ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The truck has a very pronounced hesitation to accelerate after slowing down or coming to a stop. Example: slow down, come to a stop at a stop sign and then accelerating to start moving. This situation happens daily and almost on every occasion after slowing or stopping. It has gotten worse over time and this issue has put me and my family in very dangerous and scary situations as the truck does not accelerate promptly and oncoming traffic is getting closer. It really has made me concerned to drive my truck and feel unsafe doing so, especially with my family.

Vehicle hesitates/loses power on take of from a stop started happening about 2 months ago 3/1/2025. Which causes the care to stop at intersections making it a huge risk to the passengers and other cars. Then last week the car had a low oil light. Dropped vehicle off at dealer they found no leaks or issues and added oil to the car and said to drive for another 1k miles and bring it back.

Hesitation when pulling out from a stop. Enough of an unplanned delay that it’s dangerous from cross-traffic at an intersection. Complained to dealer and they “updated” the computer and it still happens.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Often times when accelerating from a complete stop, there will be a hesitation before the truck moves. Almost like it is about to die, but then accelerates. It can be dangerous at times when I need to pull through traffic to the opposite lane. I can’t have it stall and then someone hit the vehicle.

Unknown what component failed. Safety was at risk because the delay in the throttle response can result in get in an accident. I can't reproduce the problem. It happens at random. The vehicle has never been inspected by anyone about this issue. No warning whatsoever. It doesn't happen ofen. Some times it's worse than others.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The major throttle lag. When leaving from a stop it takes a few seconds of pressing the gas before the truck even begins to accelerate. I have had multiple issues with throttle lag when dealing with oncoming traffic. No lights have indicated any issues and all the dealerships can tell me is it’s a common issue.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While parked on May 8, 2025, the sunroof glass on my 2023 Toyota Tundra spontaneously shattered. Minutes earlier, I had moved the vehicle from my driveway to the street. I have home security video that shows the sunroof panel visibly flexing when I closed the driver’s door—suggesting internal stress. Later, when I opened the door again and got inside, the glass suddenly exploded, creating a loud noise and sending shards across the sunroof liner. The glass appeared to explode outward rather than inward, suggesting a possible pressure buildup. This vehicle had just received its 40,000-mile service, and the glass was intact and undamaged beforehand. There were no warning lights, impact marks, or objects that could cause damage near the truck at the time. The failure occurred under normal conditions—no driving, no people around. I consider this a serious safety risk: If this had occurred while driving or with passengers inside, it could have caused injury or distraction-related accidents. I have multiple videos from my home security system showing: 1. The sunroof flexing under door pressure 2. The moment the glass shatters The dealer (Bayside Toyota) is scheduled to inspect the vehicle. The failed sunroof is available for inspection upon request. I have also asked the dealership to file this incident as a safety incident related to the Toyota Tundra.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Fuel gage will randomly reset itself to full when the tank quantity is less than full or fuel gage will not reset to full after the gas tank is filled. A manual reset of the computer is required to force the gage to reset to an accurate reading. Driver is at risk of running out of fuel due to the gage overstating the quantity of fuel remaining. Numerous reports of this situation are found on youtube along with instructions on how to manually reset the software to force the gage to reset. Gage has malfunctioned 4 times in less than two months. Dealer could not find an issue with the system and requires the vehicle to be brought in during the malfunction. Issue started around 8000 miles and 22 months after initial delivery to owner.

ENGINE
My engine was replaced under the recall at 75,000 miles. One day and less than 100 miles later, the engine lost motive power on the upgrade side of an overpass on the highway at 75 MPH. The vehicle slowed so quickly that if other vehicles would have been near, it undoubtedly would have caused an accident. I had it towed to the shop and they are investigating the problem. I also called Toyota Corporate HQ and notified them about the problem.

ENGINE
Total engine failure occurred, leaving me stranded 1500 miles away from home while on a road trip with family. The engine completely shut off on me at highway on ramp speeds, causing me to perform evasive maneuvers to pull over. Vehicle started smoking from engine compartment once parked, causing me and my [XXX] daughter to emergency exit the vehicle on the side of a busy highway. Truck was towed to closest dealer where they held the vehicle for 57 days. It was stated that this recall was the cause of the issue. They did not have a solution to the recall and simply replaced internal damaged engine parts. There were no warning lights or caution lights prior to this event occurring. I have reached out to Toyota Branding Division but have not received any reply. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
