2017 Toyota Tacoma complaints

The brake master cylinder is leaking to the inside of the cab floor.

I have started to notice that my 2017 Toyota Tacoma Off-Road has started to leak what seems brake fluid on my carpet. After inspecting my vehicle, I have noticed that the leak is coming from the Brake Master Cylinder. This situation has me worried now that this could lead to a serious accident. There is an apparent recall for this same exact issue for the 2018-2019 Tacoma models but, not for the 2017 model year.

Brake system is leaking fluid into the cab, and collects on the floor mat. Brake fluid level has dropped below minimum cold level. Mileage 42,164 Leaking brake fluid can cause decreased brake performance, or complete failure of the braking system. Which can result in loss of vehicle control and collisions with other vehicles, structures, or pedestrians. The dealer has not yet confirmed the issue. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by anyone other than the owner (myself). No warning lamps or messages. Leaking brake fluid was seen on the driver floor mat within the last few months, and continues.

Rear coolant bypass joint leak. This is a plastic defective pipe that has leaked on my truck and thousands of others! The dealership wants 2000 dollars to repair their cheap mistake! I have pictures and invoice to upload, but the site will not allow it.

Brake pedal spongy and when pushed and held it continuously goes slowly to the floor. I believe the recall for the master cylinder should have been extended back further.

The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine and traction control warning lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that engine cylinder #2 was faulty, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 101,000.

The 2018-2019 Toyota Tacomas have been recalled for having a bad Master Cylinder and leaking internally within the truck. The 2017 Tacomas have the same issue. My 2017 Tacoma has been leaking brake fluid on my floormat. I'm sure I am not the only one having an issue with this and because it involved the brakes it does pose a risk on the road If the brakes were to fail due to a Master Cylinder that again has been recalled with the 2018-19 Tacomas. Why not include the 2017 Tacomas as well?

I have noticed brake fluid leaking inside the cab coming from the master cylinder. I see that 2018-2019 models have a defective master cylinder, and a recall has been issued. Truck has 80,000 miles, thinking the 2017 model should be added to the recall. Very unusual for this to be leaking under normal use. Thanks for your time

BOUGHT THIS TACOMA TRUCK NEW FROM THE DEALER. IT NOW HAS 16,885 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THE FRONT BRAKES ARE IN THE RED, BAD RANGE, 3/32" OR LESS IN THICKNESS AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. I BELIEVE IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT BRAKES ON A NEW VEHICLE REALLY OUGHT TO LAST TWICE THAT MANY MILES. NOW IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE I WAS NOT SURE IF I SHOULD REPORT THIS TYPE OF ISSUE?

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR-TRUCK STALLED WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSEING AN ACCIDENT.OTHER TRUCKS HAVE BEEN RECALLED SINCE 2017 BUT NOT MINE.NO INSPECTION HAS BEEN MADE I WENT TO DEALER AND CALLED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING.MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND WON'T START SOMETIMES RAN COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS AND THIS SENSOR CAME UP.

Purchased 4 new Firestone Destination LE3 P245/75/R16 tires. I immediately noticed my truck vibrating a lot. The higher rhe speed , the bigger vibration. I took it back twice. The service tech. Indicated that he balanced them, so i took them to another service station. Two front tires wrre determined to be egg-shaped and could not be balanced. They were also noticably a different color than the back two tires as well. I am taking them back to the original seller and having them replaced under the warranty.

Transmission line was described by two auto mechanics (one from a Toyota dealership) as “rusted out” and “porous”, “low pressure/fluid” and “needs to be fixed”. I was totally unaware of the issue until I had to get my AC recharged. Note: this is a 2017 truck with 82,000 miles driven in Massachusetts. No warning lights went off.

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.

It has been well established among 2016 and up Toyota Tacoma owners and clubs that the Rear Coolant Bypass Joint leaks at different mileages, If the loss of coolant happens rapidly enough the engine could overheat and siez up and cause the pistions to weld to the cylinders along with causing extensive engine damage not to mention how the driver would handel the truck, Toyota dealerships and Manufacture also know of This Coolant Bypass joint leak and how common it is. Also the corrosive build up from the antifreeze will cause other parts and wires to not work, Attached is my part and the build up of antifreez before the leak,

We purchased a set of these tires at the end of June and have only about 15,000mi on them now. The embossed tire wear indicators show more than the 80% tread life left. About two weeks or so ago, I noticed a blister on the tire. Looking at it, there were a few tread blocks separating from the carcass. Yes, separation like what caused issues with Firestone and Ford Explorers a while ago! Pictures attached. I tried reaching out directly to Nokian and received no reply. I then tried to contact the seller (Budget Center) and Amazon. Initially, Amazon was helpful and the seller told me to go check at a local store. Now, Amazon says there is nothing that they will do and I have to go through Nokian on my own. Note that I was not asking for a refund, only help contacting Nokian. We have purchased several sets of tires from Amazon and will never again if this is how they handle warrantable defects. Shameful! The consumer was able to get in contact with the manufacture and the new tire is now installed.

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

Water leaked through the third brake light gasket at the rear, top of the cabin. There is a service campaign, I believe, for 2016-2018 Double Cab Tacomas. However, this issue is present in my Access Cab Tacoma. I have water leaking through onto the rear windshield.

The paint is chipping/flaking around the windows and along the edges on both rear doors. I have taken my Tacoma into two dealerships, Santa Maria Toyota, Santa Maria, CA and Arlington Toyota, Jacksonville, FL. I first reported this to The Service Manager Stacy at Santa Maria Toyota in July 2021 for the rear driver side door paint damage. Then on 16 March 2022 I reported the rear passenger side door damage to Body Shop Arlington Toyota. Both inspected my vehicle and stated this is a common problem with the Super white paint. I contacted Toyota Corporate both times and today they advised me to file this with you guys. I bought this 2017 Tacoma new and it has been garaged.

Mileage 64000: Vehicle went in for oil change and the mechanic noticed an issue with the differential mounts. The right bolt was corroded and broken leaving that side unsecured. The other bolt was heavily corroded also but still "intact". I had the support bolts, nuts and washers replaced on both sides for safety. These bolts were in a bad condition in relationship to a everything else under the vehicle. I want to make sure there isn't an issue with the bolts failing this early.

I went to the gas station to fill up my tank and once I was done. I had trouble closing my fuel filler door. Fuel filler door is now broken and won’t close at all.

Roof top shark fin antenna leaking water. First suspected the leak from high mount stop light, changed gasket for it. Water intrusion continued and ceiling higher than high mount brake light wet. Upon inspection of roof top antenna, white axidation found around the base of roof top antenna cabin/inside side.

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

When fully stopped, in drive, and applying constant pressure on the brake pedal, the brake pedal loses firmness and starts to move further forward. If the operator doesn't apply more pressure to the now moving pedal, the vehicle will start to roll forward. I was able to recreate this issue on several occasions.

•The heated seat amp connections melted under the front seats during use, it is available and a I have taken pictures. •The melting amp could have caused a fire, it did cause some smoke with a strong smell of burning plastic. •They are aware of this issue at the dealership but did not look at vehicle. •No they did not inspect it, stating this is a common issue. •No warnings or messages. First appeared 02/21

When the contact came back to the garage, he noticed that the vehicle was missing as it had reversed down the driveway inadvertently while the engine was off. However, the transmission gear shifter was on the drive position. The vehicle had crashed into two trees in the woods. No police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to a body shop and remained at the body shop, waiting for repairs to the front and rear passenger side doors, rear windshield, rear fender, and passenger side mirror. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

As vehicle was being shifted from reverse to drive the shift lever locked up in neutral ! ! !

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.

Airbags did Not deploy during car accident. This was the 2nd time, but 1st accident was minor because it was with a deer. The vehicle is available in the Towing company per police instruction. Driver had several bruises. Insurance companies are involved, have not hear anything about this specific situation. No warnings and all switches for airbags were ON

I have been having several intermittent issue with the automatic transmission on my 2017 Tacoma TRD off Road with 43000 miles. Among them are as follows: It fails to shift correctly (hunting for gears) on the highway and hesitates to accelerate when needed, Also the transmission sometimes has a delayed engagement when putting it into reverse or drive from a standstill. The engine will rev up like it was in neutral then abruptly catch the reverse gear causing a loud and disturbing “BANG” and even some tire spin on the pavement. I also intermittently experience a loud “CLUNK” when slowing down to a stop in traffic as if the transmission is not downshifting properly from the higher gears to the lower ones and is forced to come to an abrupt halt. The dealer has performed a software update but this has not helped. The dealer also cannot replicate these problems because the issues are intermittent. I understand that a lot of 3’rd generation Tacoma owners are experiencing the same exact issues but it seems that Toyota is not issuing a recall for some reason. I believe this is a potential safety hazard and should be addressed.

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.

THE TACH SHOWS THE ENGINE IS BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE WHICH IS ESPECIALLY EVIDENT WHEN IDLING, BUT ALSO NOTICIBLE WHILE IN MOTION. I BELIEVE MY TRUCK SHOULD HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED. THE ENGINE RPMS JUMP ALL OVER WHEN DRIVING, WHEN BACKING UP OR JUST ROLLING WITHOUT PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRUCK JUMPS & DROPS IN SPEED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME NOW. WE HAVE TRIED ADDING DETERGENTS & USING BETTER QUALITY GAS BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP.

LEFT TURN SIGNAL QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET MAKING A LEFT TURN. TOYOTA TOOK 4.5 HOURS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. SAID IT WAS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AFFECTING THE TURN SIGNAL AND ODOMETER. SAID IT WOULD TAKE A WEEK TO GET PART AND THEY NEEDED TO KNOW HOW MANY MILES I WOULD DRIVE IN THAT WEEK BECAUSE THE ODOMETER HAD TO BE SET TO EXISTING MILES PLUS THE MILES I DRIVE DURING THE WEEK. ONE WEEK LATER WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND IT WOULD BE 30 TO 60 DAYS FOR THE PART. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF "LEFT TURN SIGNAL GOING OUT" ON TOYOTA TACOMAS DATING AS FAR BACK AS 2012. OBVIOUSLY TOYOTA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM. HAVE THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM ON THE REPLACEMENT PART OR IS IT PRON TO GO OUT AGAIN. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO DRIVE FOR ONE OR TWO MONTHS WITHOUT A LEFT TURN SIGNAL, HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURED BECAUSE OF NOT HAVING A LEFT TURN SIGNAL, HOW MANY CITATIONS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR FAILURE TO USE TURN SIGNAL. HOW MANY VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT MILEAGE ON THE ODOMETER, MINE WONT UNLESS THEY CONTACT ME AND ASK HOW MANY MILES I HAVE DRIVEN PRIOR TO SHIPPING THE PART AS I WAS TOLD IT HAD TO BE SET AT THE FACTORY BEFORE SHIPPING. IN ADDITION THE DIAGNOSTIC COAST WAS $150.00 THE PART WILL BE $750.00 PLUS LABOR TO INSTALL. I FEED TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE KNOWN EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN TOLD THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL QUIT. I GOOGLED IT IN LESS THAT 5 MINUTES. SO FAR NO INVOICES TO SHARE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). ARLINGTON TOYOTA (10939 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225, (904) 302-9611) WAS CONTACTED AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE LEAK DETECTION PUMP SUB-ASSEMBLY, CHARCOAL CANISTER (PART # 90910-AF006) LOCATED ABOVE THE REAR AXLE WILL START "PUMPING" VERY LOUDLY EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN EXCESS OF 8 HOURS. CONTINUES FOR APPROX 10 MINUTES, THEN SHUTS OFF. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND ASKED WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND I WAS TOLD THAT "IT SEEMS UNUSUAL" AND THEN ASKED ME IF I PUMP GAS "BEYOND THE NORMAL CLICK TO STOP" - I SAID "NO", AND THAT I HADN'T GASSED UP IN OVER A WEEK. SO HE SAID TO JUST KEEP "AN EYE ON IT". DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE JUST HOW OFTEN THIS IS HAPPENING SINCE CLEARLY I'M NOT GOING TO BE IN THE GARAGE AT THE TIME THIS MAY BE OCCURRING. HAVING SAID THAT, A WEEK LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I'M AFRAID THAT THERE'S SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE AT PLAY HERE, BUT I GET THE FEELING THAT THE DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE SPORADIC NATURE OF THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY SNOW AT 50 MPH, THEY CRASHED INTO SEVERAL ELK IN THE ROAD. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY.

EVERY SO OFTEN I HEARD A BANG COMING FROM THE DRIVETRAIN WHILE I'M DRIVING AND ALSO WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK ON REVERSE THE SOUND IT'S LOUD. I DON'T KNOW IT'S A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR THE JOINTS WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL. BUT IT'S GETTING BAD. ALSO I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CHARGING SYSTEM AND IT WAS BROUGHT IN AND THE DAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM BUT FOR SOME REASON SOME TIMES LIGHTS WILL COME UP OUT OF THE BUE.

VEHICLE LOOSES TRACKTION WHEN MAKING TURNS ON A CURVE. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AND TIRES ARE STILL WITHIN LIFECYCLE. THE TIRES CURRENTLY ARE FROM ORIGINAL PURCHASE OF NEW TACOMA. ALSO, THE RECALL FOR PROBLEM WITH FUEL PROPULSION SYSTEM HAS BEEN ONGOING AND NO REMEDY HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE. THIS IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK.

CERTAIN TOYOTA'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO ADDMINE TO THAT LIST BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES HESITATES FROM A STOP POSITION TO A GO POSITION. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE RECALL HAS BEEN TO THE CARS AT HIGH SPEEDS, WELL MINE IS DIFFERENT, BUT DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, BUT WILL DIE AND PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR IS NESSECARY TO GET INTO FLOW OF TRAFFIC OR TO AVOID BEING HIT IN CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. PLEASE ADD MY TRUCK INTO THIS CATEGORY. THANKS

THE VEHICLE STALLS AT TIMES, AT OTHER TIMES THE VEHICLE LAUNCHES IN BOTH REVERSE AND FORWARD, AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING PARKWAY VEHICLE HESITATES. AT TIMES VEHICLE STATIONARY AND WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AND VEHICLE PUT IN DRIVE THE TRUCK LAUNCHES FORWARD, SAME WITH REVERSE. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MONTHS. NOW THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS ON. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL AND I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN MARCH 2020 WITH A LITTLE OVER 14,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER 2020

I TOOK MY TOYOTA (WHICH IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION) THROUGH A CAR WASH PARKED IT AT HOME DIRECTLY AFTER. WENT TO DRIVE IT 24 HOURS LATER AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS HAD HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE THAT I WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE BRAKE MYSELF BY MANUAL ROCKING OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE USE OF 1ST GEAR AND REVERSE. I JUST HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED FOR THE SECOND TIME AFTER ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK IT WITHOUT DEALERSHIP HELP. IT UNLOCKED SOMEWHAT VIA THE METHOD I HAVE USED BEFORE. IT IS NOW DRIVING LIKE THE BRAKE IS STILL TRYING TO ENGAGE EVEN THOUGH THE HANDBRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED.

IDLE SURGES . RPM SURGE WHILE AT PARK AND IT SURGES WHEN ABOUT TO DRIVE FROM THE PARKING
