My vehicle has had rough idle, and at times it hesitates where I've come very close to being struck by another vehicle.

at low speed the ADCC. FWRD Collison sensor was triggered and the brakes applied which cause the engine and engine powertrain along with the brakes to lose power and did not function as it was designed. The system was to slow and not enough power in engine to compensate for the TSS to activate and lost control temporary, and the object it was trying to avoid the collision with was a parked vehicle. My engines OIL PRESSURE gage at a low speed will at times go past 3/4- 4/4 (80-95%) and normal operation is 1/2 (50%) . I was driving on highway 90 headed east to work at 730am and while in the fast lane my truck SPLUTTERD and lost power and engine light and dash reading said POWER LOSE and my speed dropped to 55 estimate and would not throttle up. for a few seconds the brakes and engine sounded as it was shutting down and I was able to mange the truck to the slower lanes and made it to work at slow speed. The truck when sits for day at a time and when I decide to use it and start it up the truck SPLUTTERS and shakes for a brief moment until warms up. I have a huge gas efficiency problem and MPG use to read in the mid to high 20 now it reads mid 10 to 18 area. the truck is not meeting its efficiency as stated when purchased. the car hesitates and splutters if the throttle is used and the delay boggles the truck engine performance which can lead to loss of steering. The dealership says it was the airflow sensor yet they never changed it or replaced it and i now know that sense mile 6 of purchase the engine has been failing and Toyota refuses to fix or correct the engine issue or give false or misleading details and information and will not correct issues. TBE claim details and facts and images are ignored and denied by TBE. I can submit images of the dash and speed. As well as the Oil pressure gages which are obvious signs of the engine recall issues.

Metal accumulating in oil at increasing rate Multiple recorded stall events IN TRAFFIC -- where I was almost hit by crossing traffic when breaking an intersection I have cases with Toyota open but no one will do anything until the engine totally fails -- this is a 2024 HYBRID -- not covered by the recall Heavilly documented and confirmed by the dealer and Toyota but no one will do anything to remedy the issue.

There is a bad throttle lag. Sometimes when you pull out onto the road it lags so bad that you can’t build speed quick enough for merging into traffic.

I am the original owner of a 2024 Toyota Tundra Limited Nightshade equipped with the 3.4L twin-turbo V6 engine, purchased brand-new from Kerry Toyota in Florence, Kentucky, in July 2024. The vehicle is titled and registered in Indiana. At approximately 33,000 miles, my truck experienced an unexpected engine shutdown while driving highway speeds. I brought it to an authorized Toyota dealership- Kerry Toyota, Florence Kentucky for inspection, but was informed that no issues were found after they had the truck for weeks. Now, at approximately 41,000 miles, my truck has experienced another engine shutdown while traveling approximately 50 mph. After sitting for about 10 minutes, the engine restarted slowly and began making a knocking noise. The truck is currently at a Toyota dealership- Kerry Toyota awaiting inspection. I am extremely concerned about the safety of this vehicle, particularly because I previously reported a similar shutdown and the underlying issue was not identified or resolved.

Since about 5,000 miles I reported abnormal tire wear, alignment, harsh or delayed shifting, and braking problems to the dealer. Repair orders from January 2024 to December 2025 show about 7 dealer visits: rear brake work three times including a rear pad replacement around 22,000 miles and an earlier rotor replacement, two drivetrain/shifting visits (first was could not duplicate) plus recall 24TA02, a check engine light diagnosis, and moisture corrosion in the reverse lamps that disabled the backup lamps and camera. The dealer denied the reverse lamp repair as commercial use and I paid 957.37 in January 2025; Toyota later issued recall 25TA06 for the same water intrusion. My truck is also covered by engine stall recall 25TA14 (the federal safety agency 26V320), but the dealer reported the remedy was not available in December 2025. Losing the backup camera and lamps and an engine that may stall are safety risks, especially when towing and reversing a boat trailer.
