This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
There is a drastic throttle hesitation. When at a complete stop or from a slow speed, upon accelerating, it-??s like the truck needs three seconds to realize I-??m trying to go forward. In certain situations, this can be very dangerous. Has happened consistently since I have had the truck for 2.5 years. I tell the dealer every single time and they can-??t ever duplicate it and if they could, they aren-??t going to fix it anyway.
When pulling out onto roadway after stopping there is a hesitation for a few seconds and the vehicle hesitates which is very dangerous and could cause an accident.
Vehicle hesitates when pressing the accelerator, especially when pulling off after a complete stop. This doesn't happen 100% of the time. From my experience, this happens 65-70% of the time with varying degrees of hesitancy. It's a safety issue as you never know when this is going to happen and to what degree; especially when crossing traffic lanes at an uncontrolled street crossing. I have spun out of my gravel driveway many times due to the hesitation.
Vehicle began with a knocking noise which occurred for approximately 3 days. Before being able to get an appointment at the dealer the vehicle shut off and would not move with our family in it in a lane of traffic. The vehicle has since been towed to Toyota and no clear guidance on the resolution of the engine seizing up has been shared.

Truck will hesitate to respond to throttle pedal input when attempting to accelerate from a stop. This has occurred numerous times over the 3 years I-??ve owned it and appears to happen randomly. This 1-2 second delay puts driver safety and other drivers at risk due to inability to quickly enter or cross lanes of traffic.
There is hesitation when depressing the accelerator. After stopping at stop sign then trying to move into traffic the vehicle will not move for several seconds. When the vehicle does move it takes off at an increased rate. This has happened several times from the first day the vehicle drove off the lot until present day.
Hesitation when I press the accelerator almost causing several accidents as I get stalled in the middle of an intersection. This has happened approximately five times in the last several months. A very scary situation. Very dangerous several times almost was T-boned
Have constant hesitation when accelerating, especially at higher speeds. Only thing that has fixed it is when dealer resets computer, after a week issues comes back. Happens also when at a stop and try to accelerate rapidity.
The engine hesitated going up a hill by my house. I-??ve gone up the hill many times in this truck and other cars and never had the problem. I turned it off and started it again but I do t know if I should keep driving. The dealer says I can-??t get the recall done yet.
Major throttle response issues. Long delay when pressing accelerator, and when under heavy acceleration, if you let off the gas because of an obstacle, the truck continues to apply propulsion. Both issues could create an unsafe situation or cause a collision
This is a safety engine recall identified by the manufacturer. I have taken the truck to the dealer for remediation. At this point they do not have a date for correction.
The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became firm, and the vehicle was difficult to steer while turning to the left or the right. In addition, the vehicle had experienced a stall. The contact stated that the fire alert message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the engine was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the message was occasionally illuminated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.
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.
Throttle response is delayed intermittently. When proceeding from a stop or slow speed the truck will randomly have delayed acceleration. Then suddenly begins to accelerate with greater power and breaks the rear wheels free.
Lack of throttle/ engine response while accelerating from a stop. Trying to pull put onto the highway and the truck just hesitates and doesn't want to go. Has almost gotten me got a few times from the lack of response time from the pedal to the Engine. TSB did not fix the problem
2022 Tundra, especially when the engine is cold, has issues accelerating well beyond what would be expected with "Turbo lag". On several occasions when entering a roundabout from a dead stop, the engine does not have any responsiveness at all (extends for several seconds), requiring the driver to release and re-engage the pedal. This creates a safety issue. The date reported on 12/30/24 is the most recent instance, but happens routinely.
The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving on the highway at 70 MPH, the automotive power was reduced and a "Power failure get to nearest dealer" warning message illuminated. The contact was able to pull over onto the side of the road, idled, and then attempted to restart. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired as of yet. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact mentioned that the failure had occurred on three separate occasions. The approximate failure mileage was 19,800.
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.
