Was told the electric pump housed within the transmission failed and is not sold separately so I need a whole new transmission. No ETA on when that may actually happen. When I shifted from Park into Reverse, Neutral and Drive and then back into Park I get a horrible screeching sound and was told that the truck is not safe to drive.

Distance between the road and the underside of the wheel arches in the rear differs by 1.25 inches. Rear sagging to the left. Left rear spring weaker than right rear. Accentuated body lean when taking a right hand turn. Same load over each wheel causes more compression on the left spring versus the right spring. Toyota states the right to left is equal...this is not case.

My LC LC has 31k miles. This morning, I do what I always do when finishing an outing. Put the vehicle in park, turn it off, and get out. Today, the inside door handle would not let me out. It was like it was disconnected altogether. The door was unlocked. That being said, I unlocked and locked sever times. Still wouldn't let me out. I eventually put down the window, pulled once and twice on the outside door handle, wouldn't release, third time, released.

Is 27 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2024 and 2026, roughly 21 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2024 has 27 complaints on file, more than the 2025 (16). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
