They been dropping the ball really bad lately

Yup, time will tell. I really wonder when mine will completely fail and who knows maybe it won’t fail but it dam sure falls in line with the symptoms of all those that have failed

Replacing the transmission is pretty simple for an A tech pretty cut and dry and not much that could be don’t wrong. As for the radiator and things that need to be removed to access it like little clips and harness retainers ehhhh real cringe. Only quality techs care about stuff like that

I can’t stand the idea of a dealership doing anything to my truck. Especially messing with any painted body parts or trim to access the radiator and plumbing. As a collision repair tech I know how much finesse it takes, I do it daily but mechanics don’t.

A kinda the reason I’m hesitant on taking mine in right now, I’m hoping it holds out until Toyota completely figures out what’s going on and there is a official beyond doubt fix

My truck is gonna need a transmission soon and I’m hoping it doesn’t fail before the strike ends. Could be months and months before the dealer can get a new one.

I don’t know but that’s how it starts… I thought the same thing. Who the hell knows what the answer is at this point

One of the symptoms, welcome to the club.

Thanks man I’m just dreading dealing with the dealer, but it looks like I gotta just bring it in. Is what it is. Keep you posted when I do

Could you elaborate on what exactly yours was doing prior to taking it in?

In all fairness there might have been miscommunication , I haven’t taken my truck into the dealership yet. Reason being from past expierence I always am told “normal characteristic of vehicle” and I just leave furious. This might be different but the problem is it does sometimes shift decent

Lol good idea! I love the truck man I’m just pissed I gotta go through this crap with so many grey areas

So they replace your transmission ? Is it much smoother with the new trans? Was yours doing the shudder/vibration from the rear like mine and plumbers first taco?

that’s how mine started, then it turned into hard shifts, weird shifts, vibrations/shudders, clunking It’s just lovely driving around every day in a brand new truck waiting to break down

Yup okay exact same thing, feels like it’s coming from the rear a vibration that quickly goes away. So it never did that again with the new transmission ?

Could you describe the shudder feeling to the best of your abilities I’m really curious if it’s the same shudder I’m feeling. Thank you !

Either there’s a lot of bad trans out there or some of this is a software issue that can be fixed by reprogramming the computer . It’s about time Toyota come clean with us and tell everyone what in the hell is going on here

Well that’s concerning, they are all symptoms of the inevitable failure

And a trail hunter I believe. I’m sure there plenty more as well
