UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Had been driving for 35 miles on 70mph freeway when dash lights illuminated stating the parking break would not disengage. This truck has an electronic parking break that was not engaged. Truck then said it was going into reduced power mode and shut off acceleration over approx. 5 MPH. I later read the alerts in the Toyota app and it stated “ a malfunction in the electronic control of engine” and a “malfunction in the intelligent control system”. I nearly got rear ended by multiple semis since I had no power. Took truck to dealership but because the “they couldn’t recreate the issue”, they gave the truck back. This is a huge safety issue with these trucks and Toyota needs to do something about it. It appears to be a common issue with the turbos in this new engine.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My gas gauge does not work properly . When I fill it up it showing full. I will put on any where from 40-70 miles and my gauge will show I have 3/4 of a take before empty. Then I turn it off and when I turn it back the gauge goes back to full. Went to a dealership twice . The first time they replace a gas pump and some other things. I picked it up drove it around and the same thing happened. Took it in a second time and they told me Toyota has no solution to fix my gauge .

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
The new Tundra most of the features are controlled by the 14-inch Infotainment screen. The screen has gone completely dark and irresponsive to touch, power on/off, and hard reset by the dealership. Given that so many of the truck's safety features are controlled in this system, the vehicle is unsafe to operate. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership for service and beyond the hard reset (disconnect and reconnect the battery) which they've done, they are unable to diagnose what the problem is or how to fix it.

POWER TRAIN
Truck has a frequent delay/ hesitation accelerating from a stop. Also has a situation where when accelerating from low speed (3-5 mph) the transmission feels as though it’s in a very high gear and is therefore sluggish. Both issues cause potential safety hazards in traffic. Truck also has harsh or jerky shifts in lower gears, (my best guess is gears 1-6 although it’s hard to tell because there is no gear display) which causes drive-ability problems. Local dealer told me my truck has the most up to date transmission programming therefore there is nothing they can do. Issues have been present since new.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving off from a red light, we experienced a severe jolt from when the emergency braking system engaged on its own. There was no vehicle in front us at the time of the incident. The sudden stop was so severe, I thought we had gotten rear ended. This is the second time this incident has happened to us in this vehicle. The first time my wife and 3 small children were accelerating from a stop sign. The truck came to a violent sudden stop. My wife was terrified. We took the vehicle to the dealership. They could not tell us what had happened. They reset the computer and told us it would not happen again. This last incident happen on 6/13/2023. The 2022 Tundra Limited Edition has 8,508. Miles. I bought a new vehicle to make sure my family would feel safe. We are terrified of driving this truck, because it may cause us to get into an accident.

While driving my new 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Hybrid, the car alerted of Hybrid System Malfunction, Secondary Collision Brake System Malfunction, Check Engine and Traction Control Turned Off. At this time, the system went in to some sort of Creep mode and wouldn't allow me to accelerate. The truck would barely move over 15 mph. I pulled over and shut the truck off, exited the vehicle, re-entered the vehicle and restarted the truck. The same alerts come back on. After a bit, the truck allowed me to start without the issues. I immediately took the vehicle to Toyota for service. Toyota is claiming it's a fluke, one-time "start sequence issue". I'm worried about this happening to me when I need to accelerate and not being able to accelerate. I searched the internet and others are having this issue. It seems Toyota needs to repair this and that it's a safety issue and able to prevent potential accidents.
