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)

Recall number 25V‑767 engine may stall during driving. I was told by my local Tempe Toyota dealership that my engine was going to be replaced and they would contact me when my line number came up. Now I learned that Toyota can't keep up with the demand so they are going to scan vehicles to see if there is any damage. My vehicle only has 20,000 miles on it so how can a scan determine that the engine will not fail at 60K. That's like telling someone that needs a heart transplant that there heart is beating good today so they don't get the transplant. Do people need to die to make Toyota liable. Toyota knew these vehicles were bad but they were allowed to continue to sell them year after year. It is a fact the #1 main bearing is defective. I don't feel comfortable putting my family in a vehicle that can seize up while going at a high speed. the federal safety agency it is your job to hold vehicle manufacturers to a high safety standard.

While driving the vehicle on a public roadway at approximately 70mph, the vehicle suffered a sudden and catastrophic powertrain failure without timely warning. The check engine light illuminated, the physical engine oil pressure gauge dropped to absolute zero, and the dashboard immediately flashed a critical "Hybrid System Malfunction" warning. > This mechanical and electrical failure triggered an instantaneous, total loss of motor power while traveling live lane with traffic behind me. The vehicle immediately stalled and became a completely inoperable, unresponsive rolling hazard. The vehicle failed to restart and left me stranded on a narrow shoulder which was very hazardous as traffic coming at high speeds could have easily rear ended me. The vehicle required a flatbed tow to an authorized Toyota dealership, and after submitting a case with corporate hoping for a trade assist(as my wife no longer feels safe in this chassis), I have been told it will take up to 45 days to process this request. I made a significant investment in this vehicle in January of 2023 and have since methodically kept up with maintenance, with hopes this vehicle would last me 10+ years. I find it highly inexcusable for Toyota to not consider speedily helping a loyal customer in this situation and making it right in a timely manner. I am now being offered a vehicle the same as mine of the current year and with me having to put over 22K in equity to close the gap. I should not be left on the hook for something that put my safety at risk and now has left me without the ability to travel as my family has lost their main method of transportation. Manufacturing defects should not come at the customers expense.

I purchased my 2023 Tundra new and from the beginning it stalled or jerked. This happens especially at low speeds. This has gotten worse and the only answer I get is you'll get a new engine at some point. Around 25000 miles the fuel pump went out on the truck and was replaced. I was initially told I would have a new engine installed by April, then May and still waiting. My problem is I paid high dollar for a nice vehicle, and it's basically been a repair concern from the beginning. Passengers in my vehicle ask what is wrong with your vehicle. The stalling/skipping/jerking is that obvious. Since Toyota is aware of this major issue why am I having to wait months for a repair??? This is not good business. On top of the engine replacement I asked at that time would the new engine have any type of warranty. I was told at the dealership it would not. This is alarming considering the issues I've experienced so far.

I am submitting this complaint regarding Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. and my 2023 Toyota Tundra, which is currently subject to Safety Recall 25V767 involving catastrophic engine failure risk due to crankshaft bearing contamination within the V35A engine. Toyota has acknowledged that my vehicle is included in the recall and has further acknowledged that the engine will require replacement. However, despite confirming the seriousness of the defect, Toyota has refused to repurchase the vehicle and has failed to provide any timeline whatsoever regarding when the engine replacement remedy will become available. Toyota’s position has simply been that the engine will be repaired “once a remedy is available,” without any estimated repair date or meaningful resolution for affected consumers. The recall itself states that the defect may result in engine knocking, rough running, engine no-start, and/or sudden engine stall. Toyota further acknowledges in its recall documentation that engine stall while driving can lead to loss of motive power and increase the risk of a crash. This is a major safety issue, not a minor inconvenience. I live and drive in [XXX] , where highway driving and high-speed traffic are unavoidable. Due to the risk of sudden engine failure or loss of power, my family and I no longer feel safe operating the vehicle under normal driving conditions. As a result, we have drastically limited use of the truck despite continuing to make monthly loan payments, insurance payments, and registration expenses. Additionally, the truck has experienced multiple other recall and repair-related issues since purchase. Several recalls have already required service visits, and additional unresolved recalls remain pending. The ongoing pattern of defects and unresolved safety concerns has substantially diminished my confidence in the reliability, safety, and value of the vehicle.
