SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAD A BRAKE LINE FAILURE ON MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA, THE REAR BRAKE LINE RIGHT ABOVE THE CROSS MEMBER BLEW. I TRIED TO BRAKE HARD FOR A PEDESTRIAN AND THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HIM. I WAS CLOSE TO MY MECHANIC SO I JUST LIMPED IT THERE WITH THE E-BRAKE. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, SUSPENSION:REAR
I CURRENTLY OWN A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA PICKUP TRUCK, BOUGHT IN 2003, AND HAVE GARAGED IT FOR 85% OF ITS LIFE, SPRAYED AND CLEANED THE UNDERCARRIAGE ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 90K ON IT. THE FRAME DOES HAVE RUST THROUGHOUT. ESPECIALLY WHERE THE SUSPENSION SUPPORTS ARE LOCATED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE HARDWARE THAT HOLDS THE BED TO THE FRAME AND THE WHOLE TRUCK TO THE FRAME IS RUSTED AND SOME OF THE THREADS OF THE FASTENERS ARE GONE. AM CONCERNED THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY AND ANYONE PASSING BY THE TRUCK WHILE IT IS IN MOTION. AM WONDERING WHAT THE OUT COME WILL BE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS COMPLAINT IS TO INCLUDE ODI #'S 10183308,10288886, AND 10293097. THE ODI #'S ARE ALL FOR THE SAME VEHICLE BUT ARE FOR DIFFERENT DATES IN WHICH THIS VEHICLE HAD SOMETHING TO REPORT THAT WAS DIFFERENT BUT WERE ASSOCIATED. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED ON NOV. 27TH 2009. I WAS PARKED ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT OF MY GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE APPLIED. FORTUNATELY I WAS SITTING BEHIND THE WHEEL AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE IGNITION OFF. I DO NOT KNOW THE RPM'S. MY WIFE WAS GETTING INTO THE TRUCK ON THE PASSENGERS FRONT. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE RACED AS IT WOULD HAVE AS DESCRIBED AS "UNINTENTIONAL SUDDEN ACCELERATION". THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE TRUCK DID THIS EXCEPT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK. BEING OUT IN THE DESERT AND THIS HAPPENING AND BEING IN THE GARAGE IN PARK SENDS OUT TO ME A MESSAGE THAT THIS TRUCK HAS A GLITCH IN IT THAT NOW HAS HAPPENED TWICE. IF I WAS NOT IN THE TRUCK, GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE REPORTED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION TO TOYOTA ALREADY. TOYOTA HAS LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AT MY DEALERS AND HAS SENT THE INFORMATION TO THEIR LEGAL DEPT. TO DECIDE WHAT THEY WILL DO. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THE LATEST INCIDENT. THE TOYOTA PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO CALL ME MONDAY THE 30TH. I SHALL TELL THEM ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AT THAT TIME. I HAVE ALREADY TOLD THEM THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE IMPOUNDED THE VEHICLE BUT INSTEAD THEY LET ME DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS TOYOTA NEEDS TO BUY THE TRUCK BACK AND MAKE ME WHOLE ON THE COMPLETE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE TRUCK. ONCE THAT IS DONE THEY CAN USE MY VEHICLE AS A TEST TRUCK.THE FLOOR MATS ARE THE CORRECT TOYOTA ISSUED WITH ONE KEEPER. MY GAS PEDAL DOESN'T HANG UP, SO POSSIBLY THEY WILL ACTUALLY HAVE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I REALLY HOPE THEY FIND WHAT THE ISSUE IS. BUT ONCE THEY SAY THAT "IT IS FIXED". I'LL WAIT ANOTHER YEAR BEFORE I AMUSE MYSELF TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TRUCK. I ALWAYS TRUSTED TOYOTA BUT NO MORE. *TR

STEERING, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I HAD TO REPLACE MY POWER STEERING RACK DUE TO RUST. THIS WAS DONE IN JULY OF 2008. WHEN THE SERVICE TECH (ACTUALLY ALL IN SHOP) LOOKED AT IT, THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THE PART WAS LITERALLY CRUMBLING IN THEIR HANDS. NOW IN NOV. OF 2009, I READ THAT TOYOTA IS SAYING THAT THIS TRUCK DID NOT RECEIVE THE PROPER RUST PROTECTION WHEN BUILT. I AM A LONG STANDING TOYOTA OWNER. THIS I HOPED TO HANDLED IN A WAY TO MAKE CUSTOMERS SATISFIED. TODAY I TOOK MY TUNDRA (LIMITED 4X4 ACCESS CAB) TO THE LOCAL DEALER (BYERS IN DELAWARE, OH) WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND SIMPLY TOLD ME "IT PASSED THE PERFORATION INSPECTION". WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE DETAILS, THEY REPEATED "IT PASSED". AS I HAD READ WHERE OTHER OWNERS WERE LOSING THEIR SPARE TIRE, I ASKED IF THE SPARE WAS REMOVED FOR THE INSPECTION. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAD TO ASK THE TECH. THE REPLY WAS "I LOOKED AROUND AND THROUGH IT AND 'IT' PASSED". OVERALL, THE RUST INSPECTION WAS GRADED AGAINST A SIMPLE "MULTI-POINT INSPECTION REPORT". THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC MENTION OF THE FRAME, STEERING RACK, OR CROSS MEMBER. ONE LAST TIME I ASKED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT AS I THOUGHT TOYOTA WAS OFFERING A CORROSION TREATMENT. ALL I WAS TOLD WAS "IT PASSED". I LEFT NOT FEELING HAPPY OR SAFE. TOYOTA AND THIS DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO FOCUS ON THEIR CUSTOMERS. I HAVE REVIEWED THE FRAME PROBLEM ON NHTSA, AND FOUND SEVERAL STEERING RACK COMPLAINTS FILED. I BELIEVE THAT THE FRAME IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE IS RUST PROBLEM, AND THAT THE STEERING RACK AND OTHER PARTS SHOULD BE REVIEWED. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5. HEADLIGHT LENS MATERIAL HAS BECOME BLURRED AND MORE OPAQUE IN RECENT YEARS, CAUSING DRIVING AT NIGHT TO BE LESS ILLUMINATED AND MORE HAZARDOUS. THIS BEGAN DEVELOPING A FEW YEARS AGO, APPROXIMATELY 2005. I ATTEMPTED TO USE A LENS POLISHING PRODUCT, BUT THAT PRODUCED ONLY MARGINAL IMPROVEMENTS. THE LENSES CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE OVER TIME, AND IT IS ONLY THE HEADLIGHT LENSES WHILE THE SAME LENS MATERIAL IS CRYSTAL CLEAR OVER THE MARKER LIGHTS. THE LENS MATERIAL WAS POORLY DESIGNED FOR USE WITH HEADLIGHTS AND APPEARS TO REACT POORLY TO THE HIGHER HEAT PRODUCED FROM THE HEADLIGHT BULBS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA WHICH IS EXPERIENCING A GREAT AMOUNT OF RUST UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED YESTERDAY REGARDING THAT PROBLEM. I LIVED IN FLORIDA FOR 6 MONTHS AND IN VERMONT THE OTHER 6 MONTHS. WE LEFT THE LATTER PART OF OCTOBER AND RETURN TO VT THE LAST PART OF APRIL OR EARLY MAY. I DO DRIVE THE TRUCK UP TO VT AROUND THE HOLIDAYS SO IT HAS EXPERIENCED A VT WINTER FOR 2 TO 3 WEEKS A YEAR. SEVERAL YEARS AGO THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF RUST ON THE BACK BUMPER AND THE UNDERSIDE. 2 YEARS AGO I HAD TO REPLACED ALL THE BOLTS ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM REPLACED DUE TO RUST. DUE TO A FLAT TIRE THIS PAST SUMMER I HAD TO USE THE SPARE. THE TIRE RIM WAS EXTREMELY RUSTY AS WELL AS THE HOLDER. I SPRAYED BOTH WITH OIL IN HOPES OF STOPPING THE RUST. THE FRONT SKID PLATE BOLTS WERE SO RUSTY THAT. YESTERDAY, THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE 4 BOLTS SAYING THE 5TH HOLE WAS SO RUSTY THAT IT COULD NOT ACCEPT THE BOLT. THE RECALL IS FOR NORTHERN TRUCKS ARE FOR STATES THAT USE ROAD SALT DURING THE WINTER BUT, GIVEN THE RUST ON MY TRUCK, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT 2 TO 3 WEEKS PER YEAR IN VT CAUSED THAT MUCH RUST. I BELIEVE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE METAL USED FOR THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK, THEREFORE I BELIEVE MY FL TRUCK SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL. EVEN THE DEALER COMMENTED ON THE AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE UNDERSIDE. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN USED ONLY FOR PLEASURE AND NOT COMMERCIAL USE. TO SUMMARIZE I WOULD REQUEST THAT MY TRUCK THAT WAS PURCHASED IN FL BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND BE SUBJECT TO THE INSPECTION THE SAME AS THE NORTHERN TRUCKS. ALTHOUGH WE LIVE A FEW MILES FROM THE GULF IN FLORIDA MY WIFE'S 2004 HIGHLANDER SHOWS NO UNDERSIDE RUST SO THE FLORIDA WEATHER CAN'T BE THE PROBLEM AND IT IN VT THE SAME TIME AS THE TRUCK EXCEPT FOR THE 2 TO 3 WEEKS AROUND THE HOLIDAYS. THANK YOU. *TR

I TOOK MY 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK TO A MECHANIC TO HAVE IT CHECKED OVER. I HEARD A NOISE, AND HE DISCOVERED THAT I HAD A PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE RUST TO THE FRAME. IT HAD JUST ABOUT 56,000 MILES ON IT. HE SUGGESTED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OF EXCESSIVE RUST CORROSION TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TUNDRA. UPON THERE INSPECTION THEY FOUND A HOLE IN THE FRAME AND EXCESSIVE RUST AND CORROSION. I CALLED TOYOTA AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECALL BUT THEY WERE DOING AN INVESTIGATION. *TR

WHEN RETURNING TO MY2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA, FROM A DOCTORS APPT, I NOTICED A POOL OF LIQUID, UNDER THE REAR AXLE OF THE TRUCK. HAVING WIFE BACK TRUCK UP, I CHECKED THIS VISCOUS, CLEARISH FLUID, FINDING IT TO BE A REAR END OIL/GREASE, AND HAD BEEN LEAKING FROM MID HOUSING OF THE REAREND. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I FOUND THIS HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR ENOUGH TIME THAT OIL SPOTS WERE ALL OVER THE REAR WINDOW OF AND TAILGATE OF TRUCK. I CALLED TOYOTA TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY WANTED ?$120 JUST TO LOOK AT IT, SO I BROUGHT TO A MECHANIC DOWN THE ROAD FORM TOYOTA AND HE FOUND THE REAR AXLE HOUSING HAD RUSTED THRU. HE IN 40 YEARS HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, AND WHILE SEARCHING FOR A REPLACEMENT REAR END, COULD ONLY FIND ONE "GOOD USED" ONE IN NEW ENGLAND. HE OBTAINED AND REPLACED MY DAMAGED ONE, FOR A COST OF >$1000. HE LATER TOLD ME HE HAD ANOTHER ONE COME IN LESS THEN A WEEK, SAME PROBLEM. AT HOME, I FOUND OIL HAD BEEN LEAKING FRONT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK FOR SOME TIME, EVIDENCED BY OIL ON THE GROUND AND WOOD NEAR WHERE THE BACK OF THE TRUCK WAS BACKED INTO DRIVEWAY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2002 TOYOTAS TUNDRA SR5 EXTENDED CAB: ON SUNDAY 8/15/09 BRAKES FAILED AND I EVACUATED VEHICLE BECAUSE OF SMOKE COMING OUT OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT. VEHICLE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP, MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT RACK AND PINION HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND BRAKE FLUID CAUSED THE SMOKE AS IT BURNED ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE BREAK LINES DID NOT FAIL IT WAS A HOLE IN THE ASSEMBLY THROUGH WHICH THE BRAKE FLUID ESCAPED. VERY SERIOUS INCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT HAS IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED, INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED TOYOTA ON 8/21/09 TO REPORT FAILURE AND FIND OUT IF THERE WAS RECALL, NUMBER CALLED, 800-331-4331 EXT 5, REF NUMBER FOR CALL 0908132654. TOYOTA INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. I AM REPORTING THIS INCIDENT NOW, 11/25/09, IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT RECALL FOR RUSTING FRAME MEMBER. MY LOSS A BRAKES RESULTED FROM THE CORROSION OF A COMPONENT THAT MY MECHANIC WAS SURPRISED TO SEE FAIL. THIS WAS A FIRST DURING HIS 15 YEARS WORKING AS A MECHANIC. *TR

THIS MORNING, AFTER BEING TOLD ABOUT A SPARE TIRE HOUSING RECALL ON TOYOTA TUNDRA, I INSPECTED THE AREA AROUND SPARE TIRE HOUSING AND NOTICED THAT THE FRAME ITSELF APPEARS TO BE ROTTING AND CORRODING. I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO REMOVE LARGE PIECES OF METAL FLAKING OFF THE FRAME. THE FRAME DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SAFE. WHEN I TAPPED THE FRAME WITH MY KNUCKLE, IT GIVES OFF A CRUNCHY NOISE AND HAS A GENERAL "GIVE TO THE FRAME" (SOMEWHAT SOFT). I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AFTER SEEING THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. HE SLIGHTLY TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THEN THE VEHICLES SPEED INCREASED AND CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES. AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, HE DID NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY BECAUSE HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. HE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER, IN WHICH A TECHNICIAN SPECIALIST WAS SENT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE SPECIALIST WAS ALSO UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,107. UPDATED 04/22/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER DID NOT STATED IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. UPDATED 06/14/10. *JB

SUSPENSION
I AM WRITING ON MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I JUST NOTICED THE RECALL DUE TO RUST FOUND ON THE REAR FRAME. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO ALERT YOU RUST FOUND ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION JOINTS. I JUST REPLACED MY FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS DUE TO RUST. THE LINKS SNAPPED OFF AND THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO LEAN MORE IN THE TURN OR CAUSE MORE BODY ROLL. THIS I BELIEVE IS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF YOU NEED TO PERFORM AND EMERGENCY MANEUVER THIS COULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO LOOSE CONTROL. WHILE I WAS UNDER THE TRUCK REPAIRING THE LINKS I DID NOTICE A LOT OF RUST IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION THAT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD FAIL. THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS HAVE HEAVY AMOUNTS OF RUST. I DID NOT LOOK AT THE SPARE TIRE BRACKET AS MENTION IN THE RECALL BUT I HAVE NOTICE THE RUST IN REAR SECTION OF THE FRAME. THE LOCATION BOTH SHOCKS HAVE HEAVY RUST AT THEIR POINTS OF ATTACHMENT AS WELL AS THE BREAK LINE HOLDERS. I HOPE YOU FIND THIS INFORMATION HELPFUL FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTION. *TR

SEVERE BRAKE VIBRATION. REPLACED FRONT BRAKE PADS, ROTORS & CALIPERS (W/ OEM PARTS) AROUND 72K. AT 92K TRUCK DEVELOPED A SEVERE BRAKING VIBRATION BOTH IN THE FRONT & REAR THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE SO BAD THAT IT WAS HARD TO CONTROL THE TRUCK WHEN BRAKING/STOPPING. AGAIN I REPLACED BOTH THE FRONT ROTORS & CALIPERS & HAD THE REAR BRAKE PIVOTS CLEANED & LUBED(AT THE DEALERSHIP). NOW 10K LATER I AM AGAIN STARTING TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME BRAKING PROBLEMS & VIBRATIONS. I SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKE PARTS AFTER 20K & I DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THAT SAME PROBLEMS 10K LATER. *TR
