RUSTING FRAME AND CROSS MEMBERS. RUST COMING THROUGH THE BED JUST WHERE IT IS MOUNTED TO THE RUSTY FRAME. BEFORE LONG THE BED LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT RUST OFF COMPLETELY. THIS IS A TERRIBLE RUST ISSUE. THIS IS MY SECOND 2000 TUNDRA THAT I HAVE OWNED AND IT ALSO HAD TERRIBLE FRAME RUST. *TR

I OWN A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDAR TRUCK THAT HAS VERY SERIOUS RUST ON THE REAR FRAME THAT IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE FRAME. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THINK THAT TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EXTEND THE BUY BACK PROGRAM THAT WAS OFFERED ON PRIOR YEAR TRUCKS. *TR

I NOTICED THE SPARE TIRE DANGLING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. WHEN I LOWERED THE TIRE I NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE CROSS BRACE HAD RUSTED OUT AND LEFT THE SPARE TIRE HELD BY A THIN RUSTED PIECE OF METAL. I REMOVED THE TIRE AND KEEP IT IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. IF THAT TIRE BROKE AWAY WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MILES AN HOUR, IT COULD EASILY HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB WITH 5.7 LITER ENGINE WAS EXPERIENCING VEHICLE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF WIRING HARNESS, TRACTION CONTROL ECU, WHEEL SPEED SENSORS THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. A FACTORY TECHNICIAN WAS BROUGHT IN TO LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE. THE FACTORY TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK WERE BECAUSE SEVERAL SENSORS HAD LOST CALIBRATION DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING DISCONNECTED. THERE IS NO INFORMATION IN THE OWNERS MANUAL NOR ANY WARNING SIGNS ON THE VEHICLE THAT PROVIDE ANY CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS TO THE OWNER OR A SERVICE PROVIDER THAT DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CALIBRATION OF SENSORS IN THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION HAS CLARIFIED THAT THIS INFORMATION IS ONLY IN THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL. A REVIEW OF SEVERAL TOYOTA REPAIR PROCEDURES, WHICH REQUIRE THE BATTERY TO BE DISCONNECTED CONTAIN NO WARNING TO CHECK SENSOR CALIBRATION. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS ONE OF THE MAJOR SAFETY SYSTEMS OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN IT FAILS, THE OPERATOR MAY LOOSE THROTTLE AND BRAKING CONTROL. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SHUT DOWN THE THROTTLE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION, THUS NEARLY CAUSING A T-BONE COLLISION. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH A VERY BAD FRAME RUST PROBLEM. IT'S ALMOST AS BAD AS MY TACOMA WAS WHEN IT GOT RECALLED. I'VE PUT IN A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE, AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THEY HAVEN'T EVEN HAD ME TAKE IT THE DEALER AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE RUST PEELS OFF IN LARGE SHEETS AND IT'S AS BAD AS MANY OF THE PICTURES I SEE ON THE WEB. *TR

I JUST RECENTLY TRADED IN MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA LIMITED AND GOT $8200 TRADE FOR IT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MINT SHAPE WITH ONLY 74,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE PICTURES ETC...I JUST TRADED IT FOR A 2009 COROLLA S. THE FRAME WAS SO ROTTED I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE IN TRADING IT IN. IT WAS JUST FALLING OFF IN CLUMPS OF RUST. THE BRAKE LINES AND BRAKES WORRIED ME TO MUCH AND WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHEN THE TACOMAS HAD THEIR RECALL. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE RUST ID STILL HAVE THAT TRUCK. JEFF POPP WORCESTER MA NOW I HAVE A 200 DOLLAR MORE CAR PAYMENT I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE. IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET RE EMBURSED FOR THE DIFFERENCE OF THIS REASON OF GETTING RID OF MY TUNDRA.

2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA ISSUES - AFTER SEEING THE LATEST REPORT ON TUNDRAS, I FELT IT WAS NECESSARY TO FILE A COMPLAINT. MY TRUCK HAS HAD NUMEROUS ITEMS CRACK ON IT STARTING AROUND THE 85K MILE RANGE. FIRST THE MANIFOLDS, THEN THE LEAF SPRINGS, LEAKING FRONT CALIPERS. WE NOTIFIED TOYOTA WHEN ALL THESE ISSUES HAPPENED BECAUSE THE REPAIR COSTS WERE GOING TO BE 3,000. THEY SENT US A CHECK AT ONE POINT FOR $500 TO BE USED AT THE DEALER. NOW I AM GOING TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR RUST INVESTIGATION BECAUSE OF THE NEWS REPORT I SAW THIS EVENING. *TR

DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND SPARE TIRE FELL OFF UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND ROLLED DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TOOK TRUCK TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BECAUSE A NEIGHBOR (WHO IS A SERVICE MANAGER) LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS UNSAFE AND THE WHOLE BOTTOM WAS RUSTED OUT.. TOYOTA CLAIMED THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE THAT IT WAS JUST A RUSTED BOLT. TWO WEEKS LATER THE MUFFLER WAS LOUD SO WE TOOK IT TO A MIDAS DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC CALLED ME IN AND STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT THE MUFFLER THE BOLTS AND CLAMPS HAD ROTTED OUT AND HE NEEDED TO DRILL HOLES TO ATTACH NEW BOLTS. HE TOLD ME THAT THE BOLTS HOLDING THE JOINTS ON THE BED OF THE TRUCK WAS UNSAFE AND HE FELT THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND DEFINITELY NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. SO NOW I HAVE HAD 2 PEOPLE CLAIM THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND THE TOYOTA DEALERS CLAIMS IT IS SAFE. THE WHOLE UNDERNEATH IS A BIG PILE OF RUST. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED WHEN THE TIRE FELL OF WHILE I WAS DOING 50 MILES AN HOUR. I WAS ALLOWING MY TEENAGE SON TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BUT NOW IT SPENDS MOST OF ITS TIME SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID OF A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
