I experience delayed throttle response and throttle lag daily. Acceleration is unpredictable. The vehicle barely moves in some cases when pressing the gas pedal. Other times, the tires will chirp. The vehicle will sometimes hesitate so long to accelerate, that I've almost been T-boned and I've held up traffic. It seems like the truck thinks I'm going to run into something, even when there's nothing in front of me. The delay is sometimes 3-5 seconds before it will allow any acceleration. This seems like a huge safety issue, not being able to get out of the way of oncoming traffic and having such an unpredictable, and often delayed throttle response.

Throttle Lag/Hesitation when starting from a standstill. Same also occurs when slowly going up a hill, letting off throttle and then back on throttle - engine no response and causes vehicle to roll backwards before engine/transmission catch on again. No service center has looked at this issue yet.

Over the course of ownership I have had frequent instances of loss of power and/or lack of acceleration resulting in almost stalling out while trying to take off. This causes dangerous situations when trying to pull out into traffic because you never know when the vehicle might hesitate and crest unsafe distances between you and other moving vehicles.

The truck will hesitate for a brief second while trying to accelerate from both stop and in drive where it'll jolt you forward. This will also happen when shifting into driving and it jolts you forward. This is a huge safety risk because my truck can stall when i need the truck to go. I have brought it up to the dealership which told me multiple times as "normal". No lights has popped up but I know my other cars doesn't stall when giving gas.

My 2023 Toyota Tundra has an intermittent issue where the throttle lags or hesitates when accelerating from a complete stop. The problem occurs unpredictably and causes the truck to fail to respond when pressing the gas pedal. The issue appears to be related to the engine or throttle response system, and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This malfunction puts my safety and the safety of others at risk because the hesitation can occur while turning left across traffic or merging into traffic, leaving the truck momentarily stalled in the path of oncoming vehicles. The problem has not yet been officially reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or service center, but it has happened multiple times under normal driving conditions. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives at this time. There were no warning lights, messages, or other indicators before or during the hesitation; it happens without any prior notice.

I was driving my 2023 Toyota Tundra when the engine shutdown while going 55mph, the speed limit. Truck shutdown as I approached a long, curvy hill, felt like I was in great danger and any vehicles around me. There was no warning, had no idea what was going on. Took vehicle to dealership, after 24 hours I went back to dealership to check on it. Was told they didn-??t look at it because they knew the engine was bad, needed replaced. There is a recall for this and was told there is no remedy yet. Also, they say they don-??t have a vehicle for me to drive. I paid $65000 cash to have a vehicle to drive and keep me and my grandkids safe, now nothing!

October 6th 2025, I was leaving my place of work and started to here a slight banging/knocking sound, the vehicle lost instant power and I the engine quit running, I have taken the vehicle to the Toyota dealer and they have confirmed a internal bearing failure in the engine. The vehicle is not part of the engine recall but appears to be the same issue. The Toyota dealership has agreed that it is still with in the warranty period after review of there regional representative and agreed to replace the engine short block and rebuild the remaining engine components. I towed it to the dealer October 6th and have been given a rough timeline for repairs to be performed roughly around December based on the availability of parts.

- Brighton, CO, USA

Just asking for an investigation. Same engines in vehicle year 2023 gas only models have been recalled for safety because the engine locks up while driving causing a this safety issue. My model year is 2023 and is a hybrid but has not been added to the recall. The hybrid should be included in the recall as well since it is the exact same engine. This is a dangerous situation for me and my family as well as others I am on the road with.

My 2023 Toyota Tundra experienced a complete engine failure at approximately 25,000 miles. The vehicle suddenly shut off while driving and had to be towed to the dealer, where technicians determined that the engine had seized due to a spun bearing and a broken connecting rod. Toyota replaced the short block under warranty. While I appreciate that Toyota covered the repair, I believe this failure is directly related to the same manufacturing defect that led to Toyota-??s ongoing Tundra engine recall. However, my VIN was not included in that recall campaign. Based on the nature of the failure, timing, and identical symptoms reported by many other Tundra owners, it appears Toyota-??s recall does not fully capture all affected engines. In my case, the dealership documented that the piston connecting rod broke apart and that the main bearing spun-?"issues consistent with the debris and machining defects referenced in Toyota-??s recall. Rather than performing a complete engine replacement (as done for covered VINs), Toyota only replaced the short block assembly, leaving other components potentially contaminated or compromised. This situation raises a broader safety concern: engine seizure at highway speeds poses a sudden loss-of-power risk that could lead to accidents. I urge NHTSA to investigate whether Toyota-??s current recall scope is too narrow and to determine if additional Tundra engines-?"including mine-?"should be included.

Throttle body stopped working car went in to limp Mode on high way randomly multiple times till it finally just gave out randomly again on highway. Could no longer drive had to drive at 5mph to nearest dealer

When from a stop vehicle does not accelerate as normal, especially while turning. Lag and hesitation is experienced for a moment and then catches causing a rapid acceleration. When turning across oncoming lanes of traffic the unexpected lag and lack of acceleration considerably increases risk of side collision from cross traffic and risk of rear collision from traffic behind due to inability to know consistent time, speed, and acceleration needed to safely cross lanes of traffic and expected acceleration speed anticipated by vehicles from rear. Concern has been brought up to dealer and properly notified. Dealer was unable to replicate. No dash warnings appeared.

The engine of my 2023 Toyota Tundra failed at approximately 34,500 miles. The failure involved sudden loss of oil pressure and severe internal damage, with metal shavings found in the oil and oil filter. The oil filter itself detached during the incident and was later recovered with metallic debris inside. The vehicle and the recovered filter are available for inspection upon request. While accelerating from a stop light on a busy morning public road, the engine suddenly lost power, illuminated multiple warning lamps, and entered limp mode with -??low oil pressure-?? and -??engine malfunction-?? messages. The truck rapidly leaked oil, creating a roadway hazard and putting me, my wife & son, and other drivers at risk of accident. I was able to limp the vehicle home.5 miles from the incident at reduced speed, but complete engine seizure was a possibility. Toyota of Fort Walton Beach inspected the vehicle, confirmed metal shavings in the oil pan, documented codes P05202 and P052049 (low oil pressure and oil pressure sensor stuck in range), and noted -??oil was very metallic.-?? The vehicle was inspected by Toyota dealership technicians and corporate representatives. I also have possession of the oil filter and photos/videos from the inspection. At the moment of failure, the dash displayed low oil pressure, check engine light, and a message regarding engine/electronic malfunction. Prior to this event, there were no warning signs -?" the truck had been serviced two weeks earlier at 33,360 miles, and I drove approximately 1,200 miles without incident until the catastrophic failure. This failure matches the description in Toyota Recall 24V-381. My vehicle-??s build date (February 27, 2023) is less than two weeks outside the published recall production window, yet the symptoms and inspection results are identical. I respectfully request NHTSA investigate whether additional 2023 Toyota Tundra vehicles outside the current recall window are affected, as my case demonstrates the same hazards.

At 65,000 mile engine died. Just the same as the recall for this truck but mine wasn't in the recall. Since it was over 60,000 miles its not covered by Toyota. WE have a third party warranty we bought at the dealer that is saying we have to pay $7,000 out of pocket

The engine misfired and failed twice in one year, and the vehicle is currently available for inspection. Both times the engine failed, I was on the freeway, which nearly caused cars and semi-trucks to rear-end me. I had a convoy of vehicles behind me and had to move to the right lane very cautiously. I reported the problem to the AutoNation Toyota dealership on Gulf Freeway. Yes, the dealership mechanics have inspected it, and it has been at the dealership since August 5, 2025. There were warning lights on the dashboard when the engine failed.

Engine blew up, not on recall list

I want Toyota to expand their engine recalls to 2023+ models. The issue with their engine remains with 2023+ models and it is a huge safety risk to allow a 6000lb truck to run on highways with the risk of the engine turning off and potentially crashing.

I was driving down the [XXX] at 70 mph when suddenly the engine just went dead. There was no PRIOR warning as the orange engine symbol came on the dash at exactly the same time as the engine died. There were other warning symbols that came on the dash also at the same time. I then had to maneuver in heavy traffic without power steering or power brake at 70 mph to the side of the road which was very difficult and I felt very unsafe. It was frightening to say the least. I called the closest Toyota Dealership located in Bristol, Tn and they sent a tow truck to pick it up and take to their shop. I am now waiting for them to determine the extent of the damage. To be clear we have documentation of every required maintenance done. This truck is about 1 1/2 yrs old with only 68,000 miles on it!
