MORE 2024 Tacoma Transmission Failures AND Suspension Problems.

Can Toyota right the ship? Will the Tacoma end up being reliable over time or is it doomed to the path of the Tundra?

The 2024 Tacoma has been well received by some owners but it has some growing pains. I do hope they fix these issues.

They moved manufacturing to reduce their cost. They jacked up the prices of the Tacoma. And it looks like they still cut quality. Pretty sad Toyota.

Just picked up a 2024 Tacoma OR last Friday. I brought it home, the car had fluid leaking from the front differential the next morning. I called the dealer, they said they can’t get me in to diagnose the problem until next week. Sales managers and salesman won’t call me back. I am not driving the truck right now out of caution. Terrible. There’s a reason they are desperate to sell these things. I’m embarrassed to even admit this, but yeah, don’t buy one of these trucks.

Let me add to the bad news. My buddy is a service advisor for Toyota. They are having a large number of failures on the Tacoma's starter. More specifically the solenoid. It's leaving customers stranded with no way to start the truck. It's become so prevalent that the solenoids are on backorder and the trucks are sitting at dealerships waiting on the part to come off backorder.

New Toyota is quickly destroying the rep that Old Toyota built through decades of hard work. For those that don't know, I say new Toyota, because in the last 10yrs a lot of the old Toyota bosses retired or stepped down, with a new generation taking. Essentially meaning Toyota is a whole different company now.

Toyota is like the rest of this world now lost

Ouch! These trucks have been legendary for so long. Sad to see the way they are going.

As a current 2018 Tacoma owner I now have to say good bye Toyota.

[swirvin]

This is why I bought my 2024 5th Gen 4Runner. The last of a legend.

Meanwhile my 20' Frontier with the first year vq38 and 9 speed remains.... absolutely perfect.

My question is this, if theyre replacing the transmissions with the exact same part….why would you assume this wouldnt happen again??

[garyrosine]

It will be years for Toyota to recover. Obviously, the quality control they were famous for is gone. It's not just engineering but the manufacturing and quality of parts used in such have sunk to new lows.

The only reason people went to Toyota was the reliability. Without that, they really don’t have much to lean on…

Makes me appreciate my 1987 Toyota pickup. It will survive the apocalypse.

My coworker just bought his wife a 2024 Toyota land cruiser. At 700 miles it is having serious electrical issues. At one point it wouldn’t shift out of 1st gear and now the screen just stays off.

Thank you for not being a shill like TuRD Jon.

These trucks are just poorly engineered. After watching the car care nut video on the TRD PRO I'm just shocked at how bad these trucks are. Frame sliders that are hooked up to the body?! These other guys blowing through a shock on not very difficulty offroading. The pop heard around the world on TFL's truck. My guess is the hybrid system is so expensive that their doing everything they can to cut corners to keep the price from close to six figures. And their still stupid expensive.

Toyota has been going down hill for a while! People grew up being socially constructed to think they are amazing, but if you are not a toyota fan boy you know better!

[jonesjones]

No bump stop AND a cheap, low quality shock top hat that cracks into pieces when the "offroad" truck hits a pot hole any car could handle.

Come on toyota, you can cut some corners, you can't cut EVERY corner.

I’ve been looking to get a tacoma but after doing my research, I concluded toyota is having too many quality and design issues. Gave up on toyota and got frontier pro4x instead…100% happy with my decision.

Keeping my old Tacoma for far longer than expected.
