I HAD THE ACCELERATOR STICK TWO TIMES RECENTLY. MY TIRES SPUN VERY FAST AND I ALMOST TOOK OFF INTO A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF I DIDN'T QUICKLY PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL UNTIL THE ENGINE REVVED DOWN. THIS IS A HELPLESS FEELING AND SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE TRUCK.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND HAD MY VEHICLE FRAME INSPECTED IN 2014. I WAS TOLD IT WAS OK AND AN UNDERCOATING WAS SPAYED ON THE FRAME. ON 11-23-2018 I WAS LOOKING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND NOTICED A SIZABLE HOLE IN THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BEHIND THE FRONT WHEEL. I HAD TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE RUSTED HOLES ON THE FRAME. I WAS ADVISED IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER ANY CURRENT RECALLS OR CAMPAIGNS AND ADVISED TO CALL TOYOTA CORPORATE TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE. I SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE AND A SUPERVISOR AND WAS GIVEN A FLAT NO. MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY CURRENT CAMPAIGNS OR RECALLS AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. I WAS INFORMED IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THE CURE CONDITION.

AIR INJECTION PUMPS STOPPED WORKING AND I CANNOT ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE RAMP WITH 50% OR MORE REDUCTION IN POWER AND IT'S CREATED A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP US? TOYOTA DEALER SAYS IT'S $1,400 PLUS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP WE CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR AND WE HAVE BEEN A VERY LOYAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SINCE 1981. IN FACT, WE DON'T EVER BUY A VEHICLE UNLESS IT'S A TOYOTA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION. ANY ASSISTANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. GOD BLESS!

HAD TRUCK TOWED DUE TO BROKEN BRAKE LINE AND WAS ADVISED BY MECHANIC THAT FRAME WAS SEVERELY CORRODED WITH HOLES ABOVE FRONT WHEELS AND WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. REAR END ALSO SEVERELY CORRODED. CONTACTED TOYOTA DEALER, NO WARRANTY OR RECALL ON 2006 FRAMES ALTHOUGH TUNDRAS AND TACOMAS OLDER AND NEWER THAN 2006 ARE GETTING WARRANTIED FRAME REPLACEMENTS DUE TO RECALLS. DEALER WENT TO THE GARAGE THAT HAD TOWED THE TRUCK AND INSPECTED THE FRAME. DEALER ADVISED US TO GET HOLES IN FRAME FIXED AT OUR EXPENSE. DEALER VERIFIED THAT THERE WAS AN EARLIER RECALL TO SPRAY FRAMES, BUT THE SPRAY HAD LIMITED AVAILABILITY FROM TOYOTA AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FULFILL THE RECALL WHEN WE BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THEM FOR THIS SERVICE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVABLE FOR MANY MORE. WE LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA USA ON 11/14/2018, COMPLAINT# 181 114 1536 AND ARE NEXT ENTERING A COMPLAINT WITH THE NH ATTORNEY GENERAL.

TOYOTA INFORMED ME THROUGH MAIL TO MY ADDRESS THAT MY NEW 2018 TOYOTA TUNDRA "FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS (FMVSS) NO.208," "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION," AND 214, "SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION." WHEN I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER PROVIDED 1-888-270-9371 TO ASK IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO COVER THE COST OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO AN ALTERNATE REPAIR FACILITY LOCATED ON MY ISLAND, THEY REFUSED, NOT ONLY DID THEY REFUSE BUT THEY CLAIMED THAT ONLY A TOYOTA AUTHORIZED DEALER COULD PERFORM THE REPAIR. WHEN I ASKED HOW I WAS SUPPOSE TO DEAL WITH THE SAFETY RECALL WITHOUT AN OPTION TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT ON MY OWN, WHEN I ASKED FOR THE RESPONSE IN WRITING THEY ALSO CLAIMED THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PROVIDED THAT.
