2023 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

Toyota has recalled vehicles (24V-381) with the exact same motor that I have, but my truck has not been recalled simply because it is a hybrid. Their reasoning is that the hybrid motor will allow you to still move if the internal combustion engine does not work. Many hybrid owners have stated when their motor died they could not move. Toyota needs to include ALL the motors in this recall, including the hybrid engines. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed.

Add a stoplight or stop sign at a full and complete stop…. I pressed down the accelerator and nothing happens for about a second and a half… When it finally does respond, it jumps as if it was struggling to get into gear and popped itself… However, then it goes right back to normal.. But the slow starting happens very often. Definite lag when punching on the gas.

Unknown. Intermittently when merging into highway traffic from the onramp, the truck will stall and I will lose acceleration. There will be a loss in power and the truck speed will not change. instead it will just coast with no ability to change speed. I have owned the truck for 1 year and 3months. I advised the dealer and they can not duplicate the issue.

SEAT SIDE PANELS (WHICH ARE PLASTIC) HAVE BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND NOW THE HAVE BROKEN AGAIN!!! I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET THEM REPLACED AGAIN WITH STRONGER MATERIAL THAT WILL LAST AS IT SHOULD!!!!!

There have been multiple times, since owning the vehicle, when there is dangerous throttle lag. I step on the gas to turn and nothing happens for a few seconds. It can be pretty scary when there is a car coming and the truck just rolls for a few minutes before accelerating. It’s become a major safety concern for my family.

1-2 second period of no throttle response from a rolling stop, then a sudden lurch of acceleration many times onto a now busy intersection.

Since purchasing this truck in 2023, the engine or transmission has exhibited a severe throttle lag/hesitation when cold—a 2–4 second delay in acceleration from a stop after pressing the gas pedal, followed by a sudden lurch, which creates a safety hazard when merging into traffic. No warning lights, error messages, or other fault indicators appear. The dealer has been unable to reproduce the issue because the truck is warm by the time it's inspected, and no inspection has been performed outside the dealership.

Throttle Lag: when stopped at a stop light/stop sign, there is significant delay from when the gas is depressed and the vehicle moves. This sometimes causes the vehicle to jolt forward and has almost caused accidents.

This has happened to me at least 6-7 times since owning as Jan 2024. Occasionally when stopped at stopped sign or red light, upon releasing brake and pressing gas pedal the engine will stall or stutter causing the vehicle to either hesitate to go and then launch or hesitate and not do anything. This is an issue as it has happened to me when trying to cross a divided highway and it stalling as I'm partially out in the middle of the road.

While pulling out into traffic, my truck will suddenly hesitate. It also caused a vehicle to hit me as the truck pulled out into the lane, then suddenly completely lost power. Dealer was unable to replicate. Has happened to me several times when at a stop light. This is slightly safer as traffic behind me is stopped or slowed. It feels like a throttle issue as it completely looses power
