Instead of saying what all is fixed, I’ll say what needs fixing.
The minor issues:
- horn not not going off when I press lock on key fob (lights still go off). It was working fine 2 days ago.
- lights not going off when I press unlock on key fob.
- very slow leak in LR winter tire (small stone in bead? Rust on steel wheel near bead?)
- creaking, & rattles, creaking, & rattles.
- brakes need cleaning (maybe brake pads?).
- needs an alignment (RF looks like it’s toeing out some looking at it head on, & keeps wanting to pull right).
The major issues:
- clutch is quite worn.
- reverse lights not working (good: bulbs, fuse, & switch. Problem still unknown).
- gate dividing 3rd|5th is wonky. Going 6-5 it wants to go 6-3. Going 4-5 it wants to go 4-3.
- front summer tires are shot (to be addressed in the spring).

Not bad, though admittedly a lot of minor inconveniences.
On my Taco, I’ve replaced some tires and oil, but zero anything else - even bulbs - over 95k miles.
But the dash rattled from day 1.

It’s almost too 100,000kms so I’m expecting more wear items to come up. I never had to replace burnt out bulbs, just upgrade them.

That’s quite a few things wrong with a car at just over 60,000 miles.

try holding lock and unlock buttons for a few seconds to get the lock/unlock horn back. Seriously if you were local to me I’d ask to bring it in so i could take a look at it.

Huh, some of those problems seem surprising to me for a car that is only at 100,00kms! I wouldn’t think you’d get electrical issues (reverse lights, lights with fob) yet...the rattles I can get. I live with a few in my Accent - not a big deal! :)
I had to get an alignment awhile back (my car is at 128,000kms) but I noticed the other day when I aired up my tires (which were admittedly low and I had not checked them in months) that both my fronts were feathering on the inside edges.....which COULD be from the fact they weren’t aired up properly, but is VERY odd as that is exactly where they were wearing down wrong before I got the alignment....

You should not fix the horn thing. Sounding the horn when the car locks is obnoxious, I’m glad my car just flashes its turn signals.

It 6-7 years old, & I have doubled the odometer in the 1.5 years I’ve owned it. So it has seen more use in the time I owned it then the 1st owner had in 4-5 years.
