Transmission Failures Keep Coming

[maxx075]

right.

give us a % of actual failures for realistic context.

I'll let you call up Toyota and do that for yourself. I'm not in the business of spoon feeding information.

Point is you'd NEVER get an answer from Toyota as to what the failure rate is compared to amount of units sold.

Wow and some of these are past the tsb list numbers

How can you tell? When I view the list, the numeric portion of the VIN is redacted in every complaint.

Assuming a truck bought in September or October is well passed the initial list of trucks on the tsb. They were early builds

Mine has an 08/24 build date and just falls within the TSB. Purchased it mid September

So you're basing the claim of vehicles outside the TSB range on the dates of the complaints? That's no proof at all that these VINS are outside the TSB range. In other words, there is no direct evidence of a failure outside the TSB range at this point.

Less than 1% failure rate I’m estimating currently, I’m not worried and have warranty. If not happy with my first Toyota I’ll go back to GM.
My ‘98 Yukon was sold at 250k miles (400k km) with no major issues, my ‘98 Silverado 4x4 was sold at over 180k miles (289k km). Both had original motor and transmission, regular maintenance mostly. Yukon had a transfer case go. I got one used and put in for $150.
Toyota has a great reputation so I expect my Tacoma will be as good as my GM’s.

I purchased in early June and mine is past the TSB.

So 39 complaints, how many have been sold?

about 126,000 as of Sept 30, 2024

So what's that - 0.03%?

Ok. Seems to be a lot of general worrying. I’m too old to worry about things without a concrete reason and no one seems to be able to give one.

Mechanical systems always fail. That will never change. A certain percentage will fail earlier. A certain percentage will never fail. The greater percentage will last roughly as long as the design lifespan. My guess on the transmission that’s around a decade and 200,000 kms or 125,000 miles.

I guess my advice is if it’s to the point that you’re losing sleep don’t by a mechanical system like a truck. Sleep is important.

Right? I will worry when my truck has an issue. Its been fantastic.

A lot more important things to lose sleep on

If my dealer and Toyota give me the go around next week for my trucks shifting and other transmission complaints I’m gonna pay for them to drop the transmission pan, I’d guarantee it has metal debris

You had the older GM that lasted a long time. Been a GM fan for 40 years, but my last 3 didn't last 200,000 kms without bent push rods and failed lifters. 2019, 2021 and a 2022 Silverados, all had transmission issues before 100k miles. The 2021 was a buyback. My 2009 Tacoma has 310k miles and still on original drive train and zero break downs.
