A few days ago I learned about a frustrated new Toyota Tundra owner, who says his 2024 Tundra has a blown engine at 7,000 miles and asks if he should fight for a replacement of the truck vs the replacement of the engine. Here is what happened.
Imagine this: you just bought a brand new 2024 Toyota Tundra truck, and are excited to enjoy it for years to come. Then, at a mere 7,000 miles, the engine lets out a spectacular cough and dies. That's the gut-wrenching scenario facing one truck driver, who posted his story on 2022+ Toyota Tundra Owners Facebook group seeking advice from the fellow Tundra owners.
This 2024 Tundra truck owner and the local Toyota dealership are now navigating the world of warranties, repairs, and the agonizing question: will my car ever be the same? Please, join this conversation as we explore this owner's experience, offering advice and support for anyone, who's ever faced a major car malfunction. What do you think he should do in this case?

I can tell you from owning a trucking company and owning 37 trucks on the road at one time for 35 years that changing the oil that comes in an engine at 1000 miles is the smart way to do things, regardless, if the engine is diesel or gasoline, everybody should do that to get rid of any Shaving that is left from assembling the engine, I’ve done that on my 22 tundra at 1K, 3K, 6K and 10k, and now I change the oil every 5000 miles without fail regardless what the dealer have advised me that Toyota recommend. On a TwinTurbo engine, the oil loose viscosity much quicker than normally aspirated engine . I have 21,000 miles on the truck now and the engine runs like a champ. Change the oil folks this is like the blood in your veins. engine failure. I’m not saying that Toyota didn’t screw up, but if you have changed the oil before all that debris ran through the rings nothing would have happened to the engine.

@gm-zz8so Месяц назад

The first law is to avoid completely redesigned vehicles in the first two or three years of production. I doubt they'll go for a long block as Toyota doesn't sell then that way and unless there's damage to the heads he'll probably end up getting a short block.

@Torquenews Месяц назад

Especially with a redesigned car, waiting a few years can be smart. On the engine, you're right, Toyota usually goes with short blocks. Hopefully, the damage is limited to the block and the heads can be reused.

Unwind it after they replace the engine. Make a deal with the dealership for a different vehicle. Toyota won't give you a new vehicle.

@Torquenews Месяц назад

Good point, but most dealerships aren't obligated to offer a new car after an engine replacement, especially if the repair is covered under warranty.

@jca65lb Месяц назад

@Torquenews Of course, they are not obligated. They're basically a middle man. That's why I said make a deal with them. Dealerships don't want drama , they'd rather trade you out of the vehicle than the customer giving them bad reviews or slam them on social media.

Nope. No they are not. Dealerships hire people who don't give a damn. People on the assembly line are watched to not screw up or they get fired.

@JoeKubinec 8 дней назад

Why? The tech gets 30 hours to do this job at the warranty rate which is lower than the standard repair rate. The tech has to cut corners to do the job in as little time as possible. Techs fight to stay away from this type of work. LOL to you... "why would the truck never be the same"... it will never be the same. clips will be missing. bolts will not be torqued to spec... gaskets will be misaligned. Have you seen the videos of the insane amount of disassembly required to do this job? I'm sorry... I totally disagree with our comment.

@bitpri05 Месяц назад

Advice needs to be unpinned by the specifics of the applicable lemon law. Outside of this it’s framed by the implied warranty and goodwill

@Torquenews Месяц назад

Great point. Getting into an accident with a brand new car is a terrible feeling. While lemon law wouldn't apply here, definitely check your manufacturer's warranty and reach out to the dealership for guidance on the repair process. Hopefully, they can work with you to get your Sonata back on the road quickly.

@TerraVeritas 12 дней назад

I made 68 trips from San Antonio to North Wilkesboro, NC, in my 5.7L 2014 1794 Edition Tundra. Never one hiccup. Not one. 290K miles. Hasn't been in routine service for more than 2 hours at a time, as scheduled. I always changed my oil at 5K or before. Other fluids will always changed at 20K to 30K, depending. I've towed up to 12K with it without issue. As a matter of fact, I think it performed better under load. Too bad Toyota went to these stupid twin turbo 6 cylinder pieces of junk. Want a Tundra? Buy one with a 5.7L V8, regardless of miles.

@georgedoolittle7574 Месяц назад

Need to buy a new truck to get the new truck. That's how this works. There are "Lemon Laws" but i think are only good for 90 Days. If the insurance company totals the vehicle that would be different tho and given complexity of modern electronics not as far fetched as seems.

@Torquenews Месяц назад

You don't necessarily need a whole new truck to get that new truck feeling back. Lemon laws can be helpful, but coverage periods vary by state. In some cases, trading in the truck after repairs might be an option, though the trade-in value might be affected. If the repairs are covered under warranty and the wait time isn't excessive, getting the engine replaced might be the most practical solution.
