STEERING
HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN I GO TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR EMPTY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE RACK AND PINION IS NO GOOD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1900.00. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS, I HAVE A CO-WORKER WHO BOUGHT THE SAME TRUCK I DID, IN THE SAME MONTH I DID. HIS HAS 145,000 MILES AND HIS RACK AND PINION WENT OUT TWO WEEKS AGO. LESS THAN 10,000 MILES BETWEEN THESE INCIDENTS IS QUITE A COINCIDENCE.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB HAS SIGNIFICANT RUST, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A CRACK ALONG THE FRAME RAIL APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES LONG NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL. THE FRAME HAS NUMEROUS OTHER HOLES OPENING UP AND SIGNIFICANT FLAKES OF STEEL FALLING OF THE FRAME IN THIS SAME AREA. I HAVE METICULOUSLY CARED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN SURE TO KEEP THE CAR AND FRAME CLEAN, PARTICULARLY DURING THE HARSH WINTER MONTHS. NONETHELESS THE FRAME HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT WHERE THE SWAY BAR MOUNT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH. WHILE TOYOTA INITIATED A "LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN" THIS IS NOT A FULL RECALL. I LEARNED OF THIS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE 26 DAYS AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE CAMPAIGN ON JULY 31, 2015. AS THIS IS NOT A RECALL, CUSTOMERS SUCH AS MYSELF HAVE NO RECOURSE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS RUDELY INFORMED THAT THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS AND THAT MY VEHICLE CANNOT BE COVERED UNDER THE CAMPAIGN AS IT HAS EXPIRED. THIS LEAVES ME WITH SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF TOYOTA'S ENGINEERING ERROR. NOT ONLY DOES THIS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE, BUT CLEARLY POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION ARE WEAKENED. FURTHERMORE, AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE AND INJURY AS A RESULT OF THE WEAKENED STRUCTURE. THE FACT THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN NOT BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL IS APPALLING. TOYOTA IS UNWILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES AND HAS LEFT ME TO FEND FOR MYSELF FOR THEIR ERROR. I STRONGLY URGE THE NHTSA TO RECONSIDER THEIR CLOSED CASE ON THIS FRAME ISSUE AND DEMAND A RECALL. THE MEASURES TOYOTA HAS TAKEN THROUGH THIS CAMPAIGN ARE NOT SUFFICIENT. THERE ARE COUNTLESS OTHER OWNERS WHOSE FRAMES ONLY RECEIVED THE CRC COATING AND HAVE CONTINUED TO RUST. THIS WAS CLEARLY A STOPGAP MEASURE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE SAFETY HAZARD AND ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THEIR DESIGN FLAW.

SUSPENSION, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TOOK MY 2001 TUNDRA IN FOR THE FRAME RECALLS. I HAD 52616 MILES ON A GARAGE KEPT TRUCK. THEY SAID MY FRAME WOULD BE FINE AND WOULD HAVE A CRC COMPOUND APPLIED APR 2012. AFTER A FEW WEEKS I TOOK IT BACK IN SINCE THE COMPOUND WAS FALLING OFF, MAY 2012. THEY REAPPLIED THE CRC. I TOLD THEM I HAD CONCERNS OVER SPRAYING OVER RUST, BUT SAID THEY WERE SURE TOYOTA WOULD STAND BEHIND IT. FEB 2014 THE TECHNICIAN MADE A COMMENT ABOUT THE RUST AND LACK OF COMPOUND VISIBLE. FEB 2015 THE TECHNICIAN AGAIN SAID IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE CRC WAS ALMOST GONE. HE MADE A NOTE OF IT ON THE SERVICE REPORT. I ASKED THEM TO CONTACT THE CORP OFFICE ABOUT IT. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT CORP WOULDN'T SPRAY IT AGAIN, BUT THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD SPRAY IT. 27 JUNE 2015 DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE 41, THE FRONT STRAP HOLDING THE GAS TANK BROKE, MILEAGE 58325. I GOT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD NEW STRAPS INSTALLED. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THEY ACTUALLY HAD TO DRILL AND TAP AND MOUNT THE FRONT STRAP IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION DUE TO SEVERE ROTTING OF THE FRAME. AFTERWARDS I FOUND OUT THAT THE STRAPS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED DURING PHASE 2 OF SSC 90. I CALLED TOYOTA CORP CASE# 1507131315. THE FIRST CASE MANAGER GEORGE SAID RIGHT AWAY TOYOTA WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. THEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP FOR THE FIRST TIME. GAS STARTED POURING OUT ONTO THE GROUND. I BASICALLY CALLED EVERY DAY TILL I GOT JEFFERY MOORE AS MANAGER. HE GOT MY STRAPS AND TANKS REPLACED BUT SAID CORP WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE FRAME. I SENT PICTURES AND EVERYTHING. NOW TOYOTA WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY OF MY E-MAILS OR CALLS . MY FRAME HAS HOLES THAT I CAN PUT MY HAND THREW AND HAS ONLY 6000 MILES ON IT SINCE IT WAS SPRAYED. I'M AFRAID THAT THE GAS WILL BRAKE AWAY OR THE FRAME WILL SNAP AT ANY TIME. THE GOVT NEEDS TO MAKE THEM FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS IN THE RECALL, NOT MASK IT.

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

RECEIVED AN UNDATED LETTER OF RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THIS WAS AN INTERIM NOTICE WITH A REMEDY BUT NO IDEA WHEN IT CAN BE FIXED. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE # 1508251905.THEY TOLD ME TO CALL THE DEALER CLOSE TO MY AREA TO SEE WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. NO ONE KNOWS WHEN PARTS ARE GOING TO BE IN MY AREA .I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T PUT ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAG THAT MAY INJURE OR KILL IF SEATED IN THE SEAT. TOYOTA NEEDS TO AT LEAST GIVE US AN IDEA WHEN THIS PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED.

PURCHASED 2000 TUNDRA IN 2005. WAS MADE AWARE OF A RECALL BY TOYOTA CORP REGARDING RUST ISSUES WITH VEHICLE FRAME, GAS TANK STRAP, AND SPARE TIRE FASTENER. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER DECEMBER OF 2012 FOR THE FRAME INSPECTION (TANK STRAP AND SPARE TIRE ISSUE REPAIRED ON A SEPARATE DATE). I WAS TOLD THAT A FULL INSPECTION TOOK PLACE TO INCLUDE DISASSEMBLING THE BED OF THE TRUCK. I WAS TOLD THAT NO PERFERATIONS WERE FOUND IN THE FRAME. A SPRAY FOAM KIT WAS USED TO TREAT THE FRAME. ON 8/25/15, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO SELL MY TRUCK WHEN A PROSPECTIVE BUYER NOTICED (2) SIGNIFICANT HOLES IN THE FRAME LOCATED JUST IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE ENTIRE FRAME APPEARS TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT RUST CONSIDERING IT IS ONLY 15 YEARS OLD. NEEDLESS TO SAY, A SALE DID NOT TAKE PLACE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT BE DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH MY FAMILY WHEN A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT COULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER (NOT THE ONE THAT TREATED THE FRAME). I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD CONTACT TOYOTA CORP BUT ALSO STATED THAT THEY MAY NOT REPLACE THE FRAME AS IT IS 15 YEARS OLD. HE CONTACTED ME 2 DAYS LATER STATING THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT REPLACE THE FRAME OR BUY THE VEHICLE BACK. THE FRAME RECALL I REFERRED TO WAS NOT A RECALL ACCORDING TO TOYOTA. RATHER, IT WAS A, "GOOD WILL GESTURE" TO CONSUMERS AFFECTED BY THE SITUATION. THE SERVICE MANAGER DID SUGGEST TO LOOK INTO FINDING A WELDER TO SEE IF THEY COULD REPAIR IT. REALLY?? MECHANICALLY, THE VEHICLE IS SOUND. I AM LEFT WITH SCRAP AND OUT AT LEAST $4500 BECAUSE I CANT SELL IT THE WAY IT IS. THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT MY FAMILY IS STILL ALIVE. WHAT A SHAM. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN ON JULY 13TH 2015 TO HAVE THE FRAME INSPECTION DONE BY HURLBURT TOYOTA IN EPPING NH. THEY DETERMINED THAT MY FRAME PASSED INSPECTION AND WANTED ME TO BRING IT BACK TO HAVE CRC DONE. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN ABOUT THE CONDITION OF MY FRAME WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF AND HANDED THE SERVICE REP TWO PIECES OF METAL THAT HAD BASICALLY FALLEN OFF IN MY HAND. I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY AND THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. I KNEW THE FRAME WAS IN BAD SHAPE AND WAS DISGUSTED WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I WAS THEN CONTACTED A FEW WEEKS LATER 2 DAYS BEFORE THE RECALL EXPIRED AND WAS ENCOURAGED TO GET MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE CRC DONE, BUT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ME A LOANER THAT I COULD TOW WITH SO I NEVER WENT IN. I WAS PREPARED TO UNDERCOAT TRUCK MYSELF AND WHILE UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK I FOUND A HOLE IN THE BOXED SECTION OF THE DRIVERS SIDE(NOT A DRAINAGE HOLE) I CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT INSPECTED AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA CORP WHICH I DID AND RECEIVED A CASE # AND AFTER A LOT OF WASTED TIME WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE WAY THIS IS BEING HANDLED. THERE IS NO WAY THEY CAN GET CRC IN THAT BOXED SECTION WHICH IS WHERE MY PROBLEM IS. IT IS FRAME ROT NOT RUST. APPLYING CRC TO THAT AREA WILL PROBABLY ONLY MAKE THE ROT WORSE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION BEFORE UNDERCOATING BUT THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR TWO DAYS AND PRINTED ON SERVICE SLIP THAT IT PASSED. ALL OF THE FRAMES ARE BAD ON THESE TRUCKS. IM NOW STUCK WITH A TRUCK THAT I PAID $10,000 TWO YEARS AGO AND NOW FEEL ITS WORTH NOTHING. I WOULD NOT SELL IN THIS CONDITION AND CANT GET ANY HELP FROM TOYOTA! ANY THOUGHTS OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR FRAME RECALL. THEY SAID FRAME WAS FINE AND JUST NEEDED A REAR CROSS MEMBER. THEY ALSO SAID THEY WILL CLEAN ALL RUST OFF FRAME AND PUT PROTECTIVE COATING ON IT. INDEED THEY DID BUT DID NOT CLEAN ANY RUST OFF. AND THAT MEANS THIS UNDERCOATING WILL BE OFF IN LESS THEN 6 MONTHS. WHERE THERE WAS HEAVY RUST SCALING AND ALL OTHER RUST. THEY JUST SPRAYED OVER THE TOP OF THE RUST AND MISSED MANY SPOTS. WHEN I GOT HOME AND INSPECTED. THERE ARE HOLES IN THE FRAME I CAN STICK MY HAND IN. I AM DUMB FOUNDED HOW THIS WAS MISSED. OR MAYBE IT WAS MENT TO BE MISSED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE FRAME. FRAME NEEDS TO BE REPLACED UNDER RECALL PLANE AND SIMPLE. THE PICTURES TELL THE WHOLE STORY. THE FRAME IS 100% CLEARLY WITHOUT A DOUBT ROTTED THROUGH. THE BODY ON THE TRUCK IS NEAR MINT WITH NO ROT OR RUST. AND JUST A FEW LITTLE DINGS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE RECALL IN PLACE. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN METRO TOYOTA OF CLEVELAND.

CONTINUOUS OIL LEAK FROM CAM TOWER ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLD. DEALER DENIED THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE SIGNS ARE VERY OBVIOUS. A CALL TO TOYOTA TO GOT ME NO WHERE. THEY DENIED THE ISSUE LIKE THE DEALER. THERE IS OIL ON THE ENGINE BLOCK AND ALSO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS BLACK FROM THE ALL OF THE OIL DRIPPING. AFTER DRIVING FOR AWHILE THE CAR SMELLS LIKE IT'S BURNING. THERE IS A VERY REAL POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH CAN FIND EXTENSIVE EXAMPLES. TOYOTA APPEARS TO BE REVERTING TO IT'S OLD WAYS AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES.
