AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPIRAL CABLE, ALSO CALLED CLOCKSPRING, FAILED, IDENTICAL TO OTHER TOYOTA SPIRAL CABLE FAILURES ON OTHER MODELS THAT WERE RECALLED. ANOTHER RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED THAT CORRECTS THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM (IT DISABLES THE DRIVER AIRBAG AND HORN) FOR AFFECTED TUNDRA MODELS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON MY 2015 TOYOTA TUNDRA,THE LIGHT FROM THE RADIO DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT AT NIGHT IT MAKES THIS TRUCK VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WHEN IT RAINS AT NIGHT IT MAKES IT 10 TIMES MORE DANGEROUS. THIS TRUCK NEEDS A DIMMER SWITCH FOR THE BRIGHTNESS ON THE RADIO FOR NIGHT DRIVING. IF YOU WEAR GLASSES LIKE ME, THE LIGHT FROM THIS DISPLAY MAKE A GLARE. I HAVE TWO KIDS, ONE IS 15 MONTHS AND THE OTHER IS 3 YEARS. I DO NOT LIKE TO GO OUT AT NIGHT WITH THEM IN THE TRUCK DO TO THIS UNSAFE FEATURE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT !!!!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ORDERED AND RECEIVED 2017 TOYOTA TUNDRA PICKUP TRUCK WITH WORK PACKAGE. PER TOYOTA, "WORK PACKAGE" REMOVES ELECTRONIC OPTIONS SUCH AS POWER SEATS, WINDOWS AND LOCKS. THE PROBLEM HERE, IS THAT THERE IS NO KEYED CYLINDER LOCK INSTALLED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, THEREFORE--REMOVING THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK, ALSO REMOVES ALL MEANS OF ENTERING THE LOCKED PASSENGER SIDE OF THIS VEHICLE, EXCEPT BY UNLOCKING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, AND CRAWLING OVER THE SEAT TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. TOYOTA DOES NOT STATE LACK OF PASSENGER DOOR ACCESS IN ANY OF THEIR PUBLISHED INFORMATION CONCERNING THE "WORK TRUCK PACKAGE". I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES PERTAINING TO THIS BY ELIMINATING ALL EXTERIOR ACCESS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, FOR ANY REASON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS EITHER INOPERABLE OR UNACCESSIBLE, THERE WOULD BE NO QUICK, EASY WAY TO ENTER THE VEHICLE WITH A SIMPLE TURN OF A KEY -- ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO BREAK THROUGH A WINDOW, IF POSSIBLE. I FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT A MAJOR AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER PURPOSELY ELIMINATES VEHICLE ACCESS DUE TO FINANCIAL REASONS, OVERSHADOWING SAFETY REASONS.

ENGINE
I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED USED 2012 PLATINUM TUNDRA WITH 32K MILES AND 2 YEARS LATER WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND A CAM SEAL LEAK FIXED BY THE DEALER, I HAVE FOUND A VERY HARD ROD KNOCK FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED WITH 114.8K MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME AND WAS TOLD I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I BELIEVE SOMETHING ISN'T SMELLING RIGHT. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY ISSUES WITH THE CONNECTION OF THE CAM SEAL LEAK AND THE ROD READY TO BLOW. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE APPROX. $14K TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH 40K MILES ON IT.. REALLY ? AGAIN, I'M SMELLING "NOT MY PROBLEM" FROM THE PEOPLE INVOLVED. WHO CAN I REACH OUT TO ASSIST ME IN RESEARCHING THE CAUSE OF POSSIBLE MIS REPAIR MAINTENANCE ? I APPRECIATE ANYONE'S HELP. BEST REGARDS,

WHILE BACKING UP, I TAPPED A POLE STICKING OUT OF THE GROUND AND DENT MY PLASTIC BUMPER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A BODY SHOP WHERE THEY HAD TO ORDER THE BUMPER AND ASSEMBLY. SEVERAL DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE RIGHT REAR PORTION OF THE BUMPER FELL OFF. WHAT HELD IT IN PLACE WAS THE ELECTRICAL FOR THE BACKUP SENSOR. I ENDED UP USING TAPE TO HOLD THE BUMPER TO THE PICKUP AND WENT BACK TO THE BODY SHOP THE NEXT DAY.AS THE PARTS HAD COME IN. TOYOTA SAID THAT SINCE I BACKED INTO THE POLE THERE WAS NO COVERAGE FOR THE BRACKET OR BUMPER EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BUMPER BRACKETS I LATTER LEARNED.. THE BUMPER BRACKETS THAT HELD THE BUMPER IN PLACE WAS PURCHASED FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. IF I WAS TAPPED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT AND THE BUMPER FELL OFF IT NOW BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE PRIOR AND THE BUMPER DID NOT FALL OFF. THE BUMPER FELL OFF BECAUSE OF SAFETY DEFECT OF THIS VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN THE CITY.
