I’m know the ugggg in your stomach you are feeling. It’s mind blowingly frustrating and disappointing. All I can think is I am glad we are getting this fix now and out of the way before our warranty is up… and the mad rush of new LC owners who are going to experience this floods the dealerships. A rough way to experience a brand new vehicle but I genuinely hope this will address the problem for good.
That sucks! Did they provide you any kind of root cause analysis?
No, I have no answers yet as to what has gone wrong. I assume I will get more details once the replacement is completed. They have been quite tight lipped with me. I know my dealership is shocked as they did say they haven’t ever had this issue even with the known Tacoma issue. I had my vehicle for 6wks and was on my way home from a 5000km road trip thru Wa/Or/Ca and back to Alberta. When I dropped it off at the dealership a few wks back it had 5500kms on it (about 3400 miles)
It seems Toyota on the Tacoma was saying the transmission problems were debris related and was only certain production runs. The TSB if got a selenoid code got a new transmission. In the Tacoma forums early signs were that the car would stick in one gear. You would come to a stop and you would be in 6th gear all the time
For those that got the transmission issues early signs seems different engine wouldn't shut off at a stop light? I'm curious if the LC transmission manufacturing lined up with the bad transmission production runs with debris? Are people that had issues the FE models? Or if the Line Pressure Control Assembly is a new problem as has different module than in the Tacoma based on forum here? It seems in general if you are going to have issues will be in the first 5K miles at least will be under warranty?
