    Hello. I am a new Tacoma owner and I am having a few issues with my truck.

    First one - Windshield whistling - Dealer resealed windshield

    Second one - Blower motor squealing on high - Dealer replaced motor

    Third One - Passenger door takes extra effort to close. I have taken this to the dealer twice now. The first time they just lubricated it and it did not fix the problem. The second time they said it was because the Cabs are so air tight and it might get better when the seals wear a bit. Really why does my driver side door close perfectly. Does anyone else have similar issues with the door?

    Are others having so many issues with thier Tacoma's

    The doors have really good seals on them. When my passanger and I close the doors at the same time, one door will not close all the way because of the air pressure 95% of the time.

    The door has problems closing by itself. I find the passenger does not get it fully closed about 4 out of 10 times

    It might be missaligned. But that is really all that I can think of.

    On mine, the drivers door is a little harder to close, I assume because it gets 90% more use than the passenger door and parts are more worn down. Funny that yours is the opposite.

    However, both of my doors close much easier when I open a window a bit, or the other door is open, due the the air-tightness of the cab.
