TOYOTA INSTRUCTED ME NOT TO ALLOW AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPAIRED, RENDERING THE VEHICLE USELESS FOR ME. I CAN'T EVEN SELL THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE RECALL. I NEED TO TRAVEL IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, BUT THEY HAVE IGNORED MY REQUESTS FOR AIRBAG REPAIR.

I JUST CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIR ARE ON BACK ORDER FOR AT LEAST 5 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID "WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN THEY COME IN". SERIOUSLY, THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND I AM TOLD TO NO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL IT IS FIXED? I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND MY HUSBAND CARPOOL EVERYDAY 5 DAYS A WEEK. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO FOR THE 5 WEEKS UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. I BELIEVE 5 WEEKS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR SUCH A CRUICIAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT IS RISKING DEATH OR SEVERE INJURY. THE PROBLEM IS MOISTURE AND FOR HEAVENS SAKE THIS IS FLORIDA WITH DAILY RAIN AND HIGH HUMIDITY.

SERVICE BRAKES
UPON ROUTINE BRAKE CHANGE/INSPECTION UNCOVERED THAT BRAKE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLT WAS COMPLETELY DETERIORATED (TOYOTA PART NUMBER TO47814-0C010) PERMITTING THE ENTIRE BRAKE CALIPER TO MOVE FREELY AROUND ROTOR. DEALERSHIP NOTED VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN CONDITION UNTIL REPAIR COULD BE MADE. REPORTING THIS AS SIGNIFICANT ISSUE GIVEN THAT IT IS DETERMINED UNSAFE BY TOYOTA DEALER, DIRECTLY EFFECTS ABILITY TO STOP, AND IS HAPPENED TO A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE NOT DRIVEN HARD. HALF INCH CALIPER PINS SHOULD NOT DETERIORATE.....UPDATED 01/13/16 *BF

THE ENTIRE FRAME AND UNDER SIDE OF THE TRUCK TO INCLUDE BRACKETS, CABLES, FITTINGS, AND EXHAUST ARE SO RUSTED AND FLAKING OFF THAT I'M CONCERNED THAT THE TRUCK MAY BREAK APART DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED FROM LOWE TOYOTA IN WARNER ROBINS, GA AND HAD NO IDEA THAT THE TRUCK WAS A RUSTED OUT DISASTER WAITING FOR A PLACE TO HAPPEN !!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40MPH. THIS OCCURRED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS AIR INJECTION PUMP FAILURE. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH MASTER MECHANIC AND A SERVICE MANAGER I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED IT EARLIER MODELS UP TO AND INCLUDING 2010 TUNDRA WHERE TOYOTA TOOK CARE OF THE REPAIR . BUT THEY CONTINUED TO USE THIS PART UNTIL LATE 2011. MY TRUCK WAS DELIVERED IN FALL OF 2010 AND HAD THE OLDER STYLE PART. THEY CHANGED THE PART DESIGN AND NOW IT PREVENTS MOISTURE TO ENTER THE PUMP AND PREVENTS CORROSION WHICH CAUSED PUMP FAILURE. THE ORIGINAL PART HAD FLARED HEAD TUBING AND NO SEAL THE NEW DESIGN HAS A SEALED TUBE END. TOYOTA NEW THIS WOULD FAIL YET THEY DID NOT MAKE THE RECALL I HAVE REQUESTED A REIMBURSEMENT BUT THE HAVE SO FAR FAILED TO DO SO THIS COST ME OVER $2400 THIS EXPENSE SHOULD BE ENTIRELY ON TOYOTA

TOYOTA RUST THRU FRAME RECALL...... I HAD THE REAR SPARE TIRE CARRIAGE ASSY AND CROSS MEMBER. REPLACED. THEY FORGOT MY FREE UNDERCOATING UNTIL I CALLED THEM. AND COMPLAINED . BUT MY COMPLAINT IS THEY DID NOT INSPECT THE EXANDED FRONT FRAME UNTIL THE RECALL WARANTY HAD EXPIRED...THEN THEY TOOK PICTURES AND TOLD ME TO "BEG MY CASE" TO CORPORATE. TO WHICH THEY DENIED; AS THE TIME LIMIT HAD EXPIRED. MY CLAM IS :IF THE DEALERSHIP HAD NOTIFIED ME ,IN TIME, THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND THE 4 INCH LONG BY 1/4 INCH WIDE RUST THRU N MY FRAME , DEFINAELY IN THE RECALL AREA. IT TOOK THE DEALER 1 YEAR TO WARRANTY UNDERCOAT THE FRAME OF THE RECALLED AREAS AS THE DEALERSHIP HAD[ A] MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION ... AND [B] THEY WERE NOT TRAINED IN THE APPLICATION . MY SETTLEMENT DESIRED IIS FOR TOYOTA TO REPLACE MY FRAME.

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG CAME ON WHEN MY SON AND I WENT ON A TRIP TO OUR CABIN. WE STOPPED TO GET GAS, MY SON GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF GOT GAS, AND WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED ON. I AGAIN TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN. MY SON GOT OUT AND THEN GOT BACK INTO THE TRUCK. I TOOK THE CONCERN TO THE DEALER AND THEY RESET THE AIRBAG LIGHT. AFTER THE AIRBAG TURNED OFF ON US AT ALMOST THE EXACT SAME PLACE ON OUR TRIPS TO THE CABIN 5 MORE TIMES OVER A YEAR WITH NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM I ASKED THE DEALER TO COME UP WITH A PLAN TO ADDRESS THE ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM. MY REP. AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE TOYOTA CORPORATE REP. WILL STOP IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN A MONTH OR SO AND THEY WILL CALL ME TO MEET WITH HIM. AFTER THREE MONTHS WITH NO CONTACT I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHEN NO ONE CALLED ME BACK I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY REP. WAS OUT FOR THE SUMMER AND ANOTHER REP. TOLD ME THE TOYOTA CORPORATE REP QUIT AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE ANOTHER REP ASSIGNED TO THEM. I THEN CALLED TOYOTA COMPLAINT LINE WORKED WITH A REP. WHO LOOKED INTO THE ON GOING PROBLEM. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF TRYING TO GET A PLAN FROM HER SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE THE PASSENGER WAS TOO HEAVY FOR THE AIRBAG AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR. SHE SAID THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SETS THE STANDARDS AND THERE IS NOTING THEY CAN DO TO ADJUST THEM. I ASKED IF SHE COULD SEND ME THE AIRBAG SENSOR WEIGHT SINSITIVITY SETTINGS SHE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE REQUEST. I THEN ASKED HER TO PUT TOYOTA'S POSITION IN WRITING, AND THE REP. TOLD ME THAT "YOUR MAINTENANCE RECEIPT IS YOUR COMMUNICATION". THAT IS THE ONLY THING THEY WILL GIVE ME. I HAVE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THIS AIRBAG, AND TOYOTA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. I NEED HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED HERE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE BED IS RUSTING OUT ALL ACROSS THE CROSS MEMBERS. IT STARTED GRADUALLY, BUT NOW IT'S SO BAD I'M AFRAID THE BOX COULD BREAK LOOSE AND FLY OFF THE TRUCK WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. TOYOTA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS VERY ISSUE, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID IT WAS TOO OLD AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES AGE MAKE? IT WAS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT TOYOTA EVEN ACKNOWLEDGES, BUT BECAUSE I WAS UNAWARE OF POTENTIAL DANGER UNTIL AFTER IT WAS PAST THE TIME THEY FEEL THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE, I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE AND HAS A MUCH LOWER RESALE VALUE...UPDATED 10/14/15 *BF UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

WHEELS, TIRES, STRUCTURE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF. IT ACTUALLY CAUSED THE TRUCK TO BOUNCE UP SLIGHTLY. LUCKILY THE TIRE DID NOT CONTACT ANY OTHER VEHICLES. THING TO NOTE: MY TRUCK WAS PART OF THE FRAME CORROSION RECALL ISSUED BY TOYOTA. AT THE TIME, THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE FRAME BUT ONLY COVERED THE RUST WITH SOME COATING. THAT DID NOT STOP NOR SLOW THE RUST. THE "BAND AID" THEY USED WAS INSUFFICIENT AT SOLVING THE PROBLEM, IT ONLY COVERED IT TEMPORARILY. *TR
