2024 Toyota Tundra
Complaints about this year name full far more often than the other years of this generation — 10% of them, about 3× the usual rate of 4.1%.
Generation 2 of the Toyota Tundra, which began in 2022. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.
| Complaints filed | 316 |
|---|---|
| Median for this model | 119 |
| Involving a crash | 2 |
| Involving a fire | 3 |
| Recalls | 10 |
| NHTSA crash rating | 5/5 |
| EPA combined | 20 mpg |
What the complaints were about
- reverse — 7.3% of this year's complaints, against 2.4% across the other years of this generation (3.1×). Owners wrote it as: reverse, 25v322, infotainment.
Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.
Also unusual this year
- defect — 9% of complaints, 3× usual
- lighting — 6% of complaints, 6× usual
- fuel gauge — 6% of complaints, 6× usual
What owners wrote
Fuel gauge reads full , when really there's a half to 3/4 of a tank. Will be contacting dealer and Toyota customer service.
Fuel gauge reset to full when I know there is only 3/4 of a tank of fuel in the truck.I will be taking it to the dealer today.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Toyota Tundra was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
