| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | The issue I’m having is the transmission/engine when it comes to the hesitation for stopping and either slowing down or just a rolling stop. Sometime I would feel like I need to precisely control the brake pedal in order to go smooth stop, but no. It feels like it’s ’jumping’ in mini burst. I have the hybrid engine of the V35A-FTS. I did check for recalls but nothing found but found a TSB from Toyota T-SB-0032-26, but my hybrid is not covered, only the non-hybrid Tundra. Please help. Thanks | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | STRUCTURE | There rear tailgate does not function. I have it in to Ourismon Toyota Chantilly for the third time. The tailgate does not come down. Issues with the tailgate started a week after I bought it in June 2025. It only has 8500 miles and has been in three times for this issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | WHEELS | Excessive outer tire wear at 15,000 miles. Dealer advised that alignment was out of spec due to “Michigan roads” but I noticed this at 10,000 miles too and it’s still occurring. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | While driving on the interstate, my sunroof suddenly exploded and glass shattered from the moveable portion of the sunroof. It sounded like a shotgun or a very loud pop. There was nothing above me on the road (i.e. no overpasses, etc) and no vehicles in front of me at the time. The sunshade was closed which saved me from pieces of glass falling on me, in my eyes, and potentially cutting me. It was very sudden, unexpected, and on a vehicle that is only ~18 months old. This was very loud, unexpected, and sudden. A potentially very dangerous situation. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I was crossing two lanes of a 4-lane highway from a stop. I floored the accelerator to cross traffic and the truck hesitated for approximately 1-2 seconds in the middle of the highway before finally accelerating. During this time I was completely exposed to oncoming traffic with no ability to move the vehicle. This is not the first time I have experienced throttle hesitation on this vehicle but this was by far the most dangerous instance. The truck has ~17,000 miles and is a 2025 model year | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | My 2025 Toyota Tundra’s air conditioning is not cooling properly. The A/C does not perform as expected, especially in hot weather. I am concerned this may be a defect in the HVAC/climate control system. I am also concerned about driver safety because poor A/C performance in extreme heat can affect the driver and passengers, and HVAC issues may also affect proper window defogging/defrosting. I am requesting that NHTSA review this issue and track similar complaints for possible investigation. Not blowing cold wind, temperature changes and blows less air as temperature changes from hot to cold or cold to hot. at one point drove around 5 miles away from home before cool air started to blow. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ENGINE | My truck engine seized at highway speeds on 4/29/2026. Machining debris seized to the engine’s bearings causing oil to dump from the engine and the engine to completely seize. This is the same issue that NHSTA forced Toyota to issue a recall on 2022-2024 Toyota Tundras. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I own a 2025 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO. Bought in May of 2025. Has around 10,000 miles on odometer. Multiple times since I purchased this vehicle I have tried to accelerate into the flow of traffic from a stop and the truck would barely make it into the roadway and then suddenly lose acceleration leaving me without power when I needed it most. This caused panic and near collision with other vehicles coming towards me. This has happened a few times on a four lane with a turning lane in the middle. This is serious flaw and could end up causing a collision. This is the only vehicle I have ever experienced this problem with. Since I purchased this problem has occurred five or six times on my Tundra and twice it happened to me on my wifes 2025 Toyota 4runner TRD PRO. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | STRUCTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | At low outdoor (40* or less)temperatures, safety feature remain off line. Side mirrors squeak during actuation open or close. Plastic modeling cracked on driver seat, tail gate stays open and doesn't reset without manually closing the tailgate by hand. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN | The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that after driving from a complete stop, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate while the accelerator pedal was depressed. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: 0111-22 (Hesitation From Stop and Surge Concerns ); however, the year and vehicle were not covered under the TSB. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 2,700. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,700 |
| May 2026 | SERVICE BRAKES | The malfunctioning part is the front left brake pads. The faulty brakes pads could pose a problem when stopping the vehicle. This problem was brought to the attention to my dealer in November 2025. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer in the spring of 2026 and acknowledged Toyota Corporate in 2026. There were no indications of problems when the vehicle was sold to me in August 2025. However, there was knowledge by Toyota of a problem with the brakes. See Toyota Technical Service Bulletin #s XXX May 6, 2024, & February 10, 2025. My case numbers with Toyota Corporate include #XXX, #XXX, #XXX. There are many videos on YouTube with the same problems as mine. There seems to be no interest by Toyota or my dealership to remedy the problem. I paid a lot of money for this vehicle and pay a sizable monthly note to listen to squealing brakes and wondering if they may fail.

| May 2026 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving approximately 10–15 mph approaching a green light, a truck in front of me suddenly slammed on its brakes. As soon as I saw the brake lights I immediately applied my brakes before any system alert activated. I stopped within approximately 3–5 feet of the vehicle in front of me. At the same time, a truck behind me was approaching quickly. To avoid being rear-ended I pressed the accelerator to move out of the way. However my vehicle would not respond. Despite pressing the gas pedal the truck remained in a braking or non-responsive state and would not accelerate. I attempted to switch between the brake and gas pedal but the vehicle still would not move. This condition lasted approximately 30–60 seconds leaving me stopped in active traffic and unable to take evasive action. This created a serious safety hazard as I was at high risk of being rear-ended due to the vehicle’s failure to respond to acceleration input. The delay was critical and could have resulted in a collision. There were no warning lights or messages prior to or during the incident. The issue occurred suddenly without any indication. This appears to be related to the Pre-Collision System (PCS) and/or the vehicle’s throttle/acceleration system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The issue has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or service center and the vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer or other parties BUT I did call yesterday and haven’t received a response so I will be taking it to Gulf Coast Toyota today [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I am seeking a case review regarding a persistent and unresolved drivetrain issue with my 2025 Toyota Tundra (non-hybrid) that began immediately following a dealership service visit and has continued for over one month without resolution despite multiple repair attempts. Since that time, the vehicle has exhibited consistent transmission-related defects including failure to shift properly into higher gears (notably not reaching 10th gear at highway speeds), RPM hanging under light throttle, delayed acceleration followed by sudden surges in power, and harsh or erratic downshifting that causes the vehicle to lurch forward when slowing to a stop. The vehicle also demonstrates inconsistent torque delivery, where boost builds but power is not transferred until a delayed and abrupt engagement occurs. These issues are most pronounced during normal highway driving conditions and significantly impair drivability and safety, particularly when merging or maintaining speed. I have brought the vehicle to multiple Toyota dealerships for inspection, where diagnostic scans have not produced any fault codes and I have repeatedly been told the vehicle is operating “within normal parameters,” despite the ongoing and reproducible performance issues. The dealerships have been unable to replicate or resolve the problem, and I have received inconsistent explanations ranging from normal operation to speculative driving pattern causes. I have an active case open with Toyota corporate, but after a month of delays, lack of diagnosis, and no corrective action, the issue remains unresolved. Given the ongoing safety concerns, repeated repair attempts, and inability of Toyota to identify or fix the defect, I am now left without a resolution & am instructed to drive the vehicle despite drivetrain issues. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | SEATS,ENGINE,VISIBILITY/WIPER | I am reporting multiple safety-related defects on my 2025 Toyota Tundra (approx. 18.5k miles, purchased 07/25). Toyota has been made aware and has not resolved these issues. The most serious defect is deterioration of the driver-side air intake housing. While replacing the air filters, I observed the airbox shedding internal material directly onto the engine air filter. This is not external debris and there are no signs of rodent intrusion, indicating internal component breakdown. This vehicle shares the V35A engine platform, which is subject to recall for debris contamination leading to main bearing failure, engine stall, and loss of drive power. The presence of internally generated debris upstream of the engine creates a credible risk of engine damage or sudden failure while driving. Toyota’s recall documentation confirms debris contamination can cause engine stall and loss of drive power. The windshield cracked during extreme cold weather. The crack originated near the lower edge at the wiper/cowl interface and propagated upward in a pattern consistent with stress or thermal failure, not impact, affecting visibility and structural integrity. Additionally, the lower front bumper trim cracked without meaningful impact, and the rear bumper failed under minimal load in cold conditions. These failures indicate material brittleness and raise concern for reduced crash protection and increased risk of injury in a collision. Other issues include driver-side seat trim cracking and premature paint and trim degradation. Similar failures, including windshield cracking, trim failure, and cold-weather brittleness, are widely reported by other 2022+ Tundra owners, indicating a potential systemic defect. Given the known engine recall and active internal material degradation in the intake system, there is a credible safety risk of engine stall, sudden loss of power at speed, reduced visibility, and increased injury risk due to compromised bumper integrity. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Center console glossy trim around the gear shift gives off a blinding glare from the sunlight coming through the front windshield. Almost side swiped the adjacent vehicle on my right when blinded. This was noted and photographed after just owning the vehicle for one day. Talked to Toyota Corporate who told me to take it to local dealership. Toyota of Fort Worth said there is nothing they can do and referred back to Toyota Corporate. Toyota Corporate has yet to respond. The start/stop is faulty. Engine does not turn off at red lights (bypass not activated). At red lights, the "press brake further to activate" light will come on, the truck will shake, then the "battery charging" warning light will come on. Dealership response is I am not breaking hard enough or I just need to learn to press the bypass every time I start the vehicle. The vehicle will automatically turn off the engine when I park the vehicle, but as soon as I take my foot off the brake (while still parked in the driveway), the truck will automatically restart. Basically, the start/stop does not work while driving but will work when parked. Per Toyota of Fort Worth Service Dept, that is normal operation. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Dead pedal incidents. At least 4 times in the 6months of ownership, I've experienced where when you press on the gas to go, there is no acceleration for approx 2 seconds. Its almost caused an accident 2x of the 4x times its happened. I feel it may be related to the transmission. Prior to this truck I had a 22' Lexus LS500 Fsport which I think also has the 10 speed trans and twice experienced similar conditions. It kind of feels like the trans is slow in downshifting, trying to figure out where it needs to be. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | POWER TRAIN | I own a 2025 Toyota Tundra SR5 non-hybrid. The vehicle has transmission hesitation/delayed throttle response after a rolling stop. When I slow down but do not come to a complete stop, then press the accelerator again, the truck sometimes has a 1–2 second delay before it responds and begins moving/accelerating. After the delay, acceleration can come in suddenly, which makes the vehicle feel unpredictable and dangerous. This happens in normal driving situations such as rolling through turns, slowing for traffic, approaching intersections, or merging into traffic. The delay creates a potential safety concern because the vehicle does not respond immediately when throttle input is applied, which could increase the risk of being hit by cross traffic or not being able to accelerate as expected. I had two close calls so far where the vehicle wouldn't accelerate through a cross traffic intersection. The issue is intermittent but repeatable and has occurred at least a dozen times over my one year ownership (purchased brand-new in March 2025). There are no warning lights present on the dash. The issues started to be apparent almost immediately and has been continuing. During a 5k mile service visit at Bobby Rahal Toyota in Mechanicsburg, PA, I explained my concern to a service advisor, and they advised me that Toyota is aware of this problem but there is not fix for it. This was approximately 6 months ago. As of today, March 30, there is still no fix for this issues that I am aware of. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | POWER TRAIN | The same thing that I reported in incident number XXX happened again recently. From a stop. I went to make a right turn on Red in a four way intersection. The oncoming traffic to my left was also stopped. When I started to proceed the truck felt like it was in like 5th gear, moving barely but no real power, then it dropped into what felt like 1st gear and lurched me forward. I almost hit a car to my right that was stopped and traveling West bound and the power loss also was concerning.

| Mar 2026 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | This is a leased vehicle through Enterprise. We have had a recall on the reverse lamps since 7-17-2025. Every time our driver take the vehicle in for service they say the parts haven't arrived or they cant get them to replace. There was no wreck or damage to the vehicle its just a simple recall we are trying to get fixed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2026 | POWER TRAIN | I own a 2025 Toyota Tundra 1794 with the 3.4L twin-turbo engine. The engine failed at approximately 53,000 miles while I was driving on the freeway in Houston, Texas. I was traveling at highway speed when the engine suddenly lost power and the truck became unsafe to continue driving. I had to pull over to the shoulder of the freeway with traffic moving at high speed. My [XXX] daughter was in the vehicle with me at the time. The sudden loss of engine power at highway speed created a serious safety hazard because it left the vehicle disabled in active freeway traffic. The vehicle had been properly maintained with regular oil changes and normal driving conditions. After the failure the truck had to be towed to the Toyota dealership, which I had to pay for out of pocket. The dealership performed an engine teardown that took about one week. They informed me that the engine block and most internal components that come into contact with oil will need to be replaced. The dealership told me the failure is not currently related to the existing Toyota Tundra engine recall. The truck is currently at the dealership and they estimate approximately 30 days to complete the repair. The dealer also informed me they have multiple Toyota Tundra trucks waiting for engine repairs and that no truck loaner vehicles were available. My understanding is that a Toyota case number has been opened for this failure and that the diagnostic details are recorded in that report. I am concerned that sudden engine failures at highway speed represent a serious safety risk INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | ENGINE | My Tundra Truck is having throttle lag. I pull out into traffic and there is no power. I put the throttle all the way to the floor and still nothing. After 2 to 3 seconds the engine starts to slowly throttling up, but very slow and no turbo. This has happened at least 15 times now since I owed it in July of 2025. That scared me so bad I now have it at the dealer for diagnostics. They had better fix it, I almost got into a wreck. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | WHEELS | Bad factory alignment caused OEM tires (Falken Wildpeak A/T, 265/60 R20) to wear prematurely. Tread depth reduced to 3/32 on all 4 tires at 10,500 miles. Clearly a safety risk as no reasonable person would expect new tires to last only 10,000 miles and; therefore, likely not check tread depth presenting significant safety risk in any inclement weather. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | LANE DEPARTURE | The contact owned a 2025 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 MPH, there was an object in the road that he attempted to swerve around; however, the lane-keeping assist feature independently activated, causing the vehicle to jerk off the road, down the median, and crash into a ditch. The vehicle was not drivable. No warning lights were illuminated. The air bags were deployed. The contact could not recall if the vehicle was towed or not. The contact stated that his head crashed into the door frame and knocked him unconscious; the contact stated that when he woke up, he was in an ambulance on its way to the hospital. The contact discovered at the hospital that he had five broken ribs and bruises spread all over his body. Medical treatment was needed, and the contact was in the hospital for a few days. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5800. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 5 Medical attention | 5,800 |
| Feb 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The tailgate will not go down when you push the bottom that is on the tail light or when you push the button inside the truck it will not go down. It makes the noise like if it is going to but gets stuck. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | SUSPENSION,WHEELS | All four tires are wearing unevenly. The outside of the tires are worn down much more than the middle and inside edge of tires. I noticed this six months ago, have called Toyota and brought the truck to the dealership and they stated there is no issue. I had the exact same Make/Model/Trim (3rd Generation Tundra TRD Pro) from 2022, and the tires wore out in the exact same manner. A safety recall was issued for this and all four tires were replaced and the alignment was adjusted to a "new standard" because it was determined that on this trim level, the original factory alignment was incorrect. This issue still hasn't been resolved as it is happening the exact same on the 2025 as it did on previous model years of the same trim. Toyota and dealership both refuse to even consider that this may be the same issue requiring a recall and replacement of tires and proper alignment. An internet search and an NHTSA search on this issue shows multiple instances of this complaint and nothing has been done to rectify. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
