general problems of the 2022 Toyota Tundra - part 2

Throttle lag/surge. Several times, from a stop, I've pushed on the accelerator pedal and the vehicle hasn't responded only to surge after. Something is wrong, multiple people have reported the issue to Toyota but they haven't responded. This forum thread shows multiple others are having the issue too. . Read more...

There is a hesitation / loss of power when starting from a stop . I have had it to the dealership a few times and the did a bulletin update for the transmission at least two times. The problem continues and is a safety hazard. There is a recall to replace the engine because of possible debris. When this is done I hope this issue will be resolved but I am not to hopeful.

Apple carplay does not mute music when playing back text messages. This does not allow the driver to hear the message sent to them and requires they open up their phone to read the message. The point of apple carplay is to allow the driver to listen to and respond to text messages using their voice. I brought up my concern with Toyota and my dealership and they both said it's working as designed, despite the fact that apple carplay does not behave this way in any other vehicle.

While driving during rush hour on a 7 lane roadway (600 block south fm 157, euless, tarrant county, texas 76040) on 07/19/2022 the vehicle's engine turned off. Engine and power steering were inoperable, causing me to be stuck in the left lane of traffic. Numerous warning lights and messages appeared. Truck would attempt to start, but would not. I am a police officer in euless, texas and called our wrecker service and police department to provide traffic control until the vehicle could be towed from the roadway. I was nearly struck by several vehicles while waiting for assistance. Toyota was contacted and their wrecker arrived approx. 2 hours later at the euless police dept. To pick up my vehicle and tow it to Toyota of denton (TX). Toyota of denton has the truck, claiming an "ecu" computer failure. On 07/28/2022 the service department advised the vehicle was repaired and ready to be picked up. On 08/01/2022 I arrived at Toyota of denton, started my truck, and was given a check engine message stating "engine maintenance required visit your dealer". I did not attempt to drive the vehicle. The service technician drove the truck back into the shop. I was advised there were addition codes from the ecu, and they still have the vehicle at this time (08/02/2022 1633 hours) with no updates.

The trailer brake controller is set to automatically be off until you setup a trailer. So yes, the problem is very repeatable, it's the default setting in the Tundra. I traveled a rocky mountain mountain pass towing a 6,500# trailer and had extreme brake fade because unknownst to me the trailer brake controller was off because I didn't setup a trailer in the dash. I manually controlled the gears and kept in 2nd gear down the entire grade. My driving history is towing trailers with a old Ford ranger ('95?) and 2014 Ford expedition. The Ford has brake controls and I would use it to tow 3,000#. I don't remember if the Ford ranger had a brake controller. So my experience is limited. I bought a brand new 22 Toyota Tundra and read the manual for pulling a travel trailer (tt). I upgraded my travel trailer from 3,000# to 6,500# gvwr. It was essentially my first towing trip with both vehicles. I plugged in the tt. Dashboard said "trailer detected". I turned the dial in the middle to "tow mode". Those signals said to me everything is good. My mistake: when I adjusted the gain manually in the dash it said "trailer brake controller off". In my mind, I interpreted that as the manual controller was off. Not sure why. I should have stopped there. But dash kept saying "trailer detected" so I kept driving. Long story short, after driving the pass and nearly losing the brakes I stopped what I was doing and spent 30 minutes playing in the dash and reading the manual more. I setup the trailer I was driving in the dashboard. No where in the manual does it say "trailer brake controller off until you setup trailer in dash. " when I set it up in the dash, I realized that the brake controller defualt was off, even if it says "trailer detected". I could tell because the manual brake controller started working.

Vehicle hesitates when accelerating from a stop.

I have been noticing since the beginning to middle of March 2022 the truck has been stalling while driving. It has happened 4 times since that time. Twice while in traffic and twice while driving on the highway. You have to come to a complete stop, put the vehicle in park and start the vehicle again. One time it happened we were almost rear ended by a semi truck driving behind us. Along with that, the air bag malfunction light has been coming on and off every few days. The fuel gauge has been showing all different fuel amounts as well every day. The truck has been a Toyota dealer for the past week and been communicating with Toyota engineers and I have been told by the service advisor Toyota is aware of these problems but do not have a fix. My family is terrified to drive the truck any longer and is a very dangerous and serious problem. I am not the only one who is experiencing this based on my own research. I did tell my dealer to document this on my record in detail as if anything happens to my family because of an engineering error I will take this to the highest level ever seen.

Wile driving forward on freeway 70 mph vehicle rear parking collision warning came on. Immediately truck lost power and display showed reduced power because turbo/wastegate issue. Truck lost all power started shaking and trying to brake on its own.
