STEERING
FOR A WEEK I HAD NOTICED A LEAK ON THE SURFACE OF THE PARKING LOT OF MY APARTMENT BUILDING WHERE I ALMOST ALWAYS PARK MY TRUCK. SINCE IT'S AN APARTMENT, I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT, THINKING IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE'S VEHICLE. THEN ON SUNDAY AUGUST 31ST, I HAD DRIVEN ROUND TRIP TO AKRON, OHIO AND BACK TO WILLOUGHBY, OHIO AND NOTICED A HUGE LEAK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS THE POWER STEERING AND THAT THERE ARE TWO OF THE PARTS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THEY HAVE RUSTED AND LEAKED ON OTHER TUNDRA'S OF THE SAME YEAR AS MINE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT AT 48K MILES. IT COST ME $2000 TO REPLACE. I READ VARIOUS BLOGS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON MANY TUNDRAS BUILT BETWEEN 2007-2013. I DON'T DRIVE MY TRUCK VERY OFTEN AND I TREAT IT VERY GENTLY. THIS WAS A HUGE EXPENSE BILL FOR ANYBODY TO ABSORB. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BODY COMPUTER FAILED DISABLING THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS, TURN SIGNALS, TACH, SPEEDOMETER, AIR BAGS, ABS,STABILITY CONTROL, AND RENDERING THE TRUCK'S CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN-BUS) NETWORK UNUSABLE FOR NORMAL AND EMERGENCY NEEDS. ENGINE WOULD RUN, TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT, BUT THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE TUNDRA APPEARED TO BE DISABLED ALONG WITH THE FLASHERS, TURN SIGNALS, TACH, AND SPEEDOMETER WHICH WERE INOPERATIVE. I LIVE NEAR HOUSTON AND TOYOTA HAS THIS PART ON BACKORDER NATIONWIDE INDICATING THIS FAILURE MAY BE COMMON WITH THIS AND MAYBE OTHER TUNDRA TRUCKS. WHEN THE BODY COMPUTER FAILS THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE YET IT CAN BE DRIVEN! *TR

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA, FOR MY VEHICLE, DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY TOYOTA TO MAKE THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AT 1-888-270-9371 TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL.
