retainer Spring Clip fell out and was lost. No where to be found! Also the Gasket to the Headlight fell too and was lost. It stayed loose for a while and the Truck didn't pass its Annual Safety Inspection for 2021 because of the Headlight not staying in in September. This last Friday, October 8, 2021 I went to Oursiman Toyota in Chantilly, VA to order the Gasket and pick it up on Saturday, October 9, 2021 thinking that that was all I needed and I could fix the part and the Headlight/Lamp. I didn't relaize that the Retainer Spring Clip didn't come with it and when I called back to Oursiman Toyota today, Monday, October 11, 2021 the Parts Service Guy said I had to order the entire Headlight Assembly to get the Retainer Spring Clip. After doing some research on-line it SEEMS that the majority of people who own a Toyota Tacoma Truck have been having the same issue for many many years as I found out today, Monday, October 11, 2021 at the Web Site, tacomaworld.com. ALSO it is a Safety Issue for your State Safety Inspection for the State of Virginia. I went to Pohanka Chevrolet last week to get an Oil Change and asked them to fix the light BUT they wouldn't touch or fix it either. The Part that holds the Headlight Lamp Assembly is flimsy and doesn't do justice. Corporate Toyota won't or hasn't addressed this issue. They are forcing people to buy the entire Headlight when that isn't the part they need. This is a safety issue! This doesn't serve the public for keeping their car in shape or compliant with State Safety Regulations. There should be a CLASS ACTION SUIT on behalf of the Owners of Toyota Tacoma Trucks the date ranges from the discussion group are various but the Model year my son has is 2015.
