Allow me to explain by starting with the following 2 facts: 1. the recommended action to take when it is cold outside and the windshield begins to fog up while driving is to turn on the defroster on high heat. 2. the 2014 Tacoma will not allow me to run the defroster with recirculated air, but rather forces me to use 'fresh' air when using the defroster. The 2 facts listed above make the truck unsafe to drive in cold or humid weather for following 2 reasons: 1. the fresh air (required while using the defroster) is not actually fresh, but rather smells like whatever air happens to be around the Tacoma at that time, which many times happens to be the exhaust of the vehicle in front of or near the truck. This dirty air, containing hazardous exhaust fumes not only smells bad, but cannot be good for your skin, lungs, and overall health. This situation is intensified to the point of coughing and gagging when there are diesel exhaust fumes or while idling at a red light near a lot of vehicles. 2. the only way to stop the dirty air from entering the cab of the truck through the defroster is to turn the defroster off and turn the air to another option (other than defrost) that allows recirculated air. This creates an extremely unsafe situation as now the windshield begins to fog up immediately, causing the inability to see the road clearly. So in cold or humid weather, you either cannot see the road or you have to breathe in poisonous fumes. With a 2014 Toyota Tacoma, you have to pick your 'poison' if you want to drive in the cold.

When I turn on my A/C it comes through the defogger on the dash fogging up the windshield in certain conditions and can happen while moving occluding drivers vision no matter where I have the vent setting. Ie I turn on the A/C and turn it to floor...air still comes through the defroster vent on top of the dash. This also happens with the heat fogging up the windshield in certain conditions.

The side view mirrors fog over, I cleaned them off with a towel before I start off to work. If the weather conditions change and creates either a fog bank or a condensation condition(s) it blocks the use of the side mirrors. Older Toyota trucks did not have this problem due to the mirrors had no bezel around them and the air flow over the top created a low pressure zone and evaporated the moisture. This style of mirror (on the 2014 Tacoma) does not allow that condition to happen. Toyota does not provide heated mirrors for this vehicle. Their 2000 4runner does, (my wife owns one and it solves the above stated problem). This is lack of visibility for the use of the side mirrors, please look into to this. I have complained to the dealer and company, their response is they don't off heated side view mirrors on the Tacoma thanks
