The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that the headlight assembly was entirely melted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the headlight assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure approximate failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 62,000.
Burned and cracked daytime running lights. That was changed at 30,000 miles during warranty, the truck now have 63,000 miles. The same problem recur. Note: Every one with a Tacoma is having the same problem, but Toyota is avoiding the problem by saying sorry your vehicle is out of warranty. I made many calls to Toyota hotline, they took all my information and say we will get back to you, every time. I am very frustrated. Please help!
It seems that the Tacoma's that have a drl and turn signal all-in-one assembly are burning or melting the lens in front of the bulb. Mine currently has a yellowing lens are cracked and the plastic is burned in front of the bulb. The Tacoma forums are full of drivers with this problem. Obviously, this problem has been ongoing with no solution to repair. Toyota states there is no problem with this assembly, but will charge $1000+ for new headlight/turn signal assemblies for replacement. The current solution is to turn headlights on as this turns off the drl.
