2022 Toyota Tundra complaints

Hesitation at acceleration. Especially from start

When getting on the gas from a complete stop the engine hesitates to get going. I use sport mode and it helps lessen the effects.

Multiple times a day, when I push on the accelerator there is a delay. I’ve almost been hit a couple of times.

Occasionally, upon coming to a stop or from the stopped position the vehicle briefly hesitates when trying to accelerate cause the vehicle to aggressively jerk once the vehicle begins to accelerate, sometimes leaving you in the middle of an intersection or in a dangerous situation in traffic due to unresponsive acceleration inputs.

Lack of throttle response. Takes 5 seconds for the throttle to respond to legal input making it dangerous when accelerating.

The major throttle lag. When leaving from a stop it takes a few seconds of pressing the gas before the truck even begins to accelerate. I have had multiple issues with throttle lag when dealing with oncoming traffic. No lights have indicated any issues and all the dealerships can tell me is it’s a common issue.

Hesitation in accelerating

Unknown what component failed. Safety was at risk because the delay in the throttle response can result in get in an accident. I can't reproduce the problem. It happens at random. The vehicle has never been inspected by anyone about this issue. No warning whatsoever. It doesn't happen ofen. Some times it's worse than others.

Hesitation when pulling out from a stop. Enough of an unplanned delay that it’s dangerous from cross-traffic at an intersection. Complained to dealer and they “updated” the computer and it still happens.

There is a hesitation from the engine when vehicle is stopped. I have almost got into accident because of this. Dealer flashed the update but still no resolution. Dealer says it’s by design. When taking off from the atop sight or a traffic light, vehicle hesitates big time to move forward.

Hesitation going from stop to start. Have been put in numerous unsafe conditions with it hesitating coming out of a stop almost getting t boned.

Consistent hesitation with throttle application, usually from a standstill.

Delay acceleration hesitation

Engine hesitation. When I go to accelerate there is a noticeable lag/hesitation before power is applied

Acceleration hesitation and lag especially in 1st gear.

My engine was replaced under the recall at 75,000 miles. One day and less than 100 miles later, the engine lost motive power on the upgrade side of an overpass on the highway at 75 MPH. The vehicle slowed so quickly that if other vehicles would have been near, it undoubtedly would have caused an accident. I had it towed to the shop and they are investigating the problem. I also called Toyota Corporate HQ and notified them about the problem.

Total engine failure occurred, leaving me stranded 1500 miles away from home while on a road trip with family. The engine completely shut off on me at highway on ramp speeds, causing me to perform evasive maneuvers to pull over. Vehicle started smoking from engine compartment once parked, causing me and my [XXX] daughter to emergency exit the vehicle on the side of a busy highway. Truck was towed to closest dealer where they held the vehicle for 57 days. It was stated that this recall was the cause of the issue. They did not have a solution to the recall and simply replaced internal damaged engine parts. There were no warning lights or caution lights prior to this event occurring. I have reached out to Toyota Branding Division but have not received any reply. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Tire size 265/60R20. All tires have cracked around the bead of the rim. This was discovered at 24,663 miles during regularly scheduled maintenance at Copeland Toyota in Brockton, MA on March 20, 2025. Defective manufacturing suspected. Upon further investigation of this tire model on the Internet, I discovered dozens of reports of the same sidewall failure by Toyota Tundra owners with very low mileage. I contacted Bridgestone Support on March 20, and per their instruction, took the vehicle to a Bridgestone authorized dealer (Firestone Complete Auto Care, Warren Ave. Brockton, MA) on March 21. The inspection determined that the tires have failed. The technician indicated that Bridgestone has very limited inventory of this tire model, indicative that the tire is being discontinued. I contacted Bridgestone Support on March 21, indicating that there is likely a manufacturing defect, and was advised to report this to the NHTSA, because the Bridgestone employee stated that they have no internal capability to report a potential manufacturing defect. I suspect there is a likelihood that these tires have been discontinued because of defects, but Bridgestone has not alerted customers of such a safety hazard. My Bridgestone Support reference number is [XXX]. Please investigate this as I believe there is a safety hazard due manufacturer defect.

When I step on the accelerator the engine will sometimes have a very long lag which has almost caused me to get in a wreck when crossing traffic.

The cover on the passenger side mirror has a cover with a camera attached that keeps flying off on highways. Last time it came detached from the vehicle and tripped my collision control sending my vehicle into an emergency stop for no reason. I had no warning that this was going to come off nor should I expect body panels to fly off my vehicle. I have expressed this to Toyota and showed evidence of this being a well documented issue with other customers and they are still denying responsibility for this. My vehicle has never been in an accident and this part has never been tampered with. The dealer even feels this is a quality issue with Toyota and tried to help and was unsuccessful.

Hesitation when trying to accelerate after slowing down or coming to a stop.

See attached document for complaint.

Front brakes noisy, vehicle shudders when brakes applied. Dealership inspected at 21,000 miles, replaced brake pads and turned rotors at 22,000 miles. Not under warranty, paid out of pocket. Now Toyota admits brake parts were faulty, has new part numbers to repair the defect, but parts have been on backorder for 6 months or more. Toyota needs to recall the defective brakes, and make a remedy (upgraded brake parts) available to ALL affected owners, including those that were denied coverage under warranty, and are still driving around on original, faulty brakes.

When pulling out onto roadway after stopping there is a hesitation for a few seconds and the vehicle hesitates which is very dangerous and could cause an accident.

There is a drastic throttle hesitation. When at a complete stop or from a slow speed, upon accelerating, it’s like the truck needs three seconds to realize I’m trying to go forward. In certain situations, this can be very dangerous. Has happened consistently since I have had the truck for 2.5 years. I tell the dealer every single time and they can’t ever duplicate it and if they could, they aren’t going to fix it anyway.

Major throttle response issues. Long delay when pressing accelerator, and when under heavy acceleration, if you let off the gas because of an obstacle, the truck continues to apply propulsion. Both issues could create an unsafe situation or cause a collision

The engine hesitated going up a hill by my house. I’ve gone up the hill many times in this truck and other cars and never had the problem. I turned it off and started it again but I do t know if I should keep driving. The dealer says I can’t get the recall done yet.

Have constant hesitation when accelerating, especially at higher speeds. Only thing that has fixed it is when dealer resets computer, after a week issues comes back. Happens also when at a stop and try to accelerate rapidity.

Hesitation when I press the accelerator almost causing several accidents as I get stalled in the middle of an intersection. This has happened approximately five times in the last several months. A very scary situation. Very dangerous several times almost was T-boned

There is hesitation when depressing the accelerator. After stopping at stop sign then trying to move into traffic the vehicle will not move for several seconds. When the vehicle does move it takes off at an increased rate. This has happened several times from the first day the vehicle drove off the lot until present day.

Truck will hesitate to respond to throttle pedal input when attempting to accelerate from a stop. This has occurred numerous times over the 3 years I’ve owned it and appears to happen randomly. This 1-2 second delay puts driver safety and other drivers at risk due to inability to quickly enter or cross lanes of traffic.

Vehicle began with a knocking noise which occurred for approximately 3 days. Before being able to get an appointment at the dealer the vehicle shut off and would not move with our family in it in a lane of traffic. The vehicle has since been towed to Toyota and no clear guidance on the resolution of the engine seizing up has been shared.

There is a significant lag on acceleration when coming to a slow stop. Best way to describe it...California rolling to a stop sign and when you want to go, it delays and then suddenly goes. And if you’re in any traffic heavy environment, it always seems to lag you harder than expected, then suddenly surges. It seems to always surprise you even though you’ve been experiencing it so many times already. I’ve found driving other vehicles gets me into trouble now, too. My daily driver is this Tundra, and I try to consciously adjust for the lag. When I get into any other vehicle it responds appropriately and, well, my expected lag isn’t there and I accelerate faster than usual and has also almost caused a collision, such as turning left into traffic, trying to time it just right between oncoming vehicles.

Vehicle sporadically hesitates when accelerating from stop. Cause unknown. Dealer declined to address condition because they could not replicate it.

Hesitattaion/dead pedal when accelerating from a stop. Happens often off and on

Vehicle hesitates when pressing the accelerator, especially when pulling off after a complete stop. This doesn't happen 100% of the time. From my experience, this happens 65-70% of the time with varying degrees of hesitancy. It's a safety issue as you never know when this is going to happen and to what degree; especially when crossing traffic lanes at an uncontrolled street crossing. I have spun out of my gravel driveway many times due to the hesitation.

The contact owns a 2022 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel became firm, and the vehicle was difficult to steer while turning to the left or the right. In addition, the vehicle had experienced a stall. The contact stated that the fire alert message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the engine was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the message was occasionally illuminated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

This is a safety engine recall identified by the manufacturer. I have taken the truck to the dealer for remediation. At this point they do not have a date for correction.

I received a recall notice for my 22 tundra for the engine replacement. I scheduled the service and the dealers wanted to charge me doing the engine swap. They stated that due to me having a lift kit (which I had years prior to this recall) that they couldn’t do the engine swap without removing the radiator and other front end pieces or removing the body from the frame which they stated would cost me thousands of dollars. I’m trying to understand why would I have to pay for a mishap on Toyota ‘s part with the engine recall remedy that came about 3 years after my truck and me getting a lift kit installed. Why should I have to pay thousands of dollars for something that I was unaware would need to be done years later after purchasing.

The fuel gauge sometimes does not read properly. It's happened a few times where the gauge reads inaccurate.
