Totally forgot too, but as for my sometimes delay throttle, there is no fix for that at the moment, and the truck is up-to-date on all software. I truly appreciate that my dealer is going above and beyond in trying to find a solution to this problem and hopefully find a fix for all of us out there who have this issue! The more of us that speak up about issues our vehicles the better. This allows Toyota to be aware of the issues and hopefully fix them, which in turn makes the truck to be as reliable as the last gen in the end. I appreciate ya'll watching!
I have this same issue and it drives me nuts, I've almost been T-Boned twice because of the stall. Dealer magically could not duplicate and they didn't even log the visit against the VIN.
I am grateful for you being honest about your experience with the truck and informing us about how these problems are being addressed. I have a 2014 Tundra and it had some rattles that drove me crazy. I've been able to fix most of them, but my experience has made me hesitant to purchase another Tundra. I will be curious to see if Toyota comes up with a solution. The tailgate issue is pretty minor, but on a truck in that price range, it seems unacceptable be told that's just how it is.
It’s very cool that you and other content creators are taking one for the team, I’m definitely glad I didn’t get into a new generation tundra yet, hopefully by next year they’ll have more refinement to the redesign one. Thanks for your work.
Very true… which that seems to be the case in the groups with people saying that their dealerships just say they can’t fix it or don’t have a fix and just give them the keys. It’s also the consumers fault sometimes for taking the keys because they don’t know better, but if we are persistent with our dealers to get something fixed, then hopefully they will come around.
Im a service advisor at Toyota, and tbh you would be one of my best customers, just your patience and understanding when some times the tech can’t hear something but having to go with another person to hear it and finding a better solution. Hope it gets fixed though! I’m debating to switch from a tacoma to a tundra.
Also, @TRDJon, thanks for championing these issues on behalf of other Toyota / Tundra owners. I wouldn’t call myself a fanboy but perhaps a Toyota enthusiast. My wife is a fangirl for sure. I’d rather help Toyota find solutions than have to complain about them and I realize they can’t work with the thousands of us individually so your profile certainly helps in that regard. Keep up the great content.
@TRDJon, I really appreciate your thoroughness in these videos! Our new '23 Platinum Sequoia is due for its 5k service in the next few weeks, and (unsurprisingly) we have a lot of the same things on our list: intermittent/overheating leg extender, creaky/crunching seatback, 2nd keyfob, etc. Having this CZcams video to reference these issues to prove to the dealer I'm not the only one dealing with these problems is incredibly valuable. Keep up the great content!
My ‘22 Tundra is in for 20K service today. For the third time I have asked them to fix the wind noise issues at the driver’s and RR door gaskets. The RR is the worst especially as it has gotten colder here in NW VA. My dealer service did have a master tech ride with me during the 10k service and he heard the noises. He tried some common fixes that helped but ultimately, the noises returned. He did fix a third noise that was coming from the passenger side headliner. Acoustically, it seemed to be coming from the passenger seat or door. That was a strange one, but definitely fixed.
Hey brother thank you for everything you do and all the info you provide! I’m a 2023 limited trd off road owner and I’m having the issues! My dealer is working with me! They been great so far !
Just noticed the paint is chipped on the left and right side where the black spoiler meets paint on the top sides as well as under the release handle where plastic meets. I see it in your video too on both sides. Guessing from the heat and expanding as this was not there when I got it. Look at the top left and right where spoiler meets. 1:56 minutes in you can see the vertical scrape and no paint a little . Going to ask dealer first.

Thank you for the update! I will keep a close eye on mine, I pick it up next Tuesday, so be interesting to see if I run into any of the same issues others have. Happy to hear the dealer stepping up to the plate! Keep us in the loop on how it goes for the next visit! Cheers!
@@TRDJon me too! but I am happy with my dealer so far, I think I will have a good experience with the Truck and Dealer! Thanks for the welcome, I hope to carve out a niche with the Tundra and Channel and offer some diversity!
Please do a video showing how they fixed it when it happens. My dealer has been so unhelpful doing anything to fix my wind noise coming from the window Chanel
Toyota is not like they used to be. My 2019 Tacoma was my first Toyota and had many interior rattles along with a laundry list of unscheduled maintenance and quality issues. I hope you get them figured out on your truck. I gave up, took advantage of the high resale and cashed out. It’s someone else’s problem now. The love-hate I had with it was real. First vehicle I’ve dumped in that manner.
Your first Toyota was a 2019, how do you know the old ones were like? Lol, Toyota has always been cheap rattling vehicles. I’ve had my share of 1993-1996 camrys,previa, Tacoma, 2001-2005 camrys, tundra, 2008 tundra and even rented a 2021 sienna last summer. All were cheap and made noises lol. I’ve been telling people, no should be buying $50-80k Toyotas, just not worth it
Perhaps other family member have owned them over the years and was able to observe. I gave up on the Tacoma after a few no crank-no start occurrences, timing cover leak, power steering rack leak, EVAP canister issues throwing CEL, reduced braking performance at highway speeds and other items that remained unresolved. Our experience used to dictate the Japanese vehicle we owned were much tighter much longer than our Ford, GM and Chrysler products. The plastics, usually the tabs on the trim would be issues much earlier in the ownership cycle on those manufacturers. I’ve learned to be my own advocate when dealing with product issues. I’m convinced they are all the same. $50K plus seems to be the trend of all manufacturers, not that it makes it right. I now buy what fits my needs at time of purchase. I refuse to be brand loyal.
will see when its time. I so far have nothing to complain about that the dealer can do anything about. I can't hear any rattling but the next newest car we own is from a decade ago. drive on dirt roads and trails every day. I do note a little turbo lag sometimes and then it takes off like a rocket, will ask for that TSB when its time. (built 7/23 SR5, TRD RWD Crewmax shortbed)
I'm a Toyota fan boy as well, but there have been some quality issues for sure. I own an SR5, and my driver side window rattles, I have some weather stripping on my driver side rear window that is peeling off, and my center console rattles when going over bumps. I love the truck, but watching you and lots of other channels has taught me there were quite a few QC issues that went unnoticed.
Hey buddy, my 2023 TRD Sport just developed this issue recently and I thought it was the front windows. The shop foreman at a local dealer came out and did a test drive with me and he wanted to try a "trick" that he uses. When we came back from the test drive, he ran to one of the bays and grabbed a stick of "Door-Ease" wax lubricant, looked like a giant crayon. He applied a coating to the rubber around the door seal all the way around, both on the door seal that surrounds the entire window and on the cab seal that is fixed on the truck. I was initially putting pressure on the window and was able to get the noise to stop but that wasn't the issue. Try pulling the entire door by the handle inwards while driving and your noise should disappear if you've got the same thing as me. The rattling noise in your video is literally identical to what I had.
@@TRDJon Best of luck man. I watch your videos all the time hoping for some TSB miracle as it isn't a perfect solution but let's hope something comes out soon. I'm lighting up all the Houston dealers for this issue as the wind noise and rattles are just unacceptable on this expensive of a truck.
@@rguil15 I refuse to believe that with all of the technological advancement they can’t make cars better than 20 years ago. Software, sure. But why are windows rattling and things just falling apart?
My '23 Tundra had all of the issues yours has and more. The throttle delay was where I had to put a stop to it. Traded it for a GMC Sierra 3.0 Duramax and could not be happier. So far 14k miles and no issues. Much better than tundra and great on mpgs at 25-30 per gallon.
I went for a ride with the lead diagnostic tech at my local dealership. He went for a ride with me and then he drove it as well. Hes heard it and gonna try to get to the bottom of it. The second time they tried fixing it by add felt to the inside of the door. It went away but came back after I rolled the window down and up as I got in my neighborhood. So theyre gonna have my truck for a while and want me to ride in one of their loaner tundras to see if that window rattles as well to rule out anything along the lines of its built that way. I mentioned your page about the rattles as well and the tech was intrigued to see what your results were with it. Guess well wait to see what they come up with. Corporate has been good about assisting as well and I belive they will get a local rep to come look at it as well
I am in Maryland. Update on this, Seems that they fixed the issue. They had their diag guy look into it, he measured the gaps of the door and found them to be within the toyota spec but were on the looser side. Adjusted both front doors, and striker and the glass was no longer moving when you push on it from the inside. Theres still a little bit of rattle, just a little here and there but its over large pot holes (Maryland roads are terrible). Hope this helps. @@TRDJon
I have the 2022 Sr5. I have the window rattles on both front doors. My dealer down in south FL said the same....cant find the problem or replicate it. Been following you and hoping you get a solution with your dealer. Staying tuned
Kudos to you for pressing the dealer. I'm hoping when I eventually get mine around 2035, these things have been 100% resolved. Agree with you that customers just need to make noise and get them documented. Maybe lodging a complaint with Toyota corporate?
My absolute #1 gripe with the 3rd gen tundra is with the hvac system. You cannot set your heat to come through the dash vents. Floor or defrost only. You can hear the vents close off inside the dash so that's just how it was programmed by toyota. It's the only toyota of many I've owned that does this.
Thanks for this Jon! Excited to hear what happens after they tear your door apart for the window rattle. I have the same issue on my driver & passenger!
My tundra did the same and the dealership didn’t help much they said they gotta wait till and guy from Toyota corporate to come and they will give a me call. Please tell me how to fix this problem cry😢
My 2023 Tundra Platinum has the same issue. It's been to the dealership for that concern numerous of times. They have changed seals and took apart my door to figure out the issue. Also drove the truck without the door panel on. Its been to the body shop for realignment as well. Realigning the door did help the issue a little but the noise is still their but not as bad. They also suggested to have the body shop bend the door. The body shop didn't want to do that due to the aluminum body nd if they over bent the door they didn't want to be responsible to replace the door. The body shop did also not recommend replacing the door due it could be worse.
Had the same problem with my window rattling. They said it was actually the door rubbing, not the glass. They ordered special cam bolts to realign the doors. Fixed the rattle.
There still is a little bit of wind noise, and the weatherstrip at the top of the window still makes some noise over bumps when it’s cold. Getting there but still not up to my expectations.
Same issue with the leg extender and window. For the leg extender I learned that if I keep it ever so slightly out (imperceptible to me at least) it will always function. Something about it being fully locked back that the motor doesn't like. Give it a try and let me know!
I have had a rattle on my 2022 Tundra Platinum coming from somewhere on the passenger side that I have been struggling to pinpoint the exact spot its coming from. Sometimes I think it is the front passenger window and other times I am thinking it is closer to the pillar the front passenger seat belt is attached to. Going to guess its the window though because it sounds similar to yours. Also have the occasional wind noise on the drivers window that I only seem to notice if it is a windy day. Also starting to get a bit of a rattle from somewhere behind the dash. Will add those to the list when I send it in for the bed cover recall.
Thank you for sharing. Yea it maybe the whole window. I can really hear it when I am in the passenger seat. If possible have somebody drive your truck with you in the passenger seat.
Make sure to properly inspect after getting things fixed and they didn’t damage anything else in the process. Had a faulty windshield looked great took it home and weeks later little to no miles put on and noticed some minor paint damage but too late to prove it was them.
It seems as if these are just cosmetic issues instead of engine performance which is under warranty. But for the price of these trucks Toyota does need to step up the QC.
Good stuff man... I'm a bit of a Toyota fan boy as well... and I'm guessing god just blessed me with my '23 TRD PRO (solar octane) was first 23 PRO in that color sold in NC... but mine has been great... no issues (really wish gas mileage was a bit better) hope they get it fixed for you brother cause it's an awesome truck... oh and about keys... had to wait almost a year to get the second key.. and my dealer was a total pain(using a different dealer for my included service now) Also, don't know if you ever use bed covers. If you do check out paragon, don't get anything for saying that. It's just the one that I bought. And it is the baddest bedcover I have ever used
This is why you don't mess with a new generation first few years Also good luck with the V6 twin turbo. Can't touch the 4.7 or 5.7 v8 Just a matter of time when you gonna have problems
Every one I’ve driven has the crunchy seat and noisy door/window seals… made me want to get back in my 2016 as soon as I could. Love the way the new ones drive, don’t love the cockpit/visibility or build quality. So far!
My driver seat has the same issue with the leg extender intermittently working. The dealership had to order a new seat base and waiting to take my Tundra back for that fix. I did notice some window rattling on the driver window but it went away after I installed window rain deflectors (probably the added pressure from the deflectors placed in the window well helped). Otherwise still happy with my Tundra.
Man what a disappointment. I've had a bunch of Nissan's and have never had interior rattles and squeaks. Love our 22 4runner and 22 Armada.. Solid as a rock
@trdjon, the one big issue i have at this point is that the plastic piece on the side of the drivers seat has broken. Need to get it into the dealer to see if they are going to fix it under warranty. Also a hestitation to accelerate after coming to a stop. I went to accelerate the other day and had the pedal on the ground and the truck wouldn't move.
Just bought the 2024 Tundra Platinum and my driver seat control for the leg rest extender only worked twice. Now is broken 😅 you just hear a click that's all
I think a lot of it comes down to quality control. The bits and pieces are not being quality checked. I like the design of the new upcoming Tacoma but having found out that it will be built in Mexico it’s probably a no go for me. So now I’m looking at the upcoming 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser. Those will be built in Japan.
@@CZcamsuser1aa Michigan. It’s looks good inside and out. My only complaint is that it doesn’t have proximity sensors and led headlights. And for 61k msrp it should
My window was making the same noise on my tacoma turns out when i let a family member borrow it for a day they cracked it and didnt roll it up entirely just barely not all the way in and it made that exact noisejust had to roll it down and back all the way up fixed since
That rattling sound is also present on 2022 4Runner. They couldn't solve it or figure what was causing it. Traded it for something better not Toyota. Toyota has been dropping the ball for years ever since they've started doing alot of the manufacturing here in the US. QA/QC in the US is poorly behind that of Nippon.
I have a 23 tundra limited trd off road. Window rattle, dash rattle, seat crunch, glitchy camera activation, throttle delay, weird AC confusion button… (have you figured this out, turning the AC button on does nothing, it’s like a redundant button).
I have the intermittent leg support issue. The dealer said they took something off and lubricated it but it was working the day it went in. It hasn't worked since.
I have the saved tantra with the same seat issue and it went in for the 5000 mile service and they said they recalibrated the seat and so it was working when I left and it only worked for one day and now it’s broken again and I won’t go back until This was a 5000 mile service. I will go back into the 10,000 mile service cause the dealership is an hour and a half away so that means that I’ve had this truck since August 2023 and it’s almost 2024 and I still have the seat issues. It’s almost been wet, almost a year and they still haven’t fixed the seat issue
Hey Jon, love the videos! I bought a new platinum sequoia and my drivers seat makes noise just like your in the mid to upper back are. I know they fixed yours and I want to bring mine in for a fix, as it is driving me crazy. Is there anything you learned that I can tell the tech as to the cause of the creaking noise? Any help appreciated!
Seat crunchy noise is annoying! I bought a brand new Toyota Camry 2022 XSE and the 1st day I drove and still doing now when your body movement for left/right turn, so it is not just the Tundra but for the other models as well! what's a crapy quality! Maybe I will bring it back to the dealer to check it out as 30K miles.
I don’t seem to remember the 2004 or 2007 Tunrda’s having a ton of “Problems” like this new model. Seems like Toyota USA has put profit over quality! I will never buy another Toyota newer then a 2021 model year……I’ll gladly take inferior gas mileage!
You can look up issues/recalls with older gen’s as well by year. The new Tundra seems to still have less atm but the materials are lacking for sure compared to my first gen
I thought it was my windows but turns out it’s was the weather stripping not creating a tight enough seal. By adding more D channel seal and it fixed my issue. However, now I’m dealing with a strange “crunching” sound coming from the rear window area when turning, stopping or starting. Anyone else dealt with this? Could be the bed… or something in the window channel itself. Frustrating.
How about adding window guards should eliminate that noise. Enjoy your beautiful truck. I' wish I ' had one.😭 Love all your videos. Big fan. Monmouth County n.j 4:23
Man I bought my 23 tundra in December, almost a year and already at 25k miles. no issues. Sure do nit pick don’t ya? I’m mean, I couldn’t even see the gap difference on the tail gate even if i paused it.
That’s a drag about the quality issues ! I just picked up a 2023 Tundra Pro. My only quality issue is the LOUD high pitched whistle that comes from the drivers side mirror. Almost goes away if I put my hand over the fold crease area. Encountered this ?
Very annoying. Ive done some online research for this issue and some have taken it in, they either replace the mirror or insert some foam or rubber on the inside of the mirror. I was just travelling and had a cheap SUV Bronco rental and it was whisper quiet haha!@@TRDJon
My driver auto window up doesn't work. Every day it'll try to go up and back down halfway, you have to pull up and hold to bypass. Dealership says it's fine and nothing they can do.
Quick question I know Wescott lift is popular but what do you think of a spacer leveling kit like the one afe makes? I just want my 2023 tundra leveled on like 34 inch tires
@TRDJon Do you wish you would’ve gotten the platinum with the TRD off road that came out for 2024? Reason I ask is I’m looking at a 23 platinum and idk if I need the TRD off road package.
Have you had the seat shield break? My drivers side just cracked and I honestly don’t have the energy to deal with the dealership about it. It took them forever to correct my wireless connection apple carplay (9 months). I fear they won’t do anything. This is my 5th tundra with the same dealer for me and several Highlanders, and on our 2nd 4Runner for my wife. I love Toyota but this Tundra has me second guessing the reliability. 😢
Do you have another dealer near you? I’d just let them know ahead of time and hopefully they can order one for you prior to bringing your truck in if you have an established relationship
@@TRDJon the dealer I go to is the best in my area. I think it is the new truck that they are just as frustrated as me. Plus; I don’t have issues with the other Toyotas I have owned. And my son is turning 16 in the summer was looking to get him the new Tacoma. Not sure now. I am look you when you said it’s a love hate relationship. I contemplate just getting rid of it and going all out on a TRD Pro 4Runner and making it a beast of an off road rig. Now our 4Runners we have owned…Perfection. Keep up with the great Toyota content!!
@@TRDJon gotcha. I’m anxious to see/hear what the verdict is on it. Also, I’m considering the AFE catback or might wait for AWE to come out with theirs. Just hard to decide without hearing it in person 😬
Totally forgot too, but as for my sometimes delay throttle, there is no fix for that at the moment, and the truck is up-to-date on all software.
I truly appreciate that my dealer is going above and beyond in trying to find a solution to this problem and hopefully find a fix for all of us out there who have this issue!

This allows Toyota to be aware of the issues and hopefully fix them, which in turn makes the truck to be as reliable as the last gen in the end. I appreciate ya'll watching!
I too have a delay in the throttle at low speed. I suspect it is the transmission trying to select a lower gear before engaging the engine.
I have the delay throttle on my '23 also. Going to dealer. Thank you TRD Jon

@@TRDJon Best of luck man. I watch your videos all the time hoping for some TSB miracle as it isn't a perfect solution but let's hope something comes out soon. I'm lighting up all the Houston dealers for this issue as the wind noise and rattles are just unacceptable on this expensive of a truck.
I can’t imagine spending all that money to get anything less than perfection
One would hope
That's just not the reality of modern assembly and quantity. They get as close as they can for the pace they are producing these.
@@rguil15 I refuse to believe that with all of the technological advancement they can’t make cars better than 20 years ago.
Software, sure. But why are windows rattling and things just falling apart?
My '23 Tundra had all of the issues yours has and more. The throttle delay was where I had to put a stop to it. Traded it for a GMC Sierra 3.0 Duramax and could not be happier. So far 14k miles and no issues. Much better than tundra and great on mpgs at 25-30 per gallon.
Awesome video Jon. Really makes me appreciate my well built, solid, reliable 23 Nissan Titan pro-4x!! 💪
Good to hear!
I went for a ride with the lead diagnostic tech at my local dealership. He went for a ride with me and then he drove it as well. Hes heard it and gonna try to get to the bottom of it. The second time they tried fixing it by add felt to the inside of the door. It went away but came back after I rolled the window down and up as I got in my neighborhood. So theyre gonna have my truck for a while and want me to ride in one of their loaner tundras to see if that window rattles as well to rule out anything along the lines of its built that way. I mentioned your page about the rattles as well and the tech was intrigued to see what your results were with it. Guess well wait to see what they come up with. Corporate has been good about assisting as well and I belive they will get a local rep to come look at it as well
Love this. Great job David! Where are you located by chance?
I am in Maryland. Update on this, Seems that they fixed the issue. They had their diag guy look into it, he measured the gaps of the door and found them to be within the toyota spec but were on the looser side. Adjusted both front doors, and striker and the glass was no longer moving when you push on it from the inside. Theres still a little bit of rattle, just a little here and there but its over large pot holes (Maryland roads are terrible). Hope this helps. @@TRDJon
Yikes I can only imagine what kind of headaches the new Tacoma will give it’s loyal enthusiasts
Hopefully none of I have high hopes for the Tacoma! But we will see!
Thank you Jon for all the good information, You definitely are very helpful,Great video.
Glad it was helpful!
I just bought a used 2021 and I am glad I did. I have had it for 6 months it has been rock solid.
Nice man. Congratulations! I hope it is. Only been around 14yrs haha
I have the 2022 Sr5. I have the window rattles on both front doors. My dealer down in south FL said the same....cant find the problem or replicate it. Been following you and hoping you get a solution with your dealer. Staying tuned
Hope we get a fix!
Kudos to you for pressing the dealer. I'm hoping when I eventually get mine around 2035, these things have been 100% resolved. Agree with you that customers just need to make noise and get them documented. Maybe lodging a complaint with Toyota corporate?
That will be next if needed. Yes people need to speak up. Not only about their cars, but everything going south in this world.
My absolute #1 gripe with the 3rd gen tundra is with the hvac system. You cannot set your heat to come through the dash vents. Floor or defrost only. You can hear the vents close off inside the dash so that's just how it was programmed by toyota. It's the only toyota of many I've owned that does this.
My ‘21 Highlander Platinum is perfect. Think I will keep it. Hear lots of stories about wind noise and rattling. Thanks for your story Jon.
Thanks for this Jon! Excited to hear what happens after they tear your door apart for the window rattle. I have the same issue on my driver & passenger!
My tundra did the same and the dealership didn’t help much they said they gotta wait till and guy from Toyota corporate to come and they will give a me call. Please tell me how to fix this problem cry😢
Yeah mine still rattles on both driver & passenger. Even put in the extra lining from another TRDJ video and nothing - super frustrating honestly
Technician was rolling down the street with the music at full volume. Nope I didn’t hear a rattle.
I am working/fighting with my dealer over the window rattle issue.
We shouldn’t have to fight. So annoying.
My 2023 Tundra Platinum has the same issue. It's been to the dealership for that concern numerous of times. They have changed seals and took apart my door to figure out the issue. Also drove the truck without the door panel on. Its been to the body shop for realignment as well. Realigning the door did help the issue a little but the noise is still their but not as bad. They also suggested to have the body shop bend the door. The body shop didn't want to do that due to the aluminum body nd if they over bent the door they didn't want to be responsible to replace the door. The body shop did also not recommend replacing the door due it could be worse.
Saw your truck in Fort Walton today. Took a look at the Alpha Rex headlights and grill upgrades.
How you like them ?
Had the same problem with my window rattling. They said it was actually the door rubbing, not the glass. They ordered special cam bolts to realign the doors. Fixed the rattle.
Thanks!
There still is a little bit of wind noise, and the weatherstrip at the top of the window still makes some noise over bumps when it’s cold. Getting there but still not up to my expectations.
Im waiting at least a year or 2 for a new Taco... get the bugs out...ill still enjoy my 4Runner
Good plan man
Appreciate you Jon. Love the channel.
I appreciate that!
Same issue with the leg extender and window. For the leg extender I learned that if I keep it ever so slightly out (imperceptible to me at least) it will always function. Something about it being fully locked back that the motor doesn't like. Give it a try and let me know!
For sure will do! They have replaced the part since.
I have had a rattle on my 2022 Tundra Platinum coming from somewhere on the passenger side that I have been struggling to pinpoint the exact spot its coming from. Sometimes I think it is the front passenger window and other times I am thinking it is closer to the pillar the front passenger seat belt is attached to. Going to guess its the window though because it sounds similar to yours. Also have the occasional wind noise on the drivers window that I only seem to notice if it is a windy day.
Also starting to get a bit of a rattle from somewhere behind the dash. Will add those to the list when I send it in for the bed cover recall.
Dude yes I have a rattle coming from the dash but I can’t see to figure it out where it coming from
Thank you for sharing. Yea it maybe the whole window. I can really hear it when I am in the passenger seat. If possible have somebody drive your truck with you in the passenger seat.
Make sure to properly inspect after getting things fixed and they didn’t damage anything else in the process. Had a faulty windshield looked great took it home and weeks later little to no miles put on and noticed some minor paint damage but too late to prove it was them.
It seems as if these are just cosmetic issues instead of engine performance which is under warranty. But for the price of these trucks Toyota does need to step up the QC.
Let’s hope the new 4Runner will be built in Japan.
Good stuff man... I'm a bit of a Toyota fan boy as well... and I'm guessing god just blessed me with my '23 TRD PRO (solar octane) was first 23 PRO in that color sold in NC... but mine has been great... no issues (really wish gas mileage was a bit better) hope they get it fixed for you brother cause it's an awesome truck... oh and about keys... had to wait almost a year to get the second key.. and my dealer was a total pain(using a different dealer for my included service now) Also, don't know if you ever use bed covers. If you do check out paragon, don't get anything for saying that. It's just the one that I bought. And it is the baddest bedcover I have ever used
Nice man! I'm glad
This is why you don't mess with a new generation first few years
Also good luck with the V6 twin turbo. Can't touch the 4.7 or 5.7 v8
Just a matter of time when you gonna have problems
Already been a few years bro lol
Every one I’ve driven has the crunchy seat and noisy door/window seals… made me want to get back in my 2016 as soon as I could. Love the way the new ones drive, don’t love the cockpit/visibility or build quality. So far!
Fair enough man! Yea it drives great that’s for sure
Appreciate your honesty man!
Always. Why lie? I’d lose your viewership and trust if I did that. Always gotta tell the truth.
I can happily report that my 24' Tundra (trd pro) doesn't have any known QC issues (so far...)
lol (yet….) yea dude I hope it stays solid!
You just got it
Same on month old 24 Pro as well
@@TRDJon My 16 didn't have any real issues either and this new pro is better. Toyota really stepped it up imo !
My driver seat has the same issue with the leg extender intermittently working. The dealership had to order a new seat base and waiting to take my Tundra back for that fix.
I did notice some window rattling on the driver window but it went away after I installed window rain deflectors (probably the added pressure from the deflectors placed in the window well helped). Otherwise still happy with my Tundra.
May need to look into that if they can’t fix
Man what a disappointment. I've had a bunch of Nissan's and have never had interior rattles and squeaks. Love our 22 4runner and 22 Armada.. Solid as a rock
Have the same problem with the tailgate in fact it’s worse sometimes I have to physically pull the tailgate to release it down.
Oh Jesus
@trdjon, the one big issue i have at this point is that the plastic piece on the side of the drivers seat has broken. Need to get it into the dealer to see if they are going to fix it under warranty. Also a hestitation to accelerate after coming to a stop. I went to accelerate the other day and had the pedal on the ground and the truck wouldn't move.
Yea dude that is such a safety concern.
I had 2022 and I have 2023 tundra with Not throttles Maybe the upgrade on the truck you did is the problem
As mentioned it the video it isn't.
Just bought the 2024 Tundra Platinum and my driver seat control for the leg rest extender only worked twice. Now is broken 😅 you just hear a click that's all
So many people have this issue. It’s honestly crazy.
Should have kept your gen 1!!! 😂. Your new truck does look pretty sick though haha.
Dude at this point I may call that buyer and buy it back from him lol
@@TRDJon Hahahaha. I have a 2006 tundra access cab, it sucks with 3 kids. The room in the new tundra looks epic haha
It’s nice for sure!
My bighorn is quiet and smooth driving. I constantly tell my wife how loud her RAV4 is to my truck
Yea if your Rav isn’t a hybrid then I’m sure it’s loud.
I think a lot of it comes down to quality control. The bits and pieces are not being quality checked. I like the design of the new upcoming Tacoma but having found out that it will be built in Mexico it’s probably a no go for me. So now I’m looking at the upcoming 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser. Those will be built in Japan.
Where is your ram made?
@@sammyjammy6647looks like the 2500 through 5500 are
Made in Saltillo Truck Assembly Plant, Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico
@@CZcamsuser1aa Michigan. It’s looks good inside and out. My only complaint is that it doesn’t have proximity sensors and led headlights. And for 61k msrp it should
Mine is driving me crazy. Same platinum and same passenger door rattle
Need a fix!!!!
I Installed Window visor on my 2022 tundra and no more window noise
My window was making the same noise on my tacoma turns out when i let a family member borrow it for a day they cracked it and didnt roll it up entirely just barely not all the way in and it made that exact noisejust had to roll it down and back all the way up fixed since
You should add the color matched valance
For sure everyone wanted to see that it seemed like when I made the short so when I have the truck back, I will be adding that
@@TRDJon you should, it looks way better
It looks great
My rav4 lot of issue speakers hatch roof rails still not fix my wish all toyota build from japan same like a 4runner solid build
Good thing i'm still waiting on buying a new tundra. They have to fix all the issues.😅
That rattling sound is also present on 2022 4Runner. They couldn't solve it or figure what was causing it. Traded it for something better not Toyota.
Toyota has been dropping the ball for years ever since they've started doing alot of the manufacturing here in the US. QA/QC in the US is poorly behind that of Nippon.
I just got my 2024 tundra platinum and only one key. They said 6 months to a year probably as they are still doing 2023 orders. Ugh
My left window is starting to make noise. This is ridiculous
Dang it!!!!!!! Stock truck by chance? What’s your details ?
I have a 23 tundra limited trd off road. Window rattle, dash rattle, seat crunch, glitchy camera activation, throttle delay, weird AC confusion button… (have you figured this out, turning the AC button on does nothing, it’s like a redundant button).
@@TRDJon yes stock 23 SR5 TRD off road. 4K miles
I have the intermittent leg support issue. The dealer said they took something off and lubricated it but it was working the day it went in. It hasn't worked since.
Dang 🤦🏻♂️
I have the saved tantra with the same seat issue and it went in for the 5000 mile service and they said they recalibrated the seat and so it was working when I left and it only worked for one day and now it’s broken again and I won’t go back until This was a 5000 mile service. I will go back into the 10,000 mile service cause the dealership is an hour and a half away so that means that I’ve had this truck since August 2023 and it’s almost 2024 and I still have the seat issues. It’s almost been wet, almost a year and they still haven’t fixed the seat issue
My 19 camry some kinda from passenger side too. Not sure where its from
Hey Jon, love the videos! I bought a new platinum sequoia and my drivers seat makes noise just like your in the mid to upper back are. I know they fixed yours and I want to bring mine in for a fix, as it is driving me crazy. Is there anything you learned that I can tell the tech as to the cause of the creaking noise? Any help appreciated!
Update video going out today!
Seat crunchy noise is annoying! I bought a brand new Toyota Camry 2022 XSE and the 1st day I drove and still doing now when your body movement for left/right turn, so it is not just the Tundra but for the other models as well! what's a crapy quality! Maybe I will bring it back to the dealer to check it out as 30K miles.
As only having one vehicle, I’d be frustrated to have to leave it for anything
Oh for sure. Hopefully your dealer would give you a loaner if needed for an extended period of time. That’s what they should do.
On the tailgate, might be fixable with reseating or replacing the tailgate bushings. Just a thought.
I’ll see and ask them if possible. Thanks!
John - you mentioned in one of your videos about the wind noise coming from driver side mirror - how did you get it resolved
It’s not yet either unfortunately
I don’t seem to remember the 2004 or 2007 Tunrda’s having a ton of “Problems” like this new model. Seems like Toyota USA has put profit over quality! I will never buy another Toyota newer then a 2021 model year……I’ll gladly take inferior gas mileage!
You can look up issues/recalls with older gen’s as well by year. The new Tundra seems to still have less atm but the materials are lacking for sure compared to my first gen
I thought it was my windows but turns out it’s was the weather stripping not creating a tight enough seal. By adding more D channel seal and it fixed my issue.
However, now I’m dealing with a strange “crunching” sound coming from the rear window area when turning, stopping or starting. Anyone else dealt with this? Could be the bed… or something in the window channel itself. Frustrating.
My window rattles get worse as well turning left. Almost like it’s more pressure on it as well
❤❤❤
Hello, I have the same problem with seat. Thank you
Hope it gets fixed for ya!
Waiting until 10k for oil change
How about adding window guards should eliminate that noise. Enjoy your beautiful truck. I' wish I ' had one.😭 Love all your videos. Big fan. Monmouth County n.j 4:23
Thanks man. That may be the fix if Toyota can’t figure it out.
Man I bought my 23 tundra in December, almost a year and already at 25k miles. no issues.
Sure do nit pick don’t ya? I’m mean, I couldn’t even see the gap difference on the tail gate even if i paused it.
Picked up my 23 about 2 months ago and they left the sticker glue on the back passenger window, so it was malfunctioning.
Wow really???
@@TRDJon Yeah man. It would only roll down like halfway. Looks like we got the same truck color btw.
You Tundra looks really good ,How big is the lift you put on it and what size is the wheels and tires ?
About 3” and 37s
Ive got a buzzing noise, sounds like a bee or a vibration over 65 mph around windshield, ever hear of that one?
That’s a drag about the quality issues ! I just picked up a 2023 Tundra Pro. My only quality issue is the LOUD high pitched whistle that comes from the drivers side mirror. Almost goes away if I put my hand over the fold crease area. Encountered this ?
Dude! That’s the high pitch noise coming from mine too!
I thought it was the lift but I guess not.
Very annoying. Ive done some online research for this issue and some have taken it in, they either replace the mirror or insert some foam or rubber on the inside of the mirror. I was just travelling and had a cheap SUV Bronco rental and it was whisper quiet haha!@@TRDJon
My driver auto window up doesn't work. Every day it'll try to go up and back down halfway, you have to pull up and hold to bypass. Dealership says it's fine and nothing they can do.
...dealer is lazy man.
How many watts is your Amplifier and is it for all the speakers?
Hey Jon what’s your mpg average with those tires?
Currently it’s gone down to 15
Quick question I know Wescott lift is popular but what do you think of a spacer leveling kit like the one afe makes? I just want my 2023 tundra leveled on like 34 inch tires
@TRDJon Do you wish you would’ve gotten the platinum with the TRD off road that came out for 2024? Reason I ask is I’m looking at a 23 platinum and idk if I need the TRD off road package.
If I was buying now I would for sure. But I don’t regret not getting it.
@@TRDJon thanks for the reply!
Probably best to wait 2 more years for Toyota to figure out all these issues. Toyota kind of dropping the ball on the Tundra IMO
That means 5 years of a model. Close to refresh with a whole new set of potential problems. Hopefully they get it right soon
@@TRDJon My 24 Trd Pro built late August has no issues so far ... really love this truck !
Have you had the seat shield break? My drivers side just cracked and I honestly don’t have the energy to deal with the dealership about it. It took them forever to correct my wireless connection apple carplay (9 months). I fear they won’t do anything. This is my 5th tundra with the same dealer for me and several Highlanders, and on our 2nd 4Runner for my wife. I love Toyota but this Tundra has me second guessing the reliability. 😢
Do you have another dealer near you? I’d just let them know ahead of time and hopefully they can order one for you prior to bringing your truck in if you have an established relationship
@@TRDJon the dealer I go to is the best in my area. I think it is the new truck that they are just as frustrated as me. Plus; I don’t have issues with the other Toyotas I have owned. And my son is turning 16 in the summer was looking to get him the new Tacoma. Not sure now. I am look you when you said it’s a love hate relationship. I contemplate just getting rid of it and going all out on a TRD Pro 4Runner and making it a beast of an off road rig. Now our 4Runners we have owned…Perfection. Keep up with the great Toyota content!!
Wow. 10,000 issues? This is going to be a long video!
When do you plan on installing/reviewing the AFE scorcher?
lol when I get it back the second time. I wanted to wait for the 10K service to be complete. Literally only had the truck for like 20 hrs.
@@TRDJon gotcha. I’m anxious to see/hear what the verdict is on it. Also, I’m considering the AFE catback or might wait for AWE to come out with theirs. Just hard to decide without hearing it in person 😬
Vote with your dollars people. This is unacceptable from Toyota.
Was the window rattle investigation and fix covered under warranty?
Yes it was
