2025 TOYOTA TUNDRA Fuel/propulsion System Problems

Unacceptable fuel economy. EPA stats 18/23, I have no been able to manage over 14.6 MPG. Truck has 16,xxx miles on it. I am seeing online this is very common. Something needs to be done about to blatant over fabricated numbers.

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.

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 respond WHATSOEVER. I desperately tried to roll my vehicle into the ditch to make space the incoming vehicles to minimize danger, but had no power to do so and was violently T-boned. The vehicle was brought to the dealer for their analysis, the service manager initially claimed "I know exactly what it is" and continued to ask questions that prompted previous knowledge of this issue including what speeds and conditions it will occur at.. two weeks later the vehicle is "ready" and the manager claims the "eprom" had 2 pages of codes in it and that "got rid of the hesitation" I take him for a test drive with me and was able to recreate the issue a few times at which point he said "i understand your frustration with the truck but its a GOOD TRUCK" I drove the truck a few days and continued to experience dangerous and unpredictable delays in throttle response, one of which almost caused me to be rear-ended by a semi while merging from IL-rt83 onto I-55 nb The vehicle has been left behind on a family road trip as it is not safe enough for my family. In hind sight I wish I had the opportunity to submit it to NHTSA for examination after the crash rather than than Toyota. PLEASE DO SOMeTHING

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.

Throttle delay/ hesitation that is very unpredictable.

The throttle lag is a major safety concern. When pulling way from a stop there is a huge delay in throttle response. This is consistent and has caused me to have several close incidents and nearly an accident. This is a programming issue that Toyota needs to address.

The vehicle will stall or lag during acceleration from stop or during regular driving while trying to accelerate. Happens continuously throughout ownership of the vehicle.

Vehicle randomly stalls or experiences throttle lag/acceleration hesitation particularly when trying to accelerate quickly through intersections and while turning. Almost seems as if the vehicle loses power all together and then quickly comes back.

From a dead stop truck is hesitant to accelerate. Pedal can be pushed all the way down and there is a delay about 1-2 sec. This is very dangerous it and has almost caused an accident a few times already. It only happens after a complete stop and go

There is clear hesitation and lurching when accelerating.

Throttle lag / hesitation when pushing the gas pedal. This is a very serious issue. There are many many complaints about this issue but the toyota and the dealer is not doing anything about it. This hesitation has almost caused me several accidents because the gas pedal does not respond. Causing on coming traffic to swerve or brake to avoid me. Let's hope this issue get attention before it's too late. Just Google "tundra throttle lag" and see how many tundra owners have this serious issue.

2025 Toyota Tundra with 2200 miles. Truck has developed an intermittent lag/hesitation when starting from a stop. At random times, when pulling out into fast moving traffic, hit the pedal to proceed and enter the roadway and it will take a second or two before there is any response from the engine. Oncoming traffic traveling at 50mph are now a second or two closer and need to brake hard to avoid collision. There seems to be a fault between the throttle pedal and the engine. No warning lamps. Difficult to reproduce as it only happens on occasion. Vehicle has not been inspected by a dealership. The issue has been reported to Toyota via online support, message # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Throttle lag. When I step on the gas pedal, there is a hesitation or lag which the truck doesn't move forward when asked. Very, very dangerous when entering traffic. Almost caused an accident. Not good. This must be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed. This is no joke and should be taken seriously. I hope this doesn't get ignored as this is a serious problem.

I was driving about 50 MPH and suddenly my check engine light came on and the truck died and would not start. I was told that the engine failed and will need to be replaced.
