The vehicle is currently awaiting repair at the Toyota Dealership. The turbo froze. This is the second turbo to freeze on this truck. It was previously repaired by Toyota in April, 2024. This truck had 2,356 miles on it when the second turbo froze on July 31. The check engine light and reduced power indicators have displayed throughout both incidents. The service manager has yet to explain why this is happening in the engine system. As of today, I cannot find a recall on the truck when I use the VIN.

The tailgate opens on its own while I am traveling down the highway. I now have to brace anything I put in the bed of the truck lest the tailgate opens on the highway and I spill my load and cause a catastrophic injury or death on the highway. When shifting into Park, having to keep my brakes firmly engaged due to a periodic and rapid acceleration of the engine. At cruising speed, on the highway, a vibration that only occurs when climbing hills coupled with a rapid pulsing of the engine/transmission. At cruising speed, on a level ground, the transmission rapidly disengages and reengages. Weekly I have gauge and infotainment malfunctions wherein I have to turn off the truck and restart it to make the gauges work. The gauges just freeze and fail to respond. The compass flips direction. Malfunctioning gas gauge. The backdoors lock and will not unlock. Occasionally, when they lock, I have to crawl into the backseat, from the from seat and manually unlock the door from the inside of the truck. A flat tire where when I went to change it, the jack bent…in my driveway. I now have to carry a 3rd-party jack and tools to handle emergency repairs. A regular malfunction of the rearview mirror. A cracked drivers seat. 6-months after purchasing the truck, the door trim came off in my hand. When I spoke to the Toyota tech, he advised me that this was not covered under warranty, and suggested that some customers keep the trim off as “most of the trim was installed with double-sided tape and would just fail again”. Though, to be fair, he did offer to, at several hundred dollars a pop, keep replacing the trim every couple of months. While my Truck is parked in the garage, when the trucks system does an update, it opens my garage door.

Open recall on this Truck, dealer claims no parts available so unable to fix, I am afraid to drive this truck it should be considered a lemon for this fact alone ,bought this truck in April2023 recalled in Aug of 2023 and still not fixed,3000 miles on truck
We have had this vehicle about a year and a half, 2023 Toyota Tundra and have had to take it back and forth to McLarty Toyota for recall work. Concerning this particular recall, 24ta07-Engine may stall during driving, we were told is unfixable. If this vehicle cannot be fixed, we are demanding it be replaced with a reliable truck
My truck engine was stalled shortly couple times on me. 1- When I try to turn right to get out of my sub division in the morning, my truck stalled. I released the gas paddle and step on it again and this time the truck is going ok. Luckily the coming car be able to stop before hitting my truck. 2- One time I went out for lunch with a friend, when we got back to the company's parking lot, I tried to back up the truck and the truck one stalled. I released the gas paddle and step on it again and it is ok. My friend thought it may be the rain outside.
Toyota has recall, stall engine , knocking noise
When pressing gas pedal from a stop position the car hesitates for a couple seconds and then goes all while the gas is pushed down
Pulling into traffic from a stop or near stop (such as a stop sign or yield sign), the vehicle does not respond to the gas pedal. After significant lag / hesitation, the vehicle lurches forward. This has happened multiple times starting around September 2023, and the problem is worse when the engine is cold (cold mornings) although it happens at all times to some extent. It seems to have gotten worst and happens almost daily at this point. There have been several times that the lag / hesitation has left me sitting in the middle of an intersection and almost caused me to be hit by other vehicles. I have had the vehicle in to the dealer 5 times for this issue and have been told it’s “normal” or they cannot replicate it. On the 5th time, Toyota corporate sent a representative Anthony Merejo, who verified in email that he experienced the hesitation and was sending the data back to Toyota engineering to see if there was a fix. That was about 6 weeks ago and I haven’t heard back.
The engine has rough idle, the dealership says they see a misfire and they say is normal for the vehicle to do this, is a brand new vehicle I bought with 9 miles im at 14 thousands now, and the truck has died using the 4wd and completely turned off, i took it to the dealership and they said the same like the engine, they cleared codes and thats all, i dont trust this vehicle i left it stranded on the sand once and the recalls they dont have solutions for any of them, toyota is neglecting customers now.
I have lost engine power while driving highway speeds on more than one occasion. There is no consistency on when this condition occurs. The engine light comes on and the engine goes into limp mode. Under the current circumstances, my Tundra is unsafe and poses a hazard to me and communities at large. This is because there is something faulty with my Tundra that is causing the sudden loss of engine power. Once I pull to the side of the highway, turn off the engine, then restart the Tundra the engine light goes away and the truck operates normally and does not register a fault code.
While traveling at highway speed, with no warning my truck lost acceleration power. There were other vehicles in the road, and I had to travel across multiple lanes to get to an exit while the vehicle was continuously slowing down. This put myself and my children at risk due to the sudden loss of power. I was able to exit and turn the engine off, after which, the problem seemed to stop. I took my truck to the dealership where it was purchased to have them check the truck, and they were unable to reproduce the problem. Their inspection only showed them that there were engine misfires. They told me the issue would need to be reproduced or would need to happen to me again before anything could be done about it or before they could get Toyota involved. I did explain that I had the "Reduced Engine Power" and "Brake System Malfunction" warning light that, through my research, have been experienced with other Tundra owners when they had "engine failures."
The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal after a traffic stop or a traffic sign, the vehicle hesitated and stalled. The contact stated that several attempts were needed to restart the vehicle. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.
2 incidents to where the vehicle turned off on a heavy acceleratio. 1st incident -pulled out into traffic and accelerated heavily. Truck stopped and a warning light came on about emergency brake. I took it to dealer and the couldn't duplicate but called Toyota to talk to them qith no resolution. 2nd incident same thing heavily accelerated while pulling into traffic and car shut down with a different warning saying to pull over and restart truck. Took to Toyota with still no resolution There was about 10k Mike between the 2 incidents
While driving on the freeway, going about 65 mph and attempting to accelerate, the check engine light starting alarming and came on, and the vehicle engine shut off. I was able to somehow safely navigate the vehicle across multiple lanes of traffic without causing an accident. I lost power steering and any ability to accelerate. After being able to navigate to the side of the freeway, it took multiple times to restart the vehicle, but it did finally restart. During the remainder of the drive the issue did not occur again. I called the dealership where it recently was having recalls performed to have them look into the cause of this. They were able to tell me that the engine "stalled" but they had no resolution or desire to further investigate this matter. This is extremely disturbing to me as I am very lucky that this did not cause a major accident. I am currently pregnant with my second child and my son is [XXX] old. It is very scary to think that I could potentially be seriously harmed with my children in the vehicle if this even were to happen again.

- For the brakes, one month after the purchase date (November 2022), the brakes make a loud screech and to this date (17 May 2024), they still screech. I have took it into the dealer to report it and they still don't have a remedy. - My engine had something internally brake on Easter Sunday 2024. When I first took it to the dealer on Monday, it took a day or two and they found nothing wrong. I picked it up and noticed a loud tapping noise coming from the engine, I took it back to the dealer, the technician opened up the motor and found metal shavings all over the inside of the motor. I had it replaced within a month and a half later, wow, brand new and this is what happened.
When attempting to accelerate, the vehicle idles down and fails to accelerate for a period of 2-3 seconds. To initiate normal acceleration, fully depressing the accelerator pedal is required vs. a gradual depression of the pedal.
I was in the right lane on the 15 southbound from mesquite heading towards Las Vegas. Got into the passing lane to pass a semi and all power was lost after cutting over. I had to immediately cut over back to the right lane after passing the semi and pull over to the shoulder. This was a very dangerous situation and I have heard of others with the same vehicle going through the same thing. I do have video evidence of the situation as well. I will contact Toyota tomorrow
I have a 2023 Tundra 1794. From a stop there is a noticeable delay sometimes from the time I press the gas pedal to the time the truck actually starts moving. This has caused me to almost get into two serious accidents because the truck would not go.
While driving my new 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Hybrid, the car alerted of Hybrid System Malfunction, Secondary Collision Brake System Malfunction, Check Engine and Traction Control Turned Off. At this time, the system went in to some sort of Creep mode and wouldn't allow me to accelerate. The truck would barely move over 15 mph. I pulled over and shut the truck off, exited the vehicle, re-entered the vehicle and restarted the truck. The same alerts come back on. After a bit, the truck allowed me to start without the issues. I immediately took the vehicle to Toyota for service. Toyota is claiming it's a fluke, one-time "start sequence issue". I'm worried about this happening to me when I need to accelerate and not being able to accelerate. I searched the internet and others are having this issue. It seems Toyota needs to repair this and that it's a safety issue and able to prevent potential accidents.
Throttle lag on acceleration from a stop. More than 2 second delay
1. There is some sort of severe throttle lag/takeoff issue that happens intermittently, but almost always several times a day. always from a stopped position. 2.When you are turning left (going across the oncoming lane) you hit the gas pedal and nothing happens for 2-3 seconds and then it shoots off like a rocket ship. I have never been so close to a severely injured or more likely fatal car crash. this severity has happened twice, once with my daughter in the car. 3. Not yet. looks like there had almost been a class action law suit back to 2022 model year (same engine I believe). 4. No 5. No warning lights ever. as stated this is going back to 2022 and i haven’t visited a dealer yet as they tell the owners (there is no fix for the issue). hoping this forum can make a difference.
Merging into a highway vehicle lost power. Wouldn’t accelerate above 50 mph. Had multiple warning come on the dash, power lost, hybrid system failure, park daisy failure. Turned my hazards on a proceeded to safety. Definitely nerve racking, wouldn’t want this to happen when merging lanes in fast moving heavily traffic road. Accident waiting to happen. Toyota is completely silent about it.
