JAN. 2, 2021 DEALER (ADVANTAGE TOYOTA OF VALLEY STREAM) REFUSED TO COMPLETE NHTSA RECALL NO. 19V-741. DEALER STATED THAT THEY DO NOT DO RECALL SERVICE ON WEEKENDS. TOYOTA CORPORATE'S RECALL LETTER STATES THAT A LOANER VEHICLE WOULD BE PROVIDED. ADVANTAGE TOYOTA STATES THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE LOANER VEHICLES, REGARDLESS OF WHAT DAY OR TIME I WOULD BE WILLING TO SCHEDULE THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT. DEALER DID NOT OFFER ANY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS (RIDE HOME, PAID TAXI, ETC.) CONTACTED CORPORATE, ADVISED THAT THE DEALERS ARE PRIVATELY OWNED AND TOYOTA INC IS NEITHER AFFILIATED NOR LIABLE FOR DEALERSHIP ACTIONS. TOYOTA RECOMMENDED THAT I PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE EXPENSES FOR A RENTAL CAR AND REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT AT A LATER DATE. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OF INTEREST TO THE NHTSA THIS EXAMPLE OF TOYOTA'S LACK OF INTEREST TO REMEDY A MANDATED SAFETY RECALL. TOYOTA SENDS MULTIPLE LETTERS INDICATED A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE THEY MANUFACTURED. THEN, DEALERSHIPS MAKE IT DIFFICULT (IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE) TO HAVE THE RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED. TOYOTA THEN EXCUSES ITSELF FROM LIABILITY BY STATING DEALERSHIPS ARE PRIVATELY OWNED. CONVENIENT. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THIS MATTER.

WAS TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RUST WAS SO BAD ON THE FRAME THAT I COULD NOT SAFELY DRIVE IT. WAS INFORMED BY REPAIR SHOP THAT THEY HAVE HAD OVER 20 VEHICLES YEARS 05-06 WITHIN THE LAST YEAR WITH FRAMES FALLING APART LIKE MINE?? WHY HASN'T ANYONE NOTICED THIS OR DONE SOMETHING? THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED KEPT, ALL RECALLS PERFORMED, ALL MAINTENANCE REMAINED UP TO DATE, ONLY 109,000 MILES AND FRAME FALLING APART!! WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA DEALER IN AUGUST AND WAS MADE TO BELIEVE IT WAS ONLY SMALL HOLE.PASSED INSPECTION IN JANUARY 20020. THERE IS NO WAY THIS WAS NOT PRESENT FOR YEARS!!! BUT TOYOTA NEVER MENTIONED UNTIL AUGUST 2020, WHEN THEY SAW SMALL HOLE IN FRAME, BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM ROAD!!! . SO, WHY IS TOYOTA ALLOWING THESE VEHICLES TO CONTINUE TO BE DRIVEN ? WHY ARE THEY NOT MENTIONING FRAME ISSUES? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?? I SEE THAT TOYOTA HAS HAD RECALLS FOR OTHER VEHICLES EXCEPT, BY MY UNDERSTANDING, 05-06 TOYOTA TUNDRAS, FOR FRAME REPLACEMENT! ALL THE PICTURES I VIEWED ONLINE OF OTHER SIMILAR FRAME ISSUES ON THESE MODELS MATCHED MINE EXACTLY! SO, THERE'S A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE! PLEASE HELP!

NOW, THE REAR AXLE HAS STARTED LEAKING DUE TO A RUSTED OUT REAR AXLE HOUSING.I AM A 64 YR OLD VET AND AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. IF I FILL UP THE REAR AXLE IT WILL GET ON THE ROAD AND TIRES I HAVE CALLED AND EMAILED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME TO FIX IT AT MY EXPENSE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HARD STARTING ISSUE ON COLD START DUE TO FUEL PUMP/ECU FLEX FUEL ISSUE FFV ENGINE 3UR-FBE. DATA SHOWS READING FUEL ALCOHOL CONTENT @ 56% EVEN THOUGH I'VE NEVER RUN ETHANOL... THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM ID ON MANY TUNDRA THREADS ONLINE. IN ADDITION TO INCREASED ENGINE WEAR ON STARTS, FUEL ECONOMY IS REDUCED BECAUSE ENGINE IS MAPPED TO ETHANOL BASED FUEL INSTEAD OF STANDARD GASOLINE FUEL MAPPING.

CHASSIS RUST AND HOLES IN THE FRAME. OBVIOUSLY LARGE RUST HOLES IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FRAME BEHIND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. FRAME HOLES CAUSE GREAT CONCERN FOR THE OVERALL OPERATIONAL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. I CONSIDER THIS DEGREE OF RUST DEGRADATION EXCESSIVE AND A CRAFTSMANSHIP DEFECT. HEAVY STEEL VEHICLE FRAMES SHULD NOT EXHIBIT RUST HOLES TO THIS DEGREE. UPON RECALL NOTICE AND INSPECTION BY TOYOTA, THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A CNC UNDERCOAT TO MUCH OF THE CHASSIS/FRAME AS A MEASURE TO PREVENT FURTHER/FUTURE RUST FORMATION. OBVIOUSLY, THE UNDERCOAT WAS INSUFFICIENT AT PREVENTING FURTHER RUST FORMATION ON THIS PART OF THE FRAME. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE RUST HOLES APPEARED. I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE WHEN ANSWERING THE QUESTION OF "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN", BUT IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THE RUST FORMATION HAS BEEN IN EXISTANCE FOR MANY MONTHS TO YEARS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
TURNED HEADLIGHT SWITCH TO "ON" POSITION BUT LIGHTS DID NOT TURN ON. TURNED SWITCH "OFF" AND BACK "ON" AND LIGHTS STILL DID NOT WORK. WIGGLED THE SWITCH AROUND SOME AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. TRUCK WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING ONE NIGHT AND TURNED MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL ON AND THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO WIGGLE THE SWITCH AROUND AND GET THEM TO COME BACK ON TO MAKE THE TURN. WHEN I PARKED I TURNED THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL ON AND THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN. IT SEEMS THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE IN THE SWITCH.
