2025 Toyota Tundra

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 malfunctioning part is the front left brake pads. The faulty brakes pads could pose a problem when stopping the vehicle. This problem was brought to the attention to my dealer in November 2025. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer in the spring of 2026 and acknowledged Toyota Corporate in 2026. There were no indications of problems when the vehicle was sold to me in August 2025. However, there was knowledge by Toyota of a problem with the brakes. See Toyota Technical Service Bulletin #s XXX May 6, 2024, & February 10, 2025. My case numbers with Toyota Corporate include #XXX, #XXX, #XXX. There are many videos on YouTube with the same problems as mine. There seems to be no interest by Toyota or my dealership to remedy the problem. I paid a lot of money for this vehicle and pay a sizable monthly note to listen to squealing brakes and wondering if they may fail.

While driving approximately 10–15 mph approaching a green light, a truck in front of me suddenly slammed on its brakes. As soon as I saw the brake lights I immediately applied my brakes before any system alert activated. I stopped within approximately 3–5 feet of the vehicle in front of me. At the same time, a truck behind me was approaching quickly. To avoid being rear-ended I pressed the accelerator to move out of the way. However my vehicle would not respond. Despite pressing the gas pedal the truck remained in a braking or non-responsive state and would not accelerate. I attempted to switch between the brake and gas pedal but the vehicle still would not move. This condition lasted approximately 30–60 seconds leaving me stopped in active traffic and unable to take evasive action. This created a serious safety hazard as I was at high risk of being rear-ended due to the vehicle’s failure to respond to acceleration input. The delay was critical and could have resulted in a collision. There were no warning lights or messages prior to or during the incident. The issue occurred suddenly without any indication. This appears to be related to the Pre-Collision System (PCS) and/or the vehicle’s throttle/acceleration system. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The issue has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or service center and the vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer or other parties BUT I did call yesterday and haven’t received a response so I will be taking it to Gulf Coast Toyota today [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When applying the brakes at highway speeds the vehicle shakes violently. If in a turn of going downhill you have to release the brakes so you don’t lose control of the brakes. Started happening at 10,000 miles on a brand new truck. Toyota tells my I have to pay $440 to recondition the rotors. In all my years and many cars and trucks I’ve never had a warped rotor. I don’t ride the brakes and don’t tow anything with this truck. I am baffled at this situation. The service manager said he’s seeing several 2025 Tundras with low mileage rotor warping so this seems to be a design defect.

“I own a 2025 Toyota Tundra Platinum. The brake lights do not activate until the brake pedal is nearly halfway depressed. This is a safety defect because drivers behind me are not warned when I’m slowing or braking early. My dealership said ‘that’s the way it is’, but I believe this violates safety standards and puts me at risk. I want this documented and escalated for inspection and repair.”
