POWER TRAIN
I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT A NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK (FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND SHAFT) WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING STILL ON COLD AND AT A SPEED LOWER THAN 50MPH. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT COULD LEAD ME TO HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT INTO THE CITY. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAIN WITH ABSOLUTELY NEW TUNDRAS. I WONDER IF IT IS ABOUT TIME FOR TOYOTA TUNDRA PUT HANDS ON IT AND FIX THIS OLD PROBLEM.

ENGINE
THE AIR PUMP WAS FAILED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AROUND 22,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED AT LOW SPEED 10MPH TO DEALER. IT WAS FIXED. RIGHT NOW AT 27,300 MILE TOWER CAM SEAL WAS LEAKED AND OIL WAS DRIPPED ON EXHAUST WITH SMELL AND SMOKED IN COLD DAYS. IT IS VERY SCARY DANGER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ABOUT MY TRUCK. I DID CALL TOYOTA CORPORATE FOR RECALL, BUT THEY DENIED! THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE CAM TOWER SEAL IS LEAKED BUT IT IS STARTING DRIPPING MORE NOW. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME TO CALL THEM AGAIN. TOYOTA CORPORATE KEEP DENYING!! I URGED TOYOTA COMPANY IMMEDIATELY TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAIL PRODUCT. IT MAY GET FIRE BECAUSE THE OIL DRIPPING ON THE EXHAUST, PASSENGER SIDE. PLEASE SERIOUSLY TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS AN INTERMITTENT RUBBING OR METAL-ON-METAL GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR WHEELS WHEN MAKING TURNS. INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE REAR BRAKE DISKS ARE RUBBING ON THE METAL BRAKE DISK SHIELD DURING LATERAL LOADING EXPERIENCED IN TURNS. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MORE FREQUENT AND MORE PRONOUNCED OVER THE PAST 12-18 MONTHS AND 10-15K MILES. TOYOTA BELIEVES THE CAUSE IS FAILED REAR AXLE BEARINGS. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 72K MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AND AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (T-SB-0013-13) ON THE ISSUE BUT THEY CLAIM THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND WILL NOT WARRANTY THE PROBLEM. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT OF A MAJOR DRIVE TRAIN SYSTEM AND NOT NORMAL WEAR.

WHEELS
THE TUNDRA IS A 2011 AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL HAS BEEN THE ISSUE. I WAS ON A CITY STREET ABOUT 2AM WHEN A LOUD CRASH AND THUNDERING MADE DRIVING VERY HARD. THE REAR WHEEL HAD SHEARED OFF AND WAS PASSING ME BY AS I SLOWED DOWN SPARKS FLYING LIKE THE FOURTH OF JULY!! I HAD BEEN GOING 25 MILES AN HOUR IN A RESIDENTIAL SETTING. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER WHOM AGREED THIS WAS AN OBSCURE OCCURRENCE, TO WHICH THEY WARRANTIED AND FIXED IT. THIS OCCURRED AT 250,000 MILES SO THAT SEEMED LIKE A SATISFACTORY ENDING! HOWEVER, AT 3500 MILES LATER GOING 70MPH DOWN INTERSTATE 20 AT 4 AM A HORRENDOUS CRASH ( NOISE) AND ALMOST FLIPPING THE SAME TIRE SHEARED AGAIN PASSING ME BY!! I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDNT FLIP! TOYOTAS EXPLANTION... THEY COULDNT/WOULDNT PROVIDE ME ONE BUT DID FIX MY PROBLEM AS THE FRICTION SANDED DOWN INTO THE ROTOR AND SHOCK ABSORBER HANGER!! NOT SURE IF OTHER FOLKS HAVE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE?? I DID ENCOUTER ANOTHER FELLOW (MY SON) WHOM HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AT 250,000 MILES ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WITH A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2012 HE OWNED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS TO WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE IS!! I FELT LIKE TOYOTA TOOK CARE OF ME REPAIR WISE BUT NEVER GOT A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM THEM ON THE CAUSE!! I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR AGENCY AND ITS RESOURCES LOOKING INTO WHAT IS CAUSING THIS DANGEROUS CONDTION

STEERING
THE STEERING IS VERY DIFFICULT AT TIMES AND FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS BINDING. THERE IS NO STEERING WHEEL RETURN. NO FLUIDS ARE LEAKING AND THE FLUID LEVEL IN THE POWER STEERING RESEVIOUR IS NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND TURNING. GOING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD BINDING CAN BE FELT WHEN YOU MOVE FROM SIDE TO SIDE IN YOUR LANE BY MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT.

VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A CAM TOWER LEAK DUE TO IMPROPER SEALING OF MATING SURFACES DURING ENGINE ASSEMBLY CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CAUSING A POTENTIAL FOR ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE ACCORDING TO SERVICING DEALER.

OIL BURNING CAN BE SMELLED WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE.COSTS TO REPAIR ARE QUOTED AT $3296 PLUS TAXES.

ENGINE
CAM TOWER SEAL PROBLEMS CURRENTLY MY TUNDRA IS HAVING A CAMSHAFT TOWER SEALS PROBLEM/GASKET. I THOUGHT MY TRUCK WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY GRAND KIDS INSIDE WHILE DRIVING.'.WITH IT SMOKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR A TOYOTA. I THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE STOPPED BY NOW, BUT IT HAS NOT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. IN DOING MY RESEARCH, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A BIG REPAIR JOB AS IT REQUIRES DISMANTLING PART OF THE ENGINE; THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR THAT I CURRENTLY OWN (2011). THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL OTHER MODEL YEARS THAT IT IS ALSO HAPPENING AS WELL (2011-13), IN WHICH AGAIN CAN CAUSE THE TRUCK TO CATCH FIRE, HARMING OR EVEN KILLING SOMEONE. IF NOT COMPLETED NOW OR TAKE ANY ACTION, TOYOTA COULD LOSE MONEY. YOU COULD EVEN STOP LAWSUITS THAT WILL BE FORTHCOMING WITH THIS ISSUE IF SOMEONE IS HARMED OR EVEN KILLED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! THIS IS MY SIXTH TOYOTA PURCHASE. THE MAIN REASONS FOR ME CHOOSING TOYOTA OVER FORD, GM, ETC. ARE QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO FIX MY ISSUE AT NO COST TO ME AND MAYBE RECALL THIS ERROR THAT TOYOTA SHOULD BE AWARE OF ON THESE MODEL TUNDRA TRUCKS. THIS HONEST GESTURE WOULD BOLSTER MY CONFIDENCE IN THE REASONS I MADE IN PURCHASING A TOYOTA.

REAR PASSENGER LEAF SPRINGS FAILING AT 60K MILES. I NOTICE THE WHEN LOOKING AT THE TRUCK, IT SITS UNEVENLY. I'VE NOTICED THE RIDE HASN'T SEEMED AS STABLE/STURDY AND THEN NOTICED THE ISSUE WITH THE SUSPENSION, I'M ASSUMING ITS LEAF SPRING RELATED AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS ISSUES MENTIONED ON VARIOUS FORUMS BUT I'VE NOT NOTICED A RECALL ISSUED YET.
