The alignment has consistently been an issue since I purchased the truck in March 2025. I've had the wheels aligned 3 times since I purchased it. I took it in for the 25000 mile service and it's out of alignment again. I've never had a vehicle go out of alignment let alone 4 times in 18 months.

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while attempting to defrost the windshield on several occasions during the winter months, the windshield defroster failed to operate properly. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on two separate occasions and remained there for weeks. However, the dealers were unable to determine the cause of the failure and were awaiting approval from the Corporate Office to proceed with the diagnostic test. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.

Engine 2

On July 20, the vehicle experienced a catastrophic mechanical failure resulting in a total engine seizure while operating. The failure caused an immediate, sudden loss of motive power, forcing the vehicle to become completely immobilized on the Interstate highway. This unexpected loss of propulsion created an immediate and severe highway crash hazard for myself and surrounding traffic. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Toyota dealership on July 20 under the 5-year/60,000-mile factory powertrain warranty. The vehicle has remained completely out of service since that date. The dealership has tentatively scheduled the engine repair and replacement to begin on August 24 or 25, meaning the vehicle will have been non-operational and out of service for over 35 consecutive days before repairs even commence.

I am reporting a severe thermal and electrical safety hazard regarding the OEM wireless charging pad in a 2025 Toyota Tundra. During standard vehicle operation, the integrated charging pad overheats to extreme temperatures. On a recent drive, the heat generated by the vehicle's charging pad was so intense that it physically melted, blistered, and deformed a MagSafe-compatible protective case on a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. This safety issue has been brought to an authorized dealership, Toyota of Hollywood (Repair Order #[XXX]), for a second consecutive time. The dealership officially documented the property damage in writing on the invoice, stating: 'Phone got melted from how hot it gets.' However, they refused to perform repairs or disable the system, explicitly noting: 'Vehicle was compared to another and both doing the same.' By admitting that multiple new vehicles exhibit this exact overheating behavior, the manufacturer is confirming a systemic and unaddressed design or manufacturing defect. An in-dash electrical component capable of melting plastic poses an immediate cabin fire hazard, risks triggering thermal runaway in the mobile device's lithium-ion battery, and directly threatens occupant safety. Toyota Corporate has opened Case #[XXX], but no remedy or safety recall has been provided." INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Heads up display(HUD) and windshield incompatibility issues from factory making HUD display blurry. Very distracting while driving because you’re too busy trying to see clearly and it takes away time from playing attention to the road. Lots of reports online about blurry HUD with 3rd generation toyota tundra from the beginning model year all the way up to most recent model year- it seems like they’re not doing anything about it. People online have reported getting dizzy while driving when trying to focus on the HUD- possible cause of accidents? Please look into this!

Toyota Tundra 2025 Limited stalled at highway speeds. The vehicle flashed "Parking Brake Support" message, but dealer says it has to do with an engine failure. Vehicle came to a grinding stop and would only advance in short spurts before dying on the side of the road. I was in the left lane of a major highway during rush hour. Luckily, traffic was behind me, and I was able to limp to the shoulder before traffic arrived. I noticed nothing prior. A loose gas cap may have prompted the system to send failure message. I haven't heard yet why it stalled. But my safety was definitely put at risk, and I was lucky to not be rearended

The truck has had three alignments and it still pulls to the right.

Have owned the 2025 Toyota Tundra for about 18 months. Multiple instances of delayed acceleration when stopped or almost stopped, sometimes as much as 3 or 4 seconds. Last time was in early June, 2026. This is very dangerous because when I pull out into an intersection it will start to go but then lose all power for a few seconds with traffic coming behind me. This is something Toyota needs to look into.

I have experienced a severe hesitation or delay in acceleration when accelerating from a stop or near-stop condition. While the issue has only occurred a few times over the past several months, on multiple occasions it happened while merging into traffic and nearly resulted in an accident. Toyota has issued Technical Service Bulletin (TSB-0032-26) addressing this condition. However, when I brought my vehicle to the dealership, Toyota documented that they were unable to reproduce or confirm the hesitation, and no repair was performed. This defect presents a significant safety risk. Unexpected loss of acceleration during traffic merges, intersections, or other situations requiring immediate power can place drivers and passengers in danger and could lead to serious injury or death. Given the safety implications and the fact that the remedy appears to be a software update requiring less than an hour to perform, I believe this issue warrants a formal safety recall rather than a voluntary Technical Service Bulletin. I urge NHTSA to investigate this matter and require Toyota to provide a recall remedy for all affected vehicles.

Problem - throttle lag/hesitation/lurch. Truck won't go when throttle is pressed for a couple seconds cold or hot. Mentioned the problem on my 5000 mile service. Service tech said he could not reproduce the problem but happens with my drives 95% of the time. No warning lights have appeared.

285/65R18 All four tires have accelerated wear on the outside edge at approximately 20k miles while the middle and inside o the tires has about 80% tread left. I believe the tire was not cambered correctly as delivered from the factory settings.

When coming to a rolling or quick stop and then attempting to maneuver across traffic, my truck hesitates for about a full second before accelerating. This delay can create a dangerous situation for myself, other drivers, and pedestrians. I believe this is a safety issue that Toyota needs to address promptly.

The issue I’m having is the transmission/engine when it comes to the hesitation for stopping and either slowing down or just a rolling stop. Sometime I would feel like I need to precisely control the brake pedal in order to go smooth stop, but no. It feels like it’s ’jumping’ in mini burst. I have the hybrid engine of the V35A-FTS. I did check for recalls but nothing found but found a TSB from Toyota T-SB-0032-26, but my hybrid is not covered, only the non-hybrid Tundra. Please help. Thanks

Excessive outer tire wear at 15,000 miles. Dealer advised that alignment was out of spec due to “Michigan roads” but I noticed this at 10,000 miles too and it’s still occurring.
