DO YOUR JOB NHTSA. THE 2000-05 TUNDRAS HAVE A BRAKE PROBLEM. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED TO RECALL AN OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA HAS IGNORED? THEY ARE ON THE ROPES NOW FOR SOME OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN IGNORING FOR YEARS. YOU CAN ACT TOUGH AND STRIKE NOW, WHILE THEY ARE UNABLE TO STRIKE BACK. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 2, 2010 AT ABOUT 6:20AM WHILE DRIVING MY TOYOTA TUNDRA 2005 ,V8 ENGINE,ON HIGHWAY 101 WEST BOUND WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ME. I WAS ON LANE ONE BETWEEN BARHAM AVE. & VINELAND AVE WHEN IT ALL HAPPEN, MAKING ME CHANGE LANES AT AN UNSAFE SPEED TRYING IT TO CONTROL IT. I HAD MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT IT KEEP GOING AT ABOUT 75-80 MPH. THERE WAS NO CRUISE CONTROL ON AND I WAS SHOCKED ABOUT THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT ABOUT 1/4 OF A MILE FROM VINELAND AVE. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
THE SPARE WHEEL/TIRE FELL OFF MY 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA AS I PASSED OVER A SPEED BUMP (AT A VERY LOW SPEED) WHILST LEAVING AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. I WAS UNAWARE OF HAVING LOST THE WHEEL BUT MY SON, WHO LIVES IN THE COMPLEX, SAW THE INCIDENT & CALLED ME - BY THE TIME HE CALLED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED - IF THE WHEEL HAD FALLEN OFF WHILST I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. I SUBMITTED A REPORT (CASE # 208366) TO NHTSA 11/25/09 AFTER GOING ON LINE & DISCOVERING THAT CORROSION WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRAME OF THIS VEHICLE & THAT OTHER INCIDENTS OF A SIMILAR NATURE HAD BEEN REPORTED & THAT TOYOTA WERE PREPARING A REMEDY. ON 01/10/10 I CONTACTED MY LOCAL TOYOTA SEALER & WAS ADVISED TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE AT MY CONVENIENCE WHEN THE SPARE WHEEL WOULD BE SAFELY SECURED WITHIN THE TRUCK BED PENDING A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, STEERING
THE RUST ON MY 2000 TUNDRA EXTENDS TO MORE THAN JUST THE REAR CROSS MEMBER THAT MY LOCAL DEALER REPORTED AND TOYOTA IS WILLING TO REPLACE. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TODAY AND A LOT OF THE FRONT END IS RUSTED AWAY. THE STEERING RACK HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF HAVING A HOLE IN IT THAT PUMPS POWER STEERING FLUID ONTO THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO STATED HE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE TO VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 16,000.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EQUIPMENT
TOYOTA TUNDRA 2009: TOYOTA REQUIRING CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE FLOOR MAT THAT SLIDES FORWARD AND JAMS ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ACCELERATING TO SPEED ON ON-RAMP. REMOVED FOOT FROM PEDAL AFTER MERGING ONTO INTERESTATE, BUT VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. HAD TO PRY BACK ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH FOOT AND THEN NOTICED THAT MAT HAD JAMMED ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ALL-WEATHER FLOOR-MAT PURCHASED AS PART OF VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY. REMOVED FLOOR MAT AS INDICATED BY INITIAL RECALL. CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AS PART OF PEDAL/FLOOR MAT RECALL. TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE SEPARATE RETAINER TO SECURE FLOOR-MAT. DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO HAVE A RECALL AND THEN INSIST THAT CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THEIR FAILURES AND DEFECTS. THE SAFETY RETAINER SHOULD HAVE CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. IT DOES IN OTHER VEHICLES.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
FRONT ROTORS KEEP WARPPING. TURNED THE ORIGINAL SET AT 40000, THEN REPLACED THEM WITH SLOTTED ROTORS, WHICH HAVE NOW WARPPED. UNDERSTAND THERE IS A TECHINNCAL SERVICE BULLETIN STATING THE REAR BRAKES DO NOT SELF ADJUST, SUBSEQUENTLY INCREASING THE BRAKE LOAD ON THE FRONT, CAUSING THE WARPPING. THE REAL FIX MIGHT BE TO FIX THE REAR BRAKES. APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE FRONT WHEELS SHUDDER OR SHIMMY OFFICALLY CALLED "PULSATION" INCREASED WHEN BRAKING ON A DOWNHILL OR WITH SOME LOAD IN THE BED. TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THIS!!!

UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE BACKING UP OUT OF A PARKING SPACE ON MY MOTHER'S 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA LIMITED. THE TRUCK HIT TWO PARKED VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT. AS A PASSENGER I REACHED OVER TO TRY TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL BUT THAT WASN'T WORKING SO I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WE STOPPED. THE SECOND VEHICLE WE HIT, A FORD EXPEDITION WAS FORCEFULLY MOVED OVER TO THE NEXT PARKING SPOT DUE TO THE CRASH. 911 WAS CALLED, FIRE DEPT AND AMBULANCE ARRIVED BUT POLICE DID NOT SHOW UP DUE TO THEIR LACK OF STAFF AND NO INJURY/DEATH. *CN

APPROX EVERY 3000 MILES THE ROTORS WARP AND HAVE TO BE REPLACE. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF TRAVELING OR PULLING TRAILERS. I DO NOT DO EITHER AND VERY CAREFUL WITH TRUCK. STILL HAPPENS. DEALER DIDN'T DO THE TSB BEFORE I BOUGHT IT WITH 16,000 MILES ON IT. I DON'T PUT MANY MILES ON IT SO IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN FIRST HAD THE PROBLEM. DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM UNTIL THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED. LOTS OF FORUMS ON THE SAME PROBLEM. NO COOP FROM TOYOTA OR DEALERS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA, V8 ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NOT WORKING WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS IN COLD WEATHER (BELOW FREEZING) SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR, AND THE CHECK ENGINE DASH LAMP COMES ON. THIS REQUIRES THAT I STOP THE TRUCK, TURN OFF THE ENGINE, WAIT APPROXIMATELY 15-20 SECONDS, THEN RESTART THE ENGINE. ONLY THEN CAN I CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THIS SITUATION HAS RESULTED IN THE FOLLOWING: 1. BEING STALLED IN A INTERSECTION WITH A RED LIGHT AND CROSS TRAFFIC COMING AT ME AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE. 2. ENTERING A HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE, AND HAVING A SEMI TRUCK ALMOST REAR END ME. THEN HAVING TO STOP TRAFFIC UNTIL I COULD DRIVE OFF. THE TOYOTA DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR MECHANISM UNDER WARRANTY IN 2002, BUT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THE INCIDENTS ARE RECORDED ON THE TRUCK'S ONBOARD COMPUTER. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4WD, LARGE V8 .WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE I HAVE HAD THREE INSTANCES WERE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED AT A LOW SPEED[2-6MPH].] FURTHER PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WAY BOTH PEDALS WERE PRESSED. I FIND THE ACCELERATOR TO BE VERY TOUCHY. I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO ENGAGE THE AUTO DIFFERENTIAL LOCK TO CONTROL MY ACCELERATION FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IF I DON'T THE ACCELERATOR CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SPIN THE TIRES. I CAN'T HELP FEELING THIS IS RELATED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL COMPONENTS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
