Shift lever broke while driving

Anyone ever seen this? Shift lever broke while doing 25mph on residential road what the ???? And nobody except a Toyota dealer has a replacement.

 

Not in my Tacoma but i did one of those the other day

 

Need the rest of the story.

 

Are you the first owner?

or this guy?

 

niceeeee move. Im going for my permit next week!!

 

Toyota says this is normal.

 

Main problem is built in Japan transmission. Mexico and USA Toyota operations would never let this kinda crap hit the streets.

 

Can you get a more in focus pic of the break?

 

I’m not a shift jammer at all. 2017 taco sr. I drive only a few miles to work and back and no highway. Seems like defective metal. I already went thru 2 speedometers when brand new cause the gauges where sticking and dealer didn’t believe me the second time until I had to show them. They said they have never seen that before and now one parts dept said he never heard of shifter breaking. Hey never seen problems Ives had until I bring my truck in. Or are they just sYing that. I’m original owner and nobody had driven my truck except to get serviced.

 

More focused

 

looks like some overcooked steel. Manufacturing defect, just shitty luck of the draw

 

The weird shit has to happen to somebody.
My '06 TRD OR dropped the linkage to the passenger's side wiper just as it met the driver's side wiper. They tangled, f'd up all of the linkage, arms AND blades. Can't get JUST the linkage - gotta get the motor as well.
Hopefully you won't have to get the tranny just to get the lever.

 

Just went out of warranty too

 

Worth arguing with them. That's not something that should happen on a 3rd gen

 

It’s easy to install but the problem is getting the part fast and not in a few weeks. Now it sits.

 

That is strange

The blueing is curious.

 

Ya. It’s not what I expect a break to look like inside

 

Too bad it’s a 5-speed, perfect opportunity to upgrade to a core shifter.

 

No doubt about that. If the dealer won't back ya, I'd be writing to Corporate.
Hope your replacement comes in quick.
