The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle had consistently experienced a throttle lag while driving from a complete stop and while decelerating. Additionally, the contact stated that while accelerating from a complete stop at an intersection, the vehicle hesitated to respond and then lurched forward while responding. There was no warning light illuminated. The failure had been recurring intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where an unknown repair was performed; however, the failure persisted. The dealer was notified of the failure. The contact stated that the dealer had advised that data from the Event Data Recorder(EDR) had been erased while in the process of correcting the throttle lag.

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving uphill at approximately 10 MPH, a loud abnormal sound was coming from the bottom of the vehicle. The contact merged to the shoulder of the road and inspected the vehicle when a bystander informed that three bearings were seen detaching from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer Flagstaff of Toyota where the vehicle was diagnosed that the CV axle was torn apart due to the lift kit previously installed. The contact was advised that the lift kit was not original equipment manufactured therefore causing the CV axle to fail and needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that when informing Anaheim Toyota of what had occurred they stated that the lift kit was the original manufacturer's equipment. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. …

The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that on two occasions while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle lost motive power while attempting to accelerate from a complete stop. Upon depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle abruptly stopped in the middle of an intersection, with the brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle resumed normal operation after several seconds. The vehicle has not yet been diagnosed or repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.
At a four way stop, four cars were stopped waiting for a car with right of way to turn left. Car turning left hesitated. I began to accelerate since myself and another car going straight had next right of way. Another car began to enter intersection so I let off the throttle and began to apply brakes for them to clear the intersection. This car also stopped seeing me begin to go so I hit the throttle as the intersection was clear for me. The truck, still rolling did nothing when I applied the throttle. I applied upwards of 50% throttle while the truck did nothing for approximately 2 seconds. I let off the throttle completely, for approximately 1 second and hit the throttle again to about 50% to quickly clear the intersection and not cause further confusion. The truck then lurched forward and accelerated rapidly where I had to again back off the throttle. …
Stopped at a stop sign, slightly uphill, turning from a residential street onto a busier road. When I pressed the accelerator, the pickup moved a bit and then hesitated. After pressing the accelerator further, the pickup accelerated suddenly and quickly. This has happened intermittently, multiple times. This is NOT the case of the auto start-stop system not starting quickly enough. The first risk is not being able to smoothly accelerate into traffic and getting hit from behind because of the hesitation. When the vehicle does accelerate, it jerks forward suddenly and quickly, often losing grip from the rear tires. This causes a risk of losing control or veering into the oncoming lane. The problem has been reported and the mechanics worked with the field engineers to diagnose the issue. …
I upgraded from my 2017 Tacoma to a 2024 Tundra because of a growing family and the as advertised 2024 listed the same (if not better) fuel economy than my Tacoma. I am the truck says 17 city-22 highway mpg, I've not seen anything remotely close to that. Im currently getting 14 city 16.5 highway. I understand there are outside factors that could be at play, however I'm not even getting the city mpg on long trips. Having paid roughly $65k for this truck I think it should deliver as advertised. I've expressed my concern with my local dealership and was instructed to manually calculate the mpg to make sure the truck was showing the correct mpg. I can assure you that the mpg the truck is displaying is, unfortunately, correct. I've also filed a complaint with Toyota corporate and they pushed it back to my local dealership. No kne is taking accountability for this false advertisement. …
My Tundra iForce MAX was Toyota saleperson demo truck before I purchased it. Got my truck approx. 2XXX Mileage in late sept. I started noticed transmission vibration while medium acceleration approx. 40 mph in early October. Vibration only occur during transmission warm up. Been attending to 2 dealerships multiple times and they find nothing wrong with my transmission since November 2024. I got Loaner 2024 Tundra iForce recently with same 10 speed transmission, it felt lot smoother and no vibration at all for a whole week before return the loaner. The vibration from my Tundra feels like clutch slippery somewhere from transmission or K0 Clutch. Some time it makes the acceleration feels delay while it was vibrating aka slippery. 2nd problem, I noticed left front tire edge shows sign of start worn out while tire is only have 8k miles on it. …
2024 limited, Hesitation when pressing accelerator. There will be no power for some time. then a sudden jolt of acceleration. The most memorable moments of this is when trying to turn left into a neighborhood while cross traffic is oncoming, trying to drive but the truck wont go. The indicator "Add or replace oil" comes on even just after being to the dealer to have my 15000 mile service checkup.I have only had oil changes at the dealer. The trucks brand new and costs too damn much to not have the dealer take care of this. Can see blue/gray smoke out of the tail pipe - proving the engines burning oil. I pointed this out and took video while dropping it off at the dealer, they acknowledged. Frequent rough starts, not every one but 3 out of 5, always accompanied by the smoke. Shifting is far too rough. From a stop to easing on the accelerator there is a large knock, smacking into gear. …
On Sunday November 30th, I was driving my 2024 Tundra with 30k miles on highway AZ-260 on my way back home to Phoenix. The stretch between Forest Lakes and Payson has an altitude drop of 2500 feet with many areas having a 7% drop. During this drive, my engine shut down with no warning while I was going 65 MPH on a mountain highway with a 7% decline in altitude. The truck had 5 people in it with no power brakes, no engine and going 65 MPH downhill. There was no warning at all. We were able to stop at a safe spot and called a tow truck. The engine started making a loud clanking noise. We had to arrange a ride for all five of us from Payson to Phoenix (~100 miles). This was a very scary situation and it left us shaken. This could have been catastrophic for an inexperienced driver. The truck is currently at AutoNation Toyota Tempe. It has been there for 5 weeks. …
