EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON 2007-CURRENT TOYOTA TUNDRA'S ARE VERY BLINDING. EVERY TIME I APPROACH ON OF THOSE TUNDRA'S IT LOOKS AS IF THEIR HIGH BEAMS ARE ON AND I AM ALWAYS CONSTANTLY FLASHING THEM THINKING THEY LEFT THEIR HIGH BEAMS ON, BUT I BECOME SHOCKED WHEN THEY FLASH ME BACK ( WITH THEIR ACTUAL HIGH BEAMS). I DRIVE IN A SUV, SO IF THEY ARE BLINDING ME, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN A CAR! ITS VERY HARD TO TRY STAYING ON ROAD WHEN THEY GO PAST ITS SO BRIGHT, A COUPLE TIMES I ACTUALLY WENT OFF THE ROAD A LITTLE. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUSLY SAFETY ISSUE FOR NIGHT DRIVERS, EVERY SINGLE TUNDRA IS LIKE THIS. NOW I KNOW TRUCK HEADLIGHTS MAY APPEAR TO BE A LITTLE BIT BRIGHTER BECAUSE THEY SIT HIGHER, BUT I HAVE YET TO SEE ANY OTHER TRUCK EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE BRIGHTNESS ON THE TUNDRA'S. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THIS MATTER WAS CHECKED INTO, WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE GONE OFF THE ROAD WHEN THESE UGLY TRUCKS ROLL BY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BRAKES HAVE A SERIOUS BRAKE VIBRATION WHEN APPLIED. IT ORIGINALLY ONLY HAPPENED WHEN GOING DOWN LONG GRADES BUT NOW IT HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME. THE BRAKES AND ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT THAT ONLY FIXES THE ISSUE FOR ABOUT 5K MILES. *TR

2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA INVOLVED IN A REAR-END COLLISION IN DELAWARE WHERE A 4 YEAR OLD GIRL WAS KILLED. INVESTIGATING OFFICER HAS TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO GET TOYOTA TO COME OUT AND INVESTIGATE WHETHER THE GAS PEDAL WAS AN ISSUE AS THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS AND DRIVER DOESN'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED. *TR 9/19/2011*CW

I OWN A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA LTD PICK-UP I BOUGHT NEW . IT WAS RECALLED 10/2009 FOR RUSTING FRAME WORK, IT IS NOW 2/2010 AND TOYOTA HASN'T SENT ANY RECALL NOTIFICATIONS TO ME. MY FRAME IS CORRODED ON THE HUMP OVER THE REAR TIRES,TO THE POINT OF METAL FLAKING OFF APPROXIMATELY A 1/32 TO 1/16 OF AN INCH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRAME. MY QUESTION IS WHEN IS TOYOTA GIVING THE RECALL NOTICE TO US OWNERS? I'M AFRAID THE FRAME MIGHT CRACK WHILE I DRIVING IT !!!!!!!!!!! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA ON THE H3 FREEWAY, CHANGING FROM THE RIGHT LANE TO THE LEFT LANE, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, CRASHED INTO THE CENTER CONCRETE HIGHWAY DIVIDER, AND CONTINUED TO CRASH INTO THE DIVIDER UNTIL IT STOPPED RUNNING. SHE STEPPED ON THE BRAKE THE WHOLE TIME BUT THE TRUCK WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED. WHEN OUR INSURANCE COMPANY INSPECTED THE TRUCK IT FOUND THAT THE REPEATED IMPACT INTO THE CONCRETE BARRIER HAD BENT THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK AND THEN DECLARED THE TRUCK A TOTAL LOSS. AFTER THEY INSPECTED THE TRUCK OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK TO CAUSE IT TO SUDDENLY SPEED UP AND GO OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FILL NECK ON THE GAS TANK IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT GAS INTO MY TRUCK. I MUST USE A SCREWDRIVER AT TIMES TO FILL MY GAS TANK. I FEEL THAT THIS WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AT A SERVICE STATION, BECAUSE THAT IF A SPARK FROM THE SCREWDRIVER BEING FORCED INTO THE FILL NECK COULD IGNITE THE FUMES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE DAY I DROVE MY 2006 TUNDRA OFF OF THE LOT I NOTICED THAT WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP (RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN FOR EXAMPLE) WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY PRESSING ON THE BRAKE, THE RPM'S RISE OUT OF NO WHERE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE TRUCK LUNGES FORWARD WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE REPORTED TO THREE DEALERSHIPS, THOSE THAT I TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE TO, AND THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM. I FIRST COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS DURING THE FIRST WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT THE SERVICE CLERKS INCLUDE THIS IN THE NOTES, AND COMPLAINS SECTIONS WHEN I TAKE IN THE TRUCK. I REQUESTED THIS TO DOCUMENT MY TRUCK'S ACTIONS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH DIFFICULTY; HOWEVER, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND NOTICED THAT TWO OTHER LIGHTS BESIDES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED (HE DID NOT CITE WHICH LIGHTS). WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALER, HE TRIED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL IN THE PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND UNTIL HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TWICE. THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR AND LATER STATED THAT IT WAS THE ECU. THE DEALER CALLED HIM AGAIN AND STATED THAT ONE OF THE LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE WAS BENT AND THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO ASK FOR A NEW VEHICLE AND A REPRESENTATIVE TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS UP TO THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100.

I OWN A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4X4 TRUCK. THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE FRAME ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FRAME HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF HAVING HOLES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AS FRAME FAILURE MAY OCCUR AND CAUSE INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WOULD BE DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IN RECENT PAST, TOYOTA RECALLED THE TACOMA FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA AND CORRECTED IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER. *TR
