STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
I have owned the truck since 2022 and since then the skid plate covering the gas tank has broken in the same place. The mount to the frame has broken and has dismissed the issue by stating external factor. When these mounts break, the skid plate drags on the road potentially sending debris into the windshield of drivers behind me. It has happened 3 times driving on pavement. It’s a known issue and I’ve tried to resolve with manufacturer with no success or resolution. It’s poorly designed plate. Plastic and metal. There is no sign it was hit

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while parking the vehicle, there was a loud sound coming from the vehicle. The contact inspected the vehicle and determined that the fuel tank scrap and bolt had fractured and detached. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. In addition, the contact stated that when the vehicle was purchased in May 2024, the contact later noticed flaking material on the ground underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. In addition, the contact confirmed that in March 2019, the vehicle was serviced under an unknown corrosion prevention recall repair. The contact confirmed that at the time, the dealer performed the recall repair by spraying anti-corrosion prevention on the suspension. The unknown recall repair was warranted for 60 months. The failure mileage was approximately 279,000.

ENGINE
After Toyota replaced the engine on my 2022 Tundra under recall, the truck developed serious issues that were not present before. The engine and powertrain system now knock, shake, stutter, and in multiple instances, the vehicle has shut off completely—including while driving and while stopped at intersections. These failures pose a significant safety risk to myself and others. Sudden loss of power in traffic or while braking has created close calls, especially when other vehicles are nearby. I no longer feel safe driving it. I have taken the truck to the Toyota dealership six times. They claim they cannot replicate the problem, but the symptoms return every time shortly after I leave. So far, the problem has not been confirmed by the dealer or any third party, but the issue is persistent and serious. The truck has only been inspected by the Toyota dealership. No inspections have been done by police, insurance, or other agencies. There are no warning lights or dashboard messages before or during these events. The symptoms began shortly after the engine was replaced and continue today. The vehicle is available for inspection if needed. Toyota has not resolved the issue, and I am concerned other owners who had the same recall engine replacement may be experiencing similar problems. I’m filing this to report a potential safety defect and ask NHTSA to investigate.

I have a 2006 Tundra with 120k miles and I was told it wasn't one that was effected by the recall. However I'm have frame rot issues and just had to spend thousands of dollars to make it safe. This is the second time I've had to repair the frame in the 4/5 years I've owned it.

The built-in navigation system in my 2019 Toyota Tundra is dangerously outdated and cannot be updated over-the-air (OTA). Recently, it misrouted me into a remote, unfamiliar area with no cell service and incorrect road data. If I hadn’t had enough fuel, I could have been stranded in potentially life-threatening conditions. Toyota continues to install these systems with outdated maps and no OTA functionality, while presenting them as part of a reliable, intelligent driving experience. This is not a minor tech issue—it is a safety failure. Drivers are led to trust a system that cannot be trusted. I want to be clear: this experience has completely changed how I view Toyota as a brand. What seemed like a small, fixable flaw turned into a moment of genuine danger. That moment told me everything I needed to know about Toyota’s priorities—and Toyota is no longer in my future because of it. I urge NHTSA to investigate this as a potential recall-level issue. A navigation system that actively misleads the driver and offers no timely updates is not just broken—it’s hazardous.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Driving on the freeway when I heard what sounded like a gunshot. I kept looking around to see what had hit me. It sounded like it came from the right side of my truck. I couldn't see anything amiss. I started hearing crackling when my hearing cleared up a little. I drew back the moonroof cover to find that the glass had shattered. I don't recall seeing any debris strike the truck. I've saved video on my dash cam and can't see anything from the roadway coming at the truck during that time.

ENGINE
Driving down the highway going about 80-85 mph and the engine just shuts offs. Get dash message to pull over engine has lost power. RPM gauge is at Zero (0). I eventually am able to pull over to the shoulder in which I shut the engine off. Tried to restart and engine wouldn't restart. After 5 min pass, I am able to start the truck back up and drive off. But now the confidence that my truck is safe to drive on the highway has been shot and I worry if I should even take it on the highway again. Took into local Toyota dealer to have it looked at and of course, service technician does not get any computer codes saying what happened. They could not duplicate the event, so they are putting me back in the truck with no explanation as to why it happened and if it will ever happen again. There was no true fix for this issue, just to bring it back it it happens again. The chances that if and when it does happen, there probably won't be a computer code again.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Whenever it rains in DFW, vehicle emits a foul/musty odor from the HVAC system. Only happens when it rains. HVAC setting has always been the same, "Lo" temp, AC Mode ON, Recirculation mode ON, fan speed varies. Taken vehicle to two different dealerships and techs unable to duplicate. It doesnt rain much here in TX so it is hard to get it taken care of while still within warranty. My family and I use this vehicle primarily and I am concerned for my kids' lung health as they are [XXX], [XXX], and [XXX] years old as of writing. Running out of warranty time and hate to not get this fixed and be [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On [XXX] I was traveling in my 2022 Trd Pro Tundra 5.5 hv. I was taking a left turn at a green light, when all of the sudden lights appeared on my dash saying “HYBRID SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, visit your dealer”. The car continued to function for approximately 1 minute, until the next light where it turned off. I tried to turn the vehicle back on, but it started to shake when it tried to start. At this point I was stuck at the light with traffic behind me, the engine had failed and the hybrid system had failed as well. I had to call 911 and request an officer to come assist, because I was blocking traffic. The vehicle had to pulled to a lot where I could unhook my boat that was in tow, and tow the truck to the Beaver Toyota dealership. After arriving at the dealer and being there for over a week, I have been informed that they will be preforming a short block rebuild, because my truck is not listed in the 2022-2023 Toyota tundra recall. Even though my truck experienced the same engine failure due to debris in the engine as all the 2022-2023 tundras. My specific truck was not included in this recall because Toyota says the hybrid system would be able to move my car to a safe position if there was an engine failure. This was in fact not true because my hybrid system malfunction at the moment of the engine failure resulting in me stuck in the middle of the road blocking traffic having to call the police. Toyota needs to include trd pro hybrid owners in the 2022-2024 full block recall or face extensive legal action.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Hesitation when trying to accelerate. When I start my truck in the morning And hit the gas there’s a hesitation before it will move and When I come to a stop sign and hit the gas there’s always a hesitation. When the truck finally starts to move it jumps quickly forward from pressing down on the gas pedal and it’s almost caused me to rear end someone multiple times.

POWER TRAIN
My 2023 Toyota Tundra motor just locked up exactly as the events discussed on the recall with the same model. Toyota stated that my truck was not affected yet here we are. Toyota opted to do a short block replacement instead of the long block as they did with the other trucks. I am concerned that I will have similar failure down the line due to residual metal in the turbo lines and or turbos that will cause turbo and or possible engine filatures later down the line. This is a safety issue because it can result in me being stranded if failure occurs aware from home. This needs to be addressed. Also my truck lurges and the gas pedal does not always respond. A serious investigation needs to be launched against Toyota, these issues can result in many Americans dying if left un checked!!

SERVICE BRAKES
This truck has squeaky brakes. I have complained to the dealer and filed a complaint with the complaint department at the corporate office. They are aware of the situation. I keep being told it is a know issue and parts are not available to repair the situation. Because this is a brake issue I am very concerned about my safety as I drive this vehicle, Please investigate this issue with Toyota and I believe a safety recall should be issued, In my many conversations with them I don.t feel they are concerned with this issue. I have been complaining and following up for over a year. I'm tired of complaining on deaf ears.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Frame rusted out causing gas tank to fall off truck while driving. Was sparking while trying to pull of to a safe spot on highway, tank was hanging on by the fuel line. Leaf spring also broke on truck do to rust. Cars were avoiding my truck on highway as sparks were coming from the gas tank shield scrapping the highway. Frame should have been replaced along with gas lines, and leaf springs during the recall in 2012 range. Toyota of York decided to just undercoat spray frame, prior to me purchasing truck from them. They never notified me (the consumer) of the recall that was current on truck.
