2025 Toyota Tacoma Transmission Problems

Your transmission shifts roughly, especially when slowing down to a stop, and makes a loud clunking noise that feels like something heavy is falling inside. This problem has been present since the vehicle was new.

Your new truck's transmission overheating warning light came on while driving normally on a flat freeway at highway speeds with no extra weight or towing. The dealership says this is caused by normal driving, but you're concerned because you've never experienced this in other vehicles and had to pull over for safety. A transmission fluid cooler or flush may be needed to resolve the overheating issue.

Your 2025 Toyota Tacoma is subject to a recall (Campaign 25V656000) affecting the powertrain, but the dealer told you that replacement parts aren't available yet. You contacted Toyota about the delay, and they've opened a case to explore a potential buyback option since the repair hasn't been completed within a reasonable timeframe. The fix will likely involve replacing powertrain components once parts become available.

When you turned left at low speed while in 4-wheel-drive (4H mode), your Tacoma made a grinding noise from the front and wouldn't move forward.

This issue is consistent with CV joint problems reported in other 2024 and 2025 Tacomas. The dealer has been notified and will inspect the front-wheel drive components.

•What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I purchased a 2025 Toyota Tacoma from Carver Toyota of Columbus, IN, 47280 brand new with only 15 miles. I also purchased the 100,000-mile bumper to bumper warranty that covers third party parts.

You were towing a trailer in Tow/Haul mode on the highway when you stopped at a rest area and turned off the engine. When you restarted and tried to merge back onto the highway, your truck didn't accelerate as quickly as before — you discovered the truck had automatically exited Tow/Haul mode when you shut off the engine, but there was no warning about this change. This unexpected loss of acceleration created a safety concern while merging into traffic.
