When coming to a stop, then pressing on the gas, the truck does not move. Its a dead gas pedal for approximately 2-4 seconds and then the truck takes off. Say i am trying to turn right at a light, then go to press on the gas, there is hesitation from the truck. I have brought this issue several times since i got the truck, a TSB from toyota was performed but the problem consistently persists. It does not happen everytime when coming from a stop but it is noticeable. Its a safety concern due to possibly being hit on the side when trying to merge into traffic.

On Aug 1st I started noticing a slight shake in the vehicle on the way to work in the morning. I can best describe this shake or shutter like an imbalanced tire or a misfire. On the way home I noticed that the shutter was only present around 1,100-1,300RPMs while under gentle acceleration. About 6 miles from home I noticed the engine would bog down from time to time and shortly after I could hear a slight metallic sound. It was not until I got into town where I was set a slower road speed that I could clearly hear that the metallic sound was a rod knock. I have the hybrid model of the new Tundras, and on that last bit of stretch getting home in town the truck never threw an error or even understood that it was having an engine failure. Towards the end it would kick the engine on and off trying to flip flop between hybrid/EV mode and ICE mode. And some of those instances I think the engine was stalling out. Mine engine never seized up fully, but if it had I question whether or not the ECU would have understood this to disengage the engine from the drivetrain to propel itself only on the MG. As of today (12/5/25) my truck is still down at the shop because of this engine failure. Toyota originally covered a short block replacement under warranty. After the dealership assembled that new engine they are having nothing but one problem after another. After about a month to a month and a half of fighting the new engine Toyota's FTS got involved, were they ordered the new engine to be disassembled for investigation. They found that the new engine had completely destroyed itself, and they claim the cause was from the technician not applying assembly lube on the camshafts. After that Toyota blamed the technician at the dealership and refused to help fix my truck (which is well within the drivetrain warranty). I now have an open arbortation case with the NCDS for this.

Total engine failure occurred, leaving me stranded 1500 miles away from home while on a road trip with family. The engine completely shut off on me at highway on ramp speeds, causing me to perform evasive maneuvers to pull over. Vehicle started smoking from engine compartment once parked, causing me and my [XXX] daughter to emergency exit the vehicle on the side of a busy highway. Truck was towed to closest dealer where they held the vehicle for 57 days. It was stated that this recall was the cause of the issue. They did not have a solution to the recall and simply replaced internal damaged engine parts. There were no warning lights or caution lights prior to this event occurring. I have reached out to Toyota Branding Division but have not received any reply. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My engine was replaced under the recall at 75,000 miles. One day and less than 100 miles later, the engine lost motive power on the upgrade side of an overpass on the highway at 75 MPH. The vehicle slowed so quickly that if other vehicles would have been near, it undoubtedly would have caused an accident. I had it towed to the shop and they are investigating the problem. I also called Toyota Corporate HQ and notified them about the problem.

I received a recall notice for my 22 tundra for the engine replacement. I scheduled the service and the dealers wanted to charge me doing the engine swap. They stated that due to me having a lift kit (which I had years prior to this recall) that they couldn’t do the engine swap without removing the radiator and other front end pieces or removing the body from the frame which they stated would cost me thousands of dollars. I’m trying to understand why would I have to pay for a mishap on Toyota ‘s part with the engine recall remedy that came about 3 years after my truck and me getting a lift kit installed. Why should I have to pay thousands of dollars for something that I was unaware would need to be done years later after purchasing.
