| Date | Component | Summary | Severity | Mileage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN | When accelerating from a standstill, the car hesitates for 1 to 2 seconds after I press the accelerator pedal. This is a safety concern, especially when merging onto the highway (we have stoplight-controlled merge lanes where I live), where accelerating the vehicle is essential to a safe merge into traffic going 65+ mph. There have been no warning lamps. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ENGINE | Bad hesitation when first depressing the throttle. I drive the truck in the Sport + mode and it does help. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | The gas pedal has no response when coming to a stop and pushing on the gas pedal. Multiple times I come to a stop, push the gas, no response, 1-3 seconds later; the vehicle jerks forward. On occasion it has nearly lead to an accident and I do not feel safe in my vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN | When pulling out on the highway I have lag in the powertrain | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ENGINE | Advanced driving system - Truck with leave a lane unprovoked and will fight you to recover manually. I have another Toyota with the same system (2024 Grand Highlander) and it works perfect. Not confirmed by dealer yet. It will be next week. Not inspected yet. Automatic lane centering just stops working, display changes to "not tracking'. Blue lines disappear on display. Truck has done this since new. I was very disappointed when I first used it since I expected it to work like our Highlander. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | STEERING,POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Ive been noticing a significant lag sometimes when I press the gas pedal. It last just a couple seconds. This could possibly become something bigger. Will update of it gets worse. Also the cruise control doesn't hold the set speed it stays 1 or 2 miles under. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ENGINE | Continue getting a 1-2 second delay when accelerating from a dead stop after pushing on gas pedal with normal acceleration- not just an “lead foot” acceleration trying to quickly clear my intersection & merge into traffic. Happens when engine is at normal operating system or just pulling out of my neighborhood onto a 45mph road on a normal temp day. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN | Throttle lag When I accelerate from a stop, such as at a red light or stop sign, after I gently press down on the gas pedal, there is consistently a 1-2 second delay before the truck accelerates. This can cause potential delays in getting through an intersection, in turning in front of oncoming traffic, and getting going in traffic. This happens consistently since I’ve owned the vehicle since the summer of 2025. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | There’s a delay in throttle response. Especially when making a turn across traffic. Throttle would not respond for at least 1 to 2 seconds. Even at full throttle the truck did not respond while cars were coming towards me. This has happened to several tundra owners. Check Facebook tundra group and you’ll find others with same issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Unknown. The truck often lags when the accelerator is pressed. Coming from a stop seems to make it worse. It takes 1-2 seconds more than you would expect as normal for the truck to start to move. This gives you enough time to think something is wrong and cover the brake to prevent you from entering an intersection if there is a problem. The result is that you end up halfway into an intersection slower than you expected, possibly causing an accident. It seems like a combination of electronic throttle control lag, and the 10 speed transmission never knowing what gear to select causes the issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | While trying to quickly accelerate there is a very noticeable lag between accelerator pedal and vehicle response. I would say ~250-500ms, which in certain situations is extremely dangerous. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | STEERING,SUSPENSION,WHEELS | All four tires on my 2025 Toyota Tundra experienced severe and abnormal outside edge wear at approximately 13,000 miles. The vehicle was purchased new and maintained according to manufacturer recommendations, including tire rotations every 5,000 miles at authorized Toyota dealerships. An authorized Toyota dealership inspected the vehicle, documented the abnormal tire wear, and performed alignment measurements. The dealership issued a written recommendation stating that a four-wheel alignment was needed to extend tire life and/or correct drivability concerns. Alignment measurements showed values outside specification. The tire manufacturer reviewed photos and documentation and confirmed the wear pattern is caused by vehicle alignment and not a tire manufacturing defect. The condition affected all four tires and required premature replacement, creating a potential safety concern due to reduced tread depth and handling stability. The issue appears to be related to steering or suspension geometry rather than normal tire wear. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Unacceptable fuel economy. EPA stats 18/23, I have no been able to manage over 14.6 MPG. Truck has 16,xxx miles on it. I am seeing online this is very common. Something needs to be done about to blatant over fabricated numbers. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | Throttle lag, was stopped at a stop sign and had an opening to go, when I pressed on the gas the truck went as normal and then completely stopped accelerating. By the time it accelerated again it jolted the truck and was narrowly missed by cross traffic. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I was driving down the highway about 5 minutes, it was 34 degrees outside, family in car (with baby). No cars in front of me at all, didn’t drive through an underpass, didn’t hit any potholes, and out of nowhere the front panoramic sunroof exploded. It sounded like a gunshot in my truck cabin. Thankfully I keep the sunshade closed or else glass would have flew into my pregnant wife’s face and my baby’s face. I believe most glass was captured in my sunshade, going to the dealership first thing tomorrow morning. Not excited on what the response will be, google shows a lot of mixed reviews. This is a 5 month old truck, very frustrating to have this happen to my first brand new vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Unintended acceleration. When you stop the truck, and have the brake on, the rpms go down to idle ~650. As soon as you lift the brake, without touching the accelerator, the vehicle starts ramping up the rpms and moving. On level ground it will go to 1000 easily before you have to stop it. It will pull up a grade even while towing my boat. If you're in a line a traffic, say at a traffic light, and the light changes, traffic moves and the car ahead takes off their brakes, and you do same, the truck starts moving faster than the vehicle ahead without touching anything. It's idling too fast without the brake and doesn't stay at idle once the brake is off before you push the accelerator. First the dealer told me everything was "Normal" - it's supposed to do that. I've been driving vehicles since 1962, so I think I know what I'm talking about. They told me to call Toyota. Toyota started a case. They took it in for an factory inspection because I think this might be related to a non highway collision with a bldg, I had shortly after I got it, I'm not sure. I put into park in a parking space but apparently it didn't engage, only into reverse. I was looking for something and the truck started backing up and hit the gas station bldg close behind. The anti-collision was off, because you have to turn it off to tow. And I hadn't turned it back on yet. This truck has way too many audible alarms and very annoying, especially when backing or exit the vehicle. I don't need to know that I'm out of the vehicle. | Crash: Yes Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | The vehicle has a recurring safety-related defect where there is a long, unpredictable pause (1–3 seconds) between pressing the accelerator from a stop and the truck actually accelerating. This hesitation occurs when pulling away from a stop sign, traffic light, or after braking to a stop in traffic, and is not normal throttle response or turbo lag. During this delay, the engine revs slightly but the truck does not move, creating a dangerous situation where the vehicle fails to respond when expected, especially in intersections or when merging. After the pause, the truck often surges forward abruptly, which can cause jerking and loss of control. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN | There is a lag in my 2025 platinum. I'm able to reproduce it and it's generally when I'm coming to a slow/stop (say a yield or a stop sign) and at the last minute I decide to go for it and hit the gas pretty hard. The delay is incredibly obvious.. like 2-3 seconds where NOTHING happens. Trying to roll through a yield and the machine decided it was just not going to respond to throttle for 2-3 seconds... | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | when u press the gas the speed hesitates sometimes | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | WHEELS | Tires have 15,000 miles on them and are the stock OEM tires/wheels. They have excessive outer tire wear and need replaced from this. Inner tire wear is on par with the center tire wear. Alignment is confirmed to Toyota OEM specs. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Cherokee County Toyota sold me a truck that has consistently had recalls. Brake lights not working, back up camera not working, media console not working, evaportating coolant. I took it to Cherokee County Toyota several times with zero issues resolved. I then left them a negative review on google due to their lack of professionalism and honesty. They then sent me a text stating they refused to fix any of the safety recalls at their dealership due to the negative google review that they fully deserved. A vehicle without brake lights and cameras is a safety hazard. I explained that my children ride in this vehicle and it put my whole family at risk and they needed to service it. They still refused. Multiple calls to service managers, sales manager. Nobody ever called me back.This dealership should not be allowed to sell vehicles that have known consistent safety issues and then refuse to fix them. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | Throttle lag truck stalls out when you try to go from a stop. It will cause an accident if this is not fixed. Also engines keep blowing up with out the hybrid system your truck will not have any port to get over to a safe spot on the road. Toyota is replacing engines but the ones they are putting in the trucks are the same ones that are failing. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Several times when accelerating around traffic or cutting across the highway to work I have been nearly t boned when I'll step on the gas and the truck hesitates or does nothing. It usually hesitates for 3 to 5 seconds and then starts spinning tires or other times it will just start lightly accelerating no matter how much gas I give it. It's dangerous because the vehicle is so unpredictable and will eventually result in an accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | I’ve noticed that my Toyota Tundra occasionally fails to start moving from a complete stop at a light or stop sign and hesitates. I’ve pressed the gas pedal all the way down, but it doesn’t respond. It usually takes a second attempt before it will move from a stopped position. This first happened during my first week of owning the truck and has occurred a few more times since. I didn’t think much of it at first, but it happened again while I was stopped on an incline in a right-turn yield lane. I released the brake, and when I pressed the gas pedal, nothing happened—the truck even felt like it was rolling backward. I floored the gas, and after a few seconds, it finally took off. I started looking online and found that many others have reported the same issue. There’s even a YouTube video from someone who experienced it: [XXX] I plan to take the truck to the dealership to have it checked out, but this definitely feels like a significant safety concern. I’ve made no modifications to the truck; it’s completely stock with no tuners or aftermarket adjustments.
