“My 2022 toyota tundra was part of an engine replacement recall. The original engine was replaced Oct 3 2025 at around 38,200 miles. The replacement engine broke down while driving on the street (could have happened on the freeway) on October 10 2026 at around 50k miles. Im waiting on how toyota will solve this problem.”
“On September 1, 2026, my 2022 Toyota Tundra experienced a serious loss of accelerator response while I was leaving a gas station and entering traffic. I pressed the accelerator, but the truck provided effectively no acceleration, leaving me partially in the roadway. An approaching vehicle had to swerve into the opposing traffic lane to avoid a collision. I had experienced a similar low-speed loss of accelerator response within the prior two weeks. On September 2, while traveling on I-70 at approximately 70 mph, the truck experienced a separate loss-of-power event. Engine RPM dropped considerably and the vehicle felt as though it were coasting. I pressed the accelerator firmly, but it did not respond normally for approximately 5-10 seconds before power returned. Radar/adaptive cruise control was not engaged. I immediately took the truck to Western Slope Toyota. Technicians checked for codes, performed multiple road tests and recorded vehicle data but could not reproduce the intermittent failure. The issue was escalated to Toyota technical assistance under TAS Case 262460664. This problem has been documented by Western Slope Toyota since 2023. Toyota's applicable…”
“Driving on the interstate and the truck surged very hard. The truck began to surge very hard and went into decreased speed mode. We were told by the dealer there is a TSB for the PCM. This decreased power caused the truck to not be able to travel over 25 MPH in a 70 MPH zone. This caused an unsafe situation.”
