2022 Toyota Tacoma Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Transmission pops out of 2nd gear everyday after setting on level ground. I have questioned Toyota about the fluid levels, which they say its a sealed unit and cant be checked. It takes about 20 feet before the transmission rengages. It only happens when the transmission temperature is cold, then does not happen again. This can leave me without any power. Toyota has checked the vehicle twice and cannot duplicate the issue. The issue started shortly after i bought the vehicle.”

“Transmission is failing, fluid was black and burnt at 35k miles (dealer did not provide a large enough sample to allow for testing the fluid because I didn't specify the amount I needed), and vehicle is not throwing a CEL or MIL so therefore Toyota says that there is no defect. Fluid change did improve the functioning, but it did not correct the problem. Transmission failures are a known problem on numerous Toyota vehicles using an A series transmission. My vehicle has done this and progressively worsened since it had roughly 500 miles on it. …”

“When stopped on an hill and depressing the throttle lightly the Hill Assist disengages and allows the vehicle to roll backwards. The 1st time this occurred I had a trailer in drive and it rolled backwards breaking a taillight in a jack-knife situation. I took the vehicle to my dealership were the vehicle was checked and no problem was found. They refused to replaced the tail light as no problem was found. The 2nd time was in congested traffic moving at a snails pace. On a steep hill stop and start traffic. …”

“My 2022 Tacoma has 1200 miles on it. While turning a corner I slowed down to make the turn when I pushed on the pedal to speed back up there was no response from the engine. It was dark outside and my dash lit up like the key was turned off. I kind of panicked and began pumping the pedal thinking I was out of gas. The fuel gage showed 3/4 an after 3 or 4 seconds it started back up. A week or so before I was at a red light when it turned green I tried to accelerate, the engine hesitated again like it was out of gas. I pumped the pedal but no response. …”

“The contact owned a 2022 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, upon reaching his destination, shifting the vehicle into the park position, and exiting, the vehicle began to roll away. The driver was unable to stop the vehicle, and as a result, the vehicle rolled off the roadway, coming to a complete stop at the bottom of a 25-foot embankment. The vehicle's location required specialized recovery, and upon extracting the vehicle, the recovery specialist confirmed that the shifter was shifted into the park position. All air bags were deployed. …”
