Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Continue getting a 1-2 second delay when accelerating from a dead stop after pushing on gas pedal with normal acceleration- not just an “lead foot” acceleration trying to quickly clear my intersection & merge into traffic. Happens when engine is at normal operating system or just pulling out of my neighborhood onto a 45mph road on a normal temp day.”
NHTSA complaint #11711326, filed 2026-01“When accelerating from a standstill, the car hesitates for 1 to 2 seconds after I press the accelerator pedal. This is a safety concern, especially when merging onto the highway (we have stoplight-controlled merge lanes where I live), where accelerating the vehicle is essential to a safe merge into traffic going 65+ mph. There have been no warning lamps.”
NHTSA complaint #11711331, filed 2026-01“Making a right turn from a stop. I pressed the accelerator and the vehicle barely moved. Cars were coming in my direction and I had to move. I let off the accelerator quickly pressed the accelerator again. The vehicle did start moving at normal rate. This first attempt was very concerning and almost caused me to get in an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #11701530, filed 2025-11“Throttle lag. When I step on the gas pedal, there is a hesitation or lag which the truck doesn't move forward when asked. Very, very dangerous when entering traffic. Almost caused an accident. Not good. This must be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed. This is no joke and should be taken seriously. I hope this doesn't get ignored as this is a serious problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11653007, filed 2025-04“When coming to a rolling or quick stop and then attempting to maneuver across traffic, my truck hesitates for about a full second before accelerating. This delay can create a dangerous situation for myself, other drivers, and pedestrians. I believe this is a safety issue that Toyota needs to address promptly.”
