MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA THE FRAME HAS ROTTED THROUGH BEHIND THE FRONT TIRE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS A NEW YORK STATE INSPECTION. TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY UNTIL 2015 IN 2014. THEY KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES BUT CURRENTLY THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION. THERE APPEARS TO BE A LOT OF TOYOTA VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2017 TUNDRA AND WHEN I USE MY TURN SIGNAL IT MAKES MY HEADLIGHTS AND MY DASH LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A STREAM THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THESE TUNDRA'S ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. MY LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE INCLUDE A LINK TO A BLOG OF A TON OF OTHER OWNERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOK INTO BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. HTTPS://WWW.TUNDRAS.COM/THREADS/AUTO-HEADLIGHTS-SHUT-OFF-WITH-TURN-SIGNAL.22968/

FRAME IS SO RUSTED OUT THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS NOTHING TO SUPPORT IT. THE TRUCK CAN NO LONGER BE SAFELY DRIVEN. TOYOTA HAD ME TAKE THE TRUCK IN AND HAVE THE FRAME CHECKED FOR RUST IN 2015. AT THAT TIME THEY TOLD THE FRAME WAS GOOD. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER ON 2/17 THIS YEAR AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT CORPORATE. I CONTACTED THEM SAME DAY AND WAS TOLD SINCE THEY CHECKED IT ONCE THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO FOR ME. HARD TO BELIEVE THE FRAME COULD SO COMPLETELY DETERIORATE IN THAT FIVE YEAR PERIOD. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO HELP ALL THESE PEOPLE OUT.

I RECENTLY HAD AN EXHAUST LEAK ON MY TRUCK AND WOULD OCCASIONALLY HEAR SOME CLUNKING NOISES UNDER THE VEHICLE. I WENT UNDER THE TRUCK TO INVESTIGATE THE EXTENT OF THE EXHAUST LEAK AND NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE SWAY BAR LINKS WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED AND THAT ONE END WAS RUSTED OFF. I ORDERED REPLACEMENT PARTS AND TRIED TO JACK THE VEHICLE UP UNDER THE FRAME AND I HEARD CRUNCHING AND SAW THE JACK PRESSING INTO THE FRAME FROM THE BOTTOM AND CRUMBLES OF RUST CAME SHOWERING DOWN. I RELOCATED THE JACK TO A DIFFERENT PORTION OF THE FRAME AND CONTINUED TO JACK IT UP AND MORE CREAKING OF THE FRAME AND RUSTY PARTS BROKE FREE AND FELL TO MY DRIVEWAY. THE FRAME BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL IS BADLY RUSTED AND HAS LOST ITS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. THERE ARE SEVERAL 5"+ HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL "CUTS" INTO THE FRAME BOTH ON THE SIDE AND BOTTOM SURROUNDING THE NEARBY FRONT CROSS-MEMBER. THIS EXCESSIVE RUST CORROSION COMPROMISES THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY, STABILITY, AND CRASH-WORTHINESS. WE CAN NO LONGER USE THIS TRUCK FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE OF HAULING A HEAVY PAYLOAD OR TOWING A TRAILER WHICH WERE ENGINEERED BY TOYOTA. THIS HAS ALSO GREATLY AFFECTED THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN WESTMINSTER, MD AND THEY PERFORMED THE ANTI-RUST SPRAY TREATMENT TO THE FRAME IN 2010 UNDER THE LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN WHICH OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WORK. THE EXTERIOR PAINTED SURFACES OF THE BODY ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS I APPLIED A COATING OF WAX AT LEAST ANNUALLY. THE TRUCK HAS JUST NOW REACHED 90,000 MILES AND I DON'T FEEL THAT I GOT THE VALUE OUT OF THE TRUCK FOR WHAT I PAID BRAND NEW FOR IT BACK IN 2003 WHEN I TRUSTED THE TOYOTA NAME. I RECENTLY CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALER IN WESTMINSTER, MD AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL FOR THE FRAME EXPIRED IN 2012 AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPER MECHANICAL COMPONENTS UNDER THE HOOD BROKE LOOSE FROM WIPER TRANSMISSION ON DRIVERS SIDE DURING HEAVY RAIN/SLEET/SNOW WITHOUT WARNING. PASSENGER SIDE STILL WORKED. RESEARCH INDICATES YEARS 2015-2018 NON LUBRICATED, NON REPAIRABLE PLASTIC COMPONENTS USED IN MECHANICAL ARMS WEAR QUICKLY. RUST BECAUSE COMPONENTS NOT PROTECTED FROM WEATHER AS PRECIOUSLY BUILT. WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON TWO LANE ROAD IF NOT FOR PASSENGER TO GUIDE TO SAFE STOP. THIS OCCURRED ON TWO LANE HIGHWAY DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE COMPLETE WIPER COMPONENTS NEED TO BE SAFETY RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH REDESIGNED COMPONENTS ON ALL TOYOTA MODELS AFFECTED. WIPER LINKAGE - TOYOTA (85150-0C070). NOTE: D NOT HAVE EXACT DATE THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE LEFT SITTING UNTIL WEATHER CLEARED.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A DARK ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER WHEN THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A BANKER LEFT TURN. HAD DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES FROM HOME WHEN PROBLEM SUDDENLY OCCURRED. OVERWHELMING SMELL OF BURNING BRAKES OUTSIDE WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WAS HOT. TRUCK TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY FOR DIAGNOSIS/REPAIR. DEALER DETERMINED PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT PERFORMED AT 5,000 MILE SERVICE WAS IMPROPERLY DONE. THEY ADJUSTED PARKING BRAKE AND RELEASED VEHICLE. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES DOWN FREEWAY AND SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER EXITING FREEWAY (AFTER A BANKED RIGHT TURN), BUT I COULD HEAR BRAKES SCREECHING THIS TIME. SMELLED BURNING BRAKES AND REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WAS HOT. RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER SERVICE AND TRUCK DRIVE NORMALLY EXCEPT FOR PERSISTENT BRAKE SQUEAK. DEALER REPLACED BRAKES AND RESURFACED ROTORS LAST WEEK. ISSUE HAS NOT OCCURRED AGAIN AS OF THIS DATE.

POWER TRAIN
THE REAR AXEL AND DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING/CASTING IS CORRODED THRU SUCH THAT OIL IS LEAKING THROUGH THE DIFFERENTIAL HUB ONTO THE ROADWAY AND RESULTING IN A LOSS OF GEAR OIL WITHIN THE DIFFERENTIAL AND AXELS. AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THIS OIL WAS OBSERVED ON THE SPARE TIRE (MOUNTED UNDER THE BED) AND UP THE BACK OF THE BUMPER. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT ONE DEALERSHIP I APPROACHED TO DISCUSS THE COST OF REPAIR INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS OBVIOUSLY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE RESULT OF A DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED/MANUFACTURED COMPONENT. I HAVE NOT YET HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED DUE TO THE HIGH COST, BUT IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE AS THE DIFFERENTIAL WILL NOT HOLD GEAR OIL.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
STRUCTURAL FRAME RUSTED THROUGH. TOYOTA DEALER SPRAYED FRAME IN 2014 AND SAID THE FRAME WOULD BE FINE AS OF FOUR YEARS AGO THE FRAME HAS ROTTED THROUGH UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE. SOME STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS ALSO ROTTED ON THE FRAME. CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WITH THE DEALER IT'S FRUSTRATING AND NON-PRODUCTIVE .WHEN THE DEALER SPRAYED THE FRAME THEY FAILED TO PLUG ALL THE HOLES IN THE FRAME. AT THIS POINT THERE IS NO ADDITIVE OR SEALER THAT THE DEALER SPRAYED ON THE FRAME IT HAS ALL WASHED AWAY. I CAN ACTUALLY PLACE FOUR FINGERS THRU THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2017 WHEN I FIRST NOTICE THE ROT.*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED FRAME AND TRAILER HITCH WAS RUSTED.*JB
