STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING
MY 2001 TOYOTA TUNDDA WAS PART OF THE FRAME SERVICE CAMPAIGN. UPON RECEIVING NOTICE I IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED AN INSPECTION AND MY FRAME WAS COATED IN THE PROTECTIVE COATING SUPPLIED BY TOYOTA AT THE TOYOTA DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM. IN THE YEARS TO COME THAT COATING WOULD FALL OFF AND MY TRUCK FRAME WOULD CONTINUE TO RUST. IN AUGUST OF 2018 I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHO SAID A HOLE HAS RUSTED IN THE FRAME NEAR THE GAS TANK. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT HER PROBLEM SINCE THE PROGRAM HAD EXPIRED. I RECEIVED THIS SAME INFORMATION FROM THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND TOYOTA CORPORATE. IN ADDITION TO THE HOLE IN THE FRAME BOTH POWER STEERING LINES RUSTED THROUGH AND SO DID THE POWER STEERING RACK. TOYOTA'S ATTEMPT AT FIXING THE PROBLEM FAILED AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH A TRUCK THAT HAS A COMPROMISED FRAME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING MYSELF OR MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE AS IT WON'T BE AS STRONG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND KEEPING THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY RESULT IN FURTHER DETERIORATION OF THE FRAME. TOYOTA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND EITHER BUY THE TRUCK BACK OR FIX THE FRAME AND THEY NEED TO DO THIS FOR AL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING THE THE ROAD ON A CITY STREET WHEN I HEARD A RATTLING SOUND. I CHECKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE WHAT THE NOISE WAS. THE LEFT REAR LEAF SPRING WAS BROKEN WHICH COULD HAVE GONE INTO THE TIRE POSSIBLY CREATING A SITUATION OR AN ACCIDENT. I AM UNSURE WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS. I DID NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES OR LARGE BUMPS IN THE ROAD. I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY WANT OVER $900 FOR A NEW LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY, THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. I HAVE NEVER HAD A LEAF SPRING BREAK IN THE 1997 GMC 1500K PICKUP TRUCK I PREVIOUSLY OWNED FOR 16 YEARS. I HAVE READ OTHER SIMILAR TOYOTA TUNDRA LEAF SPRING BREAK REPORTS ON THE INTERNET. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS WITHOUT CHARGE. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 88,000 MILES ON THE TUNDRA.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE TRAILER BRAKES WILL NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE TRAILER BRAKES WILL NOT LOCK UP EVEN WHEN SET ON 10. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN HAULING ANY TRAILER WITH BREAKS. I HAVE PUT MY OTHER TRUCK TO THE TRAILER AND IT OPERATES GREAT. IT IS ABSOLUTELY THE BREAK CONTROL FROM THE FACTORY NOT THE TRAILER

VEHICLE WAS ON RECALL FOR RUSTED FRAME, TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, FOR 2000-2004 AND 2007 MODELS. WE BROUGHT TRUCK IN, THEY SAID IT WASNT BAD ENOUGH FOR A NEW FRAME, AND DID THE COATING. WE GOT HOME AND SAW THAT THE COATING DIDN'T COVER ALL IT SHOULD HAVE. WE BROUGHT IT BACK A SECOND TIME. APPARENTLY IT WASN'T DONE PROPERLY AS A STABILIZER BAR IS RUSTED CLEAN THROUGH AND IS HANGING ON BY A THREAD. WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED AT A DEALERSHIP. WHAT RECOURSE DO WE HAVE? CAN WE GET THEM TO REPLACE THE FRAME NOW? THEY HAD IT IN THEIR HANDS TWICE AND DIDN'T COAT IT WELL ENOUGH TO KEEP IT SAFE. NOW I NEED A NEW FRAME. OTHERWISE THE TRUCK IS IN GREAT CONDITION, AND WE MAINTAIN IT AND CARE FOR IT PROPERLY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL) WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THROTTLE CONTROL CHANGED. THE TRUCK WOULD RANDOMLY THROTTLE WITHOUT PUSHING ON THE PEDAL. ADDITIONALLY, IF I PUT THE PEDAL DOWN THE TRUCK COULDN'T GET BEYOND 60MPH GOING UP A HILL. HOWEVER, GOING DOWN HILLS THE TRUCK WAS THROTTLING ON ITS OWN AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO ATTAIN A SPEED OF 70MPH EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T ON OR EVEN FUNCTIONING (AT THIS POINT I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY). IF I BRAKED THE THROTTLING WOULD STOP; HOWEVER, WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRUCK WOULD CONTINUE TO THROTTLE. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN WAS RANDOMLY THROTTLING. I DISENGAGED THE BATTERY THINKING THAT POSSIBLY REBOOTING THE TRUCKS COMPUTER WOULD HELP. I STARTED THE TRUCK IN PARK AND IMMEDIATELY THE RPMS INCREASED AS IF SOMEONE HAD THERE FOOT FULLY DECOMPRESSING THE PEDAL. I KNOW TOYOTA HAD RECALLS ON THEIR VEHICLES BUT APPARANTLY NOT ON THE 2014 TUNDRA MODEL. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE TRUCK ISSUE THAT LUCKILY OCCURRED IN A RURAL SETTING. I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR TWO DAYS AND DROVE THE TRUCK AROUND THE 4 MILE BLOCK. INITIALLY THE TRUCK DROVE NORMAL FOR THE FIRST TWO MILES. BY MILE 3 IT WAS UNCONTROLLABLY THROTTLING. THE THROTTLING DID NOT STOP THIS TIME EVEN WHEN HOLDING DOWN THE BRAKES BUT LUCKILY THE BRAKES ARE AT LEAST GOOD ENOUGH TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND VEHICLE LOSE OF POWER. DASHBOARD ALL WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. TURNED OFF VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO RESET. MANAGED TO GET VEHICLE TO NEARBY PARKING LOT AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER TO DRIVE TRAIN. CAUSE WAS POWER STEERING UNIT SENSOR PER TOYOTA. TOYOTA COVERED PART IN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT THIS COMPLAINT. FROM INTERNET, "SOME 2007-2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE POWER STEERING DTCS P0552 AND/OR P0553. THE POWER STEERING SENSOR HAS SINCE BEEN CHANGED TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION. THE OLD/PREVIOUS POWER STEERING SENSOR IS P/N 89448-34010. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH SENSOR P/N 89448-34020. USING TIS TECHSTREAM, CONFIRM THE CONDITION BY CHECKING FOR DTCS P0552 AND/OR P-553. DISCONNECT THE PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR AND PROCEED WITH REMOVING THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH, WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE POWER STEERING VANE PUMP AND IS MOUNTED TO THE HIGH PRESSURE FEED LINE. INSTALL THE NEW POWER STEERING PRESSURE SENSOR, TIGHTENING TO 15.2 FT.-LBS. (20.6 NM). WITH THE NEW SENSOR FULLY INSTALLED AND CONNECTED, START THE ENGINE AND CHECK FOR LEAKS. ADJUST POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL AS NEEDED."

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS VERY DARK AND HARD TO READ DURING THE DAY. ESPECIALLY ON CLOUDY DAYS OR WHEN WEARING SUNGLASSES. AS A RESULT, READING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TAKES SIGNIFICANT EFFORT, WHICH MEANS MORE TIME OF EYES NOT ON THE ROAD AND IT MAKES CONTROLLING SPEED HARD. ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING DOES NOT COME ON UNLESS THE HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS ARE ON. WITH LIGHT SWITCH SET TO "AUTO", HEAD & TAILLIGHTS AND THUS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS WILL BE OFF DURING THE DAY. WITH THE LIGHT SWITCH SET TO ON, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS WILL BE ON, BUT THE MAXIMUM OUTPUT IS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO BE EASILY VISIBLE IN DAYTIME DRIVING. LIKE MOST VEHICLES IN TEXAS, MY TRUCK CAME WITH LEGAL AND MODEST SIDE WINDOW TINTING FROM THE DEALER. THIS REDUCES LIGHT FALLING ONTO THE MOSTLY BLACK INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND REFLECTING OF THE THIN WHITE LETTERING. HENCE, IT TAKES EFFORT TO READ. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED WHEN WEARING SUNGLASSES (A MUST DURING SUMMER IN TEXAS) OR WHEN DRIVING ON CLOUDY DAYS.
