New 2024 TRD Off Road won’t start

So pulled into the grocery store tonight in my 2024 Tacoma TRD OFF Road and when I headed back out it would not start. Literally tried everything. Different key fob, used app for remote start, nothing worked. Anyone else run into this? Just bough in July.

 

Should state, new member, first post, obviously here looking for answers.

 

How does it not start? Dash doesn’t light up, lights up but doesn’t crank, cranks but doesn’t fire, etc.

 

Did you try to jump it?

Possibly sitting too long on dealer lot and battery is low on juice.

 

Batteries die on new and old vehicles, you gotta try boosting it.

 

All lights come on, screens, heat blows, just no engine action at all. No crank.

 

Have you tried jumping it, though??

Any car with a low/dead battery can still run radio, dash lights, fans..

 

could still be the battery...

 

Check battery fluid level - that might be the problem. I am assuming the 2024 battery is not maintenance free.

 

It's probably the battery. Is your gear selector in park? I can't recall if you still get acc power when the geat slector is in park.

Don't forget how long your truck sat at the dealer and the amount of time your truck coould of sat due to Quality Control, and how old was the battery when your truck was built.

With the amount of tech in new vehicles they could benefit from a better electrical system.

Does push to start require any more power to start a vehicle? I don't like that many domestic vehicles the lights come on soon as you turn the vehicle over that isn't going to help if the voltage is low.


Have you tried pushing the start button with any of the fobs?

It's probably just the joys of modern vehicles to many electronic do dads and OEM quality batteries.

 

Its a new truck, waste of time & not necessary....
If he jumps it & it starts....
Off to the dealer for a warranty battery!

 

I would try jiggling the shift lever and stomping on the brake pedal a few times in case one of those switches isn’t quite making contact.

 

Hopefully just your battery, this quick dealer should take care of it. If not, there cheap enough.

 

Don't the new vehicles come with roadside assistance?

Time to exercise it?

 

^^^This.

Since when should one have to buy a new battery for a 5-month old truck?

 

Never, I have never had a battery die within the first few years on a new vehicle. The one on my current Tacoma lasted ~7 years. However, I am not going to kick & scream and bitch on the internet over a dead battery, when one can grab it go on your merry way for ~$160.00

 

I don't characterize the OP's initial post as kick, scream, and bitch on the internet; I also don't see the justification for spending $160 for something a truck, that I just spent $50k on, should have that lasts longer than 5 months. But you do you.

 

I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler with the auto start stop. It has 2 different batteries in it. Both failed within 9 months of buying it. Neither one has failed since I replaced them with non OEM batteries.

 

If you have a bad battery, Toyota should give you a new battery free. I got a free new battery at 33 months into my 36 month warranty because of a bad cell.

 

Oh - so you're "obviously here looking for answers" instead of Toyota? I get it.
