ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
3 PAIRS OF CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS IN LESS THAN 100K MILES. HAD I BEEN MORE VIGILANT ABOUT REPAIRING THEM AS SOON AS THEY OCCURRED, IT LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER COUPLE OF PAIRS. DEALER REPLACED THEM UP TO 100K, AND ALTHOUGH I PRESSED THEM FOR A SOLUTION, THEY WOULD NOT HONOR PROBLEM AFTER 100K MILES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I DRIVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND HAVE BEEN RECENTLY APPALLED AT NON ONLY MY VEHICLE'S BRAKE PERFORMANCE BUT THE AMOUNT OF LISTINGS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT! AND YET, NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. MY BRAKE ROTORS NEED REPAIR, BY ABS KICKS IN EVEN ON DRY SURFACES AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY AND HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS CLOSE-CALLS. THE FACT THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MANDATED IS INEXCUSABLE. *TR

THE FRAME ON MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS JUST AS RUSTY AS ALOT OF THE TACOMAS BEING BOUGHT BACK BY TOYOTA. I FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD ADD THE TUNDRAS TO THEIR INSPECTION LIST. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND HAD NO IDEA OF THE PROBLEMS TO COME. I HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH THE TUNDRA, WHO'S BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES, BUT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I HIT AND DAMAGED MY GARAGE DOOR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED BECAUSE OF BRAKE PROBLEMS ON THE TUNDRA. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE TO SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA NOT BEING ABLE TO HELP RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT PROBLEM. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND MY WIFE WHO'S LIFE IS AT STAKE NOW. WE HAVE BEEN USING THE TRUCK QUITE EXTENSIVELY, BUT FOR NOW, THE TRUCK IS IN PARK UNTIL WE DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH IT. I BELIEVED IN TOYOTA LIVING UP TO THEIR NAME, BUT NOW. I LOST CONFIDENCE IN THEIR PRODUCT. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO TAKE INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. *TR

STEERING:RACK AND PINION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP AT LESS THAN 5 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. HE MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RACK AND PINION SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME AND WAS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS RUSTED. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE FRAME SHOULD NOT BE RUSTED OUT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 135,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES ON MY TUNDRA, THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AND THE SHAKING CONTINUES. I WAS TOLD BY MY REPAIRMAN THAT TOYOTA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL HOWEVER, WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK HAS 82,000 MILES NOW AND FAR OUT OF WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD PAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA LIMITED: I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE WHEN IT ONLY HAD 34,000 MILES ON IT. I NOW HAVE 98,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND I HAVE ALWAYS HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS, SHAKING, PULSATING. I HAVE REPLACED MY ROTORS BEFORE AND SHORTLY AFTER THE SAME PROBLEM WAS BACK IN NO TIME. I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE BRAKES FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. IF NOT THERE SHOULD BE. I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS DISCUSSION BOARDS AND PEOPLE STILL WITH FACTORY WARRANTIES AND ALL OR BARELY OVER HAVE HAD THERE BRAKES OVERHAULED AT NO CHARGE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
I HAVE HAD ONE OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACED WITHIN THE PAST YEAR AT AN EXPENSE OF OVER $400. I NOW HAVE ANOTHER OXYGEN SENSOR FAILURE AND NOTE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME MANUFACTURER DEFECT. MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 52,000 MILES BUT IT IS BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD GRANTED BY TOYOTA. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL ALL 2000 TUNDRAS AND FIX THEM RATHER THAN EXTEND A WARRANTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
CHRONIC REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKAGE (LEAKS GEAR LUBE). DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR MY PROBLEM 3 TIMES SINCE 2005. DEALER CANNOT REPAIR PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA TRUCKS AND SUVS USING A SIMILAR REAR AXLE DESIGN. IT IS A FIRE HAZARD SINCE GEAR LUBE LEAKS ONTO HOT EXHAUST PIPING. IT IS A BRAKING HAZARD SINCE GEAR LUBE CONTAMINATES REAR BRAKES AND REDUCES BRAKING POWER. SEALS BEGIN TO LEAK EARLY IN LIFE OF VEHICLE BUT ARE NOT DEALT WITH UNTIL LEAK IS NOTED (AFTER SEALS HAVE BEEN LEAKING FOR SOME TIME) AND PROBLEM IS SEVERE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILURE; CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAUSING FORCED EXHAUST EMISSIONS INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE CARBON EMISSIONS COATING THE INTERIOR OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THUS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH; ALSO EXHAUST FUMES CAN MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND THUS CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS AND RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND POTENTIAL DEATH. THIS IS THE 3RD FAILURE SO FAR. *JB
