| Dec 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I'm having an issue my 2022 Toyota Tundra having incredible throttle lag issues involves a delay and sudden surge when accelerating from a stop, creating a safety concern, often described as a "dead pedal". It has caused me to get into numerous situations where i could've gotten hit by other vehicles. It is so dangerous! The dealership is unable to fix it and says to disconnect the battery regularly to try and "help" the issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | The hybrid version of the Toyota Tundra uses the same base V35A-derived engine architecture, block casting, bearing design, and oiling system as the recalled non-hybrid vehicles. Toyota has not demonstrated that hybrid engines were manufactured differently or are immune to the defect that prompted the recall. In towing conditions, an internal combustion engine failure creates an immediate safety hazard even if limited electric propulsion remains available. Electric-only operation provides severely reduced power, limited speed, and restricted torque, making highway merging, grade climbing, or maintaining safe traffic flow unsafe while towing. Retaining minimal electric motion does not equate to maintaining safe propulsion under load. Additionally, a catastrophic engine failure may introduce metal debris, oil pressure loss, or thermal imbalance that can compromise shared drivetrain and hybrid coupling components. The presence of an electric motor does not mitigate the underlying defect risk or the secondary damage potential. Toyota’s distinction between hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles appears to be regulatory and financial rather than engineering-based. The same defect risk exists regardless of the hybrid system. I request that NHTSA evaluate whether Toyota’s exclusion of hybrid vehicles is based on actual engineering differences or solely on regulatory interpretation. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Vehicle failed to accelerate after I attempted to merge onto 3 lane road from a driveway. No chimes, warning or emergency braking occurred but the vehicle had no response for a second or two. I captured the incident on my dash cam. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | I am submitting this complaint regarding Toyota’s decision to exclude hybrid vehicles from an active safety recall affecting non-hybrid Toyota Tundra models equipped with the same twin-turbo V6 engine architecture. Toyota has stated that hybrid vehicles are excluded because they retain motive power through the electric drive system in the event of an internal combustion engine failure. This rationale does not address real-world safety risk and does not reflect the mechanical realities of towing or highway operation. The hybrid version of the Toyota Tundra uses the same base V35A-derived engine architecture, block casting, bearing design, and oiling system as the recalled non-hybrid vehicles. Toyota has not demonstrated that hybrid engines were manufactured differently or are immune to the defect that prompted the recall. In towing conditions, an internal combustion engine failure creates an immediate safety hazard even if limited electric propulsion remains available. Electric-only operation provides severely reduced power, limited speed, and restricted torque, making highway merging, grade climbing, or maintaining safe traffic flow unsafe while towing.

| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | There is a well-known issue with these new model Toyota tundras where there are problems with acceleration. When at a stop and pulling out from the stop, the engine and acceleration hesitate, and there is a flag of between 2 to 5 seconds before the vehicle starts moving. The gas pedal is depressed and there is a hesitation or lag of several seconds before forward movement progresses. There was a Toyota safety bulletin update that was supposed to fix the problem and it did not. Many users are still reporting the same problem and it’s just as bad as it was before. This creates a massive safety issue when pulling into traffic or trying to increase speed to keep up with the flow of traffic when initially pulling out. My truck specifically is experiencing this anywhere from one to three times a week. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | I've had a recall procedure done to correct an acceleration hesitation, but the problem still persists. When accelerating from a stop into traffic there is a significant acceleration pause before the pickup actually accelerates. I've had several close calls to being hit by oncoming traffic because of the inability to merge into traffic as planned due to the acceleration pause. The pickup currently has just over 56,000 miles on it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | There is a throttle lag when I depress the acceleration pedal, the vehicle doesnt not move for a period of time ranging from 0.5 seconds to 3 seconds. This is more prominent when performing a creeping start where the vehicle has not fully stopped. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE | When the radio is turned completely off to reset the Bluetooth the entire dashboard lights turn on and a malfunction warning is displayed that XYZ system is not working to call dealer to schedule appointment. There is an issue with the windows not rolling up either. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | I get throttle lag/hesitation most often when starting to go from a complete stop. This has happened many times. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | On a cold start, or if you drive with the vehicle in normal mode, from my understanding, vehicles are now fly by wire, the computer has a lag that if you attempt to pull out in front of someone, the truck will simply fail to go, then after a delay.It will take off like a rocket, to circumvent this issue, I have found.If you drive in sport mode, it tends to have less of a delay. But it's a serious safety concern.Along with the other issues with these vehicles, I have had a few close calls, where the throttle response was incredibly delayed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | Throttle lag or hesitation after a stop, and is more frequent after stopping on an incline. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | When at a stop, pushing the gas pedal to go, the truck hesitates. Almost like the truck dies then all of the sudden takes off. I have had multiple instances were i was almostnT-boned. Dealer said that is normal for a vehicle with turbos. We don't experience this with my wife's Kia. No warning lights appear. Just to be clear the truck hesitates at almost every stop when trying to accelerate. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Throttle response occasionally drops out. Lag when trying to accelerate from a stop, then kicks in and the truck surges forward. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Truck regularly experiences throttle lag leading to dangerous/hesitating entry into traffic/intersections. Either each occurrence, after 1 to 4 seconds the vehicle will lurch forward hard after the pause. It has also happened when accelerating to pass on the highway. This also happened with the original and replaced engine. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Throttle delay is extremely dangerous and has nearly caused numerous accidents | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | Throttle lag/hesitation | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Vehicle occasionally experiences throttle hesitation. This generally happens from a stop when starting to initiate the throttle. This issue has nearly caused an accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | Taking off at a stop and merging in traffic or any complete stop there's a lag or dead spot in the gas pedal,a severe at times hesitation before it finally proceeds to move,a dead spot between hitting the gas and actually taking off.scary at times.,this truck had this lag before engine replace and only now has 5,000 miles on new engine and still does it.This happens every time you drive it.not a particular incident or when it's the truck is cold or warmed up. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Attempted to shift out 4-wheel high back into 2-wheel drive. On the dashboard, both 4 wheel high and 4-wheel low were flashing yellow/orange. Put truck into park to clear, nothing continued to flash. Put truck into neutral, nothing continued to flash 4 high and 4 low. Turned the truck engine completely off and started again. Both 4 high and 4 low continued flashy. Put truck into drive, 4 low and 4 high now became a solid orange/yellow, no flashing. Drove truck a mile and a half down the road and lost complete control of the steering. Ended up in ditch with several thousand dollars of damage. Contacted dealer where purchased. Explained what happened to the Manager of Toyota service department. He claims it has happened on other Tundra's, says it happened on his truck. Offered no explanation or fix to the problem. | Crash: Yes Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Hesitation when pressing the accelerator from a complete stop. When I press the accelerator from a complete stop there is no movement for several milliseconds leading to some close calls when entering traffic. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Acceleration lag when starting out | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | On Aug 1st I started noticing a slight shake in the vehicle on the way to work in the morning. I can best describe this shake or shutter like an imbalanced tire or a misfire. On the way home I noticed that the shutter was only present around 1,100-1,300RPMs while under gentle acceleration. About 6 miles from home I noticed the engine would bog down from time to time and shortly after I could hear a slight metallic sound. It was not until I got into town where I was set a slower road speed that I could clearly hear that the metallic sound was a rod knock. I have the hybrid model of the new Tundras, and on that last bit of stretch getting home in town the truck never threw an error or even understood that it was having an engine failure. Towards the end it would kick the engine on and off trying to flip flop between hybrid/EV mode and ICE mode. And some of those instances I think the engine was stalling out. Mine engine never seized up fully, but if it had I question whether or not the ECU would have understood this to disengage the engine from the drivetrain to propel itself only on the MG. As of today (12/5/25) my truck is still down at the shop because of this engine failure. Toyota originally covered a short block replacement under warranty. After the dealership assembled that new engine they are having nothing but one problem after another. After about a month to a month and a half of fighting the new engine Toyota's FTS got involved, were they ordered the new engine to be disassembled for investigation. They found that the new engine had completely destroyed itself, and they claim the cause was from the technician not applying assembly lube on the camshafts. After that Toyota blamed the technician at the dealership and refused to help fix my truck (which is well within the drivetrain warranty). I now have an open arbortation case with the NCDS for this. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Car stalls from stop during acceleration. There are times when there is no response from throttle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Vehicle suffers from throttle lag when accelerating from a stop. Issue does not occur often enough to reproduce at dealer service center but has almost resulted in an accident multiple times over the past 3.5yrs. No warning lamps or messages when the issue occurs. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | When trying to accelerate from a stop this truck lags and hesitates to the point of stalling almost when pulling into or crossing traffic. I have been in many near miss collisions due to the hesitation and lack of response. This has been going on since I’ve owned the truck in 22 and the dealership failed to address it or even acknowledge it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
