ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY VEHICLE FIRST HAD ITS WIRING HARNESS DESTROYED BY A RODENT OF SOME SORT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. AFTER SENDING IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND $7000 DOLLARS LATER, I BROUGHT MY TRUCK HOME AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. I TRIED MANY REMEDIES TO DISCOURAGE THE RODENTS FROM RETURNING BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO DETER THEM FROM THE SOY BASED INSULATION ON MY TRUCKS WIRING HARNESS. I NOW HAVE TO SEND MY TRUCK BACK FOR REPAIRS TO THE SAME WIRING HARNESS ($7000) AS BEFORE, AND ALSO ANOTHER WIRING HARNESS WHICH WILL PROBABLY COST CLOSE TO THE SAME. HOW CAN TOYOTA GET AWAY WITH MAKING INSULATION OUT OF RODENT FOOD WHEN THESE WIRES OPERATE THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM? THIS PRACTICE NOT ONLY PUTS A FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE OWNER BUT ALSO COMPROMISES THEIR SAFETY. *TR

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE PARTS ARE ON INDEFINITE BACK ORDER!!! I WAS TOLD BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP ON OR AROUND FEB. 27TH 2015 THAT THE PARTS FOR MY 2005 VEHICLE WERE THE ONLY ONES ON BACK ORDER. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

WHEELS
JUST RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED A VERY WEIRD SOUND FROM THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL AREA. I HAD THE LOCAL DEALER IN TWIN FALLS IDAHO LOOK INTO AND FOUND NOTHING, THEY SAID BRAKES WERE GOOD, AND THEY HAD GREASED EVERYTHING. SO AFTER MY SERVICE I FIGURED IT WOULD GO AWAY AND IT DIDN'T. I'VE ALSO PUT NEW TIRES ON FOR THE WINTER SINCE THIS WEIRD RUBBING SOUND HAS STARTED AND IT'S STILL MAKING THE SOUND. I'M NOT SURE IF JUST THE SERVICE GUY KNOWS WHAT HE IS LOOKING FOR, BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL AREA. I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE I CAN DO OR SHOULD DO. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 51000 MILES ON IT. *TR

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA 9SM AND A0F AND TOOK THE TRUCK TO CONKLIN CARS SALINA, LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR THE INSPECTION. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA THESE RECALLS INVOLVE RUST AND CORROSION OF THE FRAME, CROSS MEMBERS, AND FUEL TANK STRAPS. CONKLIN CARS TECH STATED NO DAMAGE, CONKLIN INVOICE #008916 DATED APR 09 2012. JAN 2015 I NOTICED A HOLE IN THE LH FRAME RAIL AND THAT THE REAR FUEL TANK STRAP HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. I CONTACTED CONKLIN CARS AND THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED AT IT AGAIN ON JAN 30TH 2015 AND SAID THAT HE HAD CONTACTED THEIR TOYOTA FACTORY REP. ABOUT THE ISSUES. THE SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED ME THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND TOLD ME THAT THE FACTORY REP. SAID THAT THE CASE WAS CLOSED AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE REPAIR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS RECALL WAS ONLY FOR TRUCKS THAT RESIDED IN NORTHERN STATES AND THIS TRUCK WAS SOLD IN MISSOURI AND KANSAS. LOOKING AT THE FRAME IT IS EVIDENT TO ME THAT THE FRAME HAS HEAVY CORROSION, FLAKING RUST AND THINNING OF THE FRAME RAILS. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED BOTH FUEL TANK STRAPS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE "[XXX]" TOLD ME THAT THE CASE NUMBER WAS #1502062938 AND THAT THE REPAIR WAS TAKEN CARE OF ON APR 23RD 2012 AND WAS CLOSED. I HAD EXPLAINED THAT ALLEGEDLY THERE WAS NO DAMAGE ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN APR 2012 AND LESS THAN 3 YEARS LATER THE STRAPS HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND THERE WERE HOLES IN THE FRAME. AT THIS RATE OF DECAY THE FRAME WILL RUST IN HALF IN LESS THAN 3 MORE YEARS. E. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND COMPLAINED ON FEB 20TH 2015 AND THEY OPENED A NEW CASE #[XXX] AND SHE SAID A CASE MANAGER WOULD CALL. [XXX] M., CASE MANAGER, TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE CALLED FEB 26 AND TOLD ME THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THESE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY ARE ONGOING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CONNECTOR ON THE CABLE FROM THE ECU TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE FROM A STANDING STOP IN A MANNER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THANKFULLY THIS DIDN'T OCCUR WHEN PULLING OUT ON A BUSY STREET. THE SITUATION IS DANGEROUS. THE TRUCK ALREADY HAD A FRAME RECALL DUE TO CORROSION. THIS ISSUE IS SIMILAR AND REPRESENTS A DESIGN FLAW WITH DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND COULD HEAR A METAL ON METAL GRINDING NOISE, HEAVY METAL RATTLE & OCCASIONAL SQUEALING NOISE WHEN I WOULD DRIVE OVER SEWER COVERS OR SMALL BUMPS ON THE ROAD. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE & WAS TOLD THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE LEAF SPRING WAS BROKEN & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS USED AS A PASSENGER VEHICLE. THE HEAVIEST CAMPER IT TOWED WAS APPROXIMATELY 3000 POUNDS. THE TRUCK WAS RATED FOR AN 8300 POUND TOW CAPACITY. UPON INSPECTION IT APPEARED THAT THE LEAF SPRING HAD EXTREME RUST THROUGH & THROUGH. NONE OF THE TECHS AT THE DEALERSHIP HAD EVER SEEN A 3.3 YEAR OLD TRUCK PRESENT WITH THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA USA DECLINED REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR ($970). *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD 2 OCCURRENCES OF UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION. BOTH EVENTS TRANSPIRED AS FOLLOWS: 1) APPLIED BRAKES IN PREPARATION OF STARTING ENGINE AND ENGAGING TRANSMISSION. 2) STARTED ENGINE, PUT IT IN "DRIVE" AND ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND JUMPED FORWARD. 3) I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED BRAKES WITH MAXIMUM EFFORT TO COUNTER THE ACCELERATION. 4) THREW SHIFTER INTO "NEUTRAL" WHILE ENGINE WAS MAXING RPMS, THEN I SHUT DOWN ENGINE. BOTH EVENTS WERE CLOSE CALLS. IF I HAD NOT HAD PRESENCE OF MIND I WOULD HAVE DESTROYED THE VEHICLE AND PROPERTY. VEHICLE WAS EVALUATED BY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY FOUND NO REASON FOR THE EVENTS. I CONTEND THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE AND NEED TO HAVE IT PURSUED. *TR

2014 TUNDRA 1794 EDITION PURCHASED NEW IN MAY 2014 HAS APPROXIMATELY 9400 MILES. THE DASHBOARD IS WARPED & SINKING ALONG LENGTH OF WINDSHIELD. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. MANUFACTURER STATES THIS DEFECT IS WITHIN SPECIFICATION WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES. THE DASHBOARD HAS SANK SO MUCH THAT THERE IS AN IMPRINT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN DASHBOARD THAT IS VISIBLE DUE TO WARPING & SAGGING OF DASHBOARD. I AM CONCERNED IT MAY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IF THE SINKING AND WARPING OF THE DASHBOARD WERE TO CONTINUE. TOYOTA HAD PAST ISSUES WITH WARPED DASHBOARDS ON EARLIER MODELS OF TUNDRA AND HAD ISSUED TSB'S (TSB-0391-09-IMPROVED A-PILLAR GARNISH) IN RESPONSE. IT APPEARS THIS DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN FULLY ADDRESSED AS THEY STATE OTHER NEW TUNDRA'S THEY INSPECTED ON DEALERSHIP LOT HAVE THE SAME WARPED & SINKING DASHBOARD. ADDITIONALLY, A PLASTIC PART ON STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED AFFECTING STEERING AND OPERATION OF VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER (TOYOTA) STATES THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE VEHICLE AND HAS SUGGESTED I PURSUE ARBITRATION UNDER LEMON LAW FOR THE VEHICLE. AT THIS STAGE, ALL I AM ASKING FOR IS FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER (TOYOTA) REFUSES TO DO SO DESPITE KNOWING FULL WELL THERE IS A HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR
