Our 2017 Toyota Tundra has been having difficulty starting, takes multiple attempts before starting. We brought it to Toyota dealership and had a diagnostic done. They told us we need new fuel pump and the ECM software needs to be updated. There is a know problem with Denso fuel pump system along with class action lawsuit. We were told that our vehicle is not included in that lawsuit. We were also told by Toyota dealership that the fuel pump is on back order and they are not sure when it will arrive. They said it could take months. With this fuel pump issue our safety is at risk because our vehicle could lose power at any time. There were no warning lights to alert us to this issue.
https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10170730-9999.pdf It is this issue. I just bought my truck at 83000 miles and toyota would not fix it since it is 3000 miles over the emission warranty.
We were recently advised our 2017 Tundra needs a new fuel pump because it is not getting enough compression. We were told the 2018 Toyota Tundra and many other vehicles made by Toyota have been recalled for this exact same issue we are having but there have not been enough complaints about the 2017. Well here-??s a complaint. I have to pay for a fuel pump known to be bad by Toyota but since enough people haven-??t complained about a problem they are aware of isn-??t fair. Please put my complaint in so something might be done about this.
Fuel Pump failed. Vehicle is currently at dealership awaiting 2+ week repair. Currently available to inspect. Failure began while driving. Caused misfire in cylinder 1, caused electrical fault that disabled traction control. Potential to leave the vehicle inoperable on the roadside poses a safety risk. Toyota dealership in possession states "START WITH FUEL PUMP, REPORGRAM ECM PER TSB AND RELEARN FUEL DENSITY FOR ALCOHOL CONTENT FLEX FUEL VEHICLE, OUT OF WARRANTY FOR TSB" Toyota dealership is the only entity to perform any inspection. There were no warning lamps or messages related to the fuel system. Check engine light and message stating "Traction Control Off" appeared while driving the vehicle. After limping the vehicle home, the vehicle would not start.
I believe my Tundra has an emissions problem that Toyota will not cover. The FUEL TANK ROLL OVER VALVE is stuck. I believe this is a hazards condition. Toyota say the fuel tank will have to be replaced and not under warranty. Truck was purchased new by me and has 38887 miles.

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.
My truck won't start and the symptoms directly match the recall already in place for the following year. Vehicle eventually started but spewed out allot of unburned fuel out of exhaust pipe.
Purchased truck new in November 2016..about a year later starting having rough starts and having to crank truck several times at cold start. Massive recalls for ECM and fuel pump however 17S not included...also recently had front drivers side turn signal/running light replaced and still didnt work. Have read about this problem also. Local Toyota dealership unable to fix either problem
This happened 4 times today the vehicle would stay at 1000 RPM while driving with no acceleration possible, it was as if the gas pedal was disconnected, tried to cross busy intersection, but could only coast threw. Also no warning codes available. Later the vehicle would not shift or accelerate it was going 40 mph at 2000 RPM. The truck has 34500 miles on it. Toyota says no issues of this kind reported and I'm one month out of warranty. I feel this is very dangerous, trying to cross busy intersection, when you can not accelerate I'm gonna get killed.
Fuel tank is suppose to be 37 gallon. I have never put more than 28.5 gallons in the tank. Even when I run the tank to the red light or my mileage indicator show 20 or less miles remaining. I have ask the dealership twice about this and they claim is a safety feature so you don't run out of fuel. I run the tank down to 10 miles left in tank and that is when I put 28.5 gallons into it.
