STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT STAY CENTERED AND THE POSITION WOULD CHANGE. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WAS STOPPED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAD SOME MOVEMENT FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I CHECKED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK DOWN NUT AND IT WAS TIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A SPLINE BUSHING THAT MATCHES UP WITH A MATCHING SPLINE ON THE SHAFT SO I COULD NOT SEE HOW THIS COULD MOVE. I REMOVED THE LOCKING NUT SO I COULD SEE THE WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHAFT CONNECT TOGETHER. WITH THE NUT OFF I NOTICED THAT THE SPLINE BUSHING DID NOT MOVE BUT THE STEERING WHEEL DID MOVE ON THE BUSHING. THERE WAS A POTENTIAL DANGER OF THE STEERING WHEEL COMING LOOSE SO THAT I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OR WORSE YET THE STEERING WHEEL COULD COME COMPLETELY OFF THE COLUMN. THIS PROBLEM CAN EASILY BE CHECKED AS I DID WITH THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE LOCKED POSITION. IF YOU HAVE ANY MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE LOCKED POSITION GET IT CHECKED IMMEDIATELY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON FILLING UP WITH FUEL AT VARIOUS FUEL STATIONS, WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND IS REMOVED FROM THE FILLER NECK, FUEL BEGINS TO COME BACK OUT THE FILLER NECK AND POUR OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 2000 MILES ON IT AND HAS DONE THIS FROM DAY ONE. THE SPILLS HAVE RANGED FROM A CUP FULL TO HALF A GALLON MAKING A HAZARDOUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. ANOTHER DEALER IN NM ADVISED SOME TOYOTA VEHICLES HAVE DONE THIS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE OVERFLOW VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. MY LOCAL DEALER HAS HAD ME RETURN SEVERAL TIMES EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE DEFECT. TOYOTA USA HAS ALSO NOT BEEN HELPFUL WITH TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY VEHICLE RECENTLY FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO FRAME RUST IN THE REAR AND POSSIBLY IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I PREVIOUSLY HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO INSPECT THE FRAME DURING A RECALL NOTICE. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS ALMOST 196,000 MILES AND SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER. BUT IT IS USELESS NOW AND THE FRAME RUST PROBLEMS OF THESE MODELS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE FRAME SHOULD BE ABLE TO LAST THE DURATION OF THE VEHICLE AND TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG RECALL. ALAN JAY TOYOTA REMOVED ORIGINAL AIR BAG BECAUSE OF RECALL THEN REPLACE AIR GAB WITH A USED SALVAGE AIR BAG. AFTER I COMPLAINED TO MANAGER, THEY TRIED TO CLEAN UP AIR BAG COVER SO IT WOULD MATCH DASH. THEY COULDN'T GET CLEAN OR REMOVE THE STICKY TACKY SUBSTANCE ON COVER. THEY SAID IT WAS A NEW AIR BAG AND THAT WAS THE WAY THEY COME OR MUST OF GOTTEN DIRTY INSTALLING. I SAID I DON'T BELIEVE THAT EXPLANATION SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW AIR BAG. ON A FOLLOW UP CALL TO GET NEW AIR BAG REPLACEMENT THEY SAY NOW THEY WANT TO CLEAN IT UP AGAIN AND PAINT TO MATCH DASH COLOR. THE PHOTOS ARE AFTER THEY CLEANED AIR BAG COVER AND SAID IT WAS BRAND NEW. I DON'T FEEL THIS IS THE WAY THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS INTENDED SO THEREFORE I AM COMPLAINING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN ENABLING THE REAR DEFROSTER (AND SIDE MIRROR DEFROST), I HEARD A LOUD POP, AND NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE PASSENGER WINDSHIELD WIPER. THE WINDSHIELD HAD CRACKED (PRESUMABLY FROM THE HEAT DIFFERENTIAL), AND THE WIPER STARTED TO MELT ON THE WINDSCREEN. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT DIRECTLY UNDER THE WINDSHIELD (AND UNDER THE PASSENGER WIPER) THAT IS RELATED TO THE DEFROSTER. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND COLD (MORNING STARTUP).

SERVICE BRAKES
RE 2008 TUNDRA, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND FEELS "SQUISHY" . WILDE TOYOTA IN WESTALLIS,WISCONSIN INSPECTED MY VEHICLE AND PURPORTEDLY INSTALLED ALL NEW BRAKE FLUID AND SAID THEY DID A SCANNING TOOL COMPUTERIZED BLEED OF THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE ABS PUMP SYSTEM BLEED. THEY CAHRGED ME APROX $113.00 FOR THAT SERVICE AND THE ISSUE IS UNRESOLVED...THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL EASILY GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. WILDE TOYOTA STATES THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION FOR THIS 2008 TUNDRA AS THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE OTHER 2008 TUNDRA'S THAT DO THE SAME. THEY STATE THEIR IS NO FIXING OF THE ISSUE AND THAT THEY ALLEGE MY BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS GUIDELINES SET BY THE NHTS.. I'VE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS WHOM HAS THE SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THEIR BRAKES. WHEN THE TRUCK IS NOT RUNNING, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD AND DOESN'T GO TO THE FLOOR AND THAT IT WHAT WILDE TOYOTA SAYS IS WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. BUT THAT INFORMATION OR SPECIFICATION ISN'T RELEVANT WHEN IT COME TO SAFETY, AS WHAT IS IMPORTANT, IS HOW THE BRAKES WORK AND OPERATE AND FEEL WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND CONSIDER MODIFYING YOUR SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIRMENTS ETC OF THIS ISSUE TO HAVE THE SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDE THE DISTANCE THE BRAKE PEDAL CAN TRAVEL WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR THIS SERVICE YOU OFFER. I HAVE A VIDEO OF ME USING MY WEAKER LEFT HAND TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE TRUCK IS RUNNING,, BUT IT APPEARS MPG4 VIDEOS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE UPLOADED WITH THIS COMPLAINT, THEREFORE I TOOK TWO SCREEN SHOTS OF THE VIDEO WHICH I AM SEND. ONE PICTURE SHOWS THE TOP OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RESTING AT APPROX 4" OFF THE FLOOR, AND THE SECOND PICTURE SHOWS THE TOP OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS 1/2" OFF THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED BY MY LEFT HAND AND THE ENGINE RUNNING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES TODAY THE VEHICLE WOULD STAY AT 1000 RPM WHILE DRIVING WITH NO ACCELERATION POSSIBLE, IT WAS AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS DISCONNECTED, TRIED TO CROSS BUSY INTERSECTION , BUT COULD ONLY COAST THREW. ALSO NO WARNING CODES AVAILABLE. LATER THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OR ACCELERATE IT WAS GOING 40 MPH AT 2000 RPM . THE TRUCK HAS 34500 MILES ON IT. TOYOTA SAYS NO ISSUES OF THIS KIND REPORTED AND I'M ONE MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, TRYING TO CROSS BUSY INTERSECTION , WHEN YOU CAN NOT ACCELERATE I'M GONNA GET KILLED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
VERY SERIOUS MALFUNCTION WITH AIR INJECTION PUMP. THIS HAPPENED TO OCCUR AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. MULTIPLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. $2000 PLUS IN REPAIRS FOR A VERY DANGEROUS AND APPARENTLY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH RECALLS ISSUED IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS OF TUNDRA AND OTHER MODELS OF TOYOTA TRUCKS.

'12 TOYOTA TUNDRA APPEARS TO GO INTO LIMP MODE, BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER SHIP, A RECALL WAS LISTED FOR SOMETHING, DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. HAD TO HAVE ABOUT $1,500OF WORK DONE. FIXED THE ISSUE....FOR 1.5 MONTHS. BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THROWING ALL THE SAME CODES FOR ALL THE SAME PARTS. CLEARLY THE PARTS BEING USED AREN'T A FIX TO THE PROBLEM, AND SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN JUST IS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. AT THIS POINT IT'S PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVES. TOYOTA DEALT WITH THIS WITH EARLIER MODELS BUT ANYTHING 2012 AND UP , NOTHING IS BEING DONE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THESE TRUCKS GO INTO LIMP MODE ON A HIGHWAY AND THEY GET HIT AT 70-80 MILES AN HOUR FROM SOMETHING OUT OF THE DRIVERS CONTROL, THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT. WHEN WILL A RECALL CONDO THIS, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
OUR TUNDRA HAD A FRAME RECALL AND IT WAS THE DEALERS DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT TO REPLACE DRAM OR JUST COVER UP WITH UNDERCOATING. WE DISAGREED WITH THE DECISION TO UNDERCOAT AS THE DEAL WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF EXTENSIVE RUST. NOW, OUR FRAME IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO THE POINT OF FALLING AWAY FROM THE BODY. JUST ABOUT ALL PARTS UNDER THE TRUCK HAVE NOW SUFFERED AS WELL. WE HAVE NEVER HAD THE TRUCK LAUNCH A BOAT, GONE OFF ROAD, OR ANY OTHER DANGEROUS ACTIVITIES. BASICALLY A TRAIN STATION AND DUMP RUN VEHICLE. I AM TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA AND THEIR POOR HANDLING OF THE SITUATION. BASICALLY THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUPER EXPENSIVE FRAME REPLACEMENT; TOO BAD. ENGINE, BODY, AND INTERIOR ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. I NEED HELP AS I 1) CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE AND 2) CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS TRUCK AND IT IS VITAL FOR US. JUST FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THE FRAME IS DISINTEGRATING QUICKLY WHEN WE BROUGHT CAR TO SHOP FOR A STEERING ISSUE WHICH WE NOW FIND OUT WAS CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE RUST. THANK YOU

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS AND PULLING ONTO HIGHWAY THERE WAS NO POWER LIKE TRUCK WAS IN LIMP MODE AND TRACTOR TRAILOR HAD TO SWERVE OFF OF ROAD TO PREVENT SEVERE ACCIDENT. THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION HAS A SEVERE MAL FUNCTION WHICH TOYOTA ONLY RECOGNIZED IN EARLIER MODELS AND THEY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 10 YEAR AND 150,000 MILES. THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM I WISH SOMEONE WOULD INVESTIGATE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE AND LIVES ARE LOST. THERE IS NOT MUCH RESPONSE TIME TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION DURING THIS MOMENT. THANK YOU

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE TRAC OFF LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANS ON AT THE SAME TIME. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YEARS OF 150,000 MILES. IF IT WAS THE SECONDARY VALVES AND AIR PUMPS. I GOT A CALL BACK AND THEY SAID IT WAS, BIG MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS IS AN ISSUES WITH 100S OF TUNDRAS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GO OVER 60 OR GET TO 60 SAFELY. THE TOYOTA BLOGS ARE FULL OF TUNDRA OWNERS COMPLAINING. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
