2023 Toyota Tundra Brakes Problems

Your truck has been experiencing delayed throttle response for several months, and recently went into limp mode with a check engine light and loss of power warning. The dealer found turbocharger failure but cannot replace it due to an active engine recall on your vehicle, leaving your truck at the dealership with no confirmed repair timeline. The turbocharger and potentially the entire engine may need to be replaced as part of addressing the recall.

Your 2023 Tundra experienced an engine failure, and the vehicle caught fire while being driven. The fire caused a complete brake failure, forcing the occupants to exit the moving truck. Your truck was a total loss, and Toyota's investigation was unable to determine the cause of the fire.

Your truck's collision warning system has falsely detected obstacles that aren't there, causing your engine to suddenly lose power and brake hard while driving at highway speeds. When you try to accelerate back to traffic speed, the engine doesn't respond properly, creating a dangerous situation. This has happened three times in six months. The issue likely involves recalibrating or servicing the forward collision avoidance sensor system and checking the engine's power delivery response.

Your truck is burning oil faster than normal—consuming 4 quarts every 1,700 miles. During testing, the engine misfired, requiring spark plug replacement, and later the truck began stumbling at idle. When you pressed the throttle, multiple warning lights flashed including the brake system, pre-collision system, and traction control—and the braking system appeared to lock up, preventing the truck from moving. The issue likely involves faulty spark plugs, a malfunctioning brake system sensor, or a defective engine control module causing multiple safety systems to malfunction simultaneously.

There are many incidents, issues, and critical safety problems with my vehicle. I have had multiple repair attempts, with multiple Toyota Car Dealerships, and have continued to have the same amount of problems, and issues with this vehicle.

Your truck has an open safety recall issued in August 2023, but your dealer says replacement parts aren't available to complete the repair. You've had the truck since April 2023 with only 3,000 miles and are concerned about driving it safely while the recall remains unfixed. The recall involves the service brakes and engine, which are critical safety systems. Resolving this will require your dealer to obtain the necessary recall parts and perform the manufacturer-mandated repair.

Your 2023 Tundra is subject to a recall (24ta07) because the engine may stall while you're driving. You've been told by the dealership that this issue cannot be fixed. If Toyota cannot resolve this stalling problem, you may want to request a vehicle replacement.

Your truck's brakes are making random screeching sounds that startle you and other drivers, causing unsafe reactions like misapplying or not applying the brakes. The braking performance is inconsistent—sometimes the brakes feel hard, sometimes they don't engage, and sometimes they feel like they're always on, especially when weather changes. The dealership acknowledged this as a known issue but stated they cannot fix it. Resolving this will likely require brake system diagnosis and replacement of brake components such as pads, rotors, or calipers.

Your 2023 Tundra has a known safety issue affecting the brakes and fuel system that Toyota has been aware of since August, but you haven't received clear information about when or how it will be fixed. You're concerned this unresolved problem could create a dangerous situation for you, your family, or other drivers. A permanent repair or replacement vehicle may be needed to resolve this serious safety issue.

Your adaptive cruise control isn't downshifting the transmission when going downhill, causing it to ride the brakes continuously instead. This causes the brakes to overheat, making your truck shake violently and become difficult to control. You have to manually turn off cruise control and downshift to stop the shaking and prevent brake failure.

Your Tundra is making an abnormally loud noise when you reverse, and this has happened multiple times. The dealer diagnosed the issue and determined your brake system needs replacement, though the repair hasn't been completed yet. The manufacturer has opened a case to investigate. Fixing this will likely involve replacing brake components such as pads, rotors, or other brake system parts.

Your Tundra's brakes have been squeaking loudly since you bought it, especially right after startup and in rainy weather — and the noise has gotten worse over time. Your dealer diagnosed brake failure and told you the part is recalled and covered under warranty, but the replacement parts haven't arrived yet. The fix will involve the dealer replacing the failed brake components once the recalled parts become available.

Your parking brake and service brake system may not be functioning properly. You should have a certified technician inspect both your parking brake and main braking system to diagnose the specific issue. This will likely involve a complete brake system inspection and testing to identify which components need repair or replacement.

Your brakes have been making a loud screeching noise since about a month after you bought the truck in November 2022, and the dealer hasn't been able to fix it. Additionally, your engine developed a serious internal problem in April 2024—mechanics found metal shavings inside the motor, which required a complete engine replacement. Brake pad replacement or resurfacing and engine repair or replacement may be needed to address these issues.

Your brakes have been squeaking since you bought the truck new, and the problem persists even after dealership inspections, recalls, and cleaning. You're concerned about safety, especially in wet conditions, since the squeaking returns within days of service. The issue may require brake pad inspection, rotor cleaning, or replacement to fully resolve the problem.

Your brake system is making loud noise that persists even after brake pads and rotors were serviced twice at a Toyota dealership. Two independent shops (Wheels Work and Midas) were unable to resolve the issue and indicated something else may be wrong with the brake system. The noise returned the day after the dealership's third service attempt. This may require deeper diagnosis of the brake system components beyond standard pad and rotor replacement.

Your 2023 Tundra is subject to a brake recall that was issued in August, but the Toyota dealer in Daytona, Florida has not completed the repair. The brake system issue remains unresolved despite the recall notice. You should contact the dealership to schedule an appointment to have this recall work completed as soon as possible.

Your 2023 Tundra has been recalled for a potential brake system issue (recall 23TB09), but the repair parts weren't available when you tried to get it fixed at the dealer. You've been waiting longer than seems reasonable for the manufacturer to supply the necessary parts, and you've contacted the manufacturer about the delay. You haven't experienced any actual brake failure yet, but the recall repair remains incomplete due to parts availability.

After having your brakes serviced at an independent shop, your front passenger brake pad is constantly rubbing against the rotor. Your Toyota may require the ABS system to be recalibrated at a dealership using specialized diagnostic tools — a service that independent shops may not be equipped to perform. The constant brake pad rubbing could increase fuel consumption and put extra strain on transmission and driveline components. Fixing this will likely require either having the ABS system recalibrated at a Toyota dealership or having the brake system inspected and adjusted to stop the pad rubbing.

When proceeding ahead from a stop with no one in front of me, after traveling ahead at a normal pace, the emergency braking system activated and the truck came to an abrupt stop. This occurred after traveling about 5 feet and luckily the person behind me did not rear end me. After this panic stop the truck then proceeded ahead as normal.
