POWER TRAIN

Throttle lag/hesitation when making a right hand turn after a stop. Truck was moving after taking my foot off the break to advance my vehicle to get a clear line of sight due to cars parked on the roadway. Once line of sight was clear there was a lag/hesitation after stepping on the accelerator

Engine/Powertrain🔵 Low
POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

While driving down the highway at ~70 mph, the truck's powertrain suddenly shut off. The electronics still worked, but the RPMs dropped to zero. I was forced to pull off to the side of the road, where I tried to turn off and turn back on. The truck kept on turning off and on by itself electronically, but the engine and transmission wouldn't engage for roughly 10 minutes. I was eventually able to start the truck and limp home, but the engine was knocking afterward. Completely shutting down while driving down the highway at cruising speeds is insanely unsafe.

Electrical🔵 Low
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

The lens on the forward facing camera in the front grill cracked making the camera useless and in need of replacement. I first noticed the problem about a year ago. It is available for inspection. I can't see any damage around the camera that would have been caused by an object hitting the front of the truck which leads me to believe that the camera lens cracked because of a defect. The camera has not been inspected by the dealer however I have gotten a replacement estimate at the dealer.

Electrical🔶 Medium
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SEATS,BACK OVER PREVENTION

Both passenger seats by controls plastic cracking. Infotainment center blacks out and marker bars and back up lines for both back up and front parking have disappeared. GPS even when linked to my phone screen will black out but phone gps will still work. I have complained about this multiple times. Toyota did a factory reset on it and didn’t fix the issue took it back and a tech had to re-install program said the Infotainment center has a known issue where it forgets the program. I also informed Toyota about the engine seems to be really sluggish when at a complete stop and then start again taking a few seconds to go along with shifting hard from stop and go. Toyota did say they saw what I saw and this usually happens when people double foot pedals. I told them I don’t do that. I am frustrated and don’t know what to do I have a 72k truck that just turned 17k miles on it with a lot of issues what will I have to deal with down the road once the warranty is up? I love Toyota but this time seems like I got a lemon from Toyota with all the issues and continued rising issues.

Other🔵 Low
UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Vehicle consistently exhibits throttle lag from a stop. It is almost like the engine is not responding to the throttle input. This condition is unsafe when pulling into oncoming traffic as the vehicle does not accelerate and then lurches out into traffic as it finally responds to the throttle input

Engine/Powertrain🔵 Low
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V767000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The contact stated that the recall was received for a vehicle that was never purchased and never owned, and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the error.

Engine/Powertrain🔶 Medium
POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

There is a severe throttle lag that is random. It has caused near collisions due to the response time. The truck will also randomly jerk forward. I reported it to dealer and they said it was normal and to drive the truck in sport mode. This not a solution and will cause an accident if not resolved soon

Engine/Powertrain🔵 Low
ENGINE

Vehicle experienced a loss of power while driving on a busy freeway and an extreme lag between pressing the gas pedal and when the vehicle would start going again. Called the dealership and was told “that’s a know issue with no current fix” they wouldn’t even look at the vehicle because there is a recall on my engine for this exact problem and Toyota does not have a fix yet.

Engine/Powertrain🔵 Low
ENGINE

Vehicle lost power and wouldn’t speed up while I was on the freeway and nearly caused a wreck because I couldn’t get the vehicle up to the speed limit. I pulled over and after shutting the vehicle off for an extended amount of time I then restated my truck but still experienced a lag in the engine. I would press the gas pedal and it took a while for the engine to seemingly engage and take off. The dealer was notified and they stated “we know of the issue but there is no fix, no need to bring it in as we are aware of the issues”

Engine/Powertrain🔶 Medium
ENGINE

I am submitting a safety defect concern regarding Toyota’s V35A 3.4L twin-turbo V6 manufacturing defect involving machining debris contaminating crankshaft main bearings. Toyota initiated a safety recall in May 2024 for MY 2022–2023 Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX vehicles, citing debris left in the engine during manufacturing that can lead to bearing failure, engine failure, loss of motive power, and increased crash risk. In November 2025, Toyota expanded this recall to include MY 2022–2024 Toyota Tundra, MY 2022–2024 Lexus LX, and MY 2024 Lexus GX vehicles, citing the same defect mechanism. Despite this expansion, Toyota has excluded i-FORCE MAX hybrid vehicles from the recall population. My vehicle is a 2024 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX, VIN [XXX] , build date 02/2024, with 3,667 miles. It uses the same V35A 3.4L twin-turbo engine architecture and manufacturing process implicated in the recall. The presence of a hybrid electric motor does not eliminate the underlying defect mechanism (engine-internal debris contamination) nor the risk of sudden engine failure, loss of power under load, or unsafe drivability conditions. Excluding hybrid vehicles appears inconsistent with the stated defect cause and may result in similarly affected vehicles not being inspected, remedied, or disclosed to owners. I respectfully request that NHTSA evaluate whether Toyota’s exclusion of i-FORCE MAX vehicles is technically justified given the defect mechanism described, and whether additional investigation or recall expansion is warranted. At this time, my vehicle has not exhibited failure symptoms; however, this is a latent manufacturing defect with potential safety consequences.
