2025 TOYOTA TUNDRA

STRUCTURE:BODY

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Speedometer and associated systems and controls are inaccurate by margin of 18% (9mph @ 55 mph) Speedometer reports speed of 55 mph when truck is traveling at gps tracked speed of 64 mph. Without an accurate speed reading, it's easy to accidentally speed, especially in areas where the speed limit frequently changes. Speeding increases your stopping distance and reduces the time you have to react to unexpected events, significantly raising the risk of an accident Inaccurate Distance Tracking Your speedometer is often linked to your odometer, which tracks the distance your vehicle has traveled. A faulty speedometer can lead to inaccurate mileage readings, which might affect your vehicle's maintenance schedule. If your odometer isn't tracking miles correctly, you might miss crucial maintenance milestones like oil changes, tire rotations, or other essential services. Fuel Efficiency Issues A malfunctioning speedometer can also impact your ability to monitor and maintain fuel efficiency. Without accurate speed data, you may find it difficult to optimize your driving habits for better fuel economy. This can lead to increased fuel consumption and higher operating costs over time. Legal and Insurance Complications In the event of an accident, a faulty speedometer can create legal and insurance challenges. If you can't accurately prove your speed at the time of an incident, it could complicate the process of determining fault. This is particularly problematic in accidents where speed is a critical factor. This problem was reported to Anderson Toyota dealership and Toyota corporate customer care

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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Throttle lag / hesitation when pushing the gas pedal. This is a very serious issue. There are many many complaints about this issue but the toyota and the dealer is not doing anything about it. This hesitation has almost caused me several accidents because the gas pedal does not respond. Causing on coming traffic to swerve or brake to avoid me. Let's hope this issue get attention before it's too late. Just Google "tundra throttle lag" and see how many tundra owners have this serious issue.

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.

Complaint Regarding Misrepresentation of Vehicle Trim Level by Toyota - VIN Discrepancy To the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: I am writing to file a formal complaint against Toyota Motor North America regarding the misrepresentation of the trim level of a vehicle I purchased. On December 1, 2024, I purchased a 2025 Toyota Tundra 1794 Crewmax Edition. However, upon using the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) VIN decoder, I discovered that the vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) indicates the vehicle’s trim level as Double Cab, which is incorrect. This discrepancy is a significant issue for the following reasons: Misrepresentation of Purchased Vehicle: The VIN incorrectly identifying the vehicle as a Double Cab misrepresents the actual 1794 Crewmax Edition I purchased. Potential Impact on Vehicle Value: This error may negatively affect the vehicle's resale value, as the documentation does not accurately reflect the vehicle's specifications. Concerns About Documentation Accuracy: The discrepancy raises serious concerns about the accuracy and reliability of the vehicle’s documentation. I made multiple attempts to get this resolved with Toyota Motor North America to address this issue (case numbers, 250308000352, 250214001352, 25030400099). Despite multiple attempts to communicate and resolve this matter, I have not received a satisfactory response or resolution. I believe that Toyota’s actions constitute unfair and deceptive practices, as they have provided me with a vehicle that is not accurately represented in its official documentation. Requested Action: I request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigate this matter thoroughly and take immediate action to compel Toyota to correct the vehicle’s documentation to accurately reflect the 1794 Crewmax Edition trim level. I expect a prompt response outlining the steps that will be taken to resolve this issue and to ensure that Toyota addresses thi

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.

I was driving around 4 p.m. when sunlight hit the engine hood. The sun's reflection went directly into my eyes and blinded me for seconds. I could stop before hitting another car in front of me. The way the hood is designed is dangerous because the sunlight hits the angle and reflects the light to the cabin, especially for the driving seat from the left, center, and right sides.The sunlight, magnified by the glossy finish of the hood's paint, burned my eyes, so I was blind for seconds. I had to keep seeing ahead of me because there was traffic.I have some pictures.I hope someone reviews this message and contacts me or Toyota before someone gets injured.
