2023 Toyota Tundra

My radiator leaked engine coolant fluid while driving. The fan shroud warped from heat and rubbed against the radiator and punctured a hole in the radiator causing a slow leak. My vehicle became inoperable and had to pull over. It's been confirmed by the dealership and has a report No warnings prior to failure, though the leak look to have been a slow leak that was in the engine bay and on driveway just faintly so it had been an issue that had been progressing over time. The warnings first appeared for high temp when the coolant was totally out and mentioned the vehicle was overheating and to pull over.

On XXX my 2023 Toyota Tundra Limited’s check engine light came on and after consulting with my service center, Jones Toyota in Bel Air, MD, via phone I brought the truck into Jones to be assessed. Jones diagnosed the problem and determined a physical failure of the passenger-side turbocharger. The vehicle is currently disabled and located at Jones Toyota in Bel Air, MD, undergoing service for the turbo failure. My vehicle is also subject to active safety Recall Campaign 25TA14 for manufacturing debris in the V35A engine block, but the dealership and manufacturer are treating the turbo failure as a separate repair item and have not linked it to the recall in writing. Operating a twin-turbo V6 platform experiencing sudden propulsion and turbo loss—while an open, un-remedied main bearing engine recall remains pending on the same vehicle—presents a severe underlying safety and mechanical failure pattern putting anyone in the vehicle or on the road with the vehicle when its being operated at risk

-Our Toyota Tundra Hybrid suffered total catastrophic engine failure due to metal shavings found throughout the engine and oil system. This is the same issue that prompted NHTSA ID Number: 25V767000 recall of Toyota's V35A engines. The tundra is available for inspection. -Statement regarding safety put at risk by my husband: I felt a vibration from the engine compartment (seeming to come from the front right side) and then I suddenly lost complete power. I was traveling in the number one lane (the fast lane). I immediately put my hazards on and had to navigate to the number two lane and then over to the narrow shoulder under no power whatsoever. I had to navigate around multiple semi-trucks. This was a very dangerous situation and I barely got it over to the shoulder. If my teenage daughters were driving this car they likely wouldn't have been able to safely navigate it across two lanes with no power in the setting of multiple semi-trucks on a two-lane divided highway. Again, a very dangerous situation. I shut down the engine and waited five minutes and restarted it. Shifting into gear the warning indicator said 'hybrid system disconnected'. -The total catastrophic engine failure has been confirmed by the Toyota Dealership. Th4ey Confirmed multiple shavings of metal in the entire oil system and the engine has seized. He said that the engine needed to be replaced. -The tundra has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance (yet) or others besides the Toyota dealership. -There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptom of the pending catastrophic total engine failure.

My wife and I purchased a brand new Tundra LTD in May 2023. An important note to keep in mind is that my wife and I not only purchased the new Tundra but also a new travel trailer so we could enjoy our nation's national parks during our retirement years. I will relate that to my complaint shortly. It wasn't long after our purchase that we became aware of the issue of machining debris possibly contaminating the engine block which can result in sudden engine failure. Right now, because Toyota has not resolved our issue and communication has generally been close to non-existent. We no longer feel we can safely take our truck and trailer to the remote national parks of the American southwest where distances are huge and help few and far between. We have visited the SW twice and want to do more while we are still young enough to do so but are worried about what a sudden breakdown would do. I called up Toyota and asked them to repurchase the Tundra so I could buy a new onw without the issue. I explained that I paid for the Truck in good faith but that they have not kept up the end of the bargain, the truck Toyota sold us is potentially unsafe and we'd like it fixed or repurchases which would allow us to buy a new truck. They closed out my official inquiry without comment or communication of any kind. Apparenty, they are just fine with consumers being sold a truck that may suddenly die on them. Anyway you folks can get Toyota to fairly take care of its customers?

As many have spoken about already, I have the hesitation or lag from stop or rolling at very slow speeds. I kind of learned to live with it but feel it's getting worse. My wife had to drive the truck, and she said it was very scary and did not feel safe. I know it is not the engine as I had it replaced and problem is still very much there! There have been so many issues with this truck. Brakes have never stopped squeaking; one dealership guy told me it is the cheap pads Toyota put on them.

was waiting for the traffic light to turn green. Vehicle in drive with foot on brake. the traffic light turned green, I took my foot off the brakes and pushed on the accelerator. Nothin happened. I saw another vehicle approaching at a high rate of speed behind me so I continued to mash on the accelerator. right before being hit by the car behind me my vehicle lurched forward a few feet then stopped again. I looked at the dash display and saw a "Hybrid System Malfunction" warning. Because of the traffic situation/location it was not safe to just sit in the road so I continued to pump on the accelerator. each pumped moved the vehicle forward a couple of feet. I did not turn of the engine because I was unsure what would happen so I continued to do that for about a mile or so until I could get to a safe place to pull over. during this time, I almost got rear-ended and side-swiped several times. Once stopped I attempted to start the vehicle several times and got the "Hybrid System Malfunction" display and the vehicle would not start. I waited for about an hour with the vehicle off and restarted the engine. I stayed off the freeway and took backroads to the closest dealer service center where it is currently located. When I dropped it off the service rep said he hasn't seen anything like this. Prior to this incident I had no issues with the truck and it was last serviced by the dealership on March 4, 2026.

Over the past several months my truck 2023 toyota tundra has randomly died, completely shut off and sputtered to a stop. After these instances occurred the vehicle has had trouble to re-start. As a result I took my truck into the local dealership in Topeka KS, Lewis toyota, which did not complete any of the recall work, they said that the inicident could not be duplicated. For follow up, I took my vehicle to crown toyota where its currently receiving body repair from an unrelated traffic accident. I have given the service manager Ryan Wingert the total background of what has happened verbally several times, outlining the vehicle randomly just shutting down and not being able to re-start until several minutes has past and computer reset occurs. I feel that the vehicle is un safe to drive and toyota is not honoring any proactive follow up with my claim, stating that the dealerships have not been trained on the procedures to perform the work or the repair and pointing toward toyota corporate offices for a fix. I'm exaughsted from the endless loop and I want to ensure I receive a safe and reliable vehicle back from toyota. To date, the dealership has had my truck in there possession over two months with no resolution. The type of customer service and lack of follow up on critical safety items I feel puts our roadways at further risk of continual accidents due to toyotas lack of engagement and follow up. I take full advantage of the freedoms we enjoy every day, being a service disabled Air Force Veteran of over 20 years of service, I take great pride in the active checks and balances holding us all accountable. I appreciate your efforts and follow up regarding my claim. Dont hesitate to email me or follow up by phone. [XXX] - [XXX], thank you!

Gas pedal hesitation at a rolling stop. There is a delay in acceleration during occasional rolling stops at locations such as yield signs and unmarked intersections on the roadway. When this happens the driver may depress the accelerator more than should be necessary causing tire spin and traction control integration. The traction control drastically reduces speed and limits acceleration which is a detriment to any oncoming traffic and everone else on the road. Many owners acknowledge this issue on social media. No warning lights. Toyota has a service bullitin out for this as of May 2026, but has limited vin numbers they will update for free. My truck has been an issue since purchased new in March 2023. It can be an intermittent issue and the dealer can't seam to duplicate it on inspection. Since they couldn't duplicate it the first time i complained about it, they want to charge for diagnosis. Toyota will not update the transmission module because my vin number isn't included and they can't duplicate it. This is a safety issue and all vin numbers should get the software update in my opinion. TSB0032-26 is toyotas service bulitin. Toyota told me they would only do it if it was a safety recall.

When slowing down to make a turn and then accelerating again the vehicle is not in correct gear to take off, it revs the engine but doesn’t move like it should. When this happens if you put shifter in manual mode and downshift it acts as it should. There is a TSB that fixes this problem but i think it needs to be a recall due to turning left in traffic and not being able to accelerate can cause wreck TSB-0032-26,

While driving the vehicle on a public roadway at approximately 70mph, the vehicle suffered a sudden and catastrophic powertrain failure without timely warning. The check engine light illuminated, the physical engine oil pressure gauge dropped to absolute zero, and the dashboard immediately flashed a critical "Hybrid System Malfunction" warning. > This mechanical and electrical failure triggered an instantaneous, total loss of motor power while traveling live lane with traffic behind me. The vehicle immediately stalled and became a completely inoperable, unresponsive rolling hazard. The vehicle failed to restart and left me stranded on a narrow shoulder which was very hazardous as traffic coming at high speeds could have easily rear ended me. The vehicle required a flatbed tow to an authorized Toyota dealership, and after submitting a case with corporate hoping for a trade assist(as my wife no longer feels safe in this chassis), I have been told it will take up to 45 days to process this request. I made a significant investment in this vehicle in January of 2023 and have since methodically kept up with maintenance, with hopes this vehicle would last me 10+ years. I find it highly inexcusable for Toyota to not consider speedily helping a loyal customer in this situation and making it right in a timely manner. I am now being offered a vehicle the same as mine of the current year and with me having to put over 22K in equity to close the gap. I should not be left on the hook for something that put my safety at risk and now has left me without the ability to travel as my family has lost their main method of transportation. Manufacturing defects should not come at the customers expense.
