1 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2025

When attempting to move forward from a stop, there is a momentary delay in the truck responding to stepping on the accelerator pedal. This is a real safety concern when attempting to pull into traffic, as the "dead spot" in the pedal occurs after the truck has already moved forward a few feet, leaving the front end of the truck out in the traffic lane. It appears to be related to the automatic transmission starting in 4th gear, as I can move the shift lever to manual shifting mode and start out in 2nd gear with no hesitation. Once moving I simply move back to drive mode. This has been an ongoing concern, reported from the first service (10k) on my truck, which now has 45k miles. I received the remedy engine at 37k miles under the safety recall. Toyota seems to be aware of the issue, as they flashed the tcm once, which seemed to help briefly, however the problem quickly returned. I am not the only Tundra owner reporting this issue.

2 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2024

At certain times, when coming to a stop, and then attempting to proceed, the throttle with delay or lag from a stop. This has happened since the start of ownership in Feb 2022 up until today. Toyota has issued on previous technical service bulletin (TSB) - t-sb-0111-22 - that Toyota states should resolve an issue with "hesitation from stop and surge concerns". The tcm -transmission control module - logic has been modiwed to address these conditions. According to Toyota, this updated logic should keep this from happening. This TSB was released December 16, 2022. To date, this issue continues to occur. The only way to keep it from happening is to reset the tcm learning. This requires the battery to be unplugged for an extended period of time. There was a subsequent tcm logic update for recall 24ta02 (NHTSA campaign number 24v125000). It would seem that this tcm logic update has actually caused this condition to be present more often. This is something that we have expressed to our service consultant at every visit and it is still occurring over two years later. We have had this happen multiple times while attempting to proceed through a 4-way stop, as well as trying to merge into tra`c in slower moving city streets. There are members of an online forum who have been able to record the data aow and show when and how the delay occurs. Other than December 2022 TSB, Toyota has not acknowledged this issue even though it continues to occur on the my22+ Tundra/my23+ sequoia, as well as the my18+ Lexus LS 500. I am lead to believe this is a result of the programming for the direct shift 10- at from aisin/Toyota and/or the v35a-fts, both type '17 (LS 500) and the type '21 (tundra/ sequoia).
