About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
NHTSA 25V-767 indicates potential issue with manufacturing debris in the engine potentially resulting in engine failure. Recall Status indicates "remedy not yet available". It has been over 4 months (11/6/25 to 3/19/26) since this safety recall was filed. This has been an unreasonably long time and Toyota should be compelled to initiate the remedy immediately and provide a detailed explanation as to why it is failing to meet its own code of conduct with respect to product safety and the law.

My vehicle is equipped with the same V35A-FTS 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 engine and #1 main bearing assembly that is currently under federal recall for catastrophic engine failure (Recalls 24V-381 and 25V-767). Despite the shared mechanical defect of machining debris and bearing tolerances, Toyota has excluded the i-FORCE MAX Hybrid models based on the assumption that the electric motor provides sufficient 'limp home' capability. I believe this is a critical safety oversight, as a sudden internal combustion engine seizure at highway speeds creates an unpredictable loss of motive power that a small hybrid battery cannot safely manage in high-speed traffic. I am filing this to urge the NHTSA to expand the recall scope to include hybrids, as the primary power source is fundamentally defective and prone to stalling without warning

The engine lost complete power. This is a 2024 Toyota Tundra I=Max Force Hybrid. The low Oil Pressure, Hybrid Malfunction, Check Engine lights all came on. i lost all power, steering, brakes, and had no Hybrid assist. I was nearly hit from the back. I was able to get help from people to push it out the highway. There was no warning prior to this happening. I have read about all the engine problems from the 22 and 23 year models and recalls are out. There are no recalls for the Hybrid 2024 engines, but this looks the same as what i am reading.

The vehicle while parked and not running on our driveway burst into flames and had large fire and explosions that burned the vehicle front half completely. the whole engine compartment burned and melted and destroyed the vehicle. No warning lights, no issues. Just burst into flames and destroyed the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle had consistently experienced a throttle lag while driving from a complete stop and while decelerating. Additionally, the contact stated that while accelerating from a complete stop at an intersection, the vehicle hesitated to respond and then lurched forward while responding. There was no warning light illuminated. The failure had been recurring intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where an unknown repair was performed; however, the failure persisted. The dealer was notified of the failure. The contact stated that the dealer had advised that data from the Event Data Recorder(EDR) had been erased while in the process of correcting the throttle lag. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, the contact learned that a Class Action Lawsuit was filed in the State of Vermont due to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100.

My 2024 Toyota Tundra imax hybrid started off with a knocking sound. I took it into a certified Toyota dealership to have it inspected. I was then told that they had ordered a part it needed to fix the problem. After not hearing back and the knocking getting louder. I reached back out and took it back for further inspection. They then told me that it needed a system update. After running the update, a couple of times later after diving the Tundra, it had a power issue when pushing the gas to accelerate. I then reached out to Toyota once again and took it back to be serviced. They told me that they test drove my truck and had no issues with acceleration. So I went and picked it up. Just a couple days after receiving my truck back, I was at an intersection with the blinking turn signal and attempted to take off when the truck completely stalled out. I had two cars almost crash into me, but barely missed! I started the truck back and went directly home. I then told Toyota about the situation and they told me to bring it back in. It then stalled again when I was taking it to the dealership. Once I got it back to the dealership and told them what happened, they said they would look into it. After they had it the first few days I never heard anything back, so I called to see what was going on with my truck. They told me that they were waiting to hear back from corporate Toyota for further directions from TAS. My truck then sat there for a few weeks. I kept reaching out to see what was going on and all they kept telling me is that they were working on it, and that they test drove the truck, but couldn-??t get it to stall. I had the Toyota app on my phone, showing the mileage, and the mileage had never moved. Letting me know that they hadn-??t actually test drove it. So after all of this, they never did any work on my truck. I was now scared to drive it, and honestly didn-??t want it back.

The engine repair was a short block only, even thoe the main bearings spun and sent debis threw the engine. #1 rod went as well. Apon recieving the truck back, with in 200 miles, I've had the same hesitation with the engines as I had just before the first engine failed. Took it by the dealer and no issues found. oil preasure stays up and temp normal. I've had many issue with throtle lag sence day one. The milage has stayed in the low 11 gpm when before i would get on average 14 to 16. Dealer stated toyota would make it right if the engine fails again. Very unhappy with Toyota as I feel they are just kicking the can down the road.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the low engine oil warning light illuminated. The vehicle independently switched to Hybrid. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the road, and the engine seized. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine had experienced oil starvation, causing the rod bearings and engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be rebuilt or replaced. The engine was being rebuilt but was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 44,186.

Throttle lag, takes a couple of seconds for the truck to register me pressing on the gas before jolting forward. Not only frustrating but dangerous.
- Converse, TX, USA
As I was drive home at 45 mph the vehicle started surging and then the engine started knocking. then I stopped the vehicle and called Toyota for a tow. The truck was towed to the local dealer (Sheehy Toyota) for inspection. upon inspection the motor has a bad knocking in the lower end of the engine. The truck is now in the shop getting the engine disassembled. believed to be a main bearing failure. The truck has 9,229 miles on it. light use and had the oil changed 500 miles prior by the dealer.

I was stopped and went to pull out of the gas station. With my foot on the throttle I pull out. And it would not accelerate. I had to pump the gas pedal I almost got hit by oncoming traffic due to the lack of acceleration this has happened multiple times Very dangerous
- Reedsville , PA, USA
When starting from a very slight rolling stop I sometimes get no throttle response at all. When this happens i end up applying more throttle and I still do not move. Then after a second or two the truck takes off like a rocket. This usually happens at an intersection with the steering wheel turned one way or the other. Not sure if this is an engine or transmission issue or both.

Purchased new in 2024. since ownership, Ive experienced throttle lag. Especially from the stopped position. I have also experienced occasional stalling for no apparent reason. Dealership has noted issues I have mentioned. vehicle now has 32000 miles and issues continue.Delaership has been unable to remedy either situation

Acceleration pause or lag dead spot from slow like yielding at yield sign or from stop. Not always from stop but consistent from slow rolling from situations like yield sign or merging to traffic. I have encountered several situations where I was afraid I would be hit by another vehicle but lucky enough to make it or the other driver slowed or break. Then when it does go there is a huge jerk like it kicked in and I punched the accelerator. This occurs frequently.

I have had an issue several times which nearly resulted in a traffic accident. The truck has a sudden loss of acceleration where the gas pedal is completely dead. It last a few seconds and then goes back to normal. This has nearly caused several accidents where I could not properly accelerate while traffic was heading in my direction. After talking with other Tundra owners, I am not the only one with this issue. This needs immediate attention. If it is not fixed as soon as possible, I fear that someone will get seriously injured or killed. Please take this matter seriously. I suspect it may have something to do with the pre collision sensor system on the truck. It seems that it happens when there is a slight grade or dip in the road. Perhaps the sensors are at a lower angle due to the dip, making it think there is an object it will hit. The Toyota service centers don-??t appear to know why this is happening and cannot reproduce the issue in a short visit.

While at a four-way intersection, I went to press the throttle, and there was a very significant lag in acceleration, almost causing an accident.

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding my 2024 Toyota Tundra, which I purchased approximately five months ago. On two separate occasions while driving, the vehicle unexpectedly lost power. The first incident occurred while I was driving on the highway, which was extremely concerning from a safety standpoint. The second incident happened after I came to a complete stop and attempted to make a turn; the vehicle did not respond and had no power. In both situations, the power returned on its own moments later. These incidents raise serious safety concerns, especially given that the vehicle is relatively new. I am requesting a thorough inspection of the vehicle to identify the cause of this issue and ensure that it is resolved permanently. I would also like this concern documented in the vehicle-??s service history. Vehicle Information: VIN: [XXX] Please advise on the next steps to address this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle hesitates and starts to lose power and stall while driving. Toyota will not take action even though a recall has been issued and a letter in hand.

Throttle lag/hesitation. When pressing the gas pedal from a stop nothing happens for more than 5 seconds or longer. There is significant lag before the vehicle will accelerate.
