#7568 of 7580 Major Toyota recall affects 2005-2010 Tacomas by bigandy Sep 29, 2009 (1:20 pm)
Apparently there is a major recall of multiple Toyota models regarding floor mats on the driver's side that can interfere with the accelerator and cause a crash. It includes the 2005-2010 Tacoma and 2007-2010 Toyota Tundra. Now ya know!
#7569 of 7580 paint on plastic base of hood scoop fading by tacomaguy Oct 06, 2009 (2:58 pm)
I have the bright red paint on my '05 Prerunner pickup. The base of the hood scoop and the two door handles have all faded to almost a pink color. (I have to park it outside.) Dose anyone else have this problem and is there any recourse now? I bought it new in May of 2005 and it only has 29K miles on it. The dealer's body shop wants $300.00+ to paint those three items.

Replying to: leob1 (Feb 26, 2005 5:06 pm) Did you ever resolve the leak issue in your truck? I also own an '05 Tacoma and experience the same leak problem. I can see no evidence of it leaking from the firewall or dashboard as the carpet appears to be dry in the upper areas. The underneath of the dashboard is also dry. I am suspicious that this is coming in on the side somewhere. We are experiencing a very heavy rain--close to 6 inches over the past 12 hours. The passenger side is dry as a bone. The truck was sitting in a parking lot all day. I discovered the problem when I went out to drive the truck home.
#7571 of 7580 2006 TACOMA BED VS ICE-SNOW by greasyface Oct 15, 2009 (11:20 am)
I PURCHASED MY TRUCK THINKING IT HAD A BED LINER INSTALLED IN IT. WHEN THE WINTER SNOWS CAME I SHOVELED SNOW INTO THE BED FOR ADDED TRACTION AS I HAVE DONE INTERMITTENLY FOR YEARS WITH MY OTHER PICKUPS. TO MY SUPRIZE WHEN I WENT OUT THE NEXT MORNING MY TRUCK APPEARED TO HAVE A DUMP BED INSTALLED ON IT. THE BED WAS RAISED ABOUT TWO INCHES IN THE FRONT FROM WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY POSITIONED. I HURRIEDLY SHOVELED SNOW FROM THE BACK OF THE BED TO THE FRONT AND THE BED DROPPED BACK DOWN EVENTUALLY. I LOOKED AT THE BED AND DISCOVERED IT WAS MADE OF PLASTIC EXCEPT FOR THE BODY PANELS.- BAD DESIGN- F.Y.I JUST CURIOUS IF ANYBODY HAS HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE.
#7572 of 7580 2006 TACOMA ENGINE OIL LEVEL by greasyface Oct 15, 2009 (11:46 am)
MY TRUCK HAS A 2.7 FOUR CYLINDER IN IT. AFTER I BOUGHT IT I CHANGED OIL IN IT AND TOOK OFF DOWN THE ROAD TO DISCOVER THAT IT LOST ITS PEP SO TO SPEAK SO I CAME HOME AND CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AGAIN. THE OIL READING WAS EXACTLY ON THE FULL MARK WITH THE TRUCK PERFECTLY LEVEL ON LEVEL GROUND AND I HAD INSTALLED THE CORRECT TYPE OF OIL AND FILTER. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRAIN OUT SOME OIL UNTIL THE STICK SHOWED HALFWAY BETWEEN THE ADD AND FULL MARKS AND I REGAINED MY PEP AGAIN. I AM NOW ONLY PUTTING FIVE QUARTS WITH FILTER IN MY MOTOR AT CHANGES BUT NOT USING THE FULL MARK ANYMORE . F.Y.I JUST CURIOUS IF ANYBODY HAS HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE.
#7573 of 7580 90K Service by ccovey1 Nov 07, 2009 (11:15 am)
Taco owners,   My 2005 A/C (4x4) is due for the 90,000 service. I just called dealer. Over $1,000! Does anyone have good advice on how to handle this? I'm ok with changing my own oil, but timing belt, spark plugs the the transmission/coolant systems scare me some.   Thanks
#7574 of 7580 2005 Tacoma Driveline growl by steve8142 Nov 08, 2009 (1:18 pm)
My '05 Tacoma 4X4 has 58k miles and recently started making a growl or loud humming noise from somewhere in the driveline. It begins at around 30mph and gets louder as you drive faster. The dealer changed the rear diff., but the that didn't correct the problem. This truck has always been noisy (excessive wind & road noise) so it's very hard to determine where the growl is coming from. Also, now the dealer says they have no idea what the cause is and don't want the truck back to try to fix it. Has anyone had a similar problem? The dealer doesn't think it's a wheel bearing.

Replying to: steve8142 (Nov 08, 2009 1:18 pm) Steve: There is TSB on this condition. Go to the NHTSA web site and type in your trucks info then look under the TSB section or ask your Toyota dealer about the Technical service bulletin Replies to this message: steve8142 (Nov 09, 2009 2:59 pm)
#7576 of 7580 Re: 2005 Tacoma Driveline growl [hackattack5] by steve8142 Nov 09, 2009 (2:59 pm)
Replying to: hackattack5 (Nov 09, 2009 2:40 pm) Thanks, but I could only find the tsb referring to the differential. My dealership already replace that & it didn't help at all. Was there a different tsb out there?
