Dec 22, 2023 at 13:54 comment added HJRW A small remark. The word "atoroidal" has two different meanings in 3-manifold topology: no essential embedded torus and no essential "immersed" torus. Examples that are atoroidal in the first sense are easier to write down (although not necessarily hyperbolic): you can use Brieskorn spheres, Seifert-fibred spaces fibring over hyperbolic triangle orbifolds.
Dec 22, 2023 at 13:47 comment added HJRW Can I suggest replacing "some pathology" in the title with "Property FA"? It's just as short and completely precise!

Dec 16, 2023 at 18:15 comment added Peter Kropholler @AGenevois yes that is right: an explicit example of a non-Haken hyprbolic closed 3-manifold would answer my question. So a natural question arises: is the Seifert--Weber dodecahedral space Haken.
Dec 16, 2023 at 16:13 comment added AGenevois In arxiv:2312.08913, it is mentioned that a theorem of Stallings shows that, given a closed, orientable, aspherical 3-manifold $M$, $\pi_1(M)$ has property FA iff $M$ is non-Haken. So it seems that your question amounts to finding explicit examples of non-Haken hyperbolic closed 3-manifolds.
