What owners report
Owners of this model year most often describe transmission complaints: delayed or harsh engagement when shifting from reverse to drive or on a cold start, lurching, and hunting for gears, with many reports filed at very low mileage. A second cluster involves the third brake light seal letting rain water into the cab, and several owners also describe melted seat-heater connectors and rear differential oil leaks tied to a recall.
- Transmission and drivetrain
Delayed or harsh automatic transmission engagement
- 80 complaints (25%)
- median 7,600 mi at 1.0 yrs old (54 state mileage)
- 2 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2016–2024
Owners describe a pause of a second or more after selecting drive or reverse, followed by the truck revving and then lunging forward when the gear engages. Others report hard or clunky upshifts, hunting between gears, a driveline clunk when stopping, or in manual-transmission trucks difficulty getting out of gear after extended highway driving. Several say the dealer told them the behavior was normal or that other trucks on the lot did the same. Mostly reported under about 15,000 miles, often on cold starts or after highway driving.
What to check: Drive the truck from a cold start and shift between reverse and drive a few times, feeling for delays or lurching; also drive at highway speed and note any vibration under coasting or braking, which a TSB addresses.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“When starting the vehicle in the morning (30-40 deg f) I let the truck warm up until the the thermostat needle begins to move. When I put the truck into reverse the engine rpms surge and then a second or two later the truck will engage reverse and the truck will often lurch rearward unexpectedly. When put into drive the same thing happens. …”
NHTSA complaint #10836816, filed 2016-02, 600 miles“When driving on the highway the acceleration is erratic. I will press on the accelerator to get to a cruising speed (this happens anywhere between 40-60 MPH) and the vehicle suddenly accelerates and the tachometer jumps from between 2000 and 3000 to the upper 4000 ? 5000 range. Additionally, when I have the car in cruise control, it does the same thing when going up hills. …”
NHTSA complaint #10917788, filed 2016-10, 6,500 miles - Other or unknown
Rear differential oil leak (recall campaign)
- 128 complaints (40%)
- median 15,150 mi at 1.7 yrs old (60 state mileage)
- owner-quoted repair $3,750 (median of 6 quotes)
- filed 2016–2026
Owners report oil leaking where the rear differential carrier meets the axle housing, which was covered by a recall on certain 2016-2017 trucks. Many complaints are about the repair process rather than the leak itself: trucks held at the dealer for weeks or months waiting for parts, and at least one owner told the recall was marked done while the leak continued. Mostly reported between about 14,000 and 25,000 miles, shortly after the recall was announced.
What to check: Check for oil weeping around the rear axle housing and differential, and ask for documentation that recall 17V285000 was completed.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“I took my truck to the dealer for recall no. 17v-285 on may 15, 2017. It remains there for 3 and half months with no date for completing the repair (due to part not available, I was told). During the wait, I received another recall notice, 17v-356. The length of the wait is unreasonable. I would like NHTSA to help the address and remedy the situation thank you.”
NHTSA complaint #11019865, filed 2017-08, 15,000 miles“Recall for rear differential leak. Upon inspection tech found rear diff leaking parts on order. Performance Toyota grounded my vehicle and parts were ordered on 8/22/17. Took my vehicle back from dealership and to this day, still no word on the parts. Something sticks....recall on my truck and then have no parts to fix it and then tell me that you are not responsible for damage in result of vehicle being driven.”
NHTSA complaint #11023488, filed 2017-09, 13,938 miles - Seats
Seat heater connector or amplifier melts
- 34 complaints (10%)
- median 53,000 mi at 4.4 yrs old (19 state mileage)
- 5 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2016–2026
Owners describe the driver's seat heater stopping while the switch light still works, then finding the connector or amplifier under the seat scorched or melted, sometimes with a burning electrical smell noticed while driving. Some mention a bulletin covering a related repair within a mileage limit and were told their truck was outside it. Typically reported between about 27,000 and 78,000 miles; several well past the 36,000-mile mark.
What to check: Turn on both seat heaters and confirm they warm; if a seat stays cold, inspect the connector and amplifier under the seat for discoloration or a melted plug before buying.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“I noticed when my driver seat heater was in the on position, the seat was not heating up. Electrical wiring/connector for the heated seat module located under the driver seat overheated or arced causing the connector (s) to melt posing a safety/fire hazard and rendering the heated seat inoperable. Tsb from Toyota covers this up to 3years/36,000 miles. Mileage at time of failure: 61,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #11319165, filed 2020-03, 61,000 miles“Driver’s side front seat not delivering heat despite switch lamp indicating it’s on and working. Further exploration reveals passenger side seat heater working as it should. I checked wiring harness and connections under driver’s seat only to discover plastic connector entering amplifier scorched and melted with two of four pins destroyed (Red and Green wires).

NHTSA complaint #11505879, filed 2023-02, 135,998 miles - Exterior lighting
Third brake light seal leaks water into the cab
- 82 complaints (25%)
- median 22,379 mi at 1.8 yrs old (48 state mileage)
- 2 mention a crash, fire or injury
- owner-quoted repair $3,000 (median of 5 quotes)
- filed 2016–2026
Owners report water entering the rear of the cab around the cab-mounted third brake light, soaking the headliner, seats and carpet and sometimes producing a musty smell or mildew. Cabin vents at the rear quarter have also been described as fracturing and letting water in. Complaints say the dealer often could not help or declined responsibility, though some reference a bulletin for the stop lamp leak. Reported from roughly 15,000 to 80,000 miles, most often noticed during heavy rain.
What to check: Look at the headliner and carpet behind and below the third brake light for water stains or mildew, and check after a rain or with a hose; ask whether the high-mount stop lamp has been resealed.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“The rear cargo/3rd brake light on the top of the cab seal is broken and water leaks in to the rear cab and satin in the headliner. I have looked up this problem and there seems to be many complaints. I called Toyota headquarters after getting my truck serviced for a recall item and the dealer said they could not help even knowing that there is a TSB 0055-18.”
NHTSA complaint #11329160, filed 2020-06, 82,000 miles“During heavy rainfall, back driver side gets wet. I noticed this back in march and called the dealership. They asked me to call back in a week because they were closing due to covid. I've had medical issues since then and haven't been able to contact them. But I'll try to tomorrow. Now the water from the rains are getting to the middle between the two seats. Smells bad. I feel that the seat foams are bad. And it's growing mildew on the bottom left side (on the carpet) under the driver side back seat. …”
NHTSA complaint #11352121, filed 2020-08, 59,000 miles - Engine
Engine stall with crank position sensor
- 23 complaints (7%)
- median 15,406 mi at 1.9 yrs old (17 state mileage)
- filed 2015–2026
Owners describe the engine shutting off while driving or after a restart, sometimes with the check engine and traction-control lights on and a high transmission temperature message. Some traced the pattern to the crank position sensor recall and found their truck was not covered by it; others describe gas cap or fuel line issues that set similar warning lights. Reported from about 15,000 miles up past 100,000 miles, sometimes after off-road driving.
What to check: Ask whether recall 17V356000 has been performed, and check that the truck starts promptly and idles steadily on a test drive; a scan for stored codes can show a pending crank sensor fault.

“My wife and I drove from austin texas to arkadelphi arkansas due to me getting out of the army'active' and my truck had been slowly studderjng, spitting etc.. Well it is stalled at a parking lot for a week now.. There is a recall for the 'crankshaft position sensor' for my exact mode and Toyota will not honor my truck for it and that's the code it's reading etc..”
NHTSA complaint #11157209, filed 2018-12, 73,000 miles“Off-roading, restarted vehicle after a stop. Check engine light came on as well as trac off illuminated. Tried to drive forward and truck stalled and message said high transmission temp. Goggled issue to discover a recall for crank position sensor failure. Looked up my VIN and I don't have that recall although I have the stated year and model. Had this happened while driving on road it could have caused an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11321537, filed 2020-04, 120,700 miles
Buying note. Check the third brake light seal and rear carpet for water, test both seat heaters and look under the seats for melted connectors, and confirm the rear differential recall was completed. A long, mixed test drive including a cold start is the best way to judge whether the transmission behavior is acceptable to you.
