VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK. I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE THE ACCELERATOR HAS STUCK. BRAKING DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE ACCELERATION. I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND ALMOST WENT THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE TRUCK IS NOT CURRENTLY ON RECALL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I OWN AN 08 TOYOTA TUNDRA. HAVE DONE ALL MAINTENANCE WORK AND HAVE RECORDS. HAD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PROBLEM FIXED (?) BY TOYOTA IN WELLESLEY MASSACHUSETTS ON 2/5/10. THE DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT TOOK OFF SMASHING MY REAR BUMPER WHICH I PAID TO FIX. I JUST THANK GOD THAT WAS NOT A CHILD BEHIND MY CAR. SINCE THEN THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY INCIDENTS TO COUNTS WITH THE ACCELERATOR STICKING. CALLED TOYOTA BOTH DEALERSHIP AND COMPANY AND WAS TOLD MY TRUCK HAS BEEN FIXED. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THE MORE MILES I PUT ON THE CAR THE MORE FREQUENTLY THIS HAPPENS. I WAS ON CHANNEL 5 NEWS IN MASS ON FRIDAY 3/5 AND SAT 3/6 REGARDING THIS CONTINUING PROBLEM. TOYOTA IS NOT OFFERING A RENTAL WHILE THEY LOOK AT IT AND THIS IS A WORK TRUCK FOR ME. I DON'T WORK I DON'T GET PAID AND I STILL OWE 16K ON THE TRUCK. I AM SENDING A CERTIFIED LETTER TO CORPORATE TOYOTA AND PUTTING THEM ON NOTICE REGARDING THE LIABILITY ON THIS MATTER, WHICH IS HUGE. I AM NOT LOSING MY HOME AND EVERYTHING I HAVE WORKED HARD FOR ALL MY LIFE BECAUSE TOYOTA HAS A PROBLEM THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT. I MYSELF DO NOT BELIEVE THERE WAS EVER A FLOOR MAT PROBLEM, THAT WAS A DELAY TACTIC. BUT I AM REPORTING TO YOU AS I WAS INSTRUCTED TO DO BY CHANNEL 5 NOT TOYOTA OR THE DEALERSHIP BUT BY THE NEWSCASTER THAT BROADCAST MY STORY. THE ACCELERATION IS HAPPENING AT LEAST 5-9 TIMES A WEEK AT VARIOUS TIMES. IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE DO. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SITTING IN TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE REVVED UP BY ITSELF ON MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 V8. PROBLEM WAS ABATED BY TURNING ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING. THIS PROBLEM RESULTED IN A MIL ERROR THAT SIDE B OF THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING LEAN. AFTER COMPLETING AN ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM, THE FINDINGS ARE THAT THE OXYGEN SENSORS ARE NOT RESPONDING TO SPECIFICATION. IT IS MY FIRM BELIEF THAT THE FIRMWARE ON THE ECM DOES NOT SELF CHECK FOR RUNAWAY CONDITIONS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT
I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 DOUBLE CAB AND HAVE HAD ALL OF MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE COMPLETED ON TIME AND AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I HAVE MADE THE COMPLAINT OF MY GAS PEDAL STICKING AND MY FLOOR MATS WERE NOT AN ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THEY "FIXED" THE RECALL PROBLEM WITH ADDING A PART TO THE GAS PEDAL. SINCE I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK BACK, IT HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. THE GAS PEDAL STILL ACCELERATES ON ITS ON OR DECELERATES ON ITS ON. THE GAS PEDAL "FLOATS" WITH YOUR FOOT SO THE ENGINE IS CONSTANTLY MAKING THE RPM'S RISE AND FALL CONSTANTLY UPON RIDING OVER BUMPS OR HILLS. I DON'T WANT A "PART" TO BE INSTALLED, I WANT THE ENTIRE PEDAL TO BE REPLACED! I LIKE MY TRUCK, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DOES NOT RUN CORRECTLY AND IS CONSTANTLY MAKING A TICKING SOUND LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE WOULD SOUND. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE CONSTANTLY TELLING ME IT IS OK AND NOTHING IS WRONG. TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT MADE TO JUST DOWN SHIFT 3 GEARS RIGHT OFF THE BAT ON THE INTERSTATE ON FLAT GROUND. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO TRY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS THEY PROCLAIM THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THEY ARE CRAZY! PULLING A HORSE TRAILER MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND IT WAS IN TOW MODE. IT TOOK 1 MILE OR LONGER FOR IT TO SHIFT FROM 1/2 GEAR TO 4 GEAR AND THE RPM'S WERE OVER 2,500.. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I FELT IT WOULD NEVER SHIFT DOWNWARD FROM 1/2 GEAR. I AM AFRAID TO PULL MY HORSES WITH THE TRANSMISSION ACTING THIS WAY. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA SUDDEN ACCELERATION ACCIDENT. I WAS BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAPPENED. THE ENGINE RACED SO LOUD MY WIFE COULD HEAR IT IN THE HOUSE AND THOUGHT I HAD STARTED MY TRACTOR. I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT CRASHED INTO A COUPLE OF CEMENT FENCE POSTS. AT THAT TIME THE ENGINE RETURNED TO AN IDLE SPEED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER, THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY INFO ON THIS TYPE PROBLEM AND ASKED ABOUT MY FLOOR MATS WHICH I DO NOT HAVE IN THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS NOT A STUCK PEDAL OR FLOORMAT ISSUE, AND MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ACCIDENTS AS I JUST PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE, MOST ACCIDENTS I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT WERE TRAVELING FORWARD. TO DATE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THROUGH TO TOYOTA TO REPORT THE ACCIDENT/INCIDENT AND THE LOCAL DEALER JUST GIVES YOU THE PHONE NUMBER TO CALL. WHEN YOU CALL THEY SAY ALL REPRESENTATIVES ARE BUSY AND WHEN YOU GO ON-LINE THE ONLY INFORMATION THEY ACCEPT OR GIVE IS REGARDING FLOOR MAT PROBLEMS OR STICKING PEDALS, NEITHER OF WHICH IS WHAT I EXPERIENCED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
BRAKE FAILURE ON 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE RUSTING OF FRAME, CROSS MEMBER AND PROPORTIONING VALVE MOUNT. LOST ALL BRAKING ABILITY WHEN EXITING I89 SOUTHBOUND EXIT 18 IN GEORGIA, VERMONT. NARROWLY AVOIDED A VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME AND ANOTHER ONCOMING VEHICLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF I89 AND US ROUTE 7. I REPORTED THIS EVENT TO TOYOTA THAT SAME MORNING AND WAS ISSUED A CASE NUMBER. ADVISED TO CONTACT LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER FOR IMMEDIATE INSPECTION. INSPECTION REVEALED CONDITIONS LISTED AT BEGINNING OF THIS STATEMENT AND SIGNIFICANT FLAKING/LOSS OF METAL ON MAIN RAILS OF FRAME. TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT TRUCK COULD NOT BE REPAIRED WITHOUT INSPECTION OF VEHICLE BY TOYOTA REGIONAL REP. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY (BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE PRECEDING FRIDAY), LOCAL DEALER PROVIDED ME WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE AND ADVISED ME THAT THE END DECISION ON MY VEHICLE WAS TO REPLACE THE CROSS MEMBER AND PROPORTIONING VALVE. VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY REGIONAL REP. AND SERVICE MANAGER COULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH AN ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE FOR THE WORK DUE TO LACK OF A PART NUMBER FOR THE CROSS MEMBER. I LEARNED OF PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM BY TOYOTA AND OTHERS WHEN RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET. ALSO LEARNED THAT RECALL NOTICES WERE TO BE MAILED NLT END OF JANUARY 2010 (TOYOTA STATEMENT). TOYOTA REP ADMITTED THIS WAS NOT DONE AND RECALL LETTERS HAVE STILL NOT GONE OUT TO OWNERS. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT SUFFERS FROM EXCESSIVE FRAME ROT PRIMARILY IN THE FRONT PORTION OF THE TRUCK. MY FEAR IS AN IMMANENT AND PREMATURE FAILURE OF NEWYORK STATE MANDATED SAFETY INSPECTION, HEAVEN FORBID A FRONTEND COLLISION IN WHICH MY WIFE WHO IS THE PRIMARY OPERATOR OF THIS VEHICLE, COULD BE SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE READ AND HEARD OF SOME DEALERSHIPS REPLACING WHOLE TUNDRA FRAMES AS WELL AS SIMPLY BUYING BACK THE VEHICLES FROM THE CURRENT OWNERS. I VISITED A NEARBY TOYOTA DEALER WHO ANGRILY INFORMED ME THAT " NO SUCH PROBLEM EXISTS" YET WHEN I CONTACT OTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS, THEY ADVISE ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I AM LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH CONCERNING THIS MATTER. IT'S BEEN A GOOD TRUCK OTHERWISE, BUT I AM NOT GOING TO POTENTIALLY JEOPARDIZE THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY SIMPLY BECAUSE A MANUFACTURE WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCTION SHORTCUTS,OVERSIGHTS AND MISTAKES. AT THIS CURRENT TIME IN TOYOTA HISTORY, IT'S TIME TO FIX THE RECURRING PROBLEMS AND SHORTFALLS THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS TO SLIDE BY THE CONSUMER BEFORE THE CONSUMER DICTATES THEIR FATAL DEMISE AS A COMPANY. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT; TRAFFIC BEGAN TO MOVE AS I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK SURGED, ACCELERATING SUDDENLY. IT HAPPENED SO QUICK I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO REACT AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME (THE ACCELERATOR DID RETURN TO IDLE). I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS MY FAULT UNTIL I STARTED HEARING ALL THE REPORTS REGARDING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH TOYOTAS. I HAD, AND CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING ONCE EVERY 6 WEEKS OR SO. ALL THE PREVIOUS TIMES THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME. I AM NOW VERY CAUTIOUS, AND HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE TOYOTA DEALER PER THEIR RECALL LETTER. *TR

I HAVE 2008 TUNDRA THAT WAS RECALLED FOR 'ACCELERATION PROBLEMS' AND OSTENSIBLY FIXED, ALTHOUGH I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED "ANY" PROBLEMS. NOW THAT IS HAS "BEEN FIXED" I DO HAVE A PROBLEM. FROM A STAND-STILL POSITION, I WILL DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENS. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ACCELERATOR WILL ENGAGE CAUSING MY TRUCK TO, ALL OF A SUDDEN, JUMP (ACCELERATE). IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME....BUT I'M AFRAID THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AT A STOP LIGHT WHERE I WISH TO BEGIN FORWARD - NO RESULTS AND THEN A POSSIBLE SURGE WHERE I COULD POSSIBLE HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

WHY HAVE MY ODI'S NOT BEEN ADDRESSED ? 10183308, 10288886, 10293097, 10293888, 10314732. I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT HAS PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE NOV. 2006. THAT IS WHEN I PURCHASED IT. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME I DIDN'T HAVE REPAIR ORDERS WRITTEN UP. I AM NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT'S FINE. BUT REGARDLESS I WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN OCT. 2009 DUE TO SUA. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALER AND MY INSURANCE CARRIER. THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT BY A FACTORY REP. IT WAS DECIDED BY TOYOTA THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA TO GET AN ESTIMATE ON REPAIRS. THAT WAS A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF JUST UNDER $2000.00. I WAS TOLD NOT TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE UNTIL I HEARD FROM TOYOTA. TO THIS DAY OF MARCH 5, 2010 THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE THE TRUCK FIXED BECAUSE I WAS HOPING TOYOTA WOULD, AS MR. BURTON FROM TEXAS TOLD JIM LENTZ, "IF YOU KNOW WHERE A VEHICLE IS THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED GO GET THAT VEHICLE, I DON'T CARE IF IT COST ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, GO GET THAT VEHICLE. I MUST SAY MR. LAHOOD YOU HAVE DONE THAT. THIS IS THE REASON MINE IS NOT REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN WRITING EMAILS TO ANYONE THAT CARED. THE TRUCK IS STILL HERE? I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH PEOPLE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT GETTING MY VEHICLE PURCHASED BACK AND THEN THEY CAN TEST IT. I'M REMINDED ALL THE TIME THAT MINE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I SAY SO WHAT! IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AND DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO BE A PASSENGER. IT IS A TIME BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF. LIKENED TO RUSSIAN ROULETTE WHENEVER YOU TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE GONE OUT AND "GOT THAT VEHICLE". WHEN SIR, WILL YOU GET MINE? I HATE WASTING MONEY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DISMANTLED AND GONE TROUGH WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB. I ALSO SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY PERSON THAT MAY BUY THE VEHICLE TO DISCLOSE THE IMPERFECTIONS ABOUT THE VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I HAD MY TUNDRA RUN AWAY WITH ME TWICE; BOTH TIMES IT OCCURRED WHEN I WENT TO PASSING GEAR WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. PROSPECT MOTORS IN JACKSON CA LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS THE FLOOR MAT. I ARGUED WITH THE SERVICE GUY, BUT HE WOULDN'T LISTEN. I KNOW FOR SURE THAT DURING THE FIRST OCCURRENCE THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS SECURED. AND I WOULD BET THAT IT WASN'T THE ISSUE WITH THE SECOND INCIDENT. I USE CRUISE CONTROL A LOT BUT NO LONGER LEAVE IT ON WHEN USING PASSING GEAR. THE FIRST TIME INCIDENT, I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN SPEED CONTROL BY STOMPING ON BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS PETALS. I WAS NEVER ABLE TO REGAIN SPEED CONTROL DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT. I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET AND PULL AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE TRYING TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. ONCE OFF THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. WE ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ANY INFORMATION OR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I HAVE NO FAITH IN TOYOTA'S REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,000. UPDATED 03/10/10 *BF THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT NO CHANGES BE MADE TO HIS COMPLAINT. UPDATED 05/10/10
