Owner Complaints (5)
Your power steering system stopped working properly while driving, making it much harder to steer your Tacoma. A mechanic found that the rack and pinion — the component that converts steering wheel movement into tire movement — had failed. Replacing the rack and pinion assembly will be needed to restore normal steering function.

VEHICLE SURGES WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED, ALSO IS HESITANT TO SHIFT GEARS ON HIGHWAY. FRUSTRATING AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE EFFICIENTLY WHEN YOUR CAR DOES NOT SHIFT AS EXPECTED. TIRING TO DRIVE IN THIS WAY.
VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 10-30MPH AND BRAKING BETWEEN 10-30MPH. THIS IS A NEW 2018 TACOMA ACCESS CAB WITH ONLY 4000 MILES. TSB 0171 AND 0023 ADDRESS THE SAME PROBLEM????
HAVE NOT PAID ONE LONTH YET AND IT HAS 2000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING ON ROUGH OR SENI ROUGH ROAD THERE IS A NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION LIKE A RATTLE OF A CAN OR LOOS METAL PLATE. BROUGHT IT FOR WARRANTY CHECK AND THEY SAID IT IS THE BRAKE PADS BUT THIS NOISE KEEPS ON EVEN WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED.
