THE INTRINSIC TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE GAIN COULD NOT BE SET INITIALLY. THE DEALERSHIP COMPUTER SYSTEM COULD NOT DETECT THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY WAY THE PROBLEM WAS RECOGNIZED WAS BY ATTACHING A TRAILER OR A TRAILER SIMULATOR TO THE TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP NOTED THAT ALL THE 2018 TUNDRA TRUCKS ON THEIR LOT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS IF THE DRIVER IS NOT AWARE THAT THE TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. WE WERE PERSISTENT AND THE DEALERSHIP DID REPLACE THE CONTROLLER WITH ONE THAT DID WORK. HOWEVER, THIS CONTROLLER COULD NOT BE ORDERED FROM TOYOTA, BUT ONLY FROM THE SUPPLIER THAT MAKES THEM FOR TOYOTA. AFTER OUR TRUCK WAS AFFECTED, WE FOUND MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS TRUCK. THIS PROBLEM WAS DETECTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK BY THE TECHNICIAN WHO INSTALLED THE GOOSENECK HITCH.

STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, SUSPENSION
ENTIRE FRAME HAS SEVERE RUST DESPITE ANTI-RUST/CORROSION INHIBITOR APPLIED IN 2010-2012. SMALL HOLES ARE NOW PRESENT IN FRAME AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 108K MILES. RECENTLY, THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED, AS IT RUSTED OUT. THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED RUST ON OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, INDICATING THAT RUST HAD MADE THE SYSTEM WEAK AND BRITTLE. COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF CORROSION INHIBITOR HAS NOW MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN A CORRECT ALIGNMENT. THE RUSTED FRAME WILL SOON, IF NOT ALREADY, DIMINISH THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY. TOYOTA INSTITUTED A FRAME RECALL CIRCA 2010 FOR JUST THIS ISSUE. SOMEHOW THIS VIN WAS OMITTED. THE CORROSION INHIBITOR HAS PROVED INEFFECTIVE. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA DEMAND TOYOTA INSTITUTE ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE EXCLUDED VINS. THESE OMITTED TUNDRAS, IN THEIR CURRENT POOR FRAME CONDITION, PRESENT A HAZARD TO DRIVERS AND OTHER MOTORISTS AND MUST BE REPAIRED.

TOYOTA - DEFECTIVE PLASTIC MATERIALS USED: THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL WELL MELTED FROM THE SUN WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. TOYOTA FAILED TO USE QUALITY PLASTIC MATERIAL WITHOUT UV PROTECTION AND A HIGHER ENOUGH MELTING THRESHOLD, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL FLAIR MELTING FROM HEAT OF SUN. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE, SHOULD SUN HEAT MELT A CAR PART WHICH SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND SUN HEAT OUTSIDE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA REGARDING THIS MATTER. I INFORMED TOYOTA NA THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL FLAIR MELTED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE COMPANY OFFERED TO PAY $200 FOR AN $850 REPAIR. I REQUEST FULL REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR OF MY TOYOTA TUNDRA 2014, PLUS DAMAGES OF $2,400 DUE TO THE TIME FROM WORK THAT WAS REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA NA.

MY 2000 TUNDRA FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH TO THE POINT THAT IT DOES NOT PASS THE VA STATE INSPECTION. THERE IS A FRAME RECALL FOR TUNDRAS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL, HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR SOME REASON. TOYOTA SAYS THAT NHTSA DETERMINES WHAT VINS ARE INCLUDED. I HAVE SIGNIFICANT RUST INCLUDING HOLES IN THE FRAME AS WELL AS A SWAY BAR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE THAT HAS TOTALLY BROKEN AWAY DUE TO RUST. HOW CAN I GET MY TRUCK INCLUDED IN THE FRAME RECALL ACTION AS THE CURRENT RECALLS FOR MY VIN ONLY APPLY TO THE REAR OF THE TRUCK (NOT MY FAILURES) AND ONLY ADDRESSES PUTTING A COATING ON THE FRAME WHICH WILL NOT ADDRESS MY ISSUE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IN VA THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE. I HAVE RECENTLY (~1 YEAR AGO) ALSO TOTALLY REPLACED ALL OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AT MY OWN EXPENSE DUE TO RUST (NEARLY $4,000 WORTH OF WORK). NO FRAME SHOULD HAVE THIS MUCH RUST ISSUES UNLESS THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. MY FRAME NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO ALLOW THE TRUCK TO PASS THE VA STATE INSPECTION.

THE 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAD A RECALL ON THE FRAME BECAUSE THE FRAMES WERE COMPROMISED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO ORLEANS TOYOTA AND HAD THE FRAME INSPECTED. THEY SAID THE FRAME WAS NOT RUSTED THAT BAD AND IT COULD BE TREATED, WHICH WAS PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT COMPROMISE. NOW MY FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. HOW DID THE DEALERSHIP PROPERLY INSPECT A ENCLOSED BOX FRAME? HOW DO YOU TREAT A FRAME MADE OUT OF INFERIOR METAL AND CORRECT THE ISSUE? THE TREATMENT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE EVEN AFTER THE RECALL. I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND AND KNOW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TOYOTA TUNDRAS AT THIS TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK IN TO ORLEANS TOYOTA AND HAD THEM INSPECT THE FRAME. THEY TOOK A PICTURE OF WHERE THE FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND SENT IT TO TOYOTA. TOYOTA HAS NOT RESPONDED IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS. MANY OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAD THE FRAMES TREATED ARE,OR ARE BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

STEERING
I TOOK MY 2013 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN FOR A ROUTINE 55,000 MILE SERVICE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE STEERING RACK IS FILLING WITH FLUID AND I COULD HAVE IT SIEZE UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING. I PURCHASED ALL WARRANTIES GOOD UNTIL 2020 BUT THEY FEEL THIS DESIGN FLAW SHOULD BE COVERED BY ME THE CONSUMER. I WAS QUOTED $3000.00+ FOR THE REPAIR. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK AFTER PUTTING 100,000+ ON 2006 TUNDRA WITH NOTHING CLOSE TO THIS IS REPAIRS. WHAT IS GOING ON? THE STEERING CAN SIEZE UP, AND THIS ISN'T A RECALL? WHY WOULD I BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA? HOW DO THEY JUSTIFY LETTING THIS LEVEL OF A SAFETY ISSUE TO JUST DRIVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AND SAY IT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED MULTIPLE TIMES BY PHYSICAL USPS MAILER THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO HAVE THE INFLATOR REPLACED FOR THE AIR BAGS. I FOLLOWED THE PROCESS 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AT WHICH POINT I WOULD BE PUT IN CONTACT WITH FOLSOM LAKE TOYOTA VIA TELEPHONE. EVERY TIME THEY STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE ORDERED SO THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK ON MY CELLPHONE TO SCHEDULE THE INSTALL WHEN THE PART ARRIVED. YEARS HAVE GONE BY AND THEY STILL NEVER CALL ME BACK, AND CLAIM THE PART NEEDS TO BE ORDERED EVERY TIME I DO TALK TO SOMEONE.
