VISIBILITY/WIPER, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I have a 2022 Tundra with 18,700 miles on it that is part of the recall for a new engine! This is my fourth tundra, and the materials used in the 3rd Gen are sub-par to say the least! I have already had to replace the actuator and motor in my passenger window because it was stuck halfway open/closed and it took the dealership almost 2 weeks just to get the parts and put them in. My tailgate isn't aligned properly and the mold growth on all the rubber window trim is a nightmare as well as the roof wells that are also covered in mold up and down both sides. My rear passenger door doesn't close correctly and nobody at Toyota knows how to fix any of these issues! I am very concerned about a dealership putting a new engine in my truck when they can't even change the oil or rotate my tires correctly. I also have other serious issues like, I feel a giant thud like somebody rear ended me when I step on the gas from a red light or stop sign and sometimes when I step on the gas on the highway and it scares the heck out of me. It almost feels like the back of my truck fell off. When it's raining out and my hood is covered in water and then the rain stops and I turn my windshieldwipers off, the water that rolls down the hood is spit straight into my windshield from the radiator fan! I also took it to the dealership to fix the fuel line recall, and they said they don't have the parts available, it's been over 2 weeks now and the recall was issued last year.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
While on highway truck decelerated on its own. We were trying 70 mph and the truck dropped to 60 mph while the gas pedal was still manually engaged. Its becoming an increaingly regular problem that the car will not accelerate from a complete stop, even with gas pedal fully engaged. Potential for accident is high, as there is no reliability when pulling out into traffic. Dealership ran diagnositic check during service, was unable to pin-point issue - - is also 2 to 3 months out on service schedule, so issue was reported early June to dealership but unable to service vehicle until mid-August. Dealerships advice was to report directly to Toyota - since no recall remedy was issued for engine issue and the acceleration issue isn't specifically named in their most recent recall for the 2022 model.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The problem was identified approximately August 2023 and they claim there is no remedy for the problem as of today. However, they are selling the 2024 identical models without the issue. This means they have fixed the problem and not trying to remedy the problem in the vehicles that are already sold. Possibly fuel leaks and a fires are a serious problem that risking injuries, deaths or loss of properties. They need to be held accountable for an expedited solution. Thanks

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE:BODY
Years back there was a recall in regard to the frame. I brought the truck into Colonial Toyota in Milford CT for the recall. I was advised that the frame was fine and did not need to be replaced. Recently when i brought the truck in for an oil change the owner advised me that the gas straps attached to the frame had rusted out. He demanded that I remove the vehicle from his facility ASAP due to the excessive danger this created and not to drive the truck. He advised me to get rid of it. I reached out to a mechanic who advised that it could be welded back; however it would cost thousands of dollars to have that done. I contacted Toyota corporate to explain the situation and they advised me that there was nothing they could do to assist me with this issue. This truck had been well maintained and it ran perfectly with 280,000 miles. My goal was to run it to 400,000 miles as Toyota trucks tend to have a high mileage longevity when serviced as required. New A/C was replaced within the last three years; brakes/rotors/belts were replaced within the last 18 months. This truck was well maintained. Since this was my work truck I needed a vehicle ASAP and ended up purchasing a new 2024 Toyota Tundra which was an expense that I hadn't been expecting at all. I opted for the extended warranty option that was an EXTRA $3,000.00 to protect me and the new truck going forward. Toyota should be responsible for some of these additional expenses as it was TOYOTA who advised me during the RECALL that the frame was fine and DID NOT need to be replaced. Obviously that was not correct and they should be held responsible for the negative and very expensive outcome that this caused.

ENGINE
My truck has a build date of January 17, 2023. I have not received a recall notice despite it being included in the date range for replacement. The dealership told me the engine was produced from another plant that did not have the debris problem. I am only aware of this engine being produced at the Huntsville, AL engine plant. I believe my engine should be included in this recall.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
June 14-15, 24 I was driving down the road when all of a sudden it felt like I hit something hard with the passenger front side of my truck. I knew there was nothing anywhere in the road other than potholes, so I was very shocked and worried of what it was. The truck jerked hard and slammed my head into the driver side window post almost knocking me out. It took all I had to keep from wrecking and hitting someone head on. Upon inspection, I saw that the frame had completely rusted through on the passenger side. I had a mechanic, body shop and several very experienced people look at it and have spoken with my insurance company and sent photos, but all are saying this is a serious life threatening Toyota issue where there were recalls and class action suits and they should be held accountable because they know there is a problem. Carfax didn’t show any issues and there were no apparent issues that stood out when I purchased the truck in Oct 2023. I still owe a lot on it and can’t drive it due to this issue. My mom spoke with a lady at Toyota who agreed that this never should’ve happened and that they would work with us to remedy the problem. Then she was transferred to another dept and then another dept and eventually told that Toyota has no open campaigns, the vehicle is out of warranty due to age and miles. No pictures were asked for even though they were offered as this is a serious safety problem that they know about. I was unaware at the time of purchase of this serous problem, but now that I’ve done a lot of research, I see that many have had similar incidents and luckily lived to write about it. Will the next one be so lucky? All I want is for Toyota to repair the vehicle. Toyota did tell my mom that a recall in 2016 had a rust plate/guard placed on the truck. It failed to work! Toyota needs to be held accountable for the many who are still having these issues. They are a large co.whi can afford to assist us who are struggling due to their sorry products.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I have a 2022 Tundra that I purchased new. My current mileage is 18,500 and although my truck is part of the engine replacement recall that is not what I am complaining about, what I am complaining about is my front passenger window got stuck halfway open/closed and it's been sitting at the dealership for 2 weeks with no parts available to fix it (the cable snapped and motor burned out). They did put me in a rental (tacoma) but they have no idea when the parts will be available to fix my window! This is my 4th Tundra and never had an issue like this with any of my others. I've already called Toyota and they have no idea when parts will be available either. They also said they have no parts to fix the temporary fuel line recall which has been out for almost 1 year.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Fuel gauge is showing full when the tank is half empty according to odometer. When the vehicle is parked even on a slight incline the fuel gauge resets to full no matter how empty the tank is. This is a known problem with these vehicle and I am worried about it running out of gas at high speeds. Thank you!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
While driving at various speeds (25mph or 65mph) I let off on the accelerator to either slow down or come to a stop, when accelerating again I get a check engine light and I have no power. I limp along for several minutes then all of a sudden the fuel pedal sensor that tells the ecu where the fuel pedal is at catches up and I’m able to continue on with my ride. This is a very dangerous situation to have happen because you are not expecting it and when it does happen it is very unnerving. I’ve spoken to various Toyota dealers and there seems to be a nonchalant attitude about it.

ENGINE
My 2022 tundra on the engine recall list had engine failure due to metal shavings in the oil in April 1st 2024. It had 63,000 miles on it so 3k outside of warranty. Toyota of Wichita Falls and Toyota corporate told me no know engine issues just bad luck. But according to the recall paper work Toyota knew and was investigating engine issue for over a year before mine blew up. The Toyota dealership and corporate lied about the issue. I was stranded 12hours from home with false information that cost me $35,000 on trade in value in order to get home.

SEATS
The seat protective plastic cover is broke with less than 30k miles and light use. It is a known issue but Toyota informed me when I took it in that they are on universal unavailability. They can’t tell me when the part will be back in stock and there are non in the USA. The airbag is also near this and there is concern that it could damage the airbag. Additionally the damaged plastic cuts the seat and is sharp
