My 08 toyota tacoma drl (daylight running light/turn signal) lens burned/melted/cracked the lens but the bulb is still working so chances are it could catch on fire. I have exceeded my warranty but I feel toyota should stand behind their product and replace my light lens. Light lens should never burn/melt/break regardless of how old or how many miles the vehicle has on it. Not all tacoma's have drl , this is a safety option, not so safe. I contacted toyota and was told toyota would not stand behind their product because I had exceeded my warranty. Nice customer service.

My daytime running lights are too hot and melting the housing plastic. Driver side now has a crack from the extreme heat of the stock bulb. Very poor design by the manufacturer. Possible fire hazard. Please recall my vehicle!!!!!!!
I purchased a 2008 toyota tacoma pickup brand new in 10/2008. I have had trouble with the headlights staying on high beam. The toyota dealership has changed the switch, changed the ECM, and multiple other things. My vehicle is in the shop again for the 5th time in 32 months. I have taken it to two different dealers. It has been in the shop this time for 6 days as of today. They cannot determine the problem. On every occasion, I have left with the vehicle repaired and then it happens again. The vehicle is unsafe to drive because you never know when the lights will go on highbeam or go out completely.

Fuel filler neck flap broke off and fell into the tank.gas mileage is terrible. Left turn signal stayed on and air conditioner was working intermittently. Took vehicle to champion toyota on 10-15-09. Dealership stated that flap inside tank is normal... They repaired turn signal and stated that this could have caused the A/C to not work properly. Dealership stated that wires were burnt together causing the turn signal to stay on. Received vehicle back on 10-20-09. Also, I had taken the vehicle to dealership a few months prior to the 10-15-09 incident concerning A/C not working, they said they corrected problem. Also, tailgate has bowed after moving a light dryer. Dealer states that tailgate is not rated.
