2024 Toyota TundraRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“I am the original owner of a 2024 Toyota Tundra Limited Nightshade equipped with the 3.4L twin-turbo V6 engine, purchased brand-new from Kerry Toyota in Florence, Kentucky, in July 2024. The vehicle is titled and registered in Indiana. At approximately 33,000 miles, my truck experienced an unexpected engine shutdown while driving highway speeds. I brought it to an authorized Toyota dealership- Kerry Toyota, Florence Kentucky for inspection, but was informed that no issues were found after they had the truck for weeks. Now, at approximately 41,000 miles, my truck has experienced another engine shutdown while traveling approximately 50 mph. After sitting for about 10 minutes, the engine restarted slowly and began making a knocking noise. The truck is currently at a Toyota dealership- Kerry Toyota awaiting inspection. I am extremely concerned about the safety of this vehicle, particularly because I previously reported a similar shutdown and the underlying issue was not identified or resolved.”

“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 (NHTSA 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.”

“2 issues to report: 1. Truck has a pull to the right since new. Found the front strut springs installed wrong. Attached photos show 2024 tundras on the dealer (pink dot on drivers side, yellow dot on passenger side) lot vs. mine (pink dot on passengers side, yellow dot on drivers side). Dealer corrected. Following repairs, pull is much better, but still present. Over 20 alignments completed; 3 by toyota and 3 by 3rd party. Problem continues. I believe it is a manufacturing defect in the safety equipment, suspension, or bent frame. 2. Toyota recalled V35A engines through my manufactured date. Because mine is a hybrid, it was excluded. Crankshaft main bearings seize due to a defect. I am forced to drive a vehicle on public roads while toyota recognizes the issue.”
