SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM FLORIDA ON 30 NOV, I HEARD A HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY TOYOTA TUNDRA. ON 2 DEC 2015, THE DEALERSHIP DID SERVICE ON THE TRUCK TO ADDRESS THE NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY AND DID SOMETHING TO THE LSD. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP ON 6 DECEMBER 2015, THE REAR WHEELS STARTED LOCKING UP AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I LET THE VEHICLE SET OVER THE WEEKEND. ON 7 DEC 2015, I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN, THE WHEELS WERE STILL LOCKING UP AND THE VEHICLE HAD A BURNING SMELL. I HAVE AN APPOINT TO RETURN THE VEHICLE ON 9 DEC 2015.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED TOYOTA TUNDRA ON 6 NOV 2015. SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN GETTING 460 MILES TO A FULL TANK OF GAS (38 GALLON TANK). THOSE NUMBERS EQUATE TO 12MPG IN FUEL ECONOMY ESTIMATES. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP ON 6 NOV2015. THE TRUCK HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE FUEL EFFICIENCY READ 570 MILE FOR A FULL TANK OF GAS. ON 13 NOV I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO FLORIDA. EVERY TIME I FILED UP THE TRUCK WITH FUEL THE FUEL EFFICIENCY READING STARTED TO DECLINE. ON THE FIRST THREE FULL TANK OF GAS, THE READING WAS 540 AND 520 MILES FOR A FULL TANK OF GAS ON 15 NOVEMBER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON OR ABOUT 17 NOV. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PLUGGED THE VEHICLE UP TO A COMPUTER. THE COMPUTER SENT OUT A REPORT THAT SHOWED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GETTING 18 MPG. THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE DOING WELL IF I GOT 14MPG. BASED ON THEIR COMMENTS I WAS NOT TO EXPECT ANYTHING OVER 15MPG OVER THE HIGHWAY. ON 25 NOV, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO FLORIDA. I DECIDED TO MANUALLY TRACK THE MILEAGE IN REGARD TO A FULL TANK OF GAS WITH THE USE OF THE TRIP COUNTER. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE ONLY REGISTERING 12MPG ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. ON A FULL 38 GALLON TANK, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE 460 MILES PER TANK. THAT EQUATE TO 12MPG. THE DRIVING CONDITION WAS 74-78 DEGREES; DRIVING ON I95; THERE WAS ONLY THREE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I USED 89 OCTANE GRADED GAS.

TAKATA RECALL - BECAUSE THE RECALL NOTICE SENT BY TOYOTA ADVISES THAT I NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, I HAVE HAD ONLY LIMITED USE OF THE VEHICLE FOR NEARLY SIX MONTHS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA, ASKING THAT THEY PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR BUY THE VEHICLE BACK (TOYOTA CASE #1511190602. SINCE THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE USED AS INTENDED, IT IS MY OPINION THAT TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO OFFER RESONABLE COMPENSATION AND/OR AN AMICABLE SOLUTION. FURTHER, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG IS MORE LIKELY TO FAIL IN AREAS PRONE TO HIGH HUMIDITY. FOR MOST OF THE YEAR, THIS TRUCK IS PARKED WITHIN 50 FEET OF LAKE ERIE - FROM MAY TO SEPTEMBER - NORMAL DAILY HUMIDITY IS GENERALLY OVER 80% TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO OFFER COMPENSATION - THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT. TO SO DRASTICALLY LIMIT THE OWNERS USE OF THE VEHICLE WITH NO KNOWN DATE FOR A SOLUTION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. AGAIN, TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO OFFER FAIR FINANCIAL COMPENSATION OR A COMPERABLE LOANER VEHICLE (INCLUDING SUITABLE INSURANCE COVERAGE) TO THE VEHICLE OWNER'S SATISFACTION.

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.

FACTORY DEFECT DUE TO INSUFFICIENT SEAL APPLIED TO THE MATTING SURFACES. DEFECT REMEDIED AND MAJOR REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. THEY HAVE CHANGED ALL THE GASKETS AND SEALS ON THE ENGINE.

POWER TRAIN
THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING RUSTED THROUGH SO THAT THE LUBRICATING FLUID LEAKED OUT ONTO THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN THE TRUCK WAS MOVING AND AT REST. TOYOTA HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE VEHICLE FRAME AS RAPID CORROSION AND RUSTING CAUSED A RECALL. THE DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFERS POWER TO THE REAR WHEELS SO THE LACK OF LUBRICATION COULD HAVE CAUSED THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A REAR END COLLISION OR COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGH SPEED. USED REPLACEMENT DIFFERENTIAL HOUSINGS ARE UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE OF HIGH DEMAND DUE TO FAILURE OF ORIGINALS DUE TO RUST.
