SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
When proceeding ahead from a stop with no one in front of me, after traveling ahead at a normal pace, the emergency braking system activated and the truck came to an abrupt stop. This occurred after traveling about 5 feet and luckily the person behind me did not rear end me. After this panic stop the truck then proceeded ahead as normal. This is the first time this has happened to me since purchased new. Currently has 3870 miles.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Vehicle sometimes fails to accelerate when the accelerator is depressed. When this occurs, the vehicle moves forward slightly but then stalls while the engine is still running with no warning lamps or messages displaying. On several occasions this has caused me to enter into traffic (usually from an intersection or parking lot) and then discover the vehicle has stalled and won't accelerate. Removing my foot from the accelerator and then reapplying accelerator pressure usually corrects the issue but creates a dangerous situation and increases the chance for collision. The issue was first noticed on my vehicle about 2 months into ownership and has been reported several times to Vandergriff Toyota, Arlington, Texas. No resolution has been offered as the dealership can't identify or replicate the problem. T-SB-0111-22 was issued in December of 2022 and supposedly addressed this issue, but the problem continued after this work was performed on my truck. This issue is also well documented on the 2022 -2023 Tundra Forums with many owners still experiencing this problem. My vehicle is available for inspection.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I was in the right lane on the 15 southbound from mesquite heading towards Las Vegas. Got into the passing lane to pass a semi and all power was lost after cutting over. I had to immediately cut over back to the right lane after passing the semi and pull over to the shoulder. This was a very dangerous situation and I have heard of others with the same vehicle going through the same thing. I do have video evidence of the situation as well. I will contact Toyota tomorrow

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Twice it has felt like I was being rear ended. Something is making a slamming motion on the truck when it is stopped. First time was at a stop light, second time was backing up but stopped to put the truck in "drive". I have tried looking up to see if this truck was affected in a 2022 recall but the information is unavailable.

POWER TRAIN
Greetings all, This is not my vehicle. It is the vehicle that came to a sudden stop on the [XXX] and I hit. The driver apologized and told me his wife was fiddling with the drive shift lever and accidentally pressed the Park button. Indeed, the 2023 Toyota Tundra driver had been stepping on the brakes (lights on the outside of the flip gate) and switching to reverse (small white lights towards the middle of the bumper) the times I found myself behind it (I had managed to move to the right lane to avoid it a few miles earlier). How does an automatic transmission switch from Drive to Reverse and Park while the vehicle is moving (yes, by then we were going slowly because the driver kept stepping on the brake)? This model does not have mechanical interlocks in the shift lever. It counts on electronic controls. Could it be a burned element in a circuit board? Could it be a defective control card? or a design/programming flaw? Could it have the same parking brake problem that resulted in the recent recall of 870 thousand 2021-2023 Ford F-150s? Could it be something else? Please consider requiring mechanical interlocks for shift levers. Electronics are too sensitive to temperature and humidity and controller failures may become more frequent. Thank you.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE:BODY
It has been over 5 months since receiving the recall notice of the 2023 tundra tonneau cover (23TA03). Dealer asked me to wait for a toyota fix multiple times and then did not respond to further requests for answers solutions or a refund for the part that I did not want. Additionally the bed rails had defects and rust that accumulated inside of the rails and is all over my bed liner indicating potential future rusting issues on the best of the truck. I bought it in December of 2022. Rust was apparent after 3 Months. No reply via phone or email or social media from. Toyota. No solutions yet or refunds issued for an obviously defective and dangerous product. Simply fix is refund for tonneau cover and new bed rails.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I fueled my vehicle and once I started my car my fuel gauge remained the same, as if I never put full. I turned off the my vehicle and stared it again. The fuel level still did not change. I went to another pump to see if there was actual fuel from the other pump that went into the vehicle. The other pump stopped right away, signaling I had a full tank. I drove around for 15 minutes but no change to the fuel gauge. I parked the vehicle at home and planned to take it into the dealership the following day, but my fuel gauge corrected it self later displaying a full tank. I’ve seen in the forums this has been a problem. There was no warning lights or CELs upon this problem.

SEATS
The driver side front seat side shield panel cracked two months after vehicle was purchased new. It was replaced under warranty at the Toyota dealership. It cracked again three months later and was replaced again by the Toyota dealership. About 3-4 months later, it cracked again and was replaced by the Toyota dealership. This was on 04-21-23. On June 29, 2023, it cracked again for the fourth time. Dealership so far has not agreed to replace it under warranty and we are pursuing warranty claim with Toyota headquarters. I have owned 5 Toyota trucks and never have had this problem. When the front seat side shield panel cracks, it is a plastic part inside that is breaking. It is probably occurring when entering and exiting the vehicle possibly sliding across the side edge of the seat. There are several of the same problems with the seat posted on the internet for this truck. This is a design flaw and needs to be corrected by Toyota. It creates a safety hazard as you cannot operate the seat properly when it is broken.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
The car auto adaptive cruise control does not use the transmission for downhill breaking. It just rides the brakes coming down now. The car started shaking from overheating the brakes and I said realizing that it just not working in tune with the transmission. This is very dangerous. I have to turn off the cruise control and he manually downshift so break system of start working again. It was shaking so violently wouldn't stop.

Driving down interstate at approximately 75 mph when I heard a loud explosion similar to a gun shot. The sun shade began shaking in my head liner. Once I regained my composure I was able to stop on the side of the interstate and inspect the roof from the outside. The whole middle section of the sunroof has exploded upwards and out of my vehicle.

SERVICE BRAKES
My vehicle since purchase has had squeaking brakes and the vehicle only has 4500 miles. At the dealership( Wesley Chapel Toyota) today I was told this was a known issue and that its a material issue that is still being addressed by Toyota , yet when I call Toyota directly they have no understanding that any recall is in place and opened a case ( [XXX] ) but also suggested let the NHTSA know. Breaks are critical and don't understand why this is not being addressed in a more expedient manner ; why wait until someone is seriously hurt.

My vehicle was parked next to a fire hydrant and when i returned to the vehicle none of the warning cameras or alerts was able to pick up the object. There seems to be a glitch when the vehicle is turned completely off and then restarted with a small object in the blind spot.

ENGINE
I have a 2023 Tundra 1794. From a stop there is a noticeable delay sometimes from the time I press the gas pedal to the time the truck actually starts moving. This has caused me to almost get into two serious accidents because the truck would not go.
