About 70,000 miles, bearings on the idler pulley and tensioner on serpentine belt failed. These have been replaced. About 75,000 miles, the rack and pinion began leaking from one end. I'm watching power steering fluid levels and expect to replace the rack and pinion soon. Note: I'm being told the design of this vehicle requires that the engine be partially pulled to replace the rack and pinion.
Hello, my name is Andrew I have a 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport 4WD. I have roughly 78,000 miles on my truck as it is still fairly new and has never been in a wreck. I have so rattling noises coming from my front end, and I have taken it to Toyota and other shops to figure out if something was loose, and the response is my steering is about to go out, at first, I am like what its still a new truck never seen the dirt and never has pulled a camper or trailer in its life. So my question is why is my Steering Rack, and or the Rack and Pinion going out so early on a truck that is treated like a child? I haven't had insurance involved because I am hoping this is a defect and it can be fixed or resolved as it is a part that should be replaced in its safety. I just had a recall on my 3rd brake, that doesn't concern me as much as this. Knocking, and grinding when turning going forward, and in reverse. I at first thought it was my lower control arms, and they are saying steering and the truck is not even 3 years old. Please help me and others get this issue resolved as the part is going out sooner than i would think a new truck steering component should.
The power steering fluid, when cold, is below the -??low-?? line. Upon looking at the steering boots I noticed that both have fluid on them indicating a leak. I have searched Toyota Tacoma forums online and the 2019 Tacoma seems to be the only one with this problem. If the power steering all of a sudden stops working due to fluid leaking I put myself and all of those around me in and outside of my truck at risk of injury or death especially at highway speeds. Thank you very much for looking into this.
During a repair for a tire pressure warning light the service technician noticed that my steering rack was leaking and needed to be replaced. My vehicle has 34,651 miles on it. Repair cost $1700.
Recalled fuel pump with no remedy- constant vibration from 20-40mph - automatically braking from shadows- automatically redlines when cold driving - various trim melting from the sun - power steering fluid disappearing told them at every service since new - again on March 25 was told truck was good - then on March 26 they tell me they are replacing an entire steering rack. Rear brake drums are loud and clumsy feeling - rear end whine - mpg 17 at the best- stalls shifting from D > R < D. this truck is a death trap. It is sitting at the dealership waiting for a fuel pump recall remedy. The auto braking and automatic acceleration has almost killed me and most likely would have a less experienced driver. Toyota of nashia nh have given me no updates. They have locked me into this lease without paying thousands to get out of it. The date of occurrence I put is a random date as all of these issues have been happening since ieased the vehicle brand new. Toyota of nashua of course can never replicate any problems. I need help asap getting away from this truck and I cannot get any help. I am 100 percent disabled veteran and needed a reliable vehicle not a death trap. Help me please.
