My truck, automatic, did rough shifts from the day I got it (low gears). Also leaps at times. Sometimes it fumbles when stoping. Dealer cannot help unless it does it for the tech. Yes, that's what they told me. Had the transmission "reset", but no difference. Still misbehaves.
How many miles?
The sport that i test drove in May did that.
This doesn’t sit right with me. So torgue convertr was the issue . They are gonna put the same one in. Im get my truck next week. And what another 5000 miles and the trans will shit the bed again. Toyota need to really come back with a good explanation. Trucks are not cheap and they have us in really bad situations. 3 weeks in a loaner . I bought a new truck so I wouldn’t have to worry about stuff like this.
It's my understanding that toyota has acknowledged the faulty torque converter and would be issuing a TSB or recall soon about it. My dealership had no intention of replacing the torque converter until Toyota called them about it and told them not to install the transmission without the new torque converter.
Well that’s some good news. I really want to love this truck. I just need the reliability to be there.
There are a lot of us in that same boat. In the long run I trust Toyota to make this right, but meanwhile I think a lot of us will be wondering about the reliability of our new trucks. A TSB and a process to find and fix the affected transmissions would go a long way to restoring our confidence.
Dealer said they can't find anything wrong, the funky rattling, hard park to drive engagements and harsh downshifts in the lower gears are all normal characteristics of the truck. I'm not too sure I'm buying that claim but at least I do have it documented now...
I think could be some truth of it being normal, maybe it’s a software problem
It could be. Mine never reports itself in gears 1 or 2 even when fully stopped (which ironically seem to be the two gears giving me problems). The lowest it ever shows is gear 3 on the dash.
Very strange
