| Oct 2024 | POWER TRAIN | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | POWER TRAIN | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Aug 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | POWER TRAIN | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
