2024 Toyota Tundra Power Train

The engine periodically lags and is not responsive when pedal is pressed. When the engine catches up, the RPMs skyrocket.

After making a complete stop, there is an extended delay around 3 seconds before the truck responds to the gas pedal being pressed. When it does respond it launches forward and causes the tires to break free. This has almost caused at least 7 accidents.

Truck Purchased new on 2/8/2024. A couple weeks later at approximately 1700 miles on the odometer the driveline started developing an intermittent shimmy between 40 and 65 MPH. Truck currently has 2026 miles on it. Dealership informed and are saying that this shimmy is as designed and therefore not an issue. Shimmy is progressively getting worse and being that nobody knows why it is happening I do not know if something is in the process of failing and might potentially fail at highway speed. This could potentially cause an accident resulting in injury or death. Note: A quick internet search "2024 Toyota Tundra transmission shimmy" results in several other complaints about the same problem.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving uphill at approximately 10 MPH, a loud abnormal sound was coming from the bottom of the vehicle. The contact merged to the shoulder of the road and inspected the vehicle when a bystander informed that three bearings were seen detaching from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer Flagstaff of Toyota where the vehicle was diagnosed that the CV axle was torn apart due to the lift kit previously installed. The contact was advised that the lift kit was not original equipment manufactured therefore causing the CV axle to fail and needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that when informing Anaheim Toyota of what had occurred they stated that the lift kit was the original manufacturer's equipment. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,900.

I purchased the vehicle from a Toyota dealer 10 days ago. since then I have driven about 500 miles. I started the engine this morning (09/11/2024); but it will not start. This is a hybrid vehicle. I read the user's manual, which says a green "READY" indicator on the instrument panel should be on if hybrid system is normal. The green indicator was not on; it blinked briefly when I pushed the POWER button, then it disappeared. The vehicle is unable to move either forward or backward. I just called Toyota Roadside Assistance. It sent a two truck to it to a nearby Toyota dealer for inspection & repair.
