2024 Power Steering Problems

Hi
I received my Tacoma in early March and drove less than 200 miles..noticed noise I steering..dealer says needs to replace power steering assembly..no parts available..Toyota care not helpful..seems unwilling to take a part from the assembly line..In Limbo..disappointed in Toyota..Could be months before I can drive my new truck

 

After 30 days you can get it bought back and you’re out 0 dollars. And at that point there will likely be incentives on new ones anyways. It’s not as bad as it seems

 

Thank you I didn’t realize that

 

Uh, oh. Thanks for taking one for the team!

 

In the past I've seen dealers trade it out for another model if the wait is too severe. Loads of 2022 Tundras had this issue, some took new trucks, some rejected. You'll need to keep composure, but pressure on the dealer and Toyota.

 

Interesting, Thank you. The dealer wanted a part off the line..Toyota not so much..

 

I don’t know that that happens.

 

What state are you in?

 

New Hampshire, but got the truck in Massachusetts

You’re in luck. They have 15 business days. Document EVERYTHING.

 

Thank you

 

It’ll be great. Just wait…

 

Ask them for a Tundra loaner to drive until your Tacoma is repaired.

 

Yes the dealer gave me a Rav 4 to drive, dealer has been good, trying to get Toyota to get it done

 

This will be worth the wait, I can feel it. This will be epic. Just wait.

 

Really? I’m pretty active on the tundra forum and don’t think I’ve seen a single tundra need a new power steering assembly. Or get a new truck from it?? There is a power steering code that was common for a bit, but required no parts to fix. Was just some software hiccup.

 

The noise was coming from the steering wheel, the dealer had there best mechanic on it and consulted with Toyota engineers prior to the diagnosis of replacing the unit. Hopefully it’s a fluke, and more people don’t have this problem. The truck was one of the first few hundred made.

 

Engine failure, not rack and pinion. A fair amount of tundras spun bearings.

 

Ah, thought we were talking about power steering failure in this thread. Yeah, 2022’s and a handful of 2023’s have spun the main. Seems to have stopped around early 2023 builds though.

 

Sucky situation sir. Heres to easy solution.

But Q the TW my gen is the best gen music….
