“2014 Toyota Tundra with 180,000 miles. The gear shifter will not come out of park at times when brake is pressed. I have gotten in the truck many times to leave my house and when I press the brake to take it out of park it will not unlock the shifter. I have to press and release the brake a few times before the shifter is unlocked.”

The vehicle was parked in a residential driveway and on 07/07/2014 returned to the vehicle and saw that there was a pool of fluid under the parked vehicle. Upon examination I found that the vehicle had leaked a large amount of transmission fluid. …”
NHTSA complaint #10609698, filed 2014-07, 10 miles“When you first start the vehicle and put it in drive, within 20 seconds at any speed, a loud ping/metal hitting metal sound comes from the rear gear differential box. It happens everytime at any takeoff speed. Toyota and my dealer do not believe there is a problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10744820, filed 2015-07, 9,000 miles“First the break keeps broken. I was told the master cylinder for the break needs to be replaced. This is after I spend thousands to work on breaks at dealer. Second, the window does not close. I thought it might be caused by a broken breaker BUT, none of the breaker is bad. Thirdly, the most frustrated thing is the transmission fails to work. The truck is dead on the street. I sent the truck to dealer to replace the transmission to a new one. After it is done. …”
NHTSA complaint #11449491, filed 2022-01“The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Tundra. When the key was removed from the ignition switch, the gear shifter moved out of gear and caused the vehicle to roll away. In addition, when depressing the brake pedal, the gear shifter failed. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was liquid on the gear shifter, which caused the failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.”
