Toyota is Buying my Tundra back *lemon law*

[@richardoaks3597]

My 2022 tundra I bought in March was a pain in the arse compared to my 23 tundra I purchased in October. Big improvement in quality, but still some teething issues with my 23, such as my rear sliding window vibrating when rolling down and exterior window trim pieces on the back glass peeling. But compared to my 22 that had the connectivity issues with apple car play and screen resetting etc… none of that. I agree with you that Toyota can and should improve the tundra and all their vehicles for that matter. I watched a video of Mike Sweers talking about a change in plastic standard that they made regarding unseen plastics that they would typically not install in vehicle’s due to blemishes or being out of spec but due to Covid and parts shortage they lowered the standard to use these parts because they were out of sight and still useable. I think that thinking and process has definitely impacted the quality. Anyways enjoy your 4Runner. I had a 2020 and that also had some teething issues and I tried ford and chevy in between my last two tundras and I’m back in a tundra so that should tell you something. I would take the minor issues I’ve had cosmetically over serious mechanical and electrical issues I had with the Chevy and ford.

[@triggerhappyreviews]

Brilliant comment

[@stanpersful4723]

I have had a lot of electrical issues in my f150 big screen. Sucks paying upwards of 90k for something of that quality.

[@richardoaks3597]

@vinhdoan3629 unfortunately they haven’t been able to fix. They have attempted it twice and after the second attempt when they replaced the actuator. It helped and sometimes when the weather is warmer there is no issues but when it’s colder or wet it vibrates. I haven’t brought it up yet because I dont want to waste another two days with them to examine it again and then ordering parts and bring it back.

[@richardoaks3597]

@@stanpersful4723 yeah that sucks I’ve been there before. My 22 f150 had the whole 12 inch screen replaced due to blacking out. Battery replaced due to leak developing. Rear diff developing a nasty leak. Driver side a pillar not being flush with windshield, you could see the nuts and bolts behind the a pillar. Weird stuff with the windows not wanting to roll down but I figured that out from a google search. It’s too bad because ford makes a good looking truck that is very comfortable. But the ten speed transmission in that truck annoyed me the way it slammed around and hunted for gears.

[@marknh3312]

23 F150 owner after having an 11 Tundra with 300k rust out to the point it wouldn’t pass inspection. Tacoma owner the previous nine years. Both trucks only required normal maintenance. Was a very happy Toyota owner. Didn’t consider new Tundra based on all the used 22s on the market, issues and dealers still marking up in July of last year. Very happy so far with my F150 (12k miles) both mechanically and tech wise. Have no issues with the 10 speed transmission. My only issue is certainly some of the build quality could be better - some body seams around hood aren’t even. But that’s it.

[@Victor-rz9du]

Yep, I just bought a 24 4Runner TRD Pro. Last of its kind, bulletproof 1GR-FE and A750 transmission and made in Japan. My first brand new car ever and it’ll probably be my last

[@classicdisaster3766]

Glad to hear Toyota is taking care of you man. You sumed the truck up perfectly- fragile. Thats exactly how I feel about my 2022. I haven't had any major issues, just small fit and finish issues. I will probably end up selling it or trading it in. I've owned 3 brand new Toyotas. The 3rd gen Tundra has been my worst Toyota experience hands down.

[@SeanPasell]

Interesting. I bought a 22 Pro and took delivery of it in September of 22. I’ve taken it to SC to watch my son graduate from USMC Paris Island, round trip from RI was 1800 miles. Drove back down to NC Camp LeJune for ceremony gradation from SOI. 1500 miles round trip. I drive all over New England for work and thank God I haven’t had any issues related to the engine at all. The one issue I have had was a leak in the moon roof. I noticed a musty smell in the cabin and found the rugs under the driver seat were wet. Not soaked but wet. The smell got more intense. I took to dealer and they found that the drain tubes that are located in the roof, which actually drain down the side of the door panels and out below the truck, had come apart and leaked. They replaced all the carpeting and did a full test for mold etc. they also replaced my shaky headliner as well. That solved the issue. No issues since. I did fall victim to the cracked seat issue and they replaced that recently. And finally I had to pay for two new tires of the 4 (Toyota paid for 2) at 28k miles due to the uneven wear. Now we have the recall and Toyota will pay for the other two. I ended up buying an extended warranty recently before my Pro hits 36k. Cost me $2k for additional 100k miles Platinum warranty just because I know if something does happen it’s gonna cost me double or triple that if out of warranty. Noise wise I do agree with this reviewer. Occasionally I’ll hear things but they seem to go away and are mostly rattles related to that cheap plastic stuff he’s talking about. But man does this truck move. Wow. Only thing there is that if I’m driving 60-65MPH and need to accelerate quickly there’s a slight hesitation and then it kicks and goes. Lastly when I did replace my tires with Falken WildPeaks my MPG dropped from 18.9 on average to 16.3 right now. I learned that even though I replaced them with the “same” tire it’s not exactly the same. The ones I received are heavier with a deeper tread and I believe that the OEM tires are designed for better fuel economy and ONLY available when you first purchase the vehicle.

[@jamesdoesburg6128]

First time viewer I can’t speak openly but your comments are spot on! I tested all Tundra’s back in late 2021 early 2022 did EPA certification as well as Darrell ability we knew that this truck had issues but thought Toyota would fix them, as time has passed nothing seems to be much better! Not what we assumed Toyota would do. I will say this post Covid all auto manufacturers are not as good as previous years I own a 2022 Tacoma 4x4 it’s the last of what Toyota used to be. I wouldn’t buy a new Tacoma to save my life!

This is why I made the choice to buy a brand new 2021 Tundra 3 years ago. They told me to wait and get the new one and boy I’m glad I didn’t. So far I’ve put 45k trouble free miles. And expect to get a lot more. The new trucks are definitely not build like the old ones they are definitely fragile and will most likely age very poorly from a mechanical standpoint and an interior standpoint. Everything post covid is a pile of crap and it’s almost every single model they have now with the exception of the 4Runner and they still haven’t fixed the limited 4Runner suspension problem they will always leak and cost about $5k to fix

I’ve been very pleased with my 2023 Capstone. I use it for daily highway use, have been off-road hunting, and have taken several trips over 1K miles each trip. It pulls a trailer very well, has plenty of power, and drives very smoothly. I don’t have and haven’t had any rattles, creaking, or plastic issues. The only issue I’ve encountered is that the automatic front air dam is currently malfunctioning and stays deployed. I haven’t had a chance for the dealership to address it, but it isn’t hindering me driving it either. This is my 4th Tundra and I won’t purchase another brand ever again.

[@theirthereandtheyre2947]

[@bradsteelguy9140]

I bought a 2024 SR Base 2WD in Dec. Had to order it from the factory. I was always a chevy guy. I bought the Tundra because I needed a truck and thought it would have "less" problems than GM and Fords I keep reading about. It now has 14k miles. Been using it as a work truck and pulling trailers, etc. It is an awesome driving and towing truck. I have made multiple 200 mile trips with a loaded trailer and its a dream to drive. I can't even feel the transmission shifting. And it's the detuned 348HP too. The 5 point rear suspension is rock solid. I've heard about all of the horror stories about the Tundras and your video seems the most honest. I don't doubt any of your issues and I'm sure it sucks. So far I haven't had any major issues with wind noise or anything. I've noticed a few minor things like if you only put a couple of gallons of gas in it, the fuel gauge doesn't show it for a while and doesn't change the mileage range. And I did notice a little flexing on the door handle if its windy. No problems with the infotainment or connecting of the phone. So far I would say I'm happy with it. Knock on wood. I bought the 80k warranty anyway. Time will tell.....

[@jooroth18]

I think people keep pointing to design flaws, and for most of the truck id disagree. What I see are mainly QC issues. The V35A engines that come from japan for lexus didnt have these problems. The Lexus 10 Speed from japan also never had these problems. Hell, even the G16E GTS from japan doesnt have these problems and id say that engine is under way more stress. This is a problem with Toyota's US Manufacturing plant for the Tundra, its clearly been a long time since they have had to transition to a new vehicle, and im willing to bet its the first time for many employees there. Same problem i think will happen with the Tacoma. The only things i think are not QC issues is the seat panel and radio, clear design flaws that need updated parts/software update. Eventually, i do think this truck will be reliable, once QC issues are resolved.

[@wayneanderson991]

Thanks for the information! I have owned 3 Toyota Camry and currently have a Rav4 with no issues. I also have a 2017 Ram 2500 CTD that I am considering trading off for a new truck. I have been looking hard at the Toyota Tundra and have seen way too many issues with this new generation truck to take a chance and spend $70,000 to buy a problem child. The direction technology is going with the new generation trucks, I think I'll sit on the side lines and watch for a few more years. My Ram has been trouble free. I just thought I might give a Tundra a try but my better judgement has kicked in and I'll pass. If I was Toyota I would think twice about engineering and building any more pickup trucks in the U.S.A. based on how this Tundra has turned out so far.

[@JohnSmith-00700]

I am glad that they purchased it and refunded you. I am always weary of the first 2 year models of any new generation of vehicles. I had a 2019 tundra that got totaled at 8k miles, so my next choice was a 2020 tundra trd pro. I couldn't be happier... I wasn't tempted to upgrade to the latest generation, not even the slightest. I am hoping that they will consider bringing back the V8 as an option, and improve the quality control all across the board. It is disappointing to see how the standards have gone down, and I hope it is not due to DEI, like everything else seems to be going down to the gutters in this country.

The Ford is definitely a maintenance queen, but even that has been very reliable for me. I test drove a brand new Toyota tundra today and I was very disappointed. I don’t think I’ll be trading in my raptor or selling it anytime soon.

[@CobraChamp]

I'm sorry for all of your problems. I have a '24 Platinum and it is fantastic! I have not had a single problem that you've mentioned and I am one super picky customer. I hope you get a great new vehicle.

[@rickeyb450]

People rag on Ram quality but my 21 TRX has been absolutely bullet proof. I punish that truck and it has given me no issues. Get another V8 and leave those twin turbo V6s alone.

[@bobbyb.1743]

Ole!👊🏻

[@brkbtjunkie]

2006 Land Cruiser owner checking in, 245k miles on the clock and still going strong. Taken it up several until trails in W Va and it’s a ton of fun. Tows 6500lbs, the 2UZ is an aircraft certified bullet proof engine. These newer engines are all about meeting those emissions regulations. They are trading reliability and performance for less emissions.

[@triggerhappyreviews]

Where do you wheel in WV? I planned a trip last year to hit some trails around Summerville lake but it flooded that week of course.

[@2bond007]

Yup, my 02LC has 350k miles and is still purring like a kitten! I've owned it for 310k miles too! Everything works except the "D" light on the dash. Even the sunroof still works and doesn't leak!🥰

[@boobaloo009]

30+ yr Toyota buyer here. Last weekend bought 2024 Nissan Frontier Pro4x. Imagine that.

[@Kwhopperfan]

I wouldn’t trust anything after 2020. The quality parts and assembly went to crap along with way too many changes. As a 2022 Nissan Frontier owner, and who owned a 17 and 18 Titan and titan XD and two older frontiers (better) but now owns a 2012 Pro4x Titan. Don’t expect miracles from your Frontier, I’m trading ours in this weekend due to undiagnosed intermittent transmission issues that the recalls and software updates didn’t fix. It’s always been finicky from day one with random bangs and jerks and hunting but what showed up at the 30k mile Mark was intermittent torque converter lockup at idle in gear that stalls the engine out or lunges you forward. So my wife won’t drive it and I’m over it. Hopefully ours is just a one off, there is a class action lawsuit against Nissan for the 20 and 21 models years for similar though

[@mx4073]

I have watched so many folks be soooo disappointed with the 3rd gen Tundra It will be a long time for Toyota to get there reputation back. I ended up buy a 2021 1794 TRD off road and I agree with you it does what I need it to do as a truck and I'm fine with that. Good luck brother and thanks for being honest.

[@sandovalpaul]

I’ll stick with my 2006 Toyota Tundra double cab V8 4x4.. no car payments no issues just simple maintenance

[@1eyedwilli3]

Went to the dealer to look at upgrading to a new TRD Pro Tacoma. No thank you. It looks terrible. The inside feels cramped and everything feels cheap and there is way to much plastic. ON TOP of the Dealer wanted $9,000 OVER RETAIL. Never. No thank you Toyota. I can buy the truck outright. And no thanks.

[@30realdeal]

@@1eyedwilli3 they are known for cheaply built plastic interiors, and literally cheap plastic anywhere you look and touch. Not to mention terrible design.

[@hpkntnw]

I fully believe if Toyota switched out their oil recommendation to a 0w-30 or 5W-30 all these issues would go away. 0w-20 is simply too thin for the heat created by a twin turbo engine in an almost 6,000 lb truck. Ford had issues with the coyote in gen 1&2 with the 5W-20 getting too thin and spinning bearings. 21 model year they went to 5W-30 and no more spun bearings.

[@edl7454]

One cannot follow dealer guidelines. OIl Change intervals should be cut in half and only really quality synthetic should be used Pennzoil Ultimate or Amsoil along with a factory filter. EPA mandates require manufacturers to do this kind of wizadry.

[@cwservices3839]

What's their guidelines 10k oil change 0w-30? I think you can request 5w-30 @ 5k

[@pullingguard5435]

I went from a 2015 tundra which I loved to a 22 Ford f150 lariat powerboost. So far best truck I’ve owned no real headaches or glitches but it’s a new truck to me.

[@tommyterryrosarich]

21 tundra here. Last v8 im keeping mine.

[@mikefoehr235]

I knew the turbo v6 would be not as reliable as the v8. I got my 20 Tundra and with 54 000 kms now i have 3 issues. One dead battery....one cracked windshield and bot covered under warranty. 3rd issue was just last week...seized rear driver side brake caliper. That was a surprise but it may have been defective from new. These issues were pretty minor. The v8 and 6speed are very reliable and no issues at all. The fuel economy of the v8 is not terrible. With reliability, I can absorb the cost of fuel.

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

Man. Toyota better get it together. They are having way too many issues, build quality is down, cheaper materials, reliability is way down. They should have continued to offer the 5.7. The 5.7 matched with tue 10 speed would get decent fuel economy and have good acceleration. It did well with the 6 speed so I think it would do better with the 10 speed. I remember when Toyota products had zero door panel flex when you closed the doors. I can't believe how bad this truck is considering how long it took to actually bring it to the market. The previous tundra lasted from 2007-2021 with just a minor refresh. You'd think with all of the time it took to bring this to the market it would be class leading at something,. Its sad that Toyota cut so many corners when it comes to quality and materials. They literally need to go back to the drawing board with this truck and use netter materials and simplify the powertrain.

[@PhotoColin]

Man I’m so glad you finally got help from Toyota. I kept up with your initial series… crazy to think that was 2 yrs ago. They should have sorted this out then. But I know lemon law varies by state. Glad you got it sorted man, you deserve it!

[@triggerhappyreviews]

I appreciate that!

[@RycastFitness]

For $70k or even more, this is absolutely unacceptable. Sorry this happened to you.

[@triggerhappyreviews]

Thanks. Yeah people deserve better trucks.

[@Matt-wl8zd]

I watched you from the beginning because I wanted a tundra myself. Decided to go with a used F150 Hybrid to save 30k vs a new Tundra. It's been great so far, no issues and averaging 24mpg. I agree the Tundra looks amazing, every time i pass one i turn my head. Hope your next vehicle is better. PS: I wonder how much you being a youtuber influenced their decision to buy it back and would they have done it if it were not for your reach and negative publicity for them.

[@triggerhappyreviews]

Thanks for watching and enjoy your truck. To answer your last part, I don’t know. I’m very small potatoes. My videos don’t get the views of the big channels. That being said, I do think it’s a small factor.

[@mclark2330]

I kept my 2018 longer to see what the new style owners would uncover. Looks like I’m keeping it a bit longer until Toyota works things out.

I’m happy with my ‘22 4x4 CrewMax SR5 TRD Sport. Almost 20k miles… Don’t have the problems mentioned except the infotainment screen asking for the passcode every so often. It’s annoying. It’s our go-to vehicle for family trips. Drove it to OR, WA, AZ, and NV so far (I’m from CA). Loving it! I’m probably one of many who lucked out on the first year of remodel. It seems like issues are often found on higher trim models.

What's the dealer oil changing 0w-30 synthetic or 5w-30? Are you light footed, tow? Let turbos warm before drive?

[@zimplemeh]

@@cwservices3839 I'm up here in Redding, CA. So, I go with Lithia Toyota. No idea what oil they're using. I believe they're using whatever the user manual required. I'm usually chill to save gas. But I hit the limiter every now and then. I haven't towed anything yet, but that's about to change. Yes, I do warm it up when I can, especially in the winter. Otherwise, will just drive it easy until it gets warm.

[@VincentAnthonyE]

This is why I don't buy first model anything. I'm glad you did so I can find the sweet spot and it's usually after a few iterations or at least 3-4 years into a model. Tbh I want to buy the last year or two of a model before a refresh. But I don't come from money so what do I know 😂

[@ORuelas702]

Best to hold on to the old Toyotas. There is a reason the tundra v8 5.7 and 4.7 and the 4runner v6 were in production for so long. Reliable and dependable. Yeah mpg sucks but that’s very minimal compared to these new vehicles coming out these days.

My son's 23 Tundra's driver's seat control's cheap plastic cover broke after two day's ownership. I then checked my 23 RAM's seat control piece. It wassolid as a rock. You likely couldn't break it with a hammer if you tried. I used to be a Toyota fanboy. I'm 72 and had many, many vehicles in my lifetime. My 23 RAM 1500 Limited 5.7 Hemi E-torq is the best vehicle I have EVER had, by far. Perfect fit and finish, rattle free, wind noise free, super quiet ride. 20.5 mpg vs. my old Tundras 15 mpg.

[@steamloco1705]

Congrats , you just made the wisest choice, get one the latest 4R 5th and will never go wrong with it. Toyota is betraying the philosophy which makes them the best motor company , simple is better , less is more , hope to return to that roots before become like Honda , an Asian Stellantis.

[@cwqrpportable]

Congrats Keith on your success with dumping the Tundra. “You wouldn’t trust cross country camping with the Tundra”. That says a lot! I cross country camp with my Ford F150 Powerboost hybrid with great success. It’s a beautiful truck, reliable, fuel efficient and the 7.2 kwh propower onboard generator is a bonus for dry camping. For my business (quarry and open pit mine) I run a whole fleet of Fseries trucks and they work superb. As you can imagine, they get pounded on. No mall runners here! Good luck with your FourRunner.
