SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER INTERMITENT FAILURE. TRAILER BRAKES WORK FOR A FEW BRAKING CYCLES THEN FAIL COMPLETELY WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE TRUCK OF "TRAILER WIRING TYPE, OR CONNECTION FAULT". TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON RESETS THE CONTROLLER AND "FIXES" THE PROBLEM UNTIL ANOTHER FEW BRAKING CYCLES, THEN REPEATS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I NOTICED THE LOW TIRE LIGHT WAS BLINKING, AND CHECKED ALL THE TIRES FOR PRESSURE, AND THEY WERE FINE, THEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW THAT THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE ROUND BAR THAT IS PART OF THE STEERING MECHANISM, HAD ACTUALLY PULLED COMPLETELY OUT OF THE FRAME DUE TO RUST, THIS TRUCK FRAME WAS SUPPOSEDLY TREATED IN 2014, AND OBVIOUSLY DID LITTLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM, OF FRAME ROT. TOYOTA IS REPLACING FRAMES ON THE MAJORITY OF TUNDRA'S AND TACOMA'S, BUT NOT MY SPECIFIC YEAR. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS 2006 TUNDRA'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

SEAT BELTS
THIS ISSUE AFFECTS THE SEATBELT SAFETY. WHEN I TRY TO LATCH THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT THE RELEASE BUTTON IS DEPRESSED AND THE SEATBELT WILL NOT ENGAGE UNTIL I PUSH THE BUTTON DOWN NUMEROUS TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS TIME-CONSUMING AND VERY LIKELY IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE RELEASE BUTTON DOES NOT RETURN TO ITS NORMAL POSITION. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP AND SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SWITCHING VALUE CAUSING CHECK ENGINE AND TRAC CONTROL LIGHTS TO COME ON. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE SAME PIECE AND DESIGN WAS RECALLED ON THE 2011 BUT NOT THE 2012 TUNDRA. IT COMES ON AND OFF BUT WHEN IT IS ON IT FEELS LIKE THAT THERE IS A LIMP MODE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET UP TO SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STEERING FEELS DIFFERENT WHICH I THINK IS THE TRACTION CONTROL.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, WHEELS
FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT RECALL OR LACK THEREOF. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR TOYOTA TUNDRAS YEAR 2002-2004 BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE 2000-2001 THAT HAVE LOWER BALL JOINTS OF THE SAME DESIGN. MINE FAILED AND SO HAVE SEVERAL OTHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER FAILED LOWER BALL JOINT. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF THE RESULT OF WHAT A FAILED BALL JOINT LOOKS LIKE AND WHEN YOU COMBINE THAT IMAGE WITH THE HYPOTHETICAL OF TRAVELING 65-70 MPH THE DAMAGE CAN THEN ESCALATE TO CATASTROPHIC OR EVEN DEATH. NOT ONLY FOR PASSENGERS BUT FOR OTHERS TRAVELING THE SAME ROAD. WHEN THE BALL JOINT FAILED I WAS LUCKILY TRAVELING 25-30 MPH TO GET ON TO THE FREEWAY, BUT IT FAILED BEFORE I WAS AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED. I SPOKE TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HERE AND THEY CLAIM THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT INCLUDE 2000-2001 YEAR TUNDRA'S, WHICH IS CONCLUSIVE OF THE RESEARCH I DID PREVIOUSLY. I ALSO CHECKED ON THE DESIGN OF THE BALL JOINTS AND THE DESIGN IS IDENTICAL BETWEEN 2000-2002. YET THE DEALER REFUSES TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR TO THE DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN CAUSED BY THE FAULTY LOWER BALL JOINT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EXTREME RUST DAMAGE TO THE FRAME. TOYOTA WILL NOT DISCUSS THE CONCERN, AND I AM GROWING CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND RISK TO ME AND MY PASSENGERS. EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE VEHICLE OPERATES A EXPECTED FOR A 15 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. I WANT TO KEEP THIS TRUCK AND WORK WITH TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE FRAME, BUT I WOULD ALSO CONSIDER A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE WITH FAIR VALUE TRADE IN. HOWEVER, TOYOTA WILL NOT ENTERTAIN A CONVERSATION REGARDING MY CONCERNS. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYING THAT THE REAR OF THE FRAME CRACKED AS THEY LIFTED IT FOR SERVICE. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TO TOYOTA SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2012.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK USED IN 2015 AND WAS UNAWARE OF ANY RECALLS DUE TO FRAME RUST. I HAVE REPLACED TAILPIPE, MUFFLER, MANY BRAKE COMPONENTS DUE TO RUST PROBLEMS. THE FRAME NOW RUSTED MORE AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. A MECHANIC TOLD ME ABOUT THIS FRAME RUST RECALL AND I TOOK IT TO FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA IN RALEIGH,NC. THE FOUND THAT ALL RECALL ITEMS HAD BEEN COMPLETED BY THE DEALER IN BOONE,NC. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE SINCE THE RUSTING ISSUE IS MUCH MORE SEVERE. I JUST WANT A FAIR EVALUATION OF WHAT CAN OR SHOULD BE DONE. FRED ANDERSON TOYOTA IN RALEIGH DID HAVE THE TRUCK BUT NOT SURE HOW FAR THEY TOOK THE INVESTIGATION OF RUST.

TAKARA INFLATORS AND DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY STREET AND HAD A DRIVER FLASHING HIS LIGHTS AT ME. I PULLED OVER TO FIND OUT THAT MY SPARE TIRE UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK HAD FALLEN OFF AND BOUNCED INTO A BUILDING. I GO BACK TO GET IT AND NOTICE THAT IT HAD RUSTED AND FELL OFF. I'VE BEEN HAVING BALL JOINT ISSUES AND NOW MY RACK AND PINION HAS STARTED TO LEAK BECAUSE OF RUST. I'VE LEARNED ABOUT A RECALL ON MY FRAME HAS BEEN ISSUED. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID MY TRUCK HAD BEEN LOOKED AT AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. I'VE GOT THE SPARE TIRE AND THE RUSTED BRACKET.

THE CHASSIS OF THE TRUCK IS VERY DAMAGED BY RUST, IN SOME PARTS IT EVEN HAS HOLES, SO I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS VERY SAFE TO HANDLE IT. I BOUGHT IT AT A CAR DEALER A FEW WEEKS AGO, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A BIT OF RUST ... BUT WHEN I CHECKED IT OUT BETTER I NOW FIND THAT THE RUST REALLY HARMS THE STRUCTURE, ANOTHER PROBLEM ... IT GIVES OFF A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. ..
