TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
LOW MILEAGE, TWO YEAR OLD FRONT TIRES BEGINNING TO SEPARATE AT INNER SIDEWALLS, MAKING VIBRATIONS ABOVE 50+ MPH AND SHAKING VEHICLE SO BAD ALMOST UNDRIVEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALIGNMENT SHOP SAID GET THEM CHECKED. RE-BALANCING TIRES HAD NO EFFECT, MOVED FRONT TIRES TO REAR THEN BED OF TRUCK WOULD VIBRATE AT SPEED. REPLACE THE 2 TIRES IN QUESTION AND PROBLEM RESOLVED. HAD TIRE SHOP LOOK AT THE TIRES AND THEY FOUND TREAD SEPARATION AT INNER SIDEWALLS OF BOTH SUSPECT TIRES. CALLED MANUFACTURED FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OR REFUND AND THEY NEEDED A RMA FORM FILLED OUT BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO SELLS THIS BRAND OF TIRE BEFORE A RETURN COULD BE ACCEPTED. ORIGINAL PURCHASE WAS ONLINE FROM WALMART FOR PICKUP AT LOCAL STORE. WALMART HAD NO RECORD OF THE TIRE SELLER WHO SUPPLIED ONLINE WALMART SALES. MANUFACTURER REFERRED ME TO A 'DISCOUNT TIRE' STORE LOCALLY THAT MANUFACTURER HAD PREVIOUS CONTACT WITH AND DEALT IN THIS BRAND OF TIRE. CONTACTED THE SUGGESTED STORE AND SALESMAN NEEDED TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER FIRST TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. AFTER A CALLBACK FROM STORE, SALESMAN TRIED TO DIAGNOSIS THE TIRE PROBLEM OVER THE PHONE WITHOUT ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE TIRES AND SAID TIRES WERE PROBABLY OUT OF ROUND. I HAVE THE TWO TIRES AND STILL PONDERING FOR A SOLUTION.

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON JANUARY 10 2020 MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA BROKE DOWN. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IT WAS AROUND 4:45PM WHEN I HEARD A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM MY DRIVERS BACK TIRE, I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED OUT UNDERNEATH AND MY TIRES DID NOT SEE ANYTHING GOT BACK IN VEHICLE AND BACKED IT UP TO A SIDE STREET IT MADE THE CLUNKING NOISE. I CALLED MY HUSBAND HE CAME OUT AND CHECKED THE TRUCK OUT TOO COULDN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. SO WE HAD IT TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ( WE HAVE TOWING SERVICE PLUS WE BOUGHT A EXTENDED WARRANTY) SINCE IT WAS PASS 5 PM THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T LOOK AT THE TRUCK TILL THE NEXT DAY. WHEN THEY GAVE ME A CALL THEY TOLD ME THAT MY SWAY BAR BROKE AND THE CLUNKING NOISE WAS MY BRAKE DRUM AND PAD IT WAS SO RUSTED IT BUSTED IN PIECES. HE ALSO SAID THATS NOT THE REAL CONCERN & ISSUE HE TOLD ME THAT MY WHOLE FRAME WAS VERY RUSTED & CORROSION HE STATED THAT MY TRUCK WAS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER WORK I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS IN COMPLETE SHOCK THE FRAME WAS SO BAD SOME PARTS OF IT YOU COULD PUT YOUR FINGER RIGHT THROUGH IT. LATER WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND READ ABOUT TOYOTA TUNDRA RECALL ON FRAMES. WE ALSO WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD THE TRUCK TO US. THEY WERE NO HELP. WE ARE ASKING FOR HELP. I'M THE MAIN DRIVER AND I LOVE THIS TRUCK PAID GOOD MONEY AND STILL PAYING. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS TRUCK MISSED THE RECALL IN THE PASS. THE TRUCK IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE BODY AND INTERIOR. IT ONLY HAD 91,000 WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. DO WE FALL UNDER THE RECALL? PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO. THANK YOU.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A NOTIFICATION FOR NO TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO GO OVER 50MPH, AND STRUGGLED TO GO UP HILLS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S THE AIR INJECTION VALVES. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE PARTS AND FOUND THAT IT IS COMMON FOR THEM TO GO BAD, AND THAT TOYOTA HAS PUT OUT A MEMO STATING THAT IT WOULD BE A COVERED REPAIR FOR VEHICLES UP TO THE 2010 MODELS WITH UP TO 150,000 MILES. IN MY RESEARCH I FOUND THAT IT STILL CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE EVEN IN LATER MODELS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA THAT IF THEY KNOW THIS IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE THAT THEY SHOULD RECALL THE PART. SINCE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH LIMITED POWER I HAD TO USE MY HAZARD LIGHTS UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION.
