2025 Toyota Tundra owner complaints

Unintended acceleration. When you stop the truck, and have the brake on, the rpms go down to idle ~650. As soon as you lift the brake, without touching the accelerator, the vehicle starts ramping up the rpms and moving. On level ground it will go to 1000 easily before you have to stop it. It will pull up a grade even while towing my boat. If you're in a line a traffic, say at a traffic light, and the light changes, traffic moves and the car ahead takes off their brakes, and you do same, the truck starts moving faster than the vehicle ahead without touching anything. It's idling too fast without the brake and doesn't stay at idle once the brake is off before you push the accelerator. First the dealer told me everything was "Normal" - it's supposed to do that. I've been driving veh

The vehicle has a recurring safety-related defect where there is a long, unpredictable pause (1–3 seconds) between pressing the accelerator from a stop and the truck actually accelerating. This hesitation occurs when pulling away from a stop sign, traffic light, or after braking to a stop in traffic, and is not normal throttle response or turbo lag. During this delay, the engine revs slightly but the truck does not move, creating a dangerous situation where the vehicle fails to respond when expected, especially in intersections or when merging. After the pause, the truck often surges forward abruptly, which can cause jerking and loss of control.

There is a lag in my 2025 platinum. I'm able to reproduce it and it's generally when I'm coming to a slow/stop (say a yield or a stop sign) and at the last minute I decide to go for it and hit the gas pretty hard. The delay is incredibly obvious.. like 2-3 seconds where NOTHING happens. Trying to roll through a yield and the machine decided it was just not going to respond to throttle for 2-3 seconds...

Several times when accelerating around traffic or cutting across the highway to work I have been nearly t boned when I'll step on the gas and the truck hesitates or does nothing. It usually hesitates for 3 to 5 seconds and then starts spinning tires or other times it will just start lightly accelerating no matter how much gas I give it. It's dangerous because the vehicle is so unpredictable and will eventually result in an accident.

When trying to pull out into traffic from a stop there is a hesitation at times. I go to press on the accelerator and the truck does not always move. There seems to be a delay at times. Seem dangerous when pulling out into traffic. It has happened multiple times. No sure if it is the transmission or what.

Throttle hesitation from stop. Delay in acceleration poses a safety risk when driving.

I’ve noticed that my Toyota Tundra occasionally fails to start moving from a complete stop at a light or stop sign and hesitates. I’ve pressed the gas pedal all the way down, but it doesn’t respond. It usually takes a second attempt before it will move from a stopped position. This first happened during my first week of owning the truck and has occurred a few more times since. I didn’t think much of it at first, but it happened again while I was stopped on an incline in a right-turn yield lane. I released the brake, and when I pressed the gas pedal, nothing happened—the truck even felt like it was rolling backward. I floored the gas, and after a few seconds, it finally took off. I started looking online and found that many others have reported the same issue. There’s even a YouTube video

Throttle delay/ hesitation that is very unpredictable.

Throttle lag, was stopped at a stop sign and had an opening to go, when I pressed on the gas the truck went as normal and then completely stopped accelerating. By the time it accelerated again it jolted the truck and was narrowly missed by cross traffic.

Throttle lag truck stalls out when you try to go from a stop. It will cause an accident if this is not fixed. Also engines keep blowing up with out the hybrid system your truck will not have any port to get over to a safe spot on the road. Toyota is replacing engines but the ones they are putting in the trucks are the same ones that are failing.

Stopped at a stop sign at an intersection. Intersection is 4-way, with only a 2-way stop. After ensuring cross-traffic was clear, initiated a left turn from being stopped at the stop sign. Released the brake pedal and began to accelerate.Truck only accelerated to 5mph, and then began to roll/drift into the intersection with no power. No response from gas pedal. Drifted into intersection and was nearly struck by an oncoming vehicle. Accelerator finally responded, lagged once more when attempting to accelerate quickly to get out of the intersection, and then began responding appropriately. I could have been T-boned by another motorist while drifting without acceleration ability through an intersection. My foot was firmly on the gas pedal, with no response. This was only one of two occurr

While starting to accelerate from a stop whether it is going straight or turning the truck hesitates and takes multiple seconds to start accelerating leading to a potentially dangerous situation especially when turning and you can't get out of oncoming traffics way. Also when at a slow roll trying to accelerate the truck just does not apply any power for multiple seconds delaying movement and potential to avoid an accident.

when u press the gas the speed hesitates sometimes

When making a left turn or pulling off from stop light the truck almost stalls out. Very dangerous when traffic is coming. Need a fix ASAP. Could cost people their lives.

Engine maintenance bearing failed at highway speed. I was able to coast to the roadside because there was no other traffic. Engine would not restart.

I was driving down the highway about 5 minutes, it was 34 degrees outside, family in car (with baby). No cars in front of me at all, didn’t drive through an underpass, didn’t hit any potholes, and out of nowhere the front panoramic sunroof exploded. It sounded like a gunshot in my truck cabin. Thankfully I keep the sunshade closed or else glass would have flew into my pregnant wife’s face and my baby’s face. I believe most glass was captured in my sunshade, going to the dealership first thing tomorrow morning. Not excited on what the response will be, google shows a lot of mixed reviews. This is a 5 month old truck, very frustrating to have this happen to my first brand new vehicle.

I continuously experience throttle delay when accelerating from a stop. This has almost led to being hit several times when pulling out into an intersection. This seems to be a common issue for newer Tundras

Tires have 15,000 miles on them and are the stock OEM tires/wheels. They have excessive outer tire wear and need replaced from this. Inner tire wear is on par with the center tire wear. Alignment is confirmed to Toyota OEM specs.

Cherokee County Toyota sold me a truck that has consistently had recalls. Brake lights not working, back up camera not working, media console not working, evaportating coolant. I took it to Cherokee County Toyota several times with zero issues resolved. I then left them a negative review on google due to their lack of professionalism and honesty. They then sent me a text stating they refused to fix any of the safety recalls at their dealership due to the negative google review that they fully deserved. A vehicle without brake lights and cameras is a safety hazard. I explained that my children ride in this vehicle and it put my whole family at risk and they needed to service it. They still refused. Multiple calls to service managers, sales manager. Nobody ever called me back.This dealership

The vehicle does not predictably respond to throttle inputs (if it responds at all), when you come off the brake pedal it will begin rolling at "idle" speed as normal but when you begin to increase throttle input NOTHING will happen for several very important seconds as you roll into an intersection or need the vehicle to accelerate to maneuver. This had happened multiple times before scheduling service appointments. The day BEFORE my appointment while trying to make a right hand turn from EB 13st St in Lemont IL to SB Bell Rd, i had stopped for the red light, verified clearance to make the turn, and began my maneuver. Once I came off the brake pedal the vehicle began to roll into the intersection but as I began to turn the vehicle and try to accelerate though the turn it did not respon
