Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I bought the truck brand new in July 2022. May 2, 2026 I hit 46,461 miles and started hearing a clanking sound and caused vibration in low speeds. After 30 MPH the vibration went away. I took it straight to Toyota dealer and with hardly any questions asked they are rebuilding the whole engine and still have it since today May 29,2026.”
NHTSA complaint #11740964, filed 2026-05“Engine locked up on the highway at 70mph. It’s Known issue but as it’s a hybrid they said no recall. It makes no sense as I lost power and if I was passing a semi or on a hill I would have been in trouble and risked causing an accident. I was lucky to be on a downhill and near a ramp. The hybrids need to be recalled and this problem creates a real risk.”
NHTSA complaint #11701508, filed 2025-11“When trying to accelerate from a stop this truck lags and hesitates to the point of stalling almost when pulling into or crossing traffic. I have been in many near miss collisions due to the hesitation and lack of response. This has been going on since I’ve owned the truck in 22 and the dealership failed to address it or even acknowledge it.”
NHTSA complaint #11702748, filed 2025-12“In certain situations when stopping briefly and then accelerating the pedal is dead. For a short amount of time the accelerator does not work and then it launches the truck forward aggressively. There has been a few instances when I am turning left and the truck does not move and I am stuck in the middle of oncoming traffic before the truck suddenly lurches forward.”
NHTSA complaint #11707930, filed 2025-12“This has been an ongoing issue since the vehicle was new. When accelerating from a stop, when I push the gas pedal, there is a hesitation. There is no throttle response that can last up to 2 or 3 seconds which is dangerous. There have been times that I have tried to pull into traffic from a parking lot and the truck will not accelerate then jerks when it finally responds. This happens daily.”
