TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
LOW MILEAGE, TWO YEAR OLD FRONT TIRES BEGINNING TO SEPARATE AT INNER SIDEWALLS, MAKING VIBRATIONS ABOVE 50+ MPH AND SHAKING VEHICLE SO BAD ALMOST UNDRIVEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALIGNMENT SHOP SAID GET THEM CHECKED. RE-BALANCING TIRES HAD NO EFFECT, MOVED FRONT TIRES TO REAR THEN BED OF TRUCK WOULD VIBRATE AT SPEED. REPLACE THE 2 TIRES IN QUESTION AND PROBLEM RESOLVED. HAD TIRE SHOP LOOK AT THE TIRES AND THEY FOUND TREAD SEPARATION AT INNER SIDEWALLS OF BOTH SUSPECT TIRES. CALLED MANUFACTURED FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OR REFUND AND THEY NEEDED A RMA FORM FILLED OUT BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO SELLS THIS BRAND OF TIRE BEFORE A RETURN COULD BE ACCEPTED. ORIGINAL PURCHASE WAS ONLINE FROM WALMART FOR PICKUP AT LOCAL STORE. WALMART HAD NO RECORD OF THE TIRE SELLER WHO SUPPLIED ONLINE WALMART SALES. MANUFACTURER REFERRED ME TO A 'DISCOUNT TIRE' STORE LOCALLY THAT MANUFACTURER HAD PREVIOUS CONTACT WITH AND DEALT IN THIS BRAND OF TIRE. CONTACTED THE SUGGESTED STORE AND SALESMAN NEEDED TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER FIRST TO KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. AFTER A CALLBACK FROM STORE, SALESMAN TRIED TO DIAGNOSIS THE TIRE PROBLEM OVER THE PHONE WITHOUT ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE TIRES AND SAID TIRES WERE PROBABLY OUT OF ROUND. I HAVE THE TWO TIRES AND STILL PONDERING FOR A SOLUTION.

CHASSIS RUST AND HOLES IN THE FRAME. OBVIOUSLY LARGE RUST HOLES IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FRAME BEHIND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. FRAME HOLES CAUSE GREAT CONCERN FOR THE OVERALL OPERATIONAL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. I CONSIDER THIS DEGREE OF RUST DEGRADATION EXCESSIVE AND A CRAFTSMANSHIP DEFECT. HEAVY STEEL VEHICLE FRAMES SHULD NOT EXHIBIT RUST HOLES TO THIS DEGREE. UPON RECALL NOTICE AND INSPECTION BY TOYOTA, THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A CNC UNDERCOAT TO MUCH OF THE CHASSIS/FRAME AS A MEASURE TO PREVENT FURTHER/FUTURE RUST FORMATION. OBVIOUSLY, THE UNDERCOAT WAS INSUFFICIENT AT PREVENTING FURTHER RUST FORMATION ON THIS PART OF THE FRAME. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE RUST HOLES APPEARED. I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE WHEN ANSWERING THE QUESTION OF "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN", BUT IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THE RUST FORMATION HAS BEEN IN EXISTANCE FOR MANY MONTHS TO YEARS.

MY VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR FRAME RUST, WITH A COATING, BUT IT IS APPARENT THAT TOYOTA DID NOT REPAIR ALL AREA'S AS TODAY DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY SHOCKMOUNT COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HIT SEVERAL CARS, AND PIECES OF THE MOUNT FLEW BEHIND ME INTO TRAFFIC. FROM THE OUTSIDE THIS TRUCK LOOKS TO BE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, HOWEVER THE TOW DRIVER LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAID HE COULD NOT BELIEVE THE RUST DAMAGE. MY VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN DEEMED UNSAFE AND NOT ROADWORTHY. MY FEAR IS HOW MANY UNSUSPECTING OWNERS ARE THERE THAT THOUGHT THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE CORRECTLY, AND COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF THESE GO UNTREATED, REPAIRED OR REPLACED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE MAIN OUTERBELT FREEWAY IN COLUMBUS, I-270 AT 60-65 MPH WHEN THE PART CAME OFF.

ON 11-5-2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA, DOWN A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SNAPPING, BREAKING NOISE AND THE RIGHT FRONT OF MY TRUCK COLLAPSED AND TRUCK VEERED TO THE RIGHT. MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS THAT I HAD A BLOWOUT. THERE WAS ENTRANCE TO CIRCLE K APPROXIMATELY 40-50 FEET AWAY. SKIDDING ALONG I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND OFF THE STREET. WHEN I GOT OUT TO CHECK I SAW THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD COLLAPSED UNDER THE VEHICLE HAD SKIDDED ON THE TIRE AND RIM. THE TIRE WAS STILL HOLDING AIR BUT WAS SCRAPED DOWN TO THE CORD. THERE WERE NO POTHOLES OR ANY DEBRIS IN THE ROAD. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, PRIMARILY JAPANESE, AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED. BALL JOINTS WERE COMPLETELY BROKEN AND ALSO RUINING ABS SPEED SENSOR AND BRAKE HOSE. SEE ATTACHED INVOICE. MECHANIC ALSO DID A DIAGNOSIS ON THE ENTIRE FRONT END. ON 11-14-2019 PER THE ADVICE OF MY MECHANIC I HAD THEM REBUILD L BALL JOINTS AND LOWER AND UPPER CONTROL ARM. SEE ATTACHED INVOICE. I STILL HAVE NOT REPLACED THE R CONTROL ARMS WHICH THEY HAVE ADVISED I DO ASAP. IT WAS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT MYSELF OR NO ONE ELSE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *LN VEHICLE WAS TOWED.*JB

HI, I HAVE A 2001 TUNDRA THAT THE FRAME IS SHOT ON. I HAVE FIXED IT A FEW TIMES TO TRY TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD BUT IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. ITS TO THE POINT WHERE I FEEL ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ANYMORE BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX IT. THEY SAY IT DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THEIR FRAME RECALL. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE BEINGS THEY HAVE REPLACED THOUSANDS OF FRAMES FOR CORROSION SO CLEARLY THEY KNOW ITS AN ISSUE BUT YET MINE DOESN'T QUALIFY. THE FRAME RUSTED COMPLETELY IN HALF BEHIND THE CAB AND I WELDED IN A STEEL PLATE SO I COULD DRIVE IT AGAIN. IT ALSO HAS LARGE HOLES IN VARIOUS OTHER LOCATIONS OF THE FRAME AS WELL. THIS IS A BIT RIDICULOUS AS THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 135K MILES ON IT.

MY BALL JOINTS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED THIS MORNING WITHOUT WARNING (NO KNOCKING/RATTLING/VIBRATION/ETC.). LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING 15 MPH. I AM CONCERNED THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF AN ISSUE WITH THE BALL JOINTS THAT COULD CAUSE THIS FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. I AM WORRIED FOR FUTURE INCIDENTS THAT WOULD NOT BE SO LUCKY AND HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH OR MORE (WHICH I WAS DOING 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING). I UNDERSTAND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT THIS IS A SUDDEN, CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND LIKELY TO KILL PEOPLE. NORMAL BALL JOINT WEAR LOOSENS THE BALL JOINT AND MAKES A RATTLING NOISE, THIS ISSUE BINDS THE BALL JOINT WITH NO WARNING AND BREAKS IT OFF. I CALLED TOYOTA AND WAS DECLINED ANY INFORMATION RELATING TO TRENDING AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT WEAR AND TEAR. THIS WAS IN SPITE OF KNOWLEDGE I HAVE OF OVER 533,000 RECALLS OF BALL JOINTS ON SIMILAR MODELS WITH SIMILAR SUSPENSIONS. THE TOYOTA PERSONNEL I SPOKE WITH WOULD NOT EVEN ADMIT TO ANY RECALLS OF SUCH LIKE INCIDENTS. TOYOTA SEEMED COMPLETELY UNCONCERNED AND EVEN WORRIED THAT IF THEY PROVIDED INFORMATION LIKE THIS TO OTHER TUNDRA OWNERS THAT THEY WOULD BE "LIABLE" AND EXPECTED TO PAY TO HAVE THEM FIXED. IT SEEMED TOYOTA WAS HAPPY TO SIT BY AND WATCH THE NEXT WHEEL GO FLYING OFF THEIR TUNDRAS/SEQUOIAS (AND POTENTIAL FATALITY) AT THE RISK OF HAVING TO COMMUNICATE AN ISSUE TO CUSTOMERS. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO KNOW THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXISTING BALL JOINT ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE PERFORMED A PM ON MINE!

BOUGHT TRUCK NEW IN 8/2001. BROUGHT TRUCK TO DEALER WHEN IT WAS RECALLED FOR RUST IN 2012 AND WAS TOLD RUST WASN'T BAD ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING. BROUGHT TRUCK BACK TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER 2012 (LAST IN 11/18) AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE ON EACH OCCASION. IN 8/2019 I HEARD A SQUEAK FROM UNDERCARRIAGE AND WHEN I LOOKED, THE SPARE TIRE CROSSMEMBER WAS HANGING DOWN AND THE RIGHT SIDE UPPER SHOCK MOUNT WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND THE TOP OF THE SHOCK WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK BED (TOP SHOCK MOUNT WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY). LOCAL SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME TO REMOVE THE SHOCK AND SPARE TIRE FOR SAFETY. THIS RUST IS LIMITED TO THE UPPER SHOCK MOUNT AND THE CROSSMEMBER HOLDING THE SPARE TIRE. OTHER CROSSMEMBERS AND FRAME RAILS ARE ALL STABLE WITH ONLY THE AMOUNT OF SURFACE RUST EXPECTED ON A 18 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER DID A THOROUGH EXAM OF THE TRUCK IN 2012, 2018 OR OTHER VISITS I MADE WHEN I PROMPTED THEM TO CHECK THE RUST AS IT RELATED TO THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE CAMPAIGN FOR RUST WAS OVER THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. BASED ON THE FACT OF ONLY 2-3 AREAS OF CATASTROPHIC RUST ON THE FRAME AND COMPONENTS WHILE THE REST OF THE FRAME AND CHASSIS IS WEARING APPROPRIATELY I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RE-INSTATED - OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT - NO CORROSION INHIBITED APPLIED. THE VEHICLE IS STILL MECHANICALLY PERFECT BUT THE FALLING SPARE TIRE AND BROKEN SUSPENSION CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY THAT COULD BE PREVENTED WITH A RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THE TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT DO A THOROUGH INSPECTION. I ALSO QUESTION WHY I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF INDIVIDUALS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHO WERE GIVEN ANTI-CORROSION TREATMENT OR OTHER EFFORTS MADE TO STOP THE RUST FROM GETTING WORSE - BUT NOTHING WAS DONE BY TOYOTA TO MITIGATE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT GOT TO THIS CATASTROPHIC LEVEL.

THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR CORROSION/RUSTED FRAMES ON 2000-2001 TOYOTA TUNDRAS IN WHAT TOYOTA DEFINED AS SEVERE COLD WEATHER STATES. IOWA WAS NOT INCLUDED. WHY? WE HAVE A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH ONLY 120,000+MILES ON IT THAT NOW HAS A RUSTED OUT WHOLE THE SIZE OF MY FIST IN ITS FRAME. I DO NOT HAVE A PHOTO TO ATTACH, BUT CAN GET ONE IF NEED BE. WE'VE TALKED TO THE DEALER AND TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE LOOKED UP THE VIN AND SAID IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. WHY? IOWA IS A COLD WEATHER STATE! THIS TRUCK CAME THRU PRINCETON IN. HOW COME TOYOTA GETS TO DECIDE WHAT STATES THE RECALL APPLIES TO? ACCORDING TO THE TUNDRA RECALL BLOG, HTTPS://WWW.TUNDRAS.COM/THREADS/2000-TUNDRA-FRAME-REPLACEMENT.7215/, THEY ARE STILL FIXING TRUCKS IN NEW YORK AS OF 2018. DOESN'T IOWA COUNT? HOW MANY OTHER TRUCKS ARE OUT THERE ON OUR HIGHWAYS WITH THE SAME ISSUE? *JS *TT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ON THESE FIRST GENERATION TUNDRAS ARE ALL PRONE TO EARLY FAILURE WHEN USING ANY OTHER BRAND THAN OEM. I HAVE TALKED TO DOZENS OF FIRST GEN OWNERS AND ALL AGREE THE LOWER BALL JOINTS ON THE TRUCKS ARE A HUGE WEAK POINT. I HAD MY DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL COME OFF OF MY TRUCK WHILE TURNING DOWN A STREET IN A BUSY INTERSECTION, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY TUNDRA. THE WHEEL WENT ABOUT 50 FEET AND STOPPED BY COLLIDING WITH A PARKED CAR. THE SUSPENSION OF MY TRUCK ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ROAD.

VEHICLE FRAME HAS SUFFICIENT RUST INCLUDING HOLES IN THE FRAME. THERE WERE TWO RECALLS DEALING WITH THIS RUST ISSUE, NEITHER FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE FOR TOYOTA INCLUDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS - BUT THOSE DIDN'T INCLUDE 2001 TUNDRA. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED NEW, THE DEALERSHIP THAT UNDERCOATED OVER TOP OF THE RUST (SECOND RECALL - HAD THERE BEEN HOLES IN THE FRAME 10MM OR LARGE, THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE FRAME AT THAT TIME. BUT THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO BEAD BLAST OR WIRE BRUSH WHICH MOST LIKELY WERE HAVE PRODUCTS SEVERAL HOLE GREATER THEN 10MM), AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS. BECAUSE THE RECALLS WERE CLOSED, THEY ALL SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY ARE WILLING TO DO. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND FRAME REPLACEMENT IS ESTIMATED TO BE $15,000 WHICH IS MORE THEN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. I ALSO DON'T WANT TO SELL A VEHICLE THAT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE.
