SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
The dealership and Toyota Engagement Center refused to service the 2 recalls that was critical for the truck since October 2025. It was supposed to be including frame replacement and other parts but Toyota Engagement decided to active buy back option and took advantage of low offer to solve the matter which I don't accept.

When returning home from vacation towing my travel trailer. A warning light came on that said pull over immediately you have lost all power. I pulled over immediately and definitely had lost power and was stuck on a mountain pass. I called for a tow which took 7 hours. I called Toyota during that time and they couldn't tow me home just to the nearest dealer. My family and I had to wait for 7 hours on a small turnout on the road it was very hot that day. I had my truck towed to my local Toyota dealer and they confirmed it was the engine with metal shavings in the oil pan. Towing costs were 1102.50 out of my pocket as Toyota would not cover.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I own a 2024 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition with approximately 37,000 miles. On or about XXX, while driving, the vehicle displayed a “Check Engine” warning, “Reduced Engine Power” message, and the Pre-Collision System became disabled. The vehicle immediately became sluggish and lost power during acceleration. The loss of power created a safety concern because the truck was unable to accelerate normally when entering and crossing intersections. I did not feel safe continuing to drive the vehicle, especially while transporting my 9-year-old daughter. Due to the safety risk, I parked the vehicle and have not driven it since the warning first occurred. The warning lights remain active. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by a Toyota dealer because I do not believe it is safe to drive to the dealership. I am requesting dealer evaluation and towing assistance. The component that failed is currently unknown. The vehicle is displaying a check engine light and reduced engine power condition. The condition can be inspected and diagnosed by Toyota. No crash, injury, or property damage occurred because I immediately stopped using the vehicle once the safety concern became apparent. I am submitting this complaint because a sudden reduction in engine power while driving creates a significant traffic safety hazard.

5/4/26 Truck brough in for service, I raised concerns of hesitation from a rolling stop/complete stop. This hesitation had happened to me a dozen or so times since purchasing the truck new in August of 2024. I expressed to my service advisor that I experience a 2-3 second delay in acceleration with the truck simply not responding after I have pulled out in traffic from a rolling stop. My service advisor noted my concern and got with the service manager. The Service Manager took the time to ride along with me in hopes of duplicating the problem. We were not able to reproduce the hesitation. Inconclusive findings was my conclusion of that service. T-SB-0032-26 was issued two days later on 5/6/26 7/3/26 Truck Brought in for service, I shared with my service advisor that I discovered T-SB-0032-26 while reiterating my previous experiences. TSB was performed on the truck successfully according to my service conclusion report. 7/7/26 Hesitation almost caused an accident. As I was crossing two way traffic, the truck hesitated. Traffic in both directions had to apply their brakes to avoid hitting me. This 2-3 second hesitation in acceleration creates a very unsettling moment. This is the kind of hesitation that could easily result in my getting rear-ended or T-boned in traffic. Other cars have to react to my truck not responding and slow down. If this causes an accident, I want this noted. I sent this information to my service advisor, the truck is going back to Toyota tonight for them to look into the computers history and see if they can find anything showing the hesitation. I even noted the date and time to my service advisor. Very interested to see what they do next.

ENGINE
Engine shutdown while driving (was towing a travel trailer at the time) and after coasting to a stop the engine would not start. After 10 minutes the engine would start, but had loud knocking. My 2024 Tundra only had 31,726 miles and had to be towed to the dealership. Seems to be the known engine issues with the redesigned v6 engine. Tundra has been in the dealership for 4 weeks and was told it will require engine replacement, but do not know when the new engine will be shipped. While Toyota will perform the replacement free of charge, based on the hundreds of thousands of Tundra's being recalled for this very issue, I no longer trust this engine design (replaced or not).

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2012 Toyota Tundra. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was 149,000. The vehicle was a dealer sale. An independent mechanic checked the vehicle history report and discovered a mileage discrepancy. The Carfax report indicated that the mileage was 379,000 in May 2025. The contact reported the odometer fraud to Wisconsin's Department of Transportation - Field Investigation Unit, which informed him that the odometer fraud was outside of their jurisdiction because the vehicle was purchased in Kentucky. The contact stated that the current approximate mileage was 395,000.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. while heading west with cruise control on and I passed a truck that was fully in the left turn lane my vehicle has done a collision avoidance complete stop three time in the same day. I wasn’t tailgating and I was doing the speed limit of 55 mph. The road was very straight. It did this twice before about a year ago. I reported it to the dealer and they could find nothing wrong with my vehicle.

This is the second time this has happened to my truck. I was driving on the freeway at about 30–40 mph when the truck suddenly shut off. It was very scary because I was in moving traffic. This time, several warning lights came on, but I didn’t have a chance to see what they were because I immediately started to panic. I had to bring the truck to a complete stop by applying the brakes and then shifting it into Park. Once I did that, I pressed the Start button, and the truck started back up. This incident has me very concerned because it’s now happened twice. I’m worried that if it happens again, I could be rear-ended and seriously injured. I believe this is a significant safety issue that needs to be investigated and repaired as soon as possible. This is the second time this has happened to my truck.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Bought my vehicle brand new on January 2026. During heavy rain, my truck has a strong water leak that comes out of the handle bars between the windshield and front door windows, behind the rearview mirrors and the sun glasses compartment. I’ve brought my vehicle to the dealership 3 times already and couldn’t fix the issue or duplicate the water leak. After the third visit at the dealership, i couldn’t find out if the leak was fixed since it has not rained since then. So i went ahead and washed my vehicle and sprayed the top and front of my vehicle. As i went in my truck, i saw water leaking again.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
While driving my 2024 Toyota Tundra Hybrid, the engine suffered a catastrophic seizure at approximately 37,974 miles. The dealership retrieved substantial metal machining debris (swarf) from inside the engine, which had contaminated the #1 main bearing. This is the exact same manufacturing defect Toyota has publicly acknowledged in multiple safety recalls for 2024 Tundras. Service Manager Dan Moran at Toyota of Colorado Springs confirmed during a recorded call that his dealership has seen the identical debris-related engine failure in other hybrid Tundras. Despite this, Toyota excludes all hybrids from the recalls. Even with clear physical evidence matching the recalled defect, Toyota directed an in-house rebuild (using a new short block but many of my original contaminated components) instead of providing a full factory crate engine. I was never offered a choice in the remedy. This sudden engine failure created a serious safety hazard due to unexpected loss of power. The current repair does not fully eliminate the known root cause (manufacturing debris contamination). The vehicle was well within warranty at failure and remains so. The dealership has the debris and full repair records available for inspection. I have also submitted the debris photo, repair documents, and recorded call summaries to NCDS (Case #[XXX]) and the Colorado Attorney General’s office.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
was waiting for the traffic light to turn green. Vehicle in drive with foot on brake. the traffic light turned green, I took my foot off the brakes and pushed on the accelerator. Nothin happened. I saw another vehicle approaching at a high rate of speed behind me so I continued to mash on the accelerator. right before being hit by the car behind me my vehicle lurched forward a few feet then stopped again. I looked at the dash display and saw a "Hybrid System Malfunction" warning. Because of the traffic situation/location it was not safe to just sit in the road so I continued to pump on the accelerator. each pumped moved the vehicle forward a couple of feet. I did not turn of the engine because I was unsure what would happen so I continued to do that for about a mile or so until I could get to a safe place to pull over. during this time, I almost got rear-ended and side-swiped several times. Once stopped I attempted to start the vehicle several times and got the "Hybrid System Malfunction" display and the vehicle would not start. I waited for about an hour with the vehicle off and restarted the engine. I stayed off the freeway and took backroads to the closest dealer service center where it is currently located. When I dropped it off the service rep said he hasn't seen anything like this. Prior to this incident I had no issues with the truck and it was last serviced by the dealership on March 4, 2026.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
My understanding is that my vehicle went in for the frame issue. However on both the driver and passenger sides the frame is literally disintegrating. The metal is falling apart in solid chunks, not flakes actual chunks ⅜" x 2" x 3"! This is taking place in the exact same locations on each side. Just aft of the front suspension cross frame and in front of the transmission/transfer case cross support.
