I’ve notice that when coming to a stop or yield when you press the gas pedal to go or continue driving there’s a lag or delay. This has happened more than 4-5 times since I purchased the truck on December 23, 2024. The last time it happened was last Saturday August 9, 2025. Truck was on sport mode, Auto Stop/Start was off. I’m at a light waiting to make a right turn, when I pressed the gas pedal to go it went forward and felt like I slammed the brakes. I had to take my foot off the gas pedal, brake, then gas it up again to go. It is a little scary because this could cause an accident. I’ve taken my truck to the dealership about this, but they said they can’t do anything about it because they cannot recreate the issue.

Upon starting the vehicle on 8/6/2025 i received multiple warnings: advanced ultrasonic detecting and ranging system malfunction, Pre-Collision system malfunction, Parking Brake system malfunction, Check engine ECM malfunction, Vehicle stability control system malfunction Secondary collison brake system malfunction, It now take almost a mile on level ground to reach 45 mph. This occurred without warning. the vehicle was ok the day before when I parked it.
When you come to the complete stop if the AC on or not on the engine vibrate, and when I called Toyota dealership, there is no answers for it
While merging from a stop or slow roll, once the accelerator is pushed the vehicle hesitates for 3-5 seconds. Once the vehicle starts powering up it lurches forward and you have to stop accelerating to keep control.
Only had the truck for 3 weeks, I'm starting to feel a lag when accelerating. I thought it was just the turbo lagging, but it may be the gas pedal communicating as I barely ease into it.
2025 Toyota Tundra with 2200 miles. Truck has developed an intermittent lag/hesitation when starting from a stop. At random times, when pulling out into fast moving traffic, hit the pedal to proceed and enter the roadway and it will take a second or two before there is any response from the engine. Oncoming traffic traveling at 50mph are now a second or two closer and need to brake hard to avoid collision. There seems to be a fault between the throttle pedal and the engine. No warning lamps. Difficult to reproduce as it only happens on occasion. Vehicle has not been inspected by a dealership. The issue has been reported to Toyota via online support, message # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Throttle lag. When I step on the gas pedal, there is a hesitation or lag which the truck doesn't move forward when asked. Very, very dangerous when entering traffic. Almost caused an accident. Not good. This must be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed. This is no joke and should be taken seriously. I hope this doesn't get ignored as this is a serious problem.
Vehicle shudders and hesitates during acceleration from a stop and at speed. Vehicle feels like it is trying to find the correct gear which is causing the turbos to release boost pressure prematurely.
I was driving about 50 MPH and suddenly my check engine light came on and the truck died and would not start. I was told that the engine failed and will need to be replaced.
