STEERING
I OWN A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA WHICH HAD THE FRAME REPLACED FOR A RUST RECALL. THE DEALER SAID THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP, EXCEPT THE STEERING RACK WHICH IS COMPLETELY RUSTED IS LEAKING FLUID FROM THE RUST AND CAN'T BE DRIVEN UNLESS I REPLACE IT FOR APPROX $1,300 DOLLARS... TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE RUSTED COMPONENTS AND NOT SEND UNSAFE VEHICLES BACK ON THE ROAD. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB ACCELERATOR STUCK WIDE OPEN. UPON GETTING ON AN ON RAMP THE TOYOTA TRUCK ACCELERATOR STUCK WIDE OPEN. I SLAMMED MY FOOT AGAINST THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE TRYING TO GET IT UNSTUCK WITH NO SUCCESS. BY THE TIME I HIT 90 MPH I ENDED UP PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE RAN ALL THE WAY UP TO ITS TOP RPM WHILE HITTING THE REV LIMITER. I THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT INTERFERING AND THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE. STRANDED ALONG THE HIGHWAY I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CAUTIOUSLY RESTART THE VEHICLE. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE RESULTED IN THE THROTTLE RETURNING TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. THIS HAPPENED SATURDAY AFTERNOON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BATTERY DRAINS WITH ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT OFF. IF VEHICLE LEFT SITTING MUCH OVER ONE WEEK IT WILL COMPLETELY DRAIN THE BATTERY TO THE POINT THAT IT WILL NO LONGER HOLD A CHARGE. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY 5 TIMES IN ONE YEAR AND FINALLY PUT A QUICK DISCONNECT ON THE NEGATIVE BATTERY POST. I'VE HAD TOYOTA LOOK AT IT TWICE AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT HAS ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO I STARTED NOTICING THE TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY HAVE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. IT HAPPENS MAINLY WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING ALL DAY. IT'S KIND OF SCARY BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT OR MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THE TRUCK WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE NO POWER AND THEN IT WILL JOLT FORWARD. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE COMING ON AND THAT'S USUALLY THE ONLY WAY THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX PROBLEMS. I HAVE READ A FEW FORUMS THAT TALK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, ONE GUY SAID HE HAD HIS TRUCK IN AND OUT OF THE DEALER FOR 4 MONTHS AND THEY BASICALLY RIPPED HIS WHOLE TRUCK APART. THEY FINALLY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE WIRE HARNESS UNDER THE DASH THAT GOES TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS LOOSE AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE NOT HAD ENOUGH COMPLAINTS YET BUT WHEN THEY DO THEY WILL PROBABLY COME OUT WITH A FIX. I HAVEN'T DONE MUCH SINCE MAINLY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE DEALER WASTING MY TIME AND TAKING MY TRUCK APART. *TR

STRUCTURE
ON 24 NOV 09 TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2000 TUNDRA PICKUPS, REGARDING FRAME CORROSION AND PARTICULARLY CORROSION ON THE CROSS MEMBER THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE. ALTHOUGH I READ ABOUT THIS ONLINE, TOYOTA HAS YET TO INFORM ME BY MAIL. ON 24 MARCH 2010 I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO BERLIN CITY MOTORS IN PORTLAND ME FOR AN INSPECTION OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CORROSION WAS NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT FRAME REPLACEMENT, BUT THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED OF WHEN TO RETURN FOR APPLICATION OF SOME SORT OF CORROSION INHIBITING GUNK. SEVEN MONTHS LATER I HEARD NOTHING. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICES AND BEGAN A COMPLAINT PROCESS. THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE STILL SENDING OUT RECALLS ..ALMOST A YEAR LATER!!! THEY CLAIM THAT THEY NEED INFO FROM THE STATE OF MAINE REGARDING LEGALITY OF APPLYING CORROSION INHIBITING GUNK ON SAFELY, AND THEY NEED "OTHER" PERMISSIONS. IT IS MY OPINION THAT TOYOTA IS STALLING ON THIS FAIRLY SIMPLE RECALL, HOPING TO REDUCE THE PROBLEM BY ATTRITION OF OLDER VEHICLES. I WOULD APPRECIATE INFO FROM NHTSA AS TO WHY TOYOTA IS BEING ALLOWED TO TAKE THIS LONG ON A PROJECT THAT ISN'T EXACTLY ROCKET SCIENCE.
