Engine is running rough, Engine is idling very high went first start.,I am concerned about the temporary fuel line repair. I don-??t believe it is sufficient because we are dealing with fuel. Fuel line should be replaced along with the engine having debris in it, I am concerned with even driving it. A brand new truck shouldn-??t have all these recalls! This is like the 5th one. I pay to much money to drive a truck that I-??m scared of driving. At this point tell them to give me back my money and I will go purchase a horse. Thank you!

Purchased this vehicle in Oct of 2022. Since then, the vehicle lost all power and shut down on a major interstate in July 0f 2023 with many check engine lights coming on. After coasting to the shoulder of the road, I turned off the ignition, waited 15-20min, and the vehicle started. I continued my two hour drive back home, bring my truck into the dealer within 2 days of this occurring. The dealer looked at it, notified Toyota, and said they are seeing debris in the engines causing power loss, but that Toyota has not yet informed them of any remedies and to continue to drive the truck. A few months later, while towing a trailer the engine was making a knocking sound and lost power, only allowing me to reach about 2k RPM with the pedal to the floor. It lasted for about 10 min or so, and went away. After this incident, the truck makes a knocking sound while towing my 5K pound travel trailer, a few times every single time I tow. I did not bring it to the dealer for this issue. June 2024, I was towing my trailer for a camoing trip, and about 2 hours in to the 3 hour drive, the truck lost power and would not exceed 3K rpm or 45MPH on the interstate almost getting my hot by 3 different vehicles (the engine still knocks every time I tow), the loss of power lasted off and on until I made it to my camp site. I parked truck, and it sat for 3 days while we used our other vehicle to drive around in. On the way back home on that Sunday, the truck regained power, but would still make a knocking sound under load. I brought it into the dealer on the day after (Monday). I also uncovered thaty Toyota released a statement that all Dealer should stop selling my model year truck due to a "Safety Recall', one that describes the symptoms I've been having. The tech at the dealer was in communicaion with Toyota, and Toyota was teeling them that unless they could replicat ethe issue, there was nothing they could do. I have more to write.

This Engine Recall has me concerned for the safety and security of my family. The fact that my engine can stall and fail at anytime is unacceptable especially for how much I spent on this vehicle. Toyota should be buying these trucks back from us and issuing new ones that don't have this issue. We customers are stuck with vehicles we can't sell or trade in and it is very upsetting to spend 60k on a vehicle that is essentially unsafe and virtually worthless two years in.

At certain times, when coming to a stop, and then attempting to proceed, the throttle with delay or lag from a stop. This has happened since the start of ownership in Feb 2022 up until today. Toyota has issued on previous Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) - T-SB-0111-22 - that Toyota states should resolve an issue with "Hesitation From Stop and Surge Concerns". The TCM -Transmission Control Module - logic has been modiWed to address these conditions. According to Toyota, this updated logic SHOULD keep this from happening. This TSB was released December 16, 2022. To date, this issue continues to occur. The only way to keep it from happening is to Reset the TCM Learning. This requires the battery to be unplugged for an extended period of time. There was a subsequent TCM logic update for Recall 24TA02 (NHTSA Campaign Number 24V125000). It would seem that this TCM Logic Update has actually caused this condition to be present more often. This is something that we have expressed to our Service Consultant at every visit and it is still occurring over two years later. We have had this happen multiple times while attempting to proceed through a 4-way stop, as well as trying to merge into tra`c in slower moving city streets. There are members of an online forum who have been able to record the data aow and show when and how the delay occurs. Other than December 2022 TSB, Toyota has not acknowledged this issue even though it continues to occur on the MY22+ Tundra/MY23+ Sequoia, as well as the MY18+ Lexus LS 500. I am lead to believe this is a result of the programming for the Direct Shift 10- AT from Aisin/Toyota and/or the V35A-FTS, both Type '17 (LS 500) and the Type '21 (Tundra/ Sequoia).

In certain conditions, vehicle exhibiting unresponsive accelerator pedal. This appears to occur when vehicle is transitioning from a rolling stop to an acceleration condition. There is a 2-3 second delay and then the vehicle responds. T-SB-0111-22 has been applied to the vehicle, but condition remains This is causing an unsafe condition as one attempts to merge into traffic. Natural tendency is to apply more acceleration during these "dead pedal" conditions, and when power finally arrives, the vehicle lurches and sometimes will spin the tires. Numerous other people on forums have reported this condition and as of yet Toyota or Dealers have not been able to fix the problem

Drove the truck to the store, upon starting it to leave the engine had a loud knocking and whining sound (the truck has only 38xxx miles). I drove directly across the street to the dealership who looked and listened to it and was then told that because there was no engine light on, I would have to make an appointment for later on the following week. They then told me because the engine light was not on that I would be fine to drive home. I did question this several times and was reassured that as long as I did not "gas it" I would be okay to drive it. On the ride home, my truck power kept surging, the entire truck was shaking due to the rough idle and the engine smelt like it was very hot. I did end up towing my truck to a different Toyota dealership that agreed to look at it. The truck is no longer drivable. This is the 10th recall on this truck.

Traveling on interstate with cruise control set. 55, xxx miles. Engine abruptly stopped running. Display indicated "engine stopped. Please stop vehicle immediately". Safety concern: Vehicle would not re-start to get off the interstate. Towed to dealer. Dealer acknowledges engine is blown. Toyota guidance is to rebuild engine from parts only. Short block, turbos, heads, coolers, etc. Unacceptable. Complete assembly replacement is more cost effective for manufacturer and dealer both. Note: There were no codes displayed or other indication prior to the abrupt failure.

My 2022 Toyota Tundra was serviced regularly at the dealership since it was purchased brand new in December of 2021. I made a point to have it checked out as much as possible due to concerns that were raised by the dealer and online resources that the truck could possibly have major engine issues. On March 26th of 2024 I took my truck to the dealer to have it serviced and they completed everything necessary according to the maintenance recommendations. On April 1st, the following week after service, my engine cut off as I was merging onto the exit lane on I-40 in heavy traffic. I coasted to the bottom of the exit ramp and shifted the truck into park to try restart it. It would not restart so I was stuck in the middle of the ramp at a light until a tow truck came to assist me. After pushing the truck in the grass of the median it was loaded and taken to the nearest Toyota dealership. The next day I received a call that they would need to pull my oil pan to examine it due to the fact that they believed my engine was locked up. Once they pulled the pan and assessed the damage to the tune of $700, I was told that my engine and both of my turbos would need to be replaced because everything was full of metal shavings due to catastrophic engine failure. The total bill would be around $24000 for a truck that is 2 years old. Now the warranty on this particular truck is up to 60,000 miles and I am at 64,000. The dealership said that due to the fact that my truck was out of warranty I would have to take it up with Toyota. I have called Toyota customer care and still have not gotten anyone to respond to me. I called my local dealership where I have been getting my service and the manager stated to me that Toyota is aware of this issue but they are not recalling the vehicles yet. There are more than enough of these trucks with this problem to force Toyota to do something about it, but they have refused to accept responsibility for it. I could have died. I was lucky.

I had a 2022 Toyota tundra I bought it new and had it serviced at two Toyota dealerships. The truck had numerous recalls but my truck had no significant problems. I was on a trip 10 hours from my house when I heard a slight knocking sound and noticed oil on the ground under the truck. I checked the oil it was between the two marks but on the low side. I drove it to the nearest Toyota dealership to get it serviced. It was diagnosed with main bearing spun, metal pieces in oil and engine failure. The truck had 63k miles 3k outside of the warranty. There were no warnings lights or check engine or low oil pressure light on at anytime. It is hard to believe a truck can be serviced with no issues to blown engine with no warning lights. I believe Toyota knows about an issue with the early engines but are not informing the customers. If it happens under warranty the will rebuild the engine or buy back the truck. In my case it was 3k outside of warranty and the dealership and Toyota gave no goodwill warranty. I believe being serviced at a dealership they should have been checking the oil for metal particulate at each oil change. In order to fix the problem before engine failure. But that means they would catch more before warranty expiration. Never once were we offered an extended warranty either which I find strange if Toyota didn-??t know about the problem. We also had an employee at the Jackson location say she saw a know issue with my vin number before changing her story two days later.

I was driving on Highway 98 at 76 miles an hour. A light came on the dash said engine is low on power. Then immediately the car said to get to the side of the road the engine had shut off. This was in the middle of a drive on the interstate. I almost got hit by a truck. With family in the car. I made an appointment at our local dealer for all the recalls and they canceled it last Friday due to their service force being sick. This almost got me and my son killed.
