Date Component Summary Severity Mileage
May 2026 POWER TRAIN The vehicle is either unresponsive or has a severe throttle delay from a stop or a very low speed, creating is a major safety issue. This could leave the vehicle in a position to not be able to accelerate, and risks becoming a hazard to other traffic, particularly at intersections. Understanding that a TSB is available for a transmission code reflash to resolve this issue, dealers are denying the repairs stating that they are unable to reproduce the issue in their limited test drives. It is not possible to predict when these severe hesitations occur, so reproducing the issue occurs on an unknown basis. Crash: No Fire: No Unknown
May 2026 EQUIPMENT The contact owns an Autokato Mid Rise Scissor Lift. The contact stated that while using the Autokato Mid-Rise Scissor Lift, the ramps failed to function as intended. The contact inspected the ramps and determined that the ramps were partially welded. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact was informed that the Autokato Mid-Rise Scissor Lift had been discontinued. Crash: No Fire: No Unknown
May 2026 ENGINE I was turning left from a stop sign on to a busy road. Immediately after beginning to pull out, the engine stalled and left the truck powerless in the middle of the intersection. I almost got t boned from vehicles traveling both directions. The truck eventually regained power a few seconds after the stall. I had my wife and toddler with me and the situation could have been bad. I no longer the trust the truck which sucks being that it has 2500 miles. Searching online, many owners have had this happen and Toyota refuses to do anything meaningful. This needs to be recall before someone gets hurt, or worse. I’ll be taking the truck in but am doubtful anything will come of it from the dealership.

Apr 2026 SUSPENSION While Driving at 75mph there was sudden violent shake of Truck and it was not until I reduced the speed to 55 that it stopped. Then it happened again for the second time in the same day. After a week it is still doing the same sporadic but the truck feels jumping. Took it to the Toyota Dealer and they discarded any tire balance issue and they said they need to recreate the issue in order to be able to diagnose the problem. My concern is safety and that sudden violent shake loose the control.

Apr 2026 SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE The Anti-Collision System / Automatic Braking System engages, even when turned off. This is a major safety hazard and nearly got me into an accident. With the ACS disengaged, poking the front end of the vehicle out into oncoming traffic while trying to merge, the vehicle locks up completely, disabling the vehicle, rendering it a sitting duck in oncoming traffic.

Mar 2026 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL After stopping at a stop sign and waiting for a clearance, the truck did not respond to throttle input for what felt like 2-3 seconds. The temperature was about 80 degrees, and I had already been driving for 30 minutes when this happened.

Feb 2026 ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM The engine in my 2026 Toyota Tundra has significant throttle delay/lag when its cold - even if I let it warm up - it still has significant delay in throttle response - the truck has poor light throttle response and then lurches (even with the most minute progressive throttle input). This almost caused an accident where I nearly got T-boned because the vehicle crept a bit and then suddenly lurched quickly. The vehicle was also hesitant to reach 60mph (even though it was warmed up) after about 10 minutes of driving the vehicle started operating normally. I have a concern for safety everytime I drive this vehicle.

Feb 2026 UNKNOWN OR OTHER The tailgate remote operation is inconsistent. it usually does not work and the tailgate has to be lowered by randomly applying pressure in different spots. Nothing seems consistent. Once it opens then it may work a few times then goes back to not working. This is true regardless of the "switch" used (Key fob, button on rear of vehicle in tail light assembly, button on the gate itself, switch/button on dash). I had it in the dealer 2 months after taking deliver and they told me it was fixed now a couple months later it is happening again.

Feb 2026 VISIBILITY/WIPER While driving, the sunroof suddenly exploded without any external cause. The temperature at the time was approximately 42°F. The glass shattered throughout the interior of the vehicle, with pieces falling into my clothing and all over the cabin.I immediately contacted the dealership and was advised to visit the nearest Toyota location; however, there wasn’t one nearby. I had to cover the vehicle with a tarp to continue my 4 hour drive home. Thankfully, I was traveling alone—had my family been with me, including my [XXX] infant, this could have resulted in severe injury, as glass would have fallen directly on the car seat.The dealership later inspected the vehicle and found no evidence of any outside influence or impact that could have caused the explosion. I’m deeply concerned about the safety implications of this failure and would like to understand how Toyota plans to address this situation, as well as ensure this does not pose a continued risk to other drivers.

Jan 2026 UNKNOWN OR OTHER Sometimes at a red light or stop sign, I go to take off and the truck will hesitate for a second or two. I press the pedal down aways and then it lurches and takes off slowly. Been happening regularly.

Dec 2025 ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM The truck, randomly experiences hesitation, and or lag when pulling out from a dead stop. Twice it has been so bad as to nearly cause an accident. It also causes out of control acceleration as you don't know when if if the truck will actually accelerate or how much.

Dec 2025 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL There is an inconsistent lag in the response from the accelerator. It proves to be extremely unsafe when it occurs while trying to join traffic or cross traffic. A few times now this lag has nearly caused an accident where my vehicle would have been t-boned if the oncoming vehicle hadn't slowed down quickly.

Nov 2025 STEERING,STRUCTURE,WHEELS According to Toyota, the 2022-2026 Tundra is compatible with 35x11.5 tires. These tires were installed by the dealer before my purchase. However, during turns, the tires heavily rub against the sway bar. This issue may be specific to the TRD upgrade package, which includes an upgraded, thicker sway bar. After driving for just 500 miles, noticeable rub marks have developed on both sides of the sway bar and visible marks on the inside of the tire. Tire rubbing can lead to faster tire wear and may even cause the tire to break during operation if the damage continues over time. I have reported this to Toyota Customer service and all they say they do is file a report.
