I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON THE FRAME IT WAS RUSTED. THEY SAID IT DIDN'T NEED TO BE REPLACED. SO THEY UNDERCOATED IT AND ALL THE UNDERCOAT FELL OFF. THEY DIDN'T UNDERCOAT THE WHOLE THING AND NOW IT'S RUSTING EVEN MORE. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THE FRAME ON MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY. WE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF A REPAIR CAMPAIGN. BOTH TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE REJECTED MY REQUEST TO HAVE THE FRAME REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 56,000.

WHEN IN MOTION THE VEHICLE ENTERS LIMP MODE AND LOSES POWER. ACCELERATION BY PEDAL DOES NOT FUNCTION, THE ENGINE ONLY REVS AND DOES NOT SPEED UP. THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN TO ANYWHERE FROM 25 TO 5 MILES PER HOUR ON ITS OWN WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE BRAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE, HIGHWAY, STREET, DRIVING STRAIGHT, TURNING, ETC. NO WARNING. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM EQUATES TO SOMEONE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS!! I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE TODAY! TOYOTA IS AWARE AND HAS BEEN AWARE SINCE 2007 OF THE PROBLEM AND IS PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVES!! *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, AND DASHLIGHTS ALL GO OFF WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED HALF A DOZEN TIMES AT NIGHT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS IN THE 30'S, BOTH WHEN TURNING ON NARROW UNLIT RURAL ROADS, AND ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WHEN CHANGING LANES. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 1794 EDITION OF THE TUNDRA WITH THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS. YOU CAN FIND DOZENS OF OTHER TUNDRA OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING A VIDEO ON THE TUNDRA.COM WEBSITE. SEE LINK BELOW: HTTPS://WWW.TUNDRAS.COM/THREADS/AUTO-HEADLIGHTS-SHUT-OFF-WITH-TURN-SIGNAL.22968/ THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPEND TO ME, AND IT IS SCARY DANGEROUS. I REPORTED THIS TO NHTSA BACK IN DECEMBER, AND TOYOTA HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE NOT EVEN ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN. PLEASE GET THEM TO FIX THIS! EVEN MY TOYOTA SERVICE AGREEMENT WON'T FIX MY TUNDRA, BECAUSE THE DEALER CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM (IT'S NOT COLD, AND THEY CLOSE AT 6 WHEN IT'S NOT DARK!), AND THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGING THIS IS EVEN A PROBLEM. I'M BEGGING YOU, AT LEAST GET TOYOTA TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBEM AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT!!

POWER TRAIN
AT ABOUT 2,000 MILES AGO THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHAKING AND RUMBLING MAINLY WHEN IT WAS IN 5TH GEAR. THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD AND WILL NEED REPLACED FOR $3,000. THE TRUCK ONLY HAVE 90K ON IT, AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. AT JUST OVER 90K ON THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT ALREADY BE GOING OUT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE PROBLEM WITH MY TOYOTA 2004 TUNDRA, THAT THE DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER REPAIR GARAGE CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. WHEN I DRIVE THE TRUCK, DOESN'T MATTER HOW LONG , EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I STOP AND TURN IT OFF ALL THE ELECTRONICS GOES DEAD. I CAN'T START THE TRUCK BECAUSE THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND THEN SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 15 MINUTE TO OVERNIGHT, EVER THING COMES BACK ON. NO JUMPING OF THE BATTERY. HAD BATTERY CHECKED, ALTERNATOR CHECK AND OTHER THINGS WIRING AND EVERY THING IS WORKING FIND. THE DEALERSHIP AND OTHER MECHANIC FROM ANOTHER SHOP SAID THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM UNLESS IT IS ACTING UP AT THE TIME THEY CHECK IT. HAD TO CALL AND GET A TOW AND BY THE TIME THE TOW TRUCK GOT THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP, IT STARTED UP. KIND OF SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. RECEIVE TWO ERRORS THAT STATE "TRAILER WIRING TYPE OR CONNECTION FAULT" AND "PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION". AFTER THE ERROR IS RECEIVED, THE TRAILER BRAKES NO LONGER FUNCTION. IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN THE ERRORS GO AWAY AND THE BRAKES WILL FUNCTION AGAIN. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN USING THE MANUAL SWITCH ON THE CONTROLLER. BOTH TRUCK AND TRAILER ARE NEW (LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD). *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2013 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK ( 74,734 MILES) SUDDENLY HAD ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE AT 48 MPH. I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. AFTER EVENTUALLY PULLING THE WHEEL WITH MUCH EFFORT AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY AND THE ENGINE STARTED RIGHT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN BUT ONLY AT A REDUCED SPEED OF 40 MPH OR LESS ( IT'S CALLED "LIMP" MODE) MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS A SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATING THIS ON SEVERAL TUNDRA OWNER MESSAGE BOARDS, I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE TUNDRA TRUCKS AT AROUND 75000 MILES. THE TOYOTA DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM AND LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER TO SEE IF IT QUALIFIED FOR A WARRANTY EXTENSION PROGRAM THAT TOYOTA HAS OFFERED FOR SOME 2012 AND 2013 TUNDRA TRUCKS. UNFORTUNATELY MY VIN NUMBER WAS A FEW NUMBERS BEYOND THE EXTENSION PROGRAM. HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I AM NOT SO SURE SHE WOULD HAVE HAD THE STRENGTH TO SAFELY BRING THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL AND GET IT OFF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. I WANT TOYOTA TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS FAULTY PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY ADMITTED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AND SHOULD EXTEND IT TO ALL TOYOTA TRUCK OWNERS WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. NOT JUST A SELECT FEW. *TR

APPARENLY THE STARTER KEEPS CONNECTED TO THE MOTOR AND THE MOTOR DOES NOT TURN ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCASSIONS AND THE TUNDRA IS NOW AT THE TOYOTA DEALER WAITING FOR A SOLUCTION FROM TOYOTA. THE DASH INDICATES NOT READY TO DRIVE AND IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.
