2024 Toyota Tundra: sudden loss of power

Filed Nov 6, 2026 · Brakes, Driver assistance · TX

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.

On Saturday, XXX, while driving on [XXX] toward [XXX], our 2024 Toyota Tundra (VIN: [XXX]) lost power and stalled at highway speeds with the warning: "Ignition On / Engine Off – Stop in a safe place." I made an emergency lane change with 6 vehicles trailing closely. After smoke expelled during restart attempts, Toyota Roadside towed the truck to Goldsboro Toyota at 5:15 PM. On Monday,XXX, Goldsboro Toyota exhibited negligent, misleading treatment. A receptionist falsely claimed they "ordered a new engine" for the recall and refused to release the truck to Midlands Toyota near our home in [XXX]. Despite written instructions on the intake form, we waited 7 hours with no update. On Friday, XXX, Toyota Corporate contradicted the dealer, confirming no technical remedy or engine currently exists for active federal Safety Recall 25TA14 (the federal safety agency [XXX]). This catastrophic engine failure created an extreme safety hazard that severely triggered my wife’s diagnosed ADHD and depression (Eggshell Plaintiff Doctrine). The dealer’s refusal to release our truck also disrupted my work during a critical corporate shareholder transition. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and state breach of warranty laws, we demand a Full Manufacturer Repurchase (Buyback): 1. Full payoff of our remaining loan balance to our lender. 2. Complete refund of all out-of-pocket payments: down payment, all $824 monthly payments, sales taxes, and county fees. 3. Full reimbursement for direct expenses and tax penalties. 4. Non-economic cash settlement for severe hardship, safety risks, and aggravated emotional distress. 5. 100% coverage of all statutory attorney’s fees as required by law.

I was driving when the car suddenly lost power and speed. The accelerator stopped working properly. Immediately, the check engine light came on for the first time on the instrument panel, along with the "Stop Parking" alert. I immediately called for a tow truck to take me to the nearest Toyota dealership.Toyota employees informed me that the transmission is damaged and needs to be replaced. I acknowledge that my 2024 Toyota Tundra has 100,000 miles.and that the factory warranty only covers up to 60,000 miles.But for such an expensive truck, it’s impossible for the transmissions to have a lifespan of only 100,000 miles.

On XXX6, while driving on the highway at approximately 89 mph and 36,714 miles, the engine misfired and the vehicle began shaking. The check engine light started flashing and a "reduced power, visit dealer" message appeared, along with a loss of motive power. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on XXX at 37,032 miles. The dealer's repair order documents stored diagnostic trouble codes for random misfires, and states that freeze frame data confirmed misfires on cylinders 3, 4 and 5 at 89 mph and 2700 rpm in direct injection mode. Despite this, the repair order was closed as "no issue found." No repair and no further diagnosis was performed. The dealer stated the condition could not be duplicated after driving the vehicle and idling it for about an hour. The vehicle is subject to an open safety recall for machining debris in the engine (the federal safety agency 25V767, manufacturer 25TB14), for which no remedy is available. The recall summary lists engine knocking, rough running, no-start and loss of motive power as symptoms, and instructs owners experiencing symptoms to contact their dealer. When contacted, the dealer stated the manufacturer is still developing a remedy and that the vehicle can either wait indefinitely or be picked up as is. The defect remains undiagnosed and unrepaired. The vehicle is available for inspection. The safety concern is a sudden loss of motive power at highway speed, which is the same risk identified in the manufacturer's own recall filing. No remedy has been made available more than ten months after the recall was filed.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40-45 MPH, the radio started blinking, and the vehicle lost power and stopped in the middle of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle; however, there was a burning odor, and white smoke was coming from the HVAC system and the engine compartment. The contact turned off and exited the vehicle and the smoking stopped. The contact called the local Police to assist with directing traffic while waiting for towing assistance. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer attempted to return the vehicle to the contact after 3 weeks without confirmation of the diagnostic results or any repairs.

* 2024 Toyota Tundra Limited non hybrid TRD Off Road with 43k miles with catastrophic engine failure with no warning. Started as a very slight ticking sound while doing about 60 mph level to slightly downhill. * I could only hear it with very light throttle input (between 2 and 5%). Past 5% and at 0 pedal there was nothing. This went on for about 1 minute then it started to get significantly louder and more noticeable with throttle input and while starting to go uphill. * Shortly after it started catastrophically knocking with dash saying loss of power and oil pressure. * I get it stopped and it immediately shut down on its own. Due to very little warning I was forced to pull over on a right curve of a highway potentially putting my family and as well as passing traffic in danger. * Engine leaking oil. Couldn’t find anything obvious where the oil was coming from. After doing some research it seems like the front and main crank seals started leaking. More noticeable on the rear seal. This was a dangerous situation because oil was leaking on the hot exhaust and could have cased a fire on the side of a highway. * The Toyota dealer has possession of the vehicle for repairs. They have not stated if it is possible to be available for inspection. * The dealer has inspected the vehicle and is in the process of ordering a replacement engine.

I am writing to formally express my concern regarding my 2024 Toyota Tundra, VIN [XXX], and the engine recall involving certain 2024 Tundra vehicles. I am very concerned about the possibility of engine damage or failure related to machining debris and the potential for loss of power while driving. This is a major safety concern, especially considering the vehicle is relatively new. I would like Toyota to confirm whether my VIN is included in the recall and provide a clear explanation of the required repair or inspection process. If my truck is affected, I am requesting that the recall repair be completed as soon as possible at no cost to me. I would also like confirmation regarding whether Toyota will provide a loaner or rental vehicle if my truck must remain at the dealership for an extended period, particularly if an engine replacement is required. Please document this complaint and provide me with a written response explaining the next steps and expected resolution. Thank you, [XXX] Vehicle: 2024 Toyota Tundra VIN: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled and lost power. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership for diagnosis, where the same stalling condition was reproduced and confirmed during a dealer road test. The vehicle had to be towed back to the dealership, where the engine was found to be seized. The sudden loss of power while driving created a serious safety concern because the vehicle could become disabled without warning and lose motive power in traffic. The failure was confirmed by the authorized dealership, and the vehicle and engine were available for inspection during the repair process. There were no known warning lamps, diagnostic messages, or other clear advance warnings that would have allowed me to anticipate the engine failure before the vehicle stalled.

My 2024 tundra with 55000 miles suddenly lost all power going down a major highway. The engine failed suddenly. Luckily I didn’t wreck. I paid out of pocket to have it towed to dealership where it has sat untouched for 9 days. The engine is included in the recall that they have.
