The 2025TOYOTATUNDRA carries 157 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 8 crashes, 0 fires, 8 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall 5/5 rating, with 5/5 front crash, 5/5 side crash, and 4/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2025 TUNDRA is engine with 33 filings, followed by power train (24) and fuel/propulsion system (19). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 3 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 51 investigation files overlapping the 2025 TUNDRA, and 1 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

All four tires are wearing unevenly. The outside of the tires are worn down much more than the middle and inside edge of tires. I noticed this six months ago, have called Toyota and brought the truck to the dealership and they stated there is no issue. I had the exact same Make/Model/Trim (3rd Generation Tundra TRD Pro) from 2022, and the tires wore out in the exact same manner. A safety recall was issued for this and all four tires were replaced and the alignment was adjusted to a "new standard" because it was determined that on this trim level, the original factory alignment was incorrect. This issue still hasn't been resolved as it is happening the exact same on the 2025 as it did on previous model years of the same trim. Toyota and dealership both refuse to even consider that this may be the same issue requiring a recall and replacement of tires and proper alignment. An internet search and an NHTSA search on this issue shows multiple instances of this complaint and nothing

Complete engine failure on 2025 Tundra. Left me stranded on the side of the highway.
This is a known issue on previous year vehicles. Gas pedal response is delayed excessively causing scenarios where one could become injured if attempting to pull out from a full stop or rolling stop expecting the vehicle to move and it doesnât. Reference Toyota TSB-0111-22 for vehicle hesitation while accelerating. Brought my vehicle into a Toyota dealer in Scranton PA on 12/16/2025 with this info and they were unable to duplicate the issue along with stating that TSB does not apply to this year vehicle. Look online there are tons of forums stating this issue is still present in the newer year models like mine which is a 2025. This is a serious problem as itâs happened at random with no clear reasoning other than potential programming issue between the transmission and gas pedal coding.
Vehicle: 2025 Toyota Tundra Component/System: Powertrain / Electronic Throttle Control / Transmission Response Complaint Description: I am reporting a serious safety defect involving delayed and inconsistent acceleration from a stop or low speed. What failed or malfunctioned: The vehicle exhibits a significant delay in throttle response. The electronic throttle and/or transmission fails to deliver engine power when the accelerator is pressed. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: This failure creates a hazardous condition when entering intersections, turning across traffic, or merging. On multiple occasions, the truck failed to accelerate when commanded. In one incident, I pressed the accelerator approximately 75% and the vehicle did not respond for 2â3 seconds, nearly resulting in a collision. Reproduction/confirmation: The issue has occurred multiple times under normal driving conditions from a stop or slow roll. It is intermittent and unpredictabl
After dinner at a restaurant I went to pull out from the parking lot onto a road with a 40 mph speed limit. When I pressed the accelerator to turn, my truck felt like it was in a high gear and just barely moved forward. I let off the gas pedal and pressed again and the same thing. At this point I am drifting into on coming traffic without power. I hit the brake, moved to park, moved the setting to SPORT and then moved back into drive and only then was able to operated the vehicle properly and safely. Fortunately the person on the road did stop and did not hit me, but this is a VERY DANGEROUS situation and something is clearly not working properly.
