STRUCTURE:BODY
MY 2006 TUNDRA IS LIKE NEW IN ALL RESPECTS BUT ONE; ALL TOYOTA RECOMMENDED ROUTINE AND PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY COPELAND TOYOTA FOR 13 YEARS; FRAME HAS FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. UPON FRAME RECALL FOR CORROSION IN 2014, COPELAND INDICATED FRAME WAS "NOT THAT BAD" AND SAID THEY WOULD JUST APPLY CORROSION PROTECTION COATING INSTEAD OF REPLACING FRAME. I TRUSTED AND ACCEPTED THEIR ADVICE. SINCE THEN, TOYOTA FORUMS INDICATE SPRAY ON COATING EXACERBATES CORROSION PROBLEM. COPELAND REPLACED POWER STEERING UNIT LAST YEAR; WHEN I LOOKED UNDER TRUCK TO SEE NEW UNIT, WAS SHOCKED AT CONDITION OF FRAME. NEXT ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT I ASKED COPELAND FOR THEIR OPINION ON FRAME CORROSION AND THEY TOLD ME FRAME HAS FAILED. POOR CONDITION OF FRAME WAS OBVIOUS; STABILIZER BAR HAD PULLED OUT OF FRAME. HOW MUCH MORE WORK WOULD THEY HAVE PERFORMED AND CHARGED ME FOR IF I HAD NOT BROUGHT SUBJECT UP?? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! COPELAND SENT ME TO TOYOTA .COM FOR HELP; TOYOTA.COM OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE AND POINTED FINGER AT COPELAND FOR THEIR DECISION NOT TO REPLACE.

THE RUST CORROSION IS SO BAD THAT THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF HITTING THE LEAF SPRING SUPPORT BRACKET AND COMPLETELY CAUSED THE BUMPER TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK. THE SPARE TIRE ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE CORROSION IS EVIDENT ALL OVER THE CHASSIS AND OTHER PARTS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND PULLING A LANDSCAPE TRAILER ON ROUTE 173 IN NEW JERSEY. *TR

PCS SYSTEM ON 2019 TOYOTA DISPLAYS THAT THE SYSTEM IS "ON" BUT THE ICON ON THE DASH SHOWS "OFF". I HAVE PICS TO PROVIDE PROOF. BEEN HAPPENING BEFORE THE FIRST SRVC ON THE TRUCK. WHEN IN DURING SRVC TO EXPLAIN, DEALERSHIP DIDN'T FIND PROBLEM. LEFT AND IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. SINCE THE 5K SRVC THIS HAPPENS PRETTY MUCH DAILY, I'M NOT SURE IF THE PCS IS GOING TO WORK OR NOT AS I HAVE BECOME LEARY OF THIS FEATURE BEING A SAFETY FEATURE AND MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE WITH TOYOTA NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP IN CORRECTING IT. MULTIPLE FORUMS ON THIS SUBJECT HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED AND OTHER CASES HAVE BEEN STARTED AT NHTSA FOR THIS SAME CONTINUED PROBLEM. A SAFETY FEATURE THAT DOESN'T WORK ISN'T A SAFETY FEATURE; IT'S A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA 4 YEARS AGO THAT MY TUNDRA HAD A POTENTIAL FRAME ISSUE REGARDING RUST. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING IT TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHICH I DID. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE INSPECTED- IF FRAME WAS INTACT BUT JUST RUSTED THEY WOULD TREAT IT WITH A COATING , IF IT THERE WERE HOLES IN THE FRAME IT WOULD BE REPLACED. MY TRUCK WAS AT THE DEALER ( BOCH TOYOTA NORWOOD MA) FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I WAS TOLD FRAME INTACT, IT WAS TREATED WITH RUST PROOFING AND COATING. LAST WEEK THE BRAKES FAILED- IT TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKE LINE WAS ROTTED THROUGH CAUSING LEAKING OF BRAKE FLUID. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. WHEN HE REPLACED BRAKE LINE HE TOLD ME FRAME WAS ROTTED WITH LARGE HOLES IN SEVERAL AREAS. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER- TOLD NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME.

BOUGHT THE TUNDRA IN LATE 2014 FROM TOYOTA OF KEENE IN NH. WAS TOLD FRAME WAS CHECK AND THE RUST PREVENTION SPRAY WAS APPLIED, VEHICLE FRAMED LOOKED CLEAN AND HAD NO VISIBLE RUST , THEY COULDN'T PROVIDE ME WITH ANY RECORD OF THIS . IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GRAPPONE AND HAD NOTICED SOME RUST ON THE FRAME AROUND THE GAS TANK AND UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE. GRAPONNE TOLD ME THAT THE FRAME SERVICE WAS COMPLETED AND THEY COULDN'T ( OR WOULDN'T) BE ABLE TO HELP AND NOTED THE SPRAY WAS INTACT. AFTER THAT THE POWER STEERING ROTTED AWAY WHICH GRAPPONE TOYOTA REPLACED AND AT THAT TIME I BROUGHT THE RUST TO THERE ATTENTION AGAIN . THEY SAID IT LOOKED NORMAL AND NOT TO WORRY. AFTER THAT I KEPT MY EYE ON IT. BROUGHT IT TO GET MY ANNUAL INSPECTION. THE TECH BROUGHT ME OUT SHOWED ME THE RUST AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD 1 OR 2 YEARS LEFT BEFORE THE FRAME WOULD NEED TO REPLACED OR REPAIRED DUE TO RUST . THE TUNDRA HAS 155.XXX MILES ON IT GETS WASHED REGULARLY . CONTACTED TOYOTA USA THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE SOMEONE CONTACT ME. TOYOTA OF KEEN CALLED ME AND TOLD BE THE TRUCK WAS OLD AND THE PERSON WHOM I SPOKE WITH TOLD ME IT WAST HIS FAULT BECAUSE HE WASN'T THERE AND THE PROBLEM AREAS I DESCRIBED TOYOTA DIDN'T PAY THE TO SPRAY PROPERLY, ( PARTS PEOPLE CANT SEE UNLESS THEY REALLY LOOK) BUT I COULD DRIVE IT IN AND THEY COULD LOOK AT IT . I CALLED TOYOTA USA AFTER RECEIVING AN EMAIL THE NEXT DAY THAT STATED I HAD THERE POSITION REGARDING MY INCIDENT AND THE REP SAID IT WASN'T TOYOTA'S PROBLEM BECAUSE THE EXTENDED SERVICE PROGRAM WAS NOT A RECALL AND EXPIRED IN 2015 I FEEL THAT IF TOYOTA KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE FRAMES THEY MIGHT INCLUDED THEM WITH ALL THE OTHER MODELS A BUT THEY DECEITFULLY COVERED UP THE PROBLEM WITH A SPRAY THAT HIDES THE PROBLEM LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM "OLD " AS THEY PUT IT . MANY OTHERS WOULD AGREE

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP FAILED ON MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I WOULD BE $3500 TO REPAIR. THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE TUNDRA. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT TOYOTA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS BUT IT EXPIRED AFTER 10 YEARS OR 150,000, I HAVE 121,000. WHEN THE PUMP FAILS IT CAUSES THE VEHICAL TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. I RAN A ERRAND TODAY AND THE TRUCK RAN FINE. I WENT TO THE STORE AND RETURNED TO THE TRUCK. I STARTED IT AND THE THE VSC LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I HEADED INTO TRAFFIC THE VEHICAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO KEEP UP WITH THE TRAFFIC AND ALMOST GOT REARENDED. TOYOTA SHOULD OF HAD A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY FEATURE AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS AIR PUMP IS INSTALLED ON TUNDRAS AND OTHER MODELS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW IN 2008 AND HAVE SERVICED IT ON THE MFG SCHEDULE. SINCE THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE PUMPS DURING REGULAR MAINTENANCE INSTEAD OF NOT DOING NOTHING AND HOPE IT DOES NOT OCCUR. EVEN IF I REPLACE THE PUMPS WHAT SAYS IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I LOST CONFIDENCE IN MY TRUCK AND AM AFRAID IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN.
