Wiper problem #1

The high speed on the wipers is absurdly under powered. It is truly pathetic. The equivalent of low speed on every other vehicle on the road. You can not continue to drive in even a minor downpour, safely. Those who insist on doing so will cause, or be involved in crashes. Having owned 4 generations of Toyota vehicles amounting to several models, this downgrade is really, very shocking. We have always found our Toyota's to meet or usually exceed safety features. There is no way that they sincerely believed this was "okay" or were unaware. It exceeds "obvious" failure by quite a margin. They simply willfully ignored it!.

Wiper problem #2

My 2024 Toyota Tundra 1794 edition, VIN [xxx], is subject to Toyota safety recall 25ta06, interim 25tb06, NHTSA recall 25v322, concerning reverse lamps that may become inoperable. The recall was announced in may 2025, but a repair remedy has still not been made available for my vehicle. The truck is primarily used for family transportation, including trips and nighttime driving. I experienced a minor, low-speed property-damage incident while reversing in a poorly lit garage area. Visibility behind and beside the vehicle was limited, and the truck contacted a garage-door support column before the garage lighting came on. The incident caused minor cosmetic side damage. There were no injuries, no structural damage, no police report, and no insurance claim. I previously advised Toyota that I had experienced an issue related to the recall. Toyota opened customer experience case [xxx]. Toyota offered to keep my truck at a dealership indefinitely and provide alternate transportation until a remedy became available, but it could not guarantee a comparable Tundra 1794 or provide an estimated repair date. Toyota later opened repurchase review case [xxx]. I promptly provided the requested documentation, but despite repeated telephone and email follow-ups, Toyota has not provided a meaningful review timeline, vehicle inspection date, or final determination. My primary complaint to NHTSA is the extended period without an available safety remedy and the continuing risk to owners operating affected vehicles. I respectfully request that NHTSA review the adequacy and timeliness of Toyota’s recall remedy process for this defect. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Wiper problem #3

My Toyota Tundra's windshield spontaneously cracked while I was sitting at a stop in the vehicle. The crack started below the hood line and there are huge number of Tundra owners having the same issues with Tundras manufactured from 2022 - 2026. Toyota refused to acknowledge the issue but it is widespread on the internet.

Wiper problem #4

While driving on the highway at approximately 65mph my sunroof spontaneously exploded. It was as loud as a gunshot and glass rained down into the cab as well as “exploded” upward and outward raining down behind my truck while driving. This startled me and all passengers. There were no vehicles ahead of us or in the oncoming lanes on the other side of the separated highway. No foreign debris was found in the truck and there was no other damage anywhere other than the obvious glass lying everywhere. I previously complained to the dealership during routine service that the sunroof made a rattling sound during light bumps. The routine service was completed and I was given the response of “our techs couldn’t reproduce the sound(s) so we can’t help with that today”. They assured me that I could leave the truck and they would look into it “when they could” but that I’d have to leave the truck in the lot and not be given a loaner vehicle.

Wiper problem #5

While driving on interstate 30 in a new vehicle (3 months old), the sunroof exploded without contact from a foreign object. Went to nearest dealership, and their inspection found "no foreign material or signed of impact found. " my wife and I were in the vehicle and no object struck us. If the sunshade was not closed the glass would have certainly sprayed in our faces and caused a significant accident that would have killed us and other motorists around us.
