VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND TODAY, THE ENGINE STALLED AT THE FIRST LIGHT I STOPPED AT. WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WOULD IDLE, BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL. SINCE I WAS ON AN INCLINE, I COULD NOT GO FORWARD SO I HAD TO REVERSE SLOWLY BACK TO A PARKING LOT. WHEN WE HOOKED UP THE OBDII CODE PULLER, IT CAME BACK WITH A P1121 CODE. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET WHAT THIS WAS AND FOUND OUT IT HAS TO DO WITH AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR (APPS). WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AFTER PULLING THE CODE, IT APPEARS TO BE WORKING FINE. I DO NOT HAVE A WARM AND FUZZY FEELING ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE NOW. I AM GLAD THIS OCCURRED AT A RELATIVELY QUIET INTERSECTION AND NOT ON A BUSY ROAD OR HIGHWAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES AND SEEMS TO BE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION YOU CAN GET YOURSELF INTO. I AM HOPING THERE IS A GOOD REASON FOR THE SENSOR IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
THE SPARE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE CROSS MEMBER ON MY 2001 TUNDRA. FORTUNATELY I WAS AT SLOW SPEED. I NOW KNOW YOU HAVE OPENED AN INVESTIGATION BUT WANTED TO BE SURE TO LOG THE ISSUE. MY TRUCK IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE AND TOYOTA HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT YET. I THINK IT IS TIME THAT YOU REQUIRE TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE FRAME AND ALL ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS. THIS IS NOT ISOLATED TO JUST THE REAR CROSSMEMBER, THERE IS RUST THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
ON JANUARY 2, 2010 THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL FELL OFF DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE LOWER BALL JOINT. THE WHEEL HAPPENED TO COME OFF OF THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 25 MPH. MY VEHICLE IS A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA, 8 CYLINDER 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK. I DEMAND THAT THE GOVERNMENT TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO PREVENT DEATH AND INJURY FROM THIS APPARENT DEFECT. *TR

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK BOUNCES ON CERTAIN CONCRETE HIGHWAYS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH. YOU CAN'T EVEN TALK BECAUSE OF IT. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING AT ALL, I HAD A HEADACHE BECAUSE OF ALL THE BOUNCING AROUND AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY CHILDREN SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT WHERE IT'S MOST PRONE. THE BOUNCE GETS SO BAD AT TIMES IT SEEMS THE TRUCK COULD LOSE CONTROL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1. TURNING RIGHT IN 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA OUT OF PARKING LOT AT WORK OR INTO TRAFFIC, I DECELERATE PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT AND REMOVE PRESSURE FROM GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE DURING THE TURN. WHEN I REAPPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL DURING THE TURN THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE ONLY THE ENGINE ACCELERATES. ADDING ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL ONLY CAUSES THE ENGINE TO ACCELERATE MORE. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES THE TRUCK SURGES FORWARD SUDDENLY. 2. THIS SLIPPING IN THE TRANSMISSION HAPPENS EVERY DAY. THE CONSEQUENCE OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IS WHEN WILL THE TRANSMISSION SLIP AND WHEN WILL THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGE. 3. HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER (2) TWO TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALER TELLS ME IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE TO REACT IN THIS MANNER. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PROBLEM WITH CRUISE CONTROL NOT DISENGAGING PROPERLY WHEN TAPPING THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE MUST BE PRESSED TO THE POINT OF ACTUAL BRAKING FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DISENGAGE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN WHILE TRYING TO DISENGAGE BY PRESSING THE BRAKE THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP AS IF I WAS ALSO PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THE MOST RELIABLE WAS TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL IS THE CONTROL ON THE SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL (MAIN CRUISE CONTROL ON MY TRUCK). WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK. *TR

TIRES
I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN AUG. AT NEARLY 3K MILES, BOTH THE FRONT TIRES - BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T P275 65R18 114T M+S - HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO EXTREME CUPPING. NOW AT CLOSE TO 8500 TOTAL MILES, FRONT TIRES ARE CUPPING AGAIN. DEALER TELLS ME TO "KEEP DRIVING," THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HAVE 4-5 DOCUMENTED CASES OF BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CUPPING SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST. I JUST EXAMINED TIRES AGAIN THIS MORNING AND THEY CONTINUE TO WEAR, OUTSIDE EDGES - CUPPING. ALIGNMENT ON VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMED TO SPECS NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA - 4X4. SEVERAL TIMES I NOTICED THAT IT HAD MOVED FROM WHERE I PARKED IT. IT HAD MOVED FROM THE SPOT THAT I HAD PLACED IT AND ROLLED BACKWARDS, DOWN A FAIRLY STEEP GRADE, A DISTANCE OF AROUND 20 FEET. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO REPLICATE THE INCIDENT AND DISCOVERED THE FOLLOWING: WHEN PARKED ON A HILL WITHOUT THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT "LOCK" IN PARK WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THIS CONDITION CAN BE REPLICATED ONLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO PARK IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING THE ANTI SKID (TRACTION CONTROL) RESPOND TO A SLIPPERY CONDITION. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE PROBLEM ALSO DOES NOT OCCUR IF THE AUTOMATED ANTI SKID RESPONSE DOES NOT ACTIVATE ITSELF. THE ROLLING DOES NOT ALWAYS BEGIN IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE NOT YET TRIED TO GET THE SAME RESPONSES WHILE BACKING THE TRUCK UP THE HILL IN REVERSE. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IN WARREN, OHIO ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2009. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ANYONE WHO MAY FIND THEMSELVES BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN IT BEGINS TO ROLL. *TR

STRUCTURE
COMPLAINT AND CONCERN REGARDING MY TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK, YEAR 2000. MY AUTO MECHANIC ADVISES ME THAT THE REAR FRAME, ALONG WITH THE SUPPORTS THAT ATTACH THE TRUCK BED TO FRAME HAVE RUSTED TO POINT THAT THEY ARE UNSAFE, AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. HE STATES THAT THE BED IS BECOMING UNSECURE DUE TO THE HEAVY CORROSION OF THE BRACKETS AND THAT PARTS OF THE FRAME WILL NEED TO BE REINFORCED WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR. THE RUST AND CORROSION IS VERY VISIBLE - AND ALL THIS IN SPITE OF FACT THAT THE TRUCK IS GARAGED AND VERY WELL MAINTAINED - LESS THAN 90 K MILES AND ONLY ONE DRIVER. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TRADE IT IN DUE TO THE HEAVY RUST PROBLEM OF THE FRAME AND BRACKETS. HE SAYS THAT IN AN ACCIDENT, THE TRUCK BED COULD FLY OFF IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED. *TR
