2024 Toyota Tundra: Quality Control Issues Persist - Window Noise, Rattles, Tailgate Gaps, Etc. 

They say a smart man learns from his mistakes, but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others… The most unselfish thing you could have done you did by documenting this and allowing others to proceed with great caution!!! Thanks man…

Toyota has failed you and failed us. Mike sweers dropped the ball. They hyped it up to let us down. Payload. Rattles. Wind noise. Seat cracking. Payload. Waste gate. Utter failure by Toyota.

You're not alone. Many others have documented these issues. Toyota is going to have to work hard to redeem this latest version of the Tundra when they do a "refresh" of it.

You are a true friend to consumer community. We owe you a great deal.

Thanks for confirming that I should spend my $83,000 on a GX550 instead

Thanks for sharing this.

My 22’ is no different. I didn’t realized Toyota’s lack of the quality until 6 months of ownership. So many videos like this hopefully helps prevent others from buyers remorse.

For the outrageous price of new trucks, this is sad. Just another reason to driving my 2008 5.7L gas guzzler tundra. After 280k miles, it’s solid with no mechanical issues and the ride quality is just as good as the day I brought it.

I looked hard at the tundra a year ago when buying. In the showroom I could see the weather seal already coming off. The gaskets around windows had huge gaps. I ended up with a Ram bighorn. Zero issues quiet cabin and smooth ride….

I have the same tailgate gap issue. The dealer was able to fix it but he said it was temporary. In order to get a permanent fix he said I would have to pay a monthly subscription.

got an 07 fj with 220k miles took from cali to tx and back no issues the engine hummed like it has 100miles on it heat cold uphill downhill zero issues love the old toyotas

People need to vote with their Wallet. Don’t buy these vehicles especially at their high prices

I'm a Toyota guy through and through , I'm also a auto technician of 15+ yrs , my spouse and I both drive newer Toyotas. but if I were to recommend a half ton to anyone it wouldn't be the tundra . the last generation was the best tundra to own . I previously owned a 2019 SR5 Crewmax and it was flawless and much better build quality , I no longer needed a truck and traded it off towards a new rav4 . I am very happy with my rav4 also .. But these new tundra's are awful imo . I would go ford if I needed another half ton . that's my thoughts

So sorry it happens to you! Made in America! Quality control always an issue. To me it’s embarrassing to show your friends your new truck and it’s already falling apart. Bought a brand new Chevy truck and I had the same experience. Everything tends to lose during summer months and fall off when it gets hot.

The radio volume knob in my 2024 Limited came off as I was adjusting the volume. Only 6k on the odometer.

I have some of the same problems with my 24 but they are minor. I'm on a lease but maybe it won't go past 3 years

Well, the majority of the interior looks to be various types of plastic that more or less snaps in place or held by plastic clips...unless Toyota changes the makeup of interior parts with other materials I can't see these issues being remedied..

If I could do it all over again, I would have bought the 2023 Ford F150 XLT 3.3V6 over my 2023 Tundra SR, I am very dissapointed in Toyota's quality issues and my dealer still hasn't resolved them, on top of that Toyota has poor communication with me and does not return emails, I love mine but have similar issues as well, including an annoying rear vent whistle. I am going to make another video shortly and update my subs as well! If I had the cash I think I would jump into a whole new world and go with a Rivian R1T

Dang man these issues are hard to swallow. To be honest though the last gen tundra was extremely cheap inside as well which is why I never bought one.

So my question is do you think ford , Ram , GM builds a more robust and reliable truck ?? My answer is no

'It is what it is' seems to be the new motto for all vehicle manufacturers. If it bothers the customer we will fix it on an individual basis - most people won't be bothered enough to complain.

Yeah that does look like terrible qualiy all around. I'm wondering if you checked or noticed any of this while you were test driving or before you bought it? I feel like most people don't think sbout checking the little interior things to make sure they're solid. At leasy I definitely wouldn't have thought about it. Kinda just assume its not gonna be trash. I recently bought a Colorado and didn't really do a thorough quality check but i fell in love with it as soon as i hit the street. Luckiky the build quality is pretty damn good because i sure as shit didnt really check.

You have paint chips where the rear spoiler meets the gate panel. Its look like dirt but you can see it on the video surprised you missed it.

Great video and sucks that you’re dealing with QC issues in a new truck. I have a 23 Tacoma TRD Sport and my drivers side door control panel is loose as well. Like you, I love the truck but Toyota can do better.

Unfortunately I had the same issues with my 2022. I thought it was just a lesson learned from buying the first year of the redesign but I guess the QC issues are still happening.

I think TNGA as far as the new Tundra is concerned since it was from the bottom up totally new vehicle has been a mixed bag and not living up to the hype that was promised. It looks like now even with three production years they still are having trouble resolving known issues since they are using the same inferior parts. Hopefully mechanically the truck holds up but only time will tell. I have a 2015 SR5 + double cab with the TRD off road package with about 160 000 km in central Canada and real winters. Other than regular service I have only changed a belt tensioner and belt which did not fail but squeaked when raining and I figured it was time. Think I will need a brake job soon and first set of tires lasted to 100 000 km. The truck is not perfect but checks most boxes and is built to be durable. Hard to say if you should keep but if looking I would drive the older Tundra and see if it is something you could live with. If so look for a 2020 or 2021 with low mileage as they had lots of time to make it a good reliable tough truck.

The price The end 😂

I’m so relieved the new 4Runner wil still be made in Japan!

Good job Toyota!

What a shame that Toyota is doing poor work now. I have a 2021 off road 4runner. It's solid, no noises or squeakas or rattles.

Toyota has always been know for being simplistic yet sturdy and reliable. Looks like they’ve stayed true to their simplistic approach but forget about being sturdy and reliable. The new Toyotas feel simplistic and cheaply made. The old were nothing to write home about when it came to looks but you felt you were driving a high quality sturdy car

I drive a 22 Tacoma and the seat squeaks time to time since the first week I drove the truck. Dealership is not able to fix the problem but a Toyota mechanic told me that issue is in Toyota models in general. Toyota knows about it but they keep designing cheap seats to save money.I was in the market to upgrading to a new tundra but I keep hearing the previous gen was solid build. I’m seeing these new gen falling apart what happened to the quality. Especially how expensive they are you expect to be build like a tank.

The amount of money for these trucks is staggering,although so are all of them. I will keep my 2006 Tundra probably forever. I love the old school V8

I own a 2023 limited Trd ! Interior scratches so easily …espically Center console … rear window rubber extior come out all the time …fit and finish garbage …the truck is put together with all plastic push pins …:interior carpet all pieced together …after only 6600 km my wheel flare fenders are warping and gaps between paint and fenders …I bought the truck too keep it for ten years like my Tacoma …buyers beware

Sorry about the frustrating challenges, and disappointing experience. Definitely not the Toyota we've come to trust.Thank you for the great content. You're helping others to be aware of these quality issues.

What a shame I’m with you brother just got rid of my 23 platinum b cause of poor quality and craftsmanship

Ever since the redesign, the Tundra has dropped in quality. You are not alone with all the issues you listed, and to add to the insult the Tundra has had engine issues, transmission issues, and oil leaks. Make Toyota buy it back under the lemon law. Seems that Toyota has already bought back several of their lemon Tundras.

Comment on the seat comfort. Damn things to me are rock hard and very uncomfortable.

Anyone having issues with the cameras randomly not working when you put the truck into reverse? Happens periodically, no rear view camera view on the display in reverse, checked all cameras, no visibility, just a black screen. When you turn the truck off and restart it, cameras work again.

I had such high hopes for a gen 3 Tundra to be better than my 21 Tundra, but I have seen too many videos to the contrary. These rattles would drive me nuts being behind the wheel an avg 2 hrs per day. So bummed.

These issues only seem to be true on lower end models. People seem to forget the SR5 is a lower end model. LOVE MY 22 LIMITED TRD Off Road Tundra! It has some recalls but incredible overall. NONE of those issues seem to happen on the LIMITED and above. I'm not sure if it's a different factory line or different parts but they're just made better. I've scoured RU-vid and the internet and this seems to be the case across the board. No one seems to mention the models in their videos.

Amerxcio the Tacoma is following suit. Ford Chevy and Stallantis are having the same issues. Cheap cheap cheap production parts

I’m so conflicted. I’m in the market for a truck and all I find is horror stories about all of them minus the tundra. (I assume the last generation). What are we supposed to buy

Should’ve just waited for the new 4 runner I hear that it will be made in Japan.

Lemon Law buyback.

I was close to buying a 2024 Tundra, but I backed out. I couldn’t do it with all these issues. I bought a cheap vehicle for 24 months, so maybe in 2026, Toyota will fix these issues.

No way the interior is that cheap! I can't believe the grill is that flimsy as well.

This almost feels like sabotage by Toyota. Are they trying to kill off their full size pickup?

Younger generation engineers designing stuff on computers they don’t do it the old way by hand. This is what you’re going to have to deal with get rid of computers go back to the old way will be good again.

The bean counters are obviously in charge now at Toyota

Wow junk

I just trade in my 2024 I loose $7k but that’s it no more tundras for me Toyota make big mistake I never have A tundra again don’t buy the new tundra is a piece of trash

BRO U GOTTA GET THE ONE MADE IN JAPAN VIN STARTS IN J

The main bearing Girdle assembly in the Toyota is aluminum supporting the main bearing and shaft. Ford uses graphite iron and more beefed up to make it more rigid. This was explained… TOYOTA GOT CHEAP and the design can not handle the stress The turbo places on the shaft and bearing

Quality is on par with national lampoons station wagon

Lemon law

I have a 2024 4Runner no rattles or squeak. Fit and finish is top notch.

Engineered and built in america 😂

Wait for the 2026 😂

I love my 2021 Tundra SR5. That truck is dead reliable and built with quality.

*consider a Lexus!*

Ford, Chevy,gmc all poor QC as well

the name explains it all....turd....corporate greed.....learning from other brands.....not perfect, but Subaru works for me..

Dude. Sound like you bought a luxury car and now unsatisfied with small issues. Every manufacturer today have quality issues. Even Rolls-Royce, I'm sure. Those are little not important things. Replace window thing with after market. And enjoy. Hope they didn't changed the power train in those. If no, this thing will last forever. If it's new motor. Especially turbo. You know... run. And buy older vehicle

L M A O

So why did you buy it? You clearly just wanted the latest, but not the greatest. Don't pick at your own ignorance. Accept it.

Toyota has officially sold out and no longer caters to its loyal customers. Over priced junk is now what we get.

The problems you are having is due to that truck being poorly built in Mexico!

It wasn't falling apart until you pulled it apart trying to show your annoyances with it all vehicles fall apart none are perfect

I still own 2018 tundra. Few may have 2023 they want to burn it. Hehe

Hello! I'm currently on the hunt for a new truck that I plan to keep for the next 8-10 years too! I really appreciate how your reviews focus on the long-term ownership experience rather than just the initial "flashy features." It’s so helpful to hear about your personal experiences with your truck. Thanks for helpful content! 👍🙌

Ah, 1st year model production guinea pig. Thanks for taking one for the team.

I traded mine in for a 2024 4 runner, had too much issue on mine. Mine had too much issue, noise all over inside my truck. Last one that made a noise was the foam on top of my roof inside my truck was making squeaks beside the plastic inside. Oh yeah my air damn motor broke too. Bro that truck has so much issue get rid of it. I got rid of the 1794 tundra. I can see this tundra to have more issue down the line. I got tired of going back and forth to the dealership. Get rid of your headache
