| Description of the problem | Within a year or two of purchasing this 2010 toyota tundra i noticed erratic and unpredictable acceleration characteristics when accelerating to pass and when the cruise control was engaged going up hills. The speed would increase more than necessary to accomplish the task. I decided this behavior was a personality trait of the tundra as it never caused an unsafe situation to occur. Over the last two years i have noticed a hesitation of acceleration from stopped. I can depress the accelerator pedal and the engine sounds like it wants to go but acceleration is very lethargic. Response to accelerator pedal depression is unpredictable in that at intermittent times it just does not cause much acceleration. The tendency is to then press further down on the accelerator pedal and then the truck will eventually take off rather fast. I have not yet visited my toyota dealership about this but i do intend to. I believe that the acceleration issue in the toyota tundra is perplexing and dangerous. Somebody is going to be seriously hurt because of it. I am amazed that toyota has not been held accountable. I am skeptical about toyota's ability or interest in fixing the problem. |
