| Jul 2024 | POWER TRAIN | The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission failed to function as intended. The contact stated that the transmission only shifted into 1st and 2nd gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, the contact was informed that the parts to complete the repair were on back order.

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

| Jun 2024 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE,LANE DEPARTURE | Truck has an issue where certain safety systems are disabled when a trailer is detected. This is normal.

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

| May 2024 | POWER TRAIN | 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.
