2023 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

I want Toyota to expand their engine recalls to 2023+ models. The issue with their engine remains with 2023+ models and it is a huge safety risk to allow a 6000lb truck to run on highways with the risk of the engine turning off and potentially crashing.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle started shaking abnormally as if the vehicle was being driven over rough road surfaces. The contact started to decelerate, and several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that there was a loud knocking sound coming from the engine and the vehicle lost motive power and shut off. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed and the contact was informed that there were metal debris inside the engine, causing the engine to fail. The dealer stated that the engine needed to be rebuilt or replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact was made aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V381000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but failed to return the phone call. The failure mileage was 24,323.

I was driving down the [XXX] at 70 mph when suddenly the engine just went dead. There was no PRIOR warning as the orange engine symbol came on the dash at exactly the same time as the engine died. There were other warning symbols that came on the dash also at the same time. I then had to maneuver in heavy traffic without power steering or power brake at 70 mph to the side of the road which was very difficult and I felt very unsafe. It was frightening to say the least. I called the closest Toyota Dealership located in Bristol, Tn and they sent a tow truck to pick it up and take to their shop. I am now waiting for them to determine the extent of the damage. To be clear we have documentation of every required maintenance done. This truck is about 1 1/2 yrs old with only 68,000 miles on it!

I continue to get this message on my dash while driving and no one in front, on side or behind my vehicle: *Foreign Object Speed Acceleration reduced. *Radio Know broke a second time *windows stutter when going up or down while wet *windows rattle *poor acceleration at take off ( very dangerous on the expressway)

Vehicle losses a lot of power after being in a stop sign and trying to accelerate, there is also a ticking sound in the engine. With my fuel my car shows that there’s a full tank but in reality there is half a tank.

I have been having issues with engine hesitation, especially when pulling out onto the highway. More noticeable as we live out of town and our entrance is on a highway curve. As when I pull out, the response time is bad and had nearly caused us to get into a accident.

We were driving down the highway and there was a startling loud explosion and I pulled the vehicle to the side of the road for inspection. I discovered that the rear panoramic sunroof had completely shattered, with no obvious cause. There were no other vehicles around. It was sunny and 90 degree F ambient air temperature outside. The air conditioner was running at the time. Fortunately the headliner screen was closed, otherwise the rear passengers may have been showered with broken glass.
