AIR BAGS
MY TOYOTA TUNDRA IS PART OF THE AIR BAG RECALL. MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE THE PART AND MAY NOT HAVE IT FOR 10 DAYS. IN THE INTERN, THEY HAVE REMOVED MY PASSENGER AIRBAG AND NOW NO ONE CAN RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN COMPLETED. I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 SO NOW I CAN ONLY RIDE 3 PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE. IT HAS BECOME A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I REQUESTED A RENTAL FROM MY DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DECLINED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY YESTERDAY(1-888-270-9371) AND WAS TOLD TO EXPECT A CALL BACK WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE 24 HOURS HAVE PASSED AND NO CONTACT BACK FROM TOYOTA. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
I HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED A FRAME RECALL NOTICE DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION WHICH I ADDRESSED AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RUST HAD NOT PERFORATED THE FRAME AND THAT IT WOULD BE TREATED TO PREVENT FURTHER RUSTING. WHEN I PICKED UP THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP THE ASSOCIATE ADVISED ME THAT THE RECALL WAS DONE AND THAT A FULL SAFETY INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED WHICH REVEALED NO OTHER PROBLEMS. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO INSPECT THE FRAME AND NOTICED THAT BOTH SWAY BAR LINKS HAD CORRODED AND BROKEN OFF . I ALSO SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN ALIGNMENT SHOP BECAUSE I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT STRAIGHT AND WAS TOLD BY THE SHOP THAT THE TRUCK COULD NOT BE ALIGNED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND TO BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY WHICH I DID. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING SHAFT COUPLING WAS SO CORRODED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE IT AND DO A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BECOME A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE TUNDRA WHICH SEEMS SUSCEPTIBLE TO EXCESSIVE RUSTING AND AM REQUESTING THAT THIS ISSUE IS INVESTIGATED AN A RECALL ISSUED IF NECESSARY. *TR

MASSIVE GENERALIZED RUST UNDER VEHICLE. THIS IS AFFECTING THE FRAME, SUSPENSION, ALL LINES, EXHAUST, ALL METAL FITTINGS, WHEELS, BRAKES, SPARE TIRE. MY MECHANIC DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED AND SUGGESTED WE NO LONGER DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. TOYOTA DEALER SAID THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RUST RECALL WHICH IS IN EFFECT FOR TUNDRA TRUCKS EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE , BUT OFF BY A COUPLE MONTHS BY MANUFACTURING DATE. OUR TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT HAVE A SUGGESTION OR ANSWER FOR HOW TO FIX THIS, OTHER THAN TO ASK IF WE WERE INTERESTED IN BUYING A NEW CAR. WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF IT. THE INSIDE AND UPPER BODY LOOKS NEW. *TR

DURING OUR 2013 INSPECTION WE WERE TOLD WE HAVE SEVERE CORROSION IN THE UNDER CARRIAGE... WE TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE WERE TOLD THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 2000,2001,2002,2003. NOT 2004. OUR TUNDRA WAS BUILT IN MARCH 2004 AND HAS THE SAME CORROSION. HOWEVER, NO RECALL YET. WE JUST HAD OUR 2014 INSPECTION DONE AND THE VEHICLE FAILED. WE CAN NO LONGER PUT IT ON THE ROAD...SO- WE HAVE A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, 30,800 MILES AND IF WE WANT TO HAVE THE CORROSION REPAIRED IT WILL COST APPROX. $10,000... IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP? ARE THERE ANY CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS WE COULD JOIN? I'M SURE THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS VERY ISSUE. UNBELIEVABLE POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENTS. WE EVEN HAD TO TAKE THE SPARE TIRE OFF FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE AS WE FEARED IT WOULD FALL OFF ON THE HIGHWAY... *TR

WHILE MY 2004 TUNDRA WAS IN THE DEALERS FOR A REPAIR, THE SERVICEMAN NOTICED A CORROSION PERFORATION IN RIGHT FRONT FRAME RAIL. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER PAST INSPECTION UNLESS A $10,000 FRAME REPLACEMENT WAS DONE. THIS IS A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE WHICH WAS MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. DAMAGE IS DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR
