AIR BAGS
I WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL IN THE SUMMER OF 2014. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR AND A HALF SINCE THE NOTIFICATION. I WAS TOLD PARTS WERE ORDERED AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED AND SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED. I'VE CONTACTED DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, WHEN PARTS ARRIVED. THE INITIAL LETTER TOLD ME NOT TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.) I THINK I'VE BEEN PATIENT LONG ENOUGH.WHEN THIS ALL STARTED I WAS IN LEXINGTON KY. I AM CURRENTLY IN OKEECHOBEE FL. I'VE CONTACTED DEALERS IN EACH AREA.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FEB 2015. WHILE DOING SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IN MAY 2015 TO THE VEHICLE I NOTICED SOME FRAME RUST. WHEN I TOOK A CLOSER LOOK I NOTICED THAT SOME AREAS OF THE FRAME RAILS WHERE PIECES WERE CONNECTED APPEARED TO BE STARTING TO SEPARATE DUE TO RUSTING. I CONTACTED A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN ON JUNE 20, 2015 FOR THEM TO HAVE A LOOK. AFTER ONE OF THE TECHS ON SITE LOOKED AT THE TRUCK FRAME HE TOLD HIS MANAGER THAT IF THIS TRUCK CAME INTO THEIR SHOP THEY WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE FRAME AS PART OF A RECALL. THE MANAGER TOOK SOME PICTURES AND SAID THAT HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME. AFTER NOT HEARING BACK FOR A COUPLE WEEKS I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE FRAME WAS PREVIOUSLY COATED WITH A PROTECTIVE COATING AS PART OF A TOYOTA RECALL FOR RUSTING FRAMES THAT THERE WAS NOT MUCH MORE THEY COULD DO. I THEN OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE DUE TO MY CONCERN OF SAFETY AND QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DECISION THAT WAS MADE TO TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION ON THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL WAS STILL AND ACTIVE CAMPAIGN. TOYOTA BASICALLY GAVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE AS THE DEALERSHIP. I ASKED IF THEY COULD AT LEAST REVIEW THE TRUCK TO MAKE SURE IT WAS SAFE FOR DRIVING AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRUCK WAS RECALLED AND THE FRAME WAS COATED WITH A PROTECTIVE COATING AND THAT WAS BASICALLY THE END OF WHAT THEY COULD OFFER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE FRAME IS OBVIOUSLY STILL RUSTING SO WHATEVER FIX THEY PERFORMED DID NOT WORK. WHETHER IT WAS DONE IMPROPERLY OR PERHAPS NOT THE CORRECT DECISION BASED ON THE CONDITION OF THE FRAME TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST GAVE THIS CASE A SECOND EVALUATION CONSIDERING THAT THE CAMPAIGN WAS STILL ACTIVE WHEN I HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS TRUCK CONSIDERING THAT THE FRAME CONTINUES TO RUST.

STEERING
RACK AND PINION SEALS FAILED CAUSING THE POWER STEERING FLUID TO LEAK INSIDE THE BOOTS ON THE END OF THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY THEREFORE NOT LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND SO THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM UNTIL THE POWER STEERING FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE DEFECT BUT REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A FAULTY PART OR DESIGN PROBLEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOUGHT NEW 2016 TUNDRA LIMITED 11/16/2015 AND NOTICED THAT DASH LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS UNLESS PARKING LIGHTS OR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. IN THE OFF/DRL POSITION OR THE AUTO POSITION NO DASH LIGHTS. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA HELP LINE I WAS TOLD THAT THIS CHANGE WAS MADE BECAUSE IF THE DRIVER CAN SEE THE OUTLINE OF THE NUMBERS ON THE GAUGES THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE ILLUMINATED. HE COULD NOT OFFER ANY REASON FOR CHANGING THIS STANDARD FEATURE. OTHER THAN NOT SEEING THE GAUGES SHARPER AND CLEARER ONE SAFETY DEFECT IS PRESENT. THE TUNDRA HAS GAUGES INSTEAD OF WARNING LIGHTS FOR ENGINE OPERATIONS AND THEY ARE SMALLER THAN THE SPEEDOMETER/TACHOMETER . THE TEMP GAUGE IS LOCATED ON THE LOWER LEFT OF THE DASH AND CANNOT BE SEEN CLEARLY WITHOUT THE DASH ILLUMINATED BECAUSE THAT CORNER IS DARK IF IT IS CLOUDY OR EARLY OR LATE . IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS ONE WOULD NOT SEE THAT PROBLEM ON THE GAUGE WHICH MIGHT LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE ,ETC. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT REQUIRED TURNING ON THE PARKING LIGHTS OR HEADLIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE THE DASH..DEALER SAYS THAT SWITCH CANNOT BE CUSTOMIZED. TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE A FIX FOR THIS MISTAKE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
THE DRIVETRAIN ON MY 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA ARE NOT ALLOWING THE WHEELS TO ROTATE FREELY. ADDITIONALLY, THE WHEELS ARE LOCKING UP ON THE TRUCK. ON 6 DEC, I PICKED UP MY TUNDRA FROM THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPART AFTER HAVING THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DRIVE SLUGGISH. AS I NEARED MY HOME, I TRIED TO TEST THE 2WD AND 4WD FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO TEST THE REPAIR THAT WAS DONE. THE WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS ROTATING FREELY AND LOCKING UP. WHILE IN 4WD THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IT APPEARED AS IF THE BREAKS WERE LOCKED ON THE VEHICLE. FOUR DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE STILL DRIVES SLUGGISH. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 45MPH, I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON ITS OWN. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO DRIVE IN 4WD LOW AND HIGH MODE. ADDITIONALLY, THE WHEELS ARE ACTING LIKE THEY DO NOT WANT TO ROTATE FREELY. AS OF 6AM ON 8 DEC, I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE OVER 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE IS IDLING OVER 4000 RPM AND NOT CHANGING GEARS. THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERING BEING IN 4WD LOW BUT THE SELECTOR SWITCH IS ON 2WD MODE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER BECAUSE THE PLASTIC FAN IN THE SECONDARY INJECTION SYSTEM BROKE AND THE PIECES BLEW INTO THE EXHAUST PORTS AND MELT, STICKING UP THE EXHAUST PORTS. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T RUN RIGHT AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF A DESIGN PROBLEM. TOYOTA ACCEPTS THE PROBLEM AND HAS EXTENDED THE VEHICLE WARRANTIES FOR THE 2007-2010 MODEL YEARS, BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL YEAR. REPAIR HAS COST ME OVER $3,000 FOR THEIR MISTAKE. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.
