Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Toyota Tundra - part 1

I am filing this complaint regarding my Toyota Tundra and Toyota safety recall 24ta07. My vehicle was previously affected by this engine recall, and Toyota replaced the engine as the recall remedy. The replacement engine has now failed with the same or substantially similar engine issue that resulted in the original recall and engine replacement. I am very concerned that a replacement engine installed as the remedy for a safety recall has experienced the same type of failure. This vehicle has now experienced engine failure involving two separate engines: the original recalled engine and the replacement engine installed by Toyota under recall 24ta07. The vehicle is at the Toyota dealer. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether replacement engines being installed under this recall may also be susceptible to the same or a similar defect. I would also like this complaint documented because I am concerned about the safety and reliability of the vehicle and whether Toyota's recall remedy adequately corrected the original safety issue. I am requesting that Toyota provide a permanent remedy for my vehicle at no cost to me. I would also like information regarding my rights and available remedies given that the engine replaced under the safety recall has now failed, including whether this repeat failure may qualify for additional manufacturer remedies or protections under applicable warranty or state lemon law.

"I am writing to report a latent safety concern regarding my 2022 Toyota Tundra hybrid equipped with the v35a-fts engine. Non-hybrid 2022–2024 Tundras sharing this exact v35a engine block architecture are subject to active safety recalls (NHTSA campaign ids: 24v381, 25v767, and 26v320) due to crankshaft main bearing failure caused by manufacturing debris and oil film disruption. My hybrid model utilizes the same v35a internal engine short-block assembly and suffers from the exact same potential for main bearing contamination and catastrophic internal engine lockup. Although the hybrid battery provides limited low-speed auxiliary power, a sudden internal combustion engine failure or lockup while operating at highway speeds or under heavy towing loads creates a severe safety hazard, including immediate loss of throttle response, power steering loss, and high risk of rear-end collisions. My engine has not failed yet, but the presence of known, unaddressed manufacturing debris within the v35a assembly presents an ongoing safety risk. I request that NHTSA expand its safety defect investigation into the v35a engine architecture to explicitly include the I-force max hybrid models. " Toyota has been lacking in taking responsibility that these exact same engines manufactured on the same assembly line are also subject to the same issues. I believe it is a significant safety issue especially since in the event of an engine failure the hybid system will not be strong enough to move the vehicle to the side of the road safely. In addition, when the powertrain warranty expires next year for the 2022 models, owners will be left holding the bag for a $30,000 dollar engine replacement when Toyota knows this could and has happened. Currently, Toyotas way of evaluating engines consist of hitting the engine with a hammer to check if its affected or not. What?? please investigate this and hold Toyota responsible, all engines manufactured on that assembly line in al should be replaced.

Engine knocks on start up or is very rough. The truck only has 8200 miles on it. I’m waiting for the recall to be processed but it’s been 2 years and I’m still waiting. I want to sell the truck because im afraid of it breaking down when I need it. But no one wants to buy the truck based on issues with the engines Toyota put in the trucks. How long do I have to wait for a new engine with the same design flaw? why is this issue taking so long to be rectified. How long do I have to wait for the back up light s issue to be resolved also? that’s also been 2 years! who’s sleeping at the wheel here to put pressure on Toyota?.

Total engine failure in v35a at 65- 70 mph which dealer has confirmed was due to main bearing failure. Inability to accelerate vehicle in heavy traffic lead to extreme unsafe situation. No warning lamps came on until after the vehicle completed stopped running. Both the manufacturer and the NHTSA are well aware of the continued problems with these engines and the unsafe failure. The only warning ‘hybrid system malfunction “( which has nothing to do with dealer performed diagnostic of metal in oil pan failed main bearing) came on after the truck was inoperable.

“before purchasing the vehicle new, I specifically asked the selling dealership about the known engine-related stop-sale concerns affecting Toyota Tundras. I was advised that the applicable issue involving this vehicle had been addressed and that the truck had been cleared for sale. The vehicle was subsequently sold to me as new. At approximately 5,141 miles, an independent repair facility documented gold-colored shavings/material in the engine oil filter. The filter has been preserved. My VIN currently shows no unrepaired recall. I have formally notified Toyota motor sales and requested that Toyota identify what stop-sale, recall, inspection, remedy, or other corrective procedure was performed on this specific VIN before it was released for sale. The composition and source of the material have not yet been determined. I am concerned that, if the material represents abnormal internal engine wear, the condition could potentially result in engine failure and loss of motive power while driving.

This is a repeat engine failure on a vehicle that already received the manufacturer's recall remedy. On xxx, at 69,420 miles, the original engine was replaced under Toyota's recall for the v35a 3. 4l twin-turbo v6 (manufacturing debris contaminating crankshaft bearings), at capital Toyota in [xxx]. On xxx, at 109,367 miles — approximately 39,947 miles after the recall replacement engine was installed — the replacement engine failed catastrophically. We first heard knocking in the engine while the truck was idling. The vehicle lost the ability to be driven and had to be towed to savannah Toyota in savannah, GA, where it currently remains. This failure raises serious safety concerns because the same recall-related symptoms (knocking progressing to failure) can occur while driving at highway speed, creating a risk of sudden loss of power, stalling in traffic, and a crash. This indicates that Toyota's recall remedy (engine replacement) did not correct the underlying manufacturing defect. We have opened a case with Toyota's brand engagement center (case/file number xxx) requesting a third engine replacement. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Engine knocking at normal highway speeds when gas pedal not pressed. At idle very loud engine knock. While I was driving to the dealership engine shut off at highway speeds causing me to swerve in an out of traffic to pull over safely complete engine loss power. . . I took it to Toyota on 8/12/26 they confirmed main bearing in cylinder 1 failed. Toyota states new motor to be installed.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v767000 (engine and engine cooling). The contact stated that while driving 80 mph, several unknown warning lights illuminated, with the message " check power steering " displayed. The contact stated that the vehicle then stalled. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road through traffic and parked safely. The vehicle failed to restart. The contact exited the vehicle and inspected the vehicle but found no fault with the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with possible engine failure, which was associated with the open recall. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 49,367.

Ive been waiting for years for the previous recalls I have been informed about to get fixed. Feul system,brake lights. Was told by Toyota that someone would call me to come to get them taken care of. In the meantime, constantly checking that my brake lights are working before departing on any excursions in truck & patiently waiting for Toyota to reach out when they were gonna fix the first 2 recalls that I was notified about. I can't recall the date exactly, but I was driving on the highway w/ my still backward carseat, facing 2y. O. Baby safely strapped in,thankgod. As accelerating into my lane, heard huge boom like an ied. Immediately, the check engine light among others came on. Truck immediately lost power & was violently shaking. Felt it in the steering wheel, but largely in engine compartment. @this time,I tried to get over to shoulder to a safe place. I turned the car off. Let it rest checked on my infant in back made sure he was ok. After letting car rest, turn back on to my surprise all lights were off. I was w/in few miles of home so went directly back, never getting to my intended destination. Shortly before driveway, all lights came back on & multiple service messages. Since then the truck has not been driveable,as we have specifically looked up recalls,thusly Nov. Recall matched lights on the dash for the specific make,year, model of truck. From my understanding, it says that there is no remedy for such recall. But that is untrue. The remedy is an entirely new engine. They just haven't rolled out the recall info to everyone applicable. I am unable to work. My home is without a vehicle and this is unacceptable. Along w/ safety risk to me and infant. I'm sure Toyota doesn't want to admit or remedy because that is very costly. But this was a mistake made by the company. And it should be remedied, because our family is suffering in various ways. Lost revenue. Inability to respond if emergency etc. I need a new engine. & in the interim,I need a car supplied while fixed.

July 31, 2026 driving on the garden state parkway in NJ in traffic at 65 mph in the far left lane, my engine seized without warning. The car started beeping and the dash lit up something like engine stopped low steering power. I had to maneuver across 2 lanes of high-speed traffic with no power, limited steering and brakes. Then coasted to a stop and tried to restart the engine. Only a click, nothing. After that I had to wait on the side of the highway for 20-30 minutes with cars speeding by only inches away so fast it shook the truck. One miscalculation by a driver could have resulted in a crash I was towed to my house, then towed to Toyota dealer. They confirmed my engined seized due to recall 25tb14 safety recall - 25ta14 (interim notice 25tb14) and replaced the engine. Vehicle had 22,3xx miles when it failed and was less than 2 years old.

My 2024 Tundra with 55000 miles suddenly lost all power going down a major highway. The engine failed suddenly. Luckily I didn’t wreck. I paid out of pocket to have it towed to dealership where it has sat untouched for 9 days. The engine is included in the recall that they have.

-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 catastrophic engine failure has been confirmed by the Toyota dealership. Th4ey confirmed multiple shavings of metal in the entire oil system and the engine has seized. He said that the engine needed to be replaced. -the Tundra has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance (yet) or others besides the Toyota dealership. -there were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptom of the pending catastrophic total engine failure.

On July 20, the vehicle experienced a catastrophic mechanical failure resulting in a total engine seizure while operating. The failure caused an immediate, sudden loss of motive power, forcing the vehicle to become completely immobilized on the interstate highway. This unexpected loss of propulsion created an immediate and severe highway crash hazard for myself and surrounding traffic. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Toyota dealership on July 20 under the 5-year/60,000-mile factory powertrain warranty. The vehicle has remained completely out of service since that date. The dealership has tentatively scheduled the engine repair and replacement to begin on August 24 or 25, meaning the vehicle will have been non-operational and out of service for over 35 consecutive days before repairs even commence.

Engine seized up just after completing a pass on 2 lane road with oncoming traffic approaching truck started shaking, warning lights illuminated and I lost all ability to accelerate. I was only able to crest a slight incline and safely get to the shoulder of the road due to momentum gained during passing. Toyota states hybrid models have locomotive ability after engine seizing, this is clearly not true. Had the seizing occurred while passing, it would have likely resulted in a head on collision. Dealer inspection confirmed engine seizing and noted metal shavings were observed on the dipstick.

Driving on the interstate and the truck surged very hard. The truck began to surge very hard and went into decreased speed mode. We were told by the dealer there is a TSB for the pcm. This decreased power caused the truck to not be able to travel over 25 mph in a 70 mph zone. This caused an unsafe situation.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notifications of NHTSA campaign numbers: 25v322000 (exterior lighting) and 25v767000 (engine and engine cooling); however, the parts to complete the recall repairs were not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

5/4/26 truck brough in for service, I raised concerns of hesitation from a rolling stop/complete stop. This hesitation had happened to me a dozen or so times since purchasing the truck new in August of 2024. I expressed to my service advisor that I experience a 2-3 second delay in acceleration with the truck simply not responding after I have pulled out in traffic from a rolling stop. My service advisor noted my concern and got with the service manager. The service manager took the time to ride along with me in hopes of duplicating the problem. We were not able to reproduce the hesitation. Inconclusive findings was my conclusion of that service. T-sb-0032-26 was issued two days later on 5/6/26 7/3/26 truck brought in for service, I shared with my service advisor that I discovered t-sb-0032-26 while reiterating my previous experiences. TSB was performed on the truck successfully according to my service conclusion report. 7/7/26 hesitation almost caused an accident. As I was crossing two way traffic, the truck hesitated. Traffic in both directions had to apply their brakes to avoid hitting me. This 2-3 second hesitation in acceleration creates a very unsettling moment. This is the kind of hesitation that could easily result in my getting rear-ended or t-boned in traffic. Other cars have to react to my truck not responding and slow down. If this causes an accident, I want this noted. I sent this information to my service advisor, the truck is going back to Toyota tonight for them to look into the computers history and see if they can find anything showing the hesitation. I even noted the date and time to my service advisor. Very interested to see what they do next.

I own a 2024 Toyota Tundra 1794 edition with approximately 37,000 miles. On or about xxx, while driving, the vehicle displayed a “check engine” warning, “reduced engine power” message, and the pre-collision system became disabled. The vehicle immediately became sluggish and lost power during acceleration. The loss of power created a safety concern because the truck was unable to accelerate normally when entering and crossing intersections. I did not feel safe continuing to drive the vehicle, especially while transporting my 9-year-old daughter. Due to the safety risk, I parked the vehicle and have not driven it since the warning first occurred. The warning lights remain active. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by a Toyota dealer because I do not believe it is safe to drive to the dealership. I am requesting dealer evaluation and towing assistance. The component that failed is currently unknown. The vehicle is displaying a check engine light and reduced engine power condition. The condition can be inspected and diagnosed by Toyota. No crash, injury, or property damage occurred because I immediately stopped using the vehicle once the safety concern became apparent. I am submitting this complaint because a sudden reduction in engine power while driving creates a significant traffic safety hazard.

We were driving on [xxx] coming from [xxx] going to [xxx] pulling a trailer within weight limits when the engine went out. We had it towed and looked at a dealership in [xxx]. They said it would. Need engine replacement. We had it shipped to michigan spartan Toyota in lansing who quoted us 30k for the replacement. It is out od the warranty replacement. Toyota corporate said they wont do anything. Even though they recalled the non hybrid engines for the same reason. They wont replace the hybrid engines. We just bought this truck a month ago. Used. The car dealership wont take it back. We know out what we bought it for (36k) plus this engine replacement. Whixh no one will help with. We were not offered an extended warranty information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

On April 7, 2026, at 5:00 pm, while driving, I noticed something unusual with my car, and it broke down on the side of the road, leaving me panicked and frightened. After the car stopped, I got out and looked at the engine from underneath; I saw engine oil spraying out of the engine. I then had the car towed to a safe location, and a few days later, I took it to the Toyota dealership.

While driving my 2024 Toyota Tundra, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle suddenly experienced reduced engine power. I safely pulled over, shut the engine off, and restarted it. After restarting, the vehicle appeared to operate normally, but a diagnostic scan showed dtc p0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire). On July 20, 2026, I brought the vehicle to an authorized Toyota dealer for inspection. During the inspection, the dealer found significant metal shavings in the engine oil, indicating a possible internal engine failure. Based on these findings, the dealer instructed me not to drive the vehicle and retained it at the dealership because they considered it unsafe to operate. My vehicle is already included in Toyota’s engine recall related to engine manufacturing defects. However, despite the dealer confirming the presence of significant metal shavings and advising that the vehicle should not be driven, no repair or resolution has been provided. The dealer has been unable to provide an estimated repair timeline or when the vehicle will be returned to service. The vehicle is available for inspection. No crash or injuries occurred. Prior to the incident, there were no warning signs or abnormal symptoms. The check engine light and reduced engine power occurred suddenly while driving. The unexpected loss of engine power created a significant safety risk, particularly while driving at highway speeds or in traffic. I am also concerned that an apparent internal engine failure occurred with little or no warning. In addition, because the dealer has retained the vehicle and no rental or alternate transportation has been provided, I have been left without transportation while waiting for a resolution.

2016 flex fuel Toyota Tundra with 118,00 miles was towed to Toyota dealer in las cruces with a no fuel issue. After the analysis it was determined the fuel pump over heated burning out conector and wiring ,but the pump was still working. According to Toyota TSB 0166-19 this is a problem the can arise if the alcohol fuel density id is not updated. I told the dealer to due repairs on vehicle even though a fuel pump was installed and reflashed at 114,000 miles. Viva Toyota of las cruses advicate stated that a reflash is all the vehiles needs and does not desire to change the alchol fuel density to updated id as per TSB-0166-19, so I am worried I will be operating a vehicle with a fuel pump that will over heat and burn out connectors again. I called Toyota complaints and they told me they cannot make a dealer do any repairs.

Complete catastrophic engine failure at 36,514 miles on July 2, 2026, while the vehicle was being driven. There were no warning lamps, messages, knocking, or other symptoms prior to the failure - a sudden and total loss of motive power while the vehicle was in motion, creating a serious risk of a crash. The vehicle was towed to a franchised Toyota dealership (hendrick Toyota concord, concord, nc), where the dealer confirmed the engine failure. The failure is consistent with the engine machining debris / #1 main bearing defect described in NHTSA recall nos. 24v-381 and 25v-767 and the related Toyota campaigns (25tb14/25ta14). As of this filing, the vehicle has been out of service at the dealership for more than 40 days with no replacement engine allocated and no repair date provided. A Toyota corporate case (#260805003088) is open. The vehicle and failed engine are available for inspection at the dealership.

This is the second time this has happened to my truck. I was driving on the freeway at about 30–40 mph when the truck suddenly shut off. It was very scary because I was in moving traffic. This time, several warning lights came on, but I didn’t have a chance to see what they were because I immediately started to panic. I had to bring the truck to a complete stop by applying the brakes and then shifting it into park. Once I did that, I pressed the start button, and the truck started back up. This incident has me very concerned because it’s now happened twice. I’m worried that if it happens again, I could be rear-ended and seriously injured. I believe this is a significant safety issue that needs to be investigated and repaired as soon as possible. This is the second time this has happened to my truck.

Was waiting for the traffic light to turn green. Vehicle in drive with foot on brake. The traffic light turned green, I took my foot off the brakes and pushed on the accelerator. Nothin happened. I saw another vehicle approaching at a high rate of speed behind me so I continued to mash on the accelerator. Right before being hit by the car behind me my vehicle lurched forward a few feet then stopped again. I looked at the dash display and saw a "hybrid system malfunction" warning. Because of the traffic situation/location it was not safe to just sit in the road so I continued to pump on the accelerator. Each pumped moved the vehicle forward a couple of feet. I did not turn of the engine because I was unsure what would happen so I continued to do that for about a mile or so until I could get to a safe place to pull over. During this time, I almost got rear-ended and side-swiped several times. Once stopped I attempted to start the vehicle several times and got the "hybrid system malfunction" display and the vehicle would not start. I waited for about an hour with the vehicle off and restarted the engine. I stayed off the freeway and took backroads to the closest dealer service center where it is currently located. When I dropped it off the service rep said he hasn't seen anything like this. Prior to this incident I had no issues with the truck and it was last serviced by the dealership on March 4, 2026.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notifications of NHTSA campaign numbers: 25v322000 (exterior lighting) and 25v767000 (engine and engine cooling); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that a loaner vehicle would be provided if the engine failed. The failure mileage was approximately 26,700.

Toyota has not provided solutions to two of three recalls. This has been nearly a year and no solution.

My 2023 Toyota Tundra iforcemax truck has been out of commission for 56 days (since June 29, 2026). I have experienced a "shroud rub" issue which is a widely documented design flaw in 2022–2025 Tundras. It happens when pressure from the transmission lines warps the passenger-side plastic fan shroud, pushing it straight into the radiator fins until it rubs a hole right through them. The dealer (fred haas Toyota world, spring TX) has stated that they are still waiting for a new fan shroud to arrive and have no firm date when it will arrive. This is a safety issue as the vehicle sends a clear warning on the dashboard gauge cluster of the dangerous condition to over heating and advises the driver to immediately pull over, switch offthe engine and let it cool down or risk catastrophic failure.

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.

Recall number 25v-767 engine may stall during driving. I was told by my local tempe Toyota dealership that my engine was going to be replaced and they would contact me when my line number came up. Now I learned that Toyota can't keep up with the demand so they are going to scan vehicles to see if there is any damage. My vehicle only has 20,000 miles on it so how can a scan determine that the engine will not fail at 60k. That's like telling someone that needs a heart transplant that there heart is beating good today so they don't get the transplant. Do people need to die to make Toyota liable. Toyota knew these vehicles were bad but they were allowed to continue to sell them year after year. It is a fact the #1 main bearing is defective. I don't feel comfortable putting my family in a vehicle that can seize up while going at a high speed. Nhtsa it is your job to hold vehicle manufacturers to a high safety standard.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with turbo boost failure. The contact was informed that the turbo boost needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, the contact was informed that the failure was not associated with NHTSA campaign number: 25v767000 (engine and engine cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the part for the recall repair had been unavailable for approximately nine months. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and several cases were filed. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.

Vehicle has two open Toyota safety recalls that have remained unresolved for over a year. Nhtsa campaign 25v322 (manufacturer no. 25tb06) covers reverse lamp assembly corrosion. Nhtsa campaign 25v767 (manufacturer no. 25tb14) covers a v35a engine manufacturing defect where leftover machining debris can damage the main bearing, leading to engine knocking, rough running, no-start, or loss of drive power while driving. No engine symptoms have occurred to date. However, the vehicle is used for rideshare and delivery work, meaning passengers and cargo are regularly on board while this known defect remains unremedied. The dealership stated it could not address the engine recall and directed me to Toyota corporate. Toyota corporate opened a case and confirmed no remedy is currently available for this recall. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealer or manufacturer, as no repair or inspection procedure has yet been provided to perform one. No warning lamps or dashboard messages have been observed. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Concern: a known crash-risk engine defect (loss of drive power) has been acknowledged by the manufacturer for over a year with still no completed remedy, while the vehicle continues to be operated commercially with passengers.

Toyota Tundra 2025 limited stalled at highway speeds. The vehicle flashed "parking brake support" message, but dealer says it has to do with an engine failure. Vehicle came to a grinding stop and would only advance in short spurts before dying on the side of the road. I was in the left lane of a major highway during rush hour. Luckily, traffic was behind me, and I was able to limp to the shoulder before traffic arrived. I noticed nothing prior. A loose gas cap may have prompted the system to send failure message. I haven't heard yet why it stalled. But my safety was definitely put at risk, and I was lucky to not be rearended.

The recall was issued may 2025 and still has no remedy, bulletins state anticipated remedy in 4th quarter of 2025, we are in middle of 2026, over a year since the recall was issued another recall issued November 2025 with no remedy yet.

Vehicle surges sometimes and repeatedly from a stop, with delayed acceleration; very dangerous when merging or moving from a stopped position into a flow of traffic (such as turning right on red). Vehicle sometimes will not move at all under acceleration, as if it has no gas at all. Vehicle is under recall for both of these issues related to the engine, but "no remedy available. " latest incident of surging was less than a week ago. Happens 2-3 times a day on average. Vehicle will occasionally randomly run rough at stoplights / idle speed. I have contacted Toyota regarding a buyback and they stated they "could not offer a buyback because they have not had adequate chances to fix the problem. " so they have told me they cannot fix the problem, but won't buy back the truck because they have not had a chance to fix the problem (that they cannot fix). They have since stonewalled me and no longer respond to communications.
