2016 Toyota Tacoma lights problems

Filed Dec 17, 2023 · Lights · CO

Just like with the other double cab Tacoma recalls I am hearing about, the third rear tail light is leaking water into my access cab. The interior smells like mildew. I’m not sure why my truck is not covered by the recall, but it is experiencing the exact same situation. Water leaking through the deteriorated seal of the break-light. I think with accompanying mold build up.

I bought the vehicle and realized when I was sold the vehicle the passenger airbag off indicator was on but I thought it would be a quick connection error. The front driver side headlight is very dim and does not illuminate well. I contacted crown dodge of fayetteville and they told me they can't do anything. This was a little over a month after because life happens and I work with the military. I don't have a regular schedule. I do have a warranty but I'm not using my warranty to cover something they should fix. When I called to talk to a sales manager no one would answer it rang and rang. The computer on the vehicle will show the air bag sensor at least.

When it rains water comes inside the cabin around brake light and soaks the seats. I noticed this when the truck is stationary. I think it's coming around the brake lights gasket the whole back if wet on the driver side looks like water is coming in from the brake light at the top of the headliner. I've also seen other views or reports on this incident

The cab mounted third brake light fixture is allowing a large amount of water to leak into the cab of the truck. The seats and carpet are getting soaked every time there is heavy rain. Eventually the light will fail and mold and mildew will result. This is a very expensive repair. Toyota does not take responsibility for what I think is a defective gasket in this fixture. I have reported the problem to toyota.

Interior leaking when it rains or whenever vehicle gets wet. A health hazard, safety concern, and potential risk to passengers as well. Cause of problem is defective 3rd brake light seal. Of course toyota make it almost impossible to easily replace the light or seal as you have to remove the interior ceiling to get to bolts. Sad I bought this vehicle new and it leaks water but since warranty just ended, they will not even think about fixing this issue. If a lawsuit results about of this count me in, hopefully a recall takes place soon because duct tape can only do so much plus who wants to drive around with duct tape on the 3rd brake light.
