SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE PRE COLLISION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES A VARIOUS TIMES. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK WHEN ILLUMINATED. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN KEPT CLEAN. IT DOES NOT GIVE A FAILURE CODE AT THE DEALER. IT WAS REPROGRAMED. THE PRE COLLISION BRAKING WAS A MAJOR FEATURE IN MY BUYING PROCESS AND IT DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY.

SUSPENSION
THE UPPER BALL JOINT FAILED 16 DAYS AFTER THE ANNUAL INSPECTION. MY SON DROVE OVER A SPEED BUMP IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND THE DRIVER-SIDE FRONT WHEEL FOLDED UNDER THE CAR. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD RECALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PART BECAUSE OF THE CATASTROPHIC NATURE OF THE FAILURE. THEY DISMISSED IT AND CLAIMED "...WE DO NOT SHOW ANY RECALLS OR OTHER SUPPORT PROGRAMS APPLICABLE TO THE VEHICLE." JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE THIS PART FAILED, MY SON HAD BEEN HELPING FRIENDS MOVE. HE HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WITH THREE PASSENGERS IN HIS TRUCK AND THE BED OF THE TRUCK FULL OF FURNITURE. PEOPLE COULD HAVE DIED. I GOOGLED BALL JOINT FAILURES ON TOYOTA VEHICLES AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING LINK: HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/NEWS04/2007/01/TOYOTA_BALL_JOINTS.HTML. THIS LED ME TO YOUR WEB SITE. WE WERE NEVER INFORMED OF THIS RECALL BY TOYOTA AND HAVE LITERALLY BEEN DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $2,113.71 - NOT INCLUDING THE BODY DAMAGE THAT OCCURRED FROM DRAGGING THE TRUCK ONTO THE TOW TRUCK PLATFORM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WITH THE MANY TIMES I HAVE SEVERELY TRIED TO START MY VEHICLE IT HAS A HARD START NOT DUE TO OTHER COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE BATTERY OR OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT THE FLEX FUEL INTEGRATION IN THE SYSTEM NOT READING CORRECTLY. WITH THE REFLASH DONE MANY TIMES IT WILL STILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WITH THE VEHICLE ALWAYS AT A COLD START WEATHER IT WOULD BE A HOT DAY OR A COLD DAY IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE THE HARD START ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS MANY AFFECTS ON DRIVERS SAFETY AND COULD CAUSE SEVERITY ON THE ENGINE WITH FAULTS SOON TO HAPPEN. THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS A START BUT SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE ERROR TOYOTA HAS MADE WITH THIS COSTING MANY MANY OWNERS TO SUFFER HAVING TO TAKE TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY TO DO THIS AND THE COSTLY EFFECTS IT HAS. THIS REMEDY SHOULD BE HEARD BY EVERYONE IN THE TOYOTA INSTITUTE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND HAVE A HASSLE FREE SOLUTION TO BETTER ASSIST AND MAKE THE TOYOTA OWNER HAPPY TO KEEP ON PURSUING AND BUYING TOYOTA TRUCKS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TOYOTA DEALER AND TOYOTA TECHNICAL SUPPORT ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH T-SB-0058-13. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITHIN 3 MONTHS OR SO THAT I HAVE TAKEN MY 2013 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN FOR THIS FIX. FUEL ECONOMY DROPS ON AVERAGE OF 30-40%. TOYOTA REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE, AND IS REFUSING TO COVER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH FIXING THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN STATED AS A SOFTWARE GLICHE, AND THERE ARE NO PARTS TO REPLACE. HARD STARTS, ROUGH IDLE, AND REDUCTION IN FUEL ECONOMY CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY REPROGRAMMING THE ECM. DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THERE IS NOTHING THAT TOYOTA IS WILLING TO DO. THIS ISSUE IS IMPACTING THOUSANDS OF OWNERS, AND THE ONLY RESOLUTION TOYOTA HAS IS TO FLASH THE ECM. IF THIS IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE I WOULD EXPECT THAT TOYOTA ISSUE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MULTIPLE YEARS OF THIS ENGINE COMBINATION. THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM, BUT ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO ADDRESS IT. I HAVE LOGGED MULTIPLE CALLS IN TO TOYOTA FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT HAVE RECEIVED NO FOLLOW UP CONTACTS.

PRE COLLISION LIGHT COMES ON WITH THE VEHICLE ONLY HAVING 300 MILES ON IT. CYCLE ON AND OFF TO RESET BUT THE LIGHT STAYS ON. RECOMMEND REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE PCS. POLLED OTHER 2018 TUNDRAS AND 85% OF THE THEM ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE FEBRUARY RECALL DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. LIGHT WILL COME ON ONCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TURNED ON.

ENGINE
AIR INJECTION RELAY AND PUMP FAILURE. THIS CONDITION EVENTUALLY LEADS TO "LIMP" MODE CAUSING TRAFFIC SAFETY ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN A MANUFACTURER RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY ITEM ON ALL TUNDRA TRUCKS, UP TO AND INCLUDING SOME 2012 MODELS BUT NOT ALL OF THE 2012'S. BY THE NUMBERS OF FAILURES PRESENT, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT WHAT EVER DESIGN CHANGES TOYOTA DID TO SAY THEY FIXED THE ISSUE AND EXCLUDE SOME OF THE 2012'S WERE INSUFFICIENT. THIS RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD INCLUDE ALL 2012 MODELS. TOYOTA/DEALERS CLAIM THE PUMPS ARE PART OF EMISSIONS SO THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTIES. REPAIR COST WAS QUOTED AT $3800. OTHER FILED COMPLAINTS: NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11075528 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11002406 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10994136

ENGINE
IN EVENING HOURS DECEMBER 2017 I STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND FLASHING 4 LOL WAS ON. DROVE HOME AND HAD CORRODIED BATTERY TERMINAL. RESET LOTT AND WENT AWAY. ON FEBRUARY 23TH, 2018 MY WIFE STARTED TRUCK AND ALL THREE LIFTS WERE ON AGAIN. MADE A APPOINTMENT WITH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED HAD WEAK AIR INJECTION PUMP AND CLOSED SWITCH VALVE. THEY WROTE CAUSE OF HIGH WATER. DROVE OFF THE LOT AND THE LOGS CAME ON AGAIN. I'VE NOT EVEN OWN D MY TRUCK FOR TWO YEARS AND NEVER HAD IT THROUGH HIGH WATER. TOYOTA TOLD ME IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE AIR SYSTEM, BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS A 2012. THE COST TO FIX THIS WAS $3,000 DOLLARS. ON WAY HOME MY TRUCK WAS IN LIMP MODE AND I BARELY WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT UP A HILL. NOW I'M OUT OF A TRUCK FOR WORK AND CAN BARELY DRIVE ACROSS TOWN. THERE IS NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE AIR INJECTION SYSTEM FAILING AND NO ONE HAS OPENED A INVESTIGATION.

I WENT IN TO CARMAX TO TRADE IN MY TRUCK, AND WHEN IT WAS APPRAISED THEY FOUND RUST ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO TO LOWER THE VALUE OF A TRADE IN PRICE. IN FACT, CARMAX WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO 'AUCTION.' MY TRUCK WAS APPRAISED AT $19,000. KBB ESTIMATES IT BETWEEN - $21,300 TO $23,400.

STEERING
MY TRUCK IS A 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4X4 LIMITED. IT HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT. I TYPICALLY ONLY DRIVE IT ON THE WEEKENDS. I WAS DRIVING AND MADE A TURN, ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER STEERING. THE ACCORDION BOOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS FULL OF POWER STEERING FLUID. IT BLEW A SEAL ON THE STEERING ROD. THE WHOLE RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED. 18 HOUR LABOR JOB, AND WITH PARTS $3000.00. I ALMOST GOT INTO A ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T TURN IT. YOU HAVE TO DROP THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY TO CHANGE IT THAT'S WHY IT COST SO MUCH. THIS HAS TO BE A FACTORY DECFECT. ANY INPUT?

POWER TRAIN
DROVE MY TRUCK ABOUT 200 MILES THAT DAY. PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND UNLOADED A FORMICA COUNTER TOP IN MY GARAGE THEN PULLED MY TRUCK TO IT'S NORMAL PARKING SPOT. WALKED BACK TO THE GARAGE AND SAW A RATHER LARGE GREASE SPOT. LOOKED AT THE REAR OF MY TRUCK AND THE REAR END HOUSING WAS LEAKING AROUND THE PUMPKIN AREA. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME MY WHOLE REAR END HOUSING WAS RUSTED OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. SINCE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS (FRAME WAS REPLACED A YEAR AGO) MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE ARE NO GOOD USED REAR ENDS TO BE FOUND AND IT WOULD REQUIRE A NEW REAR END HOUSING. IF TOYOTA HAD MADE A RECALL ON FRAME ISSUES, WHY HAVEN'T THEY DONE THE SAME WITH THE REAR END HOUSING. A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE REAR DRIVING TRAIN SEEMS TO ME WOULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!
