Owner Complaints (8)
Water leaked into your rear passenger cabin through defective rear vent assemblies with faulty seals. The dealer estimates $15,153 to fix it because they need to remove your truck bed and replace all carpeting due to suspected mold damage, though you've requested just the vents be replaced instead. Toyota hasn't issued any warnings about this water intrusion issue or provided inspection guidance in the owner's manual. Fixing just the two vents requires removing the truck bed, which makes the repair labor-intensive and costly.

Water leaks into your cabin through the rear pressure vent during rain, making the vehicle unsafe to drive in wet conditions. You took it to the dealer but the warranty claim was denied because Toyota considers this a trim issue rather than a defect. Water intrusion into the cabin could pose safety and health risks if this problem affects other drivers with the same vehicle.

Your truck's rear cabin pressure vent seals have deteriorated, allowing rainwater to leak into the back of your cabin. You may notice a mildew odor and potential mold growth inside the vehicle.

Your 2019 Tacoma's paint is chipping and peeling off in multiple areas across the body panels, exposing the primer and metal underneath. While Toyota has acknowledged this issue in some repair programs, your truck's affected areas may not be covered. Over time, exposed metal can rust and corrode, potentially affecting the truck's appearance and structural integrity. The repair will likely involve stripping the affected paint and repainting those body panels.

Two of my three 2019 Tacoma’s drivers side door hinges broke clean off the door frame.
Paint is starting to come off in different areas of the truck, left front fender and right front area of the bed. Toyota dealer inspected the truck and checked for recalls which Toyota has on earlier white vehicles but stated this vehicle was not in the year or vin range of affected vehicles. I have checked online and multiple owners of white Toyota Tacomas are having the same issue and appears to be trucks built at their Mexico plant.
Toyota has a campaign to address white paint flaking/chipping on numerous vehicles, with the exception of Tacomas. My truck is a 2019 with 34k miles and the paint is chipping and flaking off. This is a known problem with this paint, so I am not sure why they don't address it with Tacomas. I would like Toyota to take care of this for me. It is not fair for me to pay out of pocket to address a defect in their paint.
