First engine has not failed yet, it will happen. It presents a safety defect potential stalling , engine failure, or worse. ... It is same engine as non-hybrids . build date December 2023. Cuurent milage 23k . Toyota excluded hybrids with no proof safely exit hwy under electric power. i avoid passing lane for this very reason. Hybrid cannot gain speed to get over to side of the road. with drastic loss of speed . even more dangerous if pulling trailer. sumitt November 6, 2025 DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT Toyota sent to Nhtsa . Section no 6 i find very interesting and disturbing. While Toyota voluntary did recall , the report indicated engine failure not from debris but main bearing failure defects. grenade waiting to happen. hybrid owners with false safety from Toyota that can get over is a very dangerous message. Same defect engine exact as ones under recall. They are currently being sued over this. NHTSA must take action to include same defect engine in the hybrids. also putting link to a video of a tear down where took nearly 3 years get a blown engine for teardown. I see why now. 2026 engine has fixed main bearings with more oil pathways. IF IT WAS EVER A DEBRIS ISSUE , TOYOTA WOULD HAVE NEVER FIXED DEFECT MAIN BEARINGS AND MORE OIL PATHWAYS. FIXWD 2026 ENGINE GOING INTO RECALL. November 6, 2025 DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT shows that main bearing failure. With that allowing Toyota to exclude same engine in hybrid will be failure of of NHTSA.

2024 Toyota Tundra 4X4 SR5 CrewMax 6.5, VIN: [XXX] , 28,500 miles. Three distinct, worsening vibration issues affecting separate systems: 1 — Powertrain/Driveline: Significant vibration on initial acceleration, under tow load, and on inclines. Suspected driveshaft carrier bearing, U-joint, or engine main bearing failure. Recall 25V-767 (V35A engine bearing debris, 2022–2024 Tundra) — VIN recall status to be confirmed at [XXX] . Component available for inspection. 2 — Highway vibration 40–70 mph: Constant speed-dependent vibration in steering wheel, seat, and floor. Worsening and expanding in speed range over time. Impairs steering feedback — direct safety hazard at highway speed. Suspected wheel bearing or hub failure. No warning lamps present at any time. 3 — Braking: Violent vibration during heavy deceleration, downhill braking, and rapid stops. Severely impairs controlled stopping and risks loss of vehicle control. Consistent with rotor degradation per Toyota TSB (Nov. 2025, 2022–2026 Tundra). Repair history: OEM tires replaced at 20,000 miles — abnormal camber-induced outside shoulder wear. Toyota issued a Limited Service Campaign for this identical defect on 2022–2023 models but explicitly excluded 2024. All 4 tires replaced twice. Multiple alignments, balancings, and rotations performed at L&S Toyota, Beckley, WV (3+ dealer visits) and an independent tire chain (3+ visits). No resolution. Defect is mechanical, not tire-related. No DTCs or warning lights at any visit. Safety risk: Braking vibration risks loss of control on downgrades and emergency stops. Highway vibration impairs steering feedback over extended driving. Towing vibration creates trailer instability on public roads. Requesting NHTSA investigate and include 2024 Tundra in the existing Limited Service Campaign covering this known defect on prior model years.

approaching a round about at a slow rate of speed, prior to entering I noticed there was time to safely enter the round about ahead of a car also entering the roundabout from another direction. I pushed the accelerator pedal to about 30% at the time I choose to enter the traffic circle and attempted to enter. The truck did nothing in response except keep rolling forward due to the momentum I already had while approaching the round about / traffic circle. After about 2 seconds, I pressed the pedal to about 70%. This still did nothing for about another 1 second, before the truck accelerated as if I had pressed the pedal to 70% from a stop. fast acceleration into the round about which caused a narrow miss between me and the original car mentioned that was also entering the traffic circle.
Very commonly when the truck is “cold” after sitting overnight, the truck fails to accelerate from a stop while pushing the accelerator pedal down gradually (such as when leaving a stop sign at an intersection. This lack of acceleration makes me feel a loss of control as I cannot get the truck to accelerate. For example, driving out of my neighborhood into oncoming road traffic I feel as if the truck doesn’t sense my pedal input. The truck just “floats” for at least a few seconds before the pedal reaches a point where the truck recognizes the input and activates acceleration. I can see this situation causing a safety hazard such as when trying to gain speed from a stop. The dealerships says it’s a non-issue and normal for a turbo-charged engine. I have owned cars with turbo-charged engines and have never experienced this bad of lag before. I don’t feel this is normal. My truck currently has no engine issues and is maintained routinely.
My vehicle sustained a flat tire after driving. I was able to make it home safely. Vehicle was taken to dealer who found no evidence of a nail. This is the second incident. The first incident occurred while I was driving but thankfully I Was able to pull into a gas station. After research I found out that the tires on the new Toyota tundra have had weak side wall issues causing the tires the explode or wear out prematurely. I have tire warranty through Toyota. I believe Toyota offered this warranty due to their knowledge of the tires being defective. Other issues have been the wheel alignment and premature thread wear which is also a known problem with these vehicles.
I live in a city with many roundabouts for intersections. These do not require a full stop, rather a yield and go. I often encounter throttle lag when I roll into the roundabout and need to accelerate to fit a gap in traffic. This lag results in the inability of a continuous flow of traffic because my vehicle simply does not respond to the accelerator.
With only under 23000 miles, engine started clunking on way back home from a day trip. Took the truck to dealer and they said the engine tech will see on Monday, but almost 100% it’s the engine. They want to rebuild and not replace because my vin is not in the Toyota engine recall yet. Please help with this, I can’t be risking pulling my 9000 boat and the rebuild engine to crap on me on the hwy with kids and family in truck. Thank you
I went to the dealership near me to get the following recall completed: Manufacturer Recall Number26TA02, NHTSA Recall Number26V038. The recall was stated to say that the rear backup camera would sometimes not show despite being shifted into reverse, which I had experienced multiple times. After the dealership performed the software update to fix this issue, I have experienced the issue multiple times since. So the issue is not fixed and the update from Toyota failed.
My 2024 Toyota Tundra Platinum (VIN [XXX] ) had multiple times where I had delayed throttle response which created close call of accident while turning. I researched my VIN and it is subject to Safety Recall 25TA14 for V35A engine stall due to manufacturing machining debris causing main bearing failure. Toyota has issued this recall but NO repair remedy is currently available. The authorized dealer (Ed Martin Toyota, Indianapolis, Indiana) has confirmed they do not have authority to perform the repair and cannot provide a remedy timeline. I have surrendered the vehicle because I do not feel safe operating it. I am without transportation indefinitely. This vehicle has also been subject to four additional safety recalls: 26TA02, 25TA10, 25TA06, and 24TA02. I previously filed a formal buyback claim with Toyota Motor North America (Claim No. XXX) in November 2024 which was denied. Toyota has since issued three additional recalls on this same vehicle. I am requesting federal intervention and investigation into Toyota’s failure to provide a timely remedy for this safety recall.” INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
NHTSA 26V-038 indicates potential issue with vehicles that may not meet the rear visibility requirements specified in FMVSS No. 111, paragraphs S6.2.1, which may increase the risk of a crash with a person during a backing event.. Recall Status indicates "Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available". It has been over 30 days (1/23/26 to 3/19/26) since this safety recall was filed. This is the 3rd unresolved safety recall to date on this vehicle. This has been an unreasonably long time and Toyota should be compelled to initiate the remedy immediately and provide a detailed explanation as to why it is failing to meet its own code of conduct with respect to product safety and the law.
NHTSA 25V-767 indicates potential issue with manufacturing debris in the engine potentially resulting in engine failure. Recall Status indicates "remedy not yet available". It has been over 4 months (11/6/25 to 3/19/26) since this safety recall was filed. This has been an unreasonably long time and Toyota should be compelled to initiate the remedy immediately and provide a detailed explanation as to why it is failing to meet its own code of conduct with respect to product safety and the law.
The engine lost complete power. This is a 2024 Toyota Tundra I=Max Force Hybrid. The low Oil Pressure, Hybrid Malfunction, Check Engine lights all came on. i lost all power, steering, brakes, and had no Hybrid assist. I was nearly hit from the back. I was able to get help from people to push it out the highway. There was no warning prior to this happening. I have read about all the engine problems from the 22 and 23 year models and recalls are out. There are no recalls for the Hybrid 2024 engines, but this looks the same as what i am reading.
It’s been almost a year with no fix in sight for my tail lights. And my motor has had a recall on since November with no fix in sight. I’ve started the lemon law/buy back process on March 4th and have no communication from Toyota either any updates since . I’ve had no failures to date but want my recalls fixed or truck replaced so I can sell my vehicle
The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 25V322000 (Exterior Lighting) and 25V767000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the parts for the recall repairs were not yet available. The dealer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the parts were not available. In addition, the contact was informed that the parts could take eight months or more to become available. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was used to transport his wife and grandson to their destinations. The contact had not experienced a failure.
My vehicle is equipped with the same V35A-FTS 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 engine and #1 main bearing assembly that is currently under federal recall for catastrophic engine failure (Recalls 24V-381 and 25V-767). Despite the shared mechanical defect of machining debris and bearing tolerances, Toyota has excluded the i-FORCE MAX Hybrid models based on the assumption that the electric motor provides sufficient 'limp home' capability. I believe this is a critical safety oversight, as a sudden internal combustion engine seizure at highway speeds creates an unpredictable loss of motive power that a small hybrid battery cannot safely manage in high-speed traffic. I am filing this to urge the NHTSA to expand the recall scope to include hybrids, as the primary power source is fundamentally defective and prone to stalling without warning
The vehicle while parked and not running on our driveway burst into flames and had large fire and explosions that burned the vehicle front half completely. the whole engine compartment burned and melted and destroyed the vehicle. No warning lights, no issues. Just burst into flames and destroyed the vehicle.
The brakes squeal when reversing and sometimes when you’re driving forward coming to a stop. It has done this since the day I picked it up at the dealership. The dealership says there’s no remedy for it yet. The next thing is the front fog lights also draw moisture just like the rear reverse lights. Dealership says there’s no remedy for it or fix for it. I’ve had to have the radiator replaced twice in this vehicle and it only has 44,000 miles on it. The dealership says it’s a factory defect. Not sure if that’s true or not. It was not covered under warranty so I had to spend $200 to use my extended warranty. I do not think that is right it should’ve been covered under the manufacturers warning, especially if it was a manufacturer defect. The last but most important thing is the lag when you give it gas. This happens from a complete stop or also like if you’re trying to accelerate to get on the highway you can press it nice and slow and it won’t takeoff or you can mash on it all the way to the floor and it still takes a few seconds and then kind of vibrates and pops like it’s trying to skip gears before it takes off and goes. Dealership also says there’s nothing wrong with it. I believe it is a factory defect or some kind of wiring problem. The reason why I think it is a computer or wiring issue is that if you put the vehicle in sport mode, it will not do it coming from a complete stop. It does do it when you’re getting on the highway even in sport mode. I am on a few Facebook forums and I see this problem where people report this problem all the time and ask how to fix it. I would like information on how to get Toyota to buy my vehicle back. These trucks have had so many issues with engine recalls, engine replacement, and other issues that are an actual safety concern and I do not feel like it is a safe vehicle to be traveling with my family.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH on the highway, the vehicle lost automotive power and decelerated unintendedly. The vehicle failed to accelerate. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the spark plugs were replaced, the brake lines were flushed, and the oil filter was replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
I am an automotive engineer. I have been involved with vehicle development programs in the disabled vehicle conversion community for over two decades and have numerous patents in that space. I have been involved with vehicle testing and calibration as well. My vehicle demonstrates a SIGNIFICANT HESITATION when the accelerator is pressed that is not consistent. I live in a roundabout dense location where timing an entry into a roundabout is easy using a normal vehicle. The 1 to 2 second hesitation where there is throttle input and no action at all from the vehicle (engine does not rev, no motive power observed) is very dangerous. I took this up with Toyota and my vehicle was checked out and "learning transmission" memory was wiped clean with me being the only driver was the remedy. The issue got better for a short time but is back and this morning I pulled out thinking there was plenty of time in front of a bus a good distance away and the lack of motive power for a full second or two resulted in a near miss. This vehicle has about 20,000 miles and was purchased by me new. There are NO WARNING LAMPS, and no DTCs thrown when this happens. I have seen several videos where people cite the same experience and a website where there is a class action lawsuit in place regarding this issue. This is completely separate from the engine recall issue. I feel as though this issue is a significant safety risk.

NHTSA 25V322 indicates potential issue with reverse lamp assemblies as well as the remedy. Recall Status indicates "remedy not yet available". It has been over 6 months (5/15/25 to 2/9/26) since this safety recall was filed. This has been an unreasonably long time and Toyota should be compelled to initiate the remedy immediately and provide a detailed explanation as to why it is failing to meet its own code of conduct with respect to product safety and the law.
The engine repair was a short block only, even thoe the main bearings spun and sent debis threw the engine. #1 rod went as well. Apon recieving the truck back, with in 200 miles, I've had the same hesitation with the engines as I had just before the first engine failed. Took it by the dealer and no issues found. oil preasure stays up and temp normal. I've had many issue with throtle lag sence day one. The milage has stayed in the low 11 gpm when before i would get on average 14 to 16. Dealer stated toyota would make it right if the engine fails again. Very unhappy with Toyota as I feel they are just kicking the can down the road.
I was stopped and went to pull out of the gas station. With my foot on the throttle I pull out. And it would not accelerate. I had to pump the gas pedal I almost got hit by oncoming traffic due to the lack of acceleration this has happened multiple times Very dangerous
Like most other third gen tundra owners, I experience a significant delay at random between pressing the throttle and actual vehicle movement. Often in unsafe situations, such as in traffic or at intersections, the vehicle will not move for 1-5 seconds upon pressing the throttle/pedal. When it finally does move, it will jump forward, startling passengers. This is a clear safety concern that occurs across Tundra 3rd gen models that Toyota has not addressed. I have personally been in several situations where this delay carried a risk of an accident. This has occurred since the truck is new. It now has 30k miles and is meticulously maintained.
Transmission does not shift into gear after accelerating from a brief or rolling stop.
I have had an issue several times which nearly resulted in a traffic accident. The truck has a sudden loss of acceleration where the gas pedal is completely dead. It last a few seconds and then goes back to normal. This has nearly caused several accidents where I could not properly accelerate while traffic was heading in my direction. After talking with other Tundra owners, I am not the only one with this issue. This needs immediate attention. If it is not fixed as soon as possible, I fear that someone will get seriously injured or killed. Please take this matter seriously. I suspect it may have something to do with the pre collision sensor system on the truck. It seems that it happens when there is a slight grade or dip in the road. Perhaps the sensors are at a lower angle due to the dip, making it think there is an object it will hit. The Toyota service centers don’t appear to know why this is happening and cannot reproduce the issue in a short visit.
When initially starting the vehicle, when at a complete stop, the vehicle lags when pressing the accelerator. It’s almost as if the vehicle doesn’t recognize that I’m pressing it at all and I have to reset my foot and start the process over. There is a slight incline hill that has a stop sign that I come to everyday after work and this happens maybe twice a week.
Extreme lag response from stop on numerous occasions causing vehicle to not move for well over 1-2 seconds. Seems to happen mostly within 5 mins of start up. Had to stop slightly out in intersections several times due to this lag not allowing me to proceed safely. It doesn’t sputter at all, it just doesn’t move

The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
When pulling out turning left across a busy street, my vehicle did not accelerate when I pressed the gas pedal for approximately one second. While only a short time, this was enough time to roll into the middle of traffic, but not get out of the way. This throttle hesitation/delay happened twice more in the same trip.
While at a four-way intersection, I went to press the throttle, and there was a very significant lag in acceleration, almost causing an accident.
Vehicle hesitates and starts to lose power and stall while driving. Toyota will not take action even though a recall has been issued and a letter in hand.
Throttle hesitation. Seems to be a widely experienced issue with many third gen tundra owners. Press the gas, expecting the truck to drive, but it just lags a few seconds, then will finally engage and begin driving. Has put me in some close calls in traffic.
As I was drive home at 45 mph the vehicle started surging and then the engine started knocking. then I stopped the vehicle and called Toyota for a tow. The truck was towed to the local dealer (Sheehy Toyota) for inspection. upon inspection the motor has a bad knocking in the lower end of the engine. The truck is now in the shop getting the engine disassembled. believed to be a main bearing failure. The truck has 9,229 miles on it. light use and had the oil changed 500 miles prior by the dealer.
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding my 2024 Toyota Tundra, which I purchased approximately five months ago. On two separate occasions while driving, the vehicle unexpectedly lost power. The first incident occurred while I was driving on the highway, which was extremely concerning from a safety standpoint. The second incident happened after I came to a complete stop and attempted to make a turn; the vehicle did not respond and had no power. In both situations, the power returned on its own moments later. These incidents raise serious safety concerns, especially given that the vehicle is relatively new. I am requesting a thorough inspection of the vehicle to identify the cause of this issue and ensure that it is resolved permanently. I would also like this concern documented in the vehicle’s service history. Vehicle Information: VIN: [XXX] Please advise on the next steps to address this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
After a complete stop vehicle acceleration lags when pressing accelerator.
While driving I noticed a slight knock, about 10 miles further down the road the dash said engine has stopped pull over. No check engine or other lights were illuminated before or after this. The truck had a terrible noise when I tried to restart it, but it would not turn back on
Throttle lag/hesitation. When pressing the gas pedal from a stop nothing happens for more than 5 seconds or longer. There is significant lag before the vehicle will accelerate.
I have 23k miles on the vehicle and the tires have prematurely failed. I have gone to Toyota and they have referred me to Falken as they do not handle tire wear issues. In reviewing with Falken, this is a common issues with Toyota and they are blaming the fact that Toyota sold the Tundra's out of alignment to customer, resulting in significant tire wear on outer edges and on flat surface tread of tires. I have again escalated this with Toyota but they will not take ownership and neither will Falken. I am at a loss and I cannot believe that a tire would already need to be replaced at such low mileage. This tire should not be put on anyone's vehicle if it cannot be verified as offering any kind of warranty, resulting in unsafe conditions.
I am reporting a latent manufacturing defect in my 2024 Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX (Hybrid). This vehicle is equipped with the V35A-FTS engine, which has been officially recalled in non-hybrid Tundra models (NHTSA Recall 25V767) due to internal machining debris that causes catastrophic engine failure. Current Situation: Although my vehicle has not yet experienced a total engine seizure, it contains the exact same engine architecture and manufacturing origin as the recalled units. I am filing this complaint because Toyota has excluded the Hybrid models from the safety recall, citing that the electric motor acts as a safety backup. Safety Concern: My safety and the safety of my passengers are at risk because this "safety backup" claim is unproven and potentially false. Data from other owners suggests that a catastrophic V35A engine failure triggers a system-wide "Hybrid System Malfunction," which can disable all motive power, power steering, and braking assist. Driving a vehicle with a known "ticking time bomb" defect—where the engine could seize at highway speeds—creates a high-risk environment for a high-speed collision. Request for Action: I am urging the NHTSA to investigate the i-FORCE MAX Hybrid models and compel Toyota to expand Recall 25V767 to include all V35A-equipped hybrid vehicles. The exclusion of the hybrid model is a bypass of safety protocols that leaves owners like myself driving a vehicle with a documented manufacturing flaw that the manufacturer has already admitted requires a full engine replacement in other configurations. Inspection: The vehicle is available for inspection; however, the defect is internal and was caused during the manufacturing process, making it invisible to standard dealer inspections until the point of failure.
The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the low engine oil warning light illuminated. The vehicle independently switched to Hybrid. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the road, and the engine seized. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine had experienced oil starvation, causing the rod bearings and engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be rebuilt or replaced. The engine was being rebuilt but was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 44,186.
Vehicle lag / hesitation after pressing the gas pedal.
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.
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
The vehicle experiences throttle lag from stop or when rapidly accelerating from one speed to another(passing on highway or merging on interstate). Pushing on the gas pedal does not receive an immediate response from the engine. Issue comes up when accelerating from a stop sign or merging/overtaking.
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.
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.

The high speed on the wipers is absurdly under powered. It is truly pathetic. The equivalent of low speed on every other vehicle on the road. You can NOT continue to drive in even a minor downpour, safely. Those who insist on doing so WILL cause, or be involved in crashes. Having owned 4 generations of Toyota vehicles amounting to several models, this downgrade is really, very shocking. We have always found our Toyota's to meet or usually exceed safety features. There is NO WAY that they sincerely believed this was "okay" or were unaware. It exceeds "obvious" failure by quite a margin. They simply WILLFULLY ignored IT!
Throttle hesitation from a stop, when pressing the accelerator truck does not move then suddenly will accelerate. This can cause delay when pulling in or out of intersections / traffic making it a safety hazard as the driver is not in control of the vehicle as it is random when it occurs. Multiple other vehicle owners of the same make model of this year and others of the same generation have made the complaint and nothing has been done to solve this issue.
