I am writing to bring to your attention a critical safety concern regarding the Toyota Tundra, specifically related to the rear tailgate functionality. It has come to my attention, and I have personally experienced, that the rear tailgate of the Toyota Tundra can unexpectedly open while the vehicle is in drive mode if the key fob is accidentally pressed. This poses a significant safety risk to not only the driver but also to any passengers and other drivers on the road. The unintended opening of the tailgate can lead to cargo falling out onto the road, causing accidents and potentially endangering lives. I believe that this issue warrants immediate attention and investigation by the National Transportation Safety Authority (NTSA). It is imperative that Toyota addresses this issue promptly to prevent any potential accidents or injuries. I urge the NTSA to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and work with Toyota to implement a solution that ensures the rear tailgate remains securely closed while the vehicle is in motion. Additionally, I recommend that Toyota issues a safety recall to rectify this potentially hazardous defect. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the NTSA will take appropriate action to address this safety concern and ensure the safety of all road users.

The fuel gauge will randomly reset itself to full. This poses a safety concern as the truck may run out of gas while it is showing that it is not empty. This could happen while doing something like pulling out in to traffic or turning across a lane of traffic. This affects many trucks, not just mine.

I was on the road and suddenly the dashboard came on and showed several faults. I took it to the dealership and they told me that the alternator was no longer working and my truck is now 3 months old at the Toyota dealership.

Before this recall happened we had issues with screen blacking out and crashing even after the recall was -??fixed-?? also the back seat outlet has never worked. The malfunction of the grille shutter and park support brake malfunction came last week and we had to have that fixed. Now this! The dealerships around kansas don-??t have loaner vehicles or rentals available. How is this okay?!

The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 MPH, and at various speeds, the instrument cluster and the radio would stop functioning. The contact stated that the message on the screen stated that a PIN should be entered to be able to view the instrument cluster. The contact stated that the failure had become constant. The contact also stated that the emergency alert, or 911 alert feature, linked to the same system as the radio and instrument cluster also failed to function as designed. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer however, the dealer could not determine the cause of the failure and stated that the system was operating as designed. The vehicle had not been repaired. Additionally, the contact had received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V566000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). 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.

The new Tundra most of the features are controlled by the 14-inch Infotainment screen. The screen has gone completely dark and irresponsive to touch, power on/off, and hard reset by the dealership. Given that so many of the truck's safety features are controlled in this system, the vehicle is unsafe to operate. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership for service and beyond the hard reset (disconnect and reconnect the battery) which they've done, they are unable to diagnose what the problem is or how to fix it.

Merging into a highway vehicle lost power. Wouldn-??t accelerate above 50 mph. Had multiple warning come on the dash, power lost, hybrid system failure, park daisy failure. Turned my hazards on a proceeded to safety. Definitely nerve racking, wouldn-??t want this to happen when merging lanes in fast moving heavily traffic road. Accident waiting to happen. Toyota is completely silent about it.
