   On 06/02/2026, at approximately 20,000 miles, the driver's front interior door handle on my 2025 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro failed. An internal component connecting the handle to the latch mechanism broke, and the door could not be opened from inside. I was unable to exit the vehicle through the driver's door using the interior handle. I had to lower the window and open the door using the exterior handle to exit the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired under warranty at Loyalty Toyota (Chester, VA), repair order 7245169/1. The dealer initially suggested the failure might be classified as improper use. They later informed me that Toyota considers it a known manufacturing defect, and the handle was replaced. On 09/06, at approximately 25,000 miles, the driver-side rear interior door handle failed in the same manner. The vehicle is currently at the same dealer awaiting parts, repair order 7255879/1. I asked the dealer to replace the remaining interior door handles because the failure is a known defect. The dealer said Toyota will replace each handle only after it fails. This is a safety concern. The interior door handles are the primary way for occupants to exit the vehicle. If a handle fails during a crash, fire, submersion, or other emergency, an occupant may be unable to open the door and could be trapped. Passengers, including children or anyone unfamiliar with the vehicle, are unlikely to know to use the window and exterior handle as a workaround. Because the failures occur without warning, there is no way to know which remaining handle will fail next. Other owners of 2025 Tundra's report the same failure on owner forums, and similar interior handle failures have been reported on the 2025 Tacoma. I am asking NHTSA to review whether this is a defect pattern affecting 2025 Tundra and Tacoma interior door handles that warrants investigation or a recall.

   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.

   The alignment has consistently been an issue since I purchased the truck in March 2025. I've had the wheels aligned 3 times since I purchased it. I took it in for the 25000 mile service and it's out of alignment again. I've never had a vehicle go out of alignment let alone 4 times in 18 months.

6. Filed Aug 18, 2026Failure Jul 20, 2026Sioux Falls, SDEngine, Power train

   On July 20, the vehicle experienced a catastrophic mechanical failure resulting in a total engine seizure while operating. The failure caused an immediate, sudden loss of motive power, forcing the vehicle to become completely immobilized on the Interstate highway. This unexpected loss of propulsion created an immediate and severe highway crash hazard for myself and surrounding traffic. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Toyota dealership on July 20 under the 5-year/60,000-mile factory powertrain warranty. The vehicle has remained completely out of service since that date. The dealership has tentatively scheduled the engine repair and replacement to begin on August 24 or 25, meaning the vehicle will have been non-operational and out of service for over 35 consecutive days before repairs even commence.

   The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while attempting to defrost the windshield on several occasions during the winter months, the windshield defroster failed to operate properly. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on two separate occasions and remained there for weeks. However, the dealers were unable to determine the cause of the failure and were awaiting approval from the Corporate Office to proceed with the diagnostic test. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 17,000.

   I am reporting a severe thermal and electrical safety hazard regarding the OEM wireless charging pad in a 2025 Toyota Tundra. During standard vehicle operation, the integrated charging pad overheats to extreme temperatures. On a recent drive, the heat generated by the vehicle's charging pad was so intense that it physically melted, blistered, and deformed a MagSafe-compatible protective case on a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. This safety issue has been brought to an authorized dealership, Toyota of Hollywood (Repair Order #[XXX]), for a second consecutive time. The dealership officially documented the property damage in writing on the invoice, stating: 'Phone got melted from how hot it gets.' However, they refused to perform repairs or disable the system, explicitly noting: 'Vehicle was compared to another and both doing the same.' By admitting that multiple new vehicles exhibit this exact overheating behavior, the manufacturer is confirming a systemic and unaddressed design or manufacturing defect. An in-dash electrical component capable of melting plastic poses an immediate cabin fire hazard, risks triggering thermal runaway in the mobile device's lithium-ion battery, and directly threatens occupant safety. Toyota Corporate has opened Case #[XXX], but no remedy or safety recall has been provided." INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

    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!

    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

    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.

    I have experienced a severe hesitation or delay in acceleration when accelerating from a stop or near-stop condition. While the issue has only occurred a few times over the past several months, on multiple occasions it happened while merging into traffic and nearly resulted in an accident. Toyota has issued Technical Service Bulletin (TSB-0032-26) addressing this condition. However, when I brought my vehicle to the dealership, Toyota documented that they were unable to reproduce or confirm the hesitation, and no repair was performed. This defect presents a significant safety risk. Unexpected loss of acceleration during traffic merges, intersections, or other situations requiring immediate power can place drivers and passengers in danger and could lead to serious injury or death. Given the safety implications and the fact that the remedy appears to be a software update requiring less than an hour to perform, I believe this issue warrants a formal safety recall rather than a voluntary Technical Service Bulletin. I urge NHTSA to investigate this matter and require Toyota to provide a recall remedy for all affected vehicles.
