ENGINE
WHEN WEATHER GETS WARM (100F+), IT WILL OFTEN TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO START THE CAR. IT CRANKS OVER, BUT WON'T CATCH. WHEN WEATHER GETS TO 110F, IT WOULD FAIL TO START AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN, THEN PARKED. WAIT 90 MINUTES, AND IT WOULD STARTS AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE WHEN WEATHER IS 110F+, IT IS VERY VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK (THEY ARE USUALLY SUPER BUSY ON A HOT DAY) OR WAIT 90 MINUTES PLUS IN 110F+ WEATHER. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO FIX IT, AS THEY SAY THEY NEED TO WAIT FOR A 110F+ DAY TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE,

IN 2018 I BROUGHT MY 2007 TO MY DEALER (ACTON TOYOTA LITTLETON MASS.) TO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CHECK ON THE FRAME. THEY FOUND IT TO BE RUSTED ENOUGH TO KEEP IT SEVERAL DAYS FOR RUST TREATMENT . A YEAR OR SO LATER MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I HAD A SEVERE UNDERBODY RUST PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME TOYOTA REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF IT BECAUSE I WAS 2 WEEKS BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. TOYOTA ORIGINALLY REPLACED A LOT OF THE RUSTED FRAMES AND ALSO TREATED OTHERS. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES AND MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL THAT THE RUST PROTECTION WAS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO PACIFY CUSTOMERS LIKE MYSELF .

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF NO POWER STEERING. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND LOOKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING OUT OF MY TIE ROD BOOT. I IMMEDIATELY GOT TO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY AUTOMATICALLY KNEW WHAT IT WAS, THE RACK AND PINION BLEW OUT. SO CLEARLY IT'S A TOYOTA THING I FIGURED. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT FIXED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY BUT I STARTED DOING RESEARCH ON FORUMS AND MANY FACEBOOK GROUPS DEVOTED TO TOYOTA TUNDRAS AND DAILY I SEE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR RACK AND PINION GOING OUT AND DAYS AFTER MY FRIEND ALSO HAD HIS GO OUT ON HIS TUNDRA. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM TOYOTA HAS AND IT EITHER NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR FIXED SOMEHOW SO PEOPLE CAN BE SAFE AND NOT ALMOST GET IN AN ACCIDENT LIKE I DID. WHEN TOYOTA EVEN ACKNOWLEDGES IT AND REFUSES TO NOT FIX IT, THAT THROWS THE RED FLAG RIGHT THERE AND THEY CLEARLY UNDERSTAND IT'S A PROBLEM. THE FIX AMOUNTED TO $1937 DOLLARS ALSO.

THE FRAME - BOTH RAILS - IS RUSTED THRU AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. YOU ARE ABLE TO PUT YOUR FINGER RIGHT THRU ONE OF THE RAILS AND THE OTHER YOU COULD POKE THRU WITH A BALL PEEN HAMMER. IT IS AT THE VERY END OF THE RAILS SO THERE IS NO WAY TO WELD A PIECE ON IT. THIS WAS NOTED ON 9/15/20 BUT CANNOT TELL WHEN IT FIRST STARTED THE RUSTING PROCESS - HAS BEEN PASSING INSPECTION EVERY YEAR.

THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ON THE FRAME A FEW YEARS AGO, I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AT THE TIME , THEY INSPECTED IT AND SAID THE FRAME WAS FINE, THEY CLEANED IT AND PERFORMED AN UNDERCOATING. I RECENTLY WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR AN ALIGNMENT, THE ALIGNMENT WOULD NOT HOLD AND THEY BROKE A BRAKE LINE. WHEN THE DEALER WENT TO PRICE OUT THE BRAKE LINE THEY DISCOVERED THE FRAME WAS ALL ROTTED OUT AND WOULD NOT REPAIR THE LINE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO PUT ON A LIFT DO TO THE FRAME ROT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE RECALL ON THE FRAME HAD EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. THE DEALER PROVIDED THE 800 NUMBER FOR TOYOTA, I CALLED THEM AND RECEIVED THE SAME INFO, THE TIME PERIOD FOR THE FRAME RECALL EXPIRED. I DID WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO IN THE TIME FRAME, I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN AND TOLD THE FRAME WAS FINE. ALL THE UNDERCOATING THEY DID ONLY MASKED THE ISSUE . THE FRAME IS NOW ALL ROTTED ONLY A FEW YEARS LATER AND TOYOTA WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX IT. HOW DOES A FRAME GO FROM BEING INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND TOLD IT IS FINE TO A POINT WHERE THE DEALER WILL NOT PUT IT ON A LIFT BECAUSE OF THE ROT IN JUST A FEW YEARS? THE DEALER PROVIDED THE PICTURES OF THE ROT.

FIRST AND ONLY TIME I USED THE SUPPLIED JACK FOR MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS AS INDICATED IN OWNERS MANUAL AND WAS ON LEVEL GROUND AT TIME OF THIS PITIFUL JACK?S FAILURE. THE JACK DID NOT HOLD THE WEIGHT OF MY TRUCK WHEN I HAD TO REMOVE A TIRE. AS A RESULT, THE TRUCK FELL OFF OF THE JACK AND CAUSED MULTIPLE DAMAGE TO TIRE I USED (THANK GOD!!) AS A JACK STAND. THE ROTOR OF REAR PASSENGER SIDE WAS BENT AND THE LEAF SPRINGS OF THAT PASSENGER SIDE SHIFTED AND ARE NOW NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY.*DT CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS DAMAGE BY THE FAILED JACK. DEALER DID NOT OFFER TO REPLACE THE JACK AND STATED VEHICLE WAS PAST WARRANTY.*JB

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
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.
