Horn stopped working a couple of years ago. My research showed it was same problem with 2010 tacoma's,and they were recalled! Read there was a recall to replace a defective spiral cable in steering wheel. Called toyota was told to take to dealer, but would have to pay,and maybe be reimbursed. Don't have the money been unemployed for 4 years.
2012 Toyota Tacoma electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Secondary air injection valve stuck open causing limp mode. Happened near very dangerous intersection and lost all power in truck. As others have stated, truck only has 50k miles and required a $500+ repair (part only) for a component of the emission system which is only used on startup and includes a warranty of only 2 years.
Engine/all power is lost when engine has reached a certain RPM. Code reader states "crankshaft position sensor "a" circuit malfunction".
Secondary air injection valve stuck codes p2440,p2442. Truck goes into limp mode and you can only go a max of 40 MPH.toyota knows about these issues and does nothing about it
When I was leaving work the other night my 2012 tacoma went into limp mode and presented the cel and trac off lights on the dash. After reviewing the many blogs on the subject and taking the vehicle to the mechanics, I have found out that the secondary air valve is likely stuck in the open position. The mechanic has quoted me a price of $1,142 ($780 for the part) to replace the whole system (valve not sold separately). I understand that this is a common problem with tundras/sequoias and 2012 tacos. However, only the tundras are under any type of warranty. I bought a tacoma because the last two toyota's have run 300k miles + with regular maintenance. This type of expensive repair due to poor engineering is ludicrous and should be a warranty issue. I guess toyota wants to be terrible like everyone else. Great.
The secondary air injection systems seems to fail quite frequently on these 2012 tacomas with little to no help from toyota to take care of this issue as a recall. These are known to fail right after your out of warranty and to charge it's loyal customers over $1000 for a part that should not fail or a part that should be covered is absurd. I have been a loyal toyota customer my whole life but the issues of the tacoma are making me rethink my decisions as an automotive consumer
Fuel system can be heard hours after the truck is parked, few times a week and sometimes daily .and runs 2 to 15 minutes. Contacted dealer and says it normal for fuel evap to do a system check. Ongoing started before 3000 miles
Dealer has determined that rodents are thru the wiring for the knock sensor. Cel & trac lights came on. Engine went into limp mode. Has been at the dealer now for one week. Probably be another week before I get it back.
Driving my toyota tacoma, I was approaching a steep decline. I tapped on the brakes and continued driving at approximately 27 MPH when I down shifted to accommodate for the snowy road. As I was down shifting the truck lost control and slid sideways causing the front passenger side to hit a snow bank. Once the truck struck the snow bank it flipped over on its driver side. The side air bags on both sides came out but did not inflate. The driver side bags were torn. I found evidence of this with shredded pieces of the air bag found in the vehicle. Additionally the driver side front air bags never deployed..updated 03-02/15 *bf.....updated 03-11-15 *bf updated 9/22/2017
