Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at slower speeds, the vehicle stalled while depressing the accelerator pedal. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the fuel pump and other fuel pump-related parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired because the parts were on back order. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.
Gas tank no longer fills completely in a single squeeze. Each squeeze of the pump only fills up maybe a .25 gallon at a squeeze if I am lucky, but typically less. This results in a complete fill up taking close to a half hour. There are numerous posts on forums such as https://www.tundras.com/threads/gas-filling-problem.38449/, https://www.tundras.com/threads/gas-tank-roll-over-valve-stuck-causes-hard-fuelling-anyone-else.42535/, and many others regarding this issue, with no response from dealers other than sorry. This sounds like a pure manufacturing issue if so many people have issues with their tanks, in a similar fashion.
Fuel gauge provides false inaccurate reading, resulting in stranded situation when fuel runs out. Toyota is aware is issue and has only issued a TSB for limited years when the problem is more wide spread. My daughter has been stranded several times.
My truck is shutting off while driving,can be very dangerous.
I PURCHASED TOYOTA TUNDRA ON 6 NOV 2015. SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN GETTING 460 MILES TO A FULL TANK OF GAS (38 GALLON TANK). THOSE NUMBERS EQUATE TO 12MPG IN FUEL ECONOMY ESTIMATES. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP ON 6 NOV2015. THE TRUCK HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE FUEL EFFICIENCY READ 570 MILE FOR A FULL TANK OF GAS. ON 13 NOV I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO FLORIDA. EVERY TIME I FILED UP THE TRUCK WITH FUEL THE FUEL EFFICIENCY READING STARTED TO DECLINE. ON THE FIRST THREE FULL TANK OF GAS, THE READING WAS 540 AND 520 MILES FOR A FULL TANK OF GAS ON 15 NOVEMBER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON OR ABOUT 17 NOV. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PLUGGED THE VEHICLE UP TO A COMPUTER. THE COMPUTER SENT OUT A REPORT THAT SHOWED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GETTING 18 MPG. THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE DOING WELL IF I GOT 14MPG. BASED ON THEIR COMMENTS I WAS NOT TO EXPECT ANYTHING OVER 15MPG OVER THE HIGHWAY. ON 25 NOV, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO FLORIDA. I DECIDED TO MANUALLY TRACK THE MILEAGE IN REGARD TO A FULL TANK OF GAS WITH THE USE OF THE TRIP COUNTER. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE ONLY REGISTERING 12MPG ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. ON A FULL 38 GALLON TANK, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE 460 MILES PER TANK. THAT EQUATE TO 12MPG. THE DRIVING CONDITION WAS 74-78 DEGREES; DRIVING ON I95; THERE WAS ONLY THREE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I USED 89 OCTANE GRADED GAS.
