SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA WAS IN FOR SERVICE THE MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS TRUCK SO I AGREED TO LET TOYOTA REPLACE MY BALL JOINTS (RECALL NO: 70B) AFTER THE REPLACEMENT WAS DONE THE VEHICLE STEERING BEGAN TO FADE TO THE LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT IT NEEDED A FEW ADJUSTMENTS AFTER DRIVING IT AGAIN THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK FOR A FEW MONTHS I FOUND THAT MY TIRES WERE WEARING DUE TO FEATHERING TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT ALSO THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO HOLD STRAIGHT IN LINE WHILE DRIVING WHEN I WOULD RUN OVER A SMALL DEPRESSION IN THE ROAD THE STEERING WOULD PULL ME IN TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I DROVE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER 08/06/2007 THEY DID A SERIES OF TEST BUT NOTHING WORKED. FINAL WORDS YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CONSUMER COMPLAINT LINE AND LOW AND BEHOLD A RECORDING CAME ON ADDRESSING SYMPTOMS WITH THE TUNDRA THE DEAL IS I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS THEY DESCRIBED IT ON THE RECORDING UNTIL AFTER THEY REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
I BOUGHT THIS TOYOTA BRAND NEW. I HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT THE HORN ON MY TOYOTA NOT BEING VERY LOUD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN THE HORNS OFF AND BOUGHT ANOTHER SET OF HORNS THAT ARE 2 WIRE FOR CONNECTION. YOUR HORN IS ONE WIRE AND THE FRAME OF THE HORN IS THE GROUND. FINALLY I FIGURED OUT, AFTER THE SWITCH, WHY YOUR TOYOTA HORN IS NOT WORKING OR IS WORKING POORLY. YOUR DESIGN RELIES ON THE CASE OF THE HORN GROUNDING TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE FOR THE NEGATIVE POLE. THE WHOLE HORN IS PAINTED SO THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF GROUNDING TO NEGATIVE POLE. THE MOUNTING BRACKET IS PAINTED, FURTHER HAMPERING THE NEGATIVE CONNECTION. THE MOUNTING BOLT AND FRAME ARE PAINTED MAKING A NEGATIVE CONNECTION ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW. THE HORN IS REQUIRED AND SHOULD BE WORKING VERY WELL AND NOT MARGINALLY. THE HORN ON THE TOYOTA IS MARGINALLY SAFE. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT MY TRUCK AND ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING ALONG WHEN IT DIED. ANYTIME I CAME TO A FULL STOP IT DIED. TURNS OUT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THEIR PLANETARY GEAR EVEN THOUGH IT MALFUNCTIONS.

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA TWO MONTHS AGO. WITH LESS THAN 9,000 MILES ON BRIDGESTONE DUELER TIRES, THE LEFT REAR TIRE PRETTY MUCH DISINTEGRATED WHILE TRAVELING ON I10 AT 75 MILES PER HOUR. THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE MAIN PART OF THE TIRE. THERE WAS NO BANG AND THE TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED. IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR A DESIGN FLOW. I KEPT THE REMAINS OF THE TIRE AS WELL AS THE OTHER THREE TIRES AND PURCHASED A SET OF 4 NEW TIRES OF A DIFFERENT BRAND. *TR
