The 2019TOYOTATUNDRA carries 100 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 5 crashes, 1 fire, 6 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall 4/5 rating, with 4/5 front crash, 5/5 side crash, and 4/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2019 TUNDRA is unknown or other with 15 filings, followed by fuel/propulsion system (14) and electrical system (11). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 10 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle, the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 51 investigation files overlapping the 2019 TUNDRA, and 1 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page, a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

My toyota tundra is having issues with the fuel pump. It is saying I am using e85 fuel when that is not the case. As a result I am having issues with cold start. There are recalls however I am being told that my truck is listed among them despite having the same issue.
The contact owns 2019 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to respond immediately. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle stalled, and approximately thirty seconds later the vehicle worked as intended. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced, and codes were in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 80,000.

I bought this car in January 2019, and even though it had 210 miles, they sold it to me as new. I think they did something illegal because I have the purchase contract and they didn't put that information there. They put 10 miles and I didn't notice at the time. Also, I have the window sticker and it says the car comes standard with a remote key for entry, and the dealer removed it to make it without one. I'm ashamed I didn't report this sooner. It must be a form of consumer theft, something they only do to protect themselves.

I had to have the steering rack assembly replaced in my vehicle due to a leak. This is one of the complaints and a recall but I never got a notification.
The built-in navigation system in my 2019 Toyota Tundra is dangerously outdated and cannot be updated over-the-air (OTA). Recently, it misrouted me into a remote, unfamiliar area with no cell service and incorrect road data. If I hadnât had enough fuel, I could have been stranded in potentially life-threatening conditions. Toyota continues to install these systems with outdated maps and no OTA functionality, while presenting them as part of a reliable, intelligent driving experience. This is not a minor tech issueâit is a safety failure. Drivers are led to trust a system that cannot be trusted. I want to be clear: this experience has completely changed how I view Toyota as a brand. What seemed like a small, fixable flaw turned into a moment of genuine danger. That moment told me everything I needed to know about Toyotaâs prioritiesâand Toyota is no longer in my future because of it. I urge NHTSA to investigate this as a potential recall-level issue.

When refueling this vehicle, gasoline will flow out of the filler tank onto the ground and will shoot out onto the person filling the truck up. Have had the charcoal canister replaced twice and this has not fixed the problem for any length of time. Dealer claims that vent tubes are getting clogged up but cannot explain how or why they are plugged up. Last repair lasted one week before fueling issues showed up again. The gas shooting out of the filler hose onto people standing nearby and onto the ground is an extreme fire and explosion issue and is an environmental issue. This problem seems to be a common issue based on internet search for Toyota Tundra refueling issues. There has been a service bulletin published by Toyota on this issue. I have been having this problem for over 2 years.
