FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2012 Toyota Tundra has a known design flaw in that moisture is allowed to condense, accumulate and corrode in components of the secondary air intake system leading to decrease performance especially in regards to acceleration which is critical to operating a vehicle safely.

Under acceleration the truck hesitates during shifting. Took to dealership and they can’t find anything however it continues intermittently. During speeds on highway it does the same. No codes so the dealership said it would just have to continue until something triggered or became more frequent. To date this continues. Started seeing the random issue around Feb 2021

Well known issue with V8 Air intake pump and assembly causes truck to go into limp mode. Very dangerous in Atlanta traffic. Toyota enhanced warranty but did not recall. My repair was $3000 as I was 3 weeks out of warranty.

SUSPENSION, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I had the dealer take my truck in for the frame recall. I asked for them to replace the frame because I was not comfortable with how they were handling it. Per the service record they filled in perforations and “undercoated. I did not believe that filling in existing perforations was the safest way to handle this. After brining the truck to a shop to check the steering we were told that they wouldn’t even put it up on a lift. The steering issue was that the rack and pinion steering was literally falling out due to the rusted frame. We drove this vehicle home and parked it. About a week later the spare tire fell out right onto our driveway. Needless to say, I am certain there are many more Toyota trucks out there ready to fall apart on the road. We contacted Toyota corporate several times to try to rectify this mishandling of our recall. We called and sent certified letters. We asked to share the cost of a new frame and they said no. We then had the truck towed to a shop who could do the work. They ordered a frame from Toyota only to be contacted 2 months later saying that the frame was discontinued and they wouldn’t be sending it after all (we were willing to pay fir the frame and install because we had a useless and UNSAFE vehicle. We finally found a shop over an hour away who could rebuild/fabricate the frame and replace the fallen out steering etc. we had that truck towed about 60 miles away to have this work completed. This mishandling of the recall by Toyota and their lack of customer care cost me a whopping $17,000! Again, unsafe Tundras out there for sure. Please advise…this is the 2nd time I’ve filled out this form and never heard anything. Thank you in advance.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING
Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) malfunctions sporadically while driving. Warning lights illuminate and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) disengages when activated while driving. The Pre-Collision System (PCS) is turned off and flashes with the following error messages. - Pre-Collision System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer - Auto Headlight System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer - LDA Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer This has happened twice, first right after purchasing the vehicle brand new in 2019 and most recently last week on 5/22/2021. I took the vehicle into the dealer on 5/25/2021 and they seemed aware of this issue, but stated they could not reproduce it and there were no error codes logged. I showed them the video of this happening (link below) while driving through Nevada. I was told the errors will not disable the vehicle or put it into limp mode, but my concern is when this happens while using DRCC, which almost made me drive into the back of a tractor trailer on Interstate 80. The speed limit on I-80 in Nevada is 80 MPH. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WrxgM8SJeB02eO4a6E9tbyCeAr6gRRHs/view?usp=sharing

STEERING
Ever since I got it 2 years ago the steering has not been right with random vibration from the steering wheel to feeling like im trying harder to make it go straight. And also a clunk at low speed turns/ vibration on freeway. I was told the rack was going so I replaced it with new poly bushings and tie rods. Helped a little but no, got new rims and tires and no difference still vibration on freeway. It's weird if I pull down on the steering wheel it makes it less worse. Also it feels like all this is wearing my power steering pump as it's the only thing covered in oil under my hood. I'm. Seriousy scared to drive it on the freeway cause of the over correcting and vibration. I only have 82k on it. When I got it from the dealership nothing was said. I'm the second owner.I still have the original rack but the problem is still there. Service was done by independent shop. Airbag stickers on passenger visor are gone and passenger airbag cover sticks out more the it should I think. I received the car facts from the dealership and nothing is in there for all the recalls. As the website says there are none pending. I would like to get a print out of ALL recall repairs if possible. I still have the car fax from them.
