UNKNOWN OR OTHER, AIR BAGS
The frame haas already been repaired, at the suggestion of my inspection mechanic. The whole frame is dangerously rusted. Now he says, “get rid of it—it’s dangerous to drive!” Another problem, the air bag fault light won’t stay off! Parts in the steering column have been replaced, to no avail! Toyota did that work. No one knows if my air bag will work or not!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
Rear fuel tank strap bracket detached from frame. Bracket appears to have corroded and detached at its frame weld without warning. Tank dropped about 3 inches down at rear and was barely supported by the front tank support strap and the flexible fill hose, which appeared to prevent it from shifting. The fill hose is attached to the tank via a stainless steel clamp. The tank could have dropped from vehicle when I was on the highway, before I was even aware of the issue. I happened to see something sagging when I was walking to my vehicle. It appears that the tank bracket would be very difficult to inspect, and I believe I had the vehicle inspected for a corrosion recall about 2-3 years ago. I was lucky I observed the tank when I did, it may have broken 1 or 2 days before I even noticed it. Attached photo shows the corroded detached bracket assembly. I was able to temporarily resupport the tank under the existing strap.

TOYOTA TUNDRA 2004first. I'M the 2nd owner of this truck and my deceased father was the This truck has been treated like a baby, garage kept, never late on oil changes etc. Everything is in superior condition except for the frame is now completely rusted out. The rusted rear frame has affected the rear brake lines and the proportioning valve along with the passenger side ball joint and cv axle were damaged. Tie rods and sway bar stabilizers were all worn and broken as well. After my father died of cancer there was a crc campaign for undercoat spray which my mom supposedly had it done April 2014. That did nothing besides cover up the existing rust and increase the break down of the frame. It felt like my breaks were going out so took it to the closest mechanic for him say not only the brakes but my frame is completely rotten and rusted out.. he also stated he saw no signs of it being sprayed and Voss toyota in beavercreek ohio wasn't able to provide verification that it was indeed done because there records are gone after 4 years. It was noted it was done but who knows.

I'm the second owner of this 2004 Toyota truck, my father was the first. This truck has been babied since my dad drove it off the lot. Everything is in superior condition except for the frame, it has almost completely rusted off. My dad passed away and this is all I have of his. Back in 2014 , it was sprayed with a rust prevention as part as the Toyota campaign which did nothing besides cover the already existing rust and increase the breakdown of the frame. Google is filled with hundreds of people saying the same thing and I don't understand how Toyota is getting away with this.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SWITCHING VALVE FAILED WHILE CHANGING LANES CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO GO INTO CREEP MODE AND ALMOST CAUSE A COLISION WITH VEHICLE BEHIND ME DUE TO NO POWER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS AND RE OCCURING ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SOME TIME AND I AM JUST NOW BEING MADE AWARE OF IT BY TOYOTA WHO CLAIMS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. COULD HAVE DIED IN THIS CAR INCIDENT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
3 times in the last few mos the BRAKE! warning came on. Nothing was causing this warning to engage. This happened again today. Another issue is when the Valdosta Toyota (GA) dealer attempted to fix the fuel pump recall on 22 JUL 2020 it was assembled incorrectly. I called the dealership and told them to come and get my Tundra because gas was dripping onto my driveway. They sent a tow truck and it was supposedly fixed and they brought it back to me in about 2 hrs. It really does run the way it did before they “re-fixed” it. Very often now when it is driving I feel something like a failing fuel pump. It fades away but it is not comfortable taking it long distances. It feels like there is a clog in the fuel system or something, although there is not. I have 33,400 miles on it today and I can’t help but wonder if Valdosta Toyota didn’t just exchange the original fuel pump with a different used one?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Right headlight leveling motor failed causing headlight to point at the ground. I now have limited night time visibility on a 13,000 mi. vehicle. Toyota does not offer a replacement part nor do aftermarket sellers. A Youtube video of one of these dismantled motors shows a cheapest of the cheap device. Auto manufacturers should not be allowed to use cheaply made items to point headlights! Dealer refused warranty and wants $500+ for a new headlight that will last 13,000 mi. When the left side fails, I will no longer be able to drive at night. This is beyond absurd that a manufacturer is allowed to use the cheapest parts possible on a safety device such as a headlight.

I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra that is in perfect condition mechanical and body no rust, recently found out about frame that has a hole in it on the right front it has been confirmed by dealership that it cannot be driven. In 2015 I took truck in for the recall for the frame obviously something was not done properly. After doing some research I'm finding out Toyota has been having problems with frames from about 2000-2009. The main issue here is if we did not notice this problem and someone is driving the vehicle and frame breaks and someone gets hurt who is responsible

STRUCTURE:BODY
Excessive frame corrosion. I brought the vehicle in for the corrosion recall in 2018. against my objection, they determined that my frame did not have to be replaced and they coated the frame without removing the rust. I recently brought the truck in for service at a location repair shop where he notified me that my fuel tank supports have completely rust off of the frame. He dropped the fuel tank and found that Toyota had never dropped the tank and coated the cross members above the tank. The tank has been supported only by the filler hose, endangering my life and the life of my family. When I contacted Toyota, their response was they did what they were supposed to do.
