SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING AFTER BRAKING THE TRUCK THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A SEVERE VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE TRUCK. IT FELT LIKE A LOOSE WHEEL. AFTER HAVING IT TO THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS I DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR BRAKES HAD BECOME SOMEWHAT FROZEN IN THE BRAKE SHOE BRACKET. THE PAD BRACKET IS MADE FROM A METAL THAT ROAD SALT BLISTERS AND IT BECOMES VERY ROUGH NOT LETTING THE BRAKE PARTICULARLY THE INNER PAD TO RETRACT. THE SHOE IS DIFFICULT TO REMOVE FROM THE BRACKET AND THE BRACKET HAS TO BE WIRED BRUSHED AND SANDED SO THAT THE BRAKE PAD CAN GLIDE EASILY. TWO OF MY SONS ALSO HAVE TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCKS ONE IS A 2010 AND THE OTHER IS A 2014 AND HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO HAD TO REMOVE THE BRAKES AND SAND THE BRACKET. THIS LOCKING OF THE PAD ALSO RUINS THE PADS CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR AND ALSO RUINS THE INNER SURFACE OF THE ROTOR. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE BRAKING ABILITY AND THE PREMATURE WEAR OF THE ROTOR AND BRAKE PADS.

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR AIRBAGS FROM TOYOTA WHO "STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU HAVE THIS SAFETY RECALL REMEDY PERFORMED IMMEDIATELY. IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS LETTER, YOU SHOULD NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE." WHEN CALLING FOR AN APPOINTMENT ON JULY 28, 2015 AT TOYOTA OF FORT WORTH, 9001 CAMP BOWIE W BLVD, FORT WORTH, TX I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 23, 2015. I'M UNABLE TO PARK THE VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS, IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. I BELIEVE THAT "TOYOTA HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME", WHAT IS MY RECOURSE?

THEIR HAS NOT BEEN AN INCIDENT YET, I AM JUST TRYING TO AVOID A BAD SITUATION, BUT NOT GETTING ANY HELP FROM TOYOTA'S END. I HAVE BROUGHT IN MY TUNDRA MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE AIRBAGS CHECKED OUT AND THEY ALWAYS SAID THEIR WAS NO PROBLEM. THEN NOW I RECEIVE A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL AND IMMEDIATELY CALL AND SETUP AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I AM FIXING TO LEAVE TOWN FOR A NEW JOB. WE SET ONE UP FOR JULY 30TH AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER I GET A CALL AND THEY CANCELLED THE APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE AIRBAG PARTS. I LEAVE TOWN THIS WEEKEND, THE 1ST, IN THE TUNDRA WITH THE RECALL AND WILL BE DRIVING AROUND TEXAS DOING COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION WORK. I AM TRYING TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THINGS DONE BUT THE MANAGER, JEFF, JUST PRETTY MUCH SAID OL WELL WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. HE NEVER OFFERED A RENTAL OR ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVE TO THEM NOT HAVING THE PARTS. I GOT A CALL FROM MEGAN AT THE CORPUS DEALERSHIP AND SHE HAS BEEN MORE THAN HELPFUL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION OR SOME ALTERNATIVE SO I AM NOT DRIVING AROUND IN A DEATHTRAP FOR THE NEXT 6 MONTHS. YOUR RENTAL POLICY WON'T WORK VERY WELL CONSIDERING I WORK 6-7 DAYS A WEEK AND WON'T BE NEAR A DEALERSHIP SO I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO JUST LEAVE MY NEW JOB TO COME SWITCH VEHICLES WITH YOU. THE INCONVENIENCE SHOULD BE ON THE DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER, NOT THE INDIVIDUAL WHO PAID FOR THE VEHICLE. I HOPE TO SEE SOME BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM TOYOTA, BUT I GUESS IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WHILE I HAVE TO DRIVE THE TUNDRA AROUND. I WILL JUST JOIN THE LAWSUIT

SERVICE BRAKES
THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN FULLY APPLIED, BEGAN FAILING TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TWICE BY THE DEALER. THE PARKING BRAKE PETAL WHILE FULLY PRESSED TO THE FLOOR, DOES NOT APPEAR STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE, ESPECIALLY WHEN PARKED ON A HILL. THE DEALER TRIED TO ADJUST THE PARKING BRAKE TIGHTER DURING A WARRANTY REPAIR ON 7/25/2015 . AS A RESULT, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS READJUSTED AGAIN BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY TO IT'S NORMAL POSITION. THE PARKING BRAKE CONTINUES TO FAIL TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE.

WHEN YOU FIRST START THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, WITHIN 20 SECONDS AT ANY SPEED, A LOUD PING/METAL HITTING METAL SOUND COMES FROM THE REAR GEAR DIFFERENTIAL BOX. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME AT ANY TAKEOFF SPEED. TOYOTA AND MY DEALER DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM.

TOYOTA IS BEING DISHONEST AND SCAMMING CONSUMERS ON THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON JULY 22 AND CALLED LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER THE SAME DAY. THEY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT ON JULY 28 TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL. THE LETTER FROM TOYOTA IS WRITTEN TO COVER THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND LIABILITY BY STATING TO NOT USE THE TRUCKS PASSENGER SEAT. THIS BASICALLY TAKES THE VEHICLE OUT OF USE FOR MANY THINGS A TRUCK PROVIDES OUTSIDE OF A SINGLE DRIVER. JULY 28 - THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TELLS ME AFTER 2 HOURS THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND I WILL NEED TO COME BACK AT A LATER DATE. AGAIN TOYOTA HAS LIMITED OR REMOVED MY ABILITY TO USE THE VEHICLE AS INTENDED. NO DATE ON PARTS WERE GIVEN BY TOYOTA DEALER. A JULY 28 CALL TO TOYOTA USA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER YIELDS THE FOLLOWING - TOYOTA STATES THEY TOLD THE DEALERS THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. TOYOTA SAYS THE DEALER SHOULD NOT HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA CAN NOT GET THE BASICS OF COMMUNICATIONS DOWN. BOTTOM-LINE - TOYOTA IS NOT DOING THE REPAIRS, DOES NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL AND VEHICLES HAVE TO BE LIMITED FOR USE OR NOT USED BASED ON THE TOYOTA "STRONGLY RECOMMENDS" LIABILITY STATEMENT TO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT AND HOPE SOMEONE FROM TOYOTA CONTACTS US WHEN THE PARTS ARE THERE AS I HAVE FULFILLED MY PART TO CONTACT TOYOTA AND RETURN THE TRUCK.

I AM DISABLED AND I KEEP RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES ABOUT AIRBAGS, AND FRAME RECALLS FROM TOYOTA, BUT THE LOCAL DEALERS TELL ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THEM. I AM UNABLE TO CARRY ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF SAFETY ADVISORIES AND THIS IS AFFECTING THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE, AND RISK OF INJURY TO MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGERS I MAY CARRY, AND INSURANCE COVERAGE BECAUSE OF THE RECALL NOTIFICATIONS. I SUFFERED DILIGENTLY TO PAY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I FIND IT'S AN UNSAFE PIECE OF JUNK THAT I CANNOT USE. I REALLY WANT THIS VEHICLE FIXED OR REPLACED WITH ONE THAT IS NOT UNSAFE.

SAFETY RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED ON THIS VEHICLE IN MAY, 2015 FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I CALLED THE EASTERN SHORE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, DAPHNE, AL AND SPOKE TO SERVICE TECH. BENJAMIN. BENJAMIN SAID TOYOTA IS NOT MANUFACTURING THE PARTS FOR THE RECALLED AIRBAGS SO THE AIRBAG CAN NOT BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. BENJAMIN SAID THE PARTS MANUFACTURER WILL NOT MAKE PARTS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2015. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO MAKE THE REPAIR AS STATED IN THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL. THE RECALL NOTICE SPECIFICALLY STATES TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE PROBLEMS WITH THE HUMIDITY AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR POTENTIAL DEATH TO ANYBODY IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PART IS TAKING SO MUCH TIME TO SEND THE PARTS TO MAKE REPAIRS.

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING OF THE TRUCK IS RUSTED THROUGH AND LEAKING GEAR LUBE, IF IT GOES UNNOTICED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL COULD LOCK UP CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP AND CAUSE A CRASH. THIS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2000-2003 TUNDRAS AND IS VERY UNSAFE, THERE IS NO REASON THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING SHOULD RUST THROUGH THIS QUICK, 30 YEAR OLD TRUCKS DO HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT A WHOLE LOT OF TOYOTA TRUCKS DO, IF YOU DO A SEARCH ON GOOGLE FOR RUSTED THROUGH DIFFERENTIALS ITS ALL TOYOTA TRUCKS, AND ITS NOT JUST A DIFFERENTIAL COVER ITS THE ENTIRE HOUSING, I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS IF IT HAD A COVER I WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT IN AN HOUR AND CALLED IT A DAY. THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK WAS ALREADY REPLACED BECAUSE IT RUSTED THROUGH AND NOW THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING IS RUSTED THROUGH DUE TO SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS USED IN ITS CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE JUST LIKE THE FRAME THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
