ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:FUEL GAUGE
The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that upon refueling the vehicle, the fuel gauge failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that the fuel gauge remained on FULL despite driving for a significant number of miles after the fill-up. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where a service agent reset the system which then showed the correct fuel level. Despite the reset, the failure returned on multiple occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,074.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, STEERING
My 2023 Toyota Tundra currently has a open recall for the fuel tube rubbing against another near component increasing the risk of fire. The life of my family/public and myself were put at risk every day as this can cause a fire which is life threating. This problem has been confirmed by Toyota however there is no safe remedy for it at the moment. There is also a problem with the suspension/ball joints. Every time I turn the steering wheel while driving forward or reverse there is a clicking noise coming from what appears to be the suspension or ball joints or around that area. That issue has been reported to the local dealer however they cant duplicate that issue, according to the service adviser. There were no warning lamps turned on prior to any of the aforementioned. One thing I did notice was that the gas mileage significantly dropped even though I was driving the same distance. Also at times there is a strong fuel odor after a trip is completed or at times while the truck is operating. I am highly concerned for the safety of my family and others that are around my truck while operating as this fuel tube issue is a cause for an increased risk of fire. Toyota of Seattle is where my truck currently is at however the dealer has yet to fix both issues.

SEATS
I was on a camping trip in Wyoming, and I started my Tundra up on a chilly morning. It was running for about 5 minutes before I came back to it and entered the cab. Immediately upon entering I noticed a strange smell. I also noticed at that time that the driver’s seat was extremely warm. I quickly shut off the heat warmer (original equipment on the truck). Inspecting the seat, I could see where the leather was just starting to melt. Luckily, I caught this in time, for if I would have left it longer, the vehicle could have caught fire. An online search discovered previous problems with Toyota seat warmers. My contact with Toyota was not helpful, for they simply told me that it was out of warranty, despite being a safety issue.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra SR 5 with only 88330 miles. I had it inspected yesterday and was told that the truck may not pass next year due to the known issue of undercarriage rust. I had checked into this with Toyota in the past and was told that my particular truck was not covered by the recall for this rust issue. I am not sure why or how my truck was excluded from the safety recall but believe it was, and for me, still is an issue that needs to be addressed. The truck is in otherwise beautiful condition with an intact gold paint job and matching Leer camper shell. In fact I get a lot of compliments and believe that it would be also in Toyota's interest to keep this classic on the road. I am hoping that they will work with me in this regard. Thank you in advance.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
There has been a known issue and recall on this vehicle since August with both personal and public life threatening events. Official notifications are just being shared from Toyota with no sight line provided for permanent fix. This causes significant cause for concern and angst in daily driving of the vehicle. If a fix isn’t available, a complete vehicle recall and exchange should be provided as resolution. These are serious life threatening circumstances that could impact myself, my family or innocent bystander. I feel unsafe and hold Toyota and National highway traffic and safety directly liable. The enforcement and the assumed liability by Toyota of delivering a safe vehicle should be upheld.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Before this recall happened we had issues with screen blacking out and crashing even after the recall was “fixed” also the back seat outlet has never worked. The malfunction of the grille shutter and park support brake malfunction came last week and we had to have that fixed. Now this! The dealerships around kansas don’t have loaner vehicles or rentals available. How is this okay?!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
This vehicle is dangerous. There are many more, complaint level issues, but there are at least three real safety issues. First, the automatic braking system has engaged multiple times for no reason. Traveling down a straight, flat road in good weather, the brakes suddenly went fully engaged. On one occasion my dog was thrown forcefully into the dash and was injured and then afraid to ride in the truck. It makes me afraid of the truck as well and could have easily caused an accident. Second, there is the known fuel line issue. This could, according to the manufacturer, be a fire risk. However, there's no remedy. So I'm driving around this truck that could catch fire, that likes to slam on the brakes for no reason. Third, there's something wrong with the windshields in these trucks. Mine recently was broken while the vehicle was parked. It just cracked. Just driving it home made the crack quadruple in size. It's unsafe to drive as is. I contacted Toyota and they aren't interested in considering that there's something wrong with the windshields, yet they can't replace it, because they're back ordered due to so many being broken. So I have a truck that slams on the brakes unpredictably, that might catch fire, that the windshield broke for no reason but can't be replaced. I've spoken several times with Toyota corporate about this and they have no answers and keep referring to the dealer who tells me there are no answers and to call toyota. It's a classic runaround while my $70,000 truck is unsafe to drive. It's absolutely unsafe and the NHTSA needs to act to protect consumers from these vehicles.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
When I drive my vehicle it is difficult to apply the brakes on it and I feel like if I press too hard (which might be necessary if I need to suddenly stop) that the brakes might break or fail somehow. I have also noticed that underneath my truck, the frame is rotting out in certain areas and the leafs (steel long plates near the rear of the vehicle) is bending out of shape. There is a clanking noise near the front of the vehicle that concerns me as well when I pass through a small bump.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
[XXX] - After driving the truck for less than six months (with only one key fob) I was notified via the Toyota mobile app on August 10, that my truck had a safety recall for the fuel line with limited information provided through the Toyota mobile app. At no time was I advised that the vehicle was unsafe to operate. Upon bringing my vehicle into McGeorge Toyota on August 28, 2023 for the standard 5,000-mile service, I requested that the dealer address the recall by making a temporary remedy to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle until the permanent remedy was determined. At that time, the service representative advised me that Toyota (manufacturer), has provided no direction nor materials to make either the temporary or permanent repairs to the truck. I asked what would be done to make this right and they advised me that they would contact me when the remedy was available and there was no additional action at that time. Not feeling satisfied with that unsafe resolution which I interpreted as an implication that I should continue to drive the vehicle until the remedy was available, I called the Toyota Brand Engagement Center and the advocate advised me that I could request a loaner vehicle. Upon speaking with Chris Wiltshire, the service manager at McGeorge, I suggested that the advocate informed me I could request a loaner vehicle. The loaner was not of like kind, function, or value compared to my Tundra. The remedy has not been completed and the truck has been sitting on the dealer lot since August. The dealer refuses to provide a comparable loaner, coordinate a comparable rental or refund the purchase price of the truck. The manufacturer refuses to commit to covering full rental or refunding purchase price of truck. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that after attempting to start the vehicle, the engine failed to turn over. The contact stated that after several attempts, the vehicle started. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump and the CPU had failed, and the fuel pump needed to be replaced, and the CPU needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that he used a code reader to diagnose the vehicle and the result showed that an ethanol fuel type had been detected instead of regular fuel to refuel the vehicle. The contact stated that the system was confused, and that ethanol was not the fuel type that was used. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000. The VIN was unavailable.
