Even after the recall / tcm reprogram, this truck will especially when cold and rolling away from a stop after deceleration stall / stutter for a few seconds before it starts accelerating again.
Excessive hesitation in acceleration from stop or slow start. No warnings displayed car has less than 18000 miles. The excessive hesitation poses a real danger when pulling into traffic or trying to avoid an accident. The truck can randomly take several seconds to respond to accelerator input. This issue halls been reported my many 2022 and later Tundra owner.
Vehicle hesitates when accelerating from a stop. Feels like the engine may stall and the vehicle will not respond to throttle inputs. Very unsafe as I may not be able to accelerate to avoid an accident.
At certain times when starting (pressing the accelerator pedal) from a total stop, or from when rolling very slowly, the tuck creeps forward but there is up to a two second delay in start of increase of engine revs and power being delivered. This is quite scary when pulling out into traffic. When the power comes on it tends to surge with rapid acceleration for a very short time. To be clear, no accident has occurred and there are no warning lights on the dash. However, I feel that this vehicle behavior creates a significant hazard worth highlighting. Once the vehicle starts moving, it goes back to normal operation within seconds. It-??s not a consistent issue - it does not happen very frequently - but I-??ve had it since the truck was new and it has 27k miles on it now. I have made several complaints to the maker and my dealer at every service, but they fail to replicate / recognize this issue after a number of tests drives. I went on a test drive with one dealer tech and when we replicated this issue I was told that -??all trucks are like this-??. There is a technical service bulletin fix for this, but the maker has refused to do it on my truck and others have reported that it did not resolve the issue on their trucks. From online forums, this seems to be a common issue on non-hybrid models. The truck transmission also tends to thud into drive when cold and the chances of the hesitation / surge issue occurring is higher just after a cold start (-??cold start-?? being a relative term in South Texas). It most often occurs at the nearest stop sign just after I leave home, but does occur randomly at other times.
When in start and stop traffic when the vehicle is at low speeds below 5 mile an hour. The transmission does not properly downshift. This causes a severe lag in acceleration when needed in traffic or in Intersections. This delay is a safety issue due to causing a lack of vehicle movement when needed. The vehicle will basically not accelerate for a couple seconds until it decides to downshift. This happens continuously at speeds below 5 mile an hour. If you don-??t stop completely and pause for a second or two, the transmission will not downshift properly. In traffic, you cannot do this.

I-??ve submitted this before the huge recall that Toyota just announced but my truck lands a few months after the dates of this recall. I have the same symptoms and have video evidence of my truck shutting off on the highway.
The transmission kicks hard at any speeds, i used the 4wd and the truck turned off and once i started it again it was a transmission burned fluid smell i only have 16k miles, this happened before when the truck had 1400 miles and the dealership said they cleared the codes and that it was ok-??
The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that there was a clicking sound coming from the engine compartment while in neutral. The contact stated that while idling and then attempting to accelerate, the vehicle hesitated. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was made aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V381000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
On numerous occasions when I am at a stop sign leaving work and trying to accelerate onto the 4 line highway my vehicle acceleration has a delay in it causing me to not properly accelerate into traffic almost causing me to get hit on numerous occasions. I have complained about this situation to the dealer and was told once that it was normal for the delay and once that it is just a V6 engine so that is why the delay. I am sure that I am not the only person having this issue is a problem and will be the result of many accidents if not addressed.
Pulling into traffic from a stop or near stop (such as a stop sign or yield sign), the vehicle does not respond to the gas pedal. After significant lag / hesitation, the vehicle lurches forward. This has happened multiple times starting around September 2023, and the problem is worse when the engine is cold (cold mornings) although it happens at all times to some extent. It seems to have gotten worst and happens almost daily at this point. There have been several times that the lag / hesitation has left me sitting in the middle of an intersection and almost caused me to be hit by other vehicles. I have had the vehicle in to the dealer 5 times for this issue and have been told it-??s -??normal-?? or they cannot replicate it. On the 5th time, Toyota corporate sent a representative Anthony Merejo, who verified in email that he experienced the hesitation and was sending the data back to Toyota engineering to see if there was a fix. That was about 6 weeks ago and I haven-??t heard back.
The engine has rough idle, the dealership says they see a misfire and they say is normal for the vehicle to do this, is a brand new vehicle I bought with 9 miles im at 14 thousands now, and the truck has died using the 4wd and completely turned off, i took it to the dealership and they said the same like the engine, they cleared codes and thats all, i dont trust this vehicle i left it stranded on the sand once and the recalls they dont have solutions for any of them, toyota is neglecting customers now.
While traveling at highway speed, with no warning my truck lost acceleration power. There were other vehicles in the road, and I had to travel across multiple lanes to get to an exit while the vehicle was continuously slowing down. This put myself and my children at risk due to the sudden loss of power. I was able to exit and turn the engine off, after which, the problem seemed to stop. I took my truck to the dealership where it was purchased to have them check the truck, and they were unable to reproduce the problem. Their inspection only showed them that there were engine misfires. They told me the issue would need to be reproduced or would need to happen to me again before anything could be done about it or before they could get Toyota involved. I did explain that I had the "Reduced Engine Power" and "Brake System Malfunction" warning light that, through my research, have been experienced with other Tundra owners when they had "engine failures."
The contact owns a 2023 Toyota Tundra. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V566000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) and 24V125000 (Power Train) however, the parts to do the recall repair were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
I was traveling south on [XXX] in Sarasota, FL, around 70-75 miles per hour and the engine shut down with warning. I coasted to a stop and was able to pull in the left emergency lane out of traffic. This could have been a tragic situation because cars were traveling 70 plus mph in that area. I tried to restart the car but all I got was a clicking sound from the starter, I also smelled a faint burning smell form the engine compartment. I had to have the vehicle towed into a local Toyota dealership and was advised several days later that the engine would have to be replaced as metal shavings were found inside of it.

This truck was sold even while it was under recall over 1 year ago. That recall, for fuel tank issues STILL cannot be repaired as there are STILL not enough parts being distributed to dealers to fix it. Since that time, 2 additional recalls have been issued and dealers have no indication when they will be able to fix it. This vehicle should be treated as a lemon and taken off the road at Toyota's expense.
Vibration at lower speeds felt in steering, pedals, driver seat and front passenger seat. Posses danger to operator and other traffic as this vibration could be mistaken for departure warning. Notified Toyota cooperation but they seem eager to close the case.
A few complaints: #1: First is the infotainment system continuously requests a pin be entered. I would enter the pin, but the pin screen pops up again and again whenever the system is on. Had the dealership look at it, they stated the info system has the latest software and I was instructed to contact Toyota. After a 2+hour phone call, resetting app passwords a few times, resetting pin a few times, starting the truck a certain way, and other things I cannot completely remember, finally got it to accept the pin and stop pin request screen from popping up. That worked for about 1 week, and since then the screen pops up. I no longer try to enter the pin just hit the x button (kind of hard and dangerous entering 6 digit pin 30 times while going 75 on the highway). I would estimate screen popping up about every 1-2 minute. #2: Truck has 6,400 miles on it, brakes started squealing around 4k miles or less, getting progressively worse. I have tried washing brake dust away at car wash, no help. Sounds like when a car is getting to the last of the brakes. Are they that worn in 6k miles, I hope not, but how am I supposed to know when or if they need to be replaced? Very annoying, and dangerous since I can't rely on the brakes squealing to let me know need replaced. #3: 1 week ago after stopping at a red light, about 5 seconds passed when the truck jerked violently and slightly moved forward, all while I had the brake pedal pressed. It was so hard I was certain I had just got rear ended, but as I looked in the mirror preparing to get out of the truck, I saw the car behind me was barely approaching 20+ feet back. This is only time it has happened so far, but very concerning, will let the dealership know as well, but I can already hear their response "we weren't able to replicate the issue". Fuel line recall, still haven't fixed it (but will be setting appointment to take it in for all the described things, again, and hopefully get my 2nd key, been 9 months already).
Greetings all, This is not my vehicle. It is the vehicle that came to a sudden stop on the [XXX] and I hit. The driver apologized and told me his wife was fiddling with the drive shift lever and accidentally pressed the Park button. Indeed, the 2023 Toyota Tundra driver had been stepping on the brakes (lights on the outside of the flip gate) and switching to reverse (small white lights towards the middle of the bumper) the times I found myself behind it (I had managed to move to the right lane to avoid it a few miles earlier). How does an automatic transmission switch from Drive to Reverse and Park while the vehicle is moving (yes, by then we were going slowly because the driver kept stepping on the brake)" This model does not have mechanical interlocks in the shift lever. It counts on electronic controls. Could it be a burned element in a circuit board? Could it be a defective control card? or a design/programming flaw? Could it have the same parking brake problem that resulted in the recent recall of 870 thousand 2021-2023 Ford F-150s? Could it be something else" Please consider requiring mechanical interlocks for shift levers. Electronics are too sensitive to temperature and humidity and controller failures may become more frequent. Thank you.

Truck has a frequent delay/ hesitation accelerating from a stop. Also has a situation where when accelerating from low speed (3-5 mph) the transmission feels as though it-??s in a very high gear and is therefore sluggish. Both issues cause potential safety hazards in traffic. Truck also has harsh or jerky shifts in lower gears, (my best guess is gears 1-6 although it-??s hard to tell because there is no gear display) which causes drive-ability problems. Local dealer told me my truck has the most up to date transmission programming therefore there is nothing they can do. Issues have been present since new.
