Brand new truck - less than a week, made it to 500 miles with a road trip. Yesterday driving home from work going roughly 25mph, I heard a loud bang as if a firearm went of in the cab of the truck. It was extremely loud, and very startling to my core. The fixed portion of the sunroof over the back seat shattered out of nowhere. In my opinion it was installed under unknown torque compression stress, and the back portion of the sunroof shattered with an explosion effect as a result.

While driving today, the sunroof spontaneously exploded. It exploded up and outward. There were no other cars/trucks nearby. I have never heard anything hit the sunroof before either. The truck is 3 weeks old and has only 1800 miles on it.

According to Toyota, the 2022-2026 Tundra is compatible with 35x11.5 tires. These tires were installed by the dealer before my purchase. However, during turns, the tires heavily rub against the sway bar. This issue may be specific to the TRD upgrade package, which includes an upgraded, thicker sway bar. After driving for just 500 miles, noticeable rub marks have developed on both sides of the sway bar and visible marks on the inside of the tire. Tire rubbing can lead to faster tire wear and may even cause the tire to break during operation if the damage continues over time. I have reported this to Toyota Customer service and all they say they do is file a report.

The truck, randomly experiences hesitation, and or lag when pulling out from a dead stop. Twice it has been so bad as to nearly cause an accident. It also causes out of control acceleration as you don't know when if if the truck will actually accelerate or how much.

There is an inconsistent lag in the response from the accelerator. It proves to be extremely unsafe when it occurs while trying to join traffic or cross traffic. A few times now this lag has nearly caused an accident where my vehicle would have been t-boned if the oncoming vehicle hadn't slowed down quickly.
