- A dealership in DFW replaced the drive seat frame in truck due to metal creaking while driving. After the replacement everything was fine until my friend hit her toe against driver side seat frame covered by felt tape. From the factory the truck comes with plastic frame guards to prevent injury to rear passengers but Toyota has failed to fix the issue several times. I recently found out that all Tundra's with powered seats have this safety issue as I was talking to dealer employee who recently purchased a 2024 Tundra then we walked the lot and every single higher trim Tundra with powered seats all have this felt tape over the metal substructure. The felt tape provides no shock absorbing properties resulting in bruising when a rear passenger tries to exit the truck wearing open toe shoes.

The rear passenger window trim will come loose and could fly off and hit other vehicles. I have brought this back to the dealer twice and they claimed to have replaced it but it is still malfunctioning. Upon MY investigation it seems like the actual door was not hemmed properly thus not allowing the window trim to seat and stay seated. The driver's side rear door does not have this issue. Furthermore, I have checked new vehicles in the dealer's inventory and found the same issue on multiple NEW vehicles at North Park Toyota in San Antonnio, TX.

On numerous occasions when I am at a stop sign leaving work and trying to accelerate onto the 4 line highway my vehicle acceleration has a delay in it causing me to not properly accelerate into traffic almost causing me to get hit on numerous occasions. I have complained about this situation to the dealer and was told once that it was normal for the delay and once that it is just a V6 engine so that is why the delay. I am sure that I am not the only person having this issue is a problem and will be the result of many accidents if not addressed.
