Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Toyota Tundra - part 2

I am writing to file an official complaint regarding a safety issue involving the engine on my 2022 Toyota Tundra, which is subject to an open recall. The component in question has reportedly experienced a malfunction that presents a severe safety hazard. Specifically, I have been informed that there is a potential defect that could lead to the engine catching fire, as indicated by the recall notice. However, I have also been informed that no remedy is currently available for this issue, which has left me with an unresolved and potentially dangerous vehicle. **safety risk assessment:** this issue places both my safety and the safety of others at significant risk. An engine fire could occur suddenly, which would pose an immediate danger to passengers, other motorists, and pedestrians. The inability to have the defect remedied promptly has heightened my concerns, as I am left with limited options for safely using my vehicle. **confirmation and inspection:** the issue has been acknowledged by Toyota through an official recall, but a dealer has not been able to inspect or repair the vehicle due to the lack of an available fix for this defect. Despite my attempts to seek a solution, I have been informed that the problem cannot currently be resolved, leaving my vehicle in an unsafe condition. **warning signs:** no warning signs were present prior to learning of the recall **request for assistance:** given the severity of this issue and the absence of an available remedy, I am requesting assistance from the NHTSA to ensure that Toyota addresses this defect urgently. I am concerned about the safety implications of continuing to operate my vehicle in this condition, and I seek guidance on how to proceed to mitigate risk while awaiting an official resolution from Toyota. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your support in addressing this critical safety issue. **sincerely,** [xxx] ] [xxx] [xxx] ] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 55.

While driving at various speeds (25mph or 65mph) I let off on the accelerator to either slow down or come to a stop, when accelerating again I get a check engine light and I have no power. I limp along for several minutes then all of a sudden the fuel pedal sensor that tells the ecu where the fuel pedal is at catches up and I’m able to continue on with my ride. This is a very dangerous situation to have happen because you are not expecting it and when it does happen it is very unnerving. I’ve spoken to various Toyota dealers and there seems to be a nonchalant attitude about it.

After stopping at a stop sign I attempted to cross the traffic to enter another lane. When I began to proceed I lost all power to the vehicle. The engine was still running but the accelerator pedal had no effect on the engine. As I was trying to cross the traffic, the vehicles I was trying avoid were now having to brake for me because I was in the middle of the road with no power. There were no warning lights or sounds produced, the vehicle just suddenly started to accelerate again. I currently have an appointment at the dealership. This problem has occurred three times in six months.

Hesitation from a stop. Vehicle isn’t following pedal input and at times can put me into a side collision. Lane keep assist is dangerous and throws me off the road constantly. At times the lane assist will fight my input at the wheel and pull me off-road and over the lines.

When stopped at a traffic light waiting to make a left turn, I accelerated to start the turn. The truck moved forward slightly and stopped. All throttle response was gone and I was not able to move from the intersection and oncoming traffic. About 4 seconds later the throttle response returned and it drove normally. I was almost hit by an oncoming car for being stopped in the road. This occurs frequently at stop signs when I stop and go to accelerate. It is dangerous to not know if the truck will respond or not while turning in traffic.

There are two recurring issues effecting my truck. These have been ongoing for 6 months, since March of this year. I have been to my dealer lum's in warrenton, oregon 8 times for this. They have been unavailable to fix the issues and told me they needed a Toyota factory person to fix the issues because they do not have anyone at the dealership that can do it. Nate whisnant, the service manger at lum's was suppose to make this happen but he has not. They are not responding. I have sent a request to my sales person liz valsqueze try to get some movement from lum's. These issues are described by my launch code reading tool, which I had to buy to clear the codes to keep my truck operational as designed. The issues are two issues for the power system: 1. P2450 7e 2. Evaporative emissions system switching valve actuator stuck on there are two issues for vehicle body system: 1. Evaporative emission system switching vlave performance/stuck open 2. Lost communication with image processing module "b" missing message effectively what this means is that: 1. The truck throws a check engine light and asks me to contact the dealer while simultaneously disabling all cruise control related functions. 2. The cameras used for parking, backing, checking the security of loads I the bed etc are all disabled. All camera's around the truck are disabled not allowing for safety checks when pulling into or out of parking, etc. It is unsafe not to have a view around my truck when pulling in and out of tight places. It it unsafe not to have fatigue reducing cruise control on long trips and in heavy traffic with collision braking assistance that does not work. This vehicle is available for inspection by anyone that will take the time to inspect it. The is a constant warning lamp that does not go off asking me to contact the dealer to fix it. These warning lamps first appeared in February 2024. I purchased the truck in December 2023. The dealer has not fixed the problems.

When attempting to accelerate, the vehicle idles down and fails to accelerate for a period of 2-3 seconds. To initiate normal acceleration, fully depressing the accelerator pedal is required vs. A gradual depression of the pedal.

The issue is with the auto-braking or pre collision system. Have had multiple instances where system has engaged at low speed which also engaged the auto engine stop feature when it was not necessary. Have noticed system engages on roads with curves where it thinks the vehicle in the other lane is in front of me when its not. The most unsafe thing that happened was when a vehicle quickly changed lanes in front of me and slowed slightly. I saw the other vehicle make the unsafe lane change and was covering the brake and when I pressed the brake it went out from under my foot braking hard on its own when it was not necessary. Vehicle slowed from 65 to about 35 quickly almost causing vehicle behind me to rear end me with no way to stop the system. Since I have owned this vehicle auto brake system has engaged about 5 times and all were not necessary or unsafe. I have lowered sensitivity setting and still have the issue, and am unable to disable system.

* according to the different computers codes the issue is secondary air injection pump failure. *driving on the highway I had the limp mode which created a drastic velocity drop from 70 mph to 40 mph which created a situation that almost ended up in having another car hitting me from behind. .

In some cases when slowing down to a very low speed an trying to to accelerate again. There can be either a brief (1/2 second) or a very long ( > 1/2 second) delay between pressing the accelerator and the engine responding. Because of this delay its very hard to gauge when and how the vehicle will respond. In some conditions this can be a safety concern as the vehicle behaves unpredictably. I was able to verify this with engine logging data the data shows that the computer acknowledges the accelerator position but fails to advance the throttle or by any means add power for a period of time and then behaves in a expected manner after a delay between 1/2 to 1 second. The best I can gather the problem happens in a timing window when the transmission shifts from a higher gear to 1st gear. I took into the dealer who also verified the concern and opened a tas case with Toyota. Tas took my data but provided no information or guidance to the dealership.

2012 Tundra faced a lot of problems like air injection pump failures, sticking of secondary air pumps, knock, along with other issues like speed control, engine cooling, and throttle failure. At present, it has been slapped with 136 complaints, 4 recalls, and 1 investigation as recorded on NHTSA site. Sep 2, 2022.

Sudden maximum acceleration accompanied by brake failure, without warnings, occurred on my 2002 Toyota Tundra 4. 7l v8 causing loss of control of the vehicle, which ended in a rollover crash, resulting in total loss of the vehicle and injury to me. While departing a 25 mph zone (sign read "end 25 speed limit") on a relatively straight section of the road, I very gently accelerated from 20 mph to 30 mph. As soon as the vehicle reached 30 mph, sudden maximum acceleration occurred. Taking my foot off of the gas pedal, first I verified that the gas pedal was not stuck or blocked, but the gas pedal was in the fully up position. I then pressed the brake pedal very hard, but it was locked in the fully up position and the brakes would not engage. I then verified that nothing was blocking the brake pedal underneath it. At that point, around 3 to 4 seconds after the sudden acceleration began, I had entered the first turn of a 30 mph "s" turn at a high rate of speed, while acceleration continued at the vehicle's maximum acceleration rate beyond my control with the brakes not engaging. In order to avoid collision with a camper motor home and a small car following it, I went into the oncoming traffic lane at the second turn of the "s" turn. My truck fish tailed and struck a reflector marker on the left side of the road. To avoid going down a 50+ foot, nearly straight down drop on the left side of the road, I turned right. To avoid striking the motor home, I turned left, then right again to try to gain control. My truck rolled on its left side and landed upright on the right side of the road. It had been accelerating at its maximum acceleration rate with the brakes failing to engage and fish tailing the entire time. The problem appeared to be a catastrophic failure of the electronic throttle control and/or related electronic systems.

The vehicle suffers extreme throttle lag. Pulling away from a stop sign, or turning into traffic the vehicle does not respond to gentle acceleration. After a few seconds the vehicle jumps forward almost as though it jumps into gear. This has left me sitting in intersections and has placed me in several dangerous situations. This is a safety hazard.

Hesitation on accelerator going from reverse o drive or park to drive.

We had just provided a jump start from our truck to a disabled older Honda passport with a suspected low battery. This wasn't successful as it turns out it was a broken fuel pump causing the issue with the Honda. We had taken off the jumper cables, closed the hood and I pulled over to let my husband get into the vehicle. I was at idle, in drive with my foot on the brake when our Tundra started to accelerate rapidly. My husband wasn't even fully in the vehicle. We were on a one way street in a mixed residential/commercial neighborhood about 4 buildings down from a t intersection with a light. Luckily, the light was green in our favor as I had literally no control of the acceleration of the vehicle. I had my foot slammed on the brake with no response. We entered the intersection going roughly 25-35 miles an hour and careened left into the correct lane for our vehicle. Again, we were extremely lucky that there were no other cars in front of us nor any pedestrians. I was in a panic as the truck kept accelerating. I slammed on the emergency brake and threw the car from drive into park and only then did the truck slow it's crazy acceleration. We pulled over to the side of the road and I jumped out and wouldn't get into that truck again. My husband started the truck again and it seemed fine so he drove it the mile or so home with no incident. The next day he drove it 6 miles to a mechanic's shop , again with no incident. The mechanics performed tests on all the suspect parts and couldn't find anything defective. In the meantime, I came across stories on the internet about previous problems with some Toyota's unintended acceleration problems caused by faulty electronic throttle systems so I have asked my mechanics to replace ours in our truck . We do not have a floor mat, so that clearly was not the issue.

1. There is some sort of severe throttle lag/takeoff issue that happens intermittently, but almost always several times a day. Always from a stopped position. 2. When you are turning left (going across the oncoming lane) you hit the gas pedal and nothing happens for 2-3 seconds and then it shoots off like a rocket ship. I have never been so close to a severely injured or more likely fatal car crash. This severity has happened twice, once with my daughter in the car. 3. Not yet. Looks like there had almost been a class action law suit back to 2022 model year (same engine I believe). 4. No 5. No warning lights ever. As stated this is going back to 2022 and I haven’t visited a dealer yet as they tell the owners (there is no fix for the issue). Hoping this forum can make a difference.

On 5 different occasions between January-March 2023 the accelerator pedal continued to accelerate after the pedal pressure was released. Even with braking, the accelerator pedal did not decelerate. Pedal had to be lifted back to original position by using toe of foot underneath the pedal. Occurred 4 times in city driving and once on highway. Extremely hazardous conditions if I did not react to stop the acceleration. On three of the occasions I was behind a vehicle which could have caused an accident had my reaction not been quick. Toyota dealership stated all previous recalls in regards to accelerator pedal were complied with and refused any additional service to uncontrolled acceleration issues.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tundra. The contact initially received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 09v388000(vehicle speed control); the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the recall was serviced. Recently, the contact stated that as his wife was exiting their driveway, the vehicle independently accelerated without warning. The contact's wife turned the vehicle into her yard where she hit four trees and then crashed into a big tree which stopped the vehicle. The air bags deployed once she crashed into the bigger tree. The contact's wife was thrown to the right and hit her head on the rear view mirror. His wife was taken to the hospital by ambulance where she was treated for the head wound and a back pain. She later sought treatment from an orthopedic doctor where they discovered three compressed fractures to her vertebrae(t1, t2, and t3). A police report was filed. The contact did his own investigation into the accident and discovered that black box had recorded that the vehicle's speed was 42. 3 mph at the time of the failure. Both the dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure but both offered no assistance. The vehicle remained in the contact's possession. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 164,000.

As I am driving down the pickup loses power/ has no power. Was driving down the interstate and trying to make it up the harbor bridge I could only go 40. Then try to pass a semi that (bad driver) was dangerously close, I could not even pass him. Not to mention people were angry at me and getting defensive. There were no warning lights, I took it in immediately. It has been inspected by my secondary warranty I purchased. ( tripple diamond 1-833-909-0015 or 1-844-526-0415 our policy # is 88ds4605578 under troy &, heather simonsen -so I take it to the Toyota dealership in corpus christi texas, they then tell me it is my secondary air pump (both sides) and valves including gasket, air tube, pump assembly, air, (2 both sides)/inlet, air pump(1) and valve set, emission (1) that was on 12-16-2022 (it has been there since) this will cost me $3,205. 38 out of pocket. But the real problem is that there is a long waiting list of people waiting for this same part, so no one can get it. Many people with the same problem last I called I was 44 people in line. I only have 75,000 miles on my truck, and still have the same tires that are in great shape (I rotate them) so for this to happen seems strange, I take special care of this truck.

Throttle sticks. When pressing acceleration pedal down from a stop or from a change of reverse to drive, there is a 2 second lag. This issue can cause serious problems if you’re pulling out from a stop sign. A burst of acceleration then happens after the 2 second lag, causing cabin disturbance.

The brakes failed while traveling 72 miles per hour on cruise control, and controlled distance. I was traveling behind a semi truck in the third lane from the right on interstate 5 near stockton, calif. Coming upon the truck the Tundra started to accelerate, I hit the brakes numerous times yet Tundra continued to accelerate, so I hit cancel on speed control, thru into park, and navigated three lanes left in heavy traffic into the median, still hitting my breaks, finally stopped the Tundra with emergency break, but took the right rear tire off the rim in my violent exit to the median, inspection has been complete from Toyota mfg. Saying I have a normal truck, dealer can not confirm problem, there were no warning signs. I am a very experience large animal veterinarian driving over 3 million miles in my career with no accidents, or moving violations. I own a 2007 Tundra with 200,000 miles, no incidents, I know where the brakes are on a Tundra.

I have multiple problems with the dash lights going on and off , have taken it to car repair when scanned and had replaced relays many times. I have read many stories of people having the same problem with Toyota Tundras and no one can figure it out. Toyota should have a recall for this because it is not just one or two people with this same exact problem, it is many Toyota Tundra owners going through the same problems that I' am experiencing.

Secondary air injection pump has high rate of failure, recalls in older models. Has caused truck to go into limp mode. Could cause serious accident/fatality if vehicle suddenly goes into limp mode on highway. This has happened on multiple occasions in forums I’ve read. Known problem by Toyota that isn’t being addressed.

The accelerator is very hesitant from a complete stop. It hesitates and has almost caused several accidents. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it from for its 1st maintenance and told them about the issue and they could not find anything wrong with it. This is a constant persistent complaint. I pick up the vehicle with 27 miles and occurs at every stop, every day. The engine can be hot or cold. There is not any time that this does not happen. They gave me a loaner 2023 Tundra and it did not have any issues with the accelerator.

In stop and go traffic, when navigating round-abouts, and when accelerating away from controlled intersections (stop signals, stop signs, and yield signs), throttle control of the vehicle is inconsistent and unpredictable at slow speeds (between 1-3 mph). It behaves most poorly when attempting to accelerate after slowing, but not completely stopping. A situation drivers encounter often at yield signs, round-abouts, and stop signals that change to green while you are slowing. I have attempted to enter traffic with appropriate time/space and sufficiently pressed the accelerator only to have my vehicle sit stationary for another moment or two before lurching forward. By this time, my margin for error with approaching traffic was rapidly closing. Other times my vehicle has lurched forward when I only pressed the accelerator a small amount. I am aware of the lag in accelerating, but the lag in that 1-3 mph range is not consistent, so I can't consistently adjust for it. Recently, the truck lurched suddenly out of the parking spot I was in as soon as I took my foot off of the brake pedal. I was attempting to roll forward to have a better view around the vehicle parked next to me (I had backed into the parking spot). But rather than roll slightly forward, the truck lurched a couple feet. I caught it before impeding approaching cross traffic. But the sudden lurch visibly surprised the other driver and my passenger in the vehicle with me. (I will use this incident as the incident for the date report below, but the unpredictable throttle response is an ongoing issue that I deal with daily). I reported this issue to the dealer shortly after purchase of the vehicle. A field engineer from Toyota came out and test drove my vehicle, but I have heard nothing since. The service writer at the dealership acknowledged that other gen 3 Tundras he has test driven have behaved in a similar manner. My previous gen Tundra did not behave this way, nor do my other vehicles.

My lights are on and when taken to the dealership they said it was a recall.

Randomly when trying to accelerate from a stop or a slow roll (less than 5 mph) the throttle doesn't respond for 2-3 seconds then the truck will surge. When I say it doesn't respond I mean nothing happens no rpm increase or anything. The dealership wants me to believe that it is turbo lag, but that is just a decrease in power, not total loss of acceleration. This has been an issue since delivery.

The engine v6 turbo wastegate is defective. The problem causes a reduced engine power. Toyota and its dealership are trying to hide the problem from consumer. This vehicle is with michaels Toyota of bellevue in washington. There are numerous youtube buyer with the same problem. This problem requires the repair shop to lift up the body of the truck from the frame to get to the turbo part of the engine.

Vehicle accelerates slow where it takes time for truck to gain spread. Also the cruise control doesn’t work for some reason when button is pushed the cruise light comes on but truck doesn’t cruise on its own.

All of a sudden the pre-collision system malfunctions and stops working and the lights go on in the dashboard and then causes the cruse control to stop working as well. I took it to Toyota and they stated they did not know what the cause of it would be.

I was driving and all of a sudden my truck turned off a lot wreaked my truck due to losing power. Fuel pump control module is bad. This was a recall in the data base.

Vehicle began to accelerate down a steep hill and no matter what I tried to stop it, nothing happened, it just kept accelerating.

Vehicle began to accelerate down a steep hill and no matter what I tried to do to stop the vehicle nothing happened. It just kept accelerating. Lost control of vehicle, and was unable to negotiate the right hand turn. Vehicle slammed into a dirt embankment, then rolled over and reversed it's position. Consequently, I was trapped in a running vehicle with gasoline leaking and unable to shut off the engine. Had to wait 30n minutes for ems/fire rescue to arrive. Extrication took another 25-30 minutes. Transported to trauma center, york, PA.

Driving on highway 12/24 and 12/27 in medium traffic. Lost gas pedal. Engine still idling but pedal wouldn't work. Turned car off then back on pedal was back.
