A dashboard warning message “Engine coolant temp too high” came on during normal driving in traffic. I pulled over and got the temp down and the light to go off but it came on again later. I immediately took it to the dealership. They diagnosed that the problem was due to a leaking radiator possibly caused by rubbing against the fan shroud and the remedy was to replace the radiator. The mechanic who diagnosed this issue on my truck stated that he’d seen this issue before. After calling around to other dealerships for pricing I learned that this problem has been seen by most of the dealerships and the consensus I’ve gathered is that the rubbing/contact between the fan shroud and radiator is a design flaw causing the failure of the radiator. In my case, this is a big problem as it left me with a disabled vehicle and put me in an unsafe position with the potential to be stranded. Furthermore my truck with only approximately 43,000 miles on the odometer was out of warranty and the cost to replace this part is about $3,000! This is unacceptable and Toyota needs to recall and remedy this design problem and prevent unsafe and potentially hazardous situations for their customers.
The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at 5 MPH, the vehicle turned off and on unexpectedly. While stopped at a traffic light, the engine stalled. While parking at the residence, the failure recurred. The driver was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts, which required depressing the brake pedal multiple times. An unknown warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the rear brakes engaged unintentedly, and the suspension felt rigid while turning. The contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V767000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the engine required replacement, with an estimated repair timeframe of four days. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
On 10/30/2026 I was driving the vehicle and the engine started vibrating. Then the engine died and would not restart. The dashboard lights up when trying to start, but the engine will not turn over. I had the vehicle towed to Auto Nation Toyota Gulf Freeway in Houston, TX.
Recall was issued a year ago on my engine and toyota has yet to do anything about the recall. There is also a second recall for ym tailights , this has been over a year since the recall was issued. First they told me i was to get a new engine in june of 2026. Then in may of 2026 they told me a software test will be completed first to determine if my truck needs a engine. The dealer did state at that time , they are not equipped or trained to perform the service so they dont know when this will happen if ever.
While driving with out any warning engine started to shake really bad then shut down.
2023 Toyota Tundra. On July 20, 2026 and again on September 18, 2026, while driving, the truck suddenly lost power and went into limp mode. The dash showed 'Check Engine / Reduced Engine Power / Visit Your Dealer' at about 43,440 miles. The truck had to be towed to the dealer on a flatbed. Losing power without warning in traffic is a serious safety risk. Other ongoing problems: the brakes squeaked for over a year before they were fixed, the driver seat bolster plastic is broken (this would be the third repair), the radio volume knob has failed, and there is excessive wind noise. This VIN still shows open recall 25V767 (engine machining debris causing loss of motive power), which has not been performed despite two dealer visits for this exact failure.
Recall 25V‑767 (Toyota 25TB14) is open on my VIN with no remedy available. Full statement and sources attached. XXX 12 days after the recall was filed and before I had any notice, my check engine light was on at an oil change at Colonial Toyota, [XXX]. The tech showed me the dealer's video of it and the light was cleared. I reported rough running and hesitation pulling away, and fear of a stall in traffic. The only rental offered was a subcompact, which cannot replace my full-size truck or tow my trailer. I was told nothing could be done until Toyota released a fix. None of this is on the repair order. I stopped driving the truck; by mid-XXX it had 19,923 miles. I asked the dealer in writing on XXX for the video, the cleared-code record and their retention policy. No response. Toyota says the video was auto-deleted and that it found no codes, but produced no code report and no deletion record. Toyota met the federal safety agency about rising failures XXX my CT lemon law protection ended XXX; the recall was filed XXX. The first recall (24V‑381) replaced engines; this one uses inspection software, and is still not available for my truck. Six owners sued over this engine ([XXX] v. Toyota Motor North America, D. Vt. No.XXX. In XXX Toyota paid the federal safety agency $48.8 million in penalties, including for late defect reporting. Please review whether: the remedy is timely and adequate; dealers are clearing codes without recording them, keeping warnings out of recall data; owners get usable transportation; and Toyota reported this defect as promptly as required. I am also preparing a formal complaint to the United States Department of Justice. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Toyota seems in no hurry to resolve the engine issue. Now they are not wanting to replace these engines as first promised.. What happens where there is a catastrophic failure later on. Dealerships are no help. When were they made aware of the engine issue and continue to sell these trucks. We as truck owners need someone to be our voice.
