    Still on your original battery? They've been known to go bad after about 3 years.

    You could also be affected by the fuel pump recall which can make your truck stumble on startup.

    My truck had a series of odd issues when my battery was dying off. My seats would routinely try to pin me to the wheel, door locks would act up when i was driving and my temp display was always off. A battery health test likely doesn't cost much if anything.

    Watch these videos, this guy had to have his fuel pump replaced. Does his experience match yours?

    Sounds like same issue I had with my 2016 with 72k miles about a month ago. Look for VIN match in "Additional Information" section. I had to argue with local dealer, but after showing this, all was taken care of by Toyota. They kept telling me that "There are no recalls for your truck", I kept telling them, "This is a TSB, not a recall". Good Luck!
