I own a 2025 Toyota Tacoma, and the interior driver’s door handle assembly has failed, preventing me from opening the driver’s door normally from inside the vehicle. The failure occurred at around 11000 miles during normal use without any accident, impact, or unusual force. The Tacoma had routine maintenance done at dealership at around 10682 miles. The handle became suddenly inoperable, leaving me unable to open the driver’s door from inside the cabin using the interior door handle. I must roll down the window and operate the exterior handle to exit through that door. This presents a potential safety hazard because, in an emergency such as a vehicle fire or collision, I may be unable to exit promptly through the driver’s door. The failure occurred suddenly without adequate warning. I contacted an authorized Toyota dealership, which determined that the handle sub-assembly needed replacement under warranty. However, the replacement part has been on backorder, and I have been informed that the estimated arrival date is December 7, 2026. This leaves me waiting months for a repair to a component that is essential to exiting the vehicle safely. I am concerned that this may represent a recurring defect affecting other Toyota Tacoma owners. I am requesting that NHTSA review reports of interior door handle failures in 2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma vehicles to determine whether a broader safety defect exists and whether further investigation is warranted.

My Toyota Tacoma door handle fails to open from the inside. My truck has around 13,000 miles on it and I’ve only opened that door maybe 100 times over the past year. Toyota claims it’s a wear issue but multiple posts have similar incidents with no damage to them. They just fail to work. If I had a medical emergency with my type 1 diabetes or an accident and couldn’t get out of the car it could be extremely dangerous.
