| Jan 2026 | ENGINE | Vehicle experienced sudden engine shutdown at highway speed. While traveling at highway speed, the internal combustion engine shut off without warning. The hybrid system temporarily allowed propulsion, which enabled me to move the vehicle out of traffic and off the highway shoulder. After stopping, the vehicle would not restart for approximately 20 minutes. During this time, the vehicle was disabled and would not turn on. After the waiting period, the vehicle restarted and operated normally. No warning lights or messages were present prior to the shutdown. This event created a dangerous situation at highway speed and posed a significant safety risk to myself and my passengers. The vehicle is a 2022 Toyota Tundra Hybrid (i-FORCE MAX). Since the incident, the vehicle has been driven approximately 10,000 miles without recurrence, but the cause of the shutdown was never identified. I am concerned this event may be related to known engine defects or reliability issues reported for this model year. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN | Throttle lag/ hesitation after complete stop | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ENGINE | There is a lag when you accelerate. Many people notice a throttle lag and I’ve asked the dealer to fix it, but they said it is not a recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN | I have throttle lag or hesitation when pulling away from a stop sign or atop light. I have almost been hit several times from it. Something needs to be done. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | When I came to a stop, everything seemed normal, but when I went to take off again the truck just… didn’t go. I pressed the gas and it kind of sat there, like it was thinking about moving but not actually doing it. The engine stayed running, no sputtering or dying, but it wouldn’t engage. It took a solid 10–20 seconds before it finally decided to move forward, and even then it felt hesitant. The whole thing was weird and definitely not how it should behave. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ENGINE | The motor blew up. This is the second motor. Toyota hasn't approved a new motor even though their recall says i need one. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ENGINE | The motors oil pressure is low. If something goes while I'm driving it can be dangerous to others and myself. It has not been confirmed with mine, but it has been a known issue with this year of the tundra's and has a recall for some of them but not all. Hasn't been inspected by others and no lights have came on yet but running really low pressure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while her partner was driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The driver was able to pull over; however, several attempts were needed to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure occurred while driving at various speeds, and that recently, when the vehicle was restarted after stalling, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. There was no warning light illuminated during the failures. The local dealer was contacted but the contact was informed that the dealer could not diagnose the vehicle until July 2026. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V381000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 34,000 |
| Jan 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Truck fails to accelerate from a stop. This is an intermittent issue. Dealer failed to duplicate. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My 2022 Toyota Platinum hesitates on acceleration. This happens constantly. I pull out of my neighborhood street onto a busy street, the truck moves forward then hesitates in a busy lane, then will surge ahead. This leaves me exposed to oncoming traffic. I have just missed being hit many times. This happens at intersections, where it will hesitate and the car behind me almost hits me. Thank you. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Many times while pushing the gas pedal the truck lags and wont move and I have almost been hit by another vehichle trying to enter traffic. This happens when the engine is warm and has been running for some time. A couple of times the truck has done this and I have had to hit the gas pedal to the point of mushing it all the way to floor and the truck finally responds and then takes off out of control and fish tails. Very Scary!! Most of the time its just a lag while coming to a stop at a stop sign and then push the gas pedal and there is a throttle lag before the truck moves and then is abrupt. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | Engine hesitation from a stop. Engine takes 1-2 seconds to respond to throttle pedal input. Creates timing safety hazard when attempting to cross oncoming lane to enter roadway. Puts vehicle at risk of not clearing the oncoming lane in time to avoid collision. Intermittent and haven’t been able to reproduce with dealer. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN | Pickup has regular but not every time throttle delay. For 1-3ish seconds and then it CHARGES forward. Making pulling onto a busy road a bit of a gamble. Seems very very unsafe. I’ve had the new engine put in and still the same issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | Have severe throttle lag and/or hesitation when giving gas from a stop. It causes a unsafe condition when you give it gas to go and it hesitates so bad I have almost gotten into accidents. This has been happening since new. Currently 30k miles on the truck. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN | Severe throttle lag and hard shifting when accelerating from a stop. This has caused several near misses when the vehicle will “stall” in the line of traffic causing lack of acceleration. Often happens when stopping at a four way stop or other stop sign followed by immediate acceleration. Was able to replicate it several times and happens on its own once a week. A widely known issue for the newest generation of Toyota Tundra. There are no safety lights, notifications or error codes. The vehicle did this both before a complete engine replacement and after. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | The accelerator pedal is unresponsive at times when attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, or a rolling stop, while traveling below 5 mph. This presents itself as a "dead pedal" type situation where no matter the accelerator angle given by the driver, zero power output at the engine is given. This can be logged via electronic data logger, and clearly the throttle angle does not change when this scenario presents itself. This can present a serious safety concern as the truck becomes a sitting duck, creeping out into a intersection with no more than idle power. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I have had multiple occasions where I have pushed on the gas pedal to accelerate from a stop and the truck does not go. This has almost caused accidents when attempting to pull out into traffic. This happens almost on a daily basis. The lag/pause can be very short (0.5 seconds) or very long (2-3 seconds) in my experience. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ENGINE | This has been an ongoing issue since the vehicle was new. When accelerating from a stop, when I push the gas pedal, there is a hesitation. There is no throttle response that can last up to 2 or 3 seconds which is dangerous. There have been times that I have tried to pull into traffic from a parking lot and the truck will not accelerate then jerks when it finally responds. This happens daily. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | In certain situations when stopping briefly and then accelerating the pedal is dead. For a short amount of time the accelerator does not work and then it launches the truck forward aggressively. There has been a few instances when I am turning left and the truck does not move and I am stuck in the middle of oncoming traffic before the truck suddenly lurches forward. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | STEERING,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE | My 2022 had a new crate engine put in at 26,000 miles in approx June 2025 (told me it would be 2 days but in less than 24hrs the service advisor called and told me it was completed) and from the second I picked up my truck and started it at the dealership, I heard a loud, fast ticking noisy sound coming from under the hood so I popped my hood and it sounded like a diesel engine and as I started driving I felt a weird popping/vibrating noise when turning either right or left at slow speeds and it felt like there were no shocks or motor mounts or something was bent and the rear end was skipping and making a loud thud when slightly stepping on gas pedal and Toyota said it's all normal. It also lost all power while I was driving 2 days after I picked it up from engine replacement along with the continuous surging forward when taking off from stop sign or red light. My front seat is cracked and they refused to fix it under warranty, my brakes squeal so bad and they said they ordered parts under TSB but it will be months before they come in, it's now been 7 months and still nothing. I will not drive further than 10 miles from my home Every time I get in this truck and put it in D, I fear for my life and when I put it in P, I breathe a sigh of relief. AutoNation Toyota in Weston, Fl replaced my engine and I truly believe that whoever put my new engine in, didn't put it back together correctly and damaged the suspension/steering system as well as the new ticking engine that is so rough. My new 2nd engine needs another engine. I feel like this truck is going to get me killed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | When pressing the gas pedal, there multiple times where my vehicle has lag time in acceleration, which can lead to a delay of getting on the road and potentially causing an accident. There have been no manufacturer warnings and no warning lamps illuminate when this occurs. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | Whe starting from stop sign, driveway, red light, etc. the acceleration hesitates as-if the vehicle is attempting to learn to build up for the acceleration. Several times exiting these places, vehicles have had time to near my truck in traffic and cause a motor vehicle crash. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | Throttle lag out of nowhere which puts me and family in danger in random times | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | 2-3 second throttle lag after pressing pedal from rolling stops and sudden lurches from engine when it decides to go. From dead stops - 2-3 second throttle lag as well and acceleration lurches that are so strong that sometimes it will chirp the tires when it decides to finally go. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Truck lunges forward while driving ar highway speeds as if you have been lightly bumped in the bumper by someone. You need to give at least a 6 car car distance between your truck and car in front to prevent a crash. Truck has also been shutting off while exiting the highway. Will get "Put into "P" Start engine" as well as, "Stearing Pressure Low" alert on dash in instrument cluster information cluster. Also at low speeds in bumper to bumper traffic is shifting hard from 2nd to 1st gear. Truck was drop off to dealer on 12/18/25 after asking them to take it due to feeling unsafe driving it for 3 days. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
