2024 new 4th-generation Tacoma Hybrid Limited. During driving in snow or rain, the front chrome grille or another component in the front, appears to collect water. Periodically, it releases a sudden burst of water or snow onto both sides of the windshield. The impact is abrupt, like having a snowball or large splash of water thrown at the glass, and is startling because it’s unexpected. This happens on both the driver and passenger sides, (but not at the same time) temporarily impairing visibility and potentially increasing the risk of an accident. Note: This occurs every time it snows or rains.

On July 25th 2025 the rear brake hose recall repair was performed on a 2024 Toyota Tacoma by an authorized Toyota dealership at Jim Norton Toyota OKC. Approximately one week later, the passenger side rear brake hose began leaking a significant amount of brake fluid. This triggered the brake warning light and a “Loss of Braking Power” message on the dashboard. The brake pedal became soft, and stopping distance increased noticeably, creating a serious risk to driver and public safety. The vehicle was unsafe to operate and was towed to a dealership. The issue was confirmed by the dealer’s service department and repaired. The incident occurred without any prior warning lamps, messages, or symptoms. The problem appears directly related to the recent recall repair, either from improper installation or premature failure of the replacement part.

Since day one vibration and pulsing 30-45MPH. Dealer confirmed vibration and said it common with my vehicle and nothing can be done. Returned to dealer same issue confirmed by tech and service manager and they charged $75 for tire balance at 5,000 miles. Returned next day and drove another identical model and 3 lesser versions of Tacoma’s. They claim they have no fix and suggested I trade it in for a Tundra and take a $10,000 deductions from my sticker price. Now when I stop slowly theres a thump and surge in the drive train like s load shifted in the bed. And intermittently when going from a dead stop the engine rev’s nothing happens for a second and it clunks into gear and shifts harshly. Again claim there’s nothing they can do.

Checked by HTN AUTO SHOP at 800 N Western Ave, Oklahoma City, OK-73106. Shop owner said it could be a problem sooner or later since the car is operated under dirt road a lot and recommand me not driving it very often. However i drives a lot, to go to other states and also to many off roads. Average drivers drive 12k miles a year. I bought this truck [XXX], today is 8/8/2025 and have already put on over 18k miles which would translate to about 27000 miles a year, i drives 2.5 times more than others and i need my vehicle to be safe as i drive my wife and my [XXX] baby. Toyota manufacture kept saying me they wont pay directly to the rental because there is no loaner with the vin, they said just go and rent and send them a bill later and they will review for reimburse. I spoke with Fowler toyota rental and service manager they said the recall for my car wont be avaiable till October- that is another 2 months from now. The dealership do aware this is safety recall and i should get a rental but im not comtable with Toyota may review and 2 months later rejected my rental bill for reimburse. Toyota Corporate kept telling me they have to review later. First call with them on 08/07/2025- the lady told me that Toyota will definitely review and pay for the reimbursement, i just need to go rent and pay for them myself first then reimburst later. I told her i cant do that i need Toyota to pay directly and she said there was nothing she can do. Then i went to Fowler Toyota TRAC department (rent a toyota) at dealership and told the dealership i want to leave my truck there till recall is done and i need a rental. Fowler toyota manager said i need to try to contact TOYOTA corporate again and try to have them pay directly to the dealership for the rental so i called Toyota corporate again while i was waiting at the dealership and again they refused said i need to pay upfront first and they will review for reimburse later. This time they said they "may" reimburest me later INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATI
