On Tuesday, my 45,618 mile 2007 MY Tacoma suffered its first failure when I brought it in for the frame rust recall. Toyota deemed my truck unsafe due to frame perforations. It will be getting a replacement frame and will be out of commission for at least the next 2 months.

 

Wheel bearings front 950.00 dollars. Ouch at around 105,000

 

My 1st failure was the blower motor resistor at about 125K miles. My 1st (and only) mechanical failure was front u-joint at about 140K. The truck is pretty idiot proof.

 

Front wheel bearing at 45000.

 

Clutch groans like a beeeeyotch. Started at 6K miles.

Going to try the quarter turn trick, and maybe some lubricant. Kind'a pisses me off to have a brand new truck squeaking and groaning like that. Makes me wonder where their quality control has gone.

 

My factory radio failed in the first 30 days (it was a known issue and fixed). I then had a leak when t rained and they have never found it or replicated it (Mother Nature seems to replicate it with no problem) and then the blower motor resistor went at 30k.

 

Hey man, if u have a '14 and u have the squeak take it to the dealer. This tsb fixes it all. I didnt have to push my dealer for it i told them the issue they diagnosed it, agreed and went ahead and ordered the parts. Here's some info on it from my invoice

 

Unfortunately, over the years there have been a couple different issues with the 6 speed.

 

Nothing in 55k on my 2011 second gen. Haven't gotten much time on my 2004 double cab yet and it only has 75k miles on it. No doubt the build quality of the first gens is quite a bit better I can already tell. Sucks Toyota is falling to quality control issues more and more each year. They were top notch in the 80s through the early 2000s but have started going downhill. They will probably be the new GM in 10 years I got a feeling.

 

First failure for me was my promise to myself that I wouldn't mod the truck very much...

 

Wheel bearing at 60K miles

 

I got my taco with 98K and a squeaky throw out bearing....

at 105K passenger side rear door (AC) stopped opening.

 

The factory tires

 

Heated mirrors: Fail

 

OEM battery at about 22k miles.

 

Bad seal on a taillight, right off the showroom floor.

 

Catalytic converter at 22k.
