STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
SINCE THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE RUST. IT WAS 2 YES OLD WITH 17,000 MILES ON IT. THE BED AND FRAME ARE BADLY RUSTED. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT FRAME AND THEY APPLIED SOME WEIRD BLACK STUFF. TOTAL NIGHTMARE. THE BED ,EVEN THOUGH I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN THEY SAY TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING AT MORE THEN 5 DEALERSHIP'S SINCE 2009 AND CALLED CORPORATE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE BED IS DANGEROUS AND HAS BEEN. THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE,.AROUND MOUNTING BOLTS, EVENTUALLY BED WILL SEPARATE FROM FRAME. VERY CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WON'T HONOR . NEXT PROBLEM THAT THEY ALSO HAVE AN UPDATED WARRANTY WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT. SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM FAILS ,WHICH IS AN EMISSIONS COMPONENT. CRITICAL TO KEEP EMISSIONS LOW.

TRUCK FRAME IS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2000 TRU 2003 MODEL YEAR. TOYOTA SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED. THERE WAS A SPRAY APPLY PROGRAM BUT IT ENDED IN 2015. I BOUGHT MY USED TRUCK IN 2016 AND I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS EVER SPRAYED.

TRUCK HAS ISSUES WITH DELAYED STARTING. MOTOR WILL TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT START IMMEDIATELY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. HAVE TO TURN ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE SUCCESSFUL START. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP AND THIS COULD BE CRITICAL WHILE DRIVING AS THE PUMP MIGHT FAIL AT SPEED CAUSING COMPLETE POWER LOSS. ISSUE BEGAN ON OR ABOUT 12/03/2018 AND CONTINUES TO PRESENT.

DRIVESHAFT BROKE AT THE REAR YOKE. METALERGICAL FAILURE. TOYOTA HAS HAD MANY SAFETY RECALLS FOR DRIVESHAFT FAILURES, AS OF 12/27/2018 THEY HAVE NOT HAD A RECALL ON 2010 TUNDRAS. TOYOTA CLEARLY HAS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR MANUFACTURE OF DRIVESHAFTS. NEVER IN MY 43 YEARS OF DRIVING HAVE I EVER HAD A DRIVESHAFT BREAK. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK WHEN SHE NOTICED S SERIOUS VIBRATION AND PULLED THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON AN OFF RAMP TO S HIGHWAY. THE DRIVESHAFT HAD BROKEN AND THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID MY TRUCK HAD NO RECALL ON THE DRIVESHAFT DESPITE ALL OF THEIR PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR DRIVESHAFT PROBLEMS

SUSPENSION
THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ON THESE FIRST GENERATION TUNDRAS ARE ALL PRONE TO EARLY FAILURE WHEN USING ANY OTHER BRAND THAN OEM. I HAVE TALKED TO DOZENS OF FIRST GEN OWNERS AND ALL AGREE THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ON THE TRUCKS ARE A HUGE WEAK POINT. I HAD MY DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL COME OFF OF MY TRUCK WHILE TURNING DOWN A STREET IN A BUSY INTERSECTION, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY TUNDRA. THE WHEEL WENT ABOUT 50 FEET AND STOPPED BY COLLIDING WITH A PARKED CAR. THE SUSPENSION OF MY TRUCK ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ROAD.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I HAVE A FIBERGLASS CAP ON THE BED OF MY PICKUP TRUCK. WHEN IT RAINS OR SNOWS, OR DURING ANY INCLEMENT WEATHER, I CAN NOT SEE OUT THE BACK WINDOW OF THE CAP. THERE IS NO WIPER FOR THE BACK WINDOW.. ALL SUV TYPE VEHICLES HAVE A WIPER, BUT NOT TRUCK CAPS. WHY? I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR FMVSS NO. 111, REAR VIEW MIRRORS, STATES THAT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR WINDOW, TO THE HORIZON, CLEARLY. WITHOUT A WIPER THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. WHEN THE CAPS ARE INSTALLED ON THE TRUCKS IT BLOCKS THE UPPER BRAKE LIGHT, AND YOU MADE THE CAP MANUFACTURERS PUT AN UPPER REAR BRAKE LIGHT ON THE BACK OF THE CAPS. SINCE THE CAP MANUFACTURERS ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE RULE, YOU SHOULD FORCE THEM TO INSTALL WIPERS ON ALL THEIR CAPS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I READ ON A MICHELIN WIPER BLADE ADVERTISEMENT THAT 40% OF ALL ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED BY REDUCED VISION. A WIPER SYSTEM IS AVAILABLE ON WWW.TRUCKCAPWIPER.COM.THEY SHOULD BUY THEM THERE AND INSTALL THEM ON ALL CAPS.

JUST HAD TRUCK INSPECTION DONE BY MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THERE IS A PROBLEM STARTING WITH THE FRAME. HE SAID CONTACT TOYOTA THAT THERE WAS A FRAME RECALL. SO I DID THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. ASKED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE IN CHARGE AND GOT A CALL BACK. WAS TOLD MY TRUCK WAS SPRAYED WITH THE ANTI CORROSION SPRAY IN 2014. BUT APPARENTLY IT DIDN'T WORK. WHY DID TOYOTA SKIP CERTAIN YEARS OF THE TUNDRA? TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR SEQUOIA AS MY TUNDRA. THEY HAVE THE SAME FRAME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND AND I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE

MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS 217K MILES AND IS, MECHANICALLY, IN TERRIFIC SHAPE, EXCEPT THE FRAME HAS RUSTED OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. STRUCTURALLY, IT'S STILL DRIVABLE SAFELY, BUT IT WILL NO LONGER PASS STATE INSPECTION (MAINE, USA). THOUSANDS OF OTHER TOYOTA TUNDRAS OF THE SAME STYLE AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND SIMILAR MODEL YEAR HAVE HAD FRAME RECALLS DONE FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS FAIR TO SKIP THIS YEAR. THIS IS MY FAMILY'S ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION RIGHT NOW, AND IT IS VITAL TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. PLEASE ALLOW A FRAME RECALL FOR THIS MODEL YEAR!
