The contact owned a 2022 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, upon reaching his destination, shifting the vehicle into the park position, and exiting, the vehicle began to roll away. The driver was unable to stop the vehicle, and as a result, the vehicle rolled off the roadway, coming to a complete stop at the bottom of a 25-foot embankment. The vehicle's location required specialized recovery, and upon extracting the vehicle, the recovery specialist confirmed that the shifter was shifted into the park position. All air bags were deployed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a towed yard and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. A police report was not filed, and no injuries were reported. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 41,000.

I have not personally yet had an issue with this, but I image it is a problem for more than one person. . . . While driving the vehicle (2007 Toyota Tacoma), the shift stick does not require you to press the brake to put the vehicle in reverse, so, if by mistake the shift knob was bumped, knocked, or whatever, it could send the car in reverse (on the freeway?!?!) without the driver's consent. Not good. . .

Automatic transmission pops out of gear going into neutral without shifter moving out of drive.
After driving in wet/heavy snow I cannot shift into reverse or park. Without shifting into park the ignition key cannot be turned all the way off or removed. I had to disconnect the battery cable to prevent the battery from dying while the snow melted.

Drove vehicle down a paved road in the snow. Transmission linkage froze up in drive when vehicle was parked. Had to drive vehicle directly to dealer. Dealer only thawed out the linkage. Now everytime it snows, linkage freezes up.
Tacoma pre runner, shift lever jumps out of gear into 1st into 2nd gear, 2nd into drive, and then drive into neutral on its own. Yh.
