2024 Toyota Tundra Engine Problems

Your 2024 Toyota Tundra iMax Hybrid started making a knocking sound, and after a dealership system update, the truck began stalling unexpectedly—once dangerously at a traffic light with oncoming traffic. Despite multiple visits to the dealership and weeks of waiting for Toyota corporate guidance, the dealer has not identified or fixed the issue, and you're concerned about driving the vehicle due to the stalling risk.

Your 2024 Tundra has experienced sudden loss of engine power while driving at low speeds, including a complete stall in the middle of an intersection with no warning light. This has happened multiple times, and your dealer diagnosed a complete engine failure that requires replacement. The dealer identified this as related to a recall (Campaign 25V767000), but the replacement engine part isn't available yet, so your vehicle hasn't been repaired.

Your low engine oil warning light came on while driving, and your truck automatically switched to hybrid mode. When you pulled over, the engine seized completely. The dealer found that your engine failed due to oil starvation, which damaged the rod bearings. Your engine will need to be rebuilt or replaced, and this happened at around 44,186 miles. The manufacturer has been notified and a case has been filed.

When you pressed the accelerator at a four-way intersection, your truck had a significant delay before accelerating, which nearly caused an accident. This throttle lag could create a dangerous situation when you need immediate acceleration. The issue may involve fuel delivery, ignition timing, or sensor problems that need diagnostic testing.

Your 2024 Tundra has lost engine power twice while driving — once on the highway and once while attempting to turn after stopping. In both cases, power returned on its own after a few moments. This is a serious safety concern that needs to be diagnosed and fixed. A dealer should perform a full inspection to identify what's causing the power loss and ensure it doesn't happen again.

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.

Your engine lost power while driving on the freeway, forcing an emergency stop. Toyota later issued a safety recall explaining that manufacturing debris may contaminate your engine and cause the main bearings to fail, resulting in engine stalls and loss of power—a serious crash risk. The dealership was unable to diagnose the problem when you first reported it, and Toyota is still developing a permanent fix. The remedy will likely involve engine inspection and cleaning or replacement of contaminated engine components.

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.

Your 2024 Tundra stalled twice while driving at 70 mph — once due to metal shavings in the engine (requiring engine replacement) and again four weeks later when a cable wasn't properly attached during that repair, which also caused a dead battery. You've also experienced a faulty passenger window that rolls down on its own and a false warning message on the dashboard. The dealer has made these repairs, but recall parts for the engine and lighting issues were not yet available when you first reported the problems.

Your 2024 Tundra's engine suddenly shut off while driving, and all warning lights came on. The dealership discovered there's a recall on the engine and your truck needs a complete engine replacement under warranty. The dealership is waiting for corporate approval to decide whether to cover the replacement under your factory warranty or the recall program, which hasn't finalized a remedy yet. Resolving this issue will require a full engine replacement, either through warranty service or the recall process.

While driving normally, your engine suddenly lost all power and the check engine light came on. When you pulled over, the engine wouldn't start again. You checked under the hood and didn't find any fluid leaks. The repair will likely involve diagnosing the check engine code to identify what caused the sudden power loss and engine shutdown.

Toyota has recalled non-hybrid 2024 Tundras due to manufacturing debris left inside the engine that could cause it to seize and fail. Your hybrid Tundra has the same engine and could experience the same problem, but Toyota has not included hybrid models in the recall. If the engine seizes from debris in a hybrid model, the vehicle becomes inoperable and creates a safety hazard. Resolving this issue typically requires engine rebuilding or replacement to remove internal contamination.

Your engine made a loud clanking noise while you were driving at about 35 mph, then the truck shut off completely and wouldn't start again. The dealership believes your engine has seized at only 32,000 miles, with no warning lights or symptoms beforehand. This will likely require engine removal and either a complete rebuild or replacement.

Your 2024 Tundra's engine suddenly failed while you were driving on the interstate with a child in the vehicle, forcing you to swerve off the road at high speed. The dealership identified the issue as the same defect that triggered recalls for 2022-2023 Tundra models, but your 2024 model wasn't included in the recall, so Toyota rebuilt your engine instead of replacing it. You're concerned about the safety and reliability of a rebuilt engine in a new vehicle, and Toyota denied your buyback request despite the serious safety risk.

Your engine shut down completely while driving on a country road with no warning signs beforehand, causing you to lose power steering and struggle to safely pull over. The dealership found catastrophic engine damage with metal particles in the oil pan, indicating severe internal engine failure. This issue has also been reported on 2023 Toyota Tundras. Addressing this will likely require engine replacement or a complete engine rebuild.

Your engine suddenly seized while driving at 60 mph, and your truck displayed an "Engine Shut Off - Pull Over" warning message. The engine won't restart, and the dealer confirmed complete engine failure at 45,000 miles. The manufacturer has been notified, and your truck remains at the dealership awaiting repair or replacement.

Your 2024 Tundra lost engine power while driving and wouldn't restart, with the check engine light on. The dealer found metal debris and contamination had damaged the front main bearing in your engine, requiring a partial engine rebuild. This issue may be related to a known NHTSA recall campaign for engine problems.

Your 2024 Tundra developed a loud knocking sound from the engine while driving. The dealer initially couldn't reproduce the problem and performed an oil change, but the noise returned five days later—this time extremely loud. When inspected again, the dealer found the crankcase had failed and metal shavings were present in the engine oil, requiring complete engine replacement. The dealer stated the failure was due to pre-existing flood damage and is not covered under warranty. The engine replacement would involve removing and installing a new or rebuilt engine.

Your check engine light came on while driving, but cleared after restarting. You noticed the engine idling roughly and found your oil level was 4 quarts low. The dealership diagnosed excessive blow-by and engine failure at 69,279 miles. Toyota refused to repair the problem because you didn't purchase an extended warranty.

Your engine has failed and metal shavings were found in the oil, indicating internal engine damage. This is a serious problem that suggests metal components inside the engine are breaking down. Your engine will likely need to be rebuilt or replaced, which may involve draining the oil, inspecting internal components, and potentially installing a new engine or short block.

Your gas pedal intermittently becomes completely unresponsive, meaning your truck won't accelerate when you press it. This creates a dangerous situation when pulling into traffic. The engine runs fine and no warning lights appear, but the accelerator simply doesn't work until it mysteriously starts working again. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the throttle control system, which may require checking the electronic throttle body, accelerator pedal sensor, or related wiring.

Your engine lost all power while driving on the highway at just 7,500 miles. The dealer discovered manufacturing debris inside the engine that damaged a bearing and caused the failure. The engine will likely need to be rebuilt or replaced, and Toyota should investigate whether this is a widespread manufacturing defect.

Your truck's engine is responding slowly and unpredictably to the gas pedal, creating a safety hazard. The problem happens randomly when accelerating from a stop or at highway speeds — sometimes the truck takes 3-5 seconds to respond, and occasionally it actually slows down when you press the accelerator. This unpredictable behavior makes it dangerous, especially when changing lanes or merging in traffic.

Your brand-new 2024 Tundra started showing low oil warnings after just 2,000 miles, and when checked at an independent shop, the oil level was found to be significantly low (around 4.5-4.7 quarts out of a 7.7-quart capacity). Shortly after, the engine failed and the dealer refused to honor the warranty, citing that an aftermarket oil filter was used instead of a Toyota-branded one, despite it being the correct specification. The dealer is demanding you pay approximately $25,000 for a new engine and won't provide a loaner vehicle or help with rental costs while the truck is out of service. Resolving this will likely require documenting the oil service records, pursuing the warranty denial through Toyota's corporate channels, and possibly legal action to challenge the warranty denial.

Your 2024 Tundra has been flagged for two recalls—one involving the engine and cooling system, and another for exterior lighting—but the repair parts aren't available yet. You're also experiencing brake lights that turn on and off intermittently. The dealer hasn't been able to diagnose or fix the problem, and you're concerned that the manufacturer is taking too long to release the necessary recall parts.

Your 2024 Tundra may have manufacturing debris left inside the engine that could potentially cause engine failure. Toyota has identified this as a safety recall (NHTSA 25V-767), but as of March 2026, no fix has been made available—over 4 months after the recall was filed. The owner is concerned about the extended delay in providing a remedy. Toyota should provide a repair plan and timeline to address this issue.

Your 2024 Tundra has been issued two recall notices for exterior lighting and engine cooling, but repair parts aren't available yet. You've experienced the vehicle jerking, failing to accelerate when you press the pedal, and stalling — this happened about ten times in one day with no warning lights showing. The dealer hasn't inspected or repaired the vehicle yet, and Toyota hasn't been formally notified of the problem. The issue may require engine diagnostics and parts replacement once the recall components become available.

Additionally, your engine stalled once while driving at 50 MPH without warning, though it didn't require a restart. Your vehicle is subject to two recalls, but the dealer confirmed replacement parts aren't yet available to complete the repairs.

Your engine occasionally loses power when driving through intersections, dropping to idle. When you press the gas pedal, there's a 3-4 second delay before the engine responds and the vehicle accelerates—this happens frequently. You can still steer and brake normally, but acceleration becomes unresponsive during these episodes. This issue likely involves the fuel delivery or throttle control system and may require diagnostic testing to identify whether it's a fuel injector, fuel pump, or throttle sensor problem.

Your truck experiences intermittent throttle lag when accelerating from a stop, particularly in traffic situations like intersections or merging into lanes. The engine may not respond immediately to pressing the accelerator pedal, then suddenly surge forward a moment later as if trying to catch up. This delayed response could create a safety hazard in time-sensitive driving situations. The issue likely involves the throttle control system or engine management computer and may require diagnostic scanning and potential software updates or sensor replacement.

Your truck hesitates and feels sluggish when you press the gas pedal from a complete stop, especially after the engine warms up. This delay makes it harder to move smoothly through traffic or make turns at intersections, which you find unsafe. The issue may involve fuel or engine sensor components that need inspection or replacement.

Your 2024 Tundra is part of a recall, but your dealership says you'll need to wait for Toyota to send you a letter and parts before they can fix it. Your truck is making a ticking noise and not running properly, and you're concerned about the safety risk while waiting for the repair.

Your truck experiences noticeable delays when you press the accelerator, and the transmission sometimes shifts harshly into gear, which occasionally causes the engine to stall. Starting the engine is also sometimes delayed. The dealer indicated this is normal operation, but you're concerned about these symptoms occurring frequently.

Your Tundra hesitates and loses power when you accelerate from a stop, causing the engine to shut down at intersections—a serious safety risk. About two months ago, your check engine light came on for low oil levels. The dealer found no leaks but added oil and recommended driving another 1,000 miles before returning. This hesitation issue combined with unexpected oil loss needs investigation to rule out internal engine problems or oil consumption issues.

Your truck experiences a lag or loss of power when coming to a complete stop, happening frequently (more than 12 times total). The dealer was unable to reproduce the issue during testing. Since your visit to the dealer, the problem has continued to occur multiple times. The truck has only 16,000 miles and was purchased new.

Your truck entered limp mode on the highway due to a cylinder 5 misfire, and after the dealer reset the codes without making repairs, it happened again with cylinder 3 misfiring on a later date. The second time, the dealer found a scored piston that required warranty replacement. You've noticed other 2024 Tundra owners reporting similar engine issues online, though no recall has been issued yet.

Your transmission produces a burning plastic smell when towing even a light trailer under 5,000 pounds. This suggests the transmission may be overheating during towing. Addressing this will likely involve having a transmission specialist inspect the fluid condition, transmission cooler operation, and potentially replacing the transmission fluid or cooler.

Your Tundra sometimes fails to respond when you press the gas pedal from a stop, then hesitates before moving forward slowly. You may also notice the engine misfiring and running rough when idling after starting. On one occasion, the vehicle suddenly surged forward at high speed after hesitating. No warning lights appear, and your dealer couldn't diagnose the issue because no error codes were stored in the computer.

Your truck hesitates for a second or two when you try to accelerate after coming to a stop, making it sluggish to move forward in traffic. This delay can be dangerous when merging or pulling into traffic. The issue likely involves your fuel system, ignition timing, or engine sensors that need diagnosis and adjustment.
