ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SECONDARY INJECTION PUMP TRIGGER A LIMP MODE WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON ALL VEHICLE EXCEPT THE 2005, 2006, 2007 WHICH HAVE THE EXACT SAME AIR PUMPS INSTALLED. THIS REPAIR IS COSTING TOYOTA OWNERS IN EXCESS OF $3,000.00 WITH VEHICLES HAVING HAVING LESS THE 100K MILES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN EMISSION ISSUE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD ADDRESS, THE U.S. HAS MADE VW RESPONSIBLE FOR THERE SHORTCOMINGS I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

IN 2010 TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON THE FRAME AND SPARE TIRE HOLDER RESULTING IN THE SPARE TIRE COMING OFF AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS. I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL TO GET THE FRAME/CROSS MEMBER CHECKED BY THE CLOSEST DEALER POSSIBLE. SO I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH JOHNSON CITY TOYOTA IN TENNESSEE AND WHEN THE PART WOULD ARRIVE THEY WOULD CALL ME. I NEVER GOT THE PHONE CALL SO AFTER TWO MONTHS OF WAITING I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TOLD ME THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND I'M OUT OF LUCK. I HAD BOUGHT THE 2001 TUNDRA IN JULY 11, 2011 SO I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME FROM THE GET GO AND WASN'T TOLD ABOUT THE RECALL WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AN INDIVIDUAL SELLER,"MIGHT FAULT" FOR NOT GOING OVER THE WHOLE THING ANYWAY, BUT MY PROBLEM IS THAT THE FRAME AND THE SPARE TIRE HOLDER IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. SO I HAD CALLED CORPORATE IN 2012, AND TODAY WITH A VERY DISAPPOINTING ANSWER TWICE THAT THE RECALL IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND THAT THEY CAN NOT HELP ME. MY CASE NUMBER WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE IS 1601253399 FROM TODAY BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE CASE NUMBER FROM THE 2012 CALL. ALSO I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS A 2002 TACOMA THAT WAS ALSO RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON AND HIS FRAME HAD GOTTEN REPLACED IN JULY 2013 AT JIM BARKLEY TOYOTA IN ASHEVILLE,NORTH CAROLINA WHICH GOES COMPLETELY AGAINST WHAT I'M BEING TOLD. I HOPE THAT THIS IS THE INFO THAT YOU NEED BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME IF PICTURES ARE NEEDED OR WITH ANY DETAILS. I HOPE YOUR THE RIGHT PEOPLE THAT CAN HELP ME, IF NOT CAN YOU SEND ME TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I HAVE NO WHERE TO TURN AND MY HAND ARE TIED, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS SUSTANTIAL FRAME RUST WHICH AFFECTS THE SAFE OPERATION AND THE RESALE/TRADE-IN VALUE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO OFFER ANY REMEDY BECAUSE THE FRAME REPLACEMENT PROGRAM ENDED IN 2012. MY VEHICLES FRAME PASSED A FRAME INSPECTION IN 2011 BY A LOCAL DEALER. I TOOK THEM AT THEIR WORD. I DONT FEEL THAT THE FRAME ON A 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD HAVAE SUCH A SHORT SERVICE LIFE. THIS IS A HARDSHIP FOR HUNDEREDS OF TUNDRA OWNERS WHO HAVE OTHERWISE GOOD VEHICLES THAT ARE NOW POTENTIALLY UN-SAFE AND UTTERLY WORTHLESS. THE DEALER DID OFFER TO PATCH THE FRAME IN ONE AREA BUT IT IS CORRODED IN SEVERAL AREAS. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS TOYOTAS ACTIONS DID NOT GO FAR ENOUGH.

ENGINE
WHILE TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER ON A MOUNTAIN PASS FREEWAY IN WA STATE WITH NO SHOULDER. GOING UP THE HILL AND STARTED TO PUT THE FOOT DOWN ON GAS TO GET SPEED UP FOR THE UPCOMING STEEP HILL, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL POWER WAS LOST, ENGINE WENT INTO LIMP MODE WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. I HAD TO TRAVEL AT 8MPH, UP THE HILL UNTIL I FOUND A SUITABLE PULL OUT SPOT FOR THE TRUCK AND 30FT TRAILER. I WAS ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS GOING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2X, BOTH IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. THE FIRST TIME WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT IN AND THE DEALER WAS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP OUT. BUT THEY WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO CHARGE $100 TO TELL ME IT WOULD COST $4200 TO REPAIR IT, INCLUDING THE SECONDARY $1800 EGC VACUUM PUMP, WHICH ONLY RUNS, AS THE DEALER TOLD ME, 30-45 SECONDS AT START UP, THEN THE PUMP DOES NOTHING. WHY DOES THIS OCCUR AFTER RUNNING 2+ HOURS?? THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS TOWING THE SAME TRAILER AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE ENDING UP GOING ONLY 8 MPH UPHILL AGAIN ON THE HIWAY W/60MPH LIMIT!! THIS TIME AT THE ADVICE OF A FRIEND, ONCE OUT OF TRAFFIC. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR 10 MINUTES, RECONNECTED IT AND THE COMPUTER HAD RESET ITSELF AND THE TRUCK RAN FINE THE LAST 45 MINUTES HOME. I NO LONGER TRAVEL THAT ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER AS I AM AFRAID IT'S GOING TO CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE 05-06 MODELS. YET ARE FIXING IT UNDER RECALL ON 07+ MODELS BUT WON'T HELP ANYONE ELSE WITH AN '06 OR OLDER. THIS IS MY 3RD TOYOTA AND LAST. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD 60000 MILES, THE 2ND TIME IT WAS AT 68500 MILES. I ONLY HAVE 87500 ON IT NOW, AT 10 1/2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. I AM ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR A TRUCK THAT HAS A COMPANY THAT WILL STAND BEHIND ITS BRAND. I'M DONE WITH TOYOTA. THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED MY AIRBAGS EITHER!!

ENGINE
I BOUGHT MY 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA BRAND NEW IN FEB. 2010, DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT TOYOTA DEALER RECENTLY, ENGINE OIL LEAKING WAS NOTICED BY THE TECHNICIAN. THE REPAIR WAS DONE TO RESEAL BOTH CAM BOX HOUSINGS AND REPLACED SEALS AND GASKETS THAT ARE RELATED. IT COSTED OVER $1800. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE JUST PASSED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, SINCE IT HAS BEEN 5 YEAR AND 11 MONTHS, BUT THE MILEAGE IS AT 38,000, RELATED LOW. I HAVE CONTACED TOYOTA US HEADQUARTER, TOLD THEM THE OIL LEAKING MOST LIKELY STARTED BEFORE 5 YEARS MARK, BUT IT WAS JUST DISCOVERED NOW. THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE THE REPAIR COST. THE DEALER SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN MANY TUNDRA HAD THIS OIL LEAK ISSUE, AND MOST OF THEM WERE WITHIN WARRANTY, SO THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SO FAR, I ALSO DID RESEARCH ON INTERNET, FOUND OTHER PEOPLE HAD THIS OIL LEAK ISSUE FOR THEIR 2010 TUNDRA AND 2011 TUNDRA. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY LET TOYOTA DO A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS GAUGE IS NO LONGER GIVING ACCURATE READINGS OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE GAS TANK. THE GAS WAS AT 1/4 OF A TANK AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT IT COMPLETELY DIED ON ME. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER THE AAA GUY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE FUEL PUMP MIGHT HAVE GONE OUT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID HE JUST FIXED THE SAME PROBLEM BUT ON A TOYOTA SEQUOIA WHICH IT ENDED UP BEING THE GAS GAUGE NOT READING HOW MUCH GAS IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. AFTER INSPECTION OF MY TRUCK HE SAID THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE THE TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAD THAT HE FIXED . MY TRUCK IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT, IT SHOULDN'T BE GIVING ME THESE PROBLEMS ALREADY.

THE FRAME IS RUSTING. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD THE NOTICE I RECEIVED WAS FOR AIR BAG ISSUES ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. SO I CALLED CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THE NOTICE ON MY RUST ISSUES EXPIRED JULY OF 2015. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAG BUT NOT THE RUST ISSUE? AND NOW THAT I KNOW ABOUT IT AND WANT TO GET IT RESOLVED THEY WONT DO ANYTHING? I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A BALL JOINT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND I AM SURPRISED THERE IS NOT A RECALL. THE FRAMES WILL EVENTUALLY RUST APART TIL THE SNAP. ARE WE WAITING FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE? THIS ISN'T SOME SMALL ISSUE, THIS CAN BE LIFE THREATENING. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE VERY WELL. IT GETS ALL THE ROUTINE THINGS DONE AND ONLY A MECHANIC TOUCHES IT, IT IS NEVER WORKED ON AT HOME IN THE GARAGE. I LOVE MY TOYOTA AND I AM VERY SHOCKED THEY HAVEN'T GONE FURTHER TO CORRECT THEIR WRONG. THEY MADE THE MISTAKE AND DIDN'T PROTECT IT NOT ME. I DO EVERYTHING I AM SUPPOSED TO DO TO KEEP MY VEHICLE IN TIP TOP CONDITION SO I AM NOT LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

POWER TRAIN
TOYOTA HAD A RECALL OF RUSTED OUT FRAMES FOR 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCKS. MINE WAS REPLACED, BUT NOW THE DIFFERENTIAL HAS RUSTED OUT AND IT REQUIRES AN ENTIRE NEW REAR AXLE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART. THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE THE REAR END TO LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES.
