In owners' own words
I have a 2023 I-force max hybrid and Iâm concerned about the non hybrid model engine shares the same engine characteristics and parts use for the I-force max hybrid engine. I want to be on record if I have an engine failure due to debris in Toyota engine manufacturing process for my vehicle. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) Engine
Merging into a highway vehicle lost power. Wouldnât accelerate above 50 mph. Had multiple warning come on the dash, power lost, hybrid system failure, park daisy failure. Turned my hazards on a proceeded to safety. Definitely nerve racking, wouldnât want this to happen when merging lanes in fast moving heavily traffic road. Accident waiting to happen. Toyota is completely silent about it. Engine
While pulling out into traffic, my truck will suddenly hesitate. It also caused a vehicle to hit me as the truck pulled out into the lane, then suddenly completely lost power. Dealer was unable to replicate. Has happened to me several times when at a stop light. This is slightly safer as traffic behind me is stopped or slowed. It feels like a throttle issue as it completely looses power Engine
