Front grille piece on hood keeps coming off even after being replaced 4 times now and this last time it flew off busted my windshield on the expressway and Toyota just tells me to go to collision center as a solution! This piece just snaps in as it's just plastic and it just flys off the front when it catches air under it, it busted my windshield, messed me hood up and flew down the side of my truck on the expressway and could have caused a major accident this time! Toyota refuses to do anything about it and there are other trucks that have the issues! When I did my research! This accident scared me this time the other times I was able to catch it before it flew off? Not this time there was no warning it just flew off and busted my windshield and it could have been so much worse and they aren't offering a better solution or issuing a recall after I am telling them about this issue!

Began experiencing long cranking, difficulty starting, then rough idling. Started researching online and found recalls for 2018 -2019 Flex fuel 5.7 Tundras. My 2017 is also a Flex fuel 5.7 with exactly the same issue. Dealer says 2017 not covered. I had to pay over $2000 to have the fuel pump replaced, ECM reprogrammed. I don’t understand why 2017 was not included in the recall. Please NHTSA consider extending this recall to 2017. I am reading numerous complaints on this website about the same issue from owners of 2017 Flex fuel Tundras.

The factory IBC is a safety issue. I would not tow anything over 1500lbs as the brake controller does not work. This controller is an accident waiting to happen. When set on gain 10 you can barely feel a tug from the trailer. You can't feel anything if you apply the vehicle brake pedal. On a gain of 10 it should lock up the trailer brakes, and it can't do that on a dirt road much less on asphalt. Toyota has not done anything to fix this issue AT ALL! Lots of truck owners out there that don't even know of this problem and alot of owners are forced to install aftermarket brake controllers on their dimensions. Toyota should be held to fixing this safety issue. Why isn't there a recall on these vehicles. It's a problem that multiple year tundras! I purchased this vehicle to tow a 16' travel trailer weighin3500 lbs. I tried to adjust the controller in the neighborhood and was not happy or safe with the test. I will not tow with the factory setup. UNSAFE!

The transmission solenoid D shows high voltage which sets my check engine light off. At first no difference would be noticed and it would randomly turn off and then back on randomly. After doing this on and off for the last few months, the transmission has randomly been getting stuck in 4th gear but will lower when slowing down. According to those who have had the same issue have found it to be fixed by replacing the S4 solenoid which seems to be producing way more voltage than it’s supposed to

The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while driving 65-70 MPH, the TPMS warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over and became aware that the passenger's side rear tire was losing air. The contact attempted to use the OEM jack; however, the jack was too small. The contact used several rocks to add height to raise the vehicle up with the OEM jack. The flat tire was replaced with the spare. The contact was concerned about the vehicle falling off the jack. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, and the tire was patched. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer declined to replace the jack. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 87,500.

My 2017 Toyota Tundra had been starting roughly the past couple of weeks, I initially thought this was due to the very cold weather we recently had. It has just over 71k miles on it, so there should be no issues with this truck. Then on the afternoon of 1/16/25 I tried to start my truck and it would turn over, but not start. No fuel was getting to the engine. I did some research on this issue and it seems a recall was issued for 1.5 MILLION Tundras from 2017. I did a search for my VIN and nothing comes up. I want this fixed by Toyota as it should be included in the recall. Now I have a useless hunk of metal sitting at my house because I cant even start it to get it TO the dealership. Please help me resolve this and have Toyota take care of the problem. I dont understand why my vehicle was not included in the 1.5 million vehicles initially covered. Please, help consumers out with this. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

Headlights go out randomly usually when using turn signal. Because this happens at night all visibility is lost temporarily. This also confuses other drivers. I haven’t taken the vehicle to the dealer because the symptom is very sporadic and difficult to duplicate. Dealerships will not fix anything unless they can witness the issue. No warning lights or messages were displayed. This problem has been documented numerous times by many different owners on Toyota Tundra forums.
