2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA SURGED FORWARD IN A CAR WASH STRIKING THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. BUILDING IS CONCRETE BLOCK AND DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY DAMAGE. DAMAGE TO TUNDRA IS IN EXCESS OF $2400. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD COVER MY $1000 DEDUCTIBLE, REIMBURSE MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE BODY REPAIR AND SEND A LETTER TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY STATING THAT SURGE WAS DO TO STICKY ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND WAS NOT MY FAULT. *TR

I INITIALLY CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER, 800-331-4331, ON OCTOBER 22, 2009 REGARDING THE FRAME RUSTING ON MY 2000 TUNDRA. I WAS ASKED TO WAIT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND A NOTIFICATION WILL BE SENT. SHE WENT ON TO SAY THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO LOOK UP VIN NUMBER AT THIS TIME. LOOKING BACK, I BELIEVE THAT MY INQUIRY WAS CATEGORIZED WITH THE RECENT TUNDRA REAR FRAME/SPARE TIRE RECALL. ON DECEMBER 10, 2009 I AGAIN CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER, TO NOTIFY THEM THAT I HAD DISCOVERED THAT RUST HAD PERFORATED THE FRAME IN THE FRONT LEFT/DRIVER'S SIDE TORQUE BOX AREA. AS IT HAS BEEN EXPLAINED TO ME, THIS IS THE ENERGY ABSORBING BODY/FRAME STRUCTURE THAT ABSORBS THE IMPACT DURING A CRASH AND IN MY CASE THE FRAME IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. I NOTED THAT I ASSUMED PERFORATIONS IN THE FRAME ARE NOT SAFE FOR VARIOUS REASONS. I ALSO NOTED THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE FRAME ROT IN THE REAR SPRING AREA. I FURTHER QUESTIONED THE ENTIRE INTEGRITY OF THE FRAME. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WITH PICTURES TAKEN AND PERFORATION CONFIRMED. A TOYOTA TECHNICAL REP HAS ALSO CONFIRMED RUST PERFORATION OF THE FRAME. ANY DECISION BY TOYOTA HAS BEEN PUT ON "HOLD".*TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA (PURCHASED NEW ON MARCH 07) I NOTICED AROUND JUNE OF 2009 THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATES WHEN BRAKING AT SPEED BETWEEN 40 TO 50 MILES. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 , THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THERE ARE RUST ON THE FROND DISKS AND THE REAR DRUMS AND IT THEY NEED TO RESURFACE THE FRONT DISKS AND REAR DRUMS. TRUCK THEN HAD ONLY (15576 MILES), I PAID $418.12 FOR THE REPAIR, ADVISOR SAID IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. ON FEB. 2, 2010 I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CONSUMER EXPERIENCE CENTER IN CA, THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS AN ISSUE, AND SHE GAVE ME A CASE NO. AND SAID I SHOULD TALK TO THE SERVICE MANAGE AT THE DEALER ( I DID NOT CONTACT HIM, BECAUSE I FELT I GET NO SATISFACTION). YESTERDAY ON MARCH 10, 2010 THERE IS A NEW REPORT ABOUT RUST ISSUES ON THE 2007 TUNDRA'S; AND ITS BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK ESPECIALLY AFTER SUCH A SHORT PERIOD AND ONLY 15576 MILES AT THE TIME I TOOK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED NOT ONLY ABOUT THE BRAKES THAT ALREADY STARTED TO RUST AFTER A SHORT PERIOD, BUT ALSO ABOUT BRAKE LINES, UNDER CARRIAGE ETC. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE BRAKES FAILED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO GAIN IN SPEED AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND TRIED TO NAVIGATE A LEFT TURN AT 70+ MPH. WITH THE REAR END HOPPING SOMEHOW I NEGOTIATED THE TURN BUT COULD NOT TURN AGAIN. I CROSSED THE NEXT STREET AND ENDED UP GOING THRU THE WALL OF AN APARTMENT BUILDING AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVING ROOM. IT WAS ONLY GOD'S DESIGN FOR ME NOT TO DIE THIS DAY. HAD I NOT MADE THE FIRST TURN I WAS GOING TO RUN INTO A SMALL GROVE OF MATURE TREES. ALSO, IF ANY OTHER CARS HAD BEEN ON THE STREET I COULD NOT HAVE AVOIDED THEM. LUCKILY THE SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 SMALL CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE LIVING ROOM. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2005 THAT HAS HAD THE THROTTLE DRIVERS UPDATED. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 6 INCIDENCES OF UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. THESE INCIDENCES OCCUR AT SLOW SPEED IN MUDDY SITUATIONS. DEPRESSING THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES. THIS OCCURS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE VSC AND SOFTWARE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE THROTTLE OR UNWANTED MOMENTUM IS TO THROW THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. EVEN THIS DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY HELP. I RECOMMEND THE IGNITION KEY AS THE QUICKEST WAY TO STOP THIS. ADDITIONALLY, OUR COMPANY HAS A NEWER TUNDRA THAT IS GETTING FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED SIMILAR SITUATIONS WITH OTHER EMPLOYEES DRIVING. SLOW SPEEDS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE, IN MUDDY SITUATIONS THE TRUCK PUSHES YOU UNCONTROLLABLY. I WILL INVESTIGATE MORE ONCE THE TRUCK IS RETURNED WITH THE RECALL REPAIRS. THIS ALL IS RELATED TO THE VSC SYSTEM AND THE SOFTWARE. PLEASE HAVE AN INVESTIGATOR CALL ME. I BELIEVE THAT I CAN EASILY REPRODUCE THIS SITUATION IN THE VEHICLE. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CURRENT RECALL IS ADDRESSING THE ISSUE! *TR

2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA RUST FRAME - FIRST I DIDN'T GET THE RECALL NOTICE. TOOK TRUCK TO TOYOTA IN GREENSBURG PA AND THEY REMOVED SPARE TIRE TO BACK OF TRUCK. ALSO NOTICED MORE ISSUES WITH FRAME ITSELF AND SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH INSPECTOR. THEY WANTED THIS DONE BEFORE THEY DID ANY REPAIRS. THE FRAME RUST IS THAT SERIOUS. AFTER THIS INSPECTION, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL THE TOYOTA EXPERIENCE CENTER TO OPEN A CASE. SO I TRIED, NOT TOO SUCCESSFUL. THEY KEPT INSISTING THAT MY CASE WAS ALREADY CLOSED. THE FIRST PERSON I TALKED TO TOOK ALL MY INFO AND THEN SAID HE HAD TO TRANSFER ME. SO THEY DID. TO ME IT SEEMED TO BE THE SAME PLACE. THE SECOND PERSON THEN AGAIN TOOK ALL THE SAME INFO AND TIRED TO TELL ME MY CASE WAS CLOSED. I KEPT STATING WHAT HAD HAPPENED, THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK AND THE FRAME WAS NOT REPAIRED BUT THEY KEPT TRYING TO CORRECT ME. FINALLY AFTER ABOUT THE 3 OR 4TH TIME, HE RELENTED AND GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER. IT WAS A VERY DISTURBING CALL, I FELT AS THOUGH THEY JUST WANTED ME TO GO AWAY AND LIVE WITH THE RUST ISSUE. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM. THEN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I GET A CALL BACK FROM TOYOTA. AGAIN THEY TRIED TO GET ME TO CLOSE THE CASE SAYING ALL THEY CAN DO WAS DONE. THAT IS NOT TRUE, MY SPARE TIRE IS STILL IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE RUST PERFORATION OF THE FRAME ITSELF. THE REP EVEN HUNG UP ON ME. EXTREMELY RUDE PERSON. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER SHIP CALLED ME BACK AND SAID MY CASE WAS REOPENED AND THAT I SHOULD HEAR SOMETHING IN 3 OR 4 WEEKS. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO. IN CONCLUSION, ALL THEY WANTED ME TO DO WAS GO AWAY. ALL THREE REPS THAT I TALKED TO AT THE TOYOTA EXPERIENCE CENTER WERE VERY ARROGANT TO ME. MY TRUCK IS BROKE, AND I JUST GET THE FEELING ALL THEY WANT IS FOR ME TO GO AWAY. THEY ARE NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCT, JUST LIKE THE BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE, IT IS THE CALL CENTER SO FAR. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
7/29/09 DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING GEAR AND MPH WAS MOVING FROM 60 TO 80 UP AND BACK DOWN. APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKE , SHIFTED GEAR TO NEUTRAL BUT NO ACTIONS COULD STOP THE TOYOTA TRUCK. MY NEPHEW AND I JUMPED FROM THE TRUCK WHEN I DETERMINED THAT IT WAS SLOWING DOWN AND NO CARS WERE PASSING ON THE FREEWAY. IT CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP 1/2 MILE AWAY FROM WERE WE JUMPED. THE ENGINE HAD SMOKE COMING OUT AND IT REVVING UP AND DOWN. TOWED IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID NO PROBLEM FOUND AND ACCUSED IT WAS THE FLOORMATS AFTER THEIR MASTER TECH LOOKED AT IT. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE US FOR WORN BRAKES AND BENT ROTORS WHICH WERE CAUSE BY THIS EVENT. IN-DISAGREEMENT WE TOWED TO ANOTHER TOYOTA AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, WORN BRAKE PADS, AND BENT ROTORS CANNOT BE FOUND. WE TOOK BACK THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND A SECOND INCIDENT HAPPEN 1/15/10. I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND SUDDENLY THE TRUCK WAS ACCELERATED FROM 25 MPH TO 60 MPH. I PERFORMED ALL WAYS TO STOP THE TRUCK BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP. TO AVOID HITTING A BIG-RIG I HAD TO VERGE INTO AN EMBANKMENT. AGAIN POLICE AND FIRE DEPT WERE CALLED BUT NO ONE ACCIDENT OCCURRED SO NO REPORTS WERE TAKEN. AGAIN WE TOWED IT TO THE DEALER STATING THE SAME SITUATION AND AGAIN NO PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOUND. THEY STILL HAVE THE TRUCK UNTIL TODAY 3/9/10 AND HAVE NOT GAVE ANY ANSWER ON WHAT IS HAD OCCURRED AND NO ACTIONS HAD BEEN TAKEN. I HAVE SUFFERED TREMENDOUSLY. FEAR HAUNTS ME AT NIGHT AND I AM AFRAID TO EVEN STEP FOOT INTO THE TRUCK. I AM EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED ON THE ORDEAL AND HOW TOYOTA PERSISTED THAT NOTHING HAPPENED. MY 15 YEAR OLD NEPHEW WHO JUMPED OUT WHILE WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY HAS BEEN TRAUMATIZED AND YET I CANNOT GET ANSWER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAD 4,500 MILES ON IT WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK STARTED ACTING FUNNY. TOYOTA SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO FIX IT AND I WAS NEVER GIVEN A REPLACEMENT UNDER LEMON LAW WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD JUST GOT THE TRUCK IN OCTOBER 2005 AND IN DECEMBER 2005 IT STARTED ACTING UP. I AM A TRAINED MECHANIC AND I KNOW THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A NEW VEHICLE. I WANT TOYOTA TO REFUND ME THE MONEY I PUT DOWN ON THE TRUCK, WHICH IS AROUND 8 GRAND. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
A CO-WORKER SENT ME A REAR PHOTO OF MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN THE PARKING LOT SHOWING THE SPARE ON THE GROUND. AFTER REMOVING THE SPARE I NOTICE THAT THE CROSS MEMBER WHICH SUPPORTS THE SPARE WAS BROKEN IN HALF. WHERE THE CROSS MEMBER ATTACHES TO THE FRAME HAS ROTTED AWAY. THE DRIVER SIDE SHOCK IS BROKEN AND DETACHED. THE EXHAUST IS ALSO QUESTIONABLE AS IT IS ATTACHED TO THE BROKEN CROSS MEMBER. REAR BRAKE LINE AND PROPORTIONING VALVE ARE ALSO IN QUESTION AS THEY ALSO ARE PARTIALLY SUPPORTED BY THE CROSS MEMBER AND ROTTING FRAME. AS OF T HIS WRITING I HAVE A CASE NUMBER ASSIGNED WITH TOYOTA BUT LIKE MANY OTHERS WE ARE GETTING NOTHING BUT LIP SERVICE. MY LOCAL DEALER HAS DETERMINED THAT MY TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I CAN PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS AND PHOTOS UPON REQUEST. *TR
