This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
While driving my Tundra, I heard a bumping and scraping sound beneath the truck. Upon further examination, the front Fuel Tank strap had corroded and broken into 2 pieces leaving only the rear fuel tank strap to retain the fuel tank.
I bought this truck new. It has 70,000 miles. The bed and bumpers have extensive rust holes, completely through. Last year, the gas tank fell out while driving due to rusted through fuel tank straps. Now, the rear axle has started leaking due to a rusted out rear axle housing.I am a 64 yr old vet and afraid to drive the truck. If I fill up the rear axle it will get on the road and tires I have called and emailed Toyota and they told me to fix it at my expense.
Toyota refused to honor a known issue, cause the tsb expired in March 2020. With the admission of a known problem they should honor and fix the problem tsb 01-60-11, air injection pump
The gas gauge is no longer giving accurate readings of how much gas is in the gas tank. The gas was at 1/4 of a tank and while I was driving it it completely died on me. When I tried to start it it wouldn't turn over the aaa guy said it sounded like the fuel pump might have gone out. I took it to my mechanic who said he just fixed the same problem but on a Toyota sequoia which it ended up being the gas gauge not reading how much gas is actually in the tank. After inspection of my truck he said that the gas gauge was bad and needed to be replaced and it was the same issue the Toyota sequoia had that he fixed. My truck is only 5 years old and only has 70,000 miles on it, it shouldn't be giving me these problems already.
