Tl* the contact owns a 2017 Toyota tundra. The contact stated that rodents damaged the electrical system in the vehicle by eating the soy-based wires.

My 2017 Toyota tundra 1794 crewmax, during winter months in south carolina - the headlights, tail lights and internal instrumentation will turn off when turning left or right with turn signal engaged. This only happens with the lights in the auto position and not in the manual position and the issue occurs at night intermittently while the vehicle is in motion!! Sometimes the lights just flicker and sometimes they go off and stay off. I have almost ran off the road twice when this has happened. It happens more frequently with cooler temperatures. I have had this issue for over a year now trying to get Toyota to fix it. This is a known issue that Toyota doesnt want to fix unless they can duplicate this issue in the shop, in which they usually cant. There are many people online complaining o

Automatic headlights shut off when turn signal is used. It happens intermittently, but frequently. I have had this happen multiple time at speeds ranging from 10 MPH to 80 MPH but it only seems to happen when the automatic headlights are on and the turn signal is activated.

Tl* the contact's parents purchased a 2018 Toyota tundra (na). While driving approximately 30 MPH, a vehicle suddenly cut in front of the driver and caused a chain reaction of sudden stops with several vehicles. The driver rear ended the preceding vehicle. The air bags and Toyota safety sense system failed to activate. The safety sense feature was supposed to stop the vehicle automatically due to objects (vehicle) being in close proximity at a fast rate. The front end of the vehicle had severe damage and was towed. The contact was unsure if a police report was filed. The driver received injuries to the neck and arm area, which required medical attention. The contact was not aware if the vehicle was totaled or able to be repaired. The contact was unaware if the dealer was informed. The manu

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 Toyota tundra. The contact stated that the exterior and interior turn signals failed to illuminate when the turn signal switch was activated. The contact stated that the same failure occurred with the windshield wipers when the wiper switch was activated. The failures recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to bert ogden Toyota (located at 8721 w expy 83, harlingen, tx 78552, (956) 622-4384), but the failures could not be duplicated. The vehicle was also taken to spartan Toyota (located at 5701 s pennsylvania ave, lansing, mi 48911, (517) 394-6000), but they could not duplicate the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and opened case number: 1808292570. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.

Right headlight leveling motor failed causing headlight to point at the ground. I now have limited night time visibility on a 13,000 mi. vehicle. Toyota does not offer a replacement part nor do aftermarket sellers. A Youtube video of one of these dismantled motors shows a cheapest of the cheap device. Auto manufacturers should not be allowed to use cheaply made items to point headlights! Dealer refused warranty and wants $500+ for a new headlight that will last 13,000 mi. When the left side fails, I will no longer be able to drive at night. This is beyond absurd that a manufacturer is allowed to use the cheapest parts possible on a safety device such as a headlight.

Flex Fuel Extended Crank when engine is cold. Have had into dealer multiple times and fix is temporary. Known issue with flex fuel Tundras that keeps returning

Cold starting problems so the dealer diagnosed as a defective fuel pump.

I purchased a CPO 2017 Tundra SR5 Double Cab. Within a month of ownership, the EVAP system failed due to a faulty charcoal canister. Truck didn't even have 60,000 miles on it. This was covered under warranty, but the local Toyota Dealer, tried to make me pay for it anyway.

Ordered and received 2017 Toyota tundra pickup truck with work package. Per Toyota, "work package" removes electronic options such as power seats, windows and locks. The problem here, is that there is no keyed cylinder lock installed on the passenger side door, therefore--removing the electronic door lock, also removes all means of entering the locked passenger side of this vehicle, except by unlocking the driver side door, and crawling over the seat to manually unlock the door from the inside. Toyota does not state lack of passenger door access in any of their published information concerning the "work truck package". I am very concerned about safety issues pertaining to this by eliminating all exterior access to the passenger side. In an emergency situation, for any reason the dri

The factory IBC is a safety issue. I would not tow anything over 1500lbs as the brake controller does not work. This controller is an accident waiting to happen. When set on gain 10 you can barely feel a tug from the trailer. You can't feel anything if you apply the vehicle brake pedal. On a gain of 10 it should lock up the trailer brakes, and it can't do that on a dirt road much less on asphalt. Toyota has not done anything to fix this issue AT ALL! Lots of truck owners out there that don't even know of this problem and alot of owners are forced to install aftermarket brake controllers on their dimensions. Toyota should be held to fixing this safety issue. Why isn't there a recall on these vehicles. It's a problem that multiple year tundras! I purchased this vehicle to tow a 16' travel tr

While backing out of a parking spot, this vehicle failed to stop when I placed my foot on the brakes causing the vehicle to hit another parked vehicle. When the police office commanded me to remove my vehicle and park it inside a parking spot, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle again, leading to another auto accident.

Integrated brake controller. Tsb t-sb-0231-17 and t-sb-0231-16 performed with negative results. Unable to perform set up of controller according to owners manual. Dealer submitted a drp awaiting Toyota corp. To investigate. Toyota corp. Has no other fix for this controller. Toyota corp. Said ibc works as designed. Ibc will not stop trailer safely.

Diagnostic report indicates problem with shift solenoid and it’s replaceable. Dealership instead charge me for full transmission replacement.

Toyota 3ur-fe 5.7l v8 engine camshaft tower seal is prone to premature failure, which leads to engine oil leaking on the hot exhaust manifold, which could cause potential fire/flash hazard.

The transmission solenoid D shows high voltage which sets my check engine light off. At first no difference would be noticed and it would randomly turn off and then back on randomly. After doing this on and off for the last few months, the transmission has randomly been getting stuck in 4th gear but will lower when slowing down. According to those who have had the same issue have found it to be fixed by replacing the S4 solenoid which seems to be producing way more voltage than it’s supposed to

When driving around at night and use the turn signal, the headlights will shut off and interior dash lights and radio lights will dim, as if it is day time. It typically happens in the mornings when it's cold out.

The spare tire detached from its mount under the vehicle while we were driving at highway speed on I-76 in ne colorado. The tire fell to the pavement and was struck by the travel trailer we were towing, blowing out a trailer tire and damaging the trailer. The spare tire was struck a few minutes later by another vehicle, causing failure to 2 tires on their vehicle and near loss of vehicle control. The people in the second vehicle confirmed it was our spare tire. At the time of this incident, our Toyota tundra was 10 months old, purchased in january 2017. The spare tire had never been used nor had it been lowered or removed from its factory-installed mounting device. It was fitted with a dealer-installed spare tire lock. The truck has not been in an accident or damaged in any way and has
