3rd Gen Engine Failures

I know I told you to drop point #2, but your approach to it was well made and came out nicely in the video, great work.

Unrelated to the Tundra, in your latest video with the GMC 1500 ultimate Denali, I think you made an interesting point at the end where you said that you always test fully loaded model and then us as consumers, we can see everything and then de-content the truck to our need or budget. That was a really interesting take and I think you're right overall for functionality but it's hard to imagine what the interior/exterior will actually look like once done removing the fancy options. This is made worse since they are not even on the dealer lot and the YouTube algorithm is not friendly to base trucks.

Sometimes I say stuff on camera and then I’m like “where the hell did that come from??” Just some frustration over the comments on always driving the fancy trim trucks.

I do watch your videos and found you on YouTube. Are you hearing of anyone having the engine issue with a Tundra manufactured between April 2024 to present?

Not specifically with those dates. I am hearing of 2024 models having issues. It is hard to figure out the percentage of trucks having a problem.

Uhh that doesn't make me happy. Are the 2024 models having the same engine/bearing spin problem or something else? I literally told Toyota Corporate that "I've bought 10+ new Toyotas over the past 25 years, if this is a lemon, YOU ARE BUYING IT BACK". Then I'll probably go get a GMC.

From what I'm seeing on the tundra forum and facebook page, yes the 24 are having the same issues.

Not really sure about that. I don't know if the 2024s are having the same issue the 2022-2023 models are having. It seems like it, but we don't know for a fact.

That's what I was hoping to find out here. Have you, on your YouTube channel, heard from any 2024 Tundra owners complaining about blown motors?

I also have: heavy wind noise, drivers window, peeling protective film on the doors and everything feels cheaply made, cheaply slapped together.

Seems like your mind is made. Life is short, go drive what you want!
 
The story isn't done, the recall is just the first chapter. I know it's referenced that they've been through something like this before with The frame recall but that was a long messy process that left many owners disappointed.

I imagine the next chapter will be either the hybrid or the 2024 models then I imagine the chapter after that being class action lawsuits.

Similar to the frame recall the end of this story will come after the lawsuits and Toyota's hand being forced. That lawsuit was over 3 billion not sure where this one will go.

It's hard for me to give them a lot of credit when during the frame rust issue their hand was forced at nearly every turn by lawsuits and lawyers and lack of accountability on their part.

I wasn't involved in that issue. The last Tundra I had prior to this was a 2006. If we need a class action lawsuit, I'm OK with that as well. The main problem I have is that they told me on the phone my 2024 was NOT affected by the blown engine issue and here and other places I am hearing otherwise. If that is the case, then I have caught Toyota lying which should be enough for me to say "Take the truck back, give me my $$$"

I have heard of 2024s having issues. It is on Facebook groups and Tundras.com forum.

Look, Toyota didn't lie. The 2024 models are NOT under the safety recall. Owners posting their experiences are anecdotal stories at best.

No, I was on the phone with Toyota Corporate. They explicitly told me "The problem with the engine and metal shavings was fixed in March 2023".

Is that the case or not? If not, they lied.
