FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
Ive been noticing a significant lag sometimes when I press the gas pedal. It last just a couple seconds. This could possibly become something bigger. Will update of it gets worse. Also the cruise control doesn't hold the set speed it stays 1 or 2 miles under.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I have had an issue several times which nearly resulted in a traffic accident. The truck has a sudden loss of acceleration where the gas pedal is completely dead. It last a few seconds and then goes back to normal. This has nearly caused several accidents where I could not properly accelerate while traffic was heading in my direction. After talking with other Tundra owners, I am not the only one with this issue. This needs immediate attention. If it is not fixed as soon as possible, I fear that someone will get seriously injured or killed. Please take this matter seriously. I suspect it may have something to do with the pre collision sensor system on the truck. It seems that it happens when there is a slight grade or dip in the road. Perhaps the sensors are at a lower angle due to the dip, making it think there is an object it will hit. The Toyota service centers don’t appear to know why this is happening and cannot reproduce the issue in a short visit.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Have severe throttle lag and/or hesitation when giving gas from a stop. It causes a unsafe condition when you give it gas to go and it hesitates so bad I have almost gotten into accidents. This has been happening since new. Currently 30k miles on the truck.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
After I come to stop at a light or A stop sign, when I press the accelerator the truck lurches out into the intersection then stops and the truck will not move for 1-3 seconds even though I am pressing the gas pedal. When it finally responds, the truck jumps or lurches forward. Each time this happens I am almost hit and people have to drive around me. I have been almost hit like 50 times. This is a huge safety issue.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Engine hesitation from a stop. Engine takes 1-2 seconds to respond to throttle pedal input. Creates timing safety hazard when attempting to cross oncoming lane to enter roadway. Puts vehicle at risk of not clearing the oncoming lane in time to avoid collision. Intermittent and haven’t been able to reproduce with dealer.

POWER TRAIN
Pickup has regular but not every time throttle delay. For 1-3ish seconds and then it CHARGES forward. Making pulling onto a busy road a bit of a gamble. Seems very very unsafe. I’ve had the new engine put in and still the same issue.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Sometimes at a red light or stop sign, I go to take off and the truck will hesitate for a second or two. I press the pedal down aways and then it lurches and takes off slowly. Been happening regularly.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While trying to quickly accelerate there is a very noticeable lag between accelerator pedal and vehicle response. I would say ~250-500ms, which in certain situations is extremely dangerous.

POWER TRAIN
Severe throttle lag and hard shifting when accelerating from a stop. This has caused several near misses when the vehicle will “stall” in the line of traffic causing lack of acceleration. Often happens when stopping at a four way stop or other stop sign followed by immediate acceleration. Was able to replicate it several times and happens on its own once a week. A widely known issue for the newest generation of Toyota Tundra. There are no safety lights, notifications or error codes. The vehicle did this both before a complete engine replacement and after.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
The accelerator pedal is unresponsive at times when attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, or a rolling stop, while traveling below 5 mph. This presents itself as a "dead pedal" type situation where no matter the accelerator angle given by the driver, zero power output at the engine is given. This can be logged via electronic data logger, and clearly the throttle angle does not change when this scenario presents itself. This can present a serious safety concern as the truck becomes a sitting duck, creeping out into a intersection with no more than idle power.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I have had multiple occasions where I have pushed on the gas pedal to accelerate from a stop and the truck does not go. This has almost caused accidents when attempting to pull out into traffic. This happens almost on a daily basis. The lag/pause can be very short (0.5 seconds) or very long (2-3 seconds) in my experience.

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.
