Defect Description:

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

We were driving down an unpaved road at 8 mph in 4WDh in our 2019 Toyota Tundra when I heard a couple popping sounds from inside the car. Then it stopped. I opened the passenger side door to get out and check on the truck, and flames were pouring out under the engine. There were 3 of us in the car. We immediately got out and tried to pour water and throw sand on the fire. It grew very quickly, so we ran away. The car was immediately engulfed in flames like something out of a movie with black smoke going high into the air. Within 5-10 minutes, the truck was totally gone. There were no warning signs/lights other than the 2 pops and then fire/explosion. We are very lucky we did not die. We bought it brand new. It was the first new car we’ve ever owned. It was impeccably cared for. We always brought it to the Toyota dealership in Eugene, OR for service. It was there about a month prior to the explosion. During that visit, they replaced the battery as well as dealt with the halogen light recall. Other things were more routine maintenance. We are in shock and do not want this to happen to others. We also do not know what our next steps are, but we wanted your agency to be aware of this issue. The local dealership said it must have been a car defect or bad workmanship at our last service. Either way, it was terrifying.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

A technical safety bulletin was issue for this issue (T-SB-0036-19). On a recent trip in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, my wife and I were pulling a travel trailer with LED lights and noticed that the trailer disconnected warning come on. We thought it was a loose cable and pulled over to check the plug. We started home after our trip and had this occur several times on step grades. The scary issue is the lights continue to work indicating that it’s still connected, however when I checked the manual brake controller there were no brakes! There were no areas to pull over. Once we were able to pullover safely, we checked the connection again and it was still secure. This occurred again on I-40 as we approached and accident scene with sudden braking. Then it disappeared again. We made it safely home and I started researching the issue and found the bulletin. I took it to Toyota to complete but it’s still an optional bulletin. This is an enormous safety issue considering a 5400 pound truck capable of towing a 9200 pound trailer at highway speeds with no braking or access to the first step to stop trailer sway.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Intermit message "Trailer disconnect " message causing the trailer braking system to fail when attached to truck. Truck brakes are used to stop trailer at unsafe distances. Several trailers were used to verify. I have attached the fix but Toyota says its warranty issue. This is a "safety" issue. I had my 3 year old son in the truck when i had to apply the brakes and couldn't stop in enough time. The truck brakes could not handle the weight of the trailer hence why the trailer brakes were needed. Please prevent a death.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

Potential Consequences:

Pre collison warning system has turned itself off in the rain and states visit dealer for service. Never logs data and on when you get to dealer. Same system has also flash "Brake" on the highway at 65 mph when a dry sunny day and no cars around. I am worried it may actually brake by accident causing loss of control. Went to dealer on both occasions and because it doesn't log the data there was nothing they could do. Did my own research and there was a technical service bulletin for certain VINS (not mine) to "repair" this module behind the grill. It was done to my truck but not by my dealership before I took ownership. It should not have been done and Route 44 toyota just did nothing. I asked for a replacement and they wouldn't because there wasn't any codes listed to warrant it because the TSB wasn't for my truck even though someone did it. On their TSB it recommends replacement for my current issues but they wouldn't do it.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

My son was driving to Mineral Wells to get something to eat on Wednesday 11/17/21 at 8:00 at night on FM 52 South. All of a sudden the steering wheel falls in his lap. He picked it up and shoved it onto the column and was able to steer the truck onto the side of the road without hitting anything. He looked underneath the steering wheel assembly and 2 of the 4 ubolts where missing. Where did they go - if they were ever there in the first place. The steering wheel has had some vibration and we have had the truck front end aligned and the wheels balanced. I had it in not long ago for an inspection/oil change/tire rotation. After I left the dealership the wheel felt a little loose and there was some vibration but I thought it was the road and it did stop vibrating. I also drive a Prius and I thought maybe I'm just not used to the way the truck feels. I told my son when I got home that it felt loose and he said he would keep an eye on it. Then Wednesday night the steering wheel falls off and the whole column falls out. What is this? I also drive the truck and I do not think I would have had #1 - the strength to pick the wheel up and force it back onto the column or #2 - the sense to even do that. I would have had an accident. The Shottenkirk dealership does not want to deal with the problem even though I have an extended warranty so today Freeman Toyota calls me and they are picking up the truck and will be doing the repair work. Bottom line - my son could have been killed or injured, I drove the truck Monday in Ft. Worth going 70+mph and I could have been killed or injured. How does a steering wheel/steering column loose ubolts and falls off/collapses?

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

3 times in the last few mos the BRAKE! warning came on. Nothing was causing this warning to engage. This happened again today. Another issue is when the Valdosta Toyota (GA) dealer attempted to fix the fuel pump recall on 22 JUL 2020 it was assembled incorrectly. I called the dealership and told them to come and get my Tundra because gas was dripping onto my driveway. They sent a tow truck and it was supposedly fixed and they brought it back to me in about 2 hrs. It really does run the way it did before they “re-fixed” it. Very often now when it is driving I feel something like a failing fuel pump. It fades away but it is not comfortable taking it long distances. It feels like there is a clog in the fuel system or something, although there is not. I have 33,400 miles on it today and I can’t help but wonder if Valdosta Toyota didn’t just exchange the original fuel pump with a different used one?

Potential Consequences:

Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) malfunctions sporadically while driving. Warning lights illuminate and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) disengages when activated while driving. The Pre-Collision System (PCS) is turned off and flashes with the following error messages. - Pre-Collision System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer - Auto Headlight System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer - LDA Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer This has happened twice, first right after purchasing the vehicle brand new in 2019 and most recently last week on 5/22/2021. I took the vehicle into the dealer on 5/25/2021 and they seemed aware of this issue, but stated they could not reproduce it and there were no error codes logged. I showed them the video of this happening (link below) while driving through Nevada. I was told the errors will not disable the vehicle or put it into limp mode, but my concern is when this happens while using DRCC, which almost made me drive into the back of a tractor trailer on Interstate 80. The speed limit on I-80 in Nevada is 80 MPH. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WrxgM8SJeB02eO4a6E9tbyCeAr6gRRHs/view?usp=sharing

I was told the errors will not disable the vehicle or put it into limp mode, but my concern is when this happens while using DRCC, which almost made me drive into the back of a tractor trailer on Interstate 80. The speed limit on I-80 in Nevada is 80 MPH. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WrxgM8SJeB02eO4a6E9tbyCeAr6gRRHs/view?usp=sharing

Additional Notes:

Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) malfunctions sporadically while driving. Warning lights illuminate and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) disengages when activated while driving. The Pre-Collision System (PCS) is turned off and flashes with the following error messages. - Pre-Collision System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer - Auto Headlight System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer - LDA Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer This has happened twice, first right after purchasing the vehicle brand new in 2019 and most recently last week on 5/22/2021.
