2019 Toyota Tundra

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."

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.

My toyota tundra is having issues with the fuel pump. It is saying I am using e85 fuel when that is not the case. As a result I am having issues with cold start. There are recalls however I am being told that my truck is listed among them despite having the same issue.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer and was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced, and codes were in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired.

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.

Intermittent message displaying "Trailer Brakes Disconnected" while towing. Trailer lights continued to operate even while message was displayed. On average trailer connected and disconnected every 2-3 minutes

Keep getting the messages "Trailer brake error, if towing come to a stop with manual controls" And "Pre-collision system malfunction" The messages go away usually after restarting the vehicle but eventually comes back on

I had to have the steering rack assembly replaced in my vehicle due to a leak. This is one of the complaints and a recall but I never got a notification.

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.

Truck shut off while driving fuel pump connector in the tank was melted and could have started a fire. Was told my tundra doesn’t fall under the recall but is having the same problem

Having fuel pump issue. Car stalls very badly and pre collision light and engine lights start flashing. Severe jumping by car driving down the road. When accelerating the car has no acceleration and hesitates very badly.

When refueling this vehicle, gasoline will flow out of the filler tank onto the ground and will shoot out onto the person filling the truck up. Have had the charcoal canister replaced twice and this has not fixed the problem for any length of time. Dealer claims that vent tubes are getting clogged up but cannot explain how or why they are plugged up. Last repair lasted one week before fueling issues showed up again. The gas shooting out of the filler hose onto people standing nearby and onto the ground is an extreme fire and explosion issue and is an environmental issue. This problem seems to be a common issue based on internet search for Toyota Tundra refueling issues. There has been a service bulletin published by Toyota on this issue. I have been having this problem for over 2 years.

Factory installed OEM LED HEADLIGHTS: While driving in WET SNOW and SNOW conditions, headlights get covered in snow and visibility is greatly reduced to almost zero.
