Lags when accelerating from a full stop. At least 1-2 seconds. Extremely dangerous. I’ve got 600 miles on a brand new truck and it’s happened twice in the last 24 hours. I was nearly T-boned.

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.
Delay in throttle response from a complete and/or rolling stop. Delay lag and/or hesitation on take off

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.
Vehicle shudders and hesitates during acceleration from a stop and at speed. Vehicle feels like it is trying to find the correct gear which is causing the turbos to release boost pressure prematurely.

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at 45 MPH on the highway, there was an abnormally high-pitched whistling sound coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that the sound became louder while accelerating. The contact stated that the sound was very distracting. The driver turned the radio up to drown out the abnormal sound. The contact discovered that the sound was coming from the driver's side mirror. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was able to duplicate the sound but had not determined the cause or how to fix the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 10.
There is significant throttle lag where the throttle has a delay in engagement after a rolling stop. Turning into traffic flat out is dangerous when the throttle has a delay, if you push harder then it gives you too much throttle after the delay and will chirp the tires. I am not the only one. 100s if not thousands of people are…

There is significant throttle lag where the throttle has a delay in engagement after a rolling stop. Turning into traffic flat out is dangerous when the throttle has a delay, if you push harder then it gives you too much throttle after the delay and will chirp the tires. I am not the only one. 100s if not thousands of people are complaining about this same issue.
I was driving about 50 MPH and suddenly my check engine light came on and the truck died and would not start. I was told that the engine failed and will need to be replaced.
