EARLIER IN THE YEAR OF 2017, A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA (BRIAN WARNER ET AL. V. TOYOTA MOTOR SALES) WAS SETTLED REGARDING FRAME RUST AND CORROSION. THIS LAWSUIT LED TO THE RECALL OF ALL 2005-2010 TACOMAS, 2007-2008 TUNDRAS, AND 2005-2008 SEQUOIAS. BEING THAT THE SEQUOIAS ARE BASED OFF OF THE TUNDRA IT IS INTERESTING THAT THE RESPECTIVE YEARS OF TUNDRAS WERE NOT INCLUDED WITH THE SEQUOIAS. THE ARGUMENT FOR THE CASE WAS THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY RUST PROTECTANT PUT ONTO THESE FRAMES AND THEREFORE THEY WERE ROTTING PREMATURELY AND CAUSING SERIOUS DANGER TO THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THEM. I HAVE EVEN READ STORIES OF TRUCKS SNAPPING IN HALF UNDER THEIR OWN WEIGHT WHEN BEING PUT ONTO A LIFT. I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 TUNDRA AND AM EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT AM NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. ONE OF THE RACK AND PINION MOUNTS THAT ARE WELDED ONTO THE FRONTMOST CROSSMEMBER OF THE FRAME IS 2/3 ROTTED AWAY AND IS ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE IT WILL BREAK OFF LEADING TO AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE REASON TOYOTA LOST THIS LAWSUIT AND WHY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM HAVE BEEN RECALLED. TOYOTA ALSO RECOGNIZED THIS ISSUE IN 2015 WITH A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN WHICH EXPIRED AND OFFERED NO WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR IT. I RECENTLY VISITED A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO WENT UNDER THE VEHICLES AND CLAIMED THAT THE ROT IS SO BAD UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FRAME ENTIRELY IF IT HAD BEEN RECALLED. THEY ALSO GAVE ME DOCUMENTATION OF THIS. ESSENTIALLY MY FRAME IS BEYOND REPAIR AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY BECAUSE OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY. I THEN CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CORPORATE NUMBER AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IF THE 2006 SEQUOIA WAS INCLUDED WHICH IS BASED OFF OF THE TUNDRA, AND HAS THE EXACT SAME FRAME, WHY WASN'T THE TUNDRA INCLUDED WITH THIS RECALL?

TOYOTA HAS JUST SETTLED A CLAIM FOR FRAME RUST FOR 2007-2008 TUNDRAS. I OWN A 2005 TUNDRA AND THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND MUST BE REPLACED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND IT IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL.

SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA ON THE INTERSTATE. I CAME UPON ROAD WORK AND SLOWED TO THE 45 MPH SPEED LIMIT. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE TRUCK DROPPED TO THE FRONT LEFT WITH A LOUD CRASH. SPARKS WERE FLYING AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR A BRIEF TIME. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW AND STEER THE TRUCK TO SAFETY. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK TO SEE THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL BUCKLED UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND MAJOR DAMAGES TO THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I'M VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SLOWED FOR ROAD WORK. IF I HAD OF BEEN DOING INTERSTATE SPEEDS OF 70 MPH I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE THE VEHICLE AND COULD HAVE HAD SEVERE AND FATAL CONSEQUENCES. EVERY DAY FOR THE PRIOR WEEK OR SO I NOTICED THE TRUCKS STEERING BEING WEIRD (PULLING A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND NOT BEING ABLE BE STEERED WITH THE NORMAL EASE) AND IT MAKING A LOUD SQUEAKING SOUND WHEN TURNING.

ONE OF THE LEAFS IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING BROKE AND SLID AGAINST THE TIRE RIM WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THE PIECE OF LEAF SPRING "COULD" HAVE JAMMED IN MY RIM AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE OR FALLEN OFF CAUSING A PROBLEM FOR DRIVERS FOLLOWING ME. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL OTHER TOYOTA TUNDRA OWNERS AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH CRACKED / BROKEN REAR LEAF SPRINGS. I HAVE TO ASSUME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO PURCHASE NEW LEAF SPRINGS FROM TOYOTA IN A TIMELY FASHION BECAUSE THE HAD A LARGE BACK ORDER ON LEAF SPRINGS FOR MY MODEL.

THE SPARE TIRE DETACHED FROM ITS MOUNT UNDER THE VEHICLE WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON I-76 IN NE COLORADO. THE TIRE FELL TO THE PAVEMENT AND WAS STRUCK BY THE TRAVEL TRAILER WE WERE TOWING, BLOWING OUT A TRAILER TIRE AND DAMAGING THE TRAILER. THE SPARE TIRE WAS STRUCK A FEW MINUTES LATER BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, CAUSING FAILURE TO 2 TIRES ON THEIR VEHICLE AND NEAR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THE PEOPLE IN THE SECOND VEHICLE CONFIRMED IT WAS OUR SPARE TIRE. AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT, OUR TOYOTA TUNDRA WAS 10 MONTHS OLD, PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2017. THE SPARE TIRE HAD NEVER BEEN USED NOR HAD IT BEEN LOWERED OR REMOVED FROM ITS FACTORY-INSTALLED MOUNTING DEVICE. IT WAS FITTED WITH A DEALER-INSTALLED SPARE TIRE LOCK. THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. WE HAVE A DASH-CAM FILE OF THE INCIDENT BUT IT ONLY SHOWS THAT NOTHING ELSE WAS IN THE HIGHWAY AS THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE REARVIEW CAMERA ONLY SHOWS THE TRAVEL TRAILER ROCKING AS IT WENT OVER THE SPARE TIRE.

VEHICLE SURGES/JUMPS FORWARD WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS BARELY TOUCHED FROM THE STATIONARY/STOP POSITION WHILE IN DRIVE. I WAS MOVING THE VEHICLE ABOUT 2FT.THIS PROBLEM CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE THIS MORNING. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA IN 2013. (2ND PROBLEM,) THIS VEHICLE GOES UP TO 2500 RPMS WHEN I TURN DOWN THE NEXT STREET WHICH HAS A SLIGHT DECLINE BUT THE SPEED DOESN'T INCREASE. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN THE MORNING WHEN IT IS FIRST USED. I THINK THIS COULD BE A DEFECTIVE COMPUTER MODULE FOR BOTH PROBLEMS. (3RD) PROBLEM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAN NOT BE READ ON A SUNNY DAY, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING OR HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE, ETC. THE WHOLE PANEL COULD BE DEFECTIVE. I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO TOYOTA IN 2013, THEY DID NOT SHOW ANY INTEREST IN THESE PROBLEM
