2023 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

Throttle body stopped working car went in to limp Mode on high way randomly multiple times till it finally just gave out randomly again on highway. Could no longer drive had to drive at 5mph to nearest dealer

When from a stop vehicle does not accelerate as normal, especially while turning. Lag and hesitation is experienced for a moment and then catches causing a rapid acceleration. When turning across oncoming lanes of traffic the unexpected lag and lack of acceleration considerably increases risk of side collision from cross traffic and risk of rear collision from traffic behind due to inability to know consistent time, speed, and acceleration needed to safely cross lanes of traffic and expected acceleration speed anticipated by vehicles from rear. Concern has been brought up to dealer and properly notified. Dealer was unable to replicate. No dash warnings appeared.

The engine of my 2023 Toyota Tundra failed at approximately 34,500 miles. The failure involved sudden loss of oil pressure and severe internal damage, with metal shavings found in the oil and oil filter. The oil filter itself detached during the incident and was later recovered with metallic debris inside. The vehicle and the recovered filter are available for inspection upon request. While accelerating from a stop light on a busy morning public road, the engine suddenly lost power, illuminated multiple warning lamps, and entered limp mode with “low oil pressure” and “engine malfunction” messages. The truck rapidly leaked oil, creating a roadway hazard and putting me, my wife & son, and other drivers at risk of accident. I was able to limp the vehicle home .5 miles from the incident at reduced speed, but complete engine seizure was a possibility. Toyota of Fort Walton Beach inspected the vehicle, confirmed metal shavings in the oil pan, documented codes P05202 and P052049 (low oil pressure and oil pressure sensor stuck in range), and noted “oil was very metallic.” The vehicle was inspected by Toyota dealership technicians and corporate representatives. I also have possession of the oil filter and photos/videos from the inspection. At the moment of failure, the dash displayed low oil pressure, check engine light, and a message regarding engine/electronic malfunction. Prior to this event, there were no warning signs — the truck had been serviced two weeks earlier at 33,360 miles, and I drove approximately 1,200 miles without incident until the catastrophic failure. This failure matches the description in Toyota Recall 24V-381. My vehicle’s build date (February 27, 2023) is less than two weeks outside the published recall production window, yet the symptoms and inspection results are identical. I respectfully request NHTSA investigate whether additional 2023 Toyota Tundra vehicles outside the current recall window are affected, as my case demonstrates the same hazards.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while cold-starting the vehicle, the vehicle was idling roughly. Additionally, while driving at various speeds, after removing the foot from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle vibrated abnormally. The contact stated that after depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated before responding as needed. There was no warning illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the computer system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was recently taken for an oil change, and the contact was informed by the dealer that the oil would not be changed because the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V381000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and was waiting to be completed. The contact was informed that another letter would be sent by the manufacturer when the vehicle could be repaired under recall. The contact had not yet received another letter from the manufacturer. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact related the failure to the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 17,400.

At 65,000 mile engine died. Just the same as the recall for this truck but mine wasn't in the recall. Since it was over 60,000 miles its not covered by Toyota. WE have a third party warranty we bought at the dealer that is saying we have to pay $7,000 out of pocket

No warning lights were illuminated. The turn signal were blinking quickly during the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact replaced the taillight independently.

The engine misfired and failed twice in one year, and the vehicle is currently available for inspection. Both times the engine failed, I was on the freeway, which nearly caused cars and semi-trucks to rear-end me. I had a convoy of vehicles behind me and had to move to the right lane very cautiously. I reported the problem to the AutoNation Toyota dealership on Gulf Freeway. Yes, the dealership mechanics have inspected it, and it has been at the dealership since August 5, 2025. There were warning lights on the dashboard when the engine failed.

You start with a half tank of gas or so. Then you park on an incline like a driveway. When starting the truck again the fuel tank shows full tank and more miles available till empty which is inaccurate. The gauge does not reset till you refill. Workarounds online do not work. This is a safety issue in mountain driving when you park you may miss how much gas you have left and can stall causing an accident or being stranded in a remote area. Toyota says they are aware but online reports show it has been a known issue since 2022. I feel this should be addressed before someone is hurt or stranded. This issue has occurred multiple times to me.
