TOYOTA TUNDRA FRAME CORRODED. THERE IS A BASEBALL SIZED HOLE IN MY FRAME AND TOYOTA WAS NOTIFIED OF IT AND DENIED THAT IS WAS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR ISSUES RELATED TO IMPROPER ANTI CORROSION TREATMENT DURING MANUFACTURING. THEY STATED THEY HAD A CAMPAIGN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BUT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY PHONE, FAX, MAIL, EMAIL, OR ANY OTHER MEANS.

THE FRAME - BOTH RAILS - IS RUSTED THRU AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. YOU ARE ABLE TO PUT YOUR FINGER RIGHT THRU ONE OF THE RAILS AND THE OTHER YOU COULD POKE THRU WITH A BALL PEEN HAMMER. IT IS AT THE VERY END OF THE RAILS SO THERE IS NO WAY TO WELD A PIECE ON IT. THIS WAS NOTED ON 9/15/20 BUT CANNOT TELL WHEN IT FIRST STARTED THE RUSTING PROCESS - HAS BEEN PASSING INSPECTION EVERY YEAR.

FIRST AND ONLY TIME I USED THE SUPPLIED JACK FOR MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS AS INDICATED IN OWNERS MANUAL AND WAS ON LEVEL GROUND AT TIME OF THIS PITIFUL JACK?S FAILURE. THE JACK DID NOT HOLD THE WEIGHT OF MY TRUCK WHEN I HAD TO REMOVE A TIRE. AS A RESULT, THE TRUCK FELL OFF OF THE JACK AND CAUSED MULTIPLE DAMAGE TO TIRE I USED (THANK GOD!!) AS A JACK STAND. THE ROTOR OF REAR PASSENGER SIDE WAS BENT AND THE LEAF SPRINGS OF THAT PASSENGER SIDE SHIFTED AND ARE NOW NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY.*DT CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS DAMAGE BY THE FAILED JACK. DEALER DID NOT OFFER TO REPLACE THE JACK AND STATED VEHICLE WAS PAST WARRANTY.*JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
THE AMPLIFIER FOR THE AC/HEAT CONTROLS BROKE. I NEED IT FIXED AS THE TRUCK IS NOT USABLE IN SOUTHEAST ARIZONA WITHOUT AC. TOYOTA PUT THE AMP IN THIS MODEL BEHIND THE DASH. THIS WAS WRONG AND THEY CHANGED IT FAIRLY QUICKLY. TO REPAIR THIS MODEL REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL $1,200 OF COST BEYOND THAT OF THE BROKEN PART. I SPOKE WITH TOYOTA AND HAVE A FILE NUMBER. THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THIS COST OR AN ELECTRONIC WORK AROUND. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN BUT IT IS A DEATH TRAP AND THIS IS CAUSED BY POOR ENGINEERING. ATTACH IS THE REQUEST I SENT TO TOYOTA. *TR

A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN MY 07 TUNDRA IN 2018 (DO TO IMPROPER SERVICE) WORKED WELL AT THAT TIME. IN 2019 TAIL SHAFT SEAL STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN WAS THEN REPLACED WITH A NEW SEAL GENIUNE TOYOTA SEAL HAS WORKED WELL FOR ABOUT 3K MILES AND HAS STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN IT SEEMS TO ONLY LEAK AFTER ONCE THE TRUCK GETS WARMED UP AND ONLY WHEN IT IS IN MOTION ON HWY OR STREETS. I AM SEEING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS! WILL INCLUDE LINKS. I SEE RECALLS FOR 07 4WD FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR THE 2WD WHY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM EXACTLY, AND FEEL THIS COULD BE A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT, FIRE OR DEATH. HTTPS://WWW.TUNDRATALK.NET/THREADS/TRANSMISSION-TAILSHAFT-SEAL-LEAK.105127/ HTTPS://WWW.KBB.COM/TOYOTA/TUNDRA-DOUBLE-CAB/2007/RECALL/?MILEAGE=96000 HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/TOYOTA/TUNDRA/2007/DRIVETRAIN/POWER_TRAIN.SHTML THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DRIVELINE OR SEAL PROBLEM HERE AND IT IS CLEAR IT'S NOT JUST THE 2007 4WD IT ALSO AFFECTS THE 2007 2WD TUNDRA TRUCKS AS WELL BEING THE TRANSITION IS A CLOSE SYSTEM AND THE CONSUMER CAN'T AD TRANSITION FLUID WHEN IT'S LOW THIS PROBLEM IS UNACCEPTABLE NOT TO MENTION THE MANY SAFETY ISSUES THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD OR HWY.

ON JULY 18 2019 MY FILE TANK STRAP RUSTED OFF. I NOTICED THE TANK HANGING DOWN WHEN MY G AND I WERE ON A DINNER DATE. WHEN I TRIED TO REPAIR IT THE BRACKET THAT BOLTS TO THE FRAME TORE OFF DUE TO RUST. I HAD NO WAY TO FIX IT SO I PUT UP THE TANK WITH A RATCHET STRAP AND DROVE IT ONLY MINIMALLY. ON APRIL 15TH 2020 MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START AND SO AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OR SO I HAD A TOW TRUCK PICK IT UP AND BRING IT TO A LOCAL SHOP. BEFORE THE SHOP GOT STARTED ON THE VEHICLE THEY TOLD ME THE FRAME IS IN REALLY ROUGH CONDITION. THIS IS NEWS TO ME BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT FROM A LOCAL DEALER, RHINELANDER HONDA TO BE EXACT, ON NOVEMBER 27 2018. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT A YEAR AND A HALF. THEY THEN PROCEED TO TELL ME ABOUT A TOYOTA FRAME RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I MAY FALL UNDER. WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP I REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER, RHINELANDER TOYOTA, AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET HELP BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN MARCH/MAY OF 2019 FOR MY TRUCK. I TOLD THEM I HAD JUST BOUGHT IT AND HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE FRAME RECALL. THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT HELP ME AND GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE. I CONTACTED AND SPOKE WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE AT THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME EITHER. I HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHY IF TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH RUST/CORROSION ISSUE THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE FRAMES FOR THE TRUCK YEAR THAT MY TRUCK FALLS INTO BUT GIVE IT AN EXPIRATION DATE AND THEN NOT HONOR FIXING THE ISSUES THEY KNOW EXIST. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY LETTERS OR INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE FRAMES AND NOW MY TRUCK IS STILL AT THE SHOP WHILE THEY TRY TO DETERMINE THE BEST WAY TO MAKE IT ROAD WORTHY. THIS IS NOT A POORLY MAINTAINED TRUCK. OTHER THAN THE FRAME ISSUES IT IS A VERY NICE PICKUP. I HAVE ONE PICTURE FROM THE MECHANIC SO FAR AND I WILL ATTACH IT.

I HAVE A 2007 WHITE TUNDRA. MY PAINT ON THE TUNDRA IS NOW DULL. FADING AND BEGINNING TO PEAL. THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE TOP COAT BEGAN FOUR YEARS INTO OWNING THE VEHICLE. I'VE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD IT'S MY FAULT. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WHICH TELLS ME THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS. THE PAINT ON THE ENTIRE VEHICLE IS MATTE; NO SHINE. NO WAX WILL BRING THE SHINE BACK. STAINS FROM TOYOTA REPAIR SHOP ARE CONSISTENTLY VISIBLE AND WILL NOT WASH OUT OF THE PAINT. TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR THE BAD PAINT.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE FROM TOYOTA TO SAY THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM VALVE STUCK OPEN, WE CONTACTED THEM, THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE MILEAGE, BUT, UNDER THE YEAR OF MANUFACTURE, THIS WAS RELAYED TO US ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, VERBALLY, TOYOTA SEEMS RELUCTANT TO PUT IT IN WRITING. THE PROBLEM THEY SAID IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY SENSOR INSTALLED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED. WHEN THE SENSOR TRIGGERS, THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER IMMEDIATELY, THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN OVERTAKING FOR EXAMPLE. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE VERBAL MESSAGE WE RECEIVE SAYS TOYOTA WILL NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY SENT A RECALL LETTER, AND THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY SENSOR INSTALLED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. IF YOU REQUIRE MORE INFORMATION PLEASE LET US KNOW THANK YOU

2007 TUNDRA IN MINT CONDITION....FRAME UNDERCOATING RECALL WAS PERFORMED A YEAR AGO...DROPPED THE SPARE TIRE TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE AND WAS DEEPLY CONCERNED WITH THE FLAKING RUST ON THE FRAME CROSSMEMBER. CLEARLY, THE COATING WAS SPRAYED TO COVER WITHOUT ANY PREP WORK OR RUST REMOVAL FIRST. I AM SEEKING A SECOND LOOK...LOCAL BODY SHOP PROFESSIONAL SAID THIS WAS TERRIBLE WORK AND THE FRAME LIFE IS VERY LIMITED.

THE RECALL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA FOR RUSTED FRAME WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD SPRAY IT WITH RUST PROHIBITIVE. I WAS A MECHANIC FOR MANY YEARS AND IF THE FRAME IS NOT STRIPPED DOWN AND SANDBLASTED TO METAL THERE IS NO GUARANTEED METHOD TO STOP THE RUSTING. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE ALL THE FRAMES OTHERWISE IN A FEW YEARS THERE WILL BE MORE BROKEN FRAMES ON THE ROADS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR OFFICE WAS INVOLVED IN THE CLASS ACTION SUITE BUT I AM REASONABLE SURE LAWYERS AND JUDGES NO NOTHING OF MECHANICS OR ENGINEERING. I PLAN OF KEEPING MY TRUCK FOR MANY MORE YEARS AND IF THE FRAME FAILS THEN I WILL GETTING LEGAL COUNSEL FOR A RECOURSE TO SOME ENTITY BE IT GOVERNMENT OR COMMERCIAL. IF YOU ALL TAKE YOUR JOBS SERIOUSLY THAN THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED SOONEST BEFORE TOYOTAS ARE FALLING APART ON THE HIGHWAYS AND KILLING PEOPLE. THEY MADE THE ERROR AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR IT NOT US!!!!
