Let’s Talk About Tundra Troubles

I’ve been doing some digging and it seems like a lot of Toyota Tundra owners are facing various mechanical issues, especially with the newer models (2022-2024). I wanted to start a discussion here to see what problems everyone is experiencing and how we can help each other out.

Common Issues Reported:

  • Engine Problems: Have you faced any engine failures or strange noises?
  • Transmission Issues: Some users have reported rough shifting or delayed response.
  • Electrical Malfunctions: Issues with dashboard lights or electronic configurations.
  • Recall Notices: Has anyone received a recall notice and how was your experience dealing with it?

Reliability Concerns:

As potential Tundra buyers or current owners, it’s crucial we share our experiences. Reliability is one of the key factors in choosing a truck, and knowing what others have gone through can really help in making informed choices.

Your Experiences:

So, what has your experience been like? Are there any fixes you’ve found that work? Let’s keep this conversation going to gather as much information as possible on these issues. Looking forward to hearing your stories and solutions!

I’ve had ongoing issues with my Tundra’s engine performance. It’s been stalling intermittently, and I suspect it could be a fuel pump problem. Anyone else experiencing this?

3

Yes! My Tundra has had some rough idle issues too. It’s like it struggles to find the right RPM sometimes. Very frustrating!

In addition to engine issues, I’ve faced transmission difficulties, particularly when shifting to higher gears. Is there a known fix for this?

5

I hear you on the transmission problems! My Tundra lurches when accelerating from a stop. It’s like the transmission can’t decide what gear to be in. Any advice would be helpful!

6

Have you checked the transmission fluid levels? Sometimes that can help prevent those lurching issues.

I’ve also noticed some suspension failures recently. The ride has become bouncier, and I hear clunking noises when going over bumps. Just me?

8

Not just you! My suspension feels off too. Perhaps it’s related to those notorious shocks that everyone complains about?

I love my Tundra, but these mechanical issues are making me reconsider. It’s supposed to be known for reliability, but that’s hard to defend right now.

10

Totally agree! It feels like we’ve been sold a ‘meme’ more than a dependable truck at this point.

11

I wonder if these problems are more common in certain model years? My buddy’s 2020 Tundra seems fine, but mine is a 2015 and always has issues.

12

Good point! I think the 2007-2013 models had the most complaints online. Maybe we should try gathering specific years that are problematic.

13

You know, it might be time to start a Tundra support group or something! At least we can share some laughs about the ridiculous repairs. Anyone want to name it?

14

I’ve been having issues with my Tundra’s battery dying unexpectedly. It seems like every few weeks I have to jump-start it. Anyone else experienced this?

15

I totally get that! My dashboard display often flickers, especially when I start the engine. It’s really frustrating.

16

The wiring in my Tundra has been acting weird too. Sometimes the radio just shuts off for no reason. Have you guys had similar electronic glitches?

17

Yes! My infotainment system has frozen during navigation. I had to reset it multiple times. What a hassle!

18

I was just about to mention the infotainment issues! Sometimes it just randomly reboots. It feels like my Tundra is trying to be a smartphone!

19

After reading about others’ battery problems, I wonder if it’s a widespread issue in certain Tundra models. Anyone know if there’s a recall or something?

Not sure about recalls, but I’ve had similar battery issues. It’s a bummer, especially when I’m out camping.
