I was wondering this. If this occurs at slow speeds while towing I can see it happening. If it starts happening during regular city driving then I'd be even more concerned.
I understand if you wouldn't do this cuz it's a pain in the ass dealing with some of these dealerships but if you are able to bring your Tacoma into the dealer and have them check the ROB and report the overheating instance as an official TAS case to Toyota, that would help Toyota realize I'm...
Just took the 4Runner up a mountain on a narrow, paved road and the tranny temps started going up again so I put it in S mode (S2) which helped though it still got a little warm. I was going around 15- 20 mph (it was a narrow winding mountain road, so I wanted to avoid any head-on collisions)...
The first dealer I went to didn't find it in the ROB either. I have no idea why one found it and the other one didn't. Either way yes, it's a bigger Toyota problem.
Try another dealer. You'll see my post on a previous page. I had to take it to three dealers before I found one that created a TAS case with Toyota based off what they found in the ROB. They never had to see it actually happen.
Just got the 4Runner back from the second dealer. They ran a health check and found no fault codes. They then ran the Record of Behavior (ROB) and found the two instances of high transmission temps. The first dealer I went to did not find this. The dealer that did created a Technical...
Has anyone found a dealer who could replicate this issue? I am bringing my 4Runner to another one this weekend to try and replicate it and I have an open case with Toyota. I'd like to try and connect my Toyota case person with any other dealers that have been able to replicate.
Thanks yea so I took mine to the dealer and same response as above, there is no code and they couldn't figure it out and to check with Toyota on any additional software codes, so I called Toyota and they said they have nothing additional so basically the response I got was that there is nothing...
Thanks! I mentioned this to the dealership to help explain the situation. Unfortunately for me the 4Runners don't have manual mode. They said to open up a case with Toyota so that Toyota can share software information with them that they apparently don't otherwise have access to. So that is...
I have and it lasts longer but eventually still get hot. Since the 2025 4Runner doesn't have manual option this seems to work best right now besides putting it in 4L (which is stupid and unnecessary)
Just got a new 2025 OR Hybrid 4Runner (~2,000 miles), drove it from Colorado back to California mostly off-road and am having the exact same issues, with no extra load. Happens in 2 and 4H. Tow mode helps. On roading is fine. I am bringing it to the dealer tomorrow to see what they say.
