The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the short block engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact researched and became aware of an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
CrashFireInjuryDeath
Total engine failure in v35a at 65- 70 mph which dealer has confirmed was due to main bearing failure. Inability to accelerate vehicle in heavy traffic lead to extreme unsafe situation. No warning lamps came on until after the vehicle completed stopped running. Both the manufacturer and the NHTSA are well aware of the continued problems with these engines and the unsafe failure. The only warning ‘hybrid system malfunction “( which has nothing to do with dealer performed diagnostic of metal in oil pan failed main bearing) came on after the truck was inoperable.
CrashFireInjuryDeath
My Toyota Tundra's windshield spontaneously cracked while I was sitting at a stop in the vehicle. The crack started below the hood line and there are huge number of Tundra owners having the same issues with Tundras manufactured from 2022 - 2026. Toyota refused to acknowledge the issue but it is widespread on the internet.

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?
CrashFireInjuryDeath
“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.
CrashFireInjuryDeath
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.
