| Apr 2026 | POWER TRAIN | I have a 2026 Toyota Tacoma 850 miles on it. I had a problem at about 200 miles that the transmition started to shutter or vibrate as it was slowing down around 26 miles an hour to 10 not exactly that every time but close and as it slowed down it had this distinct vibration or shutter under 5 miles an hour it shifted and it smoothed out. I took it Toyota to my dealer their response was that it was a" normal characteristic of the vehicle" my issue is I don't think a normal characteristic of the vehicle is necessarily an intended way the transmission was supposed to work. I would like to know if The manufacture intended this to operate like that or is it a defect If it's a defect then it could cause at lease major repairs or even an accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | My 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro (VIN [XXX] , delivered 02/28/2026, purchased from Delaney Toyota, DuBois PA) has exhibited a recurring Smart Key and door lock malfunction beginning at approximately 250 miles and continuing through at least 1,814 miles as of March 18, 2026. Symptoms observed: Doors locking autonomously without any input while occupants are entering or exiting the vehicle System falsely detecting the key fob as being inside the vehicle when it is in the owner's pocket outside, causing the truck to refuse to lock Touch-lock refusal at the door handle Random single beeps while the vehicle is parked and locked with no corresponding lock movement Dashboard warning "Key Not Detected" with audible alert while vehicle was in motion (March 18, 2026, approximately 11:06 AM) Dashboard warning "Key Not Detected" with audible alert while attempting to start the vehicle (March 18, 2026, approximately 2:30 PM) Safety concern: On March 18, 2026, a Toyota Brand Engagement Center case manager (case #XXX) confirmed on a recorded call that if the vehicle loses key fob detection while driving and is subsequently shut off, there is a possibility it will not restart even if the owner holds the fob directly to the start button. This creates a real stranding risk on public roads. Additional facts: This defect has never generated a diagnostic trouble code across multiple service visits A full-day diagnostic on March 9, 2026 (RO #XXX) produced no fault codes Immediately after that diagnostic, the vehicle autonomously locked out two Delaney Toyota employees on dealership property — witnessed by the dealership's General Sales Manager and a Product Specialist The identical defect appeared on a prior vehicle, a 2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro (VIN [XXX] ), which was traded in February 2026 with the defect unresolved after three service visits Toyota Corporate case #XXX is currently open INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
