AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING APPROX 5-15 MPH ON A SMOOTH, PAVED, SLIGHTLY UPHILL ROAD WHEN MY DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT AND BACK SEAT DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AS WELL AS THE DRIVERS SEAT AIRBAG. THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ALSO LOCKED UP. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE ON THE OUTSIDE WHAT SO EVER. IT HAS 57,XXX MILES. I PURCHASED IT NEW AND ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE IN WHAT HAS BEEN AN EXTRAORDINARY VEHICLE UP TO THIS POINT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS CARRYING AN OLD BATTERY ON THE TRUCK BED AND THE BATTERY LEAKS SO THE FLUID SPILLED OVER MY FUEL TANK AND BURN/CORRODE THE VACUUM AND GAS LINES. I THINK THE FUEL TANK SHOULD BE PROTECTED WITH AN UPPER SKILL PLATE BECAUSE IS A TRUCK AND YOU ALWAYS CARRY DIFFERENT THINGS AND THIS IS KIND OF EXPOSE OR DRAIN HOLES OF THE BED ARE NOT LOCATED PROPERLY, SO THEY WANNA CHARGE ME 2K DLS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A BAD DESIGN PROBLEM.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TOYOTA 5.7L V8 ENGINE FOUND IN TOYOTA TUNDRAS, SEQUOIAS, SIENNAS, LAND CRUISERS, AND LEXUS LX570S SUFFER FROM CAM SHAFT TOWER LEAKAGE, AND IT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN TO ANYONE THAT OWNS ONE. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE FROM 1K MILES TO 100K MILES, BUT IT CAN DAMAGE THE ENGINE AND OTHER IMPORTANT PARTS AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT LEAKS IN TO THE EXHAUST AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE. I OWN A 2014 TUNDRA THAT HAS THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY $3K TO FIX IT!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL) WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THROTTLE CONTROL CHANGED. THE TRUCK WOULD RANDOMLY THROTTLE WITHOUT PUSHING ON THE PEDAL. ADDITIONALLY, IF I PUT THE PEDAL DOWN THE TRUCK COULDN'T GET BEYOND 60MPH GOING UP A HILL. HOWEVER, GOING DOWN HILLS THE TRUCK WAS THROTTLING ON ITS OWN AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO ATTAIN A SPEED OF 70MPH EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T ON OR EVEN FUNCTIONING (AT THIS POINT I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY). IF I BRAKED THE THROTTLING WOULD STOP; HOWEVER, WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRUCK WOULD CONTINUE TO THROTTLE. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN WAS RANDOMLY THROTTLING. I DISENGAGED THE BATTERY THINKING THAT POSSIBLY REBOOTING THE TRUCKS COMPUTER WOULD HELP. I STARTED THE TRUCK IN PARK AND IMMEDIATELY THE RPMS INCREASED AS IF SOMEONE HAD THERE FOOT FULLY DECOMPRESSING THE PEDAL. I KNOW TOYOTA HAD RECALLS ON THEIR VEHICLES BUT APPARANTLY NOT ON THE 2014 TUNDRA MODEL. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE TRUCK ISSUE THAT LUCKILY OCCURRED IN A RURAL SETTING. I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR TWO DAYS AND DROVE THE TRUCK AROUND THE 4 MILE BLOCK. INITIALLY THE TRUCK DROVE NORMAL FOR THE FIRST TWO MILES. BY MILE 3 IT WAS UNCONTROLLABLY THROTTLING. THE THROTTLING DID NOT STOP THIS TIME EVEN WHEN HOLDING DOWN THE BRAKES BUT LUCKILY THE BRAKES ARE AT LEAST GOOD ENOUGH TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN.

TOYOTA - DEFECTIVE PLASTIC MATERIALS USED: THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL WELL MELTED FROM THE SUN WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. TOYOTA FAILED TO USE QUALITY PLASTIC MATERIAL WITHOUT UV PROTECTION AND A HIGHER ENOUGH MELTING THRESHOLD, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL FLAIR MELTING FROM HEAT OF SUN. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE, SHOULD SUN HEAT MELT A CAR PART WHICH SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND SUN HEAT OUTSIDE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA REGARDING THIS MATTER. I INFORMED TOYOTA NA THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL FLAIR MELTED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE COMPANY OFFERED TO PAY $200 FOR AN $850 REPAIR. I REQUEST FULL REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR OF MY TOYOTA TUNDRA 2014, PLUS DAMAGES OF $2,400 DUE TO THE TIME FROM WORK THAT WAS REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA NA.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF GAS (ENGINE REVVED) AND ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN CAUSING VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT DURING WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SENT VEHICLE SMASHING INTO CEMENT BARRIER. VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN SINCE DRIVING OFF LOT IN NOVEMBER, 2016. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, BUT IT'S CLEARLY AN ACCELERATION ISSUE. I'VE ALSO TESTED THIS AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT NEARLY 1.5 MILES FROM MY HOME, MOSTLY UP HILL WITHOUT EVEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. IN ADDITION, MY REAR TIRES SPIN WHEN IN DRIVE WHEN ON SNOW OR ICE WHEN NOT ENGAGING THE GAS PEDAL. ENGINE REVS WHILE THIS HAPPENS, AS IT DID DURING MY COLLISION.
