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 contact owns a 2025 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving 6 MPH and parking the vehicle, the brake pedal was depressed, and the brake lights became inoperable. Additionally, the rear cross traffic warning light was failing. An unknown warning light was illuminated with an audible alert, and the temperature warning light was displayed for a short while before turning off. There was an abnormal plastic burning odor during the failure. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V322000 (Exterior Lighting); and associated the failure with the recall. However, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 238.

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.

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!
