FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Fuel pump is losing prime and difficult to start when cold. Various websites indicate Toyota issued a recall for 2018 and 2019 Tundra fuel pumps in 2020, but no recall appeared on our recent search when we began having issues. Did Toyota end the recall?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
One morning, I tried to start my truck, and it would not start. After taking it to Lipton Toyota in Fort Lauderdale, they determined the fuel pump was faulty. Unfortunately, they’ve had my truck for over two weeks and have informed me of a national shortage for Toyota fuel pumps. I have spoken to other dealerships in the area, including those in Kentucky, they are also on back order for these fuel pumps.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The vehicle is vibrating while accelerating and bogging down when the accelerator is depress, causing the car to slow down drastically. Doing research it similar to the issues that the fuel pump were having in the 2019 Toyota tundra recalls. Also at the start of the engine it seems that is bogging and causing the rpm to fluctuate, in some cases car will crank and will not start. I have vídeo prove of this issue and audio when the car is starting

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.

WHEELS, SUSPENSION, STEERING
I took my vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. During the safety inspection the Toyota authorized tech advised me about a serious safety issue with rust on the undercarriage of my vehicle. He advised that the control arms as well as sway bars and suspension , shocks, struts had heavy rust on them. He advised that this is a safety issue as if something breaks I could lose control. I have enclosed the video. I then contacted First Team Toyota and they initially wanted me to bring the truck in for inspection. The next day they called and told me that since I was no longer under warranty , That they could not help me. I was also told that the undercoating I paid extra for does not cover the parts that are rusted. I contacted Toyota corporate and they opened a case #[XXX]. After several days they decided that there was nothing they could do for me. I have my vehicle serviced routinely and have never been advised of any rust problems on my truck. Then after the warranty runs out, I’m advised of this problem. I take extreme care of my truck and spray the under carriage with fresh water whenever I drive thru rain or puddles. I am extremely concerned regarding the safety of this vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The electrical system malfunctioned, causing all warning lamps on the dashboard to light up. Because this happened while I was driving, I do believe that this electrical issue caused safety concerns for others on the road. The taillights went out first, seconds later, all remaining electrical failed at once, including airbags, windows, headlights at one point, pre collision warning lights, lane departure, and the breaking system failed as well. This caused safety concerns for myself, my passenger, as well as the public because all safety warning sensors failed at once while on the road. The problem has been confirmed by Roseville Toyota, who is a manufacturer, and who currently has the vehicle now, they said that there is definitely an electrical issue and most likely a short of some sort. The warning lamps and messages on the dash lit up one at a time, seconds apart from each other, until the entire dash was lit up completely while I was driving on March 24, 2023.

The contact's husband owns a 2019 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that on various occasions while starting the vehicle, the vehicle stalled. No warning lights were illuminated.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
We were driving down an unpaved road at 8 mph in 4WDh in our 2019 Toyota Tundra when I heard a couple popping sounds from inside the car. Then it stopped. I opened the passenger side door to get out and check on the truck, and flames were pouring out under the engine. There were 3 of us in the car. We immediately got out and tried to pour water and throw sand on the fire. It grew very quickly, so we ran away. The car was immediately engulfed in flames like something out of a movie with black smoke going high into the air. Within 5-10 minutes, the truck was totally gone. There were no warning signs/lights other than the 2 pops and then fire/explosion. We are very lucky we did not die. We bought it brand new. It was the first new car we’ve ever owned. It was impeccably cared for. We always brought it to the Toyota dealership in Eugene, OR for service. It was there about a month prior to the explosion. During that visit, they replaced the battery as well as dealt with the halogen light recall. Other things were more routine maintenance. We are in shock and do not want this to happen to others. We also do not know what our next steps are, but we wanted your agency to be aware of this issue. The local dealership said it must have been a car defect or bad workmanship at our last service. Either way, it was terrifying.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Sunroof shattered while driving on highway. Noise similar to a gun being fired, caused momentary disorientation; however, was able to keep vehicle on the road. No warning, no other vehicles around that could have kicked up a rock, debris, etc. Smooth conditions on the road (no potholes, bumps, etc.). Sunroof was in the tilt up position, side windows down, and rear window down - even temperature outside and inside (74 degrees F). Small glass "shards" in eyes and hair; however, most of it went up/out. Vehicle gets inspected tomorrow (09-21) for insurance purposes.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A technical safety bulletin was issue for this issue (T-SB-0036-19). On a recent trip in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, my wife and I were pulling a travel trailer with LED lights and noticed that the trailer disconnected warning come on. We thought it was a loose cable and pulled over to check the plug. We started home after our trip and had this occur several times on step grades. The scary issue is the lights continue to work indicating that it’s still connected, however when I checked the manual brake controller there were no brakes! There were no areas to pull over. Once we were able to pullover safely, we checked the connection again and it was still secure. This occurred again on I-40 as we approached and accident scene with sudden braking. Then it disappeared again. We made it safely home and I started researching the issue and found the bulletin. I took it to Toyota to complete but it’s still an optional bulletin. This is an enormous safety issue considering a 5400 pound truck capable of towing a 9200 pound trailer at highway speeds with no braking or access to the first step to stop trailer sway.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Intermit message "Trailer disconnect " message causing the trailer braking system to fail when attached to truck. Truck brakes are used to stop trailer at unsafe distances. Several trailers were used to verify. I have attached the fix but Toyota says its warranty issue. This is a "safety" issue. I had my 3 year old son in the truck when i had to apply the brakes and couldn't stop in enough time. The truck brakes could not handle the weight of the trailer hence why the trailer brakes were needed. Please prevent a death.
