Toyota answered with ECM recalibration TSB T-SB-0077-16 ('Shift Feeling Enhancements') and follow-ups (T-SB-0058-18 surge, T-SB-0124-20 deceleration vibration). The reflashes genuinely help but don't make it a smooth transmission. Hardware failures are rare. TSB T-SB-0077-16 Rev1; T-SB-0058-18; T-SB-0124-20. Typical cost: Free under warranty / 8-yr 80k emissions coverage; ~$150 reflash otherwise. 5 more issues are reported in other 2016-2023 years: Rear differential oil leak. Carrier can seize (recall) (2016-2017); V6 crank-sensor stalling (recall) (2016-2017 (3.5L V6)); Denso low-pressure fuel pump failure (recall) (2018-2020); A/C stops cooling at idle in extreme heat (2016-2021); Blower motor noise/failure (2016-2017) (2016-2017).
