Center console glossy trim around the gear shift gives off a blinding glare from the sunlight coming through the front windshield. Almost side swiped the adjacent vehicle on my right when blinded. This was noted and photographed after just owning the vehicle for one day. Talked to Toyota corporate who told me to take it to local dealership. Toyota of fort worth said there is nothing they can do and referred back to Toyota corporate. Toyota corporate has yet to respond. The start/stop is faulty. Engine does not turn off at red lights (bypass not activated). At red lights, the "press brake further to activate" light will come on, the truck will shake, then the "battery charging" warning light will come on. Dealership response is I am not breaking hard enough or I just need to learn to press the bypass every time I start the vehicle. The vehicle will automatically turn off the engine when I park the vehicle, but as soon as I take my foot off the brake (while still parked in the driveway), the truck will automatically restart. Basically, the start/stop does not work while driving but will work when parked. Per Toyota of fort worth service dept, that is normal operation.
The hood design of the 3rd generation Toyota Tundra causes severe solar glare back into the cab and this is a known issue. While I could site many instances of it casing a problem, the most recent scenario caused me to nearly run a stop sign and hit a pedestrian. The glare is so blinding it’s impossible to drive without holding your hand up to block it. Countless Tundra owners have complained about this but because it hasn’t been cited as a safety issue, Toyota isn’t responsible. This is requiring owners to put black decals on their hoods or add tint strips to the bottom of the windshield to block it. I have sensitive eyes, so my windshield and windows are already tinted and it doesn’t touch this. Make Toyota fix this! I have not had my specific situation investigated simply because it was already such a known problem. I’m voicing my concerns so all Tundra owners can drive safely. They charge a mortgage for these things and I’m scared to drive it at certain times of the day. Cameras can’t capture it the same but the pictures show it fairly well. My hand got hot holding it this way.
Loud whistling noise from side mirrors at various speeds even when radio is turned up.
