ALL 4 EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES STICK OPEN. (OCCASIONALLY) DOOR DOES NOT LATCH WHEN SHUT. DRIVING AWAY AND TURNING CORNER, DOORS FLY'S OPEN. TOYOTA SENT OUT 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM DETAILS' LETTER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT SINCE DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE IT, THEY DENY CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. I PROVIDED PHOTO PROOF OF HANDLES STUCK OPEN THEY STILL WILL NOT CORRECT PROBLEM! CALLED TOYOTA I HAVE CLAIM # AND WROTE LETTER STILL REFUSE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. STATING THEY CANNOT DO WARRANTY REPAIR UNLESS IT CAN BE DUPLICATED AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS MY JOB TO TAKE OFF WORK AND KEEP BRINGING VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER UNTIL THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF. WON'T REIMBURSE ME TIME OFF OF WORK TO KEEP BRINGING VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER. THEY ARE OF NO HELP. 9TH TOYOTA IN A ROW FOR ME. MOVING TO FORD.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE PCS "PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM" SHUTS OFF ALL THE TIME! WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON AND IS SUPPOSED TO SLOW DOWN BY ITSELF WHEN THERE'S ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF YOU ACTUALLY ACCELERATES MY VEHICLE THAT CAN CREATE A SEVERE ACCIDENT BY CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME! THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED ON THE RADAR BASE SYSTEM THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND IT ACTUALLY SPEEDS IT UP WHICH CAN CAUSE A FATALITY!

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN
VIBRATION AT 70,000 MILES IN FRONT AND REAR OF VEHICLE. CHECKED OUT ONLINE. SEEMS PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BEARINGS IN TOYOTA TUNDRA'S AT RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE . TOOK TO MECHANIC. BEARINGS NEED REPLACED IN FRONT RIGHT AND REAR WHEEL HUBS. 70,000 MILES, WOW. MECHANIC WAS FLABBERGASTED TOO. LITTLE EARLY FOR BEARING REPLACEMENT . WITH THE FRAME ALREADY UNDER RECALL. MAKES YOU WONDER WHO WENT CHEAP WITH BEARING'S TOO. I BOUGHT TOYOTA IN THINKING THINGS LIKE THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN. MY 1996 NISSAN FRAME LOOKS BETTER THEN THE FRAME ON MY TRUCK. TOYOTA INSPECTED FRAME . TOLD ME IT LOOKED BETTER THAN MOST . BOLTS THAT HOLD BED ON UNDER MY BED LINER ARE ALREADY RUSTED, AS WELL AS THE BED BODY AND FRAME .TOLD ME IT DOESN'T MEET REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS . SO NOW I'M WAITING FOR THEM TO SPRAY UNDERNEATH BODY. SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN PRODUCTION . I DON'T SEE HOW THAT FIXES A PROBLEM . IF DONE CORRECTLY AND PREPPED BEFORE SPRAYING MAYBE. NEED TO REPLACE ALL FRAMES NOT COATED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MICE ARE ABLE TO ENTER THE AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM FROM A LARGE GAP AT THE ENDS OF THE AIR INTAKE GRILL BELOW THE WINDSHIELD, ONCE IN, THEY ENTER THE CAB AND DASH AREA. THESE MICE WILL DAMAGE THE WIRING AND CAUSE A VEHICLE SYSTEM FAILURE (BRAKING-POWER-AIR BAG, ETC.) I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER ROCHESTER TOYOTA AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE (800-331-4331). THE DEALER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A ISSUE AND ONLY SUGGESTION WAS TO PUT A SCENT IN THE CAB TO DISCOURAGE THE MICE. THIS IS SERIOUS MANUFACTURING FLAW THAT NEEDS A RETRO FITTED AIR INTAKE GRILL TO CLOSE OFF IT'S CURRENT GAP THAT ALLOW MICE TO ENTER THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. I HAVE INSTALLED STEEL MESH TO COVER THESE LARGE GAPS (PHOTOS ATTACHED). A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ISSUED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TOYOTA'S PRE COLLISION SENSOR IS UNRELIABLE AND INTERMITTENTLY PRODUCES AN ERROR "PCS SENSOR UNAVAILABLE -- CLEAN SENSOR". THE SAFETY PORTION OF THIS COMPLAINT COMES WHEN DYNAMIC CRUISE CONTROL IS SET. WHEN THE SENSOR NO LONGER DETECTS A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU, AND THERE IS CLEARLY THERE, THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BEFORE THE ERROR SHOWS ON THE DASH CLUSTER IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET ABOVE THE TRAFFIC FLOW. I EXPECT AND REALIZE THAT THIS SITUATION COULD OCCUR, AND I AVOID USING THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, IF SOMEBODY NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS FAULT IS USING THE PCS SENSOR AND DOES NOT REALIZE THIS PROBLEM, THEY WILL END UP REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE, POSSIBLY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED BEFORE THE SYSTEM SHUTS ITSELF OFF AND LETS OFF THE THROTTLE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. SEVERAL OTHERS ON DIFFERENT FORUMS HAVE DESCRIBED SIMILAR SITUATIONS WHERE ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN NARROWLY AVOIDED BECAUSE OF THIS FAULT. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN HELPFUL IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE PULLED CODES FOR A FORWARD CAMERA COMMUNICATION ISSUE. A NEW CAMERA HAS BEEN ORDERED AND WILL BE INSTALLED NEXT WEEK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INITIALLY DRIVER SIDE LOCK ACTUATOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK DOOR VIA REMOTE. THIS LAST APPROXIMATELY 10-DAYS. THE PROBLEM RESOLVED IT SELF. APPROXIMATELY 2-WEEKS LATER THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR EXHIBITED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR PROBLEM LASTED APPROXIMATELY 7-DAYS. THIS HAS BEEN RANDOMLY HAPPENING OVER THE PAST 6-8 MONTHS. WITHIN THE PAST 5-DAYS THE DRIVERS DOOR BEGAN ACTING UP. THIS TIME THE LOCK WOULD UNLOCK USING THE REMOTE BUT THEN WOULD NOT LOCK USING THE REMOTE. I WOULD HAVE TO CYCLE THE LOCK SYSTEM 4 TO 5 TIMES BEFORE ALL FOUR DOORS WOULD LOCK USING REMOTE. AT SOME TIMES THREE OF THE FOUR DOORS WOULD LOCK EXCEPT THE DRIVERS DOOR. I THEN TRIED TO RECYCLE THE LOCK SYSTEM. AT TIMES AFTER RECYCLING THE LOCK SYSTEM I WOULD STILL HAVE TO LOCK DRIVERS DOOR MANUALLY. I TOOK VEHICLE TO TOYOTA DEALER IN MY HOMETOWN, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT BOTH FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE BAD AND I WOULD NEED TO SPEND $1,200 TO FIX. I WAS TOLD THE LOCK ACTUATORS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER ANY MANUFACTURES RECALL. THE LOCK ACTUATOR ISSUE HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN VEHICLE IS IN A PARKED CONDITION, ENGINE OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER.

DECEMBER 2017 - SHOP INFORMED ME OF SERIOUS FRAME CORROSION/PERFORATION, I CALLED TOYOTA CORP. WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. DEALER INSPECTED MARCH 2018 INFORMED ME NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE AS THE FRAME WAS UNSAFE. DEALER WOULD NOT RELEASE VEHICLE TO ME WITHOUT ME SIGNING THEIR FORM ABOUT UNSAFE VEHICLE. I PHONED TOYOTA CORP. AND WAS TOLD NO ASSISTANCE WAS AVAILABLE. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE / LEGIT? THE MAIN FRAME HAS FAILED ON THE VEHICLE - AND COMPANY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGN AND PRODUCTION/ALLOY ERRORS?
