TIRES
AT 25000 MILES THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2010 TOYOTA TUNRDA DUE TO POOR OUTSIDE WEAR. I ROTATE AND MONITOR MY TIRE PRESSRE REGULALY. THE DEALER CHECKED THE SUSPENSION AND SAID THERE WAS NOT ISSUE WITH IT, YET THEY REPLACED THE RACK STEERING AT 27000 MILES. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE TIRES AND HAD THE VEHICLE ALIGNED AND THEY ARE ALREARY WORN OUT AGAIN WITH 10000 MILES ON THEM. ANY NEWER TUNDRA I SEE ON THE ROAD SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH VARIOUS TIRE BRANDS HIGH END OR NOT. IE MICHELIN, TOYO, BRIDGESTONE. *TT

SERVICE BRAKES
I GOT INTO TRUCK TO DRIVE AND HAD NO BRAKES. THEY HAD "GONE" OUT OVERNIGHT. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND WE FOUND OUT THAT A BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED OUT. LESS THAN THREE MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENDED AGAIN. NOW IT IS AN ADDITIONAL TWO LINES THAT HAVE RUSTED OUT. TOYOTA IS TELLING US THAT ITS NORMAL AND NOT UNEXPECTED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITH A TRUCK THAT HAS ALMOST 50,000 MILES ON IT. IN ADDITION, SINCE THERE ARE SEVERAL BRAKE LINES ON THE TRUCK, THE OTHERS COULD GO AT ANY TIME. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFELY HAZARD AS THE BRAKES COULD STOP WORKING AT ANYTIME THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN.

STEERING:RACK AND PINION:RACK, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
FORTUNATELY I WAS OFF THE INTERSTATE WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE...........THE STEERING SUDDENLY BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN, ACTUALLY CAUSING ME TO TURN INTO THE OUTGOING LANE AT THE STORE ENTRANCE. THERE WAS NO ADVANCED WARNING....JUST NO STEERING ON TURNS AND NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESEVOIR. THE TOYOTA DEAL SAYS THE STEERING RACK NEEDS REPLACEMENT.($1600)......AND COULD NOT EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHERE THE FLUID WENT. THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A 300,000 MILE VEHICLE, NOW STANDS AT 116,457. HAD TO REPLACE A STABILIZER AS WELL DUE TO CORROSION. I JUST SOLD MY 1997 GRAND AM WITH 224,000. AND MY 1988 DODGE CARAVAN HAD 244,000 BEFORE THE TRANSMITION WENT. TOYOTA AND RELIABILITY???????? *JS

SERVICE BRAKES
THE FRONT BRAKES CAUSE THE WHOLE TRUCK TO SHAKE WHILE STOPPING. FIRST SET OF ROTORS WERE INSTALLED FEBRUARY 2010, WITHIN 6 MONTHS SAME PROBLEM. SECOND SET INSTALLED AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED WITHIN 6 MONTHS. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE EVERY 6 MONTHS AND THE TRUCK IS BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DUE TO PREMATURE CORROSION (VEHICLE 4 YEARS OLD) PARKING BRAKE FAILED TO FUNCTION, FAILED NYS INSPECTION, WAS REPAIRED (03/14/2005). DUE TO PREMATURE CORROSION, SPRING BROKE, WAS REPAIRED (01/02/2008). POWER STEERING RACK ROTTED, HAD TO BE REPLACED. APPROX MILEAGE 150,000. FRONT SUSPENSION LINKS ROTTED OUT. CALLED TOYOTA (04/15/2009) VOICED OUR CONCERN FOR ROTTING FRAME, NO RECALL AT THAT TIME. THEY ISSUED A COMPLAINT #.TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION FOR THREE RECALLS, A0F, B0D, 90M ON 05/02/2012. INSPECTION NOT PROPERLY DONE, CHUNKS OF RUST STILL CAN BE FLAKED OFF, POSSIBLE HOLES BEHIND, BUT THEY SPRAYED CRC OVER TOP OF THE LOOSE SCALING, COVERING OVER THE PROBLEMS. WE HAD NO CHOICE IN WHAT THEY WERE DOING WITH OUR PROPERTY. WE TOOK IT IN FOR AN INSPECTION. AFTER SAID INSPECTION, IF IT WOULD NOT GET A NEW FRAME, WE WOULD HAVE OPTED TO TAKE IT HOME, REMOVED ALL LOOSE SCALING PRIOR TO THE CRC BEING APPLIED. WE WERE NOT GIVEN ANY OPTIONS, OUR VEHICLE WAS ALREADY ON THE WAY TO THEIR COLLISION SHOP FOR THE WORK. THIS WOULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED TWO THINGS; THE DEALERSHIP WOULD KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT THERE WERE NO HOLES AND THE CRC WOULD STICK DIRECTLY TO THE FRAME MINIMIZING FUTURE CORROSION (THAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RECALL AFTERALL) I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND VOICED MY CONCERN WITH A SPRAY COVERING OVER THE PROBLEM, AND THE TRUCK NOT BEING SAFE. MY CASE IS STILL PENDING, BUT BASED ON THE INITIAL CALL BACK FROM THE CASE MANAGER, IT IS NOT LOOKING LIKE THERE WILL BE A RESOLUTION IN OUR FAVOR, WE WILL SEE. MY CONCERN IS, HOW MANY OF THESE TOYOTA DEALERS ARE NOT THOROUGHLY INSPECTING THESE TRUCKS, SPRAYING OVER THE PROBLEMS AND PUTTING THESE VEHICLES BACK ON THE ROADS. HOW SAFE IS THAT? *TR

2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING SEVERE CORROSION OF THE REAR CROSS MEMBER *TGW THE CONSUMER COMPLIED WITH THE RECALL NOTICE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. AN INSPECTION REVEALED, THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CONSUMER WAS GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE. HOWEVER, A DAY IN A HALF LATER, THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED TO RETURN THE LOANER AND TO PICK UP HIS VEHICLE BECAUSE TOYOTA WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS ACCORDING TO A CARFAX REPORT. TOYOTA ADVISED THE CONSUMER ONCE HE CONTACTED CARFAX TO HAVE THEM DELETE THE VEHICLE AS BEING A TOTAL LOSS, THEY WOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *JB

REAR DRIVER SIDE LEAF SPRING BROKE. THE LEAF SPRING WAS EXTREMELY RUSTY. IT WAS A SINGLE SPRING OUT OF THE FOUR. I HAVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR RUST ON THE FRAME AND HAVE HAD THE GAS TANK STRAPS REPLACED. IS THIS A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE STEEL TOYOTA USES FOR THE FRAMES OF THEIR VEHICLES? I THINK IT'S TIME THAT THE NHTSA START FORCING RECALLS BEYOND SPRAYING ON RUST PROOFING. SO FAR THE PEOPLE REPORTING TO YOU HAVEN'T BEEN INJURED, BUT THEN I GUESS THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. *TR
