Cherokee County Toyota sold me a truck that has consistently had recalls. Brake lights not working, back up camera not working, media console not working, evaportating coolant. I took it to Cherokee County Toyota several times with zero issues resolved. I then left them a negative review on google due to their lack of professionalism and honesty. They then sent me a text stating they refused to fix any of the safety recalls at their dealership due to the negative google review that they fully deserved. A vehicle without brake lights and cameras is a safety hazard. I explained that my children ride in this vehicle and it put my whole family at risk and they needed to service it. They still refused. Multiple calls to service managers, sales manager. Nobody ever called me back.This dealership should not be allowed to sell vehicles that have known consistent safety issues and then refuse to fix them.

Throttle lag truck stalls out when you try to go from a stop. It will cause an accident if this is not fixed. Also engines keep blowing up with out the hybrid system your truck will not have any port to get over to a safe spot on the road. Toyota is replacing engines but the ones they are putting in the trucks are the same ones that are failing.

Several times when accelerating around traffic or cutting across the highway to work I have been nearly t boned when I'll step on the gas and the truck hesitates or does nothing. It usually hesitates for 3 to 5 seconds and then starts spinning tires or other times it will just start lightly accelerating no matter how much gas I give it. It's dangerous because the vehicle is so unpredictable and will eventually result in an accident.

When trying to pull out into traffic from a stop there is a hesitation at times. I go to press on the accelerator and the truck does not always move. There seems to be a delay at times. Seem dangerous when pulling out into traffic. It has happened multiple times. No sure if it is the transmission or what.

I continuously experience throttle delay when accelerating from a stop. This has almost led to being hit several times when pulling out into an intersection. This seems to be a common issue for newer Tundras

Throttle hesitation from stop. Delay in acceleration poses a safety risk when driving.

I’ve noticed that my Toyota Tundra occasionally fails to start moving from a complete stop at a light or stop sign and hesitates. I’ve pressed the gas pedal all the way down, but it doesn’t respond. It usually takes a second attempt before it will move from a stopped position. This first happened during my first week of owning the truck and has occurred a few more times since. I didn’t think much of it at first, but it happened again while I was stopped on an incline in a right-turn yield lane. I released the brake, and when I pressed the gas pedal, nothing happened—the truck even felt like it was rolling backward. I floored the gas, and after a few seconds, it finally took off. I started looking online and found that many others have reported the same issue. There’s even a YouTube video from someone who experienced it: [XXX] I plan to take the truck to the dealership to have it checked out, but this definitely feels like a significant safety concern. I’ve made no modifications to the truck; it’s completely stock with no tuners or aftermarket adjustments. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle does not predictably respond to throttle inputs (if it responds at all), when you come off the brake pedal it will begin rolling at "idle" speed as normal but when you begin to increase throttle input NOTHING will happen for several very important seconds as you roll into an intersection or need the vehicle to accelerate to maneuver. This had happened multiple times before scheduling service appointments. The day BEFORE my appointment while trying to make a right hand turn from EB 13st St in Lemont IL to SB Bell Rd, i had stopped for the red light, verified clearance to make the turn, and began my maneuver. Once I came off the brake pedal the vehicle began to roll into the intersection but as I began to turn the vehicle and try to accelerate though the turn it did not respond WHATSOEVER. I desperately tried to roll my vehicle into the ditch to make space the incoming vehicles to minimize danger, but had no power to do so and was violently T-boned. The vehicle was brought to the dealer for their analysis, the service manager initially claimed "I know exactly what it is" and continued to ask questions that prompted previous knowledge of this issue including what speeds and conditions it will occur at.. two weeks later the vehicle is "ready" and the manager claims the "eprom" had 2 pages of codes in it and that "got rid of the hesitation" I take him for a test drive with me and was able to recreate the issue a few times at which point he said "i understand your frustration with the truck but its a GOOD TRUCK" I drove the truck a few days and continued to experience dangerous and unpredictable delays in throttle response, one of which almost caused me to be rear-ended by a semi while merging from IL-rt83 onto I-55 nb The vehicle has been left behind on a family road trip as it is not safe enough for my family. In hind sight I wish I had the opportunity to submit it to NHTSA for examination after the crash rather than than Toyota. PLEASE DO SOMeTHING
