My 2022 Toyota Tundra 1794 transmission has always shifted hard on the initial start up and while accelerating when changing lanes. Since the truck was new I thought it was due to being new and required a break in period. Now I have own the truck for 15 months the problem still exist. I took the truck to the Toyota Dealership in Moss Point Mississippi in November 2023 and they informed me there were an update computer software program needed to be installed on my Tundra and the problem would be resolved. The problem still exist, the jerking of the transmission has me afraid to drive it.
The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the throttle was lagging, causing the vehicle to hesitate while accelerating. There was approximately 2-seconds after depressing the accelerator pedal before the vehicle would lunge forward. There were no warning lights illuminated. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact was informed that it was a known failure however, there was no known fix. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.
Vehicle sometimes fails to accelerate when the accelerator is depressed. When this occurs, the vehicle moves forward slightly but then stalls while the engine is still running with no warning lamps or messages displaying. On several occasions this has caused me to enter into traffic (usually from an intersection or parking lot) and then discover the vehicle has stalled and won't accelerate. Removing my foot from the accelerator and then reapplying accelerator pressure usually corrects the issue but creates a dangerous situation and increases the chance for collision. The issue was first noticed on my vehicle about 2 months into ownership and has been reported several times to Vandergriff Toyota, Arlington, Texas. No resolution has been offered as the dealership can't identify or replicate the problem. T-SB-0111-22 was issued in December of 2022 and supposedly addressed this issue, but the problem continued after this work was performed on my truck. This issue is also well documented on the 2022 -2023 Tundra Forums with many owners still experiencing this problem. My vehicle is available for inspection.
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.
Since owning the vehicle, I still have long lag time when accelerating from a stop. Also, I-??m experiencing bad vibrations in the rear of the vehicle which start 5/1/2023. ~10,000miles.

At a stop while the vehicle is running and in drive, there is a delay of a second or two once the throttle is pushed to accelerate. This causes me to push the accelerator more thinking I-€™m not pressing hard enough, resulting in the truck accelerating faster than I-€™d like. When pulling out into traffic, the hesitation of the vehicle causes me to not merge at the moment I attempt to.
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.
Lots of lag when starting from a stop, a good 3-4 seconds after pressing the gas pedal, the truck will lunge forward. This is concerning when pulling out into traffic. Took to the dealer and they said "yes, we know about it, there is no fix for the delay". This is very unsafe
Throttle lag - When attempting to accelerate from near or complete stop vehicle will accelerate for a split second and then act as if it is stalling causing a dangerous situation. It has put me in a position where pulling out into traffic i'm left for 2-3 seconds with no throttle response.
Upon acceleration after a complete stop, accelerating after almost stopping, or slowly traveling up an incline, the engine will drop to idle speed at random. Regarless of throttle input, the engine will remain at idle for several seconds (2-4) and then resume normal operation after this brief period. This is a safery issue as it can cause the vehicle to coast or become stationary in traffic or on an incline. This specific vehicle has not been to a service center, but this appears to be an issue across several online forums without a resolution from Toyota. No warning lights appeared on the vehicle
When stopped at an intersection, whether for a stop sign, stop light, or waiting to turn, there are intermittent times when there is a very distinct lag or delay between when the gas pedal is pressed and the vehicle actually starting to move. As I said, this is intermittent and not an 'all the time' occurrence. However, when pulling out and crossing traffic, not knowing whether the vehicle is going to go or not is very disconcerting. At best, I feel like I am left exposed and wondering if I am going to get hit. At worst, that delay causes others to also have to react, potentially making the situation worse for more than just me. The date below is just an estimate to when I first started noticing the issue.
This has happened 3 times now. From stoped at a red light or pulling out of a parking lot. I start to accelerate like normal for about 5 feet and then a total loss of power. This leaves me coasting into traffic and about 2 seconds later it takes off like normal.
New vehicle had 1,340 miles on it when driving on a city street at approximately 30 MPH when I felt a thump. Got out and looked under the truck but no visible trouble. Traveled about 4 more blocks and the rear differential totally locked up. Had to have it towed to the dealer for repair. No warning lamps came on until it totally locked and could not move. If I had been on the freeway at a faster speed I could have easily caused an accident. The toyota mechanics had no idea how it happened, replaced the entire differential. They said it was related to an earlier recall for differential problems. Date of manufacture is 8/22/2022.
Vehicle has a significant delay when gas is pressed when at a complete stop. The vehicle then overcompensates and launches you into drive aggressively. I know I am not the only one reporting this and I have seen similar complaints from other 22 Tundra owners. This could cause a massive crash if people are not prepared for the massive acceleration after waiting a few second for whatever engine component is stalling.
The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V445000 (Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer for the recall repair and the contact was informed that parts were not yet available for the recall repair. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Intermittent issue: When pressing the gas pedal, there is often a delay of 1 to 2 seconds, followed by an acceleration surge. This has created potentially hazardous conditions during otherwise routine traffic situations. The delay has resulted unpredictability and the surge has caused loss of control when on gravel surfaces.
I could only select a certain amount of descriptions. 2021 tacoma had issues of a vibration in the left front or right front wheel/suspension and I have the same feeling in the 2022 tundra, (2) airflow shutters code with engine light came on, (apparently they fixed it or reset the system) (3) brakes starting to squeak at 9k/10k miles (4) transmission slipping at 9k/10k miles (5) inop reverse camera and screen goes blank or white out for good period of time (6) heat from outside temperature throws codes for collision/brake codes light come on possibly turning them off (7) automatic emergency braking sensors or radar tech brakes hard at stoplights when a car is in front of me when green light is on to go, is too sensitive and it slams on the brakes jerking my neck/head forward and other passengers in vehicle not including the people behind me, slamming on their brakes
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.
