STRUCTURE:BODY
I RECENTLY TOOK MY TRUCK INTO TARBOX TOYOTA IN RHODE ISLAND FOR A STATE REQUIRED INSPECTION. I PURCHASED MY TUNDRA FROM THIS DEALERSHIP IN 2004. THE TRUCK FAILED THE INSPECTION. A MAJOR DEFECT WAS RUST RELATED HOLES IN THE FRAME. WHEN THE TARBOX DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A RUST PREVENTING UNDERCOATING 2-1/2 YEARS AGO, I ASKED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO HOLES IN THE FRAME. AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE ATTACHED PICTURES, THE FRAME HAS SUBSTANTIAL RUST AND A HOLE IN THE SAME AREAS EXPERIENCED BY OTHER 2004 TUNDRA OWNERS. IT IS ALSO OBVIOUS BY THE PICTURES THAT THE UNDERCOATING INSTALLED TO PREVENT RUST FAILED AND PEELED OFF--AND IN FACT COVERED UP EXISTING RUST AREAS--RATHER THAN PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST FUTURE RUST DAMAGE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THE RUST DAMAGE ON MY TRUCK--OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENHANCING THE RUST DAMAGE CAUSED BY IMPROPERLY COATING THE FRAME OVER EXISTING RUST. IN FACT, THE ADVICE OFFERED WAS TO JUST "LEASE A NEW VEHICLE." MY SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT IN ADDITION TO MYSELF, THIRD PARTY OWNERS MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT TOYOTA COVERED UP RUSTED FRAME DAMAGE WITH THE UNDERCOATING INSTALLED OVER RUST--AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL HOLES IN THE FRAME THAT ARE NOT VISIBLE.

AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY/WIPER
AIR BAGS (MANUFACTURE UNKNOWN) ON SEPT 29, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH, MY STEERING WHEEL AND KNEE BAGS INFLATED FOR NO REASON. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND LOST SIGHT OF THE ROAD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BECAUSE OF THE FOG ON THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN THE FOG CLEARED, I COULD SEE THAT I WAS GOING TO END UP IN A FIELD AND THAT I HAD CROSSED THE CENTER LINE. I TRIED TO BACK OUT OF THE FIELD BUT COULD NOT BECAUSE OF THE MUDDY CONDITIONS. I CALLED MY WIFE, TOLD HER THE AIR BAGS HAD INFLATED FOR NO REASON. I ASKED HER TO CALL AAA FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE SPEAKING TO HER, A MAN WALKED UP TO ASK IF I WAS OKAY. I SAID YES. HE THEN ASKED IF I REALIZED I HAD HIT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. I WAS NOT. I HAD NOT SEEN ANY OTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE "FOG" FROM THE AIR BAG. I ASKED HIM WHAT VEHICLE AND HE POINTED TO A MAN IN A RED SHIRT STANDING IN FRONT OF A WHITE PICKUP WITH DUEL REAR WHEELS. I TOLD MY WIFE I NEEDED TO GO SEE IF ANYONE WAS INJURED, GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AND WALKED BACK TO THE OTHER TRUCK. NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD BY MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER THAT THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY $7,000 DAMAGE TO THE OTHER TRUCK. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.

FRAME CORROSION WAS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED DURING 2012 RECALL. AS A RESULT THE FRAME HAS CORRODED IN MULTIPLE AREAS AND THE BRAKES JUST FAILED DUE TO BRAKE LINE CORROSION. TOYOTA IS REFUSING ANY ADDITIONAL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES. HOWEVER THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE TO ADDRESS THE FRAME CORROSION DURING THE 2012 RECALL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE AVOIDANCE COLLISION RADAR CAN BE INTERMITTENT. SOMETIME, IT DETECTS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, THEN STOP WORKING AND MY TRUCK WILL ACCELERATE TOWARDS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AT OTHER TIME, THE WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON, SAYING THE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE CLEANED, EVEN THOUGH THE WINDSHIELD IS SPOTLESS AND DROP MY TRUCK OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL, CAUSING A QUICK DE-ACCELERATION. I WAS IN FRONT OF A SEMI-TRUCK GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THE SEMI-TRUCK CAME CLOSE TO HITTING ME IN THE REAR END. I'VE HAD THIS INTO MY TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE SOFTWARE DOES NOT RECORD WHEN THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ISN'T WORKING. I CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAVE AVOIDED USING MY CRUISE CONTROL MOST OF THE TIME.
