    The Forward Recognition Camera on my 2019 Toyota Tundra has suffered an internal failure. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Toyota dealership, which diagnosed and documented:"FOUND INTERNAL FAULT IN FORWARD RECOGNITION CAMERA." The failed component is available for inspection. This camera is a critical safety component that supports forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and other driver-assistance systems. Because of this internal failure, the vehicle's ability to detect potential hazards may be reduced or disabled, leaving the driver without safety features that were designed to help prevent or mitigate crashes. This failure places not only the occupants of my vehicle at risk but also other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists sharing the roadway. The condition was reproduced and confirmed by an authorized Toyota dealer. The dealer determined that the camera itself had internally failed and requires replacement. The failure was not attributed to an accident, impact, misuse, modification, or outside damage. It was diagnosed as an internal fault of the camera assembly. Prior to diagnosis, warning messages and safety-system malfunction alerts appeared on the vehicle, indicating that the driver-assistance systems were not functioning properly. These warnings prompted me to seek service. The dealership subsequently confirmed the internal camera failure. I am concerned that this component failed under normal operating conditions in a relatively modern vehicle and that other Toyota Tundra owners may be experiencing the same defect. A safety-critical camera system should not experience an internal failure that disables key crash-avoidance technologies. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether this defect is affecting other 2019 Toyota Tundra vehicles and determine whether corrective action, including a recall, is warranted. The dealer diagnosis specifically states:"FOUND INTERNAL FAULT IN FORWARD RECOGNITION CAMERA."

    I bought this car in January 2019, and even though it had 210 miles, they sold it to me as new. I think they did something illegal because I have the purchase contract and they didn't put that information there. They put 10 miles and I didn't notice at the time. Also, I have the window sticker and it says the car comes standard with a remote key for entry, and the dealer removed it to make it without one. I'm ashamed I didn't report this sooner. It must be a form of consumer theft, something they only do to protect themselves.

    The built-in navigation system in my 2019 Toyota Tundra is dangerously outdated and cannot be updated over-the-air (OTA). Recently, it misrouted me into a remote, unfamiliar area with no cell service and incorrect road data. If I hadn’t had enough fuel, I could have been stranded in potentially life-threatening conditions. Toyota continues to install these systems with outdated maps and no OTA functionality, while presenting them as part of a reliable, intelligent driving experience. This is not a minor tech issue—it is a safety failure. Drivers are led to trust a system that cannot be trusted. I want to be clear: this experience has completely changed how I view Toyota as a brand. What seemed like a small, fixable flaw turned into a moment of genuine danger. That moment told me everything I needed to know about Toyota’s priorities—and Toyota is no longer in my future because of it. I urge NHTSA to investigate this as a potential recall-level issue. A navigation system that actively misleads the driver and offers no timely updates is not just broken—it’s hazardous.

    There was three warning light showing malfunction collision warning and i tried to to dealership and they said nothing is wrong

  • Filed Dec 2022

    We were driving down an unpaved road at 8 mph in 4WDh in our 2019 Toyota Tundra when I heard a couple popping sounds from inside the car. Then it stopped. I opened the passenger side door to get out and check on the truck, and flames were pouring out under the engine. There were 3 of us in the car. We immediately got out and tried to pour water and throw sand on the fire. It grew very quickly, so we ran away. The car was immediately engulfed in flames like something out of a movie with black smoke going high into the air. Within 5-10 minutes, the truck was totally gone. There were no warning signs/lights other than the 2 pops and then fire/explosion. We are very lucky we did not die. We bought it brand new. It was the first new car we’ve ever owned. It was impeccably cared for. We always brought it to the Toyota dealership in Eugene, OR for service. It was there about a month prior to the explosion. During that visit, they replaced the battery as well as dealt with the halogen light recall. Other things were more routine maintenance. We are in shock and do not want this to happen to others. We also do not know what our next steps are, but we wanted your agency to be aware of this issue. The local dealership said it must have been a car defect or bad workmanship at our last service. Either way, it was terrifying.

    The fuel pump and the fuel pump control module system failed. Before the failure, I drove my 2019 Toyota Tundra on XXX from [XXX] to [XXX] with no prior check engine light warning. It was parked for all 3 days at a campground in [XXX]. However, on XXX the vehicle would not start. The truck ignition was moved to the RUN position and then the check engine light came on, which was the first notification of a potential problem. So, I attempted to start the vehicle, there was a crank but not a start incident. The ignition was moved back to the OFF position. I'm also an experienced mechanic, so I lifted the hood to diagnose the issue and search where the malfunction was occurring. I inspected the battery, all the fuses, the relays controlling the fuel pump, and the fuel pump control module. Using a Voltmeter Tester, the battery had a full charge. The relays and the fuses were also replaced with no success in starting the vehicle. The fuel line was disconnected from the fuel rail so I could verify if fuel was getting to the engine. The truck ignition was again moved to the RUN position and then the Start Position with NO success of fuel getting to the fuel rail. The vehicle was then towed to a local auto shop and the problem has been reproduced only by Crawford Auto Repair shop in [XXX]. The auto mechanic mentioned two error codes were presented: 1. The fuel pump 2. The fuel pump control module. Thankfully, there was no immediate risk to my family's safety but it could have occurred while driving back through the [XXX] mountains on our way home.

    We had just exited the interstate when my Toyota Tundra stopped. We had it towed to the closest Toyota dealer. We had to have fuel pump replaced. They said the previous year Tundra was recalled for this issue, but ours was not. I just found out that some of the 2019 models had been recalled for this issue. They said my VIN was not recalled. That does not make sense. It was the same problem, same year, just at a different plant. Now we are having other fuel issues and the dealer says it all stems from the replacement of the pump, which we had to pay out of pocket. If we had not just exited the interstate it could have caused a major accident.

    The electrical system malfunctioned, causing all warning lamps on the dashboard to light up. Because this happened while I was driving, I do believe that this electrical issue caused safety concerns for others on the road. The taillights went out first, seconds later, all remaining electrical failed at once, including airbags, windows, headlights at one point, pre collision warning lights, lane departure, and the breaking system failed as well. This caused safety concerns for myself, my passenger, as well as the public because all safety warning sensors failed at once while on the road. The problem has been confirmed by Roseville Toyota, who is a manufacturer, and who currently has the vehicle now, they said that there is definitely an electrical issue and most likely a short of some sort. The warning lamps and messages on the dash lit up one at a time, seconds apart from each other, until the entire dash was lit up completely while I was driving on March 24, 2023.

    My son was driving to Mineral Wells to get something to eat on Wednesday 11/17/21 at 8:00 at night on FM 52 South. All of a sudden the steering wheel falls in his lap. He picked it up and shoved it onto the column and was able to steer the truck onto the side of the road without hitting anything. He looked underneath the steering wheel assembly and 2 of the 4 ubolts where missing. Where did they go - if they were ever there in the first place. The steering wheel has had some vibration and we have had the truck front end aligned and the wheels balanced. I had it in not long ago for an inspection/oil change/tire rotation. After I left the dealership the wheel felt a little loose and there was some vibration but I thought it was the road and it did stop vibrating. I also drive a Prius and I thought maybe I'm just not used to the way the truck feels. I told my son when I got home that it felt loose and he said he would keep an eye on it. Then Wednesday night the steering wheel falls off and the whole column falls out. What is this? I also drive the truck and I do not think I would have had #1 - the strength to pick the wheel up and force it back onto the column or #2 - the sense to even do that. I would have had an accident. The Shottenkirk dealership does not want to deal with the problem even though I have an extended warranty so today Freeman Toyota calls me and they are picking up the truck and will be doing the repair work. Bottom line - my son could have been killed or injured, I drove the truck Monday in Ft. Worth going 70+mph and I could have been killed or injured. How does a steering wheel/steering column loose ubolts and falls off/collapses?

    3 times in the last few mos the BRAKE! warning came on. Nothing was causing this warning to engage. This happened again today. Another issue is when the Valdosta Toyota (GA) dealer attempted to fix the fuel pump recall on 22 JUL 2020 it was assembled incorrectly. I called the dealership and told them to come and get my Tundra because gas was dripping onto my driveway. They sent a tow truck and it was supposedly fixed and they brought it back to me in about 2 hrs. It really does run the way it did before they “re-fixed” it. Very often now when it is driving I feel something like a failing fuel pump. It fades away but it is not comfortable taking it long distances. It feels like there is a clog in the fuel system or something, although there is not. I have 33,400 miles on it today and I can’t help but wonder if Valdosta Toyota didn’t just exchange the original fuel pump with a different used one?

    I was on a camping trip in Wyoming, and I started my Tundra up on a chilly morning. It was running for about 5 minutes before I came back to it and entered the cab. Immediately upon entering I noticed a strange smell. I also noticed at that time that the driver’s seat was extremely warm. I quickly shut off the heat warmer (original equipment on the truck). Inspecting the seat, I could see where the leather was just starting to melt. Luckily, I caught this in time, for if I would have left it longer, the vehicle could have caught fire. An online search discovered previous problems with Toyota seat warmers. My contact with Toyota was not helpful, for they simply told me that it was out of warranty, despite being a safety issue.
