STRUCTURE:BODY
MY COMPLAINT IS WITH TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY AND THEIR ADMISSION BUT YET NO RESOLUTION TO A KNOWN PROBLEM. MY STORY OF THIS TOYOTA TRUCK BEGINS WITH MY SON OWNING THIS TUNDRA FOR ABOUT 5-7 YEARS THEN SELLING ME, HIS FATHER THE SAME TUNDRA. BEFORE BUYING SAID TRUCK I WAS ASSURED IT WAS OF GOD STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, DUE TO AN INSPECTION AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. UPON INSPECTION THEY DID FIND THAT THE FRAME HAD VISIBLE RUST AND PROCEEDED TO TREAT IT WITH ANTI-CORROSION. FORWARD TO THREE WEEKS AGO A LOCAL INSPECTION WAS TO BE DONE IN WHICH I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT PASS DUE TO FRAME PROBLEMS AS IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOYOTA ENGINEERS KNOW THAT THE FRAMES ARE GOING TO RUST BECAUSE NO EXTERIOR APPLICATION OF ANY ANTI-CORROSION IS GOING TO PREVENT ANY CORROSION WITHIN A TUBULAR BOXED FRAME. I WAS REFUSED ANY SOLUTION FROM TOYOTA, WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY ADMITTED THAT THESE PARTICULAR TRUCKS ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN YOU HELP WITH GETTING TOYOTA TO RESOLVE THIS COMPLETELY INSTEAD OF PASSING THE LITTLE GUY ASIDE?

I HAD A SUDDEN JUMP IN MY RPMS AND ACCELERATOR MALFUNCTION I HAD TO CAREFULLY GUIDE THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER IT DIED I COULD NOT START IT. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING, THE 4LO FLASHING AND TRACTION'S ALL FLASHING. I STILL HAD ELECTRICAL BUT NO POWER. I WAS BEING FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO ALMOST HIT ME AND MY DAUGHTER. THESE TRUCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE KNOW FOR THEIR LIFE SPAN AND SAFETY. THIS IS NOT WHAT I CALL SAFE BY ANY MEANS.

AIR BAGS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V065000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTIFICATION. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. SUDDENLY, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITH FORCE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. AN INCIDENT REPORT WAS FILED, BUT NOT A POLICE REPORT. THE DEALER (PRIORITY TOYOTA HAMPTON, 2301 W MERCURY BLVD, HAMPTON, VA 23666, (757) 838-5000) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE PER THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTION TO INVESTIGATE THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE MANUFACTURER INVESTIGATED THE EDR BOX, BUT FOUND NO FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A LETTER INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE OWNER WAS AT FAULT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE INVESTIGATION FAILED TO PROVIDE A CONCLUSION THAT THE RECALL REMEDY WOULD HAVE PROVIDED A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT*JB - (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

THE VIN ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE BRINGS UP A DIFFERENT MODEL IN NHTSA DATABASE. I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREW CAB (4 DOOR). THE INFORMATION IN THE DATABASE IS FOR AN ACCESS CAB. THE WEIGHT LIMITS, SPECIFICATIONS, PARTS, AND RECALLS ARE DIFFERENT FOR THESE TWO MODELS. HOW DO I GO ABOUT CORRECTING THIS? THANK YOU

TODAY 01/31/2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA 1794 CREW MAX TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY IN OAKLAND, CA AROUND 1:30 PM. I HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH THE REAR (FACING) WINDOW DOWN APPROXIMATELY 8 " I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CLOSING THE REAR ELECTRIC WINDOW AND JUST AS IT CLOSED I DROVE OVER A STEEL TRENCH PLATE THAT HAD BEEN PLACED ON THE FREEWAY BY CAL TRANS ALL 3 THINGS HAPPENED AT ONCE, THE WINDOW CLOSED, I DROVE OVER THE PLATE AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD WITH A SHOTGUN LIKE BANG, I HAD THE SUN SHADE CLOSED SO NO GLASS FELL ON ME. I BELIEVE THAT THE CHANGE IN CABIN AIR PRESSURE COUPLED WITH THE IMPACT OF THE TRENCH PLATE WAS ALL IT TOOK TO CAUSE THIS FLAWED SUNROOF TO EXPLODE UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. THE WEATHER WAS SLIGHTLY OVERCAST AND APPROXIMATELY 64 DEGREES AT THE TIME. I HAVE PHOTOS BUT CAN NOT UPLOAD THEM AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
TUNDRA HAD ELECTRICAL FAULT IN TRANSMISSION DUE TO WIRING HARNESS CORROSION. TUNDRA WILL DROP OUR OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING AND REENGAGE VIOLENTLY. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE AND I AM UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO NATIONAL BACKLOG ON NECESSARY PARTS. MY TUNDRA WAS PART OF THE RUST RECALL A COUPLE YEARS AGO WHICH WAS NEVER PROPERLY RECTIFIED AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR MOSTLY AT SPEEDS UP TO 45 MPH.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
ON 01-08-2018 I HAD A MVA IN WHICH THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY AIR BAG WAS DEPLOYED. AS YOU MAY JUDGE FROM THE PICTURE THE IMPACT WAS MINIMAL. THE OTHER VEHICLE, A 2003 HONDA CIVIC, WAS DRIVABLE, WHILE MY MUCH BIGGER TRUCK WAS NOT DUE TO MY CONDITION AND THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG. I WAS KNOCK OUT APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 7 MINUTES, I MADE THIS ESTIMATE BY THE ARRIVAL OF WINTER PARK PD. I ALSO SUFFERED TWO FRACTURED RIBS ON MY RIGHT ARM PIT AREA AND ONE ON MY LEFT ARM PIT AREA, THIS WAS ACCORDING TO THE ER DOCTOR AND A FRACTURE OF MY L5 VERTEBRAE ACCORDING TO MY MRI REPORT. FOUR HERNIATED DISC AND SIX BULGING. IT IS MY SINCERE BELIEVE THAT SOME IF NOT ALL THIS PERSONAL INJURIES I SUFFERED WERE RELATED TO AN OVER PRESSURED AIR BAG SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY TRUCK, I FEEL A NEED TO REGISTER MY COMPLAINT. AS NOTED ON MY PD REPORT I HAD JUST INITIATED A U-TURN SO I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN TRAVELING MORE THAN 15 MPH ON LEE RD. (A PAVED CITY STREET). SEE ALSO ODI 11287678. *DSY

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2012 TUNDRA WITH 135K AND 4.6 LITER. I ALSO SEE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE WITH MY SAME PROBLEM. MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT AFTER SUDDEN JUMP IN MY RPMS FROM 2 TO 4 AND ACCELERATOR MALFUNCTIONING, I CAREFULLY AND VERY SLOWLY DROVE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING DUE. I HAD SLOW/NO ACCELERATION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND TRACTION OFF. IN LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON FOR IT TO GO AGAIN ONCE BEFORE. I AGREE THAT THE FIX NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL YEAR MODELS AND ENGINE SIZE TUNDRAS, NOT JUST UP TO 2011. ALSO AGREE THAT THESE DEFECTS COULD RESULT IN A FATAL SITUATION IF NOT CORRECTED ACROSS THE BOARD.

SERVICE BRAKES
INSTALLED FACTORY INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER IN 2016. CONTROLLER DOES NOT SUPPLY ENOUGH POWER TO THE TRAILER BRAKES EARLY ENOUGH TO STOP APPROPRIATELY (TRAILER PUSHES THE VEHICLE). EVEN AT MAXIMUM POWER, THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THE TRAILER BRAKES IS WITH THE MANUAL HAND LEVER. THIS IS NOTICEABLE AT ALL TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP WHILE TOWING THE TRAILER.

I HAD LIFTED THE BED LINER ON MY TUNDRA AND FOUND THE BED TO BODY MOUNT AREA RUSTED THROUGH WITH HOLES IN IT. THERE IS A TECH BULLETIN FOR THE EXACT ITEM BUT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. IT HAS A HOLE IN THE BED NOW. IF I HAD LIFTED IT YEARS BEFORE I FEEL THE RUST WOULD HAVE BEEN SEEN AND IT TAKEN CARE OF. TOYOTA WILL DO NOTHING FOR IT NOW. I HAVE NEVER HAD A TRUCK RUST THRU SO FAST.
