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.
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.
Occasionally when driving the speedometer does not show the accurate speed such as the speedometer show 0 when going 30mph. There is also a weird metal clanking noise which sounds like its coming from the transmission and sounds like its trying to shift gear while in reverse or drive. Also the air conditioning fan motor has cracked and when turned on sounds like a motorcycle reving it's engine.
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 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.
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.

My truck makes a loud thud sound when accelerating from a dead stop, slowing down to a dead stop, and slowing down fast from higher speeds from 70-25. This happens multiple times a day. I'm fearing for my life and am not in financial position to get another car. Please look into this quickly. Thank you
Heating A/C blower failure causing car to not to have ability to defog, heat or cool car. Blower failed with normal use. Dealership and other part carriers have huge back order due to nationwide shortage, no available repair for foreseeable future. Part failed upon driving vehicle on 80 F day at roadway speeds. Vehicle has 49000 miles. Toyota page notes improper part size for failure, no date on when new parts are available. Unable to find aftermarket parts. Toyota forum lists other users experience failure at 15000-50000 mile mark. See complaints here https://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2016-2017-Toyota-Tacoma-HVAC-blower-motor-ssc-J0N.1363/
My vehicle was stationary when out of no where I hear a grinding noise. Turns out its my ac fan. My truck is at 39000 miles and this is the second failure within a 1.5 years of buying it.
Air conditioner/heater blower wheel failure. No defroster, no air conditioning. In Arizona when its 111 degrees not having air conditioning is a real safety concern..
Vehicle was stationary and upon startup blower motor for air conditioning and heating system started rattling in glove box due to defective blower motor fan. Air does not blow at all. Windows therefore stay dogged in humid South Louisiana
2017 Toyota Tacoma ac blower motor broken at 17,000 miles. I can not run ac/heat/defoggers in 110 degree weather. Dealership told me part was on backorder with almost 1100 more with an eta of 75 + days.
Blower motor broke and not giving a proper ac circulation. It's a year old car it should have this problem even now when half the country under a heat wave. That causes health issues under 112 degree weather.
