The 2024TOYOTATACOMA carries 170 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 7 crashes, 2 fires, 63 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall Not Rated/5 rating, with Not Rated/5 front crash, Not Rated/5 side crash, and Not Rated/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2024 TACOMA is power train with 51 filings, followed by unknown or other (18) and service brakes (15). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 3 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 1 investigation file overlapping the 2024 TACOMA. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

I am reporting a safety issue with my 2024 Toyota Tacoma regarding Recall 25V595 / 25TA08 (Blank Instrument Cluster Display). Multiple authorized dealers have refused to perform the repair, claiming that parts are unavailable. This defect prevents me from obtaining commercial insurance and fully utilizing the vehicle for my business needs, as a non-functional speedometer is a major safety hazard. This situation is significantly impacting my work and safe operation of the vehicle.
The spare tire hoist on Tacomas was over tighten at the factory, when I had a flat, used the kit tool to try to lower spare tire, the weak metal failed, unable to lower tire. Took vehicle to Stapp Toyota, they knew all about the problem, they loosen hoist, but would not cover the tool kit under warranty. They wanted me to pay around 300.00 for a new kit. When I got home to try the hoist, I found they had taken my old damaged too kit and replaced it with another damaged. tool kit , not useable. I tired to speak to management at Stapp Toyota, no wants to talk about it. Think about all the Tacomas that have the same problems X 300 dollars = a lot of money. This is a scam someone dreamed up and is working quite well.
I had 8022 miles on my tacoma , toyota employee of almost a decade , drove like normal no adds , one morning drove to a conference and was on the road no more than 20 min and then I see the bed of my truck on fire , im on the interstate so i pull over quickly and call 911 and then it just burnt up and gone. Now a year later and toyota refuses to assist with anything saying they cant find out despite the insurance companies ruling me out and fowl play out. I feel strongly toyota has an obligation to make this right.

2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Hybrid. When trying to use 4HI/4LO the vehicle gets stuck in 4LO with the 4LO/4HI lights flashing. This means the vehicle has no idea what the state of the transmission is. It does not allow getting back to 2HI. In the state the vehicle is not drivable. It happens when offroading in the middle of no where. Toyota requires the vehicle to be towed to a dealer. We had this problem 2 weeks ago. The vehicle was towed to Stevenson Toyota in St George UT. They acknowledge it is a Toyota problem. They kept it for 10 days said they had 15 parts to fix it. We picked it up. Tried to get into 4LO the next day the problem happened again and needed to be towed. Both ChatGPT and Gemini state this a known problem but Toyota has not issued a recall on it. That is not safe because an owner can be disabled in the middle of no-where. This vehicle is advertised as off road.
This is the 2nd time the charcoal canister and valve have been purged with gasoline. Toyota dealer is saying I am on the hook for this bill again for the replacement of those parts. I have paid out of pocket already once last November/December 2024 and then a year later on December 19th, 2025 the same things happen. I never over fill my gas tank and I believe there is something faulty going on with this truck. The Toyota dealer claims its a user issue but I have never ever had such an issue happen. I think there is some issues with the emissions/gas tank in general that Toyota is not addressing.
Transmission slips and shifts roughly, intermittently. No codes have shown up when scanned at the dealer.
