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.

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.

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.
- 12/25/2025· 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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Throttle hesitation from stop. Delay in acceleration poses a safety risk when driving.
- 12/10/2025· 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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle does not predictably respond to throttle inputs (if it responds at all), when you come off the brake pedal it will begin rolling at "idle" speed as normal but when you begin to increase throttle input NOTHING will happen for several very important seconds as you roll into an intersection or need the vehicle to accelerate to maneuver. This had happened multiple times before scheduling service appointments. The day BEFORE my appointment while trying to make a right hand turn from EB 13st St in Lemont IL to SB Bell Rd, i had stopped for the red light, verified clearance to make the turn, and began my maneuver. Once I came off the brake pedal the vehicle began to roll into the intersection but as I began to turn the vehicle and try to accelerate though the turn it did not respond WHATSOEVER. I desperately tried to roll my vehicle into the ditch to make space the incoming vehicles to minimize danger, but had no power to do so and was violently T-boned. The vehicle was brought to the dealer for their analysis, the service manager initially claimed "I know exactly what it is" and continued to ask questions that prompted previous knowledge of this issue including what speeds and conditions it will occur at.. two weeks later the vehicle is "ready" and the manager claims the "eprom" had 2 pages of codes in it and that "got rid of the hesitation" I take him for a test drive with me and was able to recreate the issue a few times at which point he said "i understand your frustration with the truck but its a GOOD TRUCK" I drove the truck a few days and continued to experience dangerous and unpredictable delays in throttle response, one of which almost caused me to be rear-ended by a semi while merging from IL-rt83 onto I-55 nb The vehicle has been left behind on a family road trip as it is not safe enough for my family. In hind sight I wish I had the opportunity to submit it to NHTSA for examination after the crash rather than than Toyota. PLEASE DO SOMeTHING

- 12/08/2025· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Stopped at a stop sign at an intersection. Intersection is 4-way, with only a 2-way stop. After ensuring cross-traffic was clear, initiated a left turn from being stopped at the stop sign. Released the brake pedal and began to accelerate.Truck only accelerated to 5mph, and then began to roll/drift into the intersection with no power. No response from gas pedal. Drifted into intersection and was nearly struck by an oncoming vehicle. Accelerator finally responded, lagged once more when attempting to accelerate quickly to get out of the intersection, and then began responding appropriately. I could have been T-boned by another motorist while drifting without acceleration ability through an intersection. My foot was firmly on the gas pedal, with no response. This was only one of two occurrences of this, the truck has not been serviced by the dealer for this issue. No warning lights were displayed at the time, nor did any illuminate.

I was at a tea intersection and I needed to pull into traffic. This is the second time it’s happened by the way. And the traffic was pretty heavy, but if I really put on the grass, I’d be able to get into my lane no problem and as I was going to get into the lane and merge in the traffic, the gas shut off the brake warning went on because cars were coming at me to my left. I believe it’s the Toyota safety sense that stopped the gas into my car. The throttle was nonresponsive for a second or so, and it almost caused an accident the dealership has been made aware and the shop foreman says it’s a problem with Toyota safety sense and they told me they documented it when I brought my car in.

When applying the brakes at highway speeds the vehicle shakes violently. If in a turn of going downhill you have to release the brakes so you don’t lose control of the brakes. Started happening at 10,000 miles on a brand new truck. Toyota tells my I have to pay $440 to recondition the rotors. In all my years and many cars and trucks I’ve never had a warped rotor. I don’t ride the brakes and don’t tow anything with this truck. I am baffled at this situation. The service manager said he’s seeing several 2025 Tundras with low mileage rotor warping so this seems to be a design defect.

- 11/06/2025· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The HVAC climate control system in my 2025 Toyota Tundra Limited malfunctioned while the vehicle was idling. The air conditioning had been set to cool and was operating normally, but without any touch to the controls or any alert, the system switched from blowing cold air to blowing warm/hot air. This caused the cabin temperature to increase rapidly. Because there were no warning lights, notifications, or error messages, there was no indication that the air system had changed. The vehicle continued to show that A/C was on and functioning. The malfunction resulted in the cabin reaching a dangerously high temperature. This caused fatal heat injury to one animal and critical heat injury to another, both of which were inside the vehicle at the time. One is still undergoing medical treatment. This same type of HVAC issue has been reported by other 2024–2025 Toyota Tundra owners in multiple owner discussion groups, particularly related to the vehicle blowing warm air at idle or failing to maintain cabin temperature. This suggests a potential widespread defect, whether software-related or involving the A/C compressor control system. This presents a serious safety risk, especially for: Children Animals Disabled or elderly passengers Anyone unable to immediately exit the vehicle The vehicle remains in our possession and can be inspected. Service interactions with the Toyota dealership are documented and available. Immediate investigation is needed to determine the cause of this HVAC failure and whether a recall or TSB must be issued to prevent future injury or death.

The hood design of the 3rd generation toyota tundra causes SEVERE solar glare back into the cab and this is a known issue. While I could site many instances of it casing a problem, the most recent scenario caused me to nearly run a stop sign and hit a pedestrian. The glare is so blinding it’s impossible to drive without holding your hand up to block it. Countless tundra owners have complained about this but because it hasn’t been cited as a safety issue, Toyota isn’t responsible. This is requiring owners to put black decals on their hoods or add tint strips to the BOTTOM of the windshield to block it. I have sensitive eyes, so my windshield and windows are already tinted and it doesn’t touch this. MAKE TOYOTA FIX THIS! I have not had my specific situation investigated simply because it was already such a known problem. I’m voicing my concerns so ALL Tundra owners can drive safely.
