    Hard to describe the issue I am having - and I have had this from day one on my 2018 Tundra SRT. When I am in stop and go traffic or at a red light. I come to a stop and very slowly and slightly, without the truck increasing in RPM's, the truck starts to very slowly creep forward. It happens frequently when its a long light and there for 45 seconds or more and since I have been driving trucks for over 40 years and NEVER have experienced this in any car or truck ever. Its almost like I am taking my foot of the brake pedal or if I am that the brake system needs way more force than I have ever had to use to keep a vehicle from not moving. When I have had the truck in for service I always mention it and am told that there is not a problem. I have had others drive my truck....say over a weekend and they have experienced the same issue and just thought they really needed to mash the pedal down.

    Any one have a similar experience? There will be a day where I creep into the back of the vehicle in front of me

    Okay, maybe I'm not crazy (up for debate). I've experienced the same thing with my 21 DC. I am new to Tundras and thought I just needed more pressure on the pedal. Interested to hear if there is in fact something out of adjustment or if this is a 'feature' of a 2.5 Gen Tundra.

    HAHA I thought I was the only one!!! The first year I had my truck I scared myself a few times. Almost hit the person in front of me because of this exact thing. Cant be a coincidence, must be a Tundra thing.

    I occasionally will feel it creep but I catch it right away and just push a little harder. I was thinking I was just not paying attention and letting off a little but now I will be watching more. I have had mine 6 years and really it has only been a handful of times I have caught it doing that. I have a 2018 Platinum FWIIW

    Mentioned above the RPMs aren't rising so a bit of a long shot, but the first thing that came to mind was the AC Idle up in the middle of the stop. Assuming the AC is on, turning it off, see if you get the same forward creep.

    Our 4th Gen 4R does the above, but only when the AC is on. You can see the RPM go up a bit in that case however.

    Mine does the same thing, first time I drove it I figured it was just needing more brake pedal than my other vehicles (all standard transmissions, so not really a thing anyway). Got used to it and haven't thought about it since.

    Too many, but not enough....
    I have experienced this as well. This brake pedal has a really narrow engagement window, i just learned to press harder and further and havent had an issue after.

    If it's a long light, I normally bump it to neutral.
