STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE RECALL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA FOR RUSTED FRAME WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD SPRAY IT WITH RUST PROHIBITIVE. I WAS A MECHANIC FOR MANY YEARS AND IF THE FRAME IS NOT STRIPPED DOWN AND SANDBLASTED TO METAL THERE IS NO GUARANTEED METHOD TO STOP THE RUSTING. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE ALL THE FRAMES OTHERWISE IN A FEW YEARS THERE WILL BE MORE BROKEN FRAMES ON THE ROADS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR OFFICE WAS INVOLVED IN THE CLASS ACTION SUITE BUT I AM REASONABLE SURE LAWYERS AND JUDGES NO NOTHING OF MECHANICS OR ENGINEERING. I PLAN OF KEEPING MY TRUCK FOR MANY MORE YEARS AND IF THE FRAME FAILS THEN I WILL GETTING LEGAL COUNSEL FOR A RECOURSE TO SOME ENTITY BE IT GOVERNMENT OR COMMERCIAL. IF YOU ALL TAKE YOUR JOBS SERIOUSLY THAN THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED SOONEST BEFORE TOYOTAS ARE FALLING APART ON THE HIGHWAYS AND KILLING PEOPLE. THEY MADE THE ERROR AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR IT NOT US!!!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS CARRYING AN OLD BATTERY ON THE TRUCK BED AND THE BATTERY LEAKS SO THE FLUID SPILLED OVER MY FUEL TANK AND BURN/CORRODE THE VACUUM AND GAS LINES. I THINK THE FUEL TANK SHOULD BE PROTECTED WITH AN UPPER SKILL PLATE BECAUSE IS A TRUCK AND YOU ALWAYS CARRY DIFFERENT THINGS AND THIS IS KIND OF EXPOSE OR DRAIN HOLES OF THE BED ARE NOT LOCATED PROPERLY, SO THEY WANNA CHARGE ME 2K DLS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A BAD DESIGN PROBLEM.

THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR CORROSION/RUSTED FRAMES ON 2000-2001 TOYOTA TUNDRAS IN WHAT TOYOTA DEFINED AS SEVERE COLD WEATHER STATES. IOWA WAS NOT INCLUDED. WHY? WE HAVE A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH ONLY 120,000+MILES ON IT THAT NOW HAS A RUSTED OUT WHOLE THE SIZE OF MY FIST IN ITS FRAME. I DO NOT HAVE A PHOTO TO ATTACH, BUT CAN GET ONE IF NEED BE. WE'VE TALKED TO THE DEALER AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE LOOKED UP THE VIN AND SAID IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. WHY? IOWA IS A COLD WEATHER STATE! THIS TRUCK CAME THRU PRINCETON IN. HOW COME TOYOTA GETS TO DECIDE WHAT STATES THE RECALL APPLIES TO? ACCORDING TO THE TUNDRA RECALL BLOG, HTTPS://WWW.TUNDRAS.COM/THREADS/2000-TUNDRA-FRAME-REPLACEMENT.7215/, THEY ARE STILL FIXING TRUCKS IN NEW YORK AS OF 2018. DOESN'T IOWA COUNT? HOW MANY OTHER TRUCKS ARE OUT THERE ON OUR HIGHWAYS WITH THE SAME ISSUE? *JS *TT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

SEPT 2014 MY TRUCKS FRAME WAS RECALLED FOR THE RUST PROBLEM. THE FRAME WAS SCALED AND SPRAYED. MILEAGE 134,500. 6/2018 WITH MILEAGE 164,301 DEALER ADVISES ME FRAME IS GETTING RUSTY! I SAID YOU SCALED AND COATED IT IN 2014 ISN'T IT WARRANTED? THERE ANSWER WAS THAT ENDED LAST MONTH. NOW IT'S A YEAR LATER JUNE 2019 IT ONLY HAS 171,000 AND ONLY 36,500 MILES SINCE THE FRAME WAS COATED. THE TOYOTA DEALER FAILED THE NH STATE INSPECTION. I AM VERY UPSET AS I HAVE SPENT OVER $4500 IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS ON OTHER REPAIRS AND ON GONE 8K MILES. I NEVER WOULD HAVE DONE THOSE REPAIRS IF I WAS ADVISE HOW BAD IR HOW FAST THE RUST WAS GOING TO MAKE MY TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WHY DID OTHER TRUCKS GET NEW FRAMES BECAUSE THEY DROVE MORE MILES THEN ME AND HAD THERE FRAMES RUST FASTED. THERE ARE TRUCKS NOW OF THE SAME AGE WITH NEW FRAMES WITH WELL OVER 200K +MILES BECAUSE THERE FRAMES RUSTED FASTER( TIME WISE). THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR THOSE WHO STILL HAVE JUNK FRAMES. ALL THE FRAMED ARE JUNK! BUT MANY GET STUCK WITH THEM BECAUSE IT TOOK LONGER TO RUST TO THE POINT OF FAILER BECAUSE WE DROVE THEM FEWER MILES PER YEAR! MY FRAME HAS FAILED IN THE SAME PLACES AS EVERY FRAME THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED,BUT BECAUSE IT LASTED PAST MAY 2018 MY TRUCK IS JUNK NOW BUT THE PERSON WHO'S FRAME RUSTED OUT BEFORE MAY 18 GETS TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT WITH THERE REPLACEMENT FRAME! HOW IS THIS FAIR???? IF MY FRAME WASN'T SCALED AND COATED IT WOULD HAVE RUSTED BEFORE MAY 2018 AND BEEN REPLACE! THEY JUST MADE IT LAST LONGER TO GET PAST THE MAY 2018 DATE!

POPPING AND SNAPPING WHEN TURNING OR GOING OVER BUMPS IN ROAD LED TO A MECHANICAL INSPECTION. DISCOVERED THE FRAME RIGHT BEHIND BOTH FRONT WHEELS IS RUSTED/ROTTED SUCH THAT HALF OR MORE OF IT IS LITERALLY GONE. THE POPPING/SNAPPING APPARENTLY IS CAUSED BY THE FRAME KINKING AND MOVING AT THE WEAKENED POINT AND FRONT AND BACK SECTIONS CONTACTING EACH OTHER. I FEAR THAT THE FRONT PART OF THE TRUCK FRAME WITH THE WHEELS, ENGINE, AND SUSPENSION ATTACHED COULD BREAK AND CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY.

FRAME RECALL INFERIOR STEEL USED ON THE FRAME HAS LED TO PREMATURE FAILURE AND ROT. TOYOTA APPLIED A SEALANT TO THE FRAME TO ADDRESS THE RUST ISSUE. THE SEALANT WAS ALSO AN INFERIOR PRODUCT AND DID NOT ADHERE TO THE FRAME. BECAUSE TOYOTA CONSIDERED THE RECALL CLOSED THERE WAS NO WARNING TO INDICATE A HAZARD COULD EXIST. A RECALL WILL NOT SHOW UP ON CAR FAX IF THE MANUFACTURER DEEMS THE RECALL IS COMPLETE. TOYOTA'S POSITION THAT ROAD SALT IS THE CAUSE OF THE PREMATURE FRAME ROT IGNORES THESE FACTS.

A FEW YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A USED TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 70K MILES ON IT THINKING I WAS GETTING A RELIABLE VEHICLE WITH LOTS OF LIFE LEFT ON IT. WHAT I GOT WAS THE MOST UNRELIABLE EXPENSIVE PIECE OF CRAP I HAVE EVER OWNED. IT EVEN NEARLY RUINED OUR HONEYMOON. WE TOOK THE TRUCK ON A ROAD TRIP TO SEE THE SOUTHWEST AND KICK OFF OUR MARRIAGE. IT WAS VERY EXCITING THANKS TO TOYOTA. AT THE GRAND CANYON WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF HUNTING DOWN THE LAST OVERPRICED BOTTLE OF POWER STEERING FLUID. RATHER THAN RELAXING AT THE SOUTH RIM I HAD TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO LIMP THE TRUCK TO THE NEAREST SHOP. THAT WAS OVER $1200 OUT OF OUR BUDGET. THE NEXT OBSTACLE WAS EVEN MORE EXCITING. WE DISCOVERED THE BACK TIRES WHERE READY TO FALL OFF AND THE FRONT WHEELS HAD DEVELOPED SOME ISSUE ALSO. SO WE LIMPED THE TRUCK TO ELK CITY OKLAHOMA IN THE MIDST OF TORNADO WARNINGS. WE EVEN GOT TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN A RUN DOWN MOTEL 6. I THINK THEY RENTED ROOMS BY THE HOUR. THAT WAS ANOTHER $1400 OVER OUR BUDGET FOR A TWO DAY STAY IN SCENIC ELK CITY. AT LEAST WE GOT A FREE LOANER FROM THE FOLKS AT SMITH FAMILY NISSAN. IT'S MORE THAN TOYOTA HAS DONE FOR US. I HAD TO DRIVE UP TO KEENE TO JUST GET PUSHED RIGHT OUT THE DOOR POLITELY. THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST SAVED ME THE TRIP BY SIMPLY RETURNING MY EMAIL. WE GOT THE SAME TREATMENT FROM TOYOTA CORP. AND FOR A SOUVENIR WE ARE LEFT WITH A VERY EXPENSIVE PIECE OF SCRAP METAL IN THE DRIVEWAY. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH TOYOTA CHEEPED OUT ON THE STEEL FOR THE FRAME. CHEAP CHINESE STEEL. THE SOLUTION WAS TO SPRAY SOME CHEAP CRAP ON THE FRAME AND COVER UP THE PROBLEM. IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE IT BREAKS IN HALF JUST SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. THANKS TOYOTA FOR ALL THE HELP AND THE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CUSTOMERS. THANKS TO TOYOTA'S PATCH JOB THE FRAME ISSUES DID NOT APPEAR IN A CAR FAX REPORT.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TUNDRA WON'T ACCELERATE AS ENGINE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHICH RESTRICTS SPEED CAPABILITY OF VEHICLE. THIS IS RELATED TO AIR INJECTION PUMP FAILURE AND RELATED ALSO TO AIR SWITCHING VALVES. LIMP MODE ON A TOYOTA RESTRICTS SPEED AT WHICH YOU CAN DRIVE, SHIFTING AND TOP SPEED ARE RESTRICTED. SLOWS TO POINT IF ENTERING HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH SPEED OVER 50 MPH COULD NOT DO IT. TOYOTA IS AWARE AND HAS A CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZTQ BUYING VEHICLE USED NOT AWARE OF THIS OR ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SLOWED TRAFFIC AND CAUSED BACK UP ON THE STREET WAS TRAVELING COULD NIT DO MORE THAN 20-30 MPH ON ROAD POSTED AT 50 MPH. GLAD NOT ENTERING FREEWAY. PLENTY OF U TUBE VIDEOS DETAILING REPAIR AND PROBLEM. THE TOYOTA DOCUMENTATION SAYS 477,000 TUNDRA VEHICLES WERE COVERED BY THIS ENHANCED WARRANTY PROGRAM. PREVIOUS OWNER DID COMPLAIN TO TOYOTA AND HAD COMPUTER REPLACED ON VEHICLE.
