Hesitation when driving when first start the truck and after the trucks been on awhile. Always has been doing this
- Surprise, AZ, USA
Hesitation when trying to accelerate. When I come to a stop sign and hit the gas, there-??s always a hesitation
- State College, PA, USA
Hesitation From Stop and Surge Concerns. this may cause traffic surge, collison in my front for having no control of the speed if I end up pressing the gas all the way which it cause a quick surge of speed, due to the hesitation when pressing the gas, this happened to my car for a lot of times now which I ignored it until I saw the help from the Toyota Tundra forum, that I can actually send a report to NHTSA.

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

2023 Toyota Tundra with 31,000 miles on it and the main bearings was knocking and engine about to cease, Toyota has a recall for this exact same thing on truck that where produced two months earlier so I am told they are replacing the hole engine but for mine Toyota only wants to just do a half block when that main bearings goes it will put metal shavings though out the engine that-??s why they are replacing the hole engine why not my truck. Have bought 4 Toyota had a 07 Tundra from new put 320,000 miles on it not a lick of trouble and cost half the price. No warning lights came on. Thought engine was going to explode. Has only been serviced and inspected by Toyota dealership. My advice don-??t buy a new tundra. So let the run around begin on trying to get it fixed and for how long.

Consistently this vehicle experiences a hesitation to accelerate from a stop or rolling stop such as a stop sign or at a round about type intersection. When this occurs there may be up to a 2 second delay from when I press the accelerator to when the vehicle moves and once it does begin to move it will jump forward rapidly. I have had several near miss collisions upon entering round abouts when this occurs as well as at several stop sign intersections. This problem has existed from when the vehicle was at about 5,000 miles. I have reported this condition to the Toyota dealer on 2 occasions and they tell me Toyota does not recognize this is an issue and there is no fix.

The engine has 13,441 miles on it and it has been consuming 4 quarts of oil in 1700 miles. The dealer sealed the engine and is performing an oil consumption test. Approximately 500 mile into the test the check engine light started flashing due to a misfire. The dealer found that the #1plug was fouled out and had to be replaced. At 1029 miles into the test the truck was idling in a parking lot for about 8 minutes when it started to misfire and stumble. After stepping on the throttle to clear out the misfire, the dash lit flashing multiple warnings including the breaking system was stuck on hindering the truck from being able to move. After several restarts and playing with the parking brake I managed to get the parking brake off. It still had the flashing check engine light on and flashing. The pre-collision light was flashing, along with the traction control light was flashing and none of the safety systems were working.

Excessive hesitation in acceleration from stop or slow start. No warnings displayed car has less than 18000 miles. The excessive hesitation poses a real danger when pulling into traffic or trying to avoid an accident. The truck can randomly take several seconds to respond to accelerator input. This issue halls been reported my many 2022 and later Tundra owner.
- Henderson, NV, USA
Vehicle hesitates when accelerating from a stop. Feels like the engine may stall and the vehicle will not respond to throttle inputs. Very unsafe as I may not be able to accelerate to avoid an accident.

My Tundra has a build date of January, 2023. The Engine recall by Toyota included models up till February 13, 2023. I want to know specifically why my vehicle was not included in the recall even though it was built within the recall period.
- Red Lodge, MT, USA
When in start and stop traffic when the vehicle is at low speeds below 5 mile an hour. The transmission does not properly downshift. This causes a severe lag in acceleration when needed in traffic or in Intersections. This delay is a safety issue due to causing a lack of vehicle movement when needed. The vehicle will basically not accelerate for a couple seconds until it decides to downshift. This happens continuously at speeds below 5 mile an hour. If you don-??t stop completely and pause for a second or two, the transmission will not downshift properly. In traffic, you cannot do this.

Toyota has two recalls on my 2023 tundra. One is from August 10, 2023 and the other is from May 30, 2024. The first can cause a fuel leak and the second can cause engine failure while driving. i got this truck in 2022. i am wondering what has to happen before something will be done to fix theses recalls or I have to go through some changes before this is handled. I do not need any accidents before anything is done to fix my situation

2023 Tundra 39k miles. Engine shut off randomly while driving at 65 MPH. Was able to pull to the side of the road. Turned it off then back on and it was like nothing had happened. Pretty heavy traffic where it happened. Really dangerous.

On 10/18/2024 as I was driving my 2023 Toyota Tundra the engine quit running, after coasting to the burm of the road I got out and check the oil and found it full. I then tried to restart it and it sounded like the bottom half of the engine was coming apart. I had it towed to a nearby Toyota dealer, when they looked at the oil it had metal in it. I had to obtain a rental car under customer pay until the dealer determined what had happened, they informed me that they found a substantial amount of metal in the oil pan, just like the 96000 Toyota tundra-??s that have been recalled due to this issue. I requested a new engine, a new truck or a buyback of my truck, I was later contacted by the service manager for the dealership and was told the would be doing a short block rebuild of this engine. My issue with this solution is that it was caused by the same issue that the 96000 other Toyota Tundra-??s hav been recalled for and Toyota has informed me my warranty doesn-??t qualify me for a new engine replacement. Common sense should be my engine should qualify for the same solution those other Toyota Tundras. I am filing this complaint because TOYOTA refuses to help me in any way, and the value of my truck will be negatively effected by their decision.

Engine started knocking at 58,000 miles, lost power and then completely lost all oil, pressureand then the vehicle became undrivable. Toyota has it in their service department and said it needs an engine replacement. It also does not have a part for the recall that we-??ve been waiting on for over a year. They said it-??s gonna take two months to repair.

My son was driving our 2023 Toyota Tundra (non-hybrid) at approximately 25-30 miles an hour when the engine shut down. He had difficulty steering but was able to safely brake to a stop in the middle of the road. Cars were forced to pass him on the shoulder. He was unable to restart the engine for what he estimates was approximately one minute. He was finally able to restart the engine and drive home. The next day I drove it to the Toyota dealer. The engine stalled on me one block from the dealer on a busy intersection. I was able to get it restarted, out of traffic and into the dealership where it sits today. There were no apparent symptoms with the vehicle prior to it stalling on my son. I received an engine failure warning message when the vehicle stalled on me. The dealership looked at the engine and stated that there is lose debris in the engine. The dealership has stated that they are unable to give me a diagnoses letter or a repair order at this time. Once they repair is made, they can give me something in writing. This issue appears to be similar Safety Recall 24TA07. However, Toyota is stating that my vehicle does not fall under 24TA07. It appears have a vehicle with an engine stall safety issue that is not attached to a recall.

I was driving at highways speeds then engine suddenly shuts off, had lost of power steering. This happens around 11pm luckily Not many cars were around and was able to pull over safely. Also the battery is bad it didn-??t turn on randomly one day then I jumpstarted it and it kept happening, same day I took it into Toyota service under warranty and they said it was supposedly -??good-?? according to their test. Left to a trip next day and again it not turn on. I purchased a new one thru autozone.
