Misaligned door??????

Drivers door 2018 double cab trd.
Truck only has 4500 miles and now this??? It makes an audible grinding sound?? Even chipped the paint on the door edge. Will this be taken care of at the dealer? Seems like the door is out of square with the cab or something?

 

Take it in and have them fix it.

 

Will they just try to put touch up paint or should insist they actually repaint the parts that are bad?

 

It’s your truck, demand they make it like it new. Longer you wait the more damage it will cause.

 

The first thing they'll do is try to make sure the door fits properly, then they'll do touch up paint since it's such a minor chip, not really complete re-paint worthy

 

Looks like they need to adjust the door or fender to open that gap up a little

 

wouldnt surprise me if this truck has been repairs before. Shit happens to Brand new vehicles too

 

Someone backed into it as it came off the truck

 

That sucks. Take it to the dealer and they will fix it.

 

Did they fix it? Update when able pls.

 

I am curious about what the dealer did to fix this. Everyone knows that body panels on these trucks will be misaligned some but when its wearing away paint that's too far. I am going through a similar much minor issue with my passenger taillight damaging the paint due to a gap issue.

 

mine was same way only passenger side and my tail gate was laying on bumper when opened no quality control anymore regardless what brand auto you own have a friend he paid 70000 on a suburban rear door would not open took to dealer there was no parts installed in side the door to operate the handles

 

Service advisor told me he's seen a lot of issues with these new tacomas that the vinyl stickers on top of the doors didnt even align on many of them. I don't think you're alone. Damn shame!

 

This happened to both of my passenger doors. The front and rear doors were both hitting on the body. The first service guy even said that was normal. I had to speak to the service manager to get it taken care of. It’s all good now. I had them do the TSB updates while it was there.

 

Are you the original owner? Is it possible that it may have been in an accident?

 

That second and third picture definitely warrants a trip to the dealer! Don't take no for an answer!

 

Compare the gap at the back of the door with the passenger side.
Look at your divers side fender gap with the hood. Vs Passenger side.
Look at the front of the vehicle to make sure someone didn't "nudge" your truck.
