Intermittent hesitation issues. Most of the time, happens when accelerating from a stop, but sometimes will happen when trying to accelerate when going to an on-ramp, for example. Hard to tell if transmission, or fuel related problem.
- San Antonio , TX, USA
Acceleration hesitation every time I push the accelerator
- Show Low, AZ, USA
Anytime I come to a yield/traffic circle and do not have to come to a complete stop, when I push the accelerator there is a hesitation and then the truck lurches forward. It happens quite often when I slow down to 5mph give or take before accelerating again. I would estimate it has happened 50 times since I have owned the truck which I bought with 300 miles on it.

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.

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.

The truck has a hesitation when accelerating from a stop or after coming to a stop and then accelerating again it has a hesitation or lag before powertrain responds making it a hazard when on coming traffic is approaching.
- Cypress, CA, USA
The truck hesitates to accelerate when pulling away or in middle of intersection of street, even when putting gas pedal to the floor-?? there is no acceleration.

I upgraded from my 2017 Tacoma to a 2024 Tundra because of a growing family and the as advertised 2024 listed the same (if not better) fuel economy than my Tacoma. I am the truck says 17 city-22 highway mpg, I've not seen anything remotely close to that. Im currently getting 14 city 16.5 highway. I understand there are outside factors that could be at play, however I'm not even getting the city mpg on long trips. Having paid roughly $65k for this truck I think it should deliver as advertised. I've expressed my concern with my local dealership and was instructed to manually calculate the mpg to make sure the truck was showing the correct mpg. I can assure you that the mpg the truck is displaying is, unfortunately, correct. I've also filed a complaint with Toyota corporate and they pushed it back to my local dealership. No kne is taking accountability for this false advertisement. Frankly, I'm disappointed Toyota can continue to sell vehicles with fakse information. This reminds me of the VW diesel debacle years ago when VW finally got exposed for wrongdoing. I know many others have expressed this same concern. I hope NHTSA takes this matter seriously and forces Toyota to make this right somehow.

The fuel gauge will randomly move to full and stay there even if the tank was almost empty. You can be at half tank and then next day it shows full and it won-??t reset on its own. If you don-??t catch it you will think tanks full. This could easily strand someone who assumes they have a full tank. This occurs when vehicle is parked and off on restart it shows full.

Holiday trip from Alabama to New York on [XXX] the fuel gauges (2 warning systems) malfunctioned. Since new the fuel gauge always read 415-420 -??Miles to empty-?? after fueling, no wait. In the trip at one point after fueling the gauge started showing 24 miles until empty on a full take. This was after driving and stopping for lunch or snacks somewhere along the way. Not knowing which gauge was correct made us stop more frequently for fuel. After this event the -??Miles to Empty-?? has never went back to the original 415-422. The miles to empty has been sporadic from 24, 100+, 200+, 300+ And last night 370. I filed a complaint with Toyota and was given a case number. The dealer says -??they-??ve never heard of it-??. There are reports of this problem starting in 2022 and up models all over the internet but the dealer says -??you can-??t trust people on the www-??. Actually I do trust most of the Toyota Tundra users that are reporting these problems. This problem could cause drivers/ families to be stranded for various fuel reasons. As stated for my 1100 mile trip to and from NY it made me stop more frequently for fuel so I wouldn-??t chance being stranded with my family of 4. I shared a video and photo with Toyota when I opened the case. Now I am driving around helping them to figure out the problem since they refused to provide me a loaner car so they could research the problem. At the time of the initial event the gauge stayed at 24 miles to empty until I stopped for fuel. After getting the next tank the reading was sporadic until at some point going to the 300-??s reading but has never returned to the 415-422 reading that it had been for the full year prior.

Accelerating from a stop sign when the vehicle stalled and hesitated to go for approximately 2 seconds. The vehicle eventually accelerated with no issues afterwards. Cross traffic was nearby and had to slow down so my vehicle could clear the highway.

The safety issue I have is that my truck will display hesitation in moving forward or accelerating. I have been in a few intersections trying to turn left and when pressing on the gas pedal there is a delay in responding to the gas pedal being pushed. I-??ve discussed this with the dealer and was informed that this is normal behavior. The dead pedal has me very concerned for my safety and the safety of others while driving my truck.
- San Tan Valley, AZ, USA
Gas pedal intermittently goes completely NON-responsive. Vehicle will not accelerate when this issue occurs. Pulling out into traffic is very dangerous when this issue happens. No errors are reported from the vehicle but the gas pedal is completely dead during the issue.

This is my 4th time filling out this form. Fuel gauge and miles to empty will reset with the fuel gauge reading full and the miles to empty recalculating without putting fuel in the vehicle. My computer owners online account shows I have a fuel level of 153%.This truck has 2781 miles on it. The fuel gauge has reset itself 6 times in that mileage. Have now contacted Toyota Customer fulfillment and now have a case number for the problem. My dealer then contacted me within an hour of getting that case number. Will now hopefully being getting closer to a solution.

The gauge fails to display the correct fuel level, especially when the fuel is below a certain threshold, which raises concerns about the accuracy of the reading and the overall safety of the vehicle. It will show full when really fuel is 1/2 tank

Fuel gauge continues to reset to full with the miles to empty resting without putting gas in the truck. First reported to dealer and looked at on 7/12/24 with no solution. Second incident reported and truck left at dealer on 7/29/24. with no solution. 2 fuel gauge resets occured and reported to dealer on10/2/24 again with no solution except Toyota knows the problem but has no fixes. Last resetting of fuel gauge has occured on 10/9/24. I have been informed that other Toyota Tundra trucks have been into this dealership with the same problem of the fuel gauge resetting without putting any fuel in the truck. This vehicle should come with a reliable and working fuel gauge. This can become a hazard if running out of fuel. Dealership has now looked at this problem 3 times! 5 resets of the fuel gauge in 2315 miles.

Repeated resetting of fuel gauge to full without filling the gas tank. Have reported this problem and dealer tried to remedy but apparently not fixed. Truck filled on 9/18/24 and everything normal. Fuel gauge and miles to empty reset on 9/24/24 after having driven 59.5 miles. MPG stayed the same. Fuel gauge and miles to empty reset while truck was running after driving 25 miles since previous reset on 9/26/24. Watched the miles to empty roll on screen. Since previous dealer service can no longer use steering wheel button to reset the MPG. Can have a false sense of available fuel and cause potential accident if truck runs out of fuel on highway or get stranded somewhere.

Fuel gauge is showing full when the tank is half empty according to odometer. When the vehicle is parked even on a slight incline the fuel gauge resets to full no matter how empty the tank is. This is a known problem with these vehicle and I am worried about it running out of gas at high speeds. Thank you!

Reported fuel gauge problem previously in electrical category. Fuel gauge will reset itself to full without filling the gas tank. This has happened on 3 occasions with only 1000 miles on the vehicle. Have been to the dealership on several occasions with no permanent solution so far. First attempt at fix was to reprogram the combination meter and the gauge did accurately show the full level. However the problem reoccurred and brought vehicle back to dealer for 3rd trip and left it for 3 days. Dealer replicated the problem but corporate Toyota said it was due to the position of the sending unit in the tank. Can possibly cause serious problems if I run of of fuel on the highway or local road. Will have to monitor the fuel until Toyota comes up with a fix hopefully.
