STABILIZER LINKS ROTTED OFF, FIXED. FRONT END FAILING, FALLING APART AT 78,000 MILES. ALSO TRUCK FRAME RUSTING BADLY, RECEIVED RECALL 3RD NOTICE A YEAR AFTER THEY EXPIRED IT. I NEVER RECEIVED 1ST 2 NOTICES, THEY DON'T COME NOT REGISTERED MAIL. WE HAD MAIL ISSUES WITH USPS! THE REGULAR MAILMAN WAS OUT FOR 2 YEARS WITH CANCER SO WE HAD SUBSTITUTE MAILMEN, WE DIDN'T ALWAYS GET OUR MAIL, GET OTHER PEOPLES MAIL ETC.. WE WOULD OF CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL IF WE KNEW! I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE, THEY DIDN'T CARE, SAID I HAD 3 NOTICES, I ONLY RECEIVED 1 NOTICE AND IT WAS A YEAR AFTER IT EXPIRED! I AM 2ND OWNER. THE FRONT END IN THE TRUCK IS FALLING APART, HORRIBLE VIBRATING/BUMPING AND BANGING WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, TRUCK NOW HAS 92K, I GOOGLED AND IT CAME BACK LOWER BALL JOINT PROBLEM RECALL, 2006 TUNDRA. IF IT WAS SERVICED BY PREVIOUS OWNER AND BALL JOINT FAILED AGAIN WOULDN'T BE RECALLED COVERED AGAIN? HOW DO YOU FIND OUT IF IT WAS FIXED THE 1ST TIME? I DON'T WANT TO PUT MORE MONEY INTO IT IF IT IS COVERED UNDER A RECALL! I BOUGHT IT WITH 58K, IT WAS ALWAYS GARAGED AND ONLY DID VACATION TRIPS/HIGHWAY MILES, PREVIOUS OWNER WORKED FROM HOME. I GO 7 MILES/DAY. AND HIGHWAY VACATION TRIPS. PREVIOUS OWNER WAS ELDERLY AND HAS PASSED AWAY. ANY SERVICE RECORDS I DON'T HAVE, BUT HE MAINTAINED IT WELL! RECALLS SHOULD COME REGISTERED MAIL! WE ALSO HAVE A SEAT BELT PROBLEM, THEY DON'T ALWAYS WORK. THEY JAM, DON'T RECOIL, GET STUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 TUNDRA WITH ONLY 62K MILES, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) CONTROLLER FAILED, CAUSING ALL FOUR WHEELS (BRAKES) ON MY 2007 TUNDRA TO LOCK UP IN TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THANKFULLY, I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC. THE LOCKUP OCCURRED WHEN I TOUCHED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT IF I HAD BEEN ON A FREEWAY TRAVELING AT A HIGHER SPEED. DEALER REPLACEMENT COST ESTIMATE: $3700. ONLY CAUSE GIVEN FOR THE FAILURE WAS "AGE".

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PRE-COLLISION SENSORS. PRE-COLLISION SENSOR HAS GONE OFF TWICE ADVISING ME TO BRAKE. BOTH TIMES THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE AROUND ME NOR WAS THERE ANYTHING TO THE SIDES OR IN FRONT. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE (?). WAS ADVISED THERE'S NO FIX AND TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND ANNOTATE ALL FACTORS SURROUNDING MY VEHICLE IF IT GOES OFF AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE ALTERNATIVE TO FINDING OUT WHY A PRE-COLLISION SENSOR GOES OFF. I SHOULD NOT FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE

ENGINE
CODE P2442 CAME UP ON MY TRUCK. THIS CODE INDICATES THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMPS AND VALVES ARE GOING BAD ON MY TRUCK. ALSO CAUSES THE TRUCK TO GO INTO LIMP MODE RESULTING IN SEVERE LOSS OF POWER WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS IN THE WRONG SITUATION. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IF YOUR TRUCK HAS OVER 150000MI OR 10 YEARS SINCE FIRST USE. THIS AFFECTS ALL TUNDRA AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE TWICE, SO THEY KNOW THIS SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.

STEERING COLUMN SHIFT BRACKET BROKE IN 3 PLACES WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE, MAKING SHIFTING IMPOSSIBLE. SEE PICTURES FROM 2 OF 3 FRACTURE LOCATIONS, 3RD FRACTURE IS AT AN ATTACHMENT SCREW (NOT SHOWN). THIS IS CAUSE BY AN UNDERDESIGNED PART MADE OF INFERIOR CAST ALUMINUM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON TUNDRAS AND OTHER TOYOTA MODELS WITH SAME DEFECTIVE BRACKET. THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT MUST BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY TOYOTA WITH A REDESIGNED PART.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LOW NOTE ELECTRIC HORN INTERMITTEN FAILURE: THE LOW NOTE ELECTRIC HORN BECOMES INOPERATIVE BELOW 25 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT WHILE PRESSING THE STEERING WHEEL HORN PAD/SWITCH. THE HIGH NOTE HORNS OPERATES DURING THIS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALL ENCOUNTERS DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHERE I NEEDED THE HORN DURING THESE PERIODS OF LOW TEMPERATURE AND THE HORN DIDN'T PROVIDE ADEQUATE AUDIBLE WARNING. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE CUSTOMER CONCERN". THIS IS A $50 PART THAT SHOULD OF BEEN REPLACED UNDER GOOD WILL IF PROBLEM COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DUPLICATED EVEN WHEN I PROVIDED VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE HORN INOPERATIVE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON WITH AN INOPERATIVE HORN. I CAN PROVIDE THE NECESSARY DEALERSHIP INVOICE TO NHTSA UPON REQUEST.
