Transmission failure at 2,600 mi under low speed. The vehicle lost momentum and revved before catching gear causing an intense jerk feeling like it had been rear-ended. Immediately following the jolt multiple errors were displayed across the dash including Drive-Start Control Malfunction, PKSB System Malfunction, Hybrid System Malfunction, DRCC & PCS system malfunction screens along with orange indicators for the brake system warning, driving assist, DRCC & PCS.

Owner report 11617383 · 2024-10-01 (October 1, 2024)
The vehicle hesitates on flat roads at steady speed. The hesitation is noticable especially at around 25mph. The hesitation seems to be strong with the air conditioning on, and while in drive. When the gear is manually selected and the air conditioning is off, the hesitation is less noticeable. Hesitation is particularly strong and erratic when the engine and transmission are cold and the vehicle is going up a a steady incline with a gradual acceleration.

Owner report 11640283 · 2025-02-03 (February 3, 2025)
Brakes are squealing when in reverse. This was a known issue with 2022-2024 Toyota Tundra's. The service bulletin was number T-SB-0043-24 to change out front rotors and brake pads and mounting hardware. After that no more squeal. It was coming from the front end when backing up. The same issue is occurring on the 2024-2025 Toyota Land Cruiser's. I have attached 2 videos showing the squeal. After the vehicle has not been driven for a day or two, on a cold start and placing the vehicle in reverse, when backing out of the driveway and turning th…

Owner report 11631225 · 2024-12-17 (December 17, 2024)
I am writing to express my concern regarding an incident that occurred during my visit to Suburban Toyota of Farmington Hills, Michigan on [XXX], around 3 PM EST. I was there to test drive a brand new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser (VIN: [XXX] ). During the test drive, I noticed the vehicle had an empty gas tank with only 7 miles of range left. I stopped at a BP gas station and discovered that my salesperson, No’ah Edwards, had sent me on the test drive without a vehicle key, using only the remote start. This meant that if the vehicle had stopped for…
