On 10/18/2024 as I was driving my 2023 Toyota Tundra the engine quit running,after coasting to the burm of the road I got out and check the oil and found it full. I then tried to restart it and it sounded like the bottom half of the engine was coming apart. I had it towed to a nearby Toyota dealer,when they looked at the oil it had metal in it. I had to obtain a rental car under customer pay until the dealer determined what had happened,they informed me that they found a substantial amount of metal in the oil pan,just like the 96000 Toyota tundra’s that have been recalled due to this issue. I requested a new engine,a new truck or a buyback of my truck,I was later contacted by the service manager for the dealership and was told the would be doing a short block rebuild of this engine. My issue with this solution is that it was caused by the same issue that the 96000 other Toyota Tundra’s hav been recalled for and Toyota has informed me my warranty doesn’t qualify me for a new engine replacement. Common sense should be my engine should qualify for the same solution those other Toyota Tundras. I am filing this complaint because TOYOTA refuses to help me in any way,and the value of my truck will be negatively effected by their decision.

My son was driving our 2023 Toyota Tundra (non-hybrid) at approximately 25-30 miles an hour when the engine shut down. He had difficulty steering but was able to safely brake to a stop in the middle of the road. Cars were forced to pass him on the shoulder. He was unable to restart the engine for what he estimates was approximately one minute. He was finally able to restart the engine and drive home. The next day I drove it to the Toyota dealer. The engine stalled on me one block from the dealer on a busy intersection. I was able to get it restarted, out of traffic and into the dealership where it sits today. There were no apparent symptoms with the vehicle prior to it stalling on my son. I received an engine failure warning message when the vehicle stalled on me. The dealership looked at the engine and stated that there is lose debris in the engine. The dealership has stated that they are unable to give me a diagnoses letter or a repair order at this time. Once they repair is made, they can give me something in writing. This issue appears to be similar Safety Recall 24TA07. However, Toyota is stating that my vehicle does not fall under 24TA07. It appears have a vehicle with an engine stall safety issue that is not attached to a recall.
