Class Action Lawsuit Filed For Bad Tacoma Transmissions

[TRD JON]

Sooooo apparently some dude filed a class action against Toyota for his Tacomas failing transmission. I'm curious to see how this pans out for him since Toyota has already announced the issue, a remedy to fix, and also his truck is under warranty. So, I'm interested to see how this pans out for him. I'll level the link below and here is a quote from the article.

Tacoma models can fail to shift into gear, enter limp mode, or engage harshly, leading to damage that can cause the entire gearbox to fail. Furthermore, it’s also alleged that the transmissions and torque converters offered by Toyota as replacements are also defective.

According to Syed, he owns a 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport that began acting up with under 100 miles on the odometer. As he slowed for a stop sign, he says the transmission violently downshifted and jerked between gears. Then, accelerating from the stop, he noticed a delay, sloppy engagement, and a jolt that didn’t exactly inspire confidence. Syed says he’s experienced this unpleasant sequence ten to fifteen times since buying the truck.
