2023 Toyota Tundra power train problems

“Recall was issued a year ago on my engine and toyota has yet to do anything about the recall. There is also a second recall for ym tailights , this has been over a year since the recall was issued. First they told me i was to get a new engine in june of 2026. Then in may of 2026 they told me a software test will be completed first to determine if my truck needs a engine. The dealer did state at that time , they are not equipped or trained to perform the service so they dont know when this will happen if ever.”

“2023 Toyota Tundra. On July 20, 2026 and again on September 18, 2026, while driving, the truck suddenly lost power and went into limp mode. The dash showed 'Check Engine / Reduced Engine Power / Visit Your Dealer' at about 43,440 miles. The truck had to be towed to the dealer on a flatbed. Losing power without warning in traffic is a serious safety risk. Other ongoing problems: the brakes squeaked for over a year before they were fixed, the driver seat bolster plastic is broken (this would be the third repair), the radio volume knob has failed, and there is excessive wind noise. This VIN still shows open recall 25V767 (engine machining debris causing loss of motive power), which has not been performed despite two dealer visits for this exact failure.”

“Recall 25V-767 (Toyota 25TB14) is open on my VIN with no remedy available. Full statement and sources attached. XXX 12 days after the recall was filed and before I had any notice, my check engine light was on at an oil change at Colonial Toyota, [XXX]. The tech showed me the dealer's video of it and the light was cleared. I reported rough running and hesitation pulling away, and fear of a stall in traffic. The only rental offered was a subcompact, which cannot replace my full-size truck or tow my trailer. I was told nothing could be done until Toyota released a fix. None of this is on the repair order. I stopped driving the truck; by mid-XXX it had 19,923 miles. I asked the dealer in writing on XXX for the video, the cleared-code record and their retention policy. No response. Toyota says the video was auto-deleted and that it found no codes, but produced no code report and no deletion record. Toyota met NHTSA about rising failures XXX my CT lemon law protection ended XXX; the recall was filed XXX. The first recall (24V-381) replaced engines; this one uses inspection software, and is still not available for my truck. Six owners sued over this engine ([XXX] v.…”

“My radiator leaked engine coolant fluid while driving. The fan shroud warped from heat and rubbed against the radiator and punctured a hole in the radiator causing a slow leak. My vehicle became inoperable and had to pull over. It's been confirmed by the dealership and has a report No warnings prior to failure, though the leak look to have been a slow leak that was in the engine bay and on driveway just faintly so it had been an issue that had been progressing over time. The warnings first appeared for high temp when the coolant was totally out and mentioned the vehicle was overheating and to pull over.”

“On XXX my 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited’s check engine light came on and after consulting with my service center, Jones Toyota in Bel Air, MD, via phone I brought the truck into Jones to be assessed. Jones diagnosed the problem and determined a physical failure of the passenger-side turbocharger. The vehicle is currently disabled and located at Jones Toyota in Bel Air, MD, undergoing service for the turbo failure. My vehicle is also subject to active safety Recall Campaign 25TA14 for manufacturing debris in the V35A engine block, but the dealership and manufacturer are treating the turbo failure as a separate repair item and have not linked it to the recall in writing. Operating a twin-turbo V6 platform experiencing sudden propulsion and turbo loss—while an open, un-remedied main bearing engine recall remains pending on the same vehicle—presents a severe underlying safety and mechanical failure pattern putting anyone in the vehicle or on the road with the vehicle when its being operated at risk”

“-Our Toyota Tundra Hybrid suffered total catastrophic engine failure due to metal shavings found throughout the engine and oil system. This is the same issue that prompted NHTSA ID Number: 25V767000 recall of Toyota's V35A engines. The tundra is available for inspection. -Statement regarding safety put at risk by my husband: I felt a vibration from the engine compartment (seeming to come from the front right side) and then I suddenly lost complete power. I was traveling in the number one lane (the fast lane). I immediately put my hazards on and had to navigate to the number two lane and then over to the narrow shoulder under no power whatsoever. I had to navigate around multiple semi-trucks. This was a very dangerous situation and I barely got it over to the shoulder. If my teenage daughters were driving this car they likely wouldn't have been able to safely navigate it across two lanes with no power in the setting of multiple semi-trucks on a two-lane divided highway. Again, a very dangerous situation. I shut down the engine and waited five minutes and restarted it. Shifting into gear the warning indicator said 'hybrid system disconnected'. -The total…”
