The bed of the truck rots out around where it is bolted to the frame. It is a common problem with Toyotas. The bed could collapse down and possibly come off. If this happens on the road it could cause a sever accident. Also the frame on Toyotas rot . If it rots by spring hangers this can be carastrofic.toyota has issued a frame recall on this. I had mine undercoated in 2015 from an authorized Toyota dealer. I was told I had a life time warranty if done by Toyota . The frame is not rotting as well as the bed. I was told it isn't going to be warrantied. Toyota should stand behind they're products.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
We were recently advised our 2017 Tundra needs a new fuel pump because it is not getting enough compression. We were told the 2018 Toyota Tundra and many other vehicles made by Toyota have been recalled for this exact same issue we are having but there have not been enough complaints about the 2017. Well here’s a complaint. I have to pay for a fuel pump known to be bad by Toyota but since enough people haven’t complained about a problem they are aware of isn’t fair. Please put my complaint in so something might be done about this.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
There is fuel leaking from above the fuel tank. This is an immediate hazard in my book. The tank is half full at this point in time. I believe it is leaking from the fuel pressure switching valve. No warning lights are illuminated at this time. I will confirm that this weekend when I remove the fuel tank to inspect. I have a photo of the leak but it is too large to upload. I will gladly email it to you. I am an ASE certified technician.

SEATS, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I actually have too very serious issues with my new Tundra. 1) my seat is coming loose from floor of my truck every time I take a corner it feels like it's going to tip over and makes a loud clunk and it feels like the back of the seat is separating from the part where my rear end sits (aka my butt) 2) when it rains the water flows off of the hood and then I am assuming the fan that goes to radiator spits a blast of water right in my driver's side of windshield, this because the poor design of the grill on certain 22 Tundra Limited models. Very dangerous if you ask me or anybody else that has this problem which is quite a few people from what I have seen on 2022 Tundra Forums. Those are just 2 major issues of the many I have.

STEERING
Vehicle was driven 30 miles to work with no steering issues and parked in work parking lot. Upon returning to vehicle to return home when backing out of parking spot the front driver wheel would not turn almost causing me to back into parked car next to me. I looked under the front of the driver side tire, and noticed the outer tie rod was hanging down, and was causing the no steering issue. I called a tow truck, and had the vehicle taken to the Toyota dealer where vehicle was purchased new. I informed the dealer to be careful with the vehicle as the outer tie rod on driver side was broken and was not possible to drive. The Toyota dealer investigated the issue and found that the threads on bother inner and outer tie rods on both passenger and driver side was stripped. All outer and inner tie rods on the vehicle had to be replaced due to the threads being stripped on all 4 tie rods. My concern is this truck only has 86,000 miles on it, and if I had been travelling on interstate at 70MPH and the tie rod broke it would have resulted in a catastrophic collision due to a no steering condition. This vehicle has never sustained any front end damage of any type. I can provide the dealers name and the notes on the repair bill from the Toyota dealership stating exactly what I have stated in this report.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
Merging into a highway vehicle lost power. Wouldn’t accelerate above 50 mph. Had multiple warning come on the dash, power lost, hybrid system failure, park daisy failure. Turned my hazards on a proceeded to safety. Definitely nerve racking, wouldn’t want this to happen when merging lanes in fast moving heavily traffic road. Accident waiting to happen. Toyota is completely silent about it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
As I am driving down the pickup loses power/ has no power. Was driving down the interstate and trying to make it up the Harbor bridge I could only go 40. Then try to pass a semi that (BAD DRIVER) was dangerously close, I could not even pass him. Not to mention people were angry at me and getting defensive. There were no warning lights, I took it in immediately. It has been inspected by my secondary warranty I purchased. ( Tripple Diamond 1-833-909-0015 or 1-844-526-0415 our policy # is [XXX] under [XXX] -So I take it to the Toyota Dealership in Corpus Christi Texas, They then tell me it is my Secondary air pump (both Sides) and Valves including Gasket, Air Tube, Pump Assembly, air, (2 both sides)/inlet, Air pump(1) and valve set, emission (1) That was on 12-16-2022 (it has been there since) this will cost me $3,205.38 out of pocket. But the real problem is that there is a long waiting list of people waiting for this same part, so no one can get it. Many people with the same problem last I called I was 44 people in line. I only have 75,000 miles on my truck, and still have the same tires That are in great shape (I rotate them) So for this to happen seems strange, I take special care of this truck.

Frame perforation , front passenger side , bottom part of frame in critical point where weld is , in close distance from rack and pinion . At the dealer while servicing have asked to check the frame as there ben lots of concern from Tundra owners. I'm aware that early models have had frames replaced , perforation was found 7'' long by 3'' wide , vehicle was deemed NOT SAFE TO OPERATE . There is no action from Toyota on 2009's . Have called the Toyota brand rep to confirm and found that there is no action taken at this moment .There was no warning signs on dash as this is not part to be electronically monitored .This vehicle is well maintained and in its prime shape .Regularly washed with frame/chassis inhibitors (RASTEX) .Has only 146 K , for this model considering not broken in yet . I'm its original owner. Just spend a significant amount of $$$ on service and additional equipment, was looking for another 5 years +++ of use . Just purchased RAV 4 and COROLLA S hatchback for family members .TOYOTA is not offering to help at no coast . I know that if my track will reach 15 year mark there will be nothing to be concerned by Toyota .Fix is estimated parts and labor over $10 K , I do not have this kind of money at this time as just purchased 2 BN Toyota's . Please help !!!!! , thank You

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
At irregular intervals and at the most random of times my headlights will cut out (including dash lights & radio). It happened this morning driving to the airport but it has been months since it last happened. The road was smooth with no bumps that I recall. This has happened to me in the past while stopped at a stop sign as well.
