RECALL STATES SERIOUS INJURY OF DEATH MAY OCCUR IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS. THIS SERIOUSLY LIMITS THE UTILITY OF THE VEHICLE SINCE NO ONE CAN RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT - LIMITING THE PASSENGERS TO FOUR. TOYOTA HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO MITIGATE THIS PROBLEM - AN UNKNOWN REPLACEMENT DATE IS NOT A GOOD FAITH EFFORT. TOYOTA NEEDS TO TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. TWO DOOR TRUCKS HAVE SWITCHES TO TURN OFF THE AIR BAG WHEN CHILDREN ARE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHY NOT SIMPLY DISCONNECT THE SWITCH SO THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. TO NOT DO SO, DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. I KNOW THAT IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH, AIR BAGS CAN SAVE LIVES - EXCEPT IN THIS CASE WHEN THEY WILL DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD. TOYOTA HAS ABSOLVED ITSELF OF LIABILITY BY PROVIDING NOTIFICATION - BUT 5 MONTHS WITHOUT TAKING ANY KIND OF ACTION TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM IS EXCESSIVE. IT IS TIME TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM OR I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU TELL TOYOTA THEY NEED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A NEW TRUCK - THAT WOULD PROBABLY GET THEIR ATTENTION. (IS THERE ANY OTHER AGENCY I CAN CONTACT TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT?)

WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SOMEWHAT BUSY 2-LANE ROAD LAST WEEK, GOING APPROXIMATELY 40MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE MORNING. I HEARD AND FELT A LOUD THUD, AND LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW A TIRE IN THE ROAD BEHIND ME AND THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE SWERVING TO AVOID IT. I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE DRIVEN OVER THE TIRE, AND WONDERED HOW I DIDN'T NOTICE IT IN THE ROAD. WHEN I CAME TO THE STOPLIGHT AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION A LITTLE WAYS DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR THAT HAD BEEN DRIVING DIRECTLY BEHIND ME PULLED UP BESIDE ME, AND THE DRIVER TOLD ME IT WAS MY SPARE TIRE THAT HAD FALLEN DOWN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY TRUCK THAT WAS NOW SITTING IN THE ROAD BACK THERE. LUCKILY, NO ONE HAD BEEN INJURED, AND ALL THE CARS HAD BEEN ABLE TO AVOID HITTING IT. AFTER RETRIEVING MY TIRE FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I NOTICED THE METAL PART OF THE SPARE TIRE HOIST THAT HOLDS THE TIRE TO THE LIFT CABLE SITTING A FEW FEET AWAY IN THE ROAD. THAT METAL PIECE WAS COVERED IN RUST, AND THE MIDDLE PART OF IT WAS COMPLETELY GONE, HAVING GIVEN WAY WHEN THE TIRE FELL OFF. I DID A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE, AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS REPORTS OF OTHER TUNDRA AND TACOMA OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY TUNDRA USED TO BE OPERATED IN THE NORTHEAST BY A PREVIOUS OWNER, AND WAS PART OF THE FRAME RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR FOR HIGHER THAN NORMAL RUST CORROSION ON THE FRAME. IT WARRANTED A COMPLETE FRAME REPLACEMENT THAT WAS COMPLETED IN JULY 2015. NOT SURE WHY THIS PART WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT REPLACEMENT, SINCE IT WAS CERTAINLY CORRODED AS WELL! THANKFULLY, NO ONE DRIVING BEHIND ME WHEN THE TIRE FELL OFF HAD BEEN INJURED BY HITTING THE TIRE, BUT IMAGINE IF ONE OF THOSE DRIVERS HAD NOT BEEN FULLY AWAKE THAT MORNING!

POWER TRAIN
I RECENTLY HAD A LOUD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVETRAIN OF MY 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA AT ALMOST ANY SPEED AND THE SOUND WAS PRESENT REGARDLESS OF TURNS OR TYPE OF DRIVING. I HAD NOTICED THE NOISE FOR QUITE A WHILE BUT IT STARTED TO GET SO BAD THAT YOU COULD FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE FLOORBOARD. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 75K MILES ON IT AND IT TURNS OUT THE REAR AXLE BEARINGS HAVE FAILED PREMATURELY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO TOYOTA (SEE TSB-0151-01) BUT AFTER ASKING THEIR DEALERSHIP AND CALLING THEIR RECALL CENTER, THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST FINANCIALLY WITH THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE, AS THE BEARING COULD SEIZE OR COME APART, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE CONSIDER HAVING TOYOTA ISSUE A RECALL. ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON ONLINE CHAT FORUMS.
