VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Hesitation from a stop. Vehicle isn’t following pedal input and at times can put me into a side collision. Lane keep assist is dangerous and throws me off the road constantly. At times the lane assist will fight my input at the wheel and pull me off-road and over the lines.

The excessive hesitation poses a real danger when pulling into traffic or trying to avoid an accident. The truck can randomly take several seconds to respond to accelerator input.

ENGINE
My Tundra has a build date of January, 2023. The Engine recall by Toyota included models up till February 13, 2023. I want to know specifically why my vehicle was not included in the recall even though it was built within the recall period.

POWER TRAIN
At certain times when starting (pressing the accelerator pedal) from a total stop, or from when rolling very slowly, the tuck creeps forward but there is up to a two second delay in start of increase of engine revs and power being delivered. This is quite scary when pulling out into traffic. When the power comes on it tends to surge with rapid acceleration for a very short time. To be clear, no accident has occurred and there are no warning lights on the dash. However, I feel that this vehicle behavior creates a significant hazard worth highlighting. Once the vehicle starts moving, it goes back to normal operation within seconds. It’s not a consistent issue - it does not happen very frequently - but I’ve had it since the truck was new and it has 27k miles on it now. I have made several complaints to the maker and my dealer at every service, but they fail to replicate / recognize this issue after a number of tests drives. I went on a test drive with one dealer tech and when we replicated this issue I was told that ‘all trucks are like this’. There is a technical service bulletin fix for this, but the maker has refused to do it on my truck and others have reported that it did not resolve the issue on their trucks. From online forums, this seems to be a common issue on non-hybrid models. The truck transmission also tends to thud into drive when cold and the chances of the hesitation / surge issue occurring is higher just after a cold start (‘cold start’ being a relative term in South Texas). It most often occurs at the nearest stop sign just after I leave home, but does occur randomly at other times.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
When in start and stop traffic when the vehicle is at low speeds below 5 mile an hour. The transmission does not properly downshift. This causes a severe lag in acceleration when needed in traffic or in Intersections. This delay is a safety issue due to causing a lack of vehicle movement when needed. The vehicle will basically not accelerate for a couple seconds until it decides to downshift. This happens continuously at speeds below 5 mile an hour. If you don’t stop completely and pause for a second or two, the transmission will not downshift properly. In traffic, you cannot do this.

SERVICE BRAKES
The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that since purchasing the vehicle, new, they noticed that when applying the brake pedal there would be a loud squeaking sound emitting from the vehicle. The failure was most prominent after the initial startup and when driving during rainy weather conditions. The contact stated the noise had increased in volume over time. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the brakes had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer informed them of the part being recalled under warranty coverage and that the replacement would be covered. The vehicle had not been repaired due to the dealer not receiving the brake replacement parts. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 4.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The tailgate can be easily dislodged from hinge when lifting from the passenger side of tailgate leading to it coming out of the C Hinge and hurting individual not expecting the full weight of tailgate coming off. No injuries luckily happened at the time of incident other than minor cosmetic damage from where the tailgate hit. I have video recreating what happened to describe the incident better but lack of hinge protection could result in serious injury if this occurs again.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
Toyota has two recalls on my 2023 tundra. One is from August 10, 2023 and the other is from May 30, 2024. The first can cause a fuel leak and the second can cause engine failure while driving. i got this truck in 2022. i am wondering what has to happen before something will be done to fix theses recalls or I have to go through some changes before this is handled. I do not need any accidents before anything is done to fix my situation

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I am currently leasing this 2023 Toyota Tundra Platinum and after about six I noticed that there was a delay in the throttle engaging and it felt like the truck bogged down. I asked the sales associate whom I bought the vehicle from if this was normal, and she said it was a normal safety feature. I have brought up a complaint with Toyota since November of 2023 about it and since then I have had my kids in the truck and there are multiple situations where i have had to cross traffic, go around someone on the highway almost being rearended because the vehicle does not engage and go as needed ultimately almost causing multiple wrecks. Toyota mechanics have ridden with me so I can show them, and they also have noticed the delay, and they have no answer for me. After researching the internet, I am not the only one having this issue with the 2022-2023 tundra. Here recently I have noticed that when you go from breaking to a stop and then go straight to the gas pedal there is a hesitation and then surge from the vehicle which I feel is also very unsafe. All I am asking is for the vehicle to be replaced so my family is safe. Please help me in any possible because Toyota will not.

AIR BAGS
I came upon a hairpin turn on a country road in North Georgia. I applied brakes hard as was driving at 42 mph (according to engineering report). I made the turn without sliding and not colliding with anything when my side curtain airbags deployed. I hit nothing and no damage whatsoever with exception of nearly $10,000.00 interior damage from airbag deployment.

2023 Tundra 39k miles. Engine shut off randomly while driving at 65 MPH. Was able to pull to the side of the road. Turned it off then back on and it was like nothing had happened. Pretty heavy traffic where it happened. Really dangerous.

ENGINE
On 10/18/2024 as I was driving my 2023 Toyota Tundra the engine quit running,after coasting to the burm of the road I got out and check the oil and found it full. I then tried to restart it and it sounded like the bottom half of the engine was coming apart. I had it towed to a nearby Toyota dealer,when they looked at the oil it had metal in it. I had to obtain a rental car under customer pay until the dealer determined what had happened,they informed me that they found a substantial amount of metal in the oil pan,just like the 96000 Toyota tundra’s that have been recalled due to this issue. I requested a new engine,a new truck or a buyback of my truck,I was later contacted by the service manager for the dealership and was told the would be doing a short block rebuild of this engine. My issue with this solution is that it was caused by the same issue that the 96000 other Toyota Tundra’s hav been recalled for and Toyota has informed me my warranty doesn’t qualify me for a new engine replacement. Common sense should be my engine should qualify for the same solution those other Toyota Tundras. I am filing this complaint because TOYOTA refuses to help me in any way,and the value of my truck will be negatively effected by their decision.

ENGINE
Engine started knocking at 58,000 miles, lost power and then completely lost all oil, pressureand then the vehicle became undrivable. Toyota has it in their service department and said it needs an engine replacement. It also does not have a part for the recall that we’ve been waiting on for over a year. They said it’s gonna take two months to repair.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
My son was driving our 2023 Toyota Tundra (non-hybrid) at approximately 25-30 miles an hour when the engine shut down. He had difficulty steering but was able to safely brake to a stop in the middle of the road. Cars were forced to pass him on the shoulder. He was unable to restart the engine for what he estimates was approximately one minute. He was finally able to restart the engine and drive home. The next day I drove it to the Toyota dealer. The engine stalled on me one block from the dealer on a busy intersection. I was able to get it restarted, out of traffic and into the dealership where it sits today. There were no apparent symptoms with the vehicle prior to it stalling on my son. I received an engine failure warning message when the vehicle stalled on me. The dealership looked at the engine and stated that there is lose debris in the engine. The dealership has stated that they are unable to give me a diagnoses letter or a repair order at this time. Once they repair is made, they can give me something in writing. This issue appears to be similar Safety Recall 24TA07. However, Toyota is stating that my vehicle does not fall under 24TA07. It appears have a vehicle with an engine stall safety issue that is not attached to a recall.
