* 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.

2024 limited, Hesitation when pressing accelerator. There will be no power for some time. then a sudden jolt of acceleration. The most memorable moments of this is when trying to turn left into a neighborhood while cross traffic is oncoming, trying to drive but the truck wont go. The indicator “Add or replace oil” comes on even just after being to the dealer to have my 15000 mile service checkup.I have only had oil changes at the dealer. The trucks brand new and costs too damn much to not have the dealer take care of this. Can see blue/gray smoke out of the tail pipe - proving the engines burning oil. I pointed this out and took video while dropping it off at the dealer, they acknowledged. Frequent rough starts, not every one but 3 out of 5, always accompanied by the smoke. Shifting is far too rough. From a stop to easing on the accelerator there is a large knock, smacking into gear. This isnt always accompanied by the hesitation either. The rough shifting occurs at highway speeds too. The dealership has had my truck 3 days tomorrow and the only information they give me is; “ the technician cant fix it without having to talk (back and forth {like phone tag}) directly with the engineers.” The only recall is for moisture accumulation in the reverse lights.
