    Yes, this is happening with others. Do forum search to see what's going on.

    Search for it.... there are people who make / sell fancy knobs that should do the trick.

    No knob problem here. I use the steering wheel

    Gold? Too low, not at $200. He's asking rhodium prices.

    Bought my Tundra in June, Aug the radio knob fell off the plastic on the inside broke. Went to the dealer to ask about it, the service guy started laughing seems that the 2023 tundra that was in front of me had the same problem, they had to order one. I hope they aren't going beck to China to get one. No big deal but its been 2 months now, looks like Toyota has problems, still waiting for my second key. Go figure!

    A bit of epoxy, or JB Weld, should fix your broken knob, and would probably make it last for the lifetime of the truck. Just let the epoxy dry until it doesn't run, then smear it all around the broken plastic. Slide it on, and don't touch it for 24 hours.

    I saw the threads popping up on this and didn't think I had a problem. Went outside and behold....Knob was halfway off! I could see very tiny microcracks on the plastic, reducing the friction on the male side to hold it on. BS.....

    Did Toyota ever replace the switch? There's gotta be another problem other than the flimsy knob design. Either that, or you have the touch of a gorilla.

    I went to toyota to get it replaced and they were on backorder. I ended up just buying a black one on etsy of all places and it seems to be made much more sound than the factory. It looks better in my opinion as well as the factory one looked cheap with the grey plastic.

    New to Tundras forum but on my 3rd Tundra. Just turned 6k on my 2024 pro and the radio knob fell off in my hand, so the problem has sadly not been resolved. Taking it in for recall fix tomorrow and will see what they have to say about the radio knob.
    I’m ab to turn half a century old with the last 13yrs spent in a ‘10 TRD. No radio buttons or anything falling off that truck (except bed rust). Thanks to the forum to let me know I’m not the only one out there to have this problem.

    My 2024 Tundra 1794 Crewcab just suffred the same fate, with only 199km on the odometer, the radio knob came loose in my hand. At first i thought someone sabotage my new car!, then i jumped on the forum to find out the truth!
