“I was driving on the freeway going 68-70 MPH when I had a sudden loss of power. Vehicle could not maintain speeds and was sluggish while making it over to the side of the road. Vehicle was towed to dealership, which could not initially find anything. Next day after test driving vehicle, it was confirmed that the transmission is broken.”
NHTSA complaint #11609098, filed 2024-08“Transmission shifts rough in the morning from gears 1-2. I get some rough shifts when warmed up as well. With the about of automatic transmissions failing it’s time Toyota tell us what’s going on. How can we be expected to drive a new truck every day and worry about if the trans mission will fail.”
