Drivers side seat heater stopped working. I researched online and found this to be a common issue and was probably due to a burnt up connection at seat heater amp located under the driver seat. I contacted my dealer and told them there is a visibly burnt connection but was advised that since I was 600 miles past warranty, there was nothing they could do. I called toyota USA and got a case number and was again told there was nothing they could do.with all the images of burnt connectors this seems to be a fire hazard.

Two major issues on my truck: 1) the front driver side suspension has been squeaking whether the vehicle is in motion or not. 2) the radio unit reboots itself randomly and multiple times during a short drive rendering the backup camera useless.

The drivers side heated seat connector and heater amp burned up and shorted out. This connector is located under the seat. I feel this is a fire hazard to say the least. I went on the internet and this seems to be a common problem. I called toyota USA they said to take it to the dealer to get it fixed but it is not covered under a warranty. One day last week the heated seat stopped working and there was a slight odor of burning plastic.

Purchased truck july 24, 2017 from mark miller toyota in salt lake city, utah. In the first 6 months I lost brakes 3 times. Went to dealer each time. They couldn't duplicate so no repairs made. After the 3 times a recall came out, 18v888. Exact symptoms. Then a forth time happened and they said the recall doesn't effect my VIN so they still have to duplicate. Today, february 27, 2019 truck wouldn't stop and I ran thru a stop sign, and it was cont on my dash cam. With this problem my seats are loose and sometimes don't lock. When ever in 4 wheel drive the seat belts lock up and wont unlock lock. I've had nothing but issues with this truck and nothing will ever get fixed and I'm scared to drive my vehicle especially when my dealer won't repair anything. Also believe it has something to do with the vehicles off-road option, crawl control, which uses ABS.

Blower motor (squirrel cage) separated from blower motor output shaft while vehicle was running and stopped. Began making loud rattling noise. Can see crack in squirrel cage though cabin air filter access point in back of glove box. No effective operation of AC, heat, or front windshield defrost. O'brien toyota dealership in indianapolis indiana declined request to cover under goodwill warranty because it is 20,000 miles over mileage limit, despite being a part failure that puts safe vehicle operation at risk.

I have a 2017 toyota tacoma with 53000 miles on it. The squirrel cage on the AC blower motor broke today during a 100 degree day. From what I can see on line there is a back order on the replacement part. The plastic female port for the shaft cracked in half and not the cage makes a horrendous noise. Poor design: metal shaft spinning inside plastic is a recipe for a stress crack which is what this appears to be. My truck is out of warranty so now I am stuck paying for the repair!!

The speedometer would get stuck and not display an increase or decrease in speed while driving. Or it would display an increase in speed up to 60 MPH and then treat 60 as 0. Ex. I was going 45 but it read that I was going 95. Or sometimes, it would just increase all the way to 120 MPH and then stop. Turning the vehicle off and then back on did not make a difference. The gauge would still read where it was when the car was turned off. I was never sure of the speed I was going and brought the vehicle into the dealer within a month of the occurrence. The truck was only 10 months old. The vehicle has been at the dealership for 2 months. They are waiting on toyota to create & ship a new speedometer because toyota identified that the speedometers in some of their make/models were faulty.
