Engine Power Off, Low Power Steering

I've had a couple of "issues" pop up with my 2024 Tundra. While driving down the highway, it will stutter, show "Engine Power Off, Low Power Steering" and then resume running as normal. The first time it happened, there were several instances of this within about 10 miles. I had driven over 350 miles that day pulling my travel trailer without any issues. It happened after I had unhooked the trailer and was going to a nearby town. I thought that maybe it was because I hadn't taken it out of the "trailer settings". It still did it after I unselected the trailer. I was not in "Tow" mode when it happened.
The second time it happened when I was pulling my 21' travel trailer. It was in "Tow" mode. It stuttered once and then had no problems.
I took it to a dealer the first time and there were no error codes thrown. They said that without some type of error code, there isn't anything they can do.
It is not consistent and I can't seem to replicate it.
There are no error messages in "Notifications".
The truck runs fine otherwise.
The truck is NOT in the engine recall as it was built in Feb. 2024.
Any ideas?

 

sorry your having problems. obviously something not right. A little more detail may help others hear have some ideas as to what might be going on. Is your truck a I-force max? What speed were you going when it happened. How long are the stuttering lasting. Any chance of possible fuel contamination. If no one chimes in as a suggestion if you haven't already have the dealer note your complaint in the service paperwork and keep a copy.

 

Current mileage is 19,777. I have followed Toyota maintenance schedule all performed by my dealership. It is not the I-force max. Speed was 55-60 mph. The first time stuttering lasted about 5 miles or so - off/on, off/on, etc. The second time was once. I'm just wondering if it could be a fuel problem. It has only happened twice as I described.

 

Did some searching after your post and multiple possible things such as fuel , mas air flow sensors , bad vent in gas caps, bad fuel pump, and so on were suggested. Looked at similar complaints across different vehicles. Of course with the current engine debacle that's always the elephant in the room but to ease that worry somewhat when the bearing issue comes up it has been an all or nothing event in almost every case from what has been posted. On the least side hopefully you may have just gotten into some bad fuel aka water in the station's gas tanks. Either way as suggested unless or until someone else post here. Keep a record of the complaint and check done by the Toyota dealer which I'm sure you already have as it gives credence with Toyota should it come up again. Sorry I can't be of more help to you.

 

I agree, hopefully you just got some poor fuel and it burns out and you go on just fine.

 

Follow up on the problem.
I started the truck Sunday morning, got about 30 feet up the driveway, it "lurched", all kinds of warning lights and then shut down completely. Tried to start it several times - it would run for 15 to 20 seconds and then shut down. There was a list of errors about a mile long in the "Notifications". Had it hauled to the Toyota dealership this morning. They just called me and said it was a simple fix. For some reason a NOX sensor had come loose. They worked on it and the truck is up and running again. One simple sensor can really mess up your day! Going to get it tomorrow morning. Thanks goodness it was not something major.
One other note: I still have Toyota Roadside Assistance. Called them, described the problem and they proceeded to have a hauler dispatched to my house. There was no charge to me. AND.....the guy I spoke to actually spoke plain old American English! Great service!!!!!!!
