2005 Toyota 4x4 tacoma sport ext cab review from North America
"Totally unsatisfied!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window regulator fell out due to poor welds.
This truck is without doubt the noisiest vehicle I have ever owned. This noise is wind noise around mainly the driver door. Not nearly as bad on the passenger side. The dealer says it is a engineering defect and there is nothing they can do about it. They refuse to make any effort to even improve the problem as the factory says they are aware of this "engineering defect" and do not have a solution. They continue to build the 2006 models with the same condition. Toyota is sure dropping the ball on this situation. I bought this truck with full confidence in the vehicle and the company. Sorry customer, you are without any way of having this problem remedied.
General comments?
I traded a great 1999 Tacoma that I honestly wish I still had, with over 100,000 miles. It is so bad, I hate to get in and drive this truck. What a shame.
