ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY TUNDRA HAS 48048 MILES ON IT. I TOOK MY TUNDRA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A OIL LEAK IN THE CAM TOWER. THE COST TO FIX IT WAS $2850. IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I DID A LITTLE SEARCHING AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED FREQUENTLY IN THIS ENGINE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD, AFTER THEY CONSULTED WITH THE DEALER, THAT THE PROBLEM WASN'T A DEFECT, BUT CAUSED BY ENGINE WEAR AND ALTITUDE. THEY OFFERED TO PAY FOR PARTS, WHICH WERE $420. IF IT IS REALLY ENGINE WEAR, I EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. IN TALKING TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THIS IS A ONE TIME FIX, AND IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT HERE. EITHER IT IS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE AND THIS REPAIR WILL FIX IT. OR IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND THIS WILL KEEP HAPPENING. I FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA SHOULD FIX, SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. MANY PEOPLE REPORTED IT HAPPENING WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. MINE JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE OCCURRED AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. EITHER WAY, IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO HAVE THIS HAPPENING IN THIS ENGINE WITH LOW MILEAGE. APPARENTLY THE OIL LEAKS DOWN FROM THE ENGINE ONTO THE EXHAUST PART OF THE VEHICLE AND CAN CAUSE FIRES. IT ALSO CAN LEAK OUT AND CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE IF THE OIL GETS TOO LOW. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME.

THE PASSENGER REAR LEAF SPRING BROKE, AND I BELIEVE COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE ROAD OR INTO THE TIRE OF THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED IT VIA NOISE, AND TOOK ACTION BEFORE ANYTHING BAD HAPPENED.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA NEW. I RECENTLY NOTICED SIGNIFICANT RUST IN THE BED OF MY TRUCK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THE RUST IS ALSO IN THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES OF TOYOTA TRUCKS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER MY MODEL AND YEAR ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THESE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID YES THIS IS A PROBLEM WE KNOW ABOUT HOWEVER YOURE OUT OF THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD AND WE WILL NOT COVER THE DAMAGE. THE PROBLEM WITH THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS THAT THE START OF THE ISSUE IS COMPLETELY HIDDEN AND THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE AND YOU'RE OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK IS QUITE RUSTED AND WILL CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THERE ARE TWO DISTINCT RUST SPOTS IN THE BED WHERE THE FRAME ATTACHES TO IT. THE ONE SPOT WHICH IS WORSE ACTUALLY HAS A HOLE IN THE METAL BOTTOM OF THE BED. I CAN'T GET PICTURES OF THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK BUT I DID INCLUDE PICTURES OF THE TWO RUST SPOTS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BED. THE TWO SPOTS ARE LOCATED TOWARD THE CAB AND ARE IN THE SAME SPOT OF THE BED BUT ON OPPOSITE SIDES. I LIVE IN A VERY DRY CLIMATE SO FLOODING AND HUMIDITY ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF THIS RUST. YOU CAN TELL FROM THE LOCATION OF THE SPOTS THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

WHEN AT A DEAD STOP, SOMETIMES THE TRUCK WILL LURCH FORWARD SLIGHTLY AS IF HIT FROM BEHIND. IT IS VERY SCARY AS I LET BOTH OF MY CHILDREN BORROW THE VEHICLE AT TIMES. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING ON RECORD OF THIS TYPE COMPLAINT. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS BUT I FINALLY FOUND THIS SIGHT TO REGISTER MY COMPLAINT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO DISPLAY THE VSC (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL) LIGHT, CONSTANTLY ON, LAST WEEK WHEN I TURNED IT ON. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ALSO BECAME CONSTANTLY ON. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS GIVING THE FOLLOWING CODES: C1203 - ECM COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT C1232 - DECELERATION SENSOR C1336 - ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF DECELERATION SENSOR UNDONE THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO RE-FLASH THE COMPUTER AND CALIBRATE AFFECTED ITEMS BUT IF IT WASN'T POSSIBLE THAT THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, YAW SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT, TOTALING $1305. 2 HOURS LATER HE CALLED ME BACK TO TELL ME THAT THEY COULDN'T RE-FLASH THE COMPUTER AND THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, YAW SENSOR BUT THE ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY, TOTALING OVER $2700. I'M REPORTING THIS SINCE I'VE SEEN A BUNCH OF SIMILAR CASES BUT NOTHING CONCRETE FROM TOYOTA. I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THIS ISSUE IS UN-SAFE OR NOT SINCE THERE ARE NO PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS EXCEPT NOT HAVING ABS NOR TRACTION CONTROL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY DOOR LOCKS ARE FAILING. I HAVE HAD ALL THE MECHANISMS THAT LOCK AND UNLOCK MY DOORS REPLACED IN 6/2014. I HAD THE DRIVERS DOOR MECHANISM REPLACED A SECOND TIME IN 5/2015. NOW, THE DRIVER DOOR MECHANISM IS FAILING. IF IT IS LOCKED, I CANNOT UNLOCK; IF IT IS UNLOCKED, I CANNOT LOCK IT VIA "ELECTRICAL" FUNCTION. IE: KEY FOB OR DOOR SWITCH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OCCUPANTS WHEN NEEDING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE IF IN UNSAFE AREAS. THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN SOMEONE EXITS AND LEAVES A LOVE ONE INSIDE CREATES AN ISSUE. WE ALL TELL OUR LOVE ONES, "LOCK THE DOORS UNTIL I RETURN" WHEN WE MAKE A QUICK RUN INTO A STORE, ETC. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY WIFE JUST THE OTHER DAY. SCARRY!!!

ENGINE
I BOUGHT MY 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA BRAND NEW IN FEB. 2010, DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT TOYOTA DEALER RECENTLY, ENGINE OIL LEAKING WAS NOTICED BY THE TECHNICIAN. THE REPAIR WAS DONE TO RESEAL BOTH CAM BOX HOUSINGS AND REPLACED SEALS AND GASKETS THAT ARE RELATED. IT COSTED OVER $1800. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE JUST PASSED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, SINCE IT HAS BEEN 5 YEAR AND 11 MONTHS, BUT THE MILEAGE IS AT 38,000, RELATED LOW. I HAVE CONTACED TOYOTA US HEADQUARTER, TOLD THEM THE OIL LEAKING MOST LIKELY STARTED BEFORE 5 YEARS MARK, BUT IT WAS JUST DISCOVERED NOW. THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE THE REPAIR COST. THE DEALER SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN MANY TUNDRA HAD THIS OIL LEAK ISSUE, AND MOST OF THEM WERE WITHIN WARRANTY, SO THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SO FAR, I ALSO DID RESEARCH ON INTERNET, FOUND OTHER PEOPLE HAD THIS OIL LEAK ISSUE FOR THEIR 2010 TUNDRA AND 2011 TUNDRA. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY LET TOYOTA DO A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS GAUGE IS NO LONGER GIVING ACCURATE READINGS OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE GAS TANK. THE GAS WAS AT 1/4 OF A TANK AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT IT COMPLETELY DIED ON ME. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER THE AAA GUY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE FUEL PUMP MIGHT HAVE GONE OUT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID HE JUST FIXED THE SAME PROBLEM BUT ON A TOYOTA SEQUOIA WHICH IT ENDED UP BEING THE GAS GAUGE NOT READING HOW MUCH GAS IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. AFTER INSPECTION OF MY TRUCK HE SAID THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE THE TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAD THAT HE FIXED . MY TRUCK IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT, IT SHOULDN'T BE GIVING ME THESE PROBLEMS ALREADY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FLOOR VENTS FOR THE HVAC JUST STOPPED WORKING. NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO HEAT GOING TO THE FRONT FLOOR VENTS. TRIED ALL THE OTHER VENT SETTINGS AND THEY ALL WORK FINE AS WELL AS THE AUTO SETTING, NOT A GOOD THING TO BE DOING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND WINTER ROAD CONDITIONS. THE DEALER LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND REPAIRS START AT 500.00 # 87106D JUST FOR THE ACTUATORS TO BE REPLACED. IT COULD ALSO BE THE WHOLE HVAC UNIT # 87050, 2100.00. CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE ISSUE. CASE # 1511280769 IF THE WINDOW DEFROST VENTS FAIL IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN COLD TEMPS.
