Gas gauge randomly reset to full tank after parking, despite being less than half full. Without me noticing, this could have caused risk of running out of fuel due to erroneous computer information about the fuel level.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Throttle lag / hesitation when pushing the gas pedal. This is a very serious issue. There are many many complaints about this issue but the toyota and the dealer is not doing anything about it. This hesitation has almost caused me several accidents because the gas pedal does not respond. Causing on coming traffic to swerve or brake to avoid me. Let's hope this issue get attention before it's too late. Just Google "tundra throttle lag" and see how many tundra owners have this serious issue.

My truck, which has a build date of July 2024, is having numerous on going episodes of hesitation and throttle lag when transitioning from a complete, or nearly complete stop. The truck was purchased in early October 2024. The hesitation was not noticeable at first. It began presenting itself after about 6 weeks of ownership and 1000 miles. Today, with 4200 miles on the vehicle, it hesitated twice on a 15 mile city trip. There is no rhyme or reason as to when it may present itself...such as warm/cold outside, vehicle warmed up or still cold, or from a rolling or a dead stop. It does appear to be getting more frequent with longer delays in throttle response. I consider this to be a high priority safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately. I have never experienced this condition in a vehicle before and I have purchased about 15 new vehicles in my lifetime. I am now scheduling an appointment for this matter to be addressed with the dealership.

A low speeds there is a delay in throttle response. If you come to a stop then step on the accelerator, the vehicle has no response for a short period of time where then it may buck or propel itself to catch up with the missed throttle. I recently picked this vehicle up from the dealer and was told there is no remedy for the issue at this time.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2025 Toyota Tundra with 2200 miles. Truck has developed an intermittent lag/hesitation when starting from a stop. At random times, when pulling out into fast moving traffic, hit the pedal to proceed and enter the roadway and it will take a second or two before there is any response from the engine. Oncoming traffic traveling at 50mph are now a second or two closer and need to brake hard to avoid collision. There seems to be a fault between the throttle pedal and the engine. No warning lamps. Difficult to reproduce as it only happens on occasion. Vehicle has not been inspected by a dealership. The issue has been reported to Toyota via online support, message # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Driving down the road, my sunroof exploded. Sun shade was pulled so no injury. Dealer would not diagnose other than saying glass just doesn’t explode so must have been hit by something. I don’t believe that is the case. Easily as likely a manufacturer defect from the factory. I have had the truck for less than a year with 11000 miles

Complaint Regarding Misrepresentation of Vehicle Trim Level by Toyota - VIN Discrepancy To the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: I am writing to file a formal complaint against Toyota Motor North America regarding the misrepresentation of the trim level of a vehicle I purchased. On December 1, 2024, I purchased a 2025 Toyota Tundra 1794 Crewmax Edition. However, upon using the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) VIN decoder, I discovered that the vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) indicates the vehicle’s trim level as Double Cab, which is incorrect. This discrepancy is a significant issue for the following reasons: Misrepresentation of Purchased Vehicle: The VIN incorrectly identifying the vehicle as a Double Cab misrepresents the actual 1794 Crewmax Edition I purchased. Potential Impact on Vehicle Value: This error may negatively affect the vehicle's resale value, as the documentation does not accurately reflect the vehicle's specifications. Concerns About Documentation Accuracy: The discrepancy raises serious concerns about the accuracy and reliability of the vehicle’s documentation. I made multiple attempts to get this resolved with Toyota Motor North America to address this issue (case numbers, 250308000352, 250214001352, 25030400099). Despite multiple attempts to communicate and resolve this matter, I have not received a satisfactory response or resolution. I believe that Toyota’s actions constitute unfair and deceptive practices, as they have provided me with a vehicle that is not accurately represented in its official documentation. Requested Action: I request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigate this matter thoroughly and take immediate action to compel Toyota to correct the vehicle’s documentation to accurately reflect the 1794 Crewmax Edition trim level. I expect a prompt response outlining the steps that will be taken to resolve this issue and to ensure that Toyota addresses thi

Throttle lag. When I step on the gas pedal, there is a hesitation or lag which the truck doesn't move forward when asked. Very, very dangerous when entering traffic. Almost caused an accident. Not good. This must be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed. This is no joke and should be taken seriously. I hope this doesn't get ignored as this is a serious problem.
