Throttle lag when pressing gas pedal. This has happened on mulitiple occasions. This has been happening when I come to a complete stop. No warning lights indicating this. I fear that if this does not get fixed my family and I will be severley injured or may end up dead. I took it to 2 Toyota dealers. One in san antonio, Texas and one in del rio, Texas they both said, "we see nothing wrong. And to bring it in when it starts happening again." Also they stated that Toyota has not sent any recalls out for this so they cannot do anything to help.

Vehicle has throttle lag when pushing the accelerator. Multiple times since owning vehicle, when pushing the accelerator pedal the engine/vehical doesn-??t accelerate. This normally is from a complete stop situation. I have never seen any dashboard warning lights regaurding this issue. This has created on more than a handful of occasions myself and other occupants to be put in danger. I have not had a dealer look at this issue nor have any other agencies been involved. I do believe Toyota is aware of this but have not taken my vehical in for them to look at it.

Vehicle had 11,000 miles on it and just was serviced at the dealership the day before. I was stopped in the middle turn lane trying to turn left. I hit the gas to cross 2 lanes of traffic and my engine stalled. I barely made it across traffic and the oncoming traffic had to slow down in order to avoid a T-bone type accident. The dash board lit up like a Christmas tree with warning lights. I still had battery power and able to slowly pull over to a side road, nothing more than 10mph. The engine would not turn over or engage. I power off the vehicle, let it sit for a couple minutes. I attempted to start the vehicle again, but there was no power to anything. I had the key fob and attempted to touch it to the start button to make sure it was in range, still nothing. I called road side assistance and had them tow the vehicle to the dealership. The dealership stated it fired right up without any issues the next morning. They could not provide a reason for the power loss or give an explanation for the warning lights because their computer did not have a history of it. I have since driven the become another 30k miles and have not experienced any loss of power. However, a safety recall for the exact motor in my truck was issued for all 2022 and 2023 tundras. The hybrid trucks were not in the recall. The incident described above was a big safety issue and very close to a bad accident. No doubt in my mind this motor is defective and it will happen again. I believe every truck with that engine should have the safety recall. I called Toyota and asked their Brand Engagement center about it, they said to write a complaint to NHTSA. The hybrid battery and motor are not even close in power to what the engine is. Surely there are more hybrid owners who have had the same problem. Please add the Hybrid Trucks to the recall. It-??s the same engine. I am saving this message for future reference. If I die because of this defect, at least my family will own part of Toyota.

On [XXX] approximately [XXX], travelling on [XXX] in Florida between Ocala and Gainesville my Toyota Tundra 2022 Crew Max engine shut down and lost power. There were a few lite knocks that were heard over a few minutes and I pulled over at a gas station to check it. I turned the truck off and on again after filling the gas. I heard the knocks at low RPM but were not concerning due to the fact that once the engine turned over, they seemed to go away. I returned to [XXX] and headed towards Gainesville. At approximately [XXX], the engine made a few intermittent knocks and I looked at the RPMs and dash- no warnings were exhibited. I was boxed between 2 x 18 Wheelers, 1 behind me and one on right lane when the engine light came on and a notice stating loss of oil pressure. I went to get to the left lane having to pull in front of the 18 wheeler on right side, the engine cut power and the dash said engine was shut down. I believe the hybrid motor gave us enough momentum to cut quickly off road. In the process, the truck on the right came within touching the vehicle as it was enough to knock the bike over on the back of the truck. Prior to this event I brought the vehicle to Hedricks in Fayetteville for new tires, safety inspection and recalls to be worked off on 12NOV. This was a result of advice in terms of tires from the mechanics given the last recall I brought it in for. New tires were placed on the vehicle, 2 recalls were worked off and we had a discussion about the engine recall. I was told there was no solution yet from Toyota and that a solution would be coming. I asked if the vehicle was safe to drive and was told that if there are no issues, you are fine and that it is a small percentage of vehicles that may have the issue. On 2DEC, Gatorland Toyota in Gainesville, FL, where the vehicle was left confirmed with Toyota it was the engine recall issue and that the vehicle will not be available for 3 to 9 months pending repair parts.

I am writing to file an official complaint regarding a safety issue involving the engine on my 2022 Toyota Tundra, which is subject to an open recall. The component in question has reportedly experienced a malfunction that presents a severe safety hazard. Specifically, I have been informed that there is a potential defect that could lead to the engine catching fire, as indicated by the recall notice. However, I have also been informed that no remedy is currently available for this issue, which has left me with an unresolved and potentially dangerous vehicle. **Safety Risk Assessment:** This issue places both my safety and the safety of others at significant risk. An engine fire could occur suddenly, which would pose an immediate danger to passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians. The inability to have the defect remedied promptly has heightened my concerns, as I am left with limited options for safely using my vehicle. **Confirmation and Inspection:** The issue has been acknowledged by Toyota through an official recall, but a dealer has not been able to inspect or repair the vehicle due to the lack of an available fix for this defect. Despite my attempts to seek a solution, I have been informed that the problem cannot currently be resolved, leaving my vehicle in an unsafe condition. **Warning Signs:** No warning signs were present prior to learning of the recall **Request for Assistance:** Given the severity of this issue and the absence of an available remedy, I am requesting assistance from the NHTSA to ensure that Toyota addresses this defect urgently. I am concerned about the safety implications of continuing to operate my vehicle in this condition, and I seek guidance on how to proceed to mitigate risk while awaiting an official resolution from Toyota. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your support in addressing this critical safety issue. **Sincerely, ** [XXX] ] [XXX] [XXX] ] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C.

This vehicle is a safety hazard. Whenever you come to a slow roll or a complete stop and you try to accelerate out it will lag anywhere from one to three seconds and by the time you-??re getting in front of other cars, it will sometimes cause them to slow down so they don-??t hit me. Please force Toyota to get a remedy for this as I do not want to be in an accident and die or have anybody hit me and die. Thank you.

There is extreme lag when attempting to accelerate. There can be 1-2 seconds after pushing the gas petal before the engine responds and starts to accelerate the vehicle. It-??s been apparent much more so when coming to a slow stop vs a harder braking stop. This lag has caused me to come close to several collisions. Such as when turning left in front of oncoming traffic. The truck moves a few feet into the oncoming lane just from momentum, but no acceleration from the petal push, until 1-2 seconds later. And by then I-??m panicking and have pushed the petal all the way down so when the acceleration starts it-??s full acceleration and can spin the tires or over accelerate dangerously. It forced me to drive so cautiously that this type of driving is dangerous itself.

Had engine failure on highway with 27794 miles on the truck. There were no warnings or symptoms prior to failure. I was driving along and heard a large thud and the waring message came on stating low oil pressure and to pull over and shutdown vehicle. This happened on a multi lane highway going up hill and I barely made it over the shoulder to shutdown the vehicle. Would have been bad if I hadn't made it to the shoulder and ended up stranded in traffic lanes on a multi lane highway. I was told by the dealership that the short block would need to be replaced and that they found chunks of metal up to 2 inches in the oil pan. Vehicle is at dealership awaiting parts for repair and can be inspected anytime.

I have received a recall notice on my vehicle (Toyota Tundra) about a serious engine issue 2 months ago. The NHTSA recall number is 24V-381. The Toyota recall number is 24TA07. Now two months have passed, they still didn't have a remedy available. In the letter, it states "Engine may stall during driving. A loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds can increase the risk of crash." It is not reasonable for such a serious problem but they are still not able to provide a fix for it for this long. I am filing a complaint in hope to get this resolved. I am requesting Toyota to provide fix for this issue within two weeks. If they are not able to, they need to buy back my vehicle.

Dear NHTSA Team, I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding the extended recall processing time for my 2022 Toyota Tundra. I am deeply concerned about the length of time my vehicle has been out of service and the significant inconvenience it has caused me. Vehicle Information: Make: Toyota Model: Tundra Year: 2022 VIN: [Vehicle Identification Number] Recall Campaign Number: RMISC-24V381-8150 Recall Details: My vehicle was brought in for a recall issue related to a major engine failure, which is a significant safety concern, in May [year]. Despite the considerable time that has passed since then, I have been informed today that the repair cannot yet be performed. Given the severity of the issue and the extended time my vehicle has been out of service, I believe it is unreasonable to continue waiting for a resolution. Therefore, I am requesting that the dealership buy back my vehicle as a resolution to this matter. Since my truck has been in the repair facility, I have been driving rental trucks. This situation has been both inconvenient and costly. The prolonged absence of my vehicle has disrupted my daily life and work activities. I would like to request the following: An Immediate Status Update: Please provide me with a detailed update on the current status of the recall repair for my vehicle. Expected Timeline: An estimated timeline for when I can expect my truck to be repaired and returned to me. Buyback Request: I request that the dealership purchase my vehicle back given the unresolved and safety-critical nature of the recall issue. Compensation Information: Information on any potential compensation or reimbursement for the extended period I have had to use rental trucks due to this recall.
