WHEELS
MY TIRES WERE ROTATED BY DISCOUNT TIRES (3836 PLAZA DR., OCNSD, CA). THEY DID NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE LUGS ON MY RIGHT DRIVER SIDE TIRE AND IT FLEW OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND BADLY DAMAGED MY CAR. THEY ARE DENYING ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND ASSUME THAT THE LUGS ARE EITHER TIGHTENED FULLY OR NOT AT ALL. I LOCATED ALL THE LUGS AND ONLY ONE SHEARED OFF THE STUFF. ALSO THE SAFETY STUD WAS NOT TIGHTENED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY TRAIN THEY EMPLOYEES FOR PROPER AND SAFE TIRE ROTATION. ALSO PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANY OTHER AGENCY THAT OVERSEES TIRE ROTATION BUSINESSES. THANK YOU.

MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME ON LAST VISIT TO SHOP, W/ MY 2000 TUNDRA, THAT THE FRAME WAS SERIOUSLY RUSTED. BUT, I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW SERIOUS IT WAS UNTIL...DUE TO BLACK ICE....MY TRUCK ENDED UP IN THE DITCH (12/4) AND HAD TO HAVE A THE LOCAL TOWING COMPANY TOW IT HOME. JEFF HILL, THE OWNER-WHO ALSO RUNS A BODY SHOP-INFORMED ME, AFTER LOOKING AT UNDERSIDE OF MY TRUCK....NOT TO DRIVE IT AND THAT DUE TO DAMAGE OF FRAME----RUSTED OUT----HE ADVISED THAT I NOT PUT ANY MORE $$$ INTO IT. AFTER GETTING IT HOME WE LOOKED UP UNDER TRUCK AND COULD VISIBLY SEE HOW SERIOUSLY RUSTED IT WAS. AND, DUE TO THE RUST, THE IMPACT OF MY ACCIDENT ACTUALLY BROKE THE FRAME....SO NOW IT IS COMPLETELY UNDRIVABLE AND BASICALLY TOTALED. I HAD A MAN, DON YATES, WHO OWNS/OPERATES A LOCAL WELDING SHOP, STOP BY AND INSPECT IT. HE GAVE ME A QUOTE OF AT LEAST $1400 TO HAVE FRAME REPAIRED. MY INTENTION WAS TO REPLACE THE BROKEN WINDOW AND MIRROR-DAMAGE FROM HITTING THE DITCH-AND KEEP ON DRIVING IT TILL SHE WOULDN'T GO ANYMORE. THE MOTOR AND TRANEY ARE STILL GOOD...ALTHOUGH THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF MILES ON THEM. THE POLICE ACCIDENT REPORT STATES OVER $1,500 WORTH OF DAMAGE AND I HAVE TAKEN PICS OF THE RUST. I HAD JUST PURCHASED NEW TIRES FOR IT...THEY ARE STILL SITTING AT TIRE SHOP WAITING ON ME. I AM WONDERING IF I CAN STILL GET IN ON THE CLASS ACTION SUIT OR IF THERE IS ANY WAY OF GETTING ANY HELP W MY PROBLEM??? PLEASE. ANY RECOURSE?? DUE TO MY TRUCK FRAME BEING BROKEN... I WAS FORCED TO TRADE IN MY CAR TO ENABLE ME TO BUY ANOTHER TRUCK-TOYOTA OF COURSE. SO, NOW MY PAYMENTS ARE ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT I HAD ON CAR. WHICH..I COULD NOT AFFORD, BUT, I WORK OUT IN THE BOONIES AND MUST HAVE A TRUCK TO GET THERE. I HAVE PICS ON MY PHONE BUT AM UNABLE TO GET THEM UPLOADED TO MY COMP. I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS FIGURED OUT SOON. MAY I SEND THEM LATER???

LOSS OF DYNAMIC RADAR-CONTROLLED CRUISE CONTROL: CLEAN SENSOR, ONCE ON CITY STREET, THEN I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT CLEARED ITSELF, THEN A FEW MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. IT CAME BACK ON. I CHECKED MY VIN# AND MY TRUCK IS NOT LISTED FOR THE SAME RECALL THAT I HAVE SEEN OTHERS GET.

THE BOTTOM CORNERS OF BOTH DOORS COME TO A VERY SHARP POINT. BOTH OF US HAVE SUSTAINED NASTY CUTS ON OUR SHINS WHEN GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES. THERE SHOULD BE A DIFFERENT DESIGN TO REMOVE THE SHARP POINTS YOU CAN'T AVOID IT AT LEAST PUT DURABLE PROTECTION OVER THE SHARP EDGE.

VEHICLE FRAME HAS SUFFICIENT RUST INCLUDING HOLES IN THE FRAME. THERE WERE TWO RECALLS DEALING WITH THIS RUST ISSUE, NEITHER FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE FOR TOYOTA INCLUDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS - BUT THOSE DIDN'T INCLUDE 2001 TUNDRA. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED NEW, THE DEALERSHIP THAT UNDERCOATED OVER TOP OF THE RUST (SECOND RECALL - HAD THERE BEEN HOLES IN THE FRAME 10MM OR LARGE, THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE FRAME AT THAT TIME. BUT THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO BEAD BLAST OR WIRE BRUSH WHICH MOST LIKELY WERE HAVE PRODUCTS SEVERAL HOLE GREATER THEN 10MM), AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS. BECAUSE THE RECALLS WERE CLOSED, THEY ALL SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY ARE WILLING TO DO. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND FRAME REPLACEMENT IS ESTIMATED TO BE $15,000 WHICH IS MORE THEN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. I ALSO DON'T WANT TO SELL A VEHICLE THAT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE.

MY TRUCK'S FRAME HAS LARGE, MAJOR RUST PERFORATION HOLES ALL OVER THE FRAME AND WILL SOON NEED REPLACEMENT. I FEEL THAT THIS WILL SOON BE A SAFETY FACTOR, AS THE FRAME IS THE ONLY PART OF THE VEHICLE THAT HOLDS THE TRUCK IN ONE PIECE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I'M AFRAID MY FRAME WILL NOT PROTECT ME IN A COLLISION AND THAT MY TRUCK MAY SNAP IN HALF DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. TOYOTA CORPORATE HAD ME IMMEDIATELY BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A FRAME INSPECTION AND THE RUST PERFORATION WAS NOTED AND VERIFIED, BUT TOYOTA CORPORATE WILL NOT REPLACE MY FRAME BECAUSE THE AREAS SPECIFIED IN THEIR CURRENT OPEN RECALLS AREN'T AS RUSTED AS WHAT WOULD BE NORMALLY DEEMED QUALIFIED FOR FRAME REPLACEMENT. THE CONDITION OF MY FRAME IS TERRIBLE AND MAY BE CONSIDERED MORE DANGEROUS SOON, COMPARED TO WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO THE FRAME CONCERNS OF THE CURRENT RECALLS.

TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON THE TRUCK FRAME THAT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 70000 MILES ON IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US TO CALL TOYOTA. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND OPENED A CLAIM AND THEY TOLD US THERE NOT DOING ANYTHING AT THIS TIME FOR THAT RECALL. THE WHOLE FRAME IS ROTTEN AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WE'VE DONE ALL THE RECALLS THEY HAD FOR THE FRAME AND IT STILL ROTTED OUT. NOT SURE HOW I CAN GET THIS RESOLVED WITH TOYOTA. THE FRAME SNAPPED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. THE FRAME SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN.

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING A RECENT SAFETY ISSUE MY PARENTS EXPERIENCED. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED: DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH, MY DAD WENT TO ADJUST HIS OUTSIDE MIRRORS. WHEN DOING SO, HIS FINGER BRUSHED THE "FOLD" BUTTON BY ACCIDENT, AND THE OUTDOOR SIDE MIRRORS FOLDED IN. HE WASN'T AWARE THAT HE TOUCHED THE BUTTON AS HE HAS NEVER USED THIS FEATURE IN THE PAST. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY ARE NOW DRIVING 70 MPH IN A VERY LARGE TRUCK AND DO NOT HAVE A CLEAR SAFE VIEW AS THEY HAVE TO CHANGE 4 LANES TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND THEN NAVIGATE TO A SAFE AREA TO TRY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION HAS BEEN COPIED AND PASTED FROM THE OWNER'S MANUAL. " WHEN YOU ARE HEADING INTO A NARROW PARKING SPACE OR GARAGE, PRESS THE "FOLD" BUTTON IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THE SIDE MIRROR CONTROLS, JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. BOTH MIRRORS WILL FOLD IN TOWARD THE SIDE WINDOWS. TO PUT THEM BACK INTO DRIVING POSITION, PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN." IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS FEATURE IS DANGEROUS. THE FEATURE SHOULD ONLY OPERATE AT AN EXTREMELY SLOW RATE OF TRAVEL. THIS FEATURE IS ONLY NEEDED IN TIGHT PARKING SPOTS AND SHOULD NOT ENGAGE AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. THE OWNERS MANUAL EVEN STATES NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE MIRRORS FOLDED. BUT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW THEY WERE ENGAGED, HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW TO RECTIFY IT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH? IT IS AN ACCIDENT AND A LAWSUIT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I NOTICED A RATTLING COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. I STOPPED TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND A BROKEN LEAF SPRING RUBBING AGAINST THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY IT MAY HAVE CAUSE THE TIRE TO POP. THERE ARE MULTIPLE POSTS DETAILING THE SAME BREAK OF THE LEAF SPRING AND THE RESULTING TIRE DAMAGE ON THE INTERNET.

THE PRECOLLISION WARNIG SYSTEM KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING FOR NO REASON. I HAVE THEM REPLACE 3 SENSORS, WINDSHIELD CAMERA AND FULL SAFETY HARNESSES ALREADY. HUNDREDS F OTHERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. EVEN THE REGIONAL TECH FOR TOYOTA HAS GIVEN UP AND TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA CORPORATE. BUT CORPORATE SAYS IT DOESN'T EFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK WHEN IT'S MALFUNCTIONING, MEANING SOMEONE WILL GET HIT WITHOUT THE SAFETY SYSTEM ENGAGING. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME SUNNY DAY, RAINING, HOT OR COLD. BEEN HAPPENING SINCE JUNE IN FIRST 1000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP

POWER TRAIN
A GRINDING NOISE BEGAN TO DEVELOP IN THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK. THE NOISE WAS MOST NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 30 AND 60 MPH. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY DETERMINED THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS HAD FAILED. THESE BEARINGS ARE SEALED, REQUIRE NO MAINTENANCE, AND SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE A BEARING FAILURE COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND A NUMBER OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS REPORTED ON INTERNET TUNDRA FORUMS, WHICH INDICATES THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM.
