2014 Toyota Tundra Engine Problems

“Truck was in Toyota shop in vermont for stalling of vehicle. Thought it was fuel pump due to recent recall - specifically asked if it could be that and was told no. They found mice nest in intake manifold, knock sensor was found to be chewed, and replaced. Once I received my vehicle, it continued to do the same thing after 2 days. Upon looking under the hood, found that the air intake filter was left off. I fixed that, and then the same issue starting occurring again. …”

“The Toyota 5.7l v8 engine found in Toyota tundras, sequoias, siennas, land cruisers, and lexus lx570s suffer from cam shaft tower leakage, and it will most likely happen to anyone that owns one. It can happen anywhere from 1k miles to 100k miles, but it can damage the engine and other important parts and therefore should be recalled. It is also a safety issue, as it leaks in to the exhaust and could cause a fire. I own a 2014 Tundra that has this issue and the dealer wants me to pay $3k to fix it!”

“Toyota has a known problem with their 5.7 l v8 engine with the cam shaft towers leaking oil onto the exhaust which is a fire hazard. This is a result of them not applying enough sealant at the factory, which was confirmed to me by the Toyota dealership. Toyota refuses to cover the issues even though thousands of people are complaining about the issue online, class action suits have been opened and there is a petition online to get them to recall this issue with over 6,000 signatures. Mine personally has the oil leak and I can smell burning oil every time I get out of the vehicle. …”

“I purchased a 2014 Toyota Tundra on 02/04/14. I had driven the truck approximately 4 times and on 02/10/14, with 236 miles, I started the truck to go to work. I went back in my house, as the temperature was around 0 degrees fahrenheit and allowed the truck to run for several minutes. I returned to my truck and left for work. After driving for several miles, the check engine light came on and the truck entered limp mode. I was not far from work so I continued to work, driving at a max speed of 40 MPH. I contacted the dealer and advised them of the problem. …”
