| May 2026 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | [XXX], [XXX] PM. 2024 Toyota Tundra Hybrid (i-FORCE MAX, V35A engine), 36k miles, original owner. Clear, dry pavement, evening daylight. Exiting [XXX] westbound at [XXX] , I merged into the far right lane at the second light for a right turn. A vehicle was stopped ahead at the light. Traveling 15-20 mph, I applied the brake for controlled deceleration. Right foot squarely on brake, not touching accelerator. Vehicle did not decelerate as expected. For 3-4 seconds the brake felt unresponsive — pedal felt soft and loose, lacking normal firmness. I pressed the brake fully to the floor. A dashboard warning appeared: “gas and brake pedals are being pressed simultaneously.” I was not, and had not been, touching the accelerator. I then heard engine RPM increase audibly, consistent with an acceleration command, while my foot remained fully on the brake. I felt forward thrust working against my braking. The warning cleared and brakes engaged. Vehicle stopped approximately half a car length from the vehicle ahead, narrowly avoiding rear-end collision. Automatic Emergency Braking did NOT engage despite conditions clearly meeting its criteria — stationary vehicle directly ahead, my vehicle approaching at 15-20 mph with no observable deceleration for 3-4 seconds. No collision warning sounded; no auto-braking intervened. Notably, this same AEB has previously engaged falsely in benign situations (e.g., backing near low vegetation), suggesting reliability/calibration issues. Prior manufacturer notice: On [XXX] at 15,412 miles, I reported to Camelback Toyota, Phoenix (RO #[XXX], on file): “vehicle lurches forward going from reverse to drive (now more consistent)” — dispositioned by tech 10210 as “vehicle is operating to spec,” no diagnosis performed. Same RO documented “rattling in neutral/at stop” — dispositioned “unable to duplicate.” Toyota was on notice of throttle-response symptoms 21 months before this safety event.

| May 2026 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | Manufacturer Recall Number: 25TB06 NHTSA Recall Number: 25V322 It has been over a year, and the manufacturer has not been able to remedy this recall | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE | I previously reported the safety issue truck pulls to the right after roughly 20 alignments. I leave the keep lane assist off because it exacerbates the safety issue. Recently, while trying to self diagnose the problem, I turned on the system before using an on ramp to I820. While accelerating on the on ram, the keep lane assist caused the truck to swerve left and then right. I immediately turned off the feature and the symptom stopped. This is a serious safety issue and can can injury and harm to the public. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ENGINE | I am filing this complaint regarding an active safety recall on my 2024 Toyota Tundra involving manufacturing debris left in the V35A 3.4L twin-turbocharged V6 engine during production. This recall has been open for multiple years and spans over 250,000 vehicles across the 2022–2024 Tundra, Lexus LX 600, and 2024 Lexus GX 550. The manufacturing debris causes damage to the engine’s main bearings, resulting in engine knocking, rough running, failure to start, and sudden loss of motive power while driving at speed — a condition Toyota itself acknowledges increases the risk of a crash. Toyota deployed a remedy consisting of full engine replacement; however, Toyota has since acknowledged that the replacement engines are experiencing the same failures, meaning there is currently no confirmed, working fix. Despite this, Toyota continued selling new vehicles with this known defect. Remedy deadlines have been repeatedly promised and repeatedly missed, with the latest expected resolution pushed to July/August 2026 — a deadline that has already slipped multiple times. As an owner, I am left driving a vehicle that Toyota acknowledges is dangerous, with no confirmed timeline for a legitimate repair, and suffering significant financial harm due to the ongoing depreciation and diminished resale value caused directly by this unresolved defect. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | VISIBILITY | Prior to the oil change service, the front AC vents were functioning properly. Immediately after the dealership serviced the vehicle, the front vents stopped blowing air. This issue was not present before the visit. Regardless of whether the dealership believes an oil change “should not” affect the AC system, the fact remains that the problem arose directly after the vehicle was in their possession. (In 93 degree weather) Diagnosis determined that the AC front air outlet servo motor was stuck off and that the AC blender box would have to be replaced to remedy the issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ENGINE | I was driving on the freeway in my Toyota Tundra when it suddenly shut off completely. It was honestly terrifying because my first thought was getting rear-ended in traffic. After about 15 seconds, the truck randomly turned back on by itself, but the whole situation really shook me up. A vehicle that new shouldn’t be doing something that dangerous. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED, NO DEALER ADVICE TO REPLACE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE WENT FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO LIMP MODE ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF WARNINGS CAME ON SECONDARY BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE, HYBRID CONTROL FAILURE , STOPED ON THE SIDE OF ROAD TRUCK STALLED THEN RESTARTED NORMAL THEN ALL WARNINGS CAME BACK AND BACK TO LIMP MODE, PROBLEM COMFIRMED BY DEALER IN EL PASO ALMOST 300 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, NOT SURE WHO THE DEALER SHOWED TO , AND NO PRIOR WARNINGS AT ALL BEFORE THIS HAPPEND AT 51K MILES ON MY 2024 TOYOTA TUNDRA. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN | THIRD RECALL - Just Issued May 20, 2026 NHTSA Campaign 26V320000 43,566 additional vehicles (2024 Tundras including mine) Brings total recalled to 272,566+ vehicles Remedy status: "Currently under development" Two years and three recalls later, Toyota STILL has no proven fix The Pattern: First Recall (24V-381) - May 2024: 102,000 vehicles (2022-2023) Second Recall (25V-767) - November 2025: 127,000 vehicles (added 2024s built AFTER Toyota claimed fix) Third Recall (26V-320) - May 2026: 43,566 MORE vehicles, still no remedy Toyota is slow-rolling the true scope while claiming each time they've "identified all affected vehicles." MY OIL ANALYSIS - Objective Evidence of Bearing Damage Blackstone Labs analysis at 5,500 miles (July 2024): At just 5,500 miles, my engine was already showing 3-6x elevated bearing wear. Significance: This was done before any recall was announced for my truck (independent documentation of defect) Proves debris causes measurable damage even at very low mileage I'm now at 15,000+ miles approaching the 20k-30k failure range Toyota has provided zero guidance about damage progression Attached: Full Blackstone Labs report TOYOTA'S SMOKING GUN ADMISSION Before I did this oil analysis, I called Toyota customer service to ask if my 2024 truck was affected in the first traunch of recalls. They told me my vehicle was manufactured 5 months AFTER the issue was discovered and that my truck was not affected. Then in December of 2025 a second recall and now mine is in that recall. Toyota admits they discovered the contamination problem, then continued building engines with the same defect for at least 5 more months before my truck was built. This wasn't an oversight—this was deliberate production and sale of defective engines while publicly claiming the issue was due to machining material left in the block. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,EXTERIOR LIGHTING | The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V322000 (Exterior Lighting) and 25V767000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ENGINE | I have a 2024 Hybrid Toyota Tundra which shares the same engine that has undergone a NHTSA recall. I do not believe that the defect has been satisfactorily addressed to mitigate the risk of catastrophic engine failure in the V6 engine. I would like the recall to include the hybrid models as well for this well known and documented engine failure risk. I have not yet had any problems with the engine yet and am addressing the other separate recalls for this model. From a safety and liability perspective, I feel that Toyota has an obligation to provide the same warranty extension assurance and if needed, engine replacement as the gasoline only variant. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES | In the 2024 tundra if there is a camera misalignment for the 360 degree cameras or reverse cameras. It sets off a code that makes the trailer brake say disconnected even when connected. I took the vehicle in and had the cameras recalibrated then the brake worked. On my last trip pulling a 4,000 lb trailer the cameras came out of alignment so my trailer brake stoped working mid trip. This is a safety issue that can cause a accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ENGINE | STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN IT CHANGED TO GREEN THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. DISPLAYED HYBRID SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING, SHIFT INTO PARK. WE WERE THE FIRST VEHICLE AT THE LIGHT IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA WITH NO SHOULDER. TRAFFIC TRYING TO MANOUVER AROUND OUR VEHICLE WERE AT RISK OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. PARAMEDICS ARRIVED TO TRY AND DIRECT TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY VERRIFIED THAT THE ENGINE SIEZED. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | STEERING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE | 2 issues to report: 1. Truck has a pull to the right since new. Found the front strut springs installed wrong. Attached photos show 2024 tundras on the dealer (pink dot on drivers side, yellow dot on passenger side) lot vs. mine (pink dot on passengers side, yellow dot on drivers side). Dealer corrected. Following repairs, pull is much better, but still present. Over 20 alignments completed; 3 by toyota and 3 by 3rd party. Problem continues. I believe it is a manufacturing defect in the safety equipment, suspension, or bent frame. 2. Toyota recalled V35A engines through my manufactured date. Because mine is a hybrid, it was excluded. Crankshaft main bearings seize due to a defect. I am forced to drive a vehicle on public roads while toyota recognizes the issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ENGINE | Toyota issued a recall (NHTSA 25V322) over a year ago. We are now more than a year beyond the issuance date of this recall and Stop Sale order for affected vehicles. There is still no remedy available for this recall and from what I can tell, none in sight. Additionally, on 11/6/25, Toyota issued a recall (NHTSA 25V767) related to potential engine failure. Over 6 months after this recall and Stop Sale notice there is no remedy available. Both of these issues go beyond what most would consider remedying the issues in a “timely manner”. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| May 2026 | ENGINE | While driving to dinner in Bluefield< West Virginia on Saturday evening, I came to an intersection where I was making a left hand turn with a green arrow on the light. As I approached the intersection, I slowed to something under 10 miles an hour and proceeded to initiate a left hand turn. As I rolled onto the throttle, there was no response from the engine for approximately 15 seconds. The engine remained at idle as I coasted through the turn. I continued applying throttle with no response until I reached approximately 50% of throttle pedal travel, at which time the engine sputtered then accelerated rapidly. This is not the first instance of this issue. It has happened on at least 4 different occasions in the past. The issue is intermittent and could easily result in an accident if it occurs while pulling out into traffic - which is what happened the first time it happened to me with the oncoming traffic being forced to take evasive action. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ENGINE | While driving highway speeds. The vehicle lost power. A warning light came on saying no power to the vehicle. The sudden lost of power to vehicle locked my power steering. Vehicle would not drive. When attempted to restart vehicle. The vehicle would not turn over and burning smell came from vehicle. Toyota stated it was the engine that failed due to recall 25TB14. It’s now 05/19/2026 and no repairs have been completed and no expected repair date. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | STRUCTURE | I am filing this complaint regarding a premature material failure on my 2024 Toyota Tundra. The factory-applied smoked overlay finish on the front grille is peeling and separating in large chunks, exposing the chrome underneath. This is occurring at approximately 46,000 miles and less than two years of ownership. This is not normal wear and tear, fading, or minor cosmetic deterioration. The finish is physically delaminating from the grille surface, which appears to indicate a defect in the manufacturing or application process of the factory-installed material. The vehicle has been properly maintained, has not been modified, and has not been subjected to misuse or environmental damage beyond normal driving conditions. Toyota and the dealership denied coverage, citing mileage limitations and categorizing the issue as cosmetic wear despite the obvious premature failure of the factory finish. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ENGINE | ubject: URGENT SAFETY INCIDENT REPORT: Engine Seizure at Highway Speeds – Case #xxx To the Toyota Safety & Compliance Department: I am writing to formally report a critical safety incident involving my 2024 Toyota Tundra (VIN: [XXX] ). Incident Description: While traveling at highway speeds, the vehicle’s engine suffered a catastrophic internal seizure and shut down completely without any prior warning. This resulted in an immediate loss of motive power in the middle of high-speed traffic. Because the engine died, I also experienced an immediate loss of power steering assist and power brake vacuum, making the vehicle extremely difficult to control. I was forced to perform an emergency maneuver to avoid a rear-end collision and struggled to steer the truck toward the shoulder while other vehicles swerved around me at high speeds. Safety Hazard & Manufacturing Defect: This failure is identical to the conditions described in NHTSA Safety Recall 24V-381 (Toyota Recall 25TA14). The dealership's diagnosis at AutoNation Toyota Weston confirmed that the bearings are discolored and "spun," which is a direct consequence of the manufacturing debris that Toyota has already admitted exists in these engine blocks. Bad-Faith Warranty Denial: Despite the life-threatening nature of this event, the dealership is attempting to blame "abuse" based on a software log from the Brake Override System. They are ignoring the fact that a metallurgical failure of the main bearings has no mechanical link to pedal input. Using a safety software record to deny a repair for a known manufacturing defect that nearly caused a fatal accident on the highway is unacceptable. Requested Action: I demand that this case be immediately reviewed by Toyota’s safety team. My vehicle manifested the exact defect described in the federal recall during a high-risk situation. I am requesting an immediate resolution to remove this dangerous vehicle from the road and to honor the terms of the INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | SERVICE BRAKES | Brakes start to make really bad noise at very slow speeds, specially when in reverse. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | SERVICE BRAKES | Parked on incline. Vehicle off. Vehicle automatically locked doors without operator intervention. Returned to vehicle. Vehicle beeped with associated lights flash when operator touched driver's extenal door handle. IMMEDIATELY the vehicle began rolling backwards downhill towards oncoming traffic. I was able to hop on running board, jump into driver's seat, press brake and start vehicle. The brakes engaged and the vehicle stopped before hitting oncoming traffic. Dealer found CODE P15AD87. Battery State Sensor (#28850-F4010) was replaced. Vehicle currently has 2,000 miles since repair on 01/23/26 without reoccurrence. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ENGINE | I was on the highway driving about 70 mph, when the engine suddenly turned off. The lights on the dashboard stated that I needed to pull over immediately. The truck was towed to a dealership who confirmed the engine was "destroyed" due to safety recall 25TA14. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | It is unknown exactly what causes the issue. But intermittently when taking off from a stop, the powertrain hesitates to respond to my input on the throttle. The hesitation lasts anywhere from half a second to a full second. This puts my safety and other driver’s safety at risk because I cannot reliably tell whether I will be able to pull out quickly and safely in front of an oncoming vehicle. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer on my particular vehicle. There has been no inspection. There are no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms. This issue has happened since the truck had only 9,500 miles on it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | ENGINE | While driving, I noticed that the vehicle seemed sluggish. Shortly after, I experienced grinding and knocking. The engine then stalled when I came to a traffic light. Fearing for my safety, I was able to get the engine to re-start to be able to pull off the road into a parking lot. At this point, the engine was barely running and making a ton of noise. There were no warning lights prior or after the incident took place. The vehicle was towed to my local Toyota Dealership who performed an inspection and determined that the Short block needs to be replaced, despite the contamination risk of other components. I have demanded that Toyota replace the engine with a complete new assembly, however, they are declining to do so. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
