“When using the cruise control and lane keeping system the truck will jerk into oncoming traffic and try to swerve off to turning lanes. I took it to Toyota and they couldn't find any problem. no warning lights or any indication of a problem shows on the dash. At this point the system is unusable. I have seen many post of similar incidents on the internet.”Owner report · Lane Departure · Jul 2026
“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!”Owner report · Unknown Or Other,Visibility/Wiper · Jun 2026
“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”Owner report · Vehicle Speed Control,Service Brakes,Engine · Jun 2026

“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.”Owner report · Engine,Fuel/Propulsion System · Jun 2026
