Same with my 2005 Tacoma and with my 2011 Tundra built in San Antonio, TX.

Interesting news. It does seem to me that there have been more problems with Tacos since they moved production to Mexico, but all vehicles seem to have more problems these days. It is also interesting that they will continue production at the Guanajuato plant, and only close the one in Tijuana.

I hope that is all mine is too. It will be out of warranty in September and when it fails I will get a new battery and keep my fingers crossed.

I read that the DC/DC converter that charges the 12V works whenever the ignition is on, no matter what drive it is using, but I don't know if that is true. When I was driving 50 miles round trip every day to work the battery was fine, but I didn't check the actual voltage because it always...

I have had this problem ever since I bought my truck. The dealer says everything is fine and that I need to drive it more. I pointed out that the charge stays low in my 12V no matter how much I drive it, and then they said buy a battery maintainer. We are talking about a new $66k truck here...

Glad to hear that you got your truck back and that it is shifting properly. These transmissions have always been all over the place on shift quality. Some shift perfectly, some shift hard in the low gears when cold, and some shift like crap all of the time. My truck had a lot of bad shifts...

I like Sparks for selection and price. And yeah it has been discussed on the forum multiple times already if you want the full story.

Nobody wants their new truck opened up to get a new transmission, but it is not a complicated repair and I think that was the best outcome. In the long run you will be better off with that rather than some kind of repair. I hope it gets back to you soon and I also hope they gave you a loaner...

Your ECU could have stored codes that would not show up on your information displays. OBD-II code readers are cheap and most major auto part stores will read them for you at no cost. It is worth it to have more ammunition in case your dealer tries lying to you, rather than fixing your truck.

@Someguysomewhere26 You should check for transmission codes, which that kind of behavior might have thrown. In the 2024's the failures were caused by stuck/sticking shift solenoids, which threw specific codes. If you have any of them then Toyota might need to replace that transmission. Good...

Some transmissions do that all of the time, some do it occasionally and some shift just fine. My transmission did that when it was new, but it stopped somewhere around 4-5k miles. It also did some shifts into reverse that were so hard that it felt like backing into something. It has stopped that...

Another good reason to stay away from the dealers. They don't have a clue and charge an arm and a leg for poor service. I would take it to a good independent shop for that price.

I would too. That would solve the problem of nowhere to put stuff inside the cab because of the lack of under seat storage in the hybrid. Maybe an aftermarket solution?

@Benny Is your truck out of the 24 month warranty that covers the battery?

Wow! I'm glad I never disconnect the negative terminal when I trickle charge my truck like Toyota recommends.

A bigger gas tank and a hybrid that can keep its 12 volt charged top my list. I would also love one switch that turned off all of electronic "aids" and just let me use it as a freaking truck and not an electronic version of my Granny.

@Pappy Wow - a 35 gallon factory replacement tank would be awesome. Probably expensive as hell, but it would fix one of the 4th gen's biggest problems IMO.

I don't have the brake recall, just the instrument cluster one. My truck's dash display works fine and I don't intend to let them touch it until I am ready to sell. I have never trusted Toyota service and lately it has gotten a lot worse.

Sometimes my wipers are super quiet, and sometimes they are noisy. They seem worse if I have not driven in the rain for a while. The first time they were making a lot of noise on intermittent I thought it was another one of the endless warning beeps. lol

Easter eggs are a lot less expensive than good engineering.
