The factory Heads Up Display (HUD) on my 2024 Toyota Tacoma Limited (VIN: [XXX] ) intermittently resets its motorized vertical position to the fully raised/home position, most often triggered when unlocking the vehicle and opening the driver door. The HUD panel actuates upward without input, partially removing projected speed, navigation, and driver-assist data from the driver's sightline. The component is available for inspection. Safety risk: The displacement is unpredictable and intermittent. A driver relying on the HUD for speed or warning information may not notice the shift until already in motion, creating a distraction hazard. Dealer confirmation: Three visits to Envision Toyota of [XXX] . RO #XXX (11/30/2024, 2,259 mi) — FTS contacted, could not duplicate, no TSB found, no repair. RO #XXX (03/03/2026, 15,039 mi) — noted as 3rd visit for same concern. Toyota Technical Assistance Center contacted; TAC Case #XXX opened.

Vehicle Information Vehicle: 2024 Toyota Tacoma VIN: [XXX] ate: January 26, 2025 Repair Completed: October 1, 2025 Safety Complaint Description Beginning on or about February 5, 2025, my 2024 Toyota Tacoma developed a serious braking-related safety issue that substantially affected the safe operation of the vehicle. When I brought the vehicle to the dealership, I reported braking concerns and was advised by dealership personnel that the vehicle may not be safe to drive due to concerns that the rear brakes might not function properly under certain conditions. I was specifically told by dealership staff that they would not recommend driving the vehicle due to safety risks. Despite this warning, I was forced to continue operating the vehicle because no repair remedy was available at that time and no equivalent loaner vehicle or safe alternative transportation was provided. Over the course of several months, I repeatedly contacted the dealership regarding the issue. Each time, I was told that no repair remedy was available and that nothing could be done until Toyota released a repair solution. I was also advised that my only option was to leave the vehicle at the dealership indefinitely, which was not practical because the vehicle was my only means of transportation. As a result, I was forced to continue driving a vehicle that had been identified as unsafe. The defect remained unresolved for approximately eight months. During this time, I experienced significant safety concerns and loss of reliable vehicle use. Because of the prolonged delay in repair and lack of alternative transportation, I was ultimately forced to purchase another vehicle in order to maintain necessary transportation. The braking-related condition was not permanently corrected until approximately October 1, 2025. This situation created significant safety concerns because I was forced to operate a vehicle that dealership personnel advised may not be safe to drive, yet INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

After having Toyota Tacoma rear brake hose recall performed at Steven Toyota Harrisonburg Va I have very poor braking! This is a huge safety concern for my family and myself. Toyota is not taking this matter seriously. I was told “bring it in and let the tech have another wack at it”. No get a master tech on this problem immediately! I had reservations about having this recall performed by Toyota because in Toyotas pursuit to fix a problem they always make it worse. This has been our family’s experience over the course of many years. I have reported this issues to Toyota corporate and they are oblivious to our families safety concerns. They are more concerned about their protocol.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver’s seat became inoperable. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the driver’s seat hydraulic function failed to operate properly, causing the contact to adjust the seat several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the failure could be due to an inadvertent engagement of the lever on the driver’s seat. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,645.

What component failed?
 The rear brake system (rotors and pads) and the components associated with Safety Recall 25TA04 (rear brake hoses). The parts are available for inspection. * How was safety put at risk? 
The dealer (Island Toyota, St. Croix) labeled my 2024 Tacoma "UNSAFE TO DRIVE" on Invoice #[XXX] but refused to perform the Federal Safety Recall (25TA04) for rear brake hoses unless I paid for an $800 brake job first. This violates federal law by making a safety recall conditional on customer-paid maintenance. I am currently driving a vehicle the dealer documented as "unsafe" because they withheld the free safety remedy. * Has the problem been confirmed?
 Yes, the dealer confirmed the rear brakes are failed but refused the recall and the 36,000-mile warranty claim. * Has it been inspected by others?
 Not yet. However, the dealer’s technician failed to record actual millimeter measurements for the pads or rotors on the official invoice. * Warning lamps or symptoms?
 Metal on metal grinding noise from the rear brakes. No warning lamps appeared prior to the failure. * Additional Note on Records:
 The dealer falsified my service records on Line C (Recall 25TC07), claiming I was "unwilling to wait" for a repair that was never even mentioned to me. The dealer also claims I denied service on Line B, but what actually happened is I refused to pay $800 for a premature brake failure that should be covered by my 36,000 mile warranty or as consequential damage from the recall. The dealer then used my refusal to pay for pads as an excuse to withhold the Federal Safety Recall (25TA04). I never denied the safety repair I denied a bill for a factory defect. I have uploaded photos of both rear wheels. The left side is healthy, but the right side is completely destroyed with deep scoring. This uneven wear at only 34,613 miles proves this is a manufacturing defect, not my driving style. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

It happened on February 17, 2026 around noon. My truck is park on the drive way, I went outside to checked the condition of the weather and I notice the driver side window glass looks like a crumpled Reynolds Aluminum wrap. I called Toyota Service Dept since the truck won't start. The battery was replaced and so is the window glass but, they told me it's not covered by the warranty. I paid the new window glass for 619.99. I called Geico my insurance and the deductible was 1,000.00. I told Geico I will not claim for the damages for now. I was wondering of all the cars and trucks park in our neighborhood, only my truck sustained this kind of damage. Would this fall under defective materials used by Toyota?

The rear leaf spring broke on my 2024 Toyota Tacoma at approximately 16,000 miles during normal highway driving. The vehicle drove without issue on the way to my destination. On the return trip, I noticed a creaking sound, loud clunks, particularly when going over bumps or turning, and also increased sway. Given how new the vehicle is, a catastrophic suspension failure was not something I anticipated. The failure was confirmed on February 12th by my authorized Toyota dealer, Toyota of Muskegon in Muskegon, MI as a manufacturer defect. The vehicle is currently at the dealership awaiting a replacement part and is available for inspection upon request. A broken leaf spring compromises the structural integrity of the rear suspension, affecting vehicle stability, handling, and control - particularly at highway speeds or during braking. A failed leaf spring can also contact the fuel tank, creating a potential fire hazard. This is a documented risk, as Toyota issued a recall on 790,000 Tacomas from model years 2005–2011 for this same failure. When I called my authorized dealership, the service manager told me to get the truck off the road immediately. Based on my description, he identified it as a likely broken leaf spring and that it was an extremely dangerous situation. He even suggested that I get the truck towed into the dealership. The dealer has documented it as a manufacturer defect and submitted a warranty claim. A replacement part has been ordered but is currently on an extended backorder with no confirmed availability date. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Toyota dealer, who confirmed the leaf spring failure as a manufacturer defect. Toyota corporate has been notified and a case has been opened (Case #: 260303000171) There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failure. The leaf spring failed without any prior symptoms or indication of a problem.

I bought the vehicle at the end of September 2024 and February 12, 2025. I had been on the road for about 15 minutes nothing different and then I look in my rearview mirror and underneath the bed of the truck was on fire and The truck was completely destroyed and Toyota is not doing anything about it or helping at all and im a toyota employee of almost a decade

The contact had not experienced a failure.

When the radar becomes covered with ice and snow, the truck continuously spawns alerts for each Safety Sense feature that is disabled, including a pop up the occludes the instrument cluster and can not be dismissed. Multiple warnings interfere with focus in poor conditions and create more of a safety hazard due to driver distraction.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V058000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed but traveled down to the floorboard. The brake warning light blinked, and the message to “Pull Over to a Safe Area” was displayed. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. The contact stated that brake fluid had leaked from the vehicle. The driver was able to drive back to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed andit was determined that there was a hairline crack visible, and that the clip on the brake line was missing a bolt. However, the dealer informed the driver that the failure had occurred due to the oversize tires installed on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was towed back to the residence. The vehicle remained at the house unrepaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

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.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tacoma equipped with Michelin Tires, Tire Line: Defender LTX M/S2, Tire Size: 245/70/R17, DOT Number: (N/A). The contact stated that two weeks after the vehicle was inspected and passed the inspection, while driving at an undisclosed speed and depressing the brake pedal to stop at a stop sign, the vehicle failed to stop and slid past the stop sign. The contact pulled over to inspect the vehicle and saw that the steel belts were protruding from the tires. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, and the contact was informed that the vehicle should not have passed the inspection with the tires currently on the vehicle. Additionally, the contact was informed that there was a recall on the vehicle for the back-over prevention camera screen. The contact stated that the back-over prevention screen frequently went blank. The dealer was contacted, and the contact was informed that there was no remedy yet for the recall repair. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer approximately 22 times for three separate failures, but could not be repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures, and the contact requested a buyback of the vehicle; however, the buyback was declined by the manufacturer. The failure mileage was unknown.

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.

While driving at 15-30 MPH, the vehicle lost braking function and crashed into a tree. After the failure, the low brake and the low brake power message were displayed. The driver had not sustained any injuries. The occupant in the passenger seat sustained spinal injuries and neck irritation; medical attention and surgery were provided. There was no reported fire, police report filed, or air bag deployment. The towing company was contacted, who informed him there was brake fluid on the driver-side rear brake line. The vehicle was towed to his residence. The next day, it was towed to a body shop. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The insurance company informed him that they would inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 8,644.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that the gas cap failed to close securely and was loose. Additionally, the contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 25V058000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) and 25V595000 (Electrical System); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact stated that the instrument panel was blank at start-up. The contact also stated that the infotainment system screen was blank intermittently while driving, which required the driver to pull over to the side of the road to turn off and restart the vehicle. The dealer was contacted several times for the recall repairs, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by voicemail message. The failure mileage was approximately 80.

The vehicle is a 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 that was later traded for a 2025 Tacoma SR5 due to a serious safety defect involving the rear brake lines. The problem is the same one described in Toyota’s recall: the rear brake hoses can be damaged by debris, resulting in brake fluid loss and potential brake failure. The safety risk was significant. The vehicle was used to transport a young child, and because the brake lines could fail without warning, the truck could not be safely operated for daily driving. Multiple franchised Toyota dealerships confirmed that they had no remedy parts available for several months and that the repair could not be performed. This left the vehicle without a functional safety repair for an extended period. The manufacturer’s public statements indicated that a fix existed, but dealerships consistently stated the opposite. No alternate transportation, loaner vehicle, or temporary replacement was provided during this period. The defect was not reproducible by driving because of the risk involved, but the safety issue was acknowledged by dealerships who stated that the recall was active and unresolved. The vehicle was effectively unusable for normal safe operation. No warning lights appeared on the dashboard; the hazard is related to the physical brake line design and exposure to debris rather than an electronic sensor. The vehicle was inspected by multiple Toyota dealerships, all of whom confirmed that no repair could be performed at the time. The component was not replaced, repaired, or made safe before the vehicle was traded out of due to the unresolved safety defect. The situation caused substantial safety concerns and financial hardship and appears to reflect a wider problem in remedy availability for this recall.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The multimedia head unit / Apple CarPlay system is malfunctioning. The screen randomly disconnects, goes black, and frequently fails to connect to iPhones. The system displays “Retry,” and at times Apple CarPlay will only reconnect through Bluetooth settings instead of normal wired/wireless operation. Both vehicles are available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The failure creates a safety hazard because the screen disconnects or goes black while driving, causing sudden loss of navigation, phone functions, and display information. This forces the driver to look down, attempt to reconnect the phone, or search through Bluetooth menus while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of distraction and a potential collision. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No. I have already taken both of my new-generation Tacomas to Toyota for inspection. The dealership was unable to reproduce the malfunction, even though the issue happens repeatedly during normal driving. The problem occurs on multiple iPhones, confirming it is not phone-specific. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The multimedia system has only been inspected by Toyota, but no police, insurance, or manufacturer inspection beyond the dealership has taken place. The issue remains ongoing and can be inspected at any time. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. The multimedia screen will: show “Retry” when attempting to connect disconnect mid-drive without warning go completely black switch to Bluetooth-only connection fail to recognize iPhones during startup These symptoms occur randomly, across different days, and on multiple iPhones

The multimedia head unit and Apple CarPlay system are malfunctioning. The screen randomly disconnects, goes black, and often fails to connect to iPhones. It shows “Retry,” and sometimes Apple CarPlay will only reconnect through the Bluetooth settings instead of normal wired or wireless CarPlay. Both of my new-generation Tacomas are available for inspection upon request. This issue creates a safety risk because the screen disconnects or goes black while driving, causing loss of navigation, hands-free calling, and vehicle information. This forces me to look down or try reconnecting the phone while the vehicle is in motion, which increases the risk of distraction and a possible accident. I have taken both of my Tacomas to Toyota for inspection, but the dealer was unable to reproduce the problem. The issue happens repeatedly during normal driving and occurs on multiple iPhones, so it is not a phone-specific issue. The vehicles have only been inspected by Toyota at the dealership level. No inspections have been done by the manufacturer, police, or insurance. The problem is ongoing and the vehicles are available for inspection at any time. The symptoms include the screen showing “Retry,” disconnecting without warning, going completely black, switching to Bluetooth-only connection, and failing to recognize iPhones at startup. These issues appear randomly on different days and with multiple iPhones. No other vehicle warning lights were present.

I’m filing this report because the dealership where I purchased and have my vehicle regularly serviced failed to notify us of an active safety recall related to the brake system on our Toyota truck. The dealership is Classic Toyota – located at 2301 W Mercury Blvd, Hampton, VA 23666. The recall was issued in February 2025, yet the vehicle has been serviced by the same Toyota dealer multiple times since then, including an oil change and a state inspection. The dealer never mentioned the open recall or offered to repair it. I bought the truck prior to the recall in July of 2024. We only learned of the recall recently through the Toyota app, not from the dealership. This is unacceptable given that brake recalls pose a serious safety risk. I am requesting an investigation into this dealership’s failure to notify or perform the recall repair as required by federal law.

I was traveling home from work. Upon leaving work the backup camera on my truck worked as expected. Once I arrived home the back up camera and all other camera would not appear on the screen and the screen was blank. I attempted to put the truck from drive to reverse several times and the back up camera would not appear. I attempted to use the "view" button located on the console and the cameras would not appear. I then resulted in parking the truck, turning the truck off, starting the truck, and then testing which this time the cameras did work. Things of interest that may play a role. I did use android auto for the journey. I did also check that the built-in system appeared on the screen after disconnecting my phone. I do have a video of the experience if there is a way to upload that.

Vehicle: Toyota Tacoma (2024 model year) Component: Factory-Installed Plastic Bed Cap Rail Covers I am reporting a recurring and potentially hazardous issue with the factory-installed plastic bed cap rail covers on the 2024 Toyota Tacoma. These covers separate from the truck body, especially at the corners, during normal use. This is not caused by aftermarket accessories, but appears to result from the flawed design and attachment method. A significant number of 4th generation (2024+) Tacoma owners are experiencing similar problems with lifting and separation of these factory-installed covers. Owner forums, complaint boards, and dealer interactions reveal this is a widespread defect affecting many vehicles. Owners report frustration with the lack of a permanent solution from the manufacturer, and many have sought dealership repairs or warranty replacements, only to have the issue recur within days or weeks. The factory-installed (and warranty replacement) rail covers are attached using double-stick tape and a single row of plastic clips, which does not provide sufficient security, especially at highway speeds. The covers flex and flutter, increasing the risk of detachment while the vehicle is in motion. Detached rail covers may create a road hazard for other vehicles or pedestrians. Multiple warranty claims and dealership interactions have been pursued, but the problem persists. Replacement rail covers show the same tendency to separate within days of installation. Given the widespread nature of this defect and growing owner dissatisfaction, I respectfully request that NHTSA review and address this matter. A more robust solution is needed immediately to ensure the safety and reliability of these factory-installed components for all affected vehicles.

See attached document for complaint. I am writing to formally notify you of a serious unresolved safety issue regarding my leased 2024 Toyota Tacoma (VIN: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX), currently subject to the official safety recall (NHTSA Recall No. 25V-058 / Toyota Recall No. 24TA04 - Interim Notice 25TB04). Despite repeated attempts to schedule the recall service with Toyota of Orlando, no effective remedy ha been provided to date. The recall documentation clearly states that the defect can cause brake fluid leakage and a potential loss of braking ability, significantly increasing the risk of crash. As a parent of a XXXXXXXXXXt, I cannot safely operate this vehicle under such circumstances. The inability of Toyota to resolve this urgent safety defect in a timely manner not only violates consumer trust but also places my family at unacceptable risk. Therefore: I. I demand immediate confirmation of when and how the recall repair will be completed. 2. If Toyota i unable or unwilling to promptly resolve this issue, I will be forced to escalate the matter through legal counsel, including seeking termination of my lease contract without penalty. 3. I am also notifying all relevant government agencies. including NHTSA of Toyota's failure to provide a timely and safe resolution. Attached are copies of the recall notice, service invoices, and related communications for your record . I expect a written response within 10 business days from the receipt of this letter.

Multimedia audio system in Toyota vehicles does not mute music being played when using Car Play to read text messages as it was designed by Apple. This causes the driver to have to mess with the audio button and turn off the music while driving when listening to or replying to a text message. Hands free integration of a cellphone working in a vehicle as designed by the cellphone manufacturer should be required by the vehicle manufacturer if they state it is a feature when purchasing one of their vehicles. Reports to the vehicle manufacture about this flaw have been disregarded and they state it is working as designed. Reports to the cellphone manufacturer state that it is not working as they intend it to, but vehicle manufacturer refuses to fix it.

I was informed by the service manager at Labadie Toyota (Bay City, MI) that the new 2.4L Turbos have injector issues! Some Sienna's Tacoma's, and other models have faulty direct injectors that spray way too much fuel into the cylinders, and it drains into the oil reservoir! I had my oil changed at 1K, 5K and 10K by the dealership. I've had this issue at 5K and I presumed service center incompetence, and they agreed. I recently had my oil changed at 10K and came back in 2 weeks later with check engine light on and excessive engine chatter. I was told this a known Toyota engineering issue, and they are now telling the techs to look into the cylinders to look for clean/washed piston tops. Today they just changed my oil and told me to come back in 3 weeks or if issues arise. I'm concerned about a fire with gas going into the engine oil and potentially causing a fire. Toyota engineering is aware of this issue I was told so I would a recall to be issued so there is no issues with a fire happening.

2024 new 4th-generation Tacoma Hybrid Limited. During driving in snow or rain, the front chrome grille or another component in the front, appears to collect water. Periodically, it releases a sudden burst of water or snow onto both sides of the windshield. The impact is abrupt, like having a snowball or large splash of water thrown at the glass, and is startling because it’s unexpected. This happens on both the driver and passenger sides, (but not at the same time) temporarily impairing visibility and potentially increasing the risk of an accident. Note: This occurs every time it snows or rains.

Checked by HTN AUTO SHOP at 800 N Western Ave, Oklahoma City, OK-73106. Shop owner said it could be a problem sooner or later since the car is operated under dirt road a lot and recommand me not driving it very often. However i drives a lot, to go to other states and also to many off roads. Average drivers drive 12k miles a year. I bought this truck [XXX], today is 8/8/2025 and have already put on over 18k miles which would translate to about 27000 miles a year, i drives 2.5 times more than others and i need my vehicle to be safe as i drive my wife and my [XXX] baby. Toyota manufacture kept saying me they wont pay directly to the rental because there is no loaner with the vin, they said just go and rent and send them a bill later and they will review for reimburse. I spoke with Fowler toyota rental and service manager they said the recall for my car wont be avaiable till October- that is another 2 months from now. The dealership do aware this is safety recall and i should get a rental but im not comtable with Toyota may review and 2 months later rejected my rental bill for reimburse. Toyota Corporate kept telling me they have to review later. First call with them on 08/07/2025- the lady told me that Toyota will definitely review and pay for the reimbursement, i just need to go rent and pay for them myself first then reimburst later. I told her i cant do that i need Toyota to pay directly and she said there was nothing she can do. Then i went to Fowler Toyota TRAC department (rent a toyota) at dealership and told the dealership i want to leave my truck there till recall is done and i need a rental. Fowler toyota manager said i need to try to contact TOYOTA corporate again and try to have them pay directly to the dealership for the rental so i called Toyota corporate again while i was waiting at the dealership and again they refused said i need to pay upfront first and they will review for reimburse later. This time they said they "may" reimburest me later INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Since day one vibration and pulsing 30-45MPH. Dealer confirmed vibration and said it common with my vehicle and nothing can be done. Returned to dealer same issue confirmed by tech and service manager and they charged $75 for tire balance at 5,000 miles. Returned next day and drove another identical model and 3 lesser versions of Tacoma’s. They claim they have no fix and suggested I trade it in for a Tundra and take a $10,000 deductions from my sticker price. Now when I stop slowly theres a thump and surge in the drive train like s load shifted in the bed. And intermittently when going from a dead stop the engine rev’s nothing happens for a second and it clunks into gear and shifts harshly. Again claim there’s nothing they can do.

On July 25th 2025 the rear brake hose recall repair was performed on a 2024 Toyota Tacoma by an authorized Toyota dealership at Jim Norton Toyota OKC. Approximately one week later, the passenger side rear brake hose began leaking a significant amount of brake fluid. This triggered the brake warning light and a “Loss of Braking Power” message on the dashboard. The brake pedal became soft, and stopping distance increased noticeably, creating a serious risk to driver and public safety. The vehicle was unsafe to operate and was towed to a dealership. The issue was confirmed by the dealer’s service department and repaired. The incident occurred without any prior warning lamps, messages, or symptoms. The problem appears directly related to the recent recall repair, either from improper installation or premature failure of the replacement part.

Transmission slipping in 2nd gear and losing power. No warning lights, but the loss of power could've resulted in an accident had it been in an intersection. I can reproduce the issue, but the dealer says they are unable to. That said, there are other issues with power delivery such as RPM flutter that they have acknowledged in writing.

Vehicle lurched forward with a “bang” accelerating in stop and go traffic. Vehicle then stalled and flashed multiple warnings. Hybrid system failure. Drive mode failure. General failure. Vehicle would not restart on first attempt - multiple attempts made to restart. Upon restarting, it would not move forward in Drive, prompting a new error stating it needed to be returned to park. After a couple more restarts it was able to engage the gear and move forward. Power was limited, it drove differently, and the hybrid error persisted.

I was driving along and the top hat on my suspension blew out. Toyota used a cast aluminum top hat on the top of the coil over and the shock blew through the top of the top shock mount. They used a steel top hat on the 4Runner so I believe they know it is an issue but haven’t had enough issues with it yet to do a recall. I uploaded a picture of what my coil over looks like after it happened and what it is supposed to look like. Stock trd offroad suspension.

I have a new 2024 Toyota Tacoma that I purchased December 2024. my dashboard lit up the morning of Thursday, April 17. Drive start warning on the dashboard and a secondary breaking malfunction warning I contacted my local Toyota dealer and informed him that my vehicle is giving me warnings and I only have 13,000 miles on the vehicle. I took the vehicle and they told me that it was the fuel pump they replaced the fuel pump return the vehicle to me, and before I could leave the parking lot both codes on the dashboard shut up again and the vehicle would not move. I am writing this report to document what is going on with the vehicle. I believe that it is a lemon and there’s something majorly wrong with it. I brought the vehicle brand new in December and again it’s only has 13,000 miles on it right now.

My concerns are with the remote capabilities of this Toyota Tacoma that has been lent to us by the i5 dealership in chehalis wa. We are using this vehicle while they complete repairs on our truck. Home link, Apple Music, remote connect, Sirius XM, and other functionalities are being used for surveillance, stalking, spying and remotely unlocking the vehicle. The truck has been broken into at least 3 times, twice my debit cards were stolen and the other time a sd card was put into the truck. Initially I believed this could’ve been something I inadvertently did but when I saw the pictures on the card I knew this wasn’t the case. My family and I have been under attack by a dod vendor, [XXX] , who is putting forth an extraordinary effort to criminally impersonate me by linking all of my families electronic devices to a LAN that is managed by him. The LAN allows him to then add mdm to the individual devices and he has restricted me from obtaining any help with his intrusions for the last two years. Issues such as this, that should be easily addressed, become monumental tasks. I attempted to submit this report 2 times last night to no avail. I then called in to the number and was told they don’t take reports of this nature and that I should call the manufacturer. A google search told me this claim was untrue, so here I am, back here attempting to once again complete the report. For someone who wants nothing other than my demise to have control over a vehicle I’m being forced to drive is cause for great concern. I do not know what other automations he has enabled but I can also see that the homelink has also been set up in some capacity. The screen in the truck states that my speed and location may not be accurately reflected on other displays. There appear to be WiFi and hotspot connections that we have been unsuccessful connecting to, which is fine..but their mere presence concern me.

Lane keeping will kamikaze the vehicle on to exit ramps or exit only lanes when engaged at a highway speed. This seems most common when the truncated lane markers, usually used on exit-only lanes, and not the full length lane markers (the center line markings). Example: Vehicle is traveling at a static heading, freeway speed, two lane limited access freeway, driver in control, all lane keeping and adaptive features engaged. When an exit lane approaches on right, vehicle abruptly deviates to the exit lane with zero driver intent or inputs. Once vehicle system realizes the error, system alerts, notifies of a lane departure, and disables the lane keeping. Particularly problematic is that vehicle actively fights driver inputs to restore the intended course as it appears to believe the driver is in error. This is not a one-off occurrence. It is very consistent. To the point when I can anticipate, disable the system or counter steer to keep the vehicle course straight. It seems the vehicle cannot properly identify the shortened / truncated pavement markings correctly, leading to this undesirable course adjustment.

The vehicle lane departure will regularly steer the vehicle across lane dividing lines and leave the lane of travel. In one instance the truck continued to attempt to steer right even after crossing the white line. This complaint and specific instances were confirmed by the manufacturer however the manufacturer claims the vehicle is behaving as expected due to “limitations”. As such Toyota is saying the vehicle is going to regularly depart the lane automatically and they do not intend to perform nor pursue any fix.

All the windows make a rattling noise when they're rolled halfway down when hitting bumps.

There is currently a safety recall on my vehicle that has no remedy available. There is a risk of having brake hoses rupturing and losing braking fluid, causing a no brakes situations and high risk for an accident. I reached out to the dealership and was provided with no information on how to resolve the situation, but was referred to their company's headquarters. Once I reached out to their representative, I was informed that the estimated time to provide a potential repair would be about 3 months. Essentially I was given the option of either driving the vehicle and expose myself and others to a vehicle incident or store my vehicle until there is a remedy provided, but still incur the costs of the vehicle, namely paying the vehicle loan.

On 11/14/2024 the windshield wipers started malfunctioning on my leased Toyota Tacoma. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. On 11/22/2024 I took the vehicle to Premier Toyota for service. I was told they do not have the parts, that was 9 weeks ago. This vehicle is unsafe with malfunctioning wipers.

The morning my transmission failed... I started the truck and put it in R, at which point the entire truck shuddered for several seconds. At this point many, many warning messages appeared on the instrument cluster screen as well as the infotainment screen - and the truck would not move in Reverse. After moving the shifter into P and back to R, the truck backed out of the driveway. When the truck was shifted to D - nothing happened. The truck was shifted back to R and then back to D at which point the truck moved forward but would not shift out of 1st gear. Placed truck back in P and then back to D two more times and truck would move forward but not shift out of 1st gear. Turned truck off and on approximately 3 times and it began to shift gears when driving. I drove the truck to the closest Toyota dealership where the warning codes were checked, and I was told that my transmission was bad and needed to be replaced. I was told that it would need a new Torque Converter assy, new Automatic Transmission assy, and a new Hybrid Module assy. Total cost for parts would be $27,504.29.... Covered by warranty. My truck was purchased brand new in Virginia, MN on [XXX], and the failure occurred on [XXX] with less than 800 miles on the vehicle.

The vehicle has a vibration at speeds in excess of 40mph. The dealer has confirmed that the wheels are balanced and that the truck is in alignment. They have duplicated the issue on my truck and have driven an identical model and experienced the same inherent vibration. There are also mentions of this vibration in Tacoma forums online specific to the TRD Off-road variant

The air bags never deployed after I T boned another tacoma at a speed of about 30 mph. There's was a 2017 that also did not have air bags deployed. Vehicle is waiting to be inspected by the shop.

Stopping at a stop light, after coming to a complete stop, vehicle will want to slowly creep forward and you need to press a little harder on the brake pedal. If you don't pay attention, you will creep into the vehicle in front of you. I am in the transmission TSB range.

I am reporting a safety concern related to my Toyota vehicle involving the all-weather floor mat on the driver’s side. I have noticed that the mat consistently becomes caught on top of the clutch pedal when I press the pedal all the way down. This causes the mat to obstruct the pedal’s full range of motion, making it difficult to fully disengage the clutch. As a result, I have to be extremely cautious and pull over to manually adjust the mat whenever this happens, as it poses a potential safety hazard while driving. I have recorded a video showing this issue occurring, but the file size is too large to submit through the NHTSA portal. As an alternative, I have taken a screenshot from the video that clearly shows the mat interfering with the clutch pedal. I am concerned that this issue could lead to an unsafe driving situation, especially in emergency or high-stress driving conditions. I am requesting that this issue be investigated, as it may affect other vehicles with similar all-weather floor mats.

My 2024 Tacoma SR5 was stuttering and felt like the wheels are locking up when I accelerate I have to go very slow because when going anything over 30 MPH feels very unsafe and is hard to control and handle it shut off a lot of my systems like crash detection and 2-3 other ones are cut off on my dash it threw a check engine light so going to take it in to Toyota tomorrow to get it looked at I don’t know if I even want this truck anymore.

I bought the truck at 6 pm on [XXX] in Pennsylvania and drove straight home in Brooklyn, when trying to find a parking spot the truck started to act weird(10pm after 190 miles). The rpm was going really high with no power to the wheels and abruptly it seems to find gear and jumped off really fast a couple of times. I was driving in a residential area at low speed and was able to pull over to the curb. I could have hit a pedestrian, another car or lost control pretty badly if I was in a highway. After the initial incident all the lights came off (engine malfunction, brakes malfunction, collision system malfunction and others). The truck was towed and after a long wait, today the 5th of December, it was diagnosed as a transmission problem, Toyota is going order a new transmission and the broken one will be sent to Toyota for further inspection. They want to replace my truck and it seems they are not willing to cancel the deal. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My new 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro with 2440 miles experienced a transmission failure as I was driving up a mountain highway. I lost most propulsion of the vehicle with no advanced notice. I barely was able to make it to a portion of the road with a shoulder. There was heavy traffic due to the thanksgiving holiday traffic. The error on the Vehicle indicated Hybrid System Failure. In the vehicle information I was able to access additional errors, “A malfunctions in the intelligent Clearance Sonar System has been detected”, and “A malfunction in the Drive Start Control System has been detected”. The vehicle was towed to a local Toyota dealer and the have diagnose that the transmission and a computer need to be replaced. The problem arose suddenly without warning and with out any prior issues.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently drifted to the left and jerked while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. Additionally, the instrument panel was not functioning properly. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the long block and torque converter had failed, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 188,000.

The driver's seat will not consistently hold the height, it will drop to the lowest height level on it's own

Engine is noisy during take off sounds like a rod knock the truck has 5k miles on it.

The A/C compressor has a chirp when the compressor is cycled on in the mornings it's done this since the day I drove it home from the dealership.

The air blows hard out of the vents when it's switched over to cold but when you move it over to heat it blows lightly like it's on the lowest fan speed but the fan is blowing on high it sounds like the air flow is being restricted.

When I was driving my new truck the transmission failed. It would not change gears forward or reverse. The RMP started ramping up in the red. Check engine light on drive start control malfunction. Advanced ultrasonic detecting and ranging system. The led screen was going hoops asking for code and updating while driving day before transmission went. Called dealer. Had the car towed. Later that day was told bye dealer the transmission needs to be replaced. Did research to find out Toyota new theses transmission are faulty and have not recalled. If I where on highway or similar roads I drive daily I would have been hurt. This problem will cause a accident. I am aware the NHTSA has been informed, reached out to Toyota and Toyota has not responded nor have they started a safety recall. My fear is they are waiting for someone to get hurt or killed. My dealer also informed me another customer with a tacoma has been waiting since may 2024 for a transmission.

When starting from a stop on at a stop light on a steep hill, the truck did not accelerate and started rolling backward almost hitting multiple vehicles. I was able to get it stopped but had to wait to get help to move it off the road before being able to get it moving forward again.

Apple Carplay does not mute music while playing or replying to a text message. The driver has to turn off the audio system to hear the text message and/or reply. This is not an issue with the Apple device, as it works as intended in other vehicles such as a 2020 Hyundai Kona and a 2024 GMC Sierra where it has been tested. This is a safety concern as it is distracting to the driver to have to intervene in order to use the Carplay functionality as it does not work like it is supposed to. It has been tested in both wireless and wired carplay and the issue persists.

The driver seat manual height adjustment. When you raise the drivers seat to the maximum height, within 30 minutes of driving, the seat slowly lowers on its own. I would have to give it 2-3 cranks to raise the seat. Overnight, the next morning, without anyone in the seat, it needs 2-3 cranks to raise the seat back to its maximum height. I’m afraid it may get worse in time and might just lower all the way down when driving. This is a daily occurrence.

Speedometer/odometer is incorrect and Toyota manufacturing says it cannot be fixed. Toyota sells this vehicle with two different size tires. The smaller is approximately 30.6 inches high and the larger is 32.61 inches high. Toyota manufacturing sets the odometer and speedometer for the larger tire and says that is the only option. That means that the speedometer is off by 4 miles an hour at 6 4 mph and for every 100 miles shown on the odometer, the truck has only traveled 98 miles. It’s frustrating to recalibrate in your mind. What the speed limit is versus what your truck is actually going, and it also throws off the warranty in Toyota‘s favor.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Transmission, and yes its available for inspection. When I put the truck into drive from park, and even reverse, the truck would jerk. (I have videos) When accelerating around 13-14mph, I could feel the transmission "gear searching" with rough shifting. When decelerating around 15-17mph, the transmission would down shift too early, producing the feeling of engine breaking, and again rough shifting. When I needed to really go, I experienced "transmission lag" where the engine would be working, reving up, the feeling of engaging the clutch (coasting feeling), then after a moment the gear would catch and the truck would finally take off. I took the truck to a dealership to have it checked out, but the technicians said they couldn't reproduce this issue. I called corporate and they sent me to another dealership. This dealership said the same thing, BUT went the next step and pulled some transmission fluid and found metal shavings. They had the truck for almost 3 weeks and replaced the transmission and torque converter. When I went to pick up the truck I put the truck into drive and felt the jerk I experienced before. I put it into reverse then drive, and again the whole truck jerks. I asked to speak to a manager and he said he can have the foreman look at it the next day. I made him get in the truck with me and showed him the truck jerking when placed into drive. Next day, foreman said there was nothing wrong and performed the same as a new truck on the lot. I spoke to a higher manager and he recommended I bring the truck in for the regional Field Technician. The Field Technician reviewed the vehicle and determined there was nothing wrong and it was performing the same as 3 new trucks on the lot.

I purchased the 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro on 9/5/24. On 9/20/24 the Transmission failed with just over 1,000 miles driven on the truck. I was stopped at a traffic light when the problem occurred. Multiple sensor alarms were triggered including Hybrid System Malfunction. I attempted to accelerate when the light changed, but it was very sluggish and felt like it was trying to take off from a high gear. I was less than 1 mile from a Toyota dealership when the malfunction occurred and was able to get the truck to the dealership. After a week of troubleshooting, the dealership informed me that the transmission was stuck in 6th gear due to a solenoid failure and they would need to replace the transmission. The transmission is currently on backorder with an estimated delivery between 10/14 and 10/26. Based on the current estimate, by the time I get the truck back, i will have made two months of lease payments while only having the vehicle in my possession for 2 weeks.

When at stop light transmission would not fully engage and started thru intersection was only going approx 20 mph. Engine went to 3500 rpm before it shifted again. After I arrived at my destination started truck back up again and received warning on dash and check engine light came on. Had check engine and drive control system warning messages. Still had same problem with it at stop lights and transmission seemed to not be shifting properly. Was able to get it to dealer and next day received call from them stating that I needed new transmission.

Automatic transmission fault that locked the vehicle in 2nd gear. The vehicle was taken to a local dealership for service, and Toyota refused to replace the transmission and torque converter as per their own repair procedure, claiming it must be replicated in order to authorize the repair. This is an already known fault by Toyota, yet their response was that a dangerous condition has to be duplicated even though vehicle diagnostic codes show that two transmission solenoids were stuck, and even though I provided them photos of the multiple warnings on the driver’s dash from when it occurred. Other vehicles with the same condition have been repaired without question. Vehicle had 1,574 miles on it and 1,579 once I arrived at the dealer.

The contact stated that the vehicle came to a complete stop. The contact stated that there were no vehicles nearby. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed of a potential software update. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

While driving on the highway A hybrid System Malfunction occurred, which caused the vehicle to be thrown into 2nd gear. Took the vehicle to dealership and they determined that the transmission had failed. The vehicle was only 1 week only and only had 822 miles on it.

While driving I received numerous system malfunction warnings followed by a message to visit my dealership. While driving into the dealership the vehicle started losing power and engine went into complete failure. It is now at dealership and waiting for it to be inspected. When alerts first went off I was unable to stop because I was on a busy dangerous street.

Transmission failure

The strut blew through the top hat on the drivers side strut assembly/strut mount driving on a state highway. This design has a cast aluminum top hat that bears the dynamic forces and shocks. It can, and in my case, did catastrophically fail. Had failure happened at higher speeds or under other circumstances it could impair controlability at speed. There are no warning lights or sensors available for this problem. Online owner's forums for the new 2024 model year of the Toyota Tacoma (so-called 4th generation) are starting to report this identical failure. The local dealer is replacing the defective components with the same components.

Transmission shifts rough in the morning from gears 1-2. I get some rough shifts when warmed up as well. With the about of automatic transmissions failing it’s time Toyota tell us what’s going on. How can we be expected to drive a new truck every day and worry about if the trans mission will fail.

My Tacoma SR5 with only 6000 miles of use failed the transmission or automatic gearbox when I was going on the highway hitting the transmission and neutralizing on several occasions having to exit the service channel abruptly so as not to get stranded in the middle of the highway and cause an accident. No warning light on the dashboard came on and according to the dealer it did not show errors or faults. On the third occasion they decided to leave it and tell me that the transmission had to be replaced. I have been waiting for more than 30 days for a response from the Toyota dealer with a promise that they would soon deliver my truck to me.

I was driving on the freeway going 68-70 MPH when I had a sudden loss of power. Vehicle could not maintain speeds and was sluggish while making it over to the side of the road. Vehicle was towed to dealership, which could not initially find anything. Next day after test driving vehicle, it was confirmed that the transmission is broken.

Gas gauge is showing the incorrect amount of fuel left. I filled up for gas 3 days ago, my commute is very short so I know I didn't burn through that much gas in 3 days. I was in between 3/4ths and full with 229 DTE before leaving. Got to my destination and I now had a full tank of gas and 246 DTE. I reset the gauge per the manual and it now shows 3/4ths with 176 DTE. Many people with Tundra's have had the same issue. Some say its due to filling up the tank past 3/4ths and parking on an incline. I would really hate to get stranded or run out of fuel driving around town. It has not been brought to the dealer yet I'm waiting to get an oil change. No warning messages or any kind and this is the first time happening at around 830 miles.

Eight speed transmission exhibited difficulty in downshifting to lower gears. Loud rumbling sound could be hard inside of truck cabin. Also, upon my inspection, found transmission fluid leaking on the garage floor. All of this occurred at less than 400 total miles on the vehicle. Vehicle was inspected by the local dealer Toyota Service Department and determined to be a defective transmission that must be replaced. It is possible that the transmission could have seized up while driving, causing the vehicle to be uncontrollable.

Hello NHTSA, I'm writing to you about a safety design concern (not a complaint, no incident happened) on my 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The rear brake lines are routed inside the wheel and have approximately 3/4" clearance. There is no room for error and brake failure may occur very easily with the line getting damage, even by removing and installing the wheel. My concern is safety for my family and self with future brake related failure. I contacted Toyota and their response was that they haven't heard of an incident and to take to the dealer. I'm sure the dealer will charge me for the visit and say there are no recalls and nothing damaged.

TRUCK IS ACTING LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. WILL REV SUPER HIGH WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60, AS WELL AS NOT GOING FROM A STAND STILL. SHIFTING USING THE MANUAL MODE DOES NOT HELP IT AT ALL, AS IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUES. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THE TRUCK IS HAVING HARD SHIFTS AND COMES OUT OF GEAR WHILE MOVING AND STOPPED.

Transmission experienced rough shifting from reverse to drive immediately followed by the inability to access gears 1-5. The transmission was within normal operating temperatures per the onboard temp readings. Going into park or neutral did not fix the issue. Stopping and restarting the engine allowed access to lower gears briefly, but once the vehicle shifted up, it could no longer access the lower gears. Shortly after this, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle went into limp mode.

I bought a 2024 Tacoma TRD Off Road Premium Package through MAS ( Military Auto Source ). I picked the vehicle up from the Bremerhaven port in Germany on 08 July 2024 it was missing the back bed charging adapter box but MAS said they would cover the cost in writing to fix no big deal and I drove it back to Weiden Germany. Today 09 July 2024 I lost the ability to shift into 2nd, 4th, and 6th gear. There is only 2 of these vehicles in the country of germany right now. The vehicle has approximately 735 Km on it. It probably would have happen early had i been shifting more but the majority of my first in it was on the Autobaun in 6th gear going roughly 130 Km most of the way with no down shifting or ciry driving. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by a toyota tech due to the vehicle not being produced in Germany but it doesnt take a genius to look up the issue your having and see the exact thing from multiple other Toyota owners. Toyota would be best to buy this vehicle back and reach out to me. Vin [XXX] Below is the customer care email i requested be sent with my reference number and case number.

While pulling out of my drive way I noticed when I pressed the gas pedal my truck barely moved, it felt like it was in neutral. I pressed the gas pedal further and it started to move but the RPMs were around 6000 RPM. I then pulled to the side of the road and tried shifting it into different modes, cycling through manual and automatic, but still nothing. I then noticed that while in manual mode the display read “S6”. Which I deduced meant sixth gear. Not wanting to be late for work I just pressed on the gas pedal till the truck got moving and drove the 18 miles to work in sixth gear. After returning to my truck after work, I started it up and it worked fine. A few days later I reported it to the dealer and they had me bring it in for a diagnosis. A day later they reported to me that the truck experienced a transmission failure and would have to be replaced. As of right now I am still waiting to hear when the replacement transmission will arrive. The maintenance advisor stated he could not give me a time frame for the parts to arrive or when the work would be completed.

Vehicle only has 209 miles and the transmission is out ,not driveable

Truck has an issue where certain safety systems are disabled when a trailer is detected. This is normal. However, the truck is failing to notice once a trailer has been disconnected and this keeps the safety features disabled during normal driving. Toyota has yet to address the issue. There are many people complaining online. Not safe and very disappointing.

The windshield has a visual defect which presents itself as diagonal lines in bright situations when a car or other object is in front of the vehicle. The diagonal lines will appear in high contrast situations during the day, or at night when an oncoming vehicle's lights are on.

Brand new 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road automatic 2700 miles Truck is two weeks old The Toyota dealership called and reported that the entire transmission needed to replaced after being at the Toyota dealership for a week. Yes it is available for inspection. Toyota tech said that there are no spare transmissions in the U.S. and that it could take 3 months or longer to replace. Toyota tech found metal shavings in transmission fluid. Truck is entirely stock from factory with no customizations. Truck started shifting hard between a few gears and then got stuck in a higher gear and would not move forward even with accelerator to the floor. This was in the middle of the road with multiple vehicles behind me. I am not aware if anyone other than Toyota technicians have inspected the vehicle. There were no warnings, messages, or dashboard lights illuminated when this happened. Toyota dealership also refused to supply a rental car in the meantime while truck is being fixed. I am in the military and have no means to provide transportation to myself or family unless I pay out of pocket.

Vibration between 25 & 45mph Confirmed by dealer technician possible transmission issue. First noticed on drive home after purchase. No incidents yet

I’ve only had the vehicle about a month with only 1245 miles on it. I was leaving a parking lot and pulled out on the road and the vehicle shifted in neutral after a minute or so the vehicle then slammed back into gear. It did this 2 or 3 times. I pulled into a gas station turned the vehicle off and waited a few minutes. I turned the vehicle back on backed out and preceded to drive when the same issue happened again. But now the vehicle would not shift into other gears. This time the check engine light came on with 3 reported errors 1. Advanced ultrasonic detecting and ranging system malfunction. 2. Drive-start control system malfunction. 3. Check engine light stating malfunction in the electronic control of the engine, throttle, or automatic transmission has been detected. I was only about a mile or 2 from a Toyota dealership and was able to limp the truck to the dealership. The dealership informed me today [XXX], that it will need a new transmission and that there were similar issues on new Tacomas across the US. There were no prior signs of any issues prior to the transmission failure. This happened on a roadway with traffic that comes in both directions. Thanks goodness this didn’t cause an accident has it happened out of the blue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
