Equipment Problems of Toyota Tundra - part 2

Known issue with these trucks apparently. Occasional throttle lag after stopping at a stop sign, with little response from the gas pedal. On November/December of this month pulling out into a main road with traffic coming, I stepped on the gas and experienced a complete "dead pedal". I stepped on the gas and had 0 response from the truck staying at 5-10 mph. With cars now coming towards me quickly as I was not moving I floored the gas pedal and had 0 response for another 2-3 seconds until finally the truck jolted at an extreme rate of speed. *also have a dash cam that recorded in the incident of me flooring it with some vulgar words as cars were coming and the truck was not moving at all.

While driving today, the sunroof spontaneously exploded. It exploded up and outward. There were no other cars/trucks nearby. I have never heard anything hit the sunroof before either. The truck is 3 weeks old and has only 1800 miles on it.

This is now a safety risk because I carry my child in the car, and I’m scared that my engine will lose power while I’m driving according to the recall. This is so irresponsible of Toyota that they still don’t have a remedy and I have been waiting.

Component: electrical harness + vehicle shakiness problem: car would enter limp mode randomly and shut the car down to 18 mph and can cause accidents anywhere, especially in highway where speed limits are 65+. Car also now starts shaking violently when 48 mph is reached which is a safety concern. Reproduce: first turn taking into dealer they found issue then “disappeared” and they could not reproduce, went in again and they produced it then said that I tried tampering the engine then got corporate involved and they paid all of it. Now they are ghosting me and will not check out the shakiness. Inspected: only by summit Toyota dealership (akron ohio) warning lamps: only appeared after issue happened and disappeared when first issue was solved.

I experience hesitation when applying the throttle from a stop followed by surging. This is incredibly alarming when trying to pull away from a stop sign or light, especially in residential areas with pedestrian traffic.

Toyota won’t cover the safety recalls on my truck.

Brand new truck - less than a week, made it to 500 miles with a road trip. Yesterday driving home from work going roughly 25mph, I heard a loud bang as if a firearm went of in the cab of the truck. It was extremely loud, and very startling to my core. The fixed portion of the sunroof over the back seat shattered out of nowhere. In my opinion it was installed under unknown torque compression stress, and the back portion of the sunroof shattered with an explosion effect as a result.

I was at a tea intersection and I needed to pull into traffic. This is the second time it’s happened by the way. And the traffic was pretty heavy, but if I really put on the grass, I’d be able to get into my lane no problem and as I was going to get into the lane and merge in the traffic, the gas shut off the brake warning went on because cars were coming at me to my left. I believe it’s the Toyota safety sense that stopped the gas into my car. The throttle was nonresponsive for a second or so, and it almost caused an accident the dealership has been made aware and the shop foreman says it’s a problem with Toyota safety sense and they told me they documented it when I brought my car in.

Frame corrosion: there was originally a customer service campaign for 2000-2003 Toyota Tundra’s for frame corrosion that was extended under administration tracking code “bxd. ” my vehicle was manufactured in indiana and has major frame rust on the rear cross member portion of the frame. This extension has no expiration date and the vehicle has excessive damage to the frame. Please help authorize the replacement of this frame as the vehicle only has 150,000 miles and has a clean title. Any help would be appreciated.

The driver and passenger windows intermittently skip and get stuck while moving up or down. They struggle to operate smoothly and don’t function properly.

Throttle lag, takes a couple of seconds for the truck to register me pressing on the gas before jolting forward. Not only frustrating but dangerous.

The tailgate will not go down when you push the bottom that is on the tail light or when you push the button inside the truck it will not go down. It makes the noise like if it is going to but gets stuck.

This sunroof has a rattle that will not stop. I have taken it to a Toyota dealer twice, and was told this was a known issue and will do what they can to help with the rattle. The sunroof shakes and rattles like glass hitting the tracks, or glass hitting metal when driving down the road. I am afraid one bump will shatter the glass. Will be returning to the dealership for a third time today to see if it can be fixed.

I’ve notice that when coming to a stop or yield when you press the gas pedal to go or continue driving there’s a lag or delay. This has happened more than 4-5 times since I purchased the truck on December 23, 2024. The last time it happened was last Saturday August 9, 2025. Truck was on sport mode, auto stop/start was off. I’m at a light waiting to make a right turn, when I pressed the gas pedal to go it went forward and felt like I slammed the brakes. I had to take my foot off the gas pedal, brake, then gas it up again to go. It is a little scary because this could cause an accident. I’ve taken my truck to the dealership about this, but they said they can’t do anything about it because they cannot recreate the issue.

The headliner in the truck is falling down. It appears that this is happening to a lot of them due to some faulty velcro. Seam to ve a pretty wide spread issue and is definitely a sadety concern if this happens while driving.

The frame on my 2006 Toyota Tundra sr5 has severe corrosion and multiple areas of rust perforation despite being treated under Toyota’s limited service campaign d0d in 2015. During that campaign, the dealer removed the bed, documented active rust on the frame, cleaned it, and applied corrosion-resistant compound (crc) to key areas as the preventative remedy. As documented in multiple repairs the corrosion was already advancing at the time the crc was applied, the steering shaft boot was replaced the same day as the compound was put on at 93,822 miles, several other critical safety failure shortly after; the brake pivots seized at 94900, rotors rust pitted at 99537, bumper had perforations at 109407, 1 brake line from master cylinder and 1 brake line from abs actuator leaking near the junction block on l/s of the frame at 113422, 52 days later the shift cable was broken at 114904. The current perforation and delamination indicate that the d0d remedy failed to prevent structural degradation as intended. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle’s structural integrity is severely compromised, creating a risk of frame failure while driving. This puts my safety and the safety of others at risk due to potential loss of control or component separation. The problem has not yet been inspected by the dealer in its current condition but has been escalated to Toyota corporate. I have attached the communications with them. The truck has been fully serviced through Toyota since new, with the last documented service in January 2021. There were no warning lamps or dashboard messages prior to the failure. Visible rust first appeared prior to the d0d treatment and has now progressed to full perforation. The vehicle is currently unsafe to drive.

I have been having issues with engine hesitation, especially when pulling out onto the highway. More noticeable as we live out of town and our entrance is on a highway curve. As when I pull out, the response time is bad and had nearly caused us to get into a accident.

Front active spoiler malfunction last week I took the vehicle into Toyota due to this malfunction message on the vehicle. The spoiler failed and remained in the down position, unknowingly causing additional damage to the spoiler flap. It was determined that the motor assembly was not working and needed to be replaced. The motor, flap and related assemblies were replaced under warranty by the dealership on 07/17/2025. Within 2 days, the spoiler was stuck in the down position again, this time without the malfunction message on the vehicle. With this being stuck in the down position, it can potentially cause more damage to the vehicle being in the down position and lead to debris in the roadway depending on the damage. Toyota manual states to avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds when this issue is present. However, owners with this issue would not know there is an issue if the vehicle is not presenting an error while functioning improperly. The vehicle is scheduled to be looked at again tomorrow 07/22/2025, at corwin Toyota of colorado springs.

I own a 2006 Toyota Tundra with severe frame corrosion and rot. The rust has eaten through major portions of the frame, especially around the rear crossmember and leaf spring mounts. It has compromised the vehicle’s safety and structural integrity. Toyota previously offered frame replacements and extended corrosion coverage for similar models (tacoma, sequoia, and certain Tundras), but my VIN was denied even though the issue is identical. The corrosion is so severe that it poses a risk of the frame snapping or suspension components detaching while driving. This is a serious safety defect, not just cosmetic rust. The frame can fail without warning, which could lead to loss of control or an accident. Toyota should be required to inspect and address this defect for all affected vehicles. Location of problem: frame rails, rear crossmember, spare tire area, and control arm mounts. Date problem occurred: 07/09/2025 I’m requesting that NHTSA investigate and require Toyota to include my vehicle in their frame corrosion program or issue a new recall covering affected first-generation Tundras.

When attempting to move forward from a stop, there is a momentary delay in the truck responding to stepping on the accelerator pedal. This is a real safety concern when attempting to pull into traffic, as the "dead spot" in the pedal occurs after the truck has already moved forward a few feet, leaving the front end of the truck out in the traffic lane. It appears to be related to the automatic transmission starting in 4th gear, as I can move the shift lever to manual shifting mode and start out in 2nd gear with no hesitation. Once moving I simply move back to drive mode. This has been an ongoing concern, reported from the first service (10k) on my truck, which now has 45k miles. I received the remedy engine at 37k miles under the safety recall. Toyota seems to be aware of the issue, as they flashed the tcm once, which seemed to help briefly, however the problem quickly returned. I am not the only Tundra owner reporting this issue.

Loud whistling noise from side mirrors at various speeds even when radio is turned up.

I took my truck to the dealership of Toyota in riverside, CA and the staff there told me there was no recall for my vehicle. Can you please verify if my vehicle is under warranty? I also went to the smog inspection and told them about my situation and they said my vehicle may not be under recall since sometimes certain vehicles under the same year are grouped together with a specific recall.

You step on accelerator and it doesn’t accelerate… it lags and almost caused accident more than 4 times! throttle body won’t open up and go. I feel they need to remap the system.

The built-in navigation system in my 2019 Toyota Tundra is dangerously outdated and cannot be updated over-the-air (ota). Recently, it misrouted me into a remote, unfamiliar area with no cell service and incorrect road data. If I hadn’t had enough fuel, I could have been stranded in potentially life-threatening conditions. Toyota continues to install these systems with outdated maps and no ota functionality, while presenting them as part of a reliable, intelligent driving experience. This is not a minor tech issue—it is a safety failure. Drivers are led to trust a system that cannot be trusted. I want to be clear: this experience has completely changed how I view Toyota as a brand. What seemed like a small, fixable flaw turned into a moment of genuine danger. That moment told me everything I needed to know about Toyota’s priorities—and Toyota is no longer in my future because of it. I urge NHTSA to investigate this as a potential recall-level issue. A navigation system that actively misleads the driver and offers no timely updates is not just broken—it’s hazardous.

My vehicle is subject to multiple recalls, including a serious safety recall. On November 6, 2025, Toyota issued NHTSA safety recall 25v767 stating that the engine may stall during driving, creating a crash risk. As of today, no repair remedy has been made available. Because of this safety risk, I stopped driving the vehicle. The issue has not occurred because I discontinued use out of safety concerns. An earlier recall, NHTSA recall 25v322 issued on may 15, 2025 regarding reverse lamps becoming inoperable, also remains unresolved with no available remedy. Toyota acknowledged the safety concern by authorizing a rental vehicle. I am concerned about the lack of a repair timeline and the safety of this vehicle.

I am the original owner of a brand new 2024 Toyota Tundra trd pro, and this issue began within the first 15,000 miles of regular dealer-maintained use. At approximately 14,800 miles, I noticed unusual and rapid outer shoulder wear on all four oem falken wildpeak a/t3w 285/65r18 tires. A professional alignment inspection performed by Toyota carlsbad dealership confirmed that the factory-set front toe angle was significantly out of Toyota’s specification (left front toe: +0. 30°, right front: +0. 10°, total front toe: +0. 39°). This incorrect alignment was present from the factory and caused tire damage before any corrections were made. These settings match exactly what is described in Toyota limited service campaign 24td01, which applies to 2022–2023 Tundra models. However, my 2024 vehicle is not included, even though the defect and symptoms are identical. The alignment defect was confirmed and corrected by the dealership, but Toyota refused to replace the damaged tires, stating it is not a warrantable condition. However, this wear was directly caused by the misalignment on a new, factory-spec vehicle, maintained per Toyota guidelines. This condition presents a clear safety risk, as premature outer tire wear significantly reduces traction, affects handling, and increases stopping distance—especially in wet or emergency conditions. There were no warning lights or messages, making the condition undetectable until visible tire damage occurred. I filed a formal complaint with Toyota USA, but they declined further assistance. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether Toyota should expand campaign 24td01 to include 2024 models with the same alignment-related defect. The tires are available for inspection. I have supporting documentation including alignment reports, photos of tire wear, and communications with Toyota regarding this case #.

Transmission or engine has a lag, or dead spot from a complete stop to acceleration, such as leaving a stop light. At times barely noticable, other times it seems the engine is going to die. Dangerous when pulling onto a busy street from a side street. Dealership says "unable to replicate" which is understandable, as it's somewhat intermittent. This appears to be with all model year 2022 and newer Toyota Tundras.

Only had the truck for 3 weeks, I'm starting to feel a lag when accelerating. I thought it was just the turbo lagging, but it may be the gas pedal communicating as I barely ease into it.

My vehicle experiences throttle lag/hesitation from a stop or rolling start. The issue is intermittent and the delay can vary on how long untill the vehicle goes.

While parked on may 8, 2025, the sunroof glass on my 2023 Toyota Tundra spontaneously shattered. Minutes earlier, I had moved the vehicle from my driveway to the street. I have home security video that shows the sunroof panel visibly flexing when I closed the driver’s door—suggesting internal stress. Later, when I opened the door again and got inside, the glass suddenly exploded, creating a loud noise and sending shards across the sunroof liner. The glass appeared to explode outward rather than inward, suggesting a possible pressure buildup. This vehicle had just received its 40,000-mile service, and the glass was intact and undamaged beforehand. There were no warning lights, impact marks, or objects that could cause damage near the truck at the time. The failure occurred under normal conditions—no driving, no people around. I consider this a serious safety risk: if this had occurred while driving or with passengers inside, it could have caused injury or distraction-related accidents. I have multiple videos from my home security system showing: 1. The sunroof flexing under door pressure 2. The moment the glass shatters the dealer (bayside Toyota) is scheduled to inspect the vehicle. The failed sunroof is available for inspection upon request. I have also asked the dealership to file this incident as a safety incident related to the Toyota Tundra.

Hesitation at acceleration. Especially from start.

Purchased a 2014 Toyota Tundra on facebook marketplace from an individual on 4/27/2025 the seller represented the mileage as 88,461 miles, but after reviewing the vehicle history through carfax/autocheck, I discovered that the actual mileage is significantly higher. The odometer appears to have been rolled back. I have filed a police report regarding this fraud and am submitting this complaint to report the tampering. I have supporting documentation including the listing, communication with the seller, and the vehicle history report.
