TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I HAVE RECENTLY HAD 3 DEFECTIVE PIRELLI SCORPION STR TIRES. ALL 3 "BUBBLED" FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. I HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE TIRES REPLACED. THE DEALER IS SENDING THEM BACK TO THE MANUFACTURE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IN MARCH 2010, I PURCHASED A NEW TOYOTA TUNDRA 2010 CREWMAX 5.7L TRUCK FULLY LOADED WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM, REMOTE START, AND GUIDEPOINT (LOJACK LIKE) SYSTEM FROM EXPRESSWAY TOYOTA IN DORCHESTER, MA. THE TRUCK WAS SUPPOSEDLY MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY 2010 AND HAD THE REVISED GAS PEDAL. ON MARCH 23, THE INCIDENT BELOW OCCURRED. WAS DRIVING TO WORK FROM READING, MA TO CHARLESTOWN, MA (ABOUT 13 MILES) ON TUESDAY, MARCH 23. IT WAS A RAINY DAY AND TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY. I HAD THE DEFROSTER AND WIPERS ON AND WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY MAIN STREET ABOUT 10 MILES INTO THE TRIP. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY SO I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO ALSO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY. THAT OTHER CAR WAS ABOUT 10 FEET IN FRONT OF ME. I BARELY TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THE TRUCK TOOK OFF AT FULL ACCELERATION. I GOT ON THE BRAKE AS HEAVY AS I COULD AND THE TRUCK FISH TAILED SIDE TO SIDE. I QUICKLY PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN PARK WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL REVVING AT FULL ACCELERATION. WHILE IT WAS IN PARK AND ENGINE STILL GOING FULL SPEED I TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY FOOT AND IT RELEASED. I WAS VERY LUCKY I DIDN'T CRASH INTO ANYTHING. I DID SMELL A BURNING ODOR ONCE I GOT THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WAS THE TIRES, BRAKE PADS OR SOMETHING ELSE. *TR

I OWN A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED FROM AN OWNER IN BURLINGTON VERMONT ON 10/4/07. THE TRUCK IS GARAGED IN CONCORD NH. I TOOK THE TRUCK FOR AN ANNUAL INSPECTION AS REQUIRED BY NH ON 3/31/10. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE UNINSPECTABLE NEXT YEAR. THE ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT I HAVE A FRAME INSPECTION PERFORMED BY TOYOTA DUE TO THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE FRAME AND CROSS MEMBERS. I TOOK THE TUNDRA TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR THE INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TUNDRA HAD FRAME DAMAGE (RUST THROUGH HOLES) AND WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I WAS SUPPLIED WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE AND THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER REPORTING PHONE NUMBER. I FILED A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA ON 4/1/10. TOYOTA CALLED ME 4/5/10 AND SAID THAT THEY WILL SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I AM WAITING FOR A DETERMINATION FROM TOYOTA ON WHAT, IF ANY ACTION THEY WILL TAKE. THE BODY, BED AND ENGINE OF THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH 132K MILES. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA INTO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR MY ANNUAL NY STATE INSPECTION I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT PASS NYS INSPECTION. THE REASON GIVEN WAS DUE TO A RUST HOLE IN THE FRAME ON THE RIGHT SIDE, FRONT, NEXT TO THE SWAY BAR. (BY THE WAY, THE SPARE TIRE CROSS MEMBER WAS NOT IN NEED OF REPLACING). I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR TOYOTA TO CALL ME BACK A SECOND TIME, TO TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO FOR ME ON THIS 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T LEGALLY DRIVE IN NEW YORK STATE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TOOK VEHICLE TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON 3-1-10 FOR ACCELERATOR RECALL REPAIR. ON 3-13-10, DURING NORMAL OPERATION, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD CAME ON AND SOME WERE FLASHING AS FOLLOWS: VSC OFF-FLASHING, SLIP INDICATOR-STEADY ON, 4HI-FLASHING, 4 LO-FLASHING, ABS-STEADY ON. I STOPPED VEHICLE AND TURNED IGNITION OFF. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, ALL WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER THE SAME CONDITION OCCURRED, SAME WARNING LIGHTS. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS CONDITION AND TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS THE SAME CONDITION SEEMED TO RECUR EVERY TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE. ON 3-15-10 THE DEALERSHIP PICKED UP MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. THEY RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO ME THE SAME DAY AND TOLD ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT AS THEY HAD TO ORDER PARTS (RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR) AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN TO SCHEDULE REPAIR. OVER THE NEXT 9 DAYS (WAITING FOR PARTS), CONDITION SEEMED YET EVEN WORSE, UNEVEN "JERKY" ACCELERATION, UNEXPECTED ABS ACTIVATION AND/OR BRAKING. INERMITTANTLY THERE WOULD SOMETIMES BE WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GRINDING AND/OR CLUNKING NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE IT COULD BE COMING FROM THE BRAKES AND/OR TRANSMISSION. ON 3-24-10 THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP RECEIVED THE PARTS (RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR) AND INSTALLED THE SAME. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. TO DATE (3-31-10) THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STILL HAS MY VEHICLE, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, WIRING HARNESS TO THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND STATED TODAY THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS FROM THE ABS MODULATOR TO THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. I ALSO SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY (3-31-10) AND HE STATED THEY WOULD NOT RETURN MY VEHICLE TO ME UNTIL THE PROBLEMS ARE REPAIRED AS IT IS A "SAFETY HAZARD".
