“When returning home from vacation towing my travel trailer. A warning light came on that said pull over immediately you have lost all power. I pulled over immediately and definitely had lost power and was stuck on a mountain pass. I called for a tow which took 7 hours. I called Toyota during that time and they couldn't tow me home just to the nearest dealer. My family and I had to wait for 7 hours on a small turnout on the road it was very hot that day. I had my truck towed to my local Toyota dealer and they confirmed it was the engine with metal shavings in the oil pan. Towing costs were 1102.50 out of my pocket as Toyota would not cover.”Owner report · Engine · Jun 2026

“The engine lost power and shut down at highway speeds which put myself and a passenger at risk for a crash. There were no warning lights or other symptoms before the engine shut down. After pulling the vehicle over to the side of the road, I attempted to restart the engine. The engine failed to turn over and start. The truck towed into a local dealership and is waiting inspection.”Owner report · Engine · Jun 2026
“Engine shutdown while driving (was towing a travel trailer at the time) and after coasting to a stop the engine would not start. After 10 minutes the engine would start, but had loud knocking. My 2024 Tundra only had 31,726 miles and had to be towed to the dealership. Seems to be the known engine issues with the redesigned v6 engine. Tundra has been in the dealership for 4 weeks and was told it will require engine replacement, but do not know when the new engine will be shipped. While Toyota will perform the replacement free of charge, based on the hundreds of thousands of Tundra's being recalled for this very issue, I no longer trust this engine design (replaced or not).”Owner report · Engine · Jun 2026
“2024 Toyota Tundra experienced a serious safety event. While travelling on the highway at 60mph speeds in traffic when the truck suddenly blinked a loss of steering warning light then immediately blinked engine failure warning light. The truck lost power and the engine completely shut down in traffic going down a long, steep hill. I was able to reach the bottom and pull over but the truck would not restart. I had to have the truck towed to a Toyota dealership near my home.”Owner report · Engine · Jun 2026
