2025 Toyota Tacoma problems

“Inner door handle broke under normal use and toyota cant replace this due to mass failures across the country in all 4th generation tacomas. Mass backorders. I have been driving for at least 2 months with no way to exit my vehicle in case of emergency.”

“The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH and accelerating and switching lanes, the vehicle failed to respond and maintained the desired speed. Additionally, the vehicle hesitated continuously. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V656000 (Power Train). The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under the recall, but the failure occurred. The dealer was contacted but was unable to duplicate the failure. The service advisor associated the failure with the recall. The manufacturer was contacted and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.”

“I am reporting a severe safety hazard on my 2025 Toyota Tacoma caused by incorrect alignment specs and an uncorrected extreme toe setting. On a recent service visit, alignment inspection showed a Total Toe of +1.62 degrees (OEM target is approximately +0.10 degrees). The alignment machine database loaded incorrect tolerance specs (+1.37 to +1.87 degrees displayed as acceptable green range), leading technicians to leave the extreme toe-in completely unadjusted. In less than 2,000 miles of normal driving since a prior inspection, both front tires suffered extreme, rapid toe wear down to the internal cord layer. Operating a vehicle with +1.62 degrees total toe causes severe lateral tire drag and creates an imminent threat of a catastrophic tire blowout at highway speeds, presenting a significant vehicle safety defect.”

“*Steering system - tie rod / steering nut lock was loose and discover after alignment service * Loose tie rod nut created a potential safety risk because it involves a steering component related to vehicle control. This could have put me, my passengers, and others drivers at risk if the condition had worsened while driving. *No, the condition has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. I noticed abnormal steering/handling, inspected the vehicle myself, and discovered a loose tie rod nut. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. *No the vehicle I available upon request *No”

“My 2025 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter consistently experiences a severe loss of engine power while driving in rainy conditions. During precipitation, the vehicle suddenly loses acceleration capability, sputters, and becomes highly unresponsive, creating an immediate highway hazard as it cannot maintain traffic speeds. I suspect water ingress through the high-mount air intake (snorkel) system or factory airbox is affecting the engine's airflow sensors or electrical connectors. This happens every time I drive in heavy rain. I have brought it to 2 dealerships immediately after this has happened and both times I was told to just keep driving it until im stranded on the roadside because that's what roadside assistance is for. One time I had a car full of kids and they still told me to drive it until im stranded. Both times they didn't even scan the truck to see what happened.”

“My father and I both purchased a 2025 Toyota Tacoma SR5 2WD double cab last year brand new from different dealerships, both were in FL. My father was driving his new Tacoma with adaptive cruise control engaged, this was on an interstate, and the vehicle in front of him moved to the left lane next to him and started braking and this caused his vehicle to start braking extremely hard with no vehicles in front of him (he was driving about 55mph when this happened). He said this has happened to him before. I was in the vehicle with him when this happened. When I was driving from his home in GA a few days later, back to my home in FL, I was on the interstate ([XXX]) with the adaptive cruise control engaged and the exact same thing happened with my truck. A semi truck in front of me moved into the lane to the right and started braking. This caused my vehicle to start braking extremely hard with no vehicles in front of me. Had a vehicle been behind me, this could have caused me to be rear-ended going about 70mph. The sudden automatic braking with NO vehicles in front of you is aggressive enough to cause a rear-end collision and possibly cause the driver to make a…”
