FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I WAS ACCELERATING AT AROUND 20 MPH AND MY TRUCK (2001 TUNDRA V8) FELT AS IF THE FUEL CUT OUT. I LET OFF THE THROTTLE AND GOT BACK INTO IT AND THE TRUCK LEAPED FORWARD AS IF IT RECEIVED A SHOT OF GAS. IT ACCELERATED, BUT THE TRUCK WOULD STOP ACCELERATING INTERMITTENTLY AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CEL CAME ON AS WELL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EQUIPMENT
APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS AGO I HAD THE ACCELERATOR RECALL REPAIR WORK COMPLETED ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA, AFTER, I NOTICED RANDOMLY WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, INTERSECTION ETC. I WOULD ACCELERATE THE TRUCK WOULD FEEL AS IF SOME ONE PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL, AND THEN HIT THE BRAKE. IT STARTED OUT VERY MILD. AND I THOUGH IT MAY HAVE JUST BEEN ME CAUSING IT. ON 11 MAY 2010 WHILE TAKING MY 4YR OLD TO DAYCARE IT DID IT AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME IT WAS VERY HARD. THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSED MY HEAD, AS WELL AS MY SONS TO GO BACK AND HIT OUR HEAD REST. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED THREE TIMES IN A ROW. IT WAS AS IF WE WERE RIDING A BUMPY ROLLER COASTER RIDE. *TR

STEERING
WE OWN A 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 47,000 MILES ON IT AND ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS. ON FRIDAY WHILE PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE IN A PARKING LOT, THE SHIFT MECHANISM SNAPPED OFF IN MY HAND. OUR CERTIFIED TOYOTA MECHANIC CAME AND MANAGED TO GET IT INTO DRIVE AND DRIVE IT TO HIS SHOP,AND IN OPENING THE STEERING COLUMN, FOUND THE ENTIRE THING WAS BROKEN WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN. OUR MECHANIC, WHO IS A CERTIFIED TOYOTA MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. AS WITH ANOTHER COMPLAINT LODGED ON THIS PROBLEM, IT IS NOT AS IF THE MECHANISM HAS EXPERIENCED ROUGH HANDLING IN ANY WAY. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I OWN A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA. IT IS MY WORK TRUCK, SO I DRIVE IT A LOT! IT HAS 184K MILES. I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL FOR THE CROSS MEMBERS BEING CORRODED, SO I WENT OUT TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE. WHAT I FOUND WAS ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING! NOT ONLY WERE THE CROSS MEMBERS RUSTED ALMOST COMPLETELY IN TWO, BUT THERE WERE VERY LARGE HOLES RUSTED OUT OF THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK. I DROVE THE TRUCK AN HOUR AND A HALF TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE SAID THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR. TOYOTA HAS GIVEN US LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW LONG THE REPAIR WILL TAKE OR WHAT ALL THEY WILL BE DOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE SAID THE PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE AND IT WILL TAKE OVER A MONTH TO GET THE NEW FRAME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND MAKING A LEFT TURN. I REALIZED THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE RADIO WAS STILL ON THE HEADLIGHT AND HORN WORKED. I SWITCHED THE BATTERY OUT WITH A NEW ONE. THE ENGINE WOULD STILL NOT START. I WOULD TURN THE KEY AND ONLY THE RADIO WOULD TURN ON. NO NOISE OR RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE COULD BE HEARD WITH OLD AND NEW BATTERY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALER, THEY REPLACED WHAT THEY SAID WAS A BLOWN OUT IGNITION FUSE. AS I DROVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT FROM THE TOYOTA DEALER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN EXACTLY HOW IT HAD OCCURRED BEFORE. I WAS LESS THAN ONE BLOCK FROM THE DEALER WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE TOYOTA DEALER. *TR

ON OR ABOUT APRIL 24TH, 20010 MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA PICK UP TRUCK WHEN THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF THE MOUNT UNDER THE TRUCK. I HAD BEEN AWARE OF SOME RUST PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT DOING MUCH ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT THIS TIME, DUE TO ALL THE GAS PEDAL PROBLEMS THEY ARE CURRENTLY HAVING AT TOYOTA. AFTER BRINGING MY TRUCK HOME I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RUST. EVEN THE CROSSMEMBER THAT SUPPORTS THE GAS TANK APPEARS VERY RUSTY AND IS OF CONCERN TO ME NOW. I WON'T FILL MY GAS TANK BEYOND HALF A TANK ANYMORE. I INTEND TO GO TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND DEMAND THAT THEY INSPECT MY TRUCK FOR SAFETY REASONS. *TR
