My 2026 Toyota Tundra Limited I-Force has 12k miles. On numerous occasions when accelerating from a near-stop, I press the gas pedal and get ZERO response. The engine RPM's don't increase and it won't accelerate for approximately 3-4 seconds and then the throttle suddenly responds. No warnings. This is NOT engine lag. It's complete loss of pedal response and a SERIOUS safety concern. I will not allow my wife or kids to drive it because leaving the neighborhood requires crossing a highway and on numerous occasions the engine has hesitated 3-4 seconds on me in the middle of the road. To safely cross requires running the stop sign at a high enough speed where the engine won't hesitate. I…

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The electronic throttle control system (drive-by-wire) and Transmission Control Module (TCM) calibration. When accelerating from rolling stops or yields (0â10 mph), the vehicle experiences a severe dead-pedal delay with zero engine or transmission response for 1.5 to 2.5 seconds before surging forward. The unmodified vehicle is fully available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The failure creates an immediate crash hazard during left turns across traffic, entering roundabouts, and yielding into highway merges. Pressing the accelerator to merge into…

A significant rattle occurs randomly in between the frame and the rear passengar seating. We have contacted Toyota. Toyota believes it is a "normal road condition" of which would imply it happens every single mile driven. As the rattle can be startling, we have swerved by accident. In addition, Toyota has not fixed the issue and we have been in process of pursuing a settlement for faulty manufacturing. We also believe the Truck is a danger to road as this rattle may mean the frame may come off one day while driving.

My 2026 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro developed a sudden, loud knocking noise from the engine at approximately 15,000 miles while I was driving. The engine began running very rough, the vehicle started shaking, and the engine was losing power as I pulled over. The knocking was most noticeable at low RPM and followed engine RPM. There were no warning lights or warning messages before the problem occurred. I was able to safely pull the vehicle off the road, but the sudden loss of engine power and severe shaking created a safety concern. If the failure had occurred in heavier traffic or at highway speed, the loss of propulsion could have created a significant risk to me, my passengers, and other…

This lasted about 2 seconds. It was a 50 mph roadway and the approaching vehicles had to slow quickly to avoid a collision
