ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
New 2022 Toyota Tundra Hybrid, 2000 miles, experienced a total system failure while driving, engine, Hybrid system, brake, parking brake etc. all systems failure causing a serious safety issue. Dealership called Toyota as diagnostics instructed them to. They want to replace computer but frankly they have no idea and are guessing making this vehicle completely unsafe as it can never be driven on a highway where another failure would likely cause injury or death. Dealers position is it's not their problem, it's Toyotas!!!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
the accelerator is very hesitant from a complete stop. it hesitates and has almost caused several accidents. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it from for its 1st maintenance and told them about the issue and they could not find anything wrong with it. This is a constant persistent complaint. I pick up the vehicle with 27 miles and occurs at every stop, every day. The engine can be hot or cold.There is not any time that this does not happen. They gave me a loaner 2023 tundra and it did not have any issues with the accelerator.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Fuel Pump failed. Vehicle is currently at dealership awaiting 2+ week repair. Currently available to inspect. Failure began while driving. Caused misfire in cylinder 1, caused electrical fault that disabled traction control. Potential to leave the vehicle inoperable on the roadside poses a safety risk. Toyota dealership in possession states "START WITH FUEL PUMP, REPORGRAM ECM PER TSB AND RELEARN FUEL DENSITY FOR ALCOHOL CONTENT FLEX FUEL VEHICLE, OUT OF WARRANTY FOR TSB" Toyota dealership is the only entity to perform any inspection. There were no warning lamps or messages related to the fuel system. Check engine light and message stating "Traction Control Off" appeared while driving the vehicle. After limping the vehicle home, the vehicle would not start.

I had a blowout on the front passenger side of the truck. The truck was purchased in Oct. 2022 with less than 4K miles. In duration the rim was damaged as well from trying to get to a safe place. To get this truck fixed by a licensed Toyota dealership has been the absolute worst…

STRUCTURE:BODY
The driver's side front frame has rotted out disconnecting the mount for the anti-roll bar. This has happened despite several reports to the dealership going back many years that the frame was rusting rapidly which, upon examination, they said that it was OK. They did apply a coating which might have delayed the process a bit but ultimately resolved nothing. For trucks that had perforated frames during the first few years, they replaced the frame. I tried to take care of mine, but it has finally failed and they say the replacement program is over. They are unwilling to provide even the necessary frame section and mounting bracket for the sway bar (~$545) for the frame shop to install %(2120).This vehicle has less than 98,000 miles on it and is used for short trips performing farmette duties. Frame failure can cause catastrophic accidents and should not be ignored by the manufacturer regardless of age. They know they used bad steel and should act accordingly. My action has been delayed by storm damage to frame shop which didn't reopen until December.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I bought a 2007 Toyota Tundra less than 3 months ago from Toyota of Simi Valley. 2 months ago my check engine light and other warning lights suddenly went on while I was driving and my truck went into “limp mode” while merging onto a freeway, causing other drivers to swerve around me to avoid a collision. I took the truck back to Toyota and they advised the Air injection pump and air control valve need to be replaced. Total cost to repair is almost $4,000. I purchased at Bronze level extended warranty which covers up to 24,000 miles but the insurance carrier denied the claim saying these items are excluded, despite these items not being listed on their “excluded items list”. Toyota then offered to pay 1/2 the total cost of repairs, which in of itself is an admission of guilt. I’ve only made 2 payments on the vehicle, I should not be responsible for these repairs. I took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who advised Toyota’s assessment is correct, however, it should only cost $2k to fix the vehicle, not $4k. The mechanic also advised of an emission system issue and that this vehicle will not pass smog at this time.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
On 11/25/22 I meet with American Auto Mall to buy a used truck I was assured through text, website and window sticker that the truck was in excellent condition inside and out.. I have all this documents proofing this.. I did van limited inspection at the lot and a test drive.. found nothing that stuck out.. other than the radio not working but the dealership said he would reimburse me if I got it fixed..so after that a down payment was made of $5550 dollars and paperwork was signed.. I drove the truck home and the next week I got in it and it wouldn't start, turns out it needed a battery and alternator, so I took it to a shop and was told that this vehicle was badly rusted and had a lot of hidden rust damage.. and improperly installed brakes., coolant leaks and exhaust leaks.. after finding this out I tried to call the dealership and he hasn't been replying.. I was also told this truck wouldn't pass a legal VA inspection.. so the current one was fraudulent I have all documents that support my case. I will like to turn this vehicle back in and given a full refund
