FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
Headlights go out randomly usually when using turn signal. Because this happens at night all visibility is lost temporarily. This also confuses other drivers.

No warning lights or messages were displayed. This problem has been documented numerous times by many different owners on Toyota Tundra forums.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My 2017 Toyota Tundra Limited has 107,192 miles. I took the vehicle to Berlin City Toyota in Portland, ME for an oil change. The service technician told me that the truck has a cam tower leak. The engine is leaking oil directly onto the exhaust manifold. The service technician told me that if the leak gets worse the engine oil could combust and the engine would light on fire. I regularly have my truck serviced at Berlin City Toyota in Portland, ME, which is where I purchased the truck. I have documented with Toyota that the truck has been burning or leaking oil since it purchased the truck when it had 43,000 miles. No leak was ever found by Toyota until yesterday. The cost to repair this issue is $5600. No warning lamps or messages have ever appeared on the truck. Toyota says this is a common issues with the 5.7 liter V8 engine in the 2017 Tundra. I feel that it should be covered by warranty or a recall should be put in place for the cam tower leak on the Toyota Tundra being that the engine could light on fire with no warning due to the faulty seal on the engine.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Intermittent failure of the integrated trailer brake controller system. System indicates a frequent intermittent fault indicating a wiring or connection issue that disables the signal to activate the trailer brakes resulting in no trailer braking. Vehicle and trailer are available for inspection. I was travelling down a 6% grade mountain (Arizona SR87 MP224) an exhibited a loss of trailer brakes. Taking the trailer to the dealer on flat level service experienced intermittent loss of trailer brakes. Toyota Integrated Brake Controller (IBC) intermittently and randomly indicating a fault in the trailer wiring. •Rapid clicking of the IBC’s electrical relays. •In fault mode, the IBC disables the trailer brakes. •Sometimes the IBC works perfectly for miles and then goes into fault mode for an unknown reason. •Sometimes, the IBC goes into fault mode just plugging the trailer into the electrical socket without even taking the truck out of drive or depressing the brake pedal. •All external trailer lights include turn signals are functioning normally. Examination and diagnosis to date: •Toyota IBC was removed and replaced with a Tekonsha P3 brake controller using a Tekonsha wiring harness adapter to plug directly into the Tundra’s wiring harness used by the original Toyota IBC. The P3 is giving the error as brake circuit short-circuit, overload. •The travel trailer is a 2022 Jayco 212QBW, dual axle. •I brought the trailer to the dealer I purchased it from to have the brake system checked for faults. I’ve attached a copy of receipt from the dealer service department. In short, they examined the following and concluded the issue was with the Tundra. - The trailer wiring was physically examined with no deficiencies. - Trailer connected to the dealer's Chevy Silverado and driven around town with no faults. Toyota dealership claims they can find no fault with their tester. They would not use my 7-pin tester that also exhibits the same problems.

Toyota Integrated Brake Controller (IBC) intermittently and randomly indicating a fault in the trailer wiring. •Rapid clicking of the IBC’s electrical relays. •In fault mode, the IBC disables the trailer brakes. •Sometimes the IBC works perfectly for miles and then goes into fault mode for an unknown reason. •Sometimes, the IBC goes into fault mode just plugging the trailer into the electrical socket without even taking the truck out of drive or depressing the brake pedal. •All external trailer lights include turn signals are functioning normally. Examination and diagnosis to date: •Toyota IBC was removed and replaced with a Tekonsha P3 brake controller using a Tekonsha wiring harness adapter to plug directly into the Tundra’s wiring harness used by the original Toyota IBC. The P3 is giving the error as brake circuit short-circuit, overload. •The travel trailer is a 2022 Jayco 212QBW, dual axle. •I brought the trailer to the dealer I purchased it from to have the brake system checked for faults. I’ve attached a copy of receipt from the dealer service department. In short, they examined the following and concluded the issue was with the Tundra. - The trailer wiring was physically examined with no deficiencies. - Trailer connected to the dealer's Chevy Silverado and driven around town with no faults. Toyota dealership claims they can find no fault with their tester. They would not use my 7-pin tester that also exhibits the same problems.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Intermittent failure of the integrated trailer brake controller system. System indicates a frequent intermittent fault indicating a wiring or connection issue that disables the signal to activate the trailer brakes resulting in no trailer braking. Vehicle and trailer are available for inspection. I was travelling down a 6% grade mountain (Arizona SR87 MP224) an exhibited a loss of trailer brakes. Taking the trailer to the dealer on flat level service experienced intermittent loss of trailer brakes.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
We were recently advised our 2017 Tundra needs a new fuel pump because it is not getting enough compression. We were told the 2018 Toyota Tundra and many other vehicles made by Toyota have been recalled for this exact same issue we are having but there have not been enough complaints about the 2017. Well here’s a complaint. I have to pay for a fuel pump known to be bad by Toyota but since enough people haven’t complained about a problem they are aware of isn’t fair. Please put my complaint in so something might be done about this.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle was driven 30 miles to work with no steering issues and parked in work parking lot. Upon returning to vehicle to return home when backing out of parking spot the front driver wheel would not turn almost causing me to back into parked car next to me. I looked under the front of the driver side tire, and noticed the outer tie rod was hanging down, and was causing the no steering issue. I called a tow truck, and had the vehicle taken to the Toyota dealer where vehicle was purchased new. I informed the dealer to be careful with the vehicle as the outer tie rod on driver side was broken and was not possible to drive. The Toyota dealer investigated the issue and found that the threads on bother inner and outer tie rods on both passenger and driver side was stripped. All outer and inner tie rods on the vehicle had to be replaced due to the threads being stripped on all 4 tie rods. My concern is this truck only has 86,000 miles on it, and if I had been travelling on interstate at 70MPH and the tie rod broke it would have resulted in a catastrophic collision due to a no steering condition. This vehicle has never sustained any front end damage of any type. I can provide the dealers name and the notes on the repair bill from the Toyota dealership stating exactly what I have stated in this report.
