ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
On 07/10 while accelerating from red to green light, at around 50mph truck shook and alerted my attention to dash/odometer because of immediate slowing of truck. Noticed alert for “Engine Power Loss” and “Brake Failure” and instructed to see dealer. Could not go above 30mph at 2500rpm, thankfully I was 5 minutes from home. Had Tundra towed to dealer. They got Toyota involved and started a case. As of 07/12, dealer was instructed to reset engine valve settings, cleared alerts, and did normal schedule maintenance. I was instructed to drive directly to dealer or pull over where I was and have a technician drive to my location so they could further assess this issue. As if they work 24/7 and would drive outside of city limits…I put 100+ miles a day on my truck for my work commute.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Recall 23TA09 (Interim Remedy Notice 23TB09) is coming up on 11 months since it was introduced. It took until December 2023 for the Interim Remedy to be ready. We are approaching nearly a year since this was introduced with no full remedy, causing a decline in trade-in value and dealers are unable to sell these vehicles as TCUV (Toyota Certified Used Vehicles) due to the nature of the recall. And no with the latest recall, 24TA07, we will be left out for the foreseeable future due to the engine recall not having any remedy available. This really is unacceptable.

ENGINE
Recall 24TA07 (Interim Notice 24TB07) was issued on May 30, 2024. Almost a month to the day, our engine locked up while traveling 60MPH through our town. Failure occurred July 1, 2024 @ approx. 11:30a Central. It took Toyota Roadside Assistance over 4 hours to get a tow truck to us. It was approx. 105°F Heat Index. Case was opened with Toyota Brand Engagement Center on July 2, 2024 @ approx. 7am Central. Case was closed without any further communication to us or our dealership. The lack of communication from Toyota Corporate (Brand Engagement Center) is unacceptable.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The Digital Instrument Cluster continues to have freezing and lagging while in motion. The DTE (Distance To Empty) has reset itself in the midst of driving with no input from the driver. This has continued to happen for multiple months. Also, the Fuel Gauge has become stuck. Toyota did release a TSB (T-SB-0022-23) to "resolve" this issue but it continues to be an issue well into the 2024 model year.

SEATS
Since around 35,000 miles, the 10-way Power Adjustable Driver's Seat makes a terrible squeaky sound when going over any bumps in the road. If the Driver were to move while in the seat, the squeak is present. We have already paid out of pocket (not considered a warranty issue because nothing is "broken"), but the squeak has returned. This is no fault of the dealership, but because of the design that Toyota implemented for just the 10-way Power Adjustable Driver's Seat. If we reduce the Lumbar Support down to its lowest setting, the squeak gets better but it makes the seat that much more uncomfortable. These are the worst seats we've ever had in any vehicle, let alone a Toyota/Lexus product. I do believe the seat structure to have cracked at this point in time. Vehicle is currently in for service.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
At certain times, when coming to a stop, and then attempting to proceed, the throttle with delay or lag from a stop. This has happened since the start of ownership in Feb 2022 up until today. Toyota has issued on previous Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) - T-SB-0111-22 - that Toyota states should resolve an issue with "Hesitation From Stop and Surge Concerns". The TCM -Transmission Control Module - logic has been modiWed to address these conditions. According to Toyota, this updated logic SHOULD keep this from happening. This TSB was released December 16, 2022. To date, this issue continues to occur. The only way to keep it from happening is to Reset the TCM Learning. This requires the battery to be unplugged for an extended period of time. There was a subsequent TCM logic update for Recall 24TA02 (NHTSA Campaign Number 24V125000). It would seem that this TCM Logic Update has actually caused this condition to be present more often. This is something that we have expressed to our Service Consultant at every visit and it is still occurring over two years later. We have had this happen multiple times while attempting to proceed through a 4-way stop, as well as trying to merge into tra`c in slower moving city streets. There are members of an online forum who have been able to record the data aow and show when and how the delay occurs. Other than December 2022 TSB, Toyota has not acknowledged this issue even though it continues to occur on the MY22+ Tundra/MY23+ Sequoia, as well as the MY18+ Lexus LS 500. I am lead to believe this is a result of the programming for the Direct Shift 10- AT from Aisin/Toyota and/or the V35A-FTS, both Type '17 (LS 500) and the Type '21 (Tundra/ Sequoia).

ENGINE
This truck was a 2024 Tundra platinum. I only had the vehicle for 6 weeks and had only driven it for 2000 miles before the truck started sending Low Oil notifications. It threw three of them over the weekend and the dealer I purchased it from was not open and the other local dealers could not get me in. I took the truck to Valvoline to have them check the oil. They recorded the entire process, I have the video evidence of the oil change. At the time of this oil change you can clearly see when they drain the oil in that the truck is low about 4.5-4.7 of the 7.7 quarts of oil in its capacity. 5 days later I get all these errors and I have it towed to the dealer and they are now telling me that the engine is blown and that they will not honor the warranty because it didn’t have a Toyota filter on it, even though it had the correct aftermarket oil filter on it they still elected to deny it and are refusing to do anything for me. This is a leased truck that I bought additional coverage on and they still want me to buy a new engine for roughly $25k. It seems evident that the 2024 Hybrid Tundra motors are also having the same metal shavings in the oil pan. Toyota and the dealer have both treated me like a bastard red headed stepchild and jerked me around for 3 days only to tell me to call some 800 number and that at some point in the future Toyota will send out and engineer to evaluate. Meanwhile I’m without a truck (which I need for my business) dealer won’t give me a loaner and won’t offer to atleast split the rental charges with me. If you look into this engine further you will find that there are countless horror stories of this same engine having the identical 22-23 engine issues. And they won’t give me a formal warranty denial letter so I can take them to court over this. This was my 5th Toyota/Lexus in my 20 years of driving and the way that Toyota and the dealer have treated me is absolutely criminal, they even deleted the low oil notifications so hide the evidenc

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I previously owned a 2022 Toyota Tundra that had the same fuel gauge malfunction. It was repurchased under the Texas Lemon Law since Toyota was unable to provide a repair after a year and a half. Now I have a 2024 Toyota Tundra with the same malfunction. The fuel gauge on the dashboard will reset to 3/4s to full tank of gas after starting and stay that way until you refuel the truck even though the tank may only have 1/2 tank or close to empty. With each restart of the engine, the fuel gauge still reads 3/4 to full tank. Toyota has been unable to fix this malfunction since the 2022 Tundra model year, 3 years now! SAFETY HAZARD: I do not know how much fuel is in the vehicle. Its like putting a piece of tape over your fuel gauge and driving around and guessing when to fill the vehicle with gas. Right now I track my fuel by resetting my odometer each time at the gas station and refilling at 400 miles. Towing would be a whole new guessing game. DANGEROUS ACCIDENT POTENTIAL: Imagine being on the highway and going about 65-70 mph and the truck run out of gas and shutdown. You are now driving a powerless vehicle that may or may not have steering and trying to cross over lanes on the highway to get to the shoulder if available. Not sure at night time if the outside lights on the truck would also turn off? Toyota put out a TSB for the 2022-2023 models and it did not fix the malfunction. Now the 2024 Tundras have the same problem and there is no fix for Toyota dealers to even try on the vehicle. We are just being told, no fix at this time---3 years! ATTACHED PHOTO: I have attached a photo of the fuel gauge after I started the truck. DTE is 387, Trip A: 316, Fuel level 3/4s TRUCK ACTUALLY HAD: DTE of 205, Trip A: 316, Fuel level 3/8s Appreciate the safety concern before a Tundra owner has a serious accident.

SEATS
- A dealership in DFW replaced the drive seat frame in truck due to metal creaking while driving. After the replacement everything was fine until my friend hit her toe against driver side seat frame covered by felt tape. From the factory the truck comes with plastic frame guards to prevent injury to rear passengers but Toyota has failed to fix the issue several times. I recently found out that all Tundra's with powered seats have this safety issue as I was talking to dealer employee who recently purchased a 2024 Tundra then we walked the lot and every single higher trim Tundra with powered seats all have this felt tape over the metal substructure. The felt tape provides no shock absorbing properties resulting in bruising when a rear passenger tries to exit the truck wearing open toe shoes.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
Engine is running rough, Engine is idling very high went first start.,I am concerned about the temporary fuel line repair. I don’t believe it is sufficient because we are dealing with fuel. Fuel line should be replaced along with the engine having debris in it, I am concerned with even driving it. A brand new truck shouldn’t have all these recalls! This is like the 5th one. I pay to much money to drive a truck that I’m scared of driving. At this point tell them to give me back my money and I will go purchase a horse. Thank you!

ENGINE
Purchased this vehicle in Oct of 2022. Since then, the vehicle lost all power and shut down on a major interstate in July 0f 2023 with many check engine lights coming on. After coasting to the shoulder of the road, I turned off the ignition, waited 15-20min, and the vehicle started. I continued my two hour drive back home, bring my truck into the dealer within 2 days of this occurring. The dealer looked at it, notified Toyota, and said they are seeing debris in the engines causing power loss, but that Toyota has not yet informed them of any remedies and to continue to drive the truck. A few months later, while towing a trailer the engine was making a knocking sound and lost power, only allowing me to reach about 2k RPM with the pedal to the floor. It lasted for about 10 min or so, and went away. After this incident, the truck makes a knocking sound while towing my 5K pound travel trailer, a few times every single time I tow. I did not bring it to the dealer for this issue. June 2024, I was towing my trailer for a camoing trip, and about 2 hours in to the 3 hour drive, the truck lost power and would not exceed 3K rpm or 45MPH on the interstate almost getting my hot by 3 different vehicles (the engine still knocks every time I tow), the loss of power lasted off and on until I made it to my camp site. I parked truck, and it sat for 3 days while we used our other vehicle to drive around in. On the way back home on that Sunday, the truck regained power, but would still make a knocking sound under load. I brought it into the dealer on the day after (Monday). I also uncovered thaty Toyota released a statement that all Dealer should stop selling my model year truck due to a "Safety Recall', one that describes the symptoms I've been having. The tech at the dealer was in communicaion with Toyota, and Toyota was teeling them that unless they could replicat ethe issue, there was nothing they could do. I have more to write.

ENGINE
On 6-5-24 I had an engine oil leak and reported it to Knoxville Toyota they said this was a minor issue. On 6-10-24 on my way to work the truck started to dump oil, the engine started to fail. I drove it straight to the dealership. I feel this is a safety risk because it was dumping oil on the road and the engine could have blown causing me to lose power and potentially lose control of the truck.
