EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Headlights go out randomly usually when using turn signal. Because this happens at night all visibility is lost temporarily. This also confuses other drivers. I haven’t taken the vehicle to the dealer because the symptom is very sporadic and difficult to duplicate. Dealerships will not fix anything unless they can witness the issue. No warning lights or messages were displayed. This problem has been documented numerous times by many different owners on Toyota Tundra forums.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Gas Pump: Over the last few months, the vehicle has stalled twice, with the engine not functioning. Upon turning the ignition switch, the starter engages and the engine cranks, but it does not sustain operation. In both cases, the vehicle was able to start and run only after numerous attempts, exceeding 10 to 15, while consistently pressing the gas pedal.

ENGINE
When coming to a stop, then pressing on the gas, the truck does not move. Its a dead gas pedal for approximately 2-4 seconds and then the truck takes off. Say i am trying to turn right at a light, then go to press on the gas, there is hesitation from the truck. I have brought this issue several times since i got the truck, a TSB from toyota was performed but the problem consistently persists. It does not happen everytime when coming from a stop but it is noticeable. Its a safety concern due to possibly being hit on the side when trying to merge into traffic.

My Tundra has a build date of January, 2023. The Engine recall by Toyota included models up till February 13, 2023. I want to know specifically why my vehicle was not included in the recall even though it was built within the recall period.

I knew this was coming but I'm stunned by this notice and that NHTSA lets Toyota get away with this. Note the bolded warning in the attached notice. Sounds pretty serious and potentially catastrophic. I called the dealer on January 4th. I'm the third one to call into this dealership for this recall. They have no ETA on the replacement engine. So, I guess I should just continue to drive the truck and hope the engine doesn't seize while I'm going down the freeway? Wouldn't it make sense for NHTSA to direct Toyota to provide "us" with a loaner until the vehicle is repaired? Toyota and NHTSA may incur huge liability costs even if only one truck crashes because of this serious failure in workmanship. Every time I use the truck my "safety or the safety of others is put at risk." No kicking the can down the road NHTSA! Toyota screwed up BIG TIME! NHTSA needs to step up and protect consumers before something happens (again?).

THROTTLE LAG WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULITIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING THIS. I FEAR THAT IF THIS DOES NOT GET FIXED MY FAMILY AND I WILL BE SEVERLEY INJURED OR MAY END UP DEAD. I TOOK IT TO 2 TOYOTA DEALERS. ONE IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS AND ONE IN DEL RIO, TEXAS THEY BOTH SAID, "WE SEE NOTHING WRONG. AND TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT STARTS HAPPENING AGAIN." ALSO THEY STATED THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT SENT ANY RECALLS OUT FOR THIS SO THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP.

POWER TRAIN
At certain times when starting (pressing the accelerator pedal) from a total stop, or from when rolling very slowly, the tuck creeps forward but there is up to a two second delay in start of increase of engine revs and power being delivered. This is quite scary when pulling out into traffic. When the power comes on it tends to surge with rapid acceleration for a very short time. To be clear, no accident has occurred and there are no warning lights on the dash. However, I feel that this vehicle behavior creates a significant hazard worth highlighting. Once the vehicle starts moving, it goes back to normal operation within seconds. It’s not a consistent issue - it does not happen very frequently - but I’ve had it since the truck was new and it has 27k miles on it now. I have made several complaints to the maker and my dealer at every service, but they fail to replicate / recognize this issue after a number of tests drives. I went on a test drive with one dealer tech and when we replicated this issue I was told that ‘all trucks are like this’. There is a technical service bulletin fix for this, but the maker has refused to do it on my truck and others have reported that it did not resolve the issue on their trucks. From online forums, this seems to be a common issue on non-hybrid models. The truck transmission also tends to thud into drive when cold and the chances of the hesitation / surge issue occurring is higher just after a cold start (‘cold start’ being a relative term in South Texas). It most often occurs at the nearest stop sign just after I leave home, but does occur randomly at other times.

Accelerating from a stop sign when the vehicle stalled and hesitated to go for approximately 2 seconds. The vehicle eventually accelerated with no issues afterwards. Cross traffic was nearby and had to slow down so my vehicle could clear the highway.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
There is a hesitation when applying a gas pedal after a stop or rolling stop. This is a safety issue when trying to merge into traffic as the small delay in acceleration can cause an accident. The dealer stated that this is normal operation for the vehicle.

The safety issue I have is that my truck will display hesitation in moving forward or accelerating. I have been in a few intersections trying to turn left and when pressing on the gas pedal there is a delay in responding to the gas pedal being pushed. I’ve discussed this with the dealer and was informed that this is normal behavior. The dead pedal has me very concerned for my safety and the safety of others while driving my truck.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
When in start and stop traffic when the vehicle is at low speeds below 5 mile an hour. The transmission does not properly downshift. This causes a severe lag in acceleration when needed in traffic or in Intersections. This delay is a safety issue due to causing a lack of vehicle movement when needed. The vehicle will basically not accelerate for a couple seconds until it decides to downshift. This happens continuously at speeds below 5 mile an hour. If you don’t stop completely and pause for a second or two, the transmission will not downshift properly. In traffic, you cannot do this.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
While driving on the highway at approximately 65mph my sunroof spontaneously exploded. It was as loud as a gunshot and glass rained down into the cab as well as “exploded” upward and outward raining down behind my truck while driving. This startled me and all passengers. There were no vehicles ahead of us or in the oncoming lanes on the other side of the separated highway. No foreign debris was found in the truck and there was no other damage anywhere other than the obvious glass lying everywhere. I previously complained to the dealership during routine service that the sunroof made a rattling sound during light bumps. The routine service was completed and I was given the response of “our techs couldn’t reproduce the sound(s) so we can’t help with that today”. They assured me that I could leave the truck and they would look into it “when they could” but that I’d have to leave the truck in the lot and not be given a loaner vehicle.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
When stopped at a traffic light waiting to make a left turn, I accelerated to start the turn. The truck moved forward slightly and stopped. All throttle response was gone and I was not able to move from the intersection and oncoming traffic. About 4 seconds later the throttle response returned and it drove normally. I was almost hit by an oncoming car for being stopped in the road. This occurs frequently at stop signs when I stop and go to accelerate. It is dangerous to not know if the truck will respond or not while turning in traffic.
