STEERING
TOYOTA HAS A RECALL FOR EXCESSIVE RUST AND THEY DID UNDERCOAT MY TRUCK. YESTERDAY WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A SQUEALING SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CHECKED AND FOUND MY POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LOW. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW A PUDDLE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT THE STEERING RACK HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND POWER STEERING FLUID STREAMS OUT WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.

AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL ON MY 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA ACCESS CAB PICKUP SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THE NOTICE RECOMMENDED THAT I DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I AM SUPPOSE TO DO THIS WHEN MY VEHICLE ONLY FITS 2 ADULTS. WHY HASN'T TOYOTA OFFERED A BUY BACK ON THERE VEHICLES IF THEY CAN FIX IT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME? I WOULD LIKE A FIX FOR MY VEHICLE ASAP OR A SAFE RENTAL UNTIL THE MEANTIME.

STEERING
HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN I GO TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR EMPTY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE RACK AND PINION IS NO GOOD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1900.00. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS, I HAVE A CO-WORKER WHO BOUGHT THE SAME TRUCK I DID, IN THE SAME MONTH I DID. HIS HAS 145,000 MILES AND HIS RACK AND PINION WENT OUT TWO WEEKS AGO. LESS THAN 10,000 MILES BETWEEN THESE INCIDENTS IS QUITE A COINCIDENCE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
ANYTIME IT RAINS WATER LEAKS IN BEHIND THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, LEAKING WATER THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND INTO THE FLOORBOARD OF THE TRUCK THERE ARE LOTS OF WIRES AND A BLOWER MOTOR IN THIS AREA WHERE FIRE COULD CAUSE ANY NUMBER OF UNSAFE CONDITIONS. THE CAUSE HAS BEEN NARROWED DOWN TO ONE OR BOTH OF TWO THINGS. THE FIRST IS A CRACK THAT ORIGINATES IN THE SEAM BEHIND THE DASH BOARD OF THESE VEHICLES DUE TO PRODUCTION ERROR. THE SECOND IS ROTTING GROMMET PLUGS UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER COWL. THE FIRST BEING MUCH MORE SEVERE AS IT COULD ALSO CAUSE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.

AIR BAGS, SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
I AM DISABLED AND I KEEP RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES ABOUT AIRBAGS, AND FRAME RECALLS FROM TOYOTA, BUT THE LOCAL DEALERS TELL ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THEM. I AM UNABLE TO CARRY ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF SAFETY ADVISORIES AND THIS IS AFFECTING THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE, AND RISK OF INJURY TO MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGERS I MAY CARRY, AND INSURANCE COVERAGE BECAUSE OF THE RECALL NOTIFICATIONS. I SUFFERED DILIGENTLY TO PAY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I FIND IT'S AN UNSAFE PIECE OF JUNK THAT I CANNOT USE. I REALLY WANT THIS VEHICLE FIXED OR REPLACED WITH ONE THAT IS NOT UNSAFE.

TOYOTA INSTRUCTED ME NOT TO ALLOW AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPAIRED, RENDERING THE VEHICLE USELESS FOR ME. I CAN'T EVEN SELL THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE RECALL. I NEED TO TRAVEL IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, BUT THEY HAVE IGNORED MY REQUESTS FOR AIRBAG REPAIR.

SUSPENSION
LEFT FRONT BALL JOINT ON 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4WD FAILED AND PULLED OUT OF SOCKET WITH NO WARNING (E.G. LOOSE STEERING, NOISE, OR VIBRATION) AT APPROX. 2 MPH IN PARKING LOT. THIS CAUSED THE LEFT AXLE TO PULL OUT AND HIT THE GROUND DAMAGING THE SPLINES. THERE WAS AN EARLIER RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED BY INSTALLING A "NEW" REPLACEMENT BALL JOINT IN 2009. LUCKILY WE HAD JUST EXITED A FREEWAY TRAVELING AT 65 MPH. SINCE THERE WAS NO "ACCIDENT" AND NO "COMPREHENSIVE" DAMAGES, THE AUTO INSURANCE DID NOT COVER ANY OF THE $1,200 DAMAGE OR $200 RENTAL CAR EXPENSE. *TR
