2024 - Hybrid system malfunction, drive start control malfunction

[p123052]

Accelerating from a stop sign, the truck went into neutral, the engine rived up, and malfunction lights started flashing. Had the truck towed to the dealer. The dealer thinks I put the truck into park?! And can’t find any issues “it’s a new car with a new system. These glitches happen”.

The truck has 800 miles on the clock

Has anyone seen this issue?

Regardless if you inadvertently put the truck into park, I would not think this error should occur. This said, I would not be terribly concerned unless it happens again. Be sure to have the dealer document the failure, just in case it reoccurs, and, perish the thought, you have to invoke the lemon law of your state. Thankfully, you took a photo. BTW, welcome to the forum from a native of your city/state. (Left in 1963)

Happened to me at about 70 miles. Exact same thing. I limped home, charged the 12v battery and it has not happened again. I'm ~5500 right now

Now that is interesting! One would think the vehicle would be charging the 12V battery if needed, and certainly not going into electric-only mode, shutting down the engine.

Happened to me. Wouldn’t get out of 2nd gear afterwards. Just let it sit and codes cleared and problem stopped. The evening before it drove fine but warning lights still were on.

I think because mine had sat at the port so long that the battery was discharged. It took quite some time for my charger to fill it up. I don't think toyota put the best 12v battery in there as well

It’s happening to me as I sit here and type. I’m at 5000 miles and just what you described happened with the added bonus of the cabin filling up with gas fumes. I mean, run you out of the car fumes.

First time Land Cruiser owner. Picked up 1958 model last night. Drove it this morning, same dash lights as above. Right back to dealer. They didn't have a good answer....but vaguely said it needed a new part. The truck can't get any newer.....Ill post what the diagnostics show

Hello there,
I had that same experience at 1000 miles. Unfortunately it was the transmission, then the hybrid system was compromised. I just received the LC (2024) from the dealer yesterday after 2 months. I initially thought it was a glitch but no. They found metal shavings in transmission.

Unfortunately similar situation happened to me. Towed to dealer and they kept LC for more than a week but couldn’t duplicate the issue.

Glad you got your LC back. Did they pinpoint what caused the metal shavings? Where it was manufactured or the cleanup process wasn't done somewhere else, etc.....?

Can I ask what mileage you are at? Since they couldn't duplicate do you have it back and it's behaving normal again?

Not sure if this is correct info but this is what someone else posted about the transmission failures in the 2024 tacomas that may also be affecting the LC transmission failures ??

Issue happened at 458 miles. Current odometer is 2,637. No problems since…..but I still think about it every time I pull out of the garage.

I hope it doesn't come back.
