TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A ROUTINE OIL SERVICE. THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, THAT THE TWO MAIN SIDE FRAMES THAT HELD THE VEHICLE UP WERE CORRODED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALER. THE CONTACT CALLED SUNRISE TOYOTA (3984 SUNRISE HWY, OAKDALE, NY 11769, PHONE NUMBER: (631) 589-9000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT SERVICE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY CAMPAIGN, NOT A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND A NOTIFICATION WAS SENT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE RECALL WAS NOW EXPIRED; THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SERVICED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,000.

MY TRUCK'S BED HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH IN ONE SPOT. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED A TSB FOR THIS (TSB-0101-12) BUT REFUSES TO COMPLY. THEY CLAIM THAT MY TRUCK'S VIN DOES NOT FOLLOW IN THE RECOGNIZED RANGE AND THAT THE RUST WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS 6.5 YEARS OLD. IT TOOK SO LONG BECAUSE THERE IS A SPRAY-IN BEDLINER THAT COVERED THE DAMAGE. THIS OCCURS FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND PERFORATES COMPLETELY THROUGH. TOYOTA'S SOLUTION IS TO DEAL WITH IT. MY CLAIM WAS DENIED AND IN THEIR OWN WORDS: 'THE DECISION HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND WILL NOT CHANGE.' SO MUCH FOR EVER BUYING ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN.

ON 09/09/17 THE FRAME RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING A ME TO RUN OVER A CURB AND INTO A PARKING LOT. TOYOTA TREATED THE FRAME TO PREVENT RUST, BUT IT DID NOT STOP IT. NOW IT HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND ALMOST KILLED US! IN ADDITION TO THE IMAGES I HAVE SENT, I CAN PROVIDE MANY MANY MORE!

I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES FROM BF GOODRICH DEALER IN MINNESOTA ON12/9/2015 THEY MOUNTED AND BALANCED AND INSTALLED THE TIRES. THEN ON 9/01/2017 I HAD A REAR PASSENGER TIRE EXPLODE AND COME APART AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I BROUGHT THE DAMAGED TIRE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH INSTALLED THEM AND CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE TIRES THE DEALER SOLD ME AS NEW TIRES HAD A MANUFACTURES DATE OF 09/2000 THAT MEANT THAT THE TIRES WHERE OVER 15 YEARS OLD THAT THEY SOLD ME AS NEW TIRES AND I BELIEVE THAT IS ULTIMATELY THE ISSUE OF THE TIRE EXPLODING CAUSING A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT TYPE OF ACTION AS A CONSUMER I CAN TAKE TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. THANKS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. *JS

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CURRENT MILEAGE APROX. 89000 . HAD A BRAKE CHECK AT MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. RAISED TRUCK ON TO THE LIFT AND WAS SHOCKED AT WHAT HAD BEEN REVEALED . THE FRAME HAS ROTTED THROUGH ALL OF ITS CROSS MEMBERS, CREATING A MAJOR STRUCTURAL PROBLEM. THE REAR CROSS MEMBER WICH IS CONNECTED AT 4 POINTS TO THE MAIN FRAME RAILS IS NOW ONLY CONNECTED AT 1 POINT. THIS CROSS MEMBER ALSO CARRYS THE SPARE TIRE. IF GONE UN DISCOVERD MAY HAVE FALLEN OFF DURING TRAVEL, CREATING A SAFTEY CONCERN. THE MAIN FRAME RAIL HAS MAJOR RUST DAMAGE AT THE CONNECTION POINT WITH THE CENTER CROSS MEMBER WICH PROVIDES STABILITY TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION . TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON THESE FRAMES BUT WERE ONLY PROVIDING A SPRAY ON RUBBERIZED COATING, WICH MOSTLY FLAKED OFF IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA DIRECTLY AND OPENED UP A CLAIM WICH WAS EVENTUALLY DENIED.THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AS IS .IM NOT FINANCIALLY IN A POSITION TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE AT THIS TIME . I DONT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN WITH THIS SITUATION IF YOU SPEND 40-50,000 DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET MORE THAN 89000 MILES OUT OF IT

THE BED OF MY 2011 TUNDRA IS RUSTING THROUGH FROM THE BOTTOM UP. THE TRUCK HAS HAD A TOPPER OVER THE BED SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING BRAND NEW AND HAS NEVER SPENT A NIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE. THE RUST ISSUE COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE FRAME OR OTHER COMPONENTS COULD BE COMPROMISED IN A CRASH IF THEY ARE NOT STRUCTURALLY SOUND.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY TUNDRA WOULD NOT GO PAST 20 MPH. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO PULL OFF/EXIT. I BROUGHT IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER FOR AN AUTHORIZE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR. MY SECONDARY INJECTION VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE BACK IN JANUARY 2016 AND THE QUOTE PRICE WAS $2860 FROM MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. TOYOTA DID NOT COVER THE FAULTY INJECTION UNTIL A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT LETTER CAME OUT IN AUGUST 2017 FOR OWNER'S TO SUBMIT PAPERWORK. THIS MAY AFFECT OTHER TOYOTA TUNDRA AND SEQUOIA MODEL AS WELL.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW TOYOTA TRUCK. I STEP ON THE REAR BUMPER WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND NEARLY BROKE MY LEG, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR BUMPER APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN ALREADY BROKEN. WHEN I TOOK THE NEW TOYOTA TRUCK TO THE PARKER TOYOTA COEUR D'ALENE IDAHO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THE REAR BUMPER WAS UNDER RECALL. A "...EQUIPPED WITH RESIN REAR STEP BUMPERS AND RESIN REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS AT EACH CORNER." YET THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THIS I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THIS CRACKED BUMPER. THE BUMPER EVENTUALLY CAME OFF ON THE FREE WAY AND BROKE APART. I RETURNED AFTER PARKER TOYOTA IN COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO HAD THE PARTS AND I HAD THE TIME. BOB TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE BUMPER. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THAT I STEPPED ON THE PICKUP TRUCK'S BUMPER. I CALLED TOYOTA AND MY CASE NUMBER IS CASE NUMBER: 170-906-0652 JEREMY. THEY SAID PARKER TOYOTA REPORTED THAT THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE TRUCK, AND ALSO SINCE I STEPPED ON THE BUMPER THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE BUMPER. IF THERE IS ANY DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK, IT IS TINY AND IT HAD TO HAPPEN AFTER THE BUMPER WAS OFF THE TRUCK. TO HAVE ANY DAMAGE TO THE BODY AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO "THROUGH" THE BUMPER. I HAVE DRIVEN AROUND WITH THE CAR FOR NEARLY 1 YEAR AFTER THE BUMPER FELL OFF A NEW TOYOTA TRUCK. STEPPING ON A BUMPER, WHICH IS A VERY NORMAL THING TO DO WITH A PICKUP TRUCK SHOULD NOT VOID THE RECALL. IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT A BRAND NEW TRUCK HAD A RESIN BRACKET THAT GAVE WAY, INJURING ME, AND BECOMING A ROAD HAZARD. TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO PAY TO FIX THEIR PROBLEMS.
