After changing your engine oil at 36,000 miles, you discovered metal fragments in the used oil, which can indicate internal engine wear or damage. Your Toyota dealer confirmed there are no recalls for your vehicle and did not perform a diagnosis or repair. Toyota opened a case but directed you to NHTSA for further assistance. The issue may require an engine inspection to identify the source of the metal particles and determine if internal engine components need replacement.

Your panoramic sunroof suddenly shattered and exploded upward while you were driving, scattering glass onto the sunroof shade and into the truck bed. The closed shade prevented glass from falling into the cabin, but if it had been open, shards could have fallen into your face while driving. The manufacturer has indicated this was caused by a defect rather than any external impact or object. The sunroof glass will likely need to be completely replaced and the frame inspected for damage.

Your replacement engine, installed in December 2025, has developed serious problems. You've experienced engine vibration, hesitation at certain speeds, and most dangerously, a complete loss of power while driving 65 mph on the highway in February 2026—your dashboard flooded with error codes. After turning the engine off and restarting it, power returned, but this is a critical safety issue. The dealership will need to diagnose why the newly replaced engine is malfunctioning and likely replace or repair it.

Your 2023 Tundra is subject to an engine failure recall, but Toyota's service advisor told you the vehicle won't be serviced until the engine actually fails and leaves you stranded. You're concerned about driving over mountain passes at night in a vehicle with a known recall issue, especially with only 37,700 miles on the odometer. Toyota may need to perform engine diagnostics and potentially replace engine components or the entire engine assembly to address the recall condition.

Exterior Lighting,engine,visibility/wiper →1 issue
Your 2023 Tundra is subject to two unresolved safety recalls. The first involves a potential engine defect from manufacturing debris that could cause your engine to stall suddenly, especially while towing or driving on the highway — this is particularly concerning since you use your truck for towing. The second recall involves a reverse lamp failure that reduces visibility when backing up and increases crash risk. Toyota has not yet provided a repair or timeline for either issue, so you've had to limit towing and long-distance driving to stay safe. The fix will require waiting for Toyota to develop and release a repair remedy for both the engine defect and the reverse lamp system.

Your truck has been experiencing delayed throttle response for several months, and recently went into limp mode with a check engine light and loss of power warning. The dealer found turbocharger failure but cannot replace it due to an active engine recall on your vehicle, leaving your truck at the dealership with no confirmed repair timeline. The turbocharger and potentially the entire engine may need to be replaced as part of addressing the recall.

Within 200 feet of driving, you saw smoke coming from under the hood and discovered an electrical fire in the engine compartment. You used a fire extinguisher to put it out and disconnected the battery. The main fuse and relay box and other electrical components in the engine bay were damaged. This happened during normal driving with no crash involved.

Your 2023 Tundra has two open safety recalls — one filed in May 2025 and another in November 2025 — but neither has a remedy available yet. Toyota initially said the November recall would be fixed by early February, but that deadline has passed.

Power Train,fuel/propulsion System →1 issue
Your Tundra hesitates when you accelerate from a stop, delaying the engine's response to your gas pedal input. This unpredictable delay makes it difficult to safely merge into traffic since you can't reliably predict how quickly the truck will accelerate. The issue appears to involve the fuel system or engine throttle response and may require diagnostics at a dealership.

Power Train →1 issue
Your truck hesitates for 1-2 seconds when you accelerate from a stop or slow speed, which has created dangerous situations when merging into traffic. This delay in power delivery is a significant safety concern that needs diagnosis. The fix will likely involve checking your transmission fluid, fuel system components, or having the engine computer scanned for fault codes.
