ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Vehicle hesitates when pressing the accelerator, especially when pulling off after a complete stop. This doesn't happen 100% of the time. From my experience, this happens 65-70% of the time with varying degrees of hesitancy. It's a safety issue as you never know when this is going to happen and to what degree; especially when crossing traffic lanes at an uncontrolled street crossing. I have spun out of my gravel driveway many times due to the hesitation.

POWER TRAIN
There is a significant lag on acceleration when coming to a slow stop. Best way to describe it...California rolling to a stop sign and when you want to go, it delays and then suddenly goes. And if you’re in any traffic heavy environment, it always seems to lag you harder than expected, then suddenly surges. It seems to always surprise you even though you’ve been experiencing it so many times already. I’ve found driving other vehicles gets me into trouble now, too. My daily driver is this Tundra, and I try to consciously adjust for the lag. When I get into any other vehicle it responds appropriately and, well, my expected lag isn’t there and I accelerate faster than usual and has also almost caused a collision, such as turning left into traffic, trying to time it just right between oncoming vehicles.

ENGINE
Vehicle began with a knocking noise which occurred for approximately 3 days. Before being able to get an appointment at the dealer the vehicle shut off and would not move with our family in it in a lane of traffic. The vehicle has since been towed to Toyota and no clear guidance on the resolution of the engine seizing up has been shared.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
Truck will hesitate to respond to throttle pedal input when attempting to accelerate from a stop. This has occurred numerous times over the 3 years I’ve owned it and appears to happen randomly. This 1-2 second delay puts driver safety and other drivers at risk due to inability to quickly enter or cross lanes of traffic.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
There is hesitation when depressing the accelerator. After stopping at stop sign then trying to move into traffic the vehicle will not move for several seconds. When the vehicle does move it takes off at an increased rate. This has happened several times from the first day the vehicle drove off the lot until present day.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Truck will have a very bad hesitation when coming to a stop and trying to accelerate again before a complete stop. Many times this has almost got me into an accident when trying to pull out into traffic. You will push the gas and there in a 2-3 second delay before the truck will even move. This often makes it a very close call if you’re not expecting it.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This has happened a few times. I go to pull out of a parking lot needing to cross traffic and the truck hesitates and then feels like it punches it across the intersection. I’ve had people have to slam on their brakes thinking I just stalled in the middle. Should have been able to make it with no incident but I just avoid trying to cross quickly now.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
There is a lag in the accelerator. It happens 10 to 20% of the time. It is a one or two second lag on the gas pedal. Pretty critical when turning out into traffic. I have al most been hit twice due to car not accelerating properly. I have taken to the dealer twice. They have told me they could not recreate when driving

The engine hesitated going up a hill by my house. I’ve gone up the hill many times in this truck and other cars and never had the problem. I turned it off and started it again but I do t know if I should keep driving. The dealer says I can’t get the recall done yet.

Major throttle response issues. Long delay when pressing accelerator, and when under heavy acceleration, if you let off the gas because of an obstacle, the truck continues to apply propulsion. Both issues could create an unsafe situation or cause a collision
