VISIBILITY/WIPER
Vehicle is now 6 months old from original & new purchase. Within 30-days of ownership, (1) approx 1.5mm in size chip was fully repaired half way up from the front of the windshield. Eight hours ago (1) extremely small pebble, approx 2mm in size, contacted the front windshield 2 inches from lower portion centered in front of the driver and NOT in the area of the previous repair. Now, the same chip is a full length horizontal crack. Windshield material(s) seem to be extremely prone to failure and possibly not up to NHTSA or federal specifications...

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LED lights are loose and rattle and flash all over the place. While driving over 40+mph or going over any bumps on the road . This only affects TRD PRO tundra’s with factory Ridgid lights . Toyota does not have a toyota approved repair even after going to dealership multiple times and calling toyota USA . They will not do anything for this safety issue besides offer lemon law options . Toyota states this is the only one with this issue . I have done research and brought this issue on a toyota trd forum and received over 100 complaints of other trd pro tundra owners with the same issue and toyota just gives them the run around . I brought this up to my toyota case manager and declined this is an issue . This can cause Photosensitive Epilepsy seizures and can cause serious injuries or death. Toyota has already replaced bezels once and issue persist they state they have updated bezel but have no ETA on when will be made available to be replaced. Toyota should make a recall on these trd pro tundras . My Toyota USA claim number is 220519001173

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
In stop and go traffic, when navigating round-abouts, and when accelerating away from controlled intersections (stop signals, stop signs, and yield signs), throttle control of the vehicle is inconsistent and unpredictable at slow speeds (between 1-3 mph). It behaves most poorly when attempting to accelerate after slowing, but not completely stopping. A situation drivers encounter often at yield signs, round-abouts, and stop signals that change to green while you are slowing. I have attempted to enter traffic with appropriate time/space and sufficiently pressed the accelerator only to have my vehicle sit stationary for another moment or two before lurching forward. By this time, my margin for error with approaching traffic was rapidly closing. Other times my vehicle has lurched forward when I only pressed the accelerator a small amount. I am aware of the lag in accelerating, but the lag in that 1-3 mph range is not consistent, so I can't consistently adjust for it. Recently, the truck lurched suddenly out of the parking spot I was in as soon as I took my foot off of the brake pedal. I was attempting to roll forward to have a better view around the vehicle parked next to me (I had backed into the parking spot). But rather than roll slightly forward, the truck lurched a couple feet. I caught it before impeding approaching cross traffic. But the sudden lurch visibly surprised the other driver and my passenger in the vehicle with me. (I will use this incident as the incident for the date report below, but the unpredictable throttle response is an ongoing issue that I deal with daily). I reported this issue to the dealer shortly after purchase of the vehicle. A field engineer from Toyota came out and test drove my vehicle, but I have heard nothing since. The service writer at the dealership acknowledged that other gen 3 Tundras he has test driven have behaved in a similar manner. My previous gen Tundra did not behave this way, nor do my other vehicles.

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I have been noticing since the beginning to middle of March 2022 the truck has been stalling while driving. It has happened 4 times since that time. Twice while in traffic and twice while driving on the highway. You have to come to a complete stop, put the vehicle in park and start the vehicle again. One time it happened we were almost rear ended by a semi truck driving behind us. Along with that, the Air Bag malfunction light has been coming on and off every few days. The fuel gauge has been showing all different fuel amounts as well every day. The truck has been a Toyota dealer for the past week and been communicating with Toyota engineers and I have been told by the service advisor Toyota is aware of these problems but do not have a fix. My family is terrified to drive the truck any longer and is a very dangerous and serious problem. I am not the only one who is experiencing this based on my own research. I did tell my dealer to document this on my record in detail as if anything happens to my family because of an engineering error I will take this to the highest level ever seen.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The contact owns a 2021 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving at various speeds using adaptive cruise control mode, the rear brake lights failed to illuminate whenever the vehicle slowed down independently. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of failure and the contact was awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000. Adaptive cruise control having no brake lights shown when doing it's job. This is a MAJOR safety factor and need rear brake lights to avoid accidents from behind.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Wayne drove the truck to work. It was an icy day in Texas so he drove slower than usual. He went to pick up a part (for work) from another shop, he arrived at the shop, turned off the truck and went inside to retrieve the part for work. A few minutes later he came out to his truck and the hazard lights were blinking. He did not turn them on. He then noticed the cab of the truck filled with black smoke, he opened the door, raised the hood to take off the battery cables. The fire destroyed his dash and all electrical in the dash. There were no warnings or messages that appeared prior to the fire.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
The engine V6 turbo wastegate is defective. The problem causes a Reduced Engine Power. Toyota and its dealership are trying to hide the problem from consumer. This vehicle is with Michaels Toyota of Bellevue in Washington. There are numerous YouTube buyer with the same problem. This problem requires the repair shop to lift up the body of the truck from the frame to get to the turbo part of the engine.
