TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH SHE NOTICED THAT THE RPMS RAPIDLY INCREASED WITHIN SECONDS AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FROM 60 MPH TO 110 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE CODE; THEREFORE, STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE FLOOR MAT.

DEFECT: 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA RUSTING FRAME. VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW IN 2000 AND PURCHASED RUST PROOFING PACKAGE. FRAME RUST WAS NOTICED IN 2004 AND RETURNED TO RUST PROOFING VENDOR FOR WARRANTY. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRAME AND TO GO BACK TO TOYOTA. TOYOTA AT THE TIME WAS RECALLING TACOMA'S FOR A RUSTING FRAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA TUNDRA'S HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED, BUT TOYOTA WILL ARRANGE INSPECTION AND WILL FIX WITH A GEL APPLICATION (WHEN AVAILABLE) IF RUSTING IS PRESENT. WE FEEL THEY SHOULD HANDLE THIS PROBLEM WITH A RECALL AND OFFER THE CUSTOMER THE SAME OPTIONS AS FOR THE TACOMA RECALL: IF THERE IS NO RUST, AUTOMATICALLY EXTEND WARRANTY TO 15 YEARS, IF THERE IS RUST, THE FRAMES ARE REPLACED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER OR TOYOTA WOULD BUY BACK THE TRUCK AT 150 PERCENT OF THE HIGH KELLY BLUE BOOK VALUE. MY TRUCK HAS UNDER 80,000 MILES ON IT AND I DON'T FEEL THIS PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY ANYTIME SOON. RUST IS FALLING OFF THE TRUCK FRAME STAINING THE GARAGE FLOOR AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH GEL THEY PUT ON, IT WILL NOT LAST. BECAUSE I WAS PRO-ACTIVE IN SCRAPING OFF THE RUST AND APPLYING RUST RESISTOR MYSELF (BECAUSE TOYOTA REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME IN 2004), I HAVE DETERRED THE FRAME FROM RUSTING THROUGH AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT TOYOTA HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TACOMA, I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECT IN THE FRAME MATERIAL FOR THE TUNDRA. *TR

AT LEAST SINCE 2003 TOYOTA HAS HAD MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES WITH STICKING ACCELERATORS. I HAVE A 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT I HAVE TAKEN TO AUTO DEALER TO HAVE WORK DONE TO RESOLVE ISSUE. THEY HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THEIR 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES WITH THEIR CLUNKING UNIVERSALS ON THE SECOND DRIVE SHAFT. TOYOTA FIGHTS OFF THE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS REPEATEDLY AND WILL NOT ADMIT TO THEIR MANY FAULTS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I WAS ABOUT TO COMPLETE PARKING MY 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN A PARKING SPACE AT NORTHAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL, NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE, WENT OVER A CURB AND INTO A CHAIN LINK FENCE DOING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE FENCE AND TRUCK. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE TRUCK AND HITTING THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENOUGH TO STOP THE HIGH ACCELERATION. I FINALLY MADE THE TRUCK STOP BY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO NOT HAVE BEEN HURT. IF THIS HAPPENED A FEW SECONDS EARLIER I WOULD HAVE HIT A GROUP OF STUDENTS WALKING IN THE PARKING LOT.THE STUDENTS WERE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE BEFORE I MADE THE RIGHT TURN INTO THE PARKING SPACE. IT WAS VERY SCARY, I AM VERY NERVOUS NOW DRIVING THE TRUCK. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE IT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY. THEY HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH. NOT RETURNING PHONE CALLS AND NOT MEETING DATES FOR WHAT THEY WILL DO. WHEN I FIRST CONTACTED TOYOTA, THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID TO ME "SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TOYOTA TO DO" AFTER I DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED AND HOW LUCKY I WAS NOT TO BE HURT OR HURTING STUDENTS IN A HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT. I HAVE OWNED TOYOTA VEHICLES SINCE 1970 - THEY SEEM TO HAVE LITTLE CONCERN FOR MY LOYALTY OR THE STRESS THIS INCIDENT HAS CAUSED ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2002 AND 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA BRAKES WARP EVERY 10,000 MILES. I HAVE OWNED A 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA SINCE IT WAS NEW. AT 35,000 MILES, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A BRAKE PROBLEM WITH VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END. MY NORMAL MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT WAS WARPED FRONT BREAK ROTORS AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE GROUND DOWN FLAT. I DID THIS AND THEN EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AT APPROXIMATELY 45,000, 55,000 AND 65,000 MILES. I AM NOW NEARING 75,000 MILES AND THE VIBRATION IS STARTING. I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 10,000 MILES A YEAR AND HAVE HAD HEAVY LOADS ON THE TRUCK ABOUT 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 8 YEARS. MY MECHANIC SHOWED ME A SET OF INSTRUCTIONS THAT MECHANICS HAD FOR UPGRADING TOYOTA TUNDRA BREAKS BECAUSE OF A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH UNDERSIZED FRONT DISC BRAKES AND DRUM BRAKES IN THE BACK AFTER MY LAST BRAKE JOB. I CONTACTED MY TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT BRAKES ARE GENERALLY COVERED AND ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. HOWEVER, THEY WERE AWARE THAT THE BRAKES ON THE 2002 -2003 TUNDRAS HAD A DESIGN PROBLEM AND DID NOT HOLD UP PROPERLY. THEY CONTINUED THAT THE BRAKES HAD BEEN UPGRADED WITH A LABOR ONLY CHARGE FOR ANYONE WHO CONTACTED THEM WITHIN THE FIRST 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THIS BRAKE UPGRADE KIT WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AS A KIT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE THE PARTS SEPARATELY IF I WANTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE COST OF THE PARTS IS OVER $2000 WITHOUT LABOR. THE TOYOTA 800 NUMBER TOLD ME I HAD NO OPTIONS BECAUSE BRAKES ARE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, PERIOD. CURRENTLY, MY ONLY PLAN IS TO CONTINUE TO HAVE MY ROTORS TURNED EVERY 10,000 MILES UNTIL I NEED NEW ONES. HOPEFULLY OTHER TUNDRA OWNERS WILL DO THE SAME OR THEIR SAFETY WILL BE GREATLY COMPROMISED. MY FRONT END SUSPENSION IS ALSO SHOWING WEAR. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE PHYSICAL PEDAL SEEMS TO STICK WHEN PRESSURE IS REDUCED (SLOWING OR DECELERATING) BUT POPS FREE ONCE MOST OF THE PRESSURE HAS BEEN RELEASED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. I DID NOT RETURN IT TO THE DEALER, INSTEAD I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY AND APPLY SEVERAL DROPS OF WD40 TO THE PIVOT SHAFT AND BUSHING. AFTER WORKING THE PEDAL A FEW TIMES AND RE-INSTALLING BACK INTO THE VEHICLE, THE PEDAL SEEMED TO OPERATE NORMALLY FOR UP TO 4 TO 5 MONTHS BEFORE STARTING TO STICK ONCE MORE. NOTE: THE VEHICLE NEVER ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN NOR DID THE PEDAL NOT RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION. *TR

VEHICLE ACCELERATION - HAVE A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2006 AND IT HAD ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I PRESSED BOTH FEET DOWN ON THE BRAKES AND TURNED THE VEHICLE WHICH MADE ME GO UP ON A SIDEWALK. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HIT A WALL BUT IT DID NOT. I THEN CAME HOME AND CALLED THE PLACE THAT WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN FOR ANOTHER RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. UPON PICKING UP THE TRUCK WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE ACCELERATION. I NOW SEE THAT TOYOTA IS HAVING SUCH A PROBLEM SO I WANTED TO REPORT THIS. I AM JUST SO HAPPY THAT I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND I AM NOW SO WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THIS TRUCK. *TR

CHRISTMAS EVE 2008 MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING OUR 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA FROM BEL AIR MARYLAND TO LADSON, SC. JUST OUTSIDE OF COLONIAL HTS, VA., I TOOK THE TUNDRA OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE I WAS APPROACHING A TRACTOR TRAILER IN FRONT OF ME BUT THE TUNDRA KEPT ACCELERATING TOWARD THE SEMI. I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET TO SLOW THE TUNDRA DOWN SO I COULD MOVE INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND EVENTUALLY STOP IT ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF I95. I TRIED TO CALL AAA BUT WAS UNABLE TO CORRECTLY DIAL MY CELL PHONE AS I WAS STILL TOO EXCITED DUE TO THE RUSH OF ADRENALINE I HAD EXPERIENCED. MY WIFE AND I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL SO ONCE I CALMED DOWN WE CONTINUED OUR DRIVE TO SC. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE LADSON OR SUMMERVILLE TOYATA DEALER WHO KEPT IT THAT DAY AND FINALLY CALLED TO SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG. AT THE TIME I STILL THOUGHT IT WAS A CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE BUT NOW I BELIEVE IT WAS PART OF THE TOYOTA ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE TRUCK AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANOTHER INCIDENT SINCE THE ONE IN DECEMBER 2008*CW

2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB SR5 TRANSMISSION MOUNT HAS 4 BOLTS AND A PLASTIC CENTERING PIECE 3 OF THE BOLTS HAD WORKED THEIR WAY OUT AND THE 4TH WAS HALF WAY OUT CENTERING PIECE WAS LOOSE AND FLOATING IN THE CROSSBEAM TIGHTENED THE ONE BOLT WENT TO BOB TYLER TOYOTA IN PENSACOLA, FL. ALL THAT WAS ASKED OF MEWAS DID I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I SAID NO I THOUGHT THE TUNDRA WAS COVERED FOR 100,000 MILES. BESIDES I CONSIDERED THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE MY TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE BECOME DISCONNECTED AND CAUSED A WRECK OR WORSE. I CONSIDER THIS UNACCEPTABLE AND THE ATTITUDE OF THE ASSOCIATE WAS UNCONCERNED. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS? TW*

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HARD TO STOP WITH A/C OR HEADLIGHTS ON. ENGINE IDLES NORMALLY 5-600 RPM, UNTIL PARKING LIGHTS OR A/C IS TURNED ON. THEN IT IDLES AT 800 RPM IN GEAR. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN REAR ENDED, AFTER COMING TO A STOP. IF DRIVING SURFACE IS SLIPPERY AND PUT INTO GEAR WITH HEAD LIGHTS ON, THE REAR TIRES WILL BEGIN TO SPIN, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURENCE THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERS WITH NO RELIEF. ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THAT THE COMPUTER SAYS EVERYTHING IS OKAY. TURNING THE PARKING LIGHTS ON DOES NOT CAUSE ENOUGH LOAD ON THE ENGINE TO WARRANT THE EXTRA 200 OR MORE RPM. THE OTHER DAY ( 01/26/2010 ) I WAS TURNING AROUND IN A MUDDY DRIVEWAY AND WHILE IDLING I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. I LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE TRUCK WENT STRAIGHT, EVEN AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES, LEAVING TWO BIG RUTS THROUGH MY FRIENDS YARD. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE GROUND BEING SLIPPERY AND THE HIGH IDLE SPEED. I AM SURE THAT THIS WILL CUT DOWN ON THE LIFE OF THE BRAKES. 4.7 V8 ENGINE *CN

I PURCHASED A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH ONLY 107K MILES ON THE ODO. THIS WAS JUST BEFORE TOYOTA ANNOUNCED A MINOR RUST RECALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TO MY SURPRISE THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS COMPROMISED. I HAVE NOW BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE SINCE THE 28TH OF DEC BECAUSE MY LOW MILEAGE TRUCK WAS DEEMED UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. TOYOTA HAS YET TO OFFER A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE VEHICLE WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON ITS ON AND THEN PROCEED TO MOVE FORWARD, THROWING HER VIOLENTLY BACK INTO HER SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER INVESTIGATED FURTHER AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO REPAIR THE FAILURE; THEREFORE, THEY WERE RELEASING THE VEHICLE TO HER. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNDER 5,800.

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA, V8 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THE IDLE GOES TO A HIGH RATE OF RPM. IF YOU PLACE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, IT WILL LURCH FORWARD IF THE BRAKES ARE NOT FIRMLY PRESSED. THE RPM IS HIGHER IN THE WINTER. THE DEALER STATES, THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND A PART OF THE COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM. I CONSIDER THIS A POTENTIAL HAZARD. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN EVIDENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE NEW VEHICLE IN 2006. *TR

WHILE WASHING THE UNDERSIDE OF MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN A COMMERCIAL SELF-SERVICE CAR WASH NUMEROUS PIECES OF SEVERELY RUSTED FLAKES OF STEEL CAME OFF MY FRAME. THE LARGEST PIECES WERE THE SIZE OF A MOTORCYCLE LICENSE PLATE. THESE PIECES CAME OFF FROM THE MAIN FORE AND AFT FRAME MEMBERS FORWARD OF THE BACK TIRES. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT NOT ONLY THE AFOREMENTIONED MAIN FRAME MEMBERS WERE SEVERELY RUSTED BUT THAT THE CROSS-MEMBER FRAME PIECES WERE ALSO VERY RUSTED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRAME HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BY THIS SEVERE RUSTING. *TR
