Owners of the 2024 and 2025 Toyota Tundra are reporting troubling issues with the truck’s 10-speed automatic transmission. Complaints describe hesitation during shifting, delayed or harsh gear changes, jerking, unintended acceleration, unusual transmission noise, and torque delivery problems.
For many drivers, these symptoms appear at low mileage and often occur in everyday driving.
What is Happening with Tundra Engines?
Owners describe a consistent pattern of transmission-related issues, including:
Hesitation during acceleration or while merging
Delayed or harsh gear changes
Jerking or lurching when shifting gears
Unintended acceleration from a stop
Transmission noise or clunking sounds
Torque delivery issues that make the truck feel sluggish or unpredictable
In some cases, the hesitation is so severe that drivers feel unsafe pulling into traffic or attempting to pass on the highway. Others report sudden surges that make it difficult to maintain control of the vehicle.

Owner Experiences
“I pressed the gas at a green light, but there was a long hesitation before the truck moved. It felt unsafe with cars coming up behind me.”
“While trying to merge onto the highway, the transmission lagged, then jerked into gear. The sudden lurch was startling and dangerous.”
“My 2025 Tundra hesitates from a complete stop, then surges forward without warning. It makes driving in traffic stressful.”
“There is a clunking sound when shifting and a noticeable delay before the power engages. It does not feel like a new truck should.”
What Dealers and Toyota Are Saying
Some dealerships have acknowledged transmission complaints but have not provided clear solutions. Reports suggest that service departments may perform software updates or recommend monitoring the issue, but owners continue to experience the same problems.
In several cases, Toyota has not confirmed a permanent fix. This leaves drivers uncertain about whether their trucks are safe and reliable for daily use.
