Hesitation when trying to accelerate. When I come to a stop sign and hit the gas, there-??s always a hesitation

Feb 182025

Tundra

  • miles
After braking or coming to a momentary stop, such as a stop sign, the tundra-??s throttle is delayed for 2-3 seconds. Full pedal to floor, no acceleration. Extremely scary when it occurs, results in pulling out into traffic and having to wait 2-3 seconds before accelerating. It seems to be the ECM hunting for gears after slowing, hesitating, then selecting 6th gear and bottoming out before downshifting to 2nd and nearly burning out as it finally accelerates away from rapidly approaching traffic. Often happens, or is noticed more frequently, when turning right from a stop sign. Please have Toyota fix this, they are not acknowledging there is an issue!

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.

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

I am currently leasing this 2023 Toyota Tundra Platinum and after about six I noticed that there was a delay in the throttle engaging and it felt like the truck bogged down. I asked the sales associate whom I bought the vehicle from if this was normal, and she said it was a normal safety feature. I have brought up a complaint with Toyota since November of 2023 about it and since then I have had my kids in the truck and there are multiple situations where i have had to cross traffic, go around someone on the highway almost being rearended because the vehicle does not engage and go as needed ultimately almost causing multiple wrecks. Toyota mechanics have ridden with me so I can show them, and they also have noticed the delay, and they have no answer for me. After researching the internet, I am not the only one having this issue with the 2022-2023 tundra. Here recently I have noticed that when you go from breaking to a stop and then go straight to the gas pedal there is a hesitation and then surge from the vehicle which I feel is also very unsafe. All I am asking is for the vehicle to be replaced so my family is safe. Please help me in any possible because Toyota will not.

Notified of safety recall for this in August of 2023, to date, 10/10/2024, the fix has not been installed or available for my vehicle. Initially notified of a recall for the same issue on April 28th, 2023. I was under the impression this had been remedied during one of the services performed between April and August of 2023, with the dealer telling me the August 2023 recall was a different recall for the same part as the remedied part was recalled as well.

I have been informed that my vehicle was affected by the recall involving the machining debris and therefore unsafe to drive. The dealership in Kendall Toyota, who is not normally my service dealer called me and after removing all my belongings and waiting for hours I was told my rental car was a Chevrolet Traverse, which I was unable to use for my business and was told I had to leave it with them indefinitely, and so I called my usual dealership in Hollywood, who informed me they would be able to help me out with a more appropriate rental vehicle the next day I advised the dealership at Kendall picked up my truck and went to Toyota of Hollywood only to be sent away stating that they did not have the remedy and we-??re not able to help me. I have since followed up and every time I go in they tell me again only once I get there they don-??t have the remedy and this is happened three times. I feel unsafe driving the vehicle and would very much like to have a safe and dependable vehicle to which I feel I am owed considering how much I paid for this truck. I feel like I am getting the runaround.

The problem was identified approximately August 2023 and they claim there is no remedy for the problem as of today. However, they are selling the 2024 identical models without the issue. This means they have fixed the problem and not trying to remedy the problem in the vehicles that are already sold. Possibly fuel leaks and a fires are a serious problem that risking injuries, deaths or loss of properties. They need to be held accountable for an expedited solution. Thanks

Fuel gauge randomly resets itself to full. This could lead to the vehicle running out of fuel without the driver knowing that it was low. Confirmed by dealer via video evidence of the vehicle taking 14.4 gallons to fill when the gauge read over 3/4 tank (tanks is only 32 gallons).

This truck was sold even while it was under recall over 1 year ago. That recall, for fuel tank issues STILL cannot be repaired as there are STILL not enough parts being distributed to dealers to fix it. Since that time, 2 additional recalls have been issued and dealers have no indication when they will be able to fix it. This vehicle should be treated as a lemon and taken off the road at Toyota's expense.

The fuel gauge will randomly reset itself to full. This poses a safety concern as the truck may run out of gas while it is showing that it is not empty. This could happen while doing something like pulling out in to traffic or turning across a lane of traffic. This affects many trucks, not just mine.

When I drive the vehicle for a period of time and use a 1/3 of the fuel in the vehicle and park on non level surface: Meaning the front of the vehicle is pointed up and rear is lower the fuel gauge will register full on vehicle restart. Even if I drive the vehicle around and park it on a level surface and restart the vehicle it still fails to show the correct amount of fuel in the vehicle. In addition it will slowly subtract fuel based upon driving that is inline with normal fuel usage: It never registers that you are actually 1/3 lower then indicated on the gas gauge. I have identify two ways to address the issue of the gauge not registering the correct amount of fuel in the tank: 1) Refill the truck with maximum amount of fuel 2) Disconnect the negative battery terminal, let the truck sit for 30 seconds, and then reconnect the negative battery terminal. It will then register the correct amount of fuel in the truck The safety concern is I could run out of gas in unsafe manner on the road.

Fuel Gauge is always showing incorrect levels. When fueld up to full at times the gauge will show 1/2 tank to 1/4. Then other times if I know I have 1/4 tank of fuel left the gauge will show as full tank. Very unreliable and concerned whether I have a fuel leak or what not

On multiple occasions my fuel gauge has randomly reset from 3/4 full to above full. Had I not noticed this change I could have run out of gas. Toyota refuses to do anything about this and I have reported this to corporate and two different dealerships. Taken it in for repairs 4 times. They tell me there is nothing they can do"?"
