2018 Toyota Tundra

Front Upper Grille Hood Scoop becomes loose and flys off during highway speeds and can distract a driver to the point of having an accident. Has been replaced once and is loose again held down by duck tape.

Vehicle never been crash or hit by other car, but is showing problem with the air bag system

The upper grille and hood trim assembly on my 2018 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition failed and partially detached from the vehicle due to apparent mounting clip and retainer failure. The failed component is available for inspection upon request. Photographs of the damage and detached trim assembly have been documented. This failure created a significant safety risk because the panel could have fully detached while the vehicle was in motion and become a roadway hazard to other motorists. The detached component also created concerns regarding possible interference with the front grille assembly and Toyota Safety Sense components located behind the grille area. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lamps, dashboard messages, or other electronic warnings indicating a problem. There were also no visible signs of impact damage or collision that would explain the failure. The condition appears to have occurred during normal vehicle operation. The vehicle currently has approximately 76,900 miles. After researching the issue, I identified multiple reports from other Toyota Tundra owners describing similar failures involving the upper grille garnish, mounting tabs, and retaining clips on this generation of Tundra vehicles. At this time, the issue has not yet been formally inspected by Toyota, law enforcement, insurance representatives, or an independent repair facility. Dealer confirmation is currently UNKNOWN. However, based on visual inspection, the mounting clips and retainers appear to have failed under normal operating conditions.

Sometimes the engine will randomly turn off while driving and become hard to restart like it’s not getting fuel.

Seat back on driver side caught fire burn 2" x 2" hole in the seat back

When starting up my truck in the morning there is rough idle that cause truck to sputter and sound horrible. It eventually smooths out but I believe the computer needs flashing. When I look online some have a recall for the engine 3UR-FBE / 2018 Toyota tundra, but when I put in my vin # it shows no recall and throws off check engine light Code. Also my radar sensor that it on for cruise control is showing up on dash please contact dealer and flashing. They have replaced this before with recall and now it’s acting up again. Also traction control is lighting up I. The dash as well blinking along with all these codes.

The vehicle was having issues with the fuel pump which was a known safety recall for the 2018 Toyota Tundra vehicles. The service man said that when he pulled up the safety recall for our VIN number that it didn't show anything, but we needed a new fuel pump according to the service codes that were coming up after inspection. They made us pay for the fuel pump before we left the dealership. The vehicle was too dangerous to drive without having the work performed (getting stalled out or stuck on the highway) so we had to pay for the work. Toyota said that I could file a complaint with NHTSA to get my vehicle added to this recall and then try again for reimbursement. I have the repair paperwork if needed to support this claim.

Heated seat element and module burnt

I had an independent service center diagnose the issue with my 2018 Toyota Tundra. My truck would not start so there was no safety concern, but if the fuel pump failed while driving then the safety concern rises. The electrical connection inside the fuel pump was melted. There was no warning signs of the issue, it just would not turn all the way over. I looked up that the 2018 Toyota Tundra w certain VIN #'s have a recall for the fuel pump, unfortunately my VIN # is not included.

The truck under frame is rusting a lot in spots near welds.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while her husband attempted to start the vehicle, the engine failed to turn over. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to a local dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the fuel module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V012000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

Vehicle occasionally stalls on acceleration and deceleration. Occasional stall on idle. Check engine light DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. After several stalls; warning lights for trainer brake controller, forward anti-collision, and cruise control errors illuminate. Diagnosed as bad fuel pump and fuel pump modulator. Fuel pump and modulator replaced and issues rectified.

My fuel pump died with symptoms consistent with other 2018-2020 Tundras involved in a fuel pump recall.

Fuel pump out after 3 weeks.4-24-25 Three weeks ago 4-07-25 I had an issue with my fuel pump and the Toyota dealer replaced it. I also reported it here at that time. I typed up what the truck did and sent it to y'all before i ever got word of what was wrong. The report from them is not accurate. They stated I had run out of gas and the fuel pump was burnt up. As I stated I lost propulsion but the truck was still running. I will say I also know I had a couple of gallons of gas in it as I added some the day before and I know how far I drove as I put a little extra over the distance I was going and of course it had gas in it since I drove it to the gas station. Anyways they replaced the pump and now 3 weeks later 4-24-25 the new pump is out. The truck acted the same as it did 3 weeks ago and again it wouldn't start after turning it off. I had to have it towed to the dealer again. They confirmed today it was the fuel pump that had gone out. I know I had about a half tank of gas this time.

FUEL PUMP. I was driving at highway speeds of about 70mph when I suddenly lost propulsion but the truck was still running. I had cars behind me and coming from the front. I shifted to neutral and back to drive to see if that would fix it and nothing changed. I pulled over onto the shoulder and put it in park. I went back to drive and nothing again. I turned it off hoping for a reset and it wouldn't start after that. The starter was turning over but would not fire up the engine. Had to have it towed to the dealer and they say its the Fuel Pump. No lights or warnings ever came on the dash. The Truck is at the Toyota Dealer being fixed right now.

My truck continues to start extremely rough and it staled out on me the other day driving down the road. The problem has persisted for several months now and I have been told that it is a problem with the fuel pump. I know that Toyota had a massive recall on fuel pumps but my truck was not under that recall and believe that it should have been.

Doesn’t want to start very good and throws misfire codes and turns off trailer breaks and precollsion sensors.

This is the second occurrence of "rodent" damage eating engine wires. The first incident cost me $2,000. This has now occurred again. There is something "maybe soy based" or environmentally friendly materials that are attracting rats, and mice to cause engine damage by eating essential wiring and sensors, causing a fire risk, and highway safety risk.

This case results from the malfunctioning trailer brake ECU on 2018-2019 Tundras. There is a Toyota service bulletin T-SB-0036-19, which specifies an updated controller to replace the defective model. Part # : Original 89547-0C020 Update/replacement 89547-0C060 Toyota will not replace this defective part outside of the original warranty period despite the issuance of an updated replacement part. The service bulletin wasn’t even issued until 4/19 possibly giving no recourse to owners whose warranty had tolled. The newer part number, suggests this was a dangerous defect that was upgraded. A review of this matter online details this problem has frequently occurred. The reason it’s not more commonly reported is that a minority of Tundra owners tow trailers, and even fewer tow with electric brakes. Regardless, this is a significant safety issue where the Tundra owners are forced pay about $1,100 to repair this defective part. This matter should be elevated to a recall since losing the functionality of one’s trailer brakes is a very dangerous situation.
