ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, AIR BAGS
Horn siren is not being activated when pressed by center switch on steering wheel. After researching many tundra message boards, this appears to be a frequent problem amongst tundra owners. Incident: vehicle in front of me at drivethru backed into me when they thought they were in drive after repositioning themselves for mic. I was not able to beep my horn and warn them. Luckily no damage occurred.

POWER TRAIN
AT ABOUT 2,000 MILES AGO THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHAKING AND RUMBLING MAINLY WHEN IT WAS IN 5TH GEAR. THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD AND WILL NEED REPLACED FOR $3,000. THE TRUCK ONLY HAVE 90K ON IT, AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. AT JUST OVER 90K ON THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT ALREADY BE GOING OUT. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LENS COVER ON VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT CLEAR AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF USE, THEY ARE BECOMING FOGGED OVER BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND THE SAND FROM OTHER VEHICLES GOING DOWN THE ROAD SANDBLAST THEM. THIS CAUSES THE HEADLIGHT TO NOT PROJECT THE LIGHT DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OUT DRIVE THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS CAN CAUSE VEHICLE ACCIDENTS AND PEDESTRIAN INVOLVED ACCIDENTS. THEY USED TO BE MADE FROM GLASS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED. THANK YOU.

POWER TRAIN
I PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO CLOSE A GATE ON MY FARM PROPERTY. WHEN I REALIZED THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS, I TRIED TO GET BACK IN TO STOP IT. THE DOOR KNOCKED ME DOWN AND PICK UP ALMOST RAN OVER ME. I DID A BACKWARDS SUMMERSALT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ROLLING PICKUP. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET UP AND GET TO PICK UP, IT HAD SLOWED DUE TO THE JACK KNIFING OF THE BALE BUGGY I WAS TOWING. PLASTIC AND RUBBER IN THE SHIFTER HAD TO BE PUSHED BACK INSIDE SHIFTER CASE BEFORE I COULD PUT BACK IN PARK POSITION. LATER THAT SAME DAY, I PUT IN PARK IN PARKING LOT AND IT JUMPED INTO REVERSE AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS STILL IN VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE SHIFTER CONSOLE BUT ACTUAL PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES. TWICE I WAS OUT OF VEHICLE. TWICE I WAS STILL IN DRIVERS SEAT. ONLY ONE TIME DID THIS PROBLEM RESULT IN INJURY.
