2025 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

There is an interment issue where the vehicle fails to accelerate from a stop when accelerator is applied. This issue is present in my current vehicle and my previous 2023 tundra. I have brought up concerns to the dealer and manufacturer and am told every time that the concern cannot be duplicated, but I feel that it is going to lead to a crash not only for me but other owners

The HVAC climate control system in my 2025 Toyota Tundra Limited malfunctioned while the vehicle was idling. The air conditioning had been set to cool and was operating normally, but without any touch to the controls or any alert, the system switched from blowing cold air to blowing warm/hot air. This caused the cabin temperature to increase rapidly. Because there were no warning lights, notifications, or error messages, there was no indication that the air system had changed. The vehicle continued to show that A/C was on and functioning. The malfunction resulted in the cabin reaching a dangerously high temperature. This caused fatal heat injury to one animal and critical heat injury to another, both of which were inside the vehicle at the time. One is still undergoing medical treatment. This same type of HVAC issue has been reported by other 2024–2025 Toyota Tundra owners in multiple owner discussion groups, particularly related to the vehicle blowing warm air at idle or failing to maintain cabin temperature. This suggests a potential widespread defect, whether software-related or involving the A/C compressor control system. This presents a serious safety risk, especially for: Children Animals Disabled or elderly passengers Anyone unable to immediately exit the vehicle The vehicle remains in our possession and can be inspected. Service interactions with the Toyota dealership are documented and available. Immediate investigation is needed to determine the cause of this HVAC failure and whether a recall or TSB must be issued to prevent future injury or death.

On August 31, 2025, my 2025 Toyota Tundra experienced a sudden steering failure while I was driving, which caused an accident with a parked vehicle. The steering wheel completely seized up and I was unable to control the vehicle. This was a serious safety hazard that put my life and the lives of others on the road at risk. The vehicle showed warning messages and error codes related to the steering system immediately before and after the crash. The problem was unexpected and there was no prior damage to the vehicle that would explain this. The vehicle is currently at a Toyota dealership, where the dealer has confirmed that the inspection has been submitted to Toyota corporate for review. My insurance company has also inspected the vehicle. At this time, Toyota has not provided me with a resolution. This appears to be a manufacturer defect in the steering system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

The hood design of the 3rd generation toyota tundra causes SEVERE solar glare back into the cab and this is a known issue. While I could site many instances of it casing a problem, the most recent scenario caused me to nearly run a stop sign and hit a pedestrian. The glare is so blinding it’s impossible to drive without holding your hand up to block it. Countless tundra owners have complained about this but because it hasn’t been cited as a safety issue, Toyota isn’t responsible. This is requiring owners to put black decals on their hoods or add tint strips to the BOTTOM of the windshield to block it. I have sensitive eyes, so my windshield and windows are already tinted and it doesn’t touch this. MAKE TOYOTA FIX THIS! I have not had my specific situation investigated simply because it was already such a known problem. I’m voicing my concerns so ALL Tundra owners can drive safely. They charge a mortgage for these things and I’m scared to drive it at certain times of the day. Cameras can’t capture it the same but the pictures show it fairly well. My hand got HOT holding it this way.
