"my problem is on-going regarding blind-spots/poor visibility due to oversized side view mirrors. i have spoken to my toyota dealer parts dept, the saleman, the head of the service department, toyota manufacturing's customer service department; non of them are able to help me. they referred me to you. the over-sized side mirrors & housing cause very serious blind spots looking to either the driver's side or passenger side, blocking visibility over the front fenders when making a right or left turn. i have become very proactive if i am entering into an intersection to be aware if there is a vehicle or person in the intersection before i get there. otherwise i do not see them if they are alreadyin the blind spot numerous times i have almost hit someone, children, or a car when turning because of this. only luck and the other person's awareness that i did not hit them. unfortunately, no matter how proactively aware i am of my surroundings, if a vehicle or person has already entered into the blind spot or dead zone it does not matter i will not see them. it happened again just recently. toyota says they have no options for replacing the mirrors with a smaller version. i have put a cushion on my seat to raise me, but that is of little help. i need a smaller profiled mirror. too me the need for such an over sized mirror and housing is unnecessary for everyday driving. it is a liability. it is just a matter of time before something happens. i do not want to have get rid of the truck, but i do not want to hurt someone. i am very concerned. i have seen internet postings of others having the same issue. the salesman said he is aware of this being an issue for some people with the prius. please give a call with suggestions and help. thank you very much, jackie"

"recall hood scoop"

"unintended acceleration."

"toyota's emission part failure at 7,800 miles. truck threw a code p2440 and p2442 which affects the secondary air injection system. after doing some research, it appears that the pump and or valves are prone to failure under 60k miles. toyota has been aware of this issue and has been prone to failure in their tundra models prior to putting them in 2012+ tacoma models. parts are around $800-$1,000 and dealer quotes are around $1,800-$2k to fix. these parts should not be failing at such low mileage and luckily was under the 3year/36k warranty."

"while driving at 65 mph i heard a loud screeching sound which startled me causing me to almost lose control. a cross wind along with bad door seals caused this problem. the internet documents this problem well if you search 2015 tacoma wind noise. please see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbt7dasthpm the sound is very loud."

"doors do not automatically lock when truck begins to move. small children are transported in this vehicle and i feel that this is an unsafe condition."
