ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA 32,500 MILES, BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED, THE DEALER STATES THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARR. AFTER A MONTH OF BACK AND FORTH WITH TOY. MAIN OFFICE. THEY TELL ME THEY WILL PAY LABOR AND 1/2 PART,I PAY THE REST ($350). THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM EXHAUST MANIFOLDS DON'T CRACK, THIS PROBLEM IS THE FIST LINE IN THE MSN REVIEW OF THIS CAR & ALL OVER THE WEB. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET "SATISFACTION & RELIABILITY" FROM TOYOTA JUST ADMIT THERE'S A DESIGN PROBLEM AND FIX IT..*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
THERE WAS A SEVERE VIBRATION IN MY FRONT BRAKES WHEN DRIVING WITH MY PICKUP BED LOADED WITH WOOD AND COMING DOWN A HILL. ALSO, HAPPENED TO A LESSER EXTENT WHEN PICKUP BED WAS EMPTY AND COMING OFF THE FREEWAY ON A DOWNSLOPE. HAD MY BRAKES SERVICED, AND WAS ADVISED OF TSB BR004-02. FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS, BACKING PLATES, BRAKE HOSES, WHEEL BEARINGS, OIL SEALS AND FLANGE BOLTS WERE REPLACED. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I HAD TO PAY OVER $2,000 PLUS TAX. I FEEL THIS IS WRONG DUE TO TSB SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE IS OBVIOUS DESIGN FAULT IN THE SIZING OF THE CALIPERS.*AK

CHILD SEAT:TETHER: STRAP/WEBBING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, CHILD SEAT
I AM A CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TECHNICIAN. I ASSISTED A CLIENT TODAY WITH THE INSTALLATION OF A GRACO "CARGO" CHILD RESTRAINT MODEL # 8487BEL EDOM 08/31/04. IN TRYING TO INSTALL THE SEAT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR OUTBOARD LOCATION OF A TOYOTA TUNDRA ACCESS CAB TRUCK, I FOUND IT ESSENTIALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE THE TETHER (TOP STRAP). THE VEHICLE MANUAL IS POORLY ILLUSTRATED AND THE PATH FOR THREADING THE STRAP BEHIND THE SEAT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE TYPICAL 2 INCH HOOK TYPE TETHER. PLEASE REVIEW THE MANUAL & CHECK THE VEHICLE. I EVENTUALLY INSTALLED THE SEAT IN THE CENTER WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY USING THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CENTER TETHER INSTALLATION. THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE REALLY UNACCEPTABLE.*AK

SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE VEHICLE ALMOST RESULTED IN LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS OCCURRED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS EACH TIME RESULTING IN BRAKE PROBLEMS. UNDER WARRANTY I HAD THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS TURNED AND DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE AT THE TIME. SINCE THEN THE FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THEN I DEVELOPED REAR BRAKE VIBRATIONS. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS
I OWN A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 MODEL. I AM EXPERIENCING EXTREME SHUDDERING IN THE WHOLE VEHICLE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. THIS PROBLEM WAS RELEVANT SIX MONTHS AND I TOOK IT TO PRECISION TOYOTA AND THEY ELEVIATED THE PROBLEM. NOW IT IS DOING IT. *AK AGAIN. MY ROTORS ARE WARPED (WITH NEW BALANCED TIRES). I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUD THAT THIS SHAKING IS PREVALENT IN 200-2002 TOYOTA TUNDRAS. I UNDERSTAND THAT TOYOTA CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT EXPECTS THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR A DEFECT THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT, INSTALLING LARGER CALIPERS.

TIRES
RECEMT RAINY WEATHER IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HAVE SHOWN THE OEM TIRES B.F.GOODRICH TIRES 265/70R16 RUGGED TRAIL ON MY 2003, TOYOTA TUNDRA TO BE DANGEROUS. THESE TIRES NOT ONLY SHOW SIGNIFICANT WEAR, AT ONLY 17000 MILES, BUT DANGEROUSLY SLIP AND SLIDE ON WET ROADS. ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, IN WET CONDITIONS, MY TRUCK SLIPPED OFF THE ROADWAY. ONE OCCASION, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO MY FRONT BUMPER. AT FIRST OPPORTUNITY I REPLACED THESE TIRES WITH BRIDGESTONE, DUELER AT REVOS, AN EXCEPTIONAL TIRE IN WET CONDITIONS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE ALERTED TO (1) THE RAPID WEAR CONDITION OF THESE OEM TIRES AND (2) THE POTENTIAL DANGER IN WET CONDITIONS. *AK

AIR BAGS
I WAS IN A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT THAT INVOLVED BOTH OF MY BUMPERS, THE FRONT BUMPER WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED. I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AT A FASTER SPEED THAN I WAS GOING AND I WAS PUSHED INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME (ANOTHER TUNDRA ONLY A 2004). I HAD OVER $8,000 IN DAMAGE AND I SUFFER FROM CERVICAL/NECK/SPINE INJURY AND SPRAINED RIGHT FOOT. I AM IN PHYSICAL THERAPY AND NEED AN MRI, AS I AM NOT HEALING AS I SHOULD BE. MY PROBLEM HERE IS THAT MY AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I AM NOW WORRIED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM, THE IMPACT I HAD AND INJURY TO MY BODY, SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED THEM.*AK

THE SECOND O2 SENSOR WAS OUT WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD BUT I DIDN'T FIX B/C I ALREADY HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE. OF 3, I WAS REIMBURSED FOR 1.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
PURCHASED A TOYOTA TUNDRA BRAND NEW WITH 16 MILES IN AUGUST 2004. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I NOTICED A HIGH-PITCHED SCRAPING NOISE OCCURRING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER TWO TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NO RESOLUTION THEY CONTACTED TOYOTA IN FLORIDA AND SENT A SOUTHEAST REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT. THE NOISE WAS OCCURRING WHEN THE TRUCK SHIFTED INTO OVERDRIVE WHILE DOING APPX. 30 MPH AND 1100 RPMS. LETTING OFF THE GAS CAUSED THE NOISE TO CEASE. GIVING GAS ALSO CAUSED THE NOISE TO CEASE. THE NOISE ONLY OCCURRED WHEN THE SPEED WAS MAINTAINED AT 30 MPH. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE STATED THE HE THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO LIVE WITH. HE ALSO STATED THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY REPORTED CASE THAT HE WAS AWARE OF. I TOLD HIM I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY $25,000 FOR A VEHICLE THAT WAS MAKING A STRANGE NOISE AND THAT HE COULD EITHER REPLACE THE TRUCK OR ELIMINATE THE NOISE. HE STATED HE WAS NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE TRUCK BUT THAT HE WOULD "CONSIDER" REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
I HAVE A HORRIBLE VIBRATION PROBLEM WHEN BRAKING. THIS IS CAUSED BY TOYOTA RELEASING BRAKE CALIPERS THAT ARE TOO SMALL. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKE PADS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES, MY ROTORS REPLACED, AND THERE THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY FOR ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO. THEN THE PROBLEM COMES RIGHT BACK. TECHNICIANS HAVE SUGGESTED THAT I REPLACE THE CALIPERS FOR LARGER CALIPERS. THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED BY TOYOTA'S DESIGN FLAW, NOT MY USE OF THE TRUCK. TOYOTA SHOULD RECAL THE BRAKE CALIPERS FOR 2000 TUNDRAS. THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE RELEASED SEVERAL TSBS REGARDING THIS AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM ON THE 2001 MODEL. IT'S REDICULOUS THAT YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET INJURED BEFORE TOYOTA WILL ACT ON THIS. OTHER COMPLAINT NUMBERS LOGGED REGARDING THIS ARE...566414 722135* 725801* 733474 739412 741099 742504 747783 747799 747802 747812 747815 747856 747859 747957 748143 748274 749042 749623 750085 751434 751551 751920 752164 752286 752739 752954 753085 753123 753140 753149 753155 753161 758565 761583 761833 763426 764214 764502 764958 767217 767230 767230 767332 767551 767755 767802 768683 785848 876163 877876 878199 879056 889900 890452 891102 894413 895595 898132 8001404 8001405 8004531 8012641 8015166 8015336 8015783 8019793 8020132 8023285 8023731 9003696 9005100 10008294 10008537 10008997 10014041 10016493 10017735 10018348 10018539 10018678 10020562.*AK PLEASE HELP PUSH THIS IF YOU CAN.

I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 39,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS GOING 15-20 MPH AND APROACHING A ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BALL JOINT SNAPPED. I HAD MY 4 MONTH OLD SON IN THE CAR WITH ME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT GETTING INTO A ACCIDENT BUT WONDER WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY. TOYOTA SAID I MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING IN ORDER FOR IT TO FAIL AND REFUSED TO CONTACT THE NHTSA AND REFUSED TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF HAVING IT FIXED. $1900.*AK
