2024 Toyota Tacoma Power Train

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.

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. No warning lamps or messages ...only the loud audible sound coming from the transmission. To date, it is unknown as to the cause of failure. At my request, Toyota has assigned a Case Number (#240809001043) and is investigating the failure.

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.

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

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.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the part to repair the vehicle was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and two cases were opened. The contact stated that there was a case for the vehicle replacement and another case for the distribution of parts to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 989.

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)

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.

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.
