2023 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

Recall number 25V-767 engine may stall during driving. I was told by my local Tempe Toyota dealership that my engine was going to be replaced and they would contact me when my line number came up. Now I learned that Toyota can't keep up with the demand so they are going to scan vehicles to see if there is any damage. My vehicle only has 20,000 miles on it so how can a scan determine that the engine will not fail at 60K. That's like telling someone that needs a heart transplant that there heart is beating good today so they don't get the transplant. Do people need to die to make Toyota liable. Toyota knew these vehicles were bad but they were allowed to continue to sell them year after year. It is a fact the #1 main bearing is defective. I don't feel comfortable putting my family in a vehicle that can seize up while going at a high speed. NHTSA it is your job to hold vehicle manufacturers to a high safety standard.

Over the past several months my truck 2023 toyota tundra has randomly died, completely shut off and sputtered to a stop. After these instances occurred the vehicle has had trouble to re-start. As a result I took my truck into the local dealership in Topeka KS, Lewis toyota, which did not complete any of the recall work, they said that the inicident could not be duplicated. For follow up, I took my vehicle to crown toyota where its currently receiving body repair from an unrelated traffic accident. I have given the service manager Ryan Wingert the total background of what has happened verbally several times, outlining the vehicle randomly just shutting down and not being able to re-start until several minutes has past and computer reset occurs. I feel that the vehicle is un safe to drive and toyota is not honoring any proactive follow up with my claim, stating that the dealerships have not been trained on the procedures to perform the work or the repair and pointing toward toyota corporate offices for a fix. I'm exaughsted from the endless loop and I want to ensure I receive a safe and reliable vehicle back from toyota. To date, the dealership has had my truck in there possession over two months with no resolution. The type of customer service and lack of follow up on critical safety items I feel puts our roadways at further risk of continual accidents due to toyotas lack of engagement and follow up. I take full advantage of the freedoms we enjoy every day, being a service disabled Air Force Veteran of over 20 years of service, I take great pride in the active checks and balances holding us all accountable. I appreciate your efforts and follow up regarding my claim. Dont hesitate to email me or follow up by phone. [XXX] - [XXX], thank you!

I brought my Toyota Tundra to Gullo Toyota of Conroe for a routine service and a recall software update. The truck went in with a perfectly functioning front camera, and it came back with the camera completely blurry. The dealership is only 10 minutes from my home — I noticed the issue the moment I pulled into my garage. I assumed the camera was dirty and cleaned it several times, but nothing changed. When I called the dealership, the service advisor told me that the recall software update “tends to do that” to Tundra cameras. My truck is a 2023 with only 28,000 miles, so he scheduled me for another software update. After dropping it off, I received a text an hour later claiming my front camera was “chipped” and that replacing it would cost $2,500. I went back in person to get an explanation, and suddenly the story changed: now they insisted the camera was damaged by a rock before I brought the truck in. The service manager even made the absurd statement, “This didn’t happen on my driveway or service area.” The advisor, Matthew McWhirte, claimed they have cameras everywhere, but when I asked to see footage, he had no answer. This is despite their own staff previously acknowledging that the software update can cause camera issues. They still refused to take responsibility or cover the repair. And here’s the thing: if the camera was accidentally broken by their drivers or mechanics, just be honest about it. Mistakes happen — lying about them is what destroys trust. When I escalated to the service manager, the situation got even worse. He was rude, dismissive, and condescending — making confident claims with zero evidence, contradicting what his own advisor had already told me. Instead of investigating, he doubled down on denial. A front camera is a safety feature. A dealership performing recall work that results in a malfunction, and accidentally breaks it, should fix it — not lie, deflect, and blame the customer.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V767000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer called and advised the contact to bring the vehicle in because the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The contact was provided a loaner vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle had remained with the dealer since November 2025, but no financial compensation was provided. 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, but no assistance was provided. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The recall was issued May 2025 and still has no remedy, bulletins state anticipated remedy in 4th quarter of 2025, we are in middle of 2026, over a year since the recall was issued another recall issued November 2025 with no remedy yet.

I purchased my 2023 Toyota Tundra new and immediately had concerns as at low speeds it jerked badly. This problem has not gotten better but worse. It is noticeable to passengers when riding in the truck. Early on the fuel pump quit and was replaced. The spark plugs were replaced after the dealership said this might be the problem. My issue is I purchased a $70,000 vehicle with the expectation it would be reliable and long lasting. After all it is a Toyota and that used to be the standard. Instead from day one of ownership this vehicle has presented issues. Issues that should be handled timely since Toyota knows this is an issue. I'm not comfortable drive long distances due to the possibility of breaking down. The response from Toyota is not acceptable in my opinion. Also, motors replaced earlier on were NEW and now they state when they get to mine & others it will be remanufactured. This doesn't seem fair and consistent when considering the overall impact this massive recall has caused.

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced significant hesitation upon acceleration. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V767000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. 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 failure mileage was 21,498.

Gas pedal hesitation at a rolling stop. There is a delay in acceleration during occasional rolling stops at locations such as yield signs and unmarked intersections on the roadway. When this happens the driver may depress the accelerator more than should be necessary causing tire spin and traction control integration. The traction control drastically reduces speed and limits acceleration which is a detriment to any oncoming traffic and everone else on the road. Many owners acknowledge this issue on social media. No warning lights. Toyota has a service bullitin out for this as of May 2026, but has limited vin numbers they will update for free. My truck has been an issue since purchased new in March 2023. It can be an intermittent issue and the dealer can't seam to duplicate it on inspection. Since they couldn't duplicate it the first time i complained about it, they want to charge for diagnosis. Toyota will not update the transmission module because my vin number isn't included and they can't duplicate it. This is a safety issue and all vin numbers should get the software update in my opinion. TSB0032-26 is toyotas service bulitin. Toyota told me they would only do it if it was a safety recall.
