2024 Toyota Tundra

While driving, I noticed that the vehicle seemed sluggish. Shortly after, I experienced grinding and knocking. The engine then stalled when I came to a traffic light. Fearing for my safety, I was able to get the engine to re-start to be able to pull off the road into a parking lot. At this point, the engine was barely running and making a ton of noise. There were no warning lights prior or after the incident took place. The vehicle was towed to my local Toyota Dealership who performed an inspection and determined that the Short block needs to be replaced, despite the contamination risk of other components. I have demanded that Toyota replace the engine with a complete new assembly, however, they are declining to do so.

It’s been almost a year with no fix in sight for my tail lights. And my motor has had a recall on since November with no fix in sight. I’ve started the lemon law/buy back process on March 4th and have no communication from Toyota either any updates since . I’ve had no failures to date but want my recalls fixed or truck replaced so I can sell my vehicle

First engine has not failed yet, it will happen. It presents a safety defect potential stalling , engine failure, or worse. ... It is same engine as non-hybrids . build date December 2023. Cuurent milage 23k . Toyota excluded hybrids with no proof safely exit hwy under electric power. i avoid passing lane for this very reason. Hybrid cannot gain speed to get over to side of the road. with drastic loss of speed . even more dangerous if pulling trailer. sumitt November 6, 2025 DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT Toyota sent to Nhtsa . Section no 6 i find very interesting and disturbing. While Toyota voluntary did recall , the report indicated engine failure not from debris but main bearing failure defects. grenade waiting to happen. hybrid owners with false safety from Toyota that can get over is a very dangerous message. Same defect engine exact as ones under recall. They are currently being sued over this. NHTSA must take action to include same defect engine in the hybrids. also putting link to a video of a tear down where took nearly 3 years get a blown engine for teardown. I see why now. 2026 engine has fixed main bearings with more oil pathways. IF IT WAS EVER A DEBRIS ISSUE , TOYOTA WOULD HAVE NEVER FIXED DEFECT MAIN BEARINGS AND MORE OIL PATHWAYS. FIXWD 2026 ENGINE GOING INTO RECALL. November 6, 2025 DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT shows that main bearing failure. With that allowing Toyota to exclude same engine in hybrid will be failure of of NHTSA.

approaching a round about at a slow rate of speed, prior to entering I noticed there was time to safely enter the round about ahead of a car also entering the roundabout from another direction. I pushed the accelerator pedal to about 30% at the time I choose to enter the traffic circle and attempted to enter. The truck did nothing in response except keep rolling forward due to the momentum I already had while approaching the round about / traffic circle. After about 2 seconds, I pressed the pedal to about 70%. This still did nothing for about another 1 second, before the truck accelerated as if I had pressed the pedal to 70% from a stop. fast acceleration into the round about which caused a narrow miss between me and the original car mentioned that was also entering the traffic circle.

It has been occurring ever since I purchased the truck in October 2023. I finally thought I should say something. Usually, the truck is at a complete stop. The truck can be warm or cold. As I press the accelerator down to move in the forward direction, there is a hesitation. No immediate acceleration. It lasts for at least one second before the acceleration begins. This can create a serious safety issue when there is cross traffic. Putting myself and passengers in possible danger of a collision. This occurs almost every time I drive the vehicle. When I had my truck in for a recall on 4/19/26, I asked a Toyota service manager if this is a common problem. He told me it is very common in the 2024 Toyota Tundra, with a V6 twin turbo. This leads me to believe that the Toyota Corporation is aware of the problem. As per the service manager, Toyota has not done anything about this issue and there isn’t a repair for it.

With only under 23000 miles, engine started clunking on way back home from a day trip. Took the truck to dealer and they said the engine tech will see on Monday, but almost 100% it’s the engine. They want to rebuild and not replace because my vin is not in the Toyota engine recall yet. Please help with this, I can’t be risking pulling my 9000 boat and the rebuild engine to crap on me on the hwy with kids and family in truck. Thank you

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH on the highway, the vehicle lost automotive power and decelerated unintendedly. The vehicle failed to accelerate. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the spark plugs were replaced, the brake lines were flushed, and the oil filter was replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

My 2024 Toyota Tundra Platinum (VIN [XXX] ) had multiple times where I had delayed throttle response which created close call of accident while turning. I researched my VIN and it is subject to Safety Recall 25TA14 for V35A engine stall due to manufacturing machining debris causing main bearing failure. Toyota has issued this recall but NO repair remedy is currently available. The authorized dealer (Ed Martin Toyota, Indianapolis, Indiana) has confirmed they do not have authority to perform the repair and cannot provide a remedy timeline. I have surrendered the vehicle because I do not feel safe operating it. I am without transportation indefinitely. This vehicle has also been subject to four additional safety recalls: 26TA02, 25TA10, 25TA06, and 24TA02. I previously filed a formal buyback claim with Toyota Motor North America (Claim No. XXX) in November 2024 which was denied. Toyota has since issued three additional recalls on this same vehicle. I am requesting federal intervention and investigation into Toyota’s failure to provide a timely remedy for this safety recall.” INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

NHTSA 25V-767 indicates potential issue with manufacturing debris in the engine potentially resulting in engine failure. Recall Status indicates "remedy not yet available". It has been over 4 months (11/6/25 to 3/19/26) since this safety recall was filed. This has been an unreasonably long time and Toyota should be compelled to initiate the remedy immediately and provide a detailed explanation as to why it is failing to meet its own code of conduct with respect to product safety and the law.

My vehicle is equipped with the same V35A-FTS 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 engine and #1 main bearing assembly that is currently under federal recall for catastrophic engine failure (Recalls 24V-381 and 25V-767). Despite the shared mechanical defect of machining debris and bearing tolerances, Toyota has excluded the i-FORCE MAX Hybrid models based on the assumption that the electric motor provides sufficient 'limp home' capability. I believe this is a critical safety oversight, as a sudden internal combustion engine seizure at highway speeds creates an unpredictable loss of motive power that a small hybrid battery cannot safely manage in high-speed traffic. I am filing this to urge the NHTSA to expand the recall scope to include hybrids, as the primary power source is fundamentally defective and prone to stalling without warning
