I HAVE 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT HAS DEVELOPED A REAREND WHINE/HOWLING NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE SELLING DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AT WHICH THEY HAVE ULTIMATELY REBUILT THE ENTIRE REAREND. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE SAY NOW THAT I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. TOYOTA CORP. WILL NOT ACT. THIS DOES HAVE A TSB. TOYOTA HAS A PROBLEM WITH TUNDRA REARENDS AND WILL NOT ACT. THERE ARE MANY POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I AM AT THE POINT OF NEEDING LEGAL ASSISTANCE. *LN

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER HAVING CODES READ, PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE AIR INDUCTION PUMP. THE ISSUE IS THAT WHEN THIS PUMP GOES OUT, IT PUTS THE ENGINE IN A "LIMP" MODE, WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE ACCELERATION TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS DRIVERS DO NOT KNOW THAT THE "LIMP" MODE OCCURS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE REPLACEMENT PART COST OVER $1300. I WOULD THINK A PART OF THAT EXPENSE SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN A LITTLE OVER 50,000 MILES.

I BOUGHT MY 2000 TUNDRA NEW IN 1999. THE FRAME IS RUSTING BEYOND NORMAL LIMITS AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IF THEY HIT THE FRAME WITH A HAMMER AND THE HAMMER DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE FRAME THEN IT'S OK. I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TAILLIGHT BULBS FALL OUT OF THE SOCKET. WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY PUT THE BULBS BACK IN BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THE SOCKETS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPRING TENSION TO SECURE THEM IN PLACE. I'VE SINCE BLOCKED THEM IN PLACE WITH TOOTHPICKS TO INCREASE THE TENSION OF THE SOCKETS. CHEAP FIX BUT THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE SOCKETS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ABS, TRAC AND 4HI WARNING LIGHTS ALL ON WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE ABS AND TRAC CONTROL ALL CEASED TO FUNCTION. WAS DRIVING IN SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITIONS. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE, 4HI WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THIS IS 4TH OR 5TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. MOSTLY OCCURS DURING COLD WEATHER BUT NOT ALWAYS. HAVE TAKEN TRUCK TO DEALER AFTER THESE OCCURRENCES AND 2 OF THE TIMES THE DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE SITUATION. WHEN TRUCK IS IN STATE OF FLASHING LIGHTS, THE TRUCK ALWAYS RETURNS TO NORMAL WHEN YOU TURN OFF VEHICLE, WAIT AND THEN RESTART IT. DEALER HAS REPLACED PARTS NOW 4 TIMES AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM

EQUIPMENT, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SET OF WEATHERTECK FRONT FLOOR MATS PART # W40 FOR MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I ORDERED THESE MATS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THEY WERE A CUSTOM FIT MAT FOR MY VEHICLE. THEY INCLUDE THE NECESSARY HOOKS TO ATTACH THE MAT TO THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR. BUT THIS IS CONSIDERED A "GENERIC" MAT AND SOLD FOR ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES. WITH THE PURCHASER RESPONSIBLE FOR MODIFYING THEM IF NECESSARY. THE DESIGN OF THE MAT POSITIONS THE RIGHT EDGE DIRECTLY UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR IT WILL HANG ON THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE MAT. ON THE WEATHERTECH WEB SITE IT SHOWS 2 PICTURES OF THE W40 MAT. ONE OF WHICH HAS THE CORRECT SHAPE FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR. THE OTHER IS THE WRONG DESIGN AND THE ONE YOU RECEIVE. THESE MATS SHOULD NOT BE SOLD AS A "GENERIC" FOR VEHICLES THEY DO NOT FIT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1. DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DOWN A FREEWAY (AROUND 60-70 MPH) 2. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES ALL POWER AND JUST IDLES, AT THIS POINT SPEED REDUCES BY ITSELF DOWN TO ABOUT 5-10 MPH. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOTHING. AT THIS POINT, I AM FORCED TO THE SHOULDER AS TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES. 3. ALLEVIATED THE PROBLEM BY CHANGING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA AS A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
