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.

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.

Engine stalls or hesitates when taking off from a stop. When taking off from a stop the Truck will hesitate after the accelerator is pushed and not move forward. This hesitation causes me to push the accelerator more trying to get the Truck to move. When the truck does move it then lunges forward I assume because I continue to push the accelerator more trying to get the Truck to move. The engine in this Truck is also being recalled in Non Hybrid Models because they are seizing up. This is the exact same engine in the Hybrid and should be under the same recall for the engine seize defect.

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.

Vehicle: 2024 Toyota Tundra Double Cab | VIN: [XXX] | Mileage: ~19,200 No crash or injury has occurred. This report concerns an unresolved safety defect. My Tundra intermittently fails to accelerate when the gas pedal is pressed from a slow roll (3-18 mph). The engine revs but the vehicle does not move for 1-2+ seconds before the driveline abruptly engages. This occurs at intersections and during low-speed traffic transitions. It is worse on cold starts. I have experienced sudden unintended deceleration while attempting to enter traffic. This vehicle is covered under Safety Recall 25TA14 / the federal safety agency 26V320 ("Engine May Stall During Driving"). The TSB remedy was applied at my dealer on June 11, 2026. The remedy did not resolve the condition. I have OBD-II logs proving the defect persists post-remedy. Using Torque Pro at 10 Hz, I captured 55 instrumented hesitation events on June 11 alone -- 18 on the drive to the dealer before the TSB, and 37 after leaving. The worst single measurement shows a 1.7-second delay between pedal input and throttle blade response. My full dataset spans 131 events across multiple drives. Highway driving is completely normal throughout; the defect is exclusively a low-speed tip-in condition. The dealer has been unable to duplicate the condition across five repair order presentations since February 2025. The vehicle spent 105 days in dealer possession with no repair performed. I am reporting this as a failure of the Recall 25TA14 remedy on this specific VIN. Full OBD-II logs, GPS data, timestamped event charts, and all service records are available on request.

While driving, I noticed that the vehicle seemed sluggish. Shortly after, I experienced grinding and knocking. The engine then stalled when I came to a traffic light. Fearing for my safety, I was able to get the engine to re-start to be able to pull off the road into a parking lot. At this point, the engine was barely running and making a ton of noise. There were no warning lights prior or after the incident took place. The vehicle was towed to my local Toyota Dealership who performed an inspection and determined that the Short block needs to be replaced, despite the contamination risk of other components. I have demanded that Toyota replace the engine with a complete new assembly, however, they are declining to do so.
