VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I get random lags in thorttle engagement when starting from complete or rolling stops. When this happens, it behaves like there is a delay between the throttle input and the engine resoponse. Push the throttle to go, and no go, and after a delay of usually part of a second, then it jerks and goes. Most times there is no problem and the throttle responds correctly, but this issue occurs randomly almost every time I drive.

WHEELS, SUSPENSION, STEERING
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.

ENGINE
This has been an ongoing issue since the vehicle was new. When accelerating from a stop, when I push the gas pedal, there is a hesitation. There is no throttle response that can last up to 2 or 3 seconds which is dangerous. There have been times that I have tried to pull into traffic from a parking lot and the truck will not accelerate then jerks when it finally responds. This happens daily.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
When pulling out turning left across a busy street, my vehicle did not accelerate when I pressed the gas pedal for approximately one second. While only a short time, this was enough time to roll into the middle of traffic, but not get out of the way. This throttle hesitation/delay happened twice more in the same trip.

ENGINE
Extreme throttle hesitation, and lag at low speeds. Causes a safety risk when in traffic or starting to stop situations due to the delay between when the driver presses the throttle pedal and when the vehicle moves. Often times the vehicle lunges aggressively. It happens every time you drive it.

ENGINE
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding my 2024 Toyota Tundra, which I purchased approximately five months ago. On two separate occasions while driving, the vehicle unexpectedly lost power. The first incident occurred while I was driving on the highway, which was extremely concerning from a safety standpoint. The second incident happened after I came to a complete stop and attempted to make a turn; the vehicle did not respond and had no power. In both situations, the power returned on its own moments later. These incidents raise serious safety concerns, especially given that the vehicle is relatively new. I am requesting a thorough inspection of the vehicle to identify the cause of this issue and ensure that it is resolved permanently. I would also like this concern documented in the vehicle’s service history. Vehicle Information: VIN: [XXX] Please advise on the next steps to address this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the vehicle was unresponsive while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle revved but failed to respond properly. The vehicle gradually reached 45 MPH, and then the check engine and several other unknown warning lights illuminated before the vehicle started losing motive power. The vehicle was unable to exceed 35 MPH. The vehicle was driven to a local dealer, and the dealer determined at first that the failure was related to the transmission, but later informed the contact that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V767000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact was informed that the remedy was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.

POWER TRAIN
On Sunday November 30th, I was driving my 2024 Tundra with 30k miles on highway AZ-260 on my way back home to Phoenix. The stretch between Forest Lakes and Payson has an altitude drop of 2500 feet with many areas having a 7% drop. During this drive, my engine shut down with no warning while I was going 65 MPH on a mountain highway with a 7% decline in altitude. The truck had 5 people in it with no power brakes, no engine and going 65 MPH downhill. There was no warning at all. We were able to stop at a safe spot and called a tow truck. The engine started making a loud clanking noise. We had to arrange a ride for all five of us from Payson to Phoenix (~100 miles). This was a very scary situation and it left us shaken. This could have been catastrophic for an inexperienced driver. The truck is currently at AutoNation Toyota Tempe. It has been there for 5 weeks. The dealership told me it needed a new engine. I have now received the official letter mailed to me about the recall. I also called Toyota Corporate and they told me a remedy is not yet available. Not sure how long this is going to take for it to be resolved, but its very frustrating purchasing a new vehicle and having this issue. Any help would be appreciated. The Tundra is still under the factory warranty, plus I also purchased the Toyota extended warranty and Toyota maintenance package.

This is now a safety risk because I carry my child in the car, and I’m scared that my engine will lose power while I’m driving according to the recall. This is so irresponsible of Toyota that they still don’t have a remedy and I have been waiting.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Component: Electrical Harness + Vehicle Shakiness Problem: Car would enter LIMP mode randomly and shut the car down to 18 MPH and can cause accidents anywhere, especially in highway where speed limits are 65+. Car also now starts shaking violently when 48 MPH is reached which is a safety concern. Reproduce: First turn taking into dealer they found issue then “disappeared” and they could not reproduce, went in again and they produced it then said that I tried tampering the engine then got corporate involved and they paid all of it. Now they are ghosting me and will not check out the shakiness. Inspected: Only by Summit Toyota Dealership (Akron Ohio) Warning Lamps: Only appeared after issue happened and disappeared when first issue was solved.
