| Date | Component | Summary | Severity | Mileage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | 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 | 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 |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Have notice a lot of throttle hesitation when taken off from a stop or after letting off the gas pedal and then hitting it again. A couple times it has made me feel un safe as there was on coming traffic and the truck took a second or to accelerate | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | The vehicle hesitates when starting from a stop. It feels like the engine dies. This was a previous “recall”. Vehicle was “fixed” but still happening. I’ve informed Toyota of issue. No resolution. I’ve almost been hit twice at an intersection because of this. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I am experiencing throttle lag / hesitation when starting from a rolling stop and/ or complete stop. It doesn’t happen all the time, but does it sometimes and I have had to drastically change my driving habits. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Very often when I go to press on the gas, there is a noticeable lag before my truck goes. When there is oncoming traffic it is to a point where I do not try to go in case it lags and could be dangerous. This seems to be a common problem when I talk to other owners of the same model truck. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Throttle lag/hesitstaion , from a dead stop at stop sign I attempted to accelerate , my truck went a few inches forward and no pedal response after a 3 second delay my vehicle started accelerating again | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Ever since I got this truck, I’ve experienced intermittent hesitation/lag when accelerating from a stop. I’ve reported it to the dealer several times and am always told they cannot reproduce. The problem was NOT improved after the engine replacement. This is dangerous - when pulling into traffic I cannot always count on my truck actually MOVING when I press the accelerator. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE | When accelerating from a stop the truck stumbles and does not take off. This is dangerous as people may run into you. I have asked many times at dealership if there is a fix yet and the answer is no. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Throttle lag/Hesitation when put into drive. Difficult to pull onto roadway unknown if truck will hesitate or take off quickly. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | THIS VEHICLE HAS TERRIBLE THROTTLE LAG/DELAY, SOMETIMES LASTING UP TO 4 SECONDS. THIS POSES A SERIOUS THREAT WHILE PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The truck has a hesitation to start from stop/slow state. This is concerning because when I start to accelerate, sometimes it doesn’t want to go for a 1-2 second time period making it unsafe to pull into traffic. It is sporadic and seems to happen more when I start and stop in quick succession. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE | Throttle Lag. When stopped at a stop sign, I attempted to accelerate and when I pressed the pedal, the vehicle didn’t respond. I had to release the gas pedal, wait a second, then attempt to accelerate again. This time it responded. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | POWER TRAIN | When completing a slow down, when going to accelerate there is a noticeable delay in the engine responding and before actual acceleration. This typically results in the need to press the pedal hard and suddenly it finally accelerates and at times spins the tires, almost uncontrollably. This has caused many near misses when trying to cross oncoming traffic, or entering traffic of a busy road or hwy. There have been no warning lights or indicators of any issues. This can be repeated on demand and even the dealership service tech has felt and acknowledged it. It is a common issue across the Gen 3 Tundras (2022+) models as found across many forums and owners. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | POWER TRAIN | I have experienced consistent vehicle jerking since the time of purchase, despite acquiring the vehicle brand new. This jerking typically manifests when maintaining a constant speed between 35-40 mph. Additionally, the vehicle occasionally exhibits a complete lack of acceleration. A particularly concerning incident occurred when I was attempting a left turn from a side road onto a main street with a 40 mph speed limit. Despite assessing sufficient time for the maneuver, the vehicle stalled for approximately one second upon acceleration, leaving me in the middle of the lane with approaching traffic. Similar instances of delayed acceleration have been observed when attempting sudden acceleration after a rolling stop. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | ENGINE | Engine locked up on the highway at 70mph. It’s Known issue but as it’s a hybrid they said no recall. It makes no sense as I lost power and if I was passing a semi or on a hill I would have been in trouble and risked causing an accident. I was lucky to be on a downhill and near a ramp. The hybrids need to be recalled and this problem creates a real risk. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Vehicle experiences lag or hesitation from stop. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | What component failed and is it available for inspection? The front driver-side roof seam on my 2022 Toyota Tundra developed corrosion under the paint and eventually opened enough for rainwater to enter the cabin. Water drips directly into the A-pillar area onto the side curtain airbag wiring, squib connector, and padded harness. It also reaches the dashboard and electrical buttons near the steering wheel during rain. The roof seam, A-pillar wiring, interior rust staining, and all affected components remain available for inspection. How was safety put at risk? The A-pillar contains the SRS curtain airbag system, its wiring, and connectors that should never be exposed to moisture. Continuous water intrusion over many months can cause corrosion, increased resistance, short circuits, or damage to the airbag inflator/squib circuit, which may lead to unintended deployment or failure to deploy in a crash. Water reaching the dashboard controls and electrical switches could cause intermittent electrical faults or malfunction of driver controls. These issues present a significant safety risk because the vehicle’s airbag and electrical systems may not function as designed. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed? Yes. The Toyota dealer has repeatedly observed the active leak, interior rust streaks, and bubbling/corrosion along the roof seam. The water intrusion occurs every time it rains. Has the vehicle been inspected? Yes. Toyota has inspected the truck multiple times, including by a Field Technical Specialist. However, Toyota has been unable to provide complete documentation or photos from the FTS inspection, and the underlying safety issue remains unresolved. No inspections have been done by police or insurance. Warning lamps or messages? No warning lamps appeared. The first symptom was water leaking into the cabin around March 2024, followed by rust streaking inside the A-pillar and exterior bubbling. The issue continues during rainfall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | PARKING BRAKE | The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the electronic parking brake engaged independently. The parking brake warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the parking brake control module. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 47,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 47,000 |
