TO ME I THINK THIS IS A BUNCH OF BULL THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 70192 MILES ON IT THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD OF RUSTED OUT CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS THE REAR AXLE COULD HAVE LOST ALL OF ITS OIL CAUSING A MAJOR MALFUNCTION THE AXLE COULD OF LOCKED UP BROKE THE AXLE CAUSING TO LOOSE CONTROLL CREATING A BAD ACCIDENT THEY SAY IT DOSNT COVER RUST BUT YET I GOT A RECALL NOTICE TO BRING IT IN TO HAVE THE FRAME INSPECTED FOR EXTREME RUST CORROSION. THIS DOSNT MAKE MUCH SENCE TO ME THEY WILL COVER THE RUSTY FRAME WHICH IS GREAT BUT THEY WONT COVER THE RUSTED OUT REAR AXLE THAT COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT AS WELL AS THE FRAME. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO TITUS WILL TOYOTA IN TACOMA, WA. THERE IS A RECALL FOR FRAME DAMAGE. THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC A FEW WEEKS LATER FOR OTHER WORK. HE INFORMED ME THAT MY SKID PLATE WAS LOOSE AND COULD NOT BE RE-CONNECTED BECAUSE THE HOLES FOR THE SCREWS IN THE FRAME ARE RUSTED OUT. THIS IS WHAT THE RECALL IS ABOUT. SO THE DEALER TRIED TO NOT DO THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE. MEANWHILE MY TRUCK NEEDS THE FRAME REPLACED AS THE RECALL SPECIFIED. MY TRUCK LIVED IN DULUTH MN, FOR 12 YEARS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE NOW HAS A LITTLE LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON IT, AND HAS A FEATURE WHICH AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS THE DOORS AT 15 MPH, THEN UNLOCKS THEM WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PUT IN PARK. HOWEVER, THE DOORS WILL NO LONGER LOCK UNLESS I DO SO MANUALLY WITH EACH DOOR; THE POWER MECHANISM HAS FAILED. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE CENTRAL RELAY AND CONTROLLER OF THE POWER LOCK SYSTEM IS OK; BUT THE POWER LOCK ACTUATOR (SMALL MOTOR) ON EACH DOOR HAS FAILED INDIVIDUALLY. I FIND IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT EACH ONE OF THESE PARTS HAS FAILED IN THE SAME VEHICLE RELATIVELY EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE UNLESS THERE IS EITHER A FAULTY DESIGN OR EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY OF THE PARTS INVOLVED. IN EITHER CASE, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR, WHICH THE DEALER ESTIMATES AT $1,746.00! PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE TO PUT SOME PRESSURE ON TOYOTA. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR CORROSION ,FRAME .CROSS MEMBER AND GAS TANK STRAPS WERE REPLACED IN AUGUST 2012 03/16/2014 THE GAS TANK LEAKED APPROX. 15 GALLONS OF GAS IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE THE GAS TANK WAS PERFORATED IN THREE SPOT UNDERNEATH THE NEW TANK STRAPS THIS VEHICLE HAS 85000 MILES ON IT AND I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED WITHOUT ENDANGERING PEOPLE IN THIS MANNER. ALSO NOW THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING IS CORRODED SO BAD IT IS LEAKING GEAR OIL IN SEVERAL PLACES AND I AM AFRAID OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. *TR

ENGINE, AIR BAGS
ON 12/24/2012 AROUND 04:00HRS I STRUCK AN ADULT MOOSE IN BEAR LAKE, CANADA WITH THE FRONT END OF MY WIFE'S 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX ON THE BRITISH COLUMBIA HIGHWAY. THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD WAS SNOW AND ICE BUT WE HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED AFTERMARKET RIMS AND TIRES ON 12/18/2012 IN CALIFORNIA; 18IN MB VOTEX RIMS WITH BFG ALL TERRAIN TIRES. THE TRACTION OF THESE TIRES BOOSTED MY CONFIDENCE IN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 30-40MPH AT NIGHT. WE HAD TRAVELED ALL THE WAY FROM GEORGIA WITHOUT SEEING ANY ANIMALS AT NIGHT. THE HID HEAD LAMPS GAVE ME A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY NAVIGATING THROUGH THE NIGHT IN ORDER TO MAKE THE FINAL LEG TO ANCHORAGE, AK FOR CHRISTMAS DAY. TO MY SURPRISE, A MOOSE TIPTOED FROM THE WOODS ON MY RIGHT ABOUT 20 FEET AHEAD OF ME AS I INTENDED TO PRESS ON PASS IT. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOT SPOOKED AND DARTED INTO MY PATH. I STRUCK THE ANIMAL BROAD SIDE WITH THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK KNOCKING IT INTO THE ENGINE BAY. INITIALLY I THOUGHT THE CONTACT WAS NOT SEVERE BUT INSPECTION PROVED OTHERWISE. THE HOOD WAS CRUMPLED UP UNTO THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE RADIATOR AND MOTOR WAS PUSHED SO FAR BACK THAT IT WAS NO LONGER DRIVABLE. I BELIEVE MY SPEED WAS AROUND 30MPH UPON IMPACT WHICH SURPRISED ME THAT THE ANIMAL WAS DEAD. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP FOR AN INSURANCE ESTIMATE AS A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS CONCERNED AS TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY SINCE THE DAMAGES WAS SO GREAT. THE TECH EXPLAINED THAT THE SENSORS FOR THE AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED BEHIND THE BUMPER OF THE TRUCK WHERE IMPACT WAS MINIMAL. BECAUSE THE CONTACT TO THE MOOSE KNOCKED HIM OFF HIS LEGS THE LARGE BODY FELL INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL HAD IT A FULL RACK OF ANTLERS. THANK GOD HE DID NOT! THOUGH WE HAVE PURCHASED A 2013 REPLACEMENT OF THE SAME TRUCK, THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING IS STILL A CONCERN AS A DESIGN FLAW AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
I STARTED MY TRUCK AND NOTICED THAT THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) LIGHT AND THE 4-HI AND 4-LO LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AS WELL. THE PARKING LOT I WAS IN WAS MOSTLY EMPTY AND SLICK, SO I TRIED A HARD BREAKING AND SURE ENOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM FAILS TO OPERATE. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE VSC FAILED TO WORK AS WELL. I TRIED TO SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND THAT FAILED AS WELL. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND A NUMBER OF FORUMS WHERE OTHERS TALKED ABOUT HAVING THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. SOME STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FAILED, OTHERS THAT IT WAS A BAD CONNECTION. I FEEL THAT A FAILURE LIKE THIS WITHOUT WARNING CAN PUT DRIVERS AT RISK. WE HAVE COME TO RELY ON THESE TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES MAKING OUR VEHICLES SAFER TO DRIVE, AND IF THEY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING, IN THE MIDDLE OF A HARD BRAKING SITUATION, THIS COULD LEAD TO DISASTROUS SITUATION AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

WHEELS
I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SCREECHING NOISE FROM THE FRONT UNDER THE HOOD NEXT TO THE TIRES. WHEN DRIVING I FELT ITS VIBRATION AND THE FRONT WHEELS WERE ABOUT TO COME OFF. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE BOLT JOINTS ON BOTH SIDE OF THE FRONT ARE ABOUT TO COME OFF. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD SEEM CUSTOMERS WHEELS CAME OFF THE FREEWAYS. ON FEBRUARY 6, 2014, I HAVE THE BOLT JOINTS REPLACED IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF $1,014.98. WITH THIS ISSUE, I AM VERY CONCERN WHY TOYOTA HAS NOT RECALL THIS PROBLEM. MY PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE WHEELS COME OFF. WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAD HAPPENED. ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE THIS MATTER SOLVED BY TOYOTA PAY MY SERVICE BILL. *TR
