2022 Toyota Tundra Complaint Log

Acceleration Lag/Hesitation, we are in the intersection fully stop yield before we go left. step on the pedal to go the truck go a little bit then suddenly lose power for a seconds and try to accelerate again just go. The car behind us almost hit me.

On 2022 - 2024 Toyota Tundra models, the vehicles are experiencing an issue where the fuel sensor will reset the digital and analog fuel displays back to showing a full tank without adding fuel to the tank. On my vehicle, the reset has been occurring around the 380 mile distance to empty level. I see numerous other reports about individuals experiencing the same issue. I believe this is a defect and could cause a vehicle to run out of gas without the driver expecting it.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the engine was blown while driving at 10 MPH. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The engine was replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that there was no warranty coverage associated with the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

While offloading my truck after getting back from vacation and with all the windows rolled down I noticed smoke coming out of the cab of my truck. Not know what it was or why smoke was coning from the inside of my truck I went to investigate and notice the top of the rear seat was melting and smoking. Absolutely no reason why that material should have started to melt and smoke. Outside temperature at the time was 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Only thing that I could think of was the light / reflection of the sun from our upstairs bedroom window. It is just a standard glass window so don't see how that would cause the material to melt, smoke and it absolutely looked like it was about to light up. I have an actual video of it smoking but website will not let me upload it.

Front end alignment is incorrect from Toyota factory. This is reflected in the service campaign 24TD01 for this vehicle. Toyota refuses to fix the problem, stating the campaign has expired. The alignment causes premature uneven wear of the tires, which is a safety problem. The 24TD01 campaign document states the dealer should complete the service prior to sale. Marietta Toyota DID NOT complete this service on my vehicle before sale.

While driving my 2022 tundra my reverse indicator light and back up camera began flashing while approaching an intersection. I stopped at the intersection to wait for the green light for a left turn onto the highway. I shifted into park and then back into drive but reverse indicator and camera kept flashing. After completing my left turn and accelerating to approximately 40 mph I heard a loud bang and my rear wheels locked causing me to slide sideways narrowly missing other vehicles next to me. After a second the wheels started spinning normally. The reverse indicator and camera continued flashing. After slowing I turned my hazard lights on and slowly drove the vehicle directly to the Toyota dealership. I told them what happened and provided a video of the flashing light and screen. I told them that the truck was no longer safe to drive and that I was fortunate that I didn’t cause an accident. They ran diagnostics on the vehicle which had many error codes for various modules. They have cleared the codes and are requesting that I take the vehicle back. They reported that they could not replicate and no repairs were made. I don’t think the vehicle is safe to drive with the possibility of it happening again in a more dangerous location at speed or with my family in the vehicle.

When at proceeding from a stop or a "rolling stop", the vehicle has delayed throttle response or lag. Causes big problem when trying to get into traffic. This has been ever since I have owned this vehicle.

While at a 2-way stop sign, when attempting to accelerate while turning right, the truck hesitated and did not move. Pressing the accelerator further down did nothing for what felt like 1-3 seconds and then all of a sudden it rushed forward. This is incredibly dangerous as there were vehicles heading towards me. This is not the first time this has happened. It happens nearly daily, while the engine is warm, while the engine is cold, in Eco, Normal and Sport modes. The only time I had zero issues was when the computer was reset after having service done to the truck. It ran incredibly well and shifted and ran as expected.

This was just the latest with this transmission. It happens 2 to 3 times per week. This time it was an intersection with a slight down hill. I stopped, then let off the brake as a car past in front of me. Since it was down hill, the truck started to roll forward. I then pressed on the gas pedal to pull out into traffic. The truck failed to responds for 1-2 seconds. There was plenty of space for a normal vehicle to make it, but with this delay, I barely made it. If you are not at a complete stop for at least 1 second, then accelerate, this thing fails to respond. It has been in many times for this, had the software updated, downgraded, generated reports for Toyota's engineering group. Still no fix. You never know how it is going to respond, but basically if you need it to accelerate, when you request it through the gas pedal, it will fail to do so.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact became aware that the rear bumper had detached. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously associated with a recall related to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the rear bumper had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed by the dealer that parts were not available and were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to another deale,r where the same information was provided, and the contact was informed that the rear bumper needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the rear bumper had failed again and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 49,150.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 - 45 MPH with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. The contact waited approximately one to two minutes, and then the vehicle operated as intended. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was operating as intended. The vehicle was repaired as per the recall on the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact about a possible buyback. The approximate failure mileage was 26,100.

The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The owner received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 22V501000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION), 22V661000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC), 23V142000 (STRUCTURE), 23V566000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), 24V125000 (POWER TRAIN), 24V381000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), 25V657000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION), and 25V322000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). However, the part to do the exterior lighting recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the electronic parking brake failed to function as intended. The contact stated that there are no local dealers on the island in Alaska where the owner resides. The nearest Toyota dealer was 750 miles away and was in Washington State. The manufacturer was contacted and refused to cover the cost to transport the vehicle to Washington State. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Hesitation/Lag Acceleration and Stop.

The outer edges of front tires wearing excessively. They replaced 2 around 20k milage and there are many reports of the same issue from factory alignment and camber. The tire appears to be splitting prematurely.

Throttle lag/ hesitation after complete stop

There is a lag when you accelerate. Many people notice a throttle lag and I’ve asked the dealer to fix it, but they said it is not a recall.

I have throttle lag or hesitation when pulling away from a stop sign or atop light. I have almost been hit several times from it. Something needs to be done.

When I came to a stop, everything seemed normal, but when I went to take off again the truck just… didn’t go. I pressed the gas and it kind of sat there, like it was thinking about moving but not actually doing it. The engine stayed running, no sputtering or dying, but it wouldn’t engage. It took a solid 10–20 seconds before it finally decided to move forward, and even then it felt hesitant. The whole thing was weird and definitely not how it should behave.

Have severe throttle lag and/or hesitation when giving gas from a stop. It causes a unsafe condition when you give it gas to go and it hesitates so bad I have almost gotten into accidents. This has been happening since new. Currently 30k miles on the truck.

Severe throttle lag and hard shifting when accelerating from a stop. This has caused several near misses when the vehicle will “stall” in the line of traffic causing lack of acceleration. Often happens when stopping at a four way stop or other stop sign followed by immediate acceleration. Was able to replicate it several times and happens on its own once a week. A widely known issue for the newest generation of Toyota Tundra. There are no safety lights, notifications or error codes. The vehicle did this both before a complete engine replacement and after.

Pickup has regular but not every time throttle delay. For 1-3ish seconds and then it CHARGES forward. Making pulling onto a busy road a bit of a gamble. Seems very very unsafe. I’ve had the new engine put in and still the same issue.

I have had multiple occasions where I have pushed on the gas pedal to accelerate from a stop and the truck does not go. This has almost caused accidents when attempting to pull out into traffic. This happens almost on a daily basis. The lag/pause can be very short (0.5 seconds) or very long (2-3 seconds) in my experience.

This has been an ongoing issue since the vehicle was new. When accelerating from a stop, when I push the gas pedal, there is a hesitation. There is no throttle response that can last up to 2 or 3 seconds which is dangerous. There have been times that I have tried to pull into traffic from a parking lot and the truck will not accelerate then jerks when it finally responds. This happens daily.

The accelerator pedal is unresponsive at times when attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, or a rolling stop, while traveling below 5 mph. This presents itself as a "dead pedal" type situation where no matter the accelerator angle given by the driver, zero power output at the engine is given. This can be logged via electronic data logger, and clearly the throttle angle does not change when this scenario presents itself. This can present a serious safety concern as the truck becomes a sitting duck, creeping out into a intersection with no more than idle power.

The motor blew up. This is the second motor. Toyota hasn't approved a new motor even though their recall says i need one.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while her partner was driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The driver was able to pull over; however, several attempts were needed to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure occurred while driving at various speeds, and that recently, when the vehicle was restarted after stalling, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. There was no warning light illuminated during the failures. The local dealer was contacted but the contact was informed that the dealer could not diagnose the vehicle until July 2026. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V381000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

Engine hesitation from a stop. Engine takes 1-2 seconds to respond to throttle pedal input. Creates timing safety hazard when attempting to cross oncoming lane to enter roadway. Puts vehicle at risk of not clearing the oncoming lane in time to avoid collision. Intermittent and haven’t been able to reproduce with dealer.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that there was moisture accumulated in the taillight housings. While shifted into reverse, the camera image was not properly displayed. There were six unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V322000 (Exterior Lighting). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was waiting for authorization from the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and informed the contact that the part for the recall repair was not yet released. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

The motors oil pressure is low. If something goes while I'm driving it can be dangerous to others and myself. It has not been confirmed with mine, but it has been a known issue with this year of the tundra's and has a recall for some of them but not all. Hasn't been inspected by others and no lights have came on yet but running really low pressure.

In certain situations when stopping briefly and then accelerating the pedal is dead. For a short amount of time the accelerator does not work and then it launches the truck forward aggressively. There has been a few instances when I am turning left and the truck does not move and I am stuck in the middle of oncoming traffic before the truck suddenly lurches forward.

When pressing the gas pedal, there multiple times where my vehicle has lag time in acceleration, which can lead to a delay of getting on the road and potentially causing an accident. There have been no manufacturer warnings and no warning lamps illuminate when this occurs.

Truck fails to accelerate from a stop. This is an intermittent issue. Dealer failed to duplicate.

The hybrid version of the Toyota Tundra uses the same base V35A-derived engine architecture, block casting, bearing design, and oiling system as the recalled non-hybrid vehicles. Toyota has not demonstrated that hybrid engines were manufactured differently or are immune to the defect that prompted the recall. In towing conditions, an internal combustion engine failure creates an immediate safety hazard even if limited electric propulsion remains available. Electric-only operation provides severely reduced power, limited speed, and restricted torque, making highway merging, grade climbing, or maintaining safe traffic flow unsafe while towing. Retaining minimal electric motion does not equate to maintaining safe propulsion under load. Additionally, a catastrophic engine failure may introduce metal debris, oil pressure loss, or thermal imbalance that can compromise shared drivetrain and hybrid coupling components. The presence of an electric motor does not mitigate the underlying defect risk or the secondary damage potential. Toyota’s distinction between hybrid and non-hybrid vehicles appears to be regulatory and financial rather than engineering-based. The same defect risk exists regardless of the hybrid system. I request that NHTSA evaluate whether Toyota’s exclusion of hybrid vehicles is based on actual engineering differences or solely on regulatory interpretation.

I am submitting this complaint regarding Toyota’s decision to exclude hybrid vehicles from an active safety recall affecting non-hybrid Toyota Tundra models equipped with the same twin-turbo V6 engine architecture. Toyota has stated that hybrid vehicles are excluded because they retain motive power through the electric drive system in the event of an internal combustion engine failure. This rationale does not address real-world safety risk and does not reflect the mechanical realities of towing or highway operation.

There is a well-known issue with these new model Toyota tundras where there are problems with acceleration. When at a stop and pulling out from the stop, the engine and acceleration hesitate, and there is a flag of between 2 to 5 seconds before the vehicle starts moving. The gas pedal is depressed and there is a hesitation or lag of several seconds before forward movement progresses. There was a Toyota safety bulletin update that was supposed to fix the problem and it did not. Many users are still reporting the same problem and it’s just as bad as it was before. This creates a massive safety issue when pulling into traffic or trying to increase speed to keep up with the flow of traffic when initially pulling out. My truck specifically is experiencing this anywhere from one to three times a week.

I'm having an issue my 2022 Toyota Tundra having incredible throttle lag issues involves a delay and sudden surge when accelerating from a stop, creating a safety concern, often described as a "dead pedal". It has caused me to get into numerous situations where i could've gotten hit by other vehicles. It is so dangerous! The dealership is unable to fix it and says to disconnect the battery regularly to try and "help" the issue.

2-3 second throttle lag after pressing pedal from rolling stops and sudden lurches from engine when it decides to go. From dead stops - 2-3 second throttle lag as well and acceleration lurches that are so strong that sometimes it will chirp the tires when it decides to finally go.

There is a throttle lag when I depress the acceleration pedal, the vehicle doesnt not move for a period of time ranging from 0.5 seconds to 3 seconds. This is more prominent when performing a creeping start where the vehicle has not fully stopped.

When the radio is turned completely off to reset the Bluetooth the entire dashboard lights turn on and a malfunction warning is displayed that XYZ system is not working to call dealer to schedule appointment. There is an issue with the windows not rolling up either.

Truck lunges forward while driving ar highway speeds as if you have been lightly bumped in the bumper by someone. You need to give at least a 6 car car distance between your truck and car in front to prevent a crash. Truck has also been shutting off while exiting the highway. Will get "Put into "P" Start engine" as well as, "Stearing Pressure Low" alert on dash in instrument cluster information cluster. Also at low speeds in bumper to bumper traffic is shifting hard from 2nd to 1st gear. Truck was drop off to dealer on 12/18/25 after asking them to take it due to feeling unsafe driving it for 3 days.

Throttle lag or hesitation after a stop, and is more frequent after stopping on an incline.

When at a stop, pushing the gas pedal to go, the truck hesitates. Almost like the truck dies then all of the sudden takes off. I have had multiple instances were i was almostnT-boned. Dealer said that is normal for a vehicle with turbos. We don't experience this with my wife's Kia. No warning lights appear. Just to be clear the truck hesitates at almost every stop when trying to accelerate.

I get throttle lag/hesitation most often when starting to go from a complete stop. This has happened many times.

Truck regularly experiences throttle lag leading to dangerous/hesitating entry into traffic/intersections. Either each occurrence, after 1 to 4 seconds the vehicle will lurch forward hard after the pause. It has also happened when accelerating to pass on the highway. This also happened with the original and replaced engine.

Taking off at a stop and merging in traffic or any complete stop there's a lag or dead spot in the gas pedal,a severe at times hesitation before it finally proceeds to move,a dead spot between hitting the gas and actually taking off.scary at times.,this truck had this lag before engine replace and only now has 5,000 miles on new engine and still does it.This happens every time you drive it.not a particular incident or when it's the truck is cold or warmed up.

Vehicle occasionally experiences throttle hesitation. This generally happens from a stop when starting to initiate the throttle. This issue has nearly caused an accident.

Hesitation when pressing the accelerator from a complete stop. When I press the accelerator from a complete stop there is no movement for several milliseconds leading to some close calls when entering traffic.

Throttle lag/hesitation

Acceleration lag when starting out

Car stalls from stop during acceleration. There are times when there is no response from throttle.
