2020 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

Vehicle stalled and lost power at approximately 45 mph. Warning lights activated and "Not ready to drive" message was displayed. Vehicle has had 3 other similar episodes all resulting in the vehicle losing power at high speed. Vehicle was towed to local Toyota service dept. where they said it generated a code for rough idling - low fuel. They did no repairs and offered no explanation. Three miles from the dealership the Tundra died in traffic. The safety of my family was certainly at stake and had my wife been driving the vehicle she likely couldn't have steered the vehicle to safety. These are not low speed failures, but rather high speeds.

Breaks and rotors and caliber broke 2 times and the car is brand new, it cost me over 2400. Bought the truck with 0miles- have all paper work.

The contact owns a 2020 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number 21V688000 (Exterior Lighting, Electric System) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts are not available.

I bought a 2020 Tundra in mid year of 2020. By December 2020 I started to notice a strong vibration in the steering and from the front end between the low speeds of 20-30 mph and between 60-70 mph. The hotter the vehicle gets the more vibration occurs. Now my alignment seems off and curves to the left when trying to drive straight. I have taken it in to Alamo Toyota and Red McCombs in San Antonio on many occasions with similar problems but all they are doing is balancing and rotation of tires. I have sent the dealership videos of the vibration but they indicate it’s normal. This certainly does not appear normal and is now more of a safety issue. Not sure what else to do!

I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP MAKING A RIGHT TURN IN A NORMAL MANNER TO KEEP SAFELY IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I HAD NO POWER ALTHOUGH I KEPT PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR. MULTIPLE LIGHTS FLASHED ON THE DASH. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AFTER I STOPPED, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH HAD GONE OUT BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. IT RESPONDED NORMALLY AFTER THAT. DEALERSHIP SAID A COMMUNICATION CODE SHOWED BUT WAS NOT RELATED TO MY ISSUE. I HAD THREE OTHER "LOSS OF POWER INCIDENTS" SINCE ALL AT LOW SPEED, EITHER STARTING FROM A STOP OR ATTEMPTING ACCELERATION AFTER A TURN. THE YELLOW TRIANGLE FLASHED THOSE TIMES BUT TRAFFIC DID NOT ALLOW ME TO KEEP PUSHING ON ACCELERATOR. AFTER A SHORT COAST POWER RETURNED. DEALERSHIP REPORTED NO CODE. EXPERIENCE SIMILAR TO DESCRIPTION OF BEHAVIOR OF VEHICLES IN TOYOTA FUEL PUMP RECALL. I BELIEVE IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TELL ME I MUST DRIVE IT UNTIL IT "FAILS" AND SHOWS A CODE. SAFETY ISSUE, ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW TUNDRA AND FROM THE MINUTE WE DROVE HOME THERE SEEMED TO BE A BOUNCE OR VIBRATION LIKE RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS IN THE FRONT END. WE THEN NOTICED THE BED WAS MOUNTED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE BY ABOUT A HALF AN INCH WHICH TO ME TELLS THEY DIDN'T DO A VERY GOOD FINAL CHECK BEFORE IT LEFT THE FACTORY. WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TRIED FOUR DIFFERENT TIRES AND THE MECHANIC STATED IT ACTUALLY MADE THE VIBRATION WORSE. EACH OF THREE TIMES IT WAS IN THE SHOP THAT THEY TRIED TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION THEY RE ALIGNED THE TRUCK. I WONDERED WHY EACH TIME WITHOUT MUCH DRIVING AND NO OFF ROAD DIVING IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT THREE TIMES WITHIN ONE OR TWO MONTHS. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC I HAD A CASUAL CONVERSATION WITH SAID IF THEY DON'T FIND AND FIX THE ACTUAL MECHANICAL PROBLEM SUCH AS A BAD CV JOINT IT WILL GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT AS SOON AS YOU DRIVE OUT OF THE SHOP. THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT MAKES IT VERY SCARY TO DRIVE IS THE TRUCK WANDERS OR FLOATS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING OR BRAKING AND AT TIMES WHEN BRAKING THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS RIGHT SEVERELY BY ITSELF WHILE THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO TRAVEL STRAIGHT. THE MORE YOU DRIVE AND THE WARMER EVERYTHING GETS THE WORSE IT GETS. IT WILL EVEN DRIFT RIGHT FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD PROVING IT IS NOT DUE TO THE CROWN OF THE ROAD. IT WILL TRAVEL COMPLETELY RIGHT FROM THE FARTHEST POINT LEFT. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED HE FELT WHAT WE WERE DESCRIBING BUT THAT IT MIGHT BE A CHARACTERISTIC OF THAT TRUCK AND WANTED SPECIALISTS FROM TOYOTA TO COME TO THE SHOP TO TRY TO LOCATE THE EXACT CAUSE RATHER THAN THROWING PARTS AT IT AND NEVER LOCATING THE ACTUAL PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAS NOT OFFERED ANY ASSISTANCE TO HIM OR US AS OF YET. WE CAN NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK WITHOUT FEELING WE ARE IN DANGER. WE OWNED A 2015 TUNDRA PRIOR THAT HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. UPON RESEARCHING WE ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THESE EXACT ISSUES.

WHEN WEATHER GETS WARM (100F+), IT WILL OFTEN TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO START THE CAR. IT CRANKS OVER, BUT WON'T CATCH. WHEN WEATHER GETS TO 110F, IT WOULD FAIL TO START AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN, THEN PARKED. WAIT 90 MINUTES, AND IT WOULD STARTS AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE WHEN WEATHER IS 110F+, IT IS VERY VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK (THEY ARE USUALLY SUPER BUSY ON A HOT DAY) OR WAIT 90 MINUTES PLUS IN 110F+ WEATHER. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO FIX IT, AS THEY SAY THEY NEED TO WAIT FOR A 110F+ DAY TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE,
