My 2022 Toyota Tundra Is Going Back To Dealership For 3rd Motor Going In At 49,000 Miles

Still happily driving my 2019 Tundra with the best, most reliable V8 ever. Toyota bowing down to the green mob and doing away with the 5.7 was the worst decision ever made by the company. With all the problems they're having now I'll never own another Tundra I'm afraid. Thanks for ruining a great thing Toyota.

First off. 5.7 fan boys need to lay off the new engines. I just traded my 20 tundra in on a 24 hybrid tundra and it performs way better than my 5.7 did. The 5.7 was reliable but let's not pretend it was the end all be all v8. On to his problem I would try going directly through Toyota first. I had a friend go through the lemon law process with GM and it was a long process that cost upfront money for an attorney. It works but I would personally avoid it if I could. Ordinarily Toyota makes things right for their customers. The '22s were plagued with problems from 3rd party supplier parts. I'd try getting a newer one from them.

Just buy a Ram

I'm not a mechanic but I had a 2015 Tundra 0 times in shop. Got a 2021 Tundra 5.7 seems to be the key have it just less than 3 years 0 times in shop. V6 twin turbo is a issue from what I'm hearing all to do with engine.

If the dealership is not replacing anything that could have been contaminated with metal that had gotten in the engine oil, it's their fault. Toyota's policy is to replace anything contaminated. Toyota MDT w/25 yrs exp.

My 2000 has 240,000 still run great had flat on it other day

Well al these comments has said to me veto the Tundra!!

2030 Tundra 4x4:
Front cv joint went out. Truck at dealer. Going on 13 weeks waiting on part (cv joint).
Never again (next truck will be a GMC or Ram).

I'm still driving my 03 Tundra. Except for cosmetic issues... it runs like the day I drove it off the lot. It's the best vehicle I have ever owned and I still trust it to last much longer. (200k miles)

Doesn't his state have a lemon law . Usually it's if 3 times same thing full replacement and/or full refund.

Lemon Law has to come into play on this. This is a complete neusance to you and the dealer should have replaced the vehicle.

This is very disappointing to hear. Sorry about your truck man!
I have a 2022 tundra. Engine was replaced about 1500 miles ago. So far no issues. I have not read about multiple blow motors until this post. I was hoping replacing the motor would solve the issue. But clearly this is not the case.

Toyota replaced my engine free of cost. But has not given anything further.

Good luck with your truck.

My opinion as a retired HD mechanic is with the reduction of cubic inches and the use of turbos the following results happen.
Higher RPM plus less surface area to dissipate heat.
More H.P. usually extracted from the turbo charged units per cubic in.
Most drivers don't understand how to drive a turbo engine properly and fail to cool the units down as well as drive it like a hot rod because it has a turbo.
Failure to use proper oils, sometimes I'm not sure the manufacturers understand turbocharging concepts.
Less cubes + higher rpm + higher heat = LESS LONGEVITY.

I have a 22 tundra as well. You should see the deappreciation of that truck how it is valued now when I paid $75,000 they only wanted to give me $36,000 for it and they’re blaming the recalls and all the problems with the truck now I’m upside down 30+ thousand dollars For a truck

Since Toyota began using cheap Chinese parts and moved manufacturing to Mexico, their quality has gotten terrible.

My 2017 V8 tundra hasnt aged a day in the 7 years that I've owned it

Seems this article is trying to pursuade future buyers to buy electric or at least hybrid rather than pursuing Toyota for quality control.

I have a 2000 Tundra and no problems till now. It needs some work but other than that it's turned over in millage twice over. All we drive are Toyota Tundra, Tacoma, Camry, corolla, fj, the van, and Celica. I don't want any other brand of car and I trust the Toyota brand wholeheartedly.

Such a disheartening story, but seems to be more common nowadays with all brands of trucks. I feel the biggest issue is the gas mileage pressure and emissions pressure is what’s causing these reliability problems, smaller lighter motors that use ultra thin oil. All of these issues and you now get to pay 80+!! Not me I’m going backwards I’m fixing to rip my pos motor out of my truck and install an old heavy reliable 460!

Small engines in big trucks. There all failing .most used as if there is a huge v8 under the hood. Sure great gas mileage and emissions .even better emissions once it's sitting as yard art!

I have an 05, and personally I refuse to take it to any dealership for repairs or maintenance, I just don't trust them anymore! I basically do everything myself nowadays (timing belt, head gasket, etc), otherwise find a dependable shop or mechanic! YouTube enables miracles nowadays, the experience is good for you anyway! I'd dump that Tundra already, good luck!

It's glaringly obvious!!! Two words, twin turbo!!! Turbos are notoriously unreliable! Government mandates and to teach cafe they overtax vehicles by using small engines with twin turbos and turbos are evil in terms of reliability
