Engine Problems in 2022–2024 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid Trucks? We’re Investigating.

Have you experienced engine hesitation, sudden jolting, or even complete engine failure in your 2022–2024 Toyota Tundra or Tundra Hybrid? You’re not alone, and the problem may be more than a fluke. We are currently investigating widespread engine issues affecting these vehicles that may stem from manufacturing defects.

What’s the Issue?

Reports from Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid drivers indicate that the V35A engine in these trucks may contain metal shavings, dirt, sludge, or other debris left behind during manufacturing. This contamination can interfere with engine function and lead to:

Delayed acceleration or “throttle lag”
Sudden jerking or lurching after pressing the gas
Engine stalling or total failure, even at highway speeds
Safety risks, including risk of rear-end collisions or being stranded

These symptoms not only compromise performance but may also pose a serious threat to driver safety.

What Toyota Tundra Owners Are Saying

Drivers have reported that when they press the accelerator, there’s a delay or no response, followed by a sudden surge. In some cases, the engine has cut off entirely, leaving the driver stuck with no warning.

Many affected owners say they’ve taken their vehicles to the dealership only to be told to “wait for a fix” with no clear timeline or explanation.

What We’re Investigating

We are investigating whether Toyota:

Knew or should have known about this defect from internal testing, customer complaints, or warranty claims
Failed to disclose this information to buyers and lessees
Offered inadequate repairs or failed to cover all affected vehicles in recalls

This issue may constitute a violation of consumer protection laws and could entitle affected vehicle owners to compensation for:

Repair costs
Diminished resale value
Safety-related harm or inconvenience
Loss of use of the vehicle
