2024 Toyota Tundra transmission problems

Filed Oct 12, 2026 · Brakes, Engine · FL

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.

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.

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.

The TCM is faulty. There is a tsb so Toyota is well aware of the issue. They will not take care of it under the power train warranty. The TCM doesn't shift the vehicle correctly. This lag and funny shifting almost caused an accident.

I own a 2024 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition with approximately 37,000 miles. On or about XXX, while driving, the vehicle displayed a “Check Engine” warning, “Reduced Engine Power” message, and the Pre-Collision System became disabled. The vehicle immediately became sluggish and lost power during acceleration. The loss of power created a safety concern because the truck was unable to accelerate normally when entering and crossing intersections. I did not feel safe continuing to drive the vehicle, especially while transporting my 9-year-old daughter. Due to the safety risk, I parked the vehicle and have not driven it since the warning first occurred. The warning lights remain active. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by a Toyota dealer because I do not believe it is safe to drive to the dealership. I am requesting dealer evaluation and towing assistance. The component that failed is currently unknown. The vehicle is displaying a check engine light and reduced engine power condition. The condition can be inspected and diagnosed by Toyota. No crash, injury, or property damage occurred because I immediately stopped using the vehicle once the safety concern became apparent. I am submitting this complaint because a sudden reduction in engine power while driving creates a significant traffic safety hazard.

While driving my 2024 Toyota Tundra Hybrid, the engine suffered a catastrophic seizure at approximately 37,974 miles. The dealership retrieved substantial metal machining debris (swarf) from inside the engine, which had contaminated the #1 main bearing. This is the exact same manufacturing defect Toyota has publicly acknowledged in multiple safety recalls for 2024 Tundras. Service Manager Dan Moran at Toyota of Colorado Springs confirmed during a recorded call that his dealership has seen the identical debris-related engine failure in other hybrid Tundras. Despite this, Toyota excludes all hybrids from the recalls. Even with clear physical evidence matching the recalled defect, Toyota directed an in-house rebuild (using a new short block but many of my original contaminated components) instead of providing a full factory crate engine. I was never offered a choice in the remedy. This sudden engine failure created a serious safety hazard due to unexpected loss of power. The current repair does not fully eliminate the known root cause (manufacturing debris contamination). The vehicle was well within warranty at failure and remains so. The dealership has the debris and full repair records available for inspection. I have also submitted the debris photo, repair documents, and recorded call summaries to NCDS (Case #[XXX]) and the Colorado Attorney General’s office.
