ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2023 Toyota Tundra. On July 20, 2026 and again on September 18, 2026, while driving, the truck suddenly lost power and went into limp mode. The dash showed 'Check Engine / Reduced Engine Power / Visit Your Dealer' at about 43,440 miles. The truck had to be towed to the dealer on a flatbed. Losing power without warning in traffic is a serious safety risk. Other ongoing problems: the brakes squeaked for over a year before they were fixed, the driver seat bolster plastic is broken (this would be the third repair), the radio volume knob has failed, and there is excessive wind noise. This VIN still shows open recall 25V767 (engine machining debris causing loss of motive power), which has not been performed despite two dealer visits for this exact failure.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Here's your description, about 1,750 characters, so it fits the 2,000 limit: --- My 2025 Toyota Tundra has two intermittent defects that have not been repaired despite multiple visits to Berglund Toyota in [XXX] 1. Driver's door will not unlock. Intermittently, when I press unlock on the key fob, all doors unlock except the driver's door. I have video showing me standing outside the truck with the fob in hand while the driver's door stays locked and the other doors open normally. The dealer disassembled the door and checked the wiring and connections but could not duplicate the problem and found no codes. A Toyota field technician also inspected the truck. No parts have been replaced because the failure could not be reproduced in the shop. When this happens I cannot get into the driver's seat of my vehicle, which is a safety concern, especially in an emergency or bad weather. 2. Tailgate fails in two ways. Sometimes when raised it will not latch closed. Other times it becomes stuck in the down position and cannot be raised, even manually. On one occasion this happened in a store parking lot, and I had to secure my load with a cargo net across the open bed to drive home. The truck has been to the dealer for the tailgate more than once. The dealer has ordered latch parts, but it has not been confirmed that this will correct the stuck-down condition. Both problems are intermittent and can occur at any time. My wife and I are in our [XXX] and rely on this vehicle. Toyota has been notified in writing. Other 2025 Tundra owners have reported the driver's door locking when the tailgate is operated, which may indicate the two problems are related. Root cause: UNKNOWN. No warning lights or codes appeared before the door failures. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Two issues happening at the same time. “Key not detected” and “TPMS System Malfunction”. Key not detected: Happens at various times, either at startup or while driving, an error message that says “Key not detected “ comes on the dash and a loud beeping. My concern is that I may become stranded somewhere if the system cannot detect the key when trying to start the truck. The issue has been confirmed by both the dealer and Toyota and has not been fixed to date. TPMS System Malfunction: At various times while driving, a warning message is displayed on the dashboard that states there is a malfunction with the tire pressure monitoring system and that it should be checked by the dealership. My concern is that the TPMS system is unable to monitor the tire pressure and that could cause a dangerous situation. The issue has been confirmed by both the dealer and Toyota and has not been fixed to date. The truck has been back to the dealership 5 times for these issues and has been there for four days as of this writing.

Possible issue with the safety of others: My tailgate for my 2025 Tundra crewmax came opened (unknown to me) and contents of my Truck bed dumped onto the road. The incident as it happened. I was backed into a parking spot, truck was off, when I got in my remote was in my pocket and the truck would not start. So I pulled the remote out of my pocket and put it in the console. The truck would then start. I wasnt observant to the dashboard warnings if they were there. While driving home I heard all my bed contents fall out. Fortunatly I noticed it before it affected anyone. The best I can figure is that other objects in my pocket may have pushed the tailgate button. Since I was backed in and the tailgate lowering is so quiet, I didnt hear it or see it. I feel unsafe now to carry anything in my truck bed without backup protection. I would rather have a manual tailgate and totally disable the auto function but as I understand it, only the auto close mode can be disabled. I have not presented this to the dealership yet nor have I tried to duplicate the issue yet.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Recall 25V-767 (Toyota 25TB14) is open on my VIN with no remedy available. Full statement and sources attached. XXX 12 days after the recall was filed and before I had any notice, my check engine light was on at an oil change at Colonial Toyota, [XXX]. The tech showed me the dealer's video of it and the light was cleared. I reported rough running and hesitation pulling away, and fear of a stall in traffic. The only rental offered was a subcompact, which cannot replace my full-size truck or tow my trailer. I was told nothing could be done until Toyota released a fix. None of this is on the repair order. I stopped driving the truck; by mid-XXX it had 19,923 miles. I asked the dealer in writing on XXX for the video, the cleared-code record and their retention policy. No response. Toyota says the video was auto-deleted and that it found no codes, but produced no code report and no deletion record. Toyota met NHTSA about rising failures XXX my CT lemon law protection ended XXX; the recall was filed XXX. The first recall (24V-381) replaced engines; this one uses inspection software, and is still not available for my truck. Six owners sued over this engine ([XXX] v. Toyota Motor North America, D. Vt. No.XXX. In XXX Toyota paid NHTSA $48.8 million in penalties, including for late defect reporting. Please review whether: the remedy is timely and adequate; dealers are clearing codes without recording them, keeping warnings out of recall data; owners get usable transportation; and Toyota reported this defect as promptly as required. I am also preparing a formal complaint to the United States Department of Justice. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Subject: NHTSA Safety Complaint: Sudden Engine Seizure and Loss of Motive Power – 2024 Toyota Tundra (Recall 25V767 Alignment) To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally lodge a critical safety complaint regarding a life-threatening mechanical failure. On XXX, while driving at highway cruising speeds under normal operating conditions (no towing or payload), my vehicle suffered an abrupt, complete internal engine seizure and a total loss of motive power. Simultaneously, the instrument cluster displayed a "Pull over to level ground, oil hot" thermal alert, indicating an acute, systemic mechanical breakdown. This failure sequence directly aligns with NHTSA Recall 25V767 (Toyota Recall 25TA14 / 25TB14), which addresses permanent main bearing destruction caused by manufacturing debris left inside the V35A engine block. My local dealer, [XXX] Toyota, intends to process this repair under an extended warranty. I strongly reject this classification. Because this catastrophic failure perfectly matches the technical parameters and safety risks of an active federal campaign, it must be handled strictly under the purview of the federal recall framework. I request that NHTSA document this event to ensure Toyota is held accountable under its recall mandate. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] | [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V320000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving or accelerating from a complete stop, the vehicle hesitated for 5–6 seconds before accelerating as intended, with a ticking sound coming from the engine. Additionally, the contact saw puddles of oil on the garage floor, and there was an abnormal burning oil odor coming from the vehicle. Several dealers and the manufacturer were notified of the failure by phone; however, a diagnostic test was denied, and the contact was advised to wait until parts for the recall repair were available to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.

STRUCTURE:BODY
On 06/02/2026, at approximately 20,000 miles, the driver's front interior door handle on my 2025 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro failed. An internal component connecting the handle to the latch mechanism broke, and the door could not be opened from inside. I was unable to exit the vehicle through the driver's door using the interior handle. I had to lower the window and open the door using the exterior handle to exit the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired under warranty at Loyalty Toyota (Chester, VA), repair order 7245169/1. The dealer initially suggested the failure might be classified as improper use. They later informed me that Toyota considers it a known manufacturing defect, and the handle was replaced. On 09/06, at approximately 25,000 miles, the driver-side rear interior door handle failed in the same manner. The vehicle is currently at the same dealer awaiting parts, repair order 7255879/1. I asked the dealer to replace the remaining interior door handles because the failure is a known defect. The dealer said Toyota will replace each handle only after it fails. This is a safety concern. The interior door handles are the primary way for occupants to exit the vehicle. If a handle fails during a crash, fire, submersion, or other emergency, an occupant may be unable to open the door and could be trapped. Passengers, including children or anyone unfamiliar with the vehicle, are unlikely to know to use the window and exterior handle as a workaround. Because the failures occur without warning, there is no way to know which remaining handle will fail next. Other owners of 2025 Tundra's report the same failure on owner forums, and similar interior handle failures have been reported on the 2025 Tacoma. I am asking NHTSA to review whether this is a defect pattern affecting 2025 Tundra and Tacoma interior door handles that warrants investigation or a recall.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The Forward Recognition Camera on my 2019 Toyota Tundra has suffered an internal failure. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Toyota dealership, which diagnosed and documented:"FOUND INTERNAL FAULT IN FORWARD RECOGNITION CAMERA." The failed component is available for inspection. This camera is a critical safety component that supports forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and other driver-assistance systems. Because of this internal failure, the vehicle's ability to detect potential hazards may be reduced or disabled, leaving the driver without safety features that were designed to help prevent or mitigate crashes. This failure places not only the occupants of my vehicle at risk but also other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists sharing the roadway. The condition was reproduced and confirmed by an authorized Toyota dealer. The dealer determined that the camera itself had internally failed and requires replacement. The failure was not attributed to an accident, impact, misuse, modification, or outside damage. It was diagnosed as an internal fault of the camera assembly. Prior to diagnosis, warning messages and safety-system malfunction alerts appeared on the vehicle, indicating that the driver-assistance systems were not functioning properly. These warnings prompted me to seek service. The dealership subsequently confirmed the internal camera failure. I am concerned that this component failed under normal operating conditions in a relatively modern vehicle and that other Toyota Tundra owners may be experiencing the same defect. A safety-critical camera system should not experience an internal failure that disables key crash-avoidance technologies. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether this defect is affecting other 2019 Toyota Tundra vehicles and determine whether corrective action, including a recall, is warranted. The dealer diagnosis specifically states:"FOUND INTERNAL FAULT IN FORWARD RECOGNITION CAMERA."

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
Front seat belt alarm randomly goes off indicating that the seatbelt is not buckled. This occurs randomly at times 3-5 time a day or days without incident. I feel my safety is at risk because the vehicle does sense that the driver or passenger is buckled. Does this have an impact on other safety features like the airbags deloying? If there are no direct safety impacts, there is also the impact of it distracting the driver and causing an accident. The problem is so random that the dealer has not reproduced it. However, I have video evidence of it occurring and Toyota still does nothing. Inspected only by Toyota during service. No- not regarding specifically this issue but the truck also has numerous other electronic glitches to say.

TIRES
The contact owned a 2024 Toyota Tundra equipped with Falken Tires, Tire Line: Wildpeak A/T3WA, Tire Size: 265/60/R20, DOT Number: [XXX]. The contact stated that all four tires were prematurely worn, with the steel belts visible. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the tread wear failure was characteristic of the type vehicles due to the factory alignment configuration, allowing for the abnormal wearing of the tires. The dealer was notified of the failure but declined to assist. The contact stated that the TPMS warning light was illuminated. The contact was notified by the manufacturer that there was a TSB for the failure; however, the vehicle was not included in the repair. The vehicle failure mileage was 38,000. The tire failure mileage was 28,000. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
