UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This sunroof has a rattle that will not stop. I have taken it to a Toyota Dealer twice, and was told this was a known issue and will do what they can to help with the rattle. The sunroof shakes and rattles like glass hitting the tracks, or glass hitting metal when driving down the road. I am afraid one bump will shatter the glass. Will be returning to the dealership for a third time today to see if it can be fixed.

ENGINE
I was driving on the highway at 55 mph when my engine suddenly began making a loud knocking noise and lost power. I immediately pulled over, but as I was doing so, the vehicle lost all power and the engine light came on. This was a dangerous situation because I was in the middle of traffic and almost got rear-ended as I couldn’t keep up with the traffic speed. Let alone the warning light didn’t come on until I lost all power to the engine. This is a 2023 Hybrid Limited with under 15,000 miles! I could not believe it as I just got rid of my 2022 Tundra Limited with engine issues and purposely got a hybrid to avoid engine problems. Toyota, what on earth are you doing?!

ENGINE
While moving through an intersection the vehicle will occasionally loose power and the engine returns to idle. I will press on the gas for 3-4 seconds before the engine throttle reacts and the vehicle starts to accelerate. This has happened many times. The vehicle will turn or brake but it will not accelerate.

ENGINE
On Aug 1st I started noticing a slight shake in the vehicle on the way to work in the morning. I can best describe this shake or shutter like an imbalanced tire or a misfire. On the way home I noticed that the shutter was only present around 1,100-1,300RPMs while under gentle acceleration. About 6 miles from home I noticed the engine would bog down from time to time and shortly after I could hear a slight metallic sound. It was not until I got into town where I was set a slower road speed that I could clearly hear that the metallic sound was a rod knock. I have the hybrid model of the new Tundras, and on that last bit of stretch getting home in town the truck never threw an error or even understood that it was having an engine failure. Towards the end it would kick the engine on and off trying to flip flop between hybrid/EV mode and ICE mode. And some of those instances I think the engine was stalling out. Mine engine never seized up fully, but if it had I question whether or not the ECU would have understood this to disengage the engine from the drivetrain to propel itself only on the MG. As of today (12/5/25) my truck is still down at the shop because of this engine failure. Toyota originally covered a short block replacement under warranty. After the dealership assembled that new engine they are having nothing but one problem after another. After about a month to a month and a half of fighting the new engine Toyota's FTS got involved, were they ordered the new engine to be disassembled for investigation. They found that the new engine had completely destroyed itself, and they claim the cause was from the technician not applying assembly lube on the camshafts. After that Toyota blamed the technician at the dealership and refused to help fix my truck (which is well within the drivetrain warranty). I now have an open arbortation case with the NCDS for this.

STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The 2016 Toyota Frame Rust Settlement (Burns v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.): This $3.4 billion class action directly addresses premature corrosion in 2007–2008 Tundras (and similar models). It claims Toyota “knowingly failed to apply adequate rust protection,” leading to frame perforation despite later treatments like HOF. The settlement’s “recurrent perforation” clause applies even after HOF. My rusted-through fuel tank strap and holes in the rear cross member qualify. HOF RO# XXX. Claim #XXX My 2008 Tundra SR5 TRD was treated with HOF in Nov 2017. In November 2025 my mechanic told me the gas tank was falling out as the straps that hold the tank in place were completely rotted out. And rust perforation was on the rear cross member. He instructed me to get a safety inspection at a Toyota dealership to document the rust. Toyota of Waldorf didn’t even schedule a appt, they told me to call the Brand Engagement Center and that there was no possibility of repair because Toyota had no frames. Brand engagement refused to provide any guidance. I scheduled an inspection at Koons Toyota of Annapolis, which it failed inspection with multiple >10mm frame holes and a rusted-through tank strap (held by bungee). They deemed it unsafe to operate and unrepairable. They kept leaving out the information about the rust or the holes until they realized I was not leaving until they documented it properly. I have 3 versions. Despite ZH7 expiration, this is a post-HOF recurrence and safety hazard. I requested goodwill repurchase at 1.5x KBB (~$12k) under the settlement’s intent. The Brand Engagement Center had me call them and [XXX] ” announced she was my case manager, then almost as quickly announced it was going to “Internal Dept” for repurchase review, that she would no longer be my case manager, and that they would get back to me in 60 days. I said the average is 2-4 weeks, not months and that I expected a response in 3-7 days. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Tundra has had and has throttle lag. Lag is so noticeable that other drivers notice. Following lag is a burst of power causing a jerk and or lunge forward. This is after a long pause. Happens on a roll, or start-stop situation. My truck has had the toyota tsb applied a long time ago.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
While driving the vehicle there is excessive lag in throttle response when giving the vehicle gas pedal input. Example being when you push gas to accelerate there is a 1-2 second delay from the vehicle before there is movement or acceleration. This happens every time i drive the vehicle and has almost caused numerous accidents due to the inconsistent response to throttle input.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Vehicle hesitates to accelerate from stop or slow roll when pedal is engaged. This hesitation nearly caused a collision when attempting a left-hand turn in heavy traffic. Problem can be reproduced easily and is exacerbated when on an incline. It has not been confirmed by dealer or service center. Occurs regardless of whether auto start/stop feature is enabled or not. Putting transmission in "S" mode and manually down shifting to first gear appears to prevent the issue. After the hesitation, when the vehicle begins to accelerate, it performs a "hard" acceleration, like the pedal was slammed to the floor, even though consistent pressure was maintained on the the pedal. Problem has existed since purchasing the vehicle new in Dec. 2023.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
While starting to accelerate from a stop whether it is going straight or turning the truck hesitates and takes multiple seconds to start accelerating leading to a potentially dangerous situation especially when turning and you can't get out of oncoming traffics way. Also when at a slow roll trying to accelerate the truck just does not apply any power for multiple seconds delaying movement and potential to avoid an accident.

When trying to accelerate from a stop this truck lags and hesitates to the point of stalling almost when pulling into or crossing traffic. I have been in many near miss collisions due to the hesitation and lack of response. This has been going on since I’ve owned the truck in 22 and the dealership failed to address it or even acknowledge it.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The vehicle experiences throttle lag/hesitation when going from a stop. At stop lights or when at a complete stop when you apply gas there is a good amount of hesitation before the engine moves. I found this is dangerous because the warmer the vehicle is the more I expirience it. Very concerning when trying to move out of traffic, when making left and right turns at intersections. There has not been an accident yet but it is a ticking time bomb.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The truck has a hesitation or lag at stop signs every day, every stop sign it's like the transmission doesn't know what to do and doesn't shift into 1st unless you come to a complete stop for several seconds. Hit the throttle and nothing is happening. Even more scary thing that has happened about 8x so far is when you are stopped at an intersection and either need to wait for traffic to proceed across the road or if you are at a stop sign and waiting to merge into flowing traffic the truck will let you accelerate into traffic but then the throttle just goes dead. You can push the gas pedal all you want and the truck is just dead in the water for several seconds. Motor stays running and everything the throttle just wont work and you have to be very careful because when it suddenly comes back on if you have the pedal down to the floor it'll suddenly give you full power. It has almost caused me to get tboned 3x now and almost rear ended and then people are screaming at you and creating road rage because they think I just pulled out and stopped on purpose. I've gotten to the point I go to stop lights because I don't trust the truck to merge into flowing traffic. It feels to me like the crash avoidance is sensing something and cutting throttle but it doesn't beep or set off anything indicating that's what's happening. Dealer just always says they can not duplicate the issue. I'm going to mark 7/8/25 as the date that it's happend as I have that one written down but it did happen as recently as last week also I just don't remember the exact date.

I periodically have throttle lag issues when starting to roll and take off from a stop - a lot of times this is in the middle of an intersection or pulling out into traffic lanes. The throttle almost doesn't respond or drops and then a few moments later takes off trying to make up for the throttle lag.
