2024 Toyota Tundra

engine knocks on start up or is very rough. the truck only has 8200 miles on it. i’m waiting for the recall to be processed but it’s been 2 years and i’m still waiting. i want to sell the truck because im afraid of it breaking down when i need it. but no one wants to buy the truck based on issues with the engines Toyota put in the trucks. how long do i have to wait for a new engine with the same design flaw? why is this issue taking so long to be rectified.How long do i have to wait for the back up light s issue to be resolved also? that’s also been 2 years! who’s sleeping at the wheel here to put pressure on Toyota?

“Before purchasing the vehicle new, I specifically asked the selling dealership about the known engine-related stop-sale concerns affecting Toyota Tundras. I was advised that the applicable issue involving this vehicle had been addressed and that the truck had been cleared for sale. The vehicle was subsequently sold to me as new. At approximately 5,141 miles, an independent repair facility documented gold-colored shavings/material in the engine oil filter. The filter has been preserved. My VIN currently shows no unrepaired recall. I have formally notified Toyota Motor Sales and requested that Toyota identify what stop-sale, recall, inspection, remedy, or other corrective procedure was performed on this specific VIN before it was released for sale. The composition and source of the material have not yet been determined. I am concerned that, if the material represents abnormal internal engine wear, the condition could potentially result in engine failure and loss of motive power while driving.

July 31, 2026 driving on the Garden State Parkway in NJ in traffic at 65 mph in the far left lane, my engine seized without warning. The car started beeping and the dash lit up something like engine stopped low steering power. I had to maneuver across 2 lanes of high-speed traffic with no power, limited steering and brakes. Then coasted to a stop and tried to restart the engine. Only a click, nothing. After that I had to wait on the side of the highway for 20-30 minutes with cars speeding by only inches away so fast it shook the truck. One miscalculation by a driver could have resulted in a crash I was towed to my house, then towed to Toyota dealer. They confirmed my engined seized due to recall 25TB14 SAFETY RECALL - 25TA14 (INTERIM NOTICE 25TB14) and replaced the engine. Vehicle had 22,3xx miles when it failed and was less than 2 years old.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V767000 (Engine and Engine Cooling).

The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road through traffic and parked safely. The vehicle failed to restart. The contact exited the vehicle and inspected the vehicle but found no fault with the vehicle.

Complete catastrophic engine failure at 36,514 miles on July 2, 2026, while the vehicle was being driven. There were no warning lamps, messages, knocking, or other symptoms prior to the failure - a sudden and total loss of motive power while the vehicle was in motion, creating a serious risk of a crash. The vehicle was towed to a franchised Toyota dealership (Hendrick Toyota Concord, Concord, NC), where the dealer confirmed the engine failure. The failure is consistent with the engine machining debris / #1 main bearing defect described in NHTSA Recall Nos. 24V-381 and 25V-767 and the related Toyota campaigns (25TB14/25TA14). As of this filing, the vehicle has been out of service at the dealership for more than 40 days with no replacement engine allocated and no repair date provided. A Toyota corporate case (#260805003088) is open. The vehicle and failed engine are available for inspection at the dealership.

While driving, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled and lost power. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership for diagnosis, where the same stalling condition was reproduced and confirmed during a dealer road test. The vehicle had to be towed back to the dealership, where the engine was found to be seized. The sudden loss of power while driving created a serious safety concern because the vehicle could become disabled without warning and lose motive power in traffic. The failure was confirmed by the authorized dealership, and the vehicle and engine were available for inspection during the repair process. There were no known warning lamps, diagnostic messages, or other clear advance warnings that would have allowed me to anticipate the engine failure before the vehicle stalled.
