While driving on the interstate, my sunroof suddenly exploded and glass shattered from the moveable portion of the sunroof. It sounded like a shotgun or a very loud pop. There was nothing above me on the road (i.e. no overpasses, etc) and no vehicles in front of me at the time. The sunshade was closed which saved me from pieces of glass falling on me, in my eyes, and potentially cutting me. It was very sudden, unexpected, and on a vehicle that is only ~18 months old. This was very loud, unexpected, and sudden. A potentially very dangerous situation.

I was crossing two lanes of a 4-lane highway from a stop. I floored the accelerator to cross traffic and the truck hesitated for approximately 1-2 seconds in the middle of the highway before finally accelerating. During this time I was completely exposed to oncoming traffic with no ability to move the vehicle. This is not the first time I have experienced throttle hesitation on this vehicle but this was by far the most dangerous instance. The truck has ~17,000 miles and is a 2025 model year

My 2025 Toyota Tundra’s air conditioning is not cooling properly. The A/C does not perform as expected, especially in hot weather. I am concerned this may be a defect in the HVAC/climate control system. I am also concerned about driver safety because poor A/C performance in extreme heat can affect the driver and passengers, and HVAC issues may also affect proper window defogging/defrosting. I am requesting that NHTSA review this issue and track similar complaints for possible investigation. Not blowing cold wind, temperature changes and blows less air as temperature changes from hot to cold or cold to hot. at one point drove around 5 miles away from home before cool air started to blow.

Engine

My truck engine seized at highway speeds on 4/29/2026. Machining debris seized to the engine’s bearings causing oil to dump from the engine and the engine to completely seize. This is the same issue that NHSTA forced Toyota to issue a recall on 2022-2024 Toyota Tundras.

I own a 2025 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO. Bought in May of 2025. Has around 10,000 miles on odometer. Multiple times since I purchased this vehicle I have tried to accelerate into the flow of traffic from a stop and the truck would barely make it into the roadway and then suddenly lose acceleration leaving me without power when I needed it most. This caused panic and near collision with other vehicles coming towards me. This has happened a few times on a four lane with a turning lane in the middle. This is serious flaw and could end up causing a collision. This is the only vehicle I have ever experienced this problem with. Since I purchased this problem has occurred five or six times on my Tundra and twice it happened to me on my wifes 2025 Toyota 4runner TRD PRO.

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)

I am seeking a case review regarding a persistent and unresolved drivetrain issue with my 2025 Toyota Tundra (non-hybrid) that began immediately following a dealership service visit and has continued for over one month without resolution despite multiple repair attempts. Since that time, the vehicle has exhibited consistent transmission-related defects including failure to shift properly into higher gears (notably not reaching 10th gear at highway speeds), RPM hanging under light throttle, delayed acceleration followed by sudden surges in power, and harsh or erratic downshifting that causes the vehicle to lurch forward when slowing to a stop. The vehicle also demonstrates inconsistent torque delivery, where boost builds but power is not transferred until a delayed and abrupt engagement occurs. These issues are most pronounced during normal highway driving conditions and significantly impair drivability and safety, particularly when merging or maintaining speed. I have brought the vehicle to multiple Toyota dealerships for inspection, where diagnostic scans have not produced any fault codes and I have repeatedly been told the vehicle is operating “within normal parameters,” despite the ongoing and reproducible performance issues. The dealerships have been unable to replicate or resolve the problem, and I have received inconsistent explanations ranging from normal operation to speculative driving pattern causes. I have an active case open with Toyota corporate, but after a month of delays, lack of diagnosis, and no corrective action, the issue remains unresolved. Given the ongoing safety concerns, repeated repair attempts, and inability of Toyota to identify or fix the defect, I am now left without a resolution & am instructed to drive the vehicle despite drivetrain issues.
