ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA V-8, 5.7 L. 4 LO LIGHT BLINKS, VSC LIGHT BLINK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON CONTINUOUSLY ALL THREE OF THESE LIGHTS ARE COMING ON. I CAN TAKE MY BATTERY OFF AND THEY RESET. PER TOYOTA DISCONNECT BATTERY AND IT WILL RE SET. THE TRUCK WILL KICK YOU DOWN TO 40 MPH OR SLOWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF YOU ARE RUNNING 60 AT THE TIME. WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS MY SECONDARY AIR INTAKE. AND A TIRE SENSOR PROBLEM. BUT THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE SUDDEN SURGES IN MOTOR OR DIEING FOR NO REASON. TALKED WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT. TO DATE NOT DONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS. HAVE TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES A DAY JUST TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MORE THAN 3 TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. WENT TO PULL OUT TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND IT KICKED DOWN, HAD THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED AND THE TRUCK WOULD BARELY MOVE. MY TRUCK NOW HAS 40,000 MILES AND IT STILL IS NOT FIXED. MY A/C WENT OUT, SAID IT WAS THE FUSE, WHAT ABOUT THE BLOWER MOTOR THAT HAS NEVER WORKED RIGHT, OR THE TRUCK WANTS TO DIE ALL THE TIME, ELECTRONIC START WONT WORK WAS TOLD MY BATTERY WAS NO GOOD YET THEY WON'T HONOR THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT IS NOW OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY DUE TO THEM TAKING SO LONG TO GET IT IN AND HAVING ME TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY ALL THE TIME. TOYOTA CALLED TO DAY AND SAID MY TRUCK WOULD BE DONE IN A COUPLE HOURS, THEN LESS THAN A HOUR LATER THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T BE DONE BECAUSE THEY HAD ORDERED THE WRONG PARTS AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING THEM A BATTERY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREW MAX TRUCK, I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT FOR AT LEAST A MINUTE. I WAS THE SECOND CAR IN LINE. SUDDENLY, UNEXPECTEDLY, MY TRUCK LUNGED FORWARD AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. DAMAGE WAS MINIMAL TO BOTH CARS BUT THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD. I SUSPECT IT DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH TOYOTAS. THIS WAS NOT A FLOORMAT ISSUE. I AM NOW FACED WITH A FINE AND LOSS OF MY 40 YEAR SAFE DRIVER STATUS. *TR

2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA FRAME RUST: TOYOTA HAS HAD MY TRUCK FOR THREE WEEKS NOW AND FINALLY I HEARD FROM SOMEONE ON 12/4/09 SAYING THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY REPORT FROM THE EVALUATION THEY DID AS TO WHY IT'S UNSAFE. I BELIEVE IT HAS MORE TO DO WITH THE FRAME AND NOT THE CROSS MEMBERS AS THEY CURRENTLY SUGGEST ON THE RECALL. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK BASED ON THEIR ADS OF VEHICLE LONGEVITY AND RESALE VALUE AND NOW BECAUSE OF THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECT, I AM WITHOUT A TRUCK. TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE FRAMES AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

I OWN A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA WHICH HAS SEVERE FRAME CORROSION. ON 12-05-09 THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SHACKLE SUPPORT BROKE. I HAD NO CARGO OR ANY LOAD IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK AT THE TIME AND DID NOT LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY I PERCEIVED ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK WAS THE VERY LOUD BANG I HEARD AS THE SHACKLE SUPPORT GAVE OUT, AND THE BED OF THE TRUCK SHIFTED DOWNWARD. I AM NOT SURE IF I CAN SAFELY OPERATE MY VEHICLE AS THIS IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE AVAILABLE TO ME. I CALLED IRA TOYOTA IN DANVERS MASSACHUSETTS AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO RECALL IS CURRENTLY COVERING THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING. I WAS GIVEN A TELEPHONE NUMBER TO CALL AT TOYOTA(1-800-331-4331) . NO WEEKEND HOURS..............NO HELP! *TR

THE BRAKE LINE TUBING AT THE PROPORTIONING VALVE ON THE LEFT REAR INSIDE FRAME RAIL CORRODED AND BURST CAUSING ALL BRAKE FLUID TO ESCAPE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MADE THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STOP. I WAS TRAVELING CLOSE TO HOME AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH.

FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, I DISCARDED THE OLD TUBING AND FITTINGS AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FRAME AREA BEHIND THE TUBING NEAR THE LEFT REAR SHOCK MOUNT IS CORRODED SO BADLY THAT I AM ABLE TO PASS A TENNIS BALL THROUGH THE LEFT REAR FRAME RAIL. THE RIGHT AND LEFT FRAME RAILS ARE PERFORATED WHERE THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER IS RIVETED TO THE HORIZONTAL FRAME CHANNELS DIRECTLY ABOVE THE REAR AXLE. THE FRAME IS CORRODED BADLY AND PAPER THIN IN AREAS THAT SURROUND THE PERFORATIONS. *TR

INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE'S FRAME INDICATES THAT THERE IS EXTENSIVE ROT BEYOND THE CROSSMEMBER INVOLVED IN THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE CURRENT RECALL IS LIMITED TO THE CROSSMEMBER SUPPORTING THE VEHICLES SPARE TIRE, WHILE THE FRAME ROT UNCOVERED IN THIS INSPECTION INVOLVES THE FRAME RAILS (RUNNING FRONT TO BACK) IN THE VICINITY OF BOTH FORWARD WHEEL WELLS AND IT IS EXTREMELY APPARENT WITHIN THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL WELL. IN ADDITION, THERE IS EXTENSIVE ROT IN THE FRAME BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT IN THE VICINITY OF THE REAR BRAKE LINE MOUNTS AND ALSO IN ANOTHER CROSSMEMBER FORMING THE REAR SHOCK TOWER ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. IT WOULD APPEAR THE ROT IS SO EXTENSIVE THAT THE FRAME IS BEYOND ECONOMICAL REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT WOULD BE WARRANTED.
