    Other body problem

    "Had slide fender bender. It took 5 months to get all of the parts to repair the fender. I finally contacted Toyota and complained.

    "Almost from the start the steering, when negotiating shallow curves, and particularly left curves, would either over-steer or completely let go for one to two seconds, then fully recover. This did not happen with hard turns around corners. I discussed this with my dealership and they asserted that this was common with this model. Surprisingly, the problem seems to have vanished these past five months or so."

    Anonymous, PA (2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 2.4-L 4 Cyl turbo)

    "The electronic power steering stop working about four weeks after buying the vechile. This required the power steering rack to be replaced. I waited 7 weeks for the replacement unit to come in and be installed. After installation they found that unit would not connect to the trucks computer system. They then got a new rack in after some wait and found it didn't work after installation. A third rack was ordered and installed. It worked for a week when it failed and the power steering stopped working. After another visit to the dealership they finally got it working."
