POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LEVER SNAPPED SOMETHING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN I SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THIS FAILURE SEEMS TO BE SOMEWHAT COMMON PROBLEM AS I HAVE FOUND MANY CASES OF THIS ON THE WEB. ONE OF THE MANY INSTANCES I FOUND SAYS THIS: THE CASTING DESIGN HAS A STRESS RISER IN IT ( A TAPPED HOLE) IN THE WORST PLACE POSSIBLE AS FAR AS STRESS IS CONCERNED!. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX! ESTIMATES COMING IN AT > $700.. I THINK TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL !! *TR

SUSPENSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY TO THE POINT WHERE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BOUNCED UP AND DOWN ON THE CONTACT'S FOOT. THE FAILURE WAS MOST NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT COULD NOT PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THROUGH RESEARCH AND PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATIONS, THE FAILURE WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE HARMONIC VIBRATION CAUSED BY THE EXPANSION JOINTS. THE CONTACT FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 209.

STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE
YOU ALREADY HAVE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT TAILGATE FAILURE ON 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCKS. I HAVE READ ABOUT THEM AND SEEN THE PICTURES. I HAVE PERSONALLY CONTACTED TOYOTA MOTORS TO GET A SAFE WEIGHT MAXIMUM FOR THIS TAILGATE AND THEY HAVE TWICE REFUSED TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION. IN THEIR LATEST CORRESPONDENCE THEY CLAIM THE TAILGATE HAS NO RATING AS IT IS NOT A WEIGHT BEARING PART. THIS CONTRADICTS THEIR OWN WEBSITE WHERE THEY SELL A BED EXTENDER ACCESSORY THAT IS USED TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY BY USING THE TAILGATE AS A WEIGHT BEARING PART OF THE TRUCK. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE TO FORCE TOYOTA TO REVEAL THE SAFE TAILGATE WEIGHT LIMITS. *CN

SUSPENSION:REAR
WE RECENTLY BOUGHT AN 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA V6 4X2 DOUBLE CAB. I NOTICED A TERRIBLE BED BOUNCE THAT MAKES US THE PASSENGERS AND DRIVER DIZZY AND NAUSEATED. I PERSONALLY FEEL IT IS NOT A SAFE TRUCK BECAUSE THIS CAN CAUSE ROAD ACCIDENTS. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HAD THIS COMPLAINT BUT THEY SAY IT IS THE TRUCKS NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. I DON'T THINK OWNING AND DRIVING AN EXPENSIVE TRUCK JUST TO FEEL DIZZY AND NAUSEATED IS NORMAL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS. TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT THIS FOR SAFETY. IF I HAVE A PREGNANT WOMAN RIDING THIS CAR, SHE WILL PROBABLY HAVE AN ABORTION DUE TO THE BED BOUNCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
THERE IS A FLAWED DESIGN OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT BECAUSE MY WARRANTY WAS OUT, THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR WHICH ENDED UP COSTING ME $462.32. MY MILEAGE IS ONLY 14,500. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STOPPING DISTANCE EXTENDED WHEN HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY ADJUSTED THE BRAKES. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY ADJUSTED THE BRAKES AGAIN. AS OF DECEMBER 26, 2007, THE FAILURE HAD NOT RECURRED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE SLACK ADJUSTER CAUSED THE FAILURE, BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SLACK ADJUSTER WAS FINE. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000. UPDATED 01/17/08. *LJ

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA PULSATING UPON BRAKE APPLICATION SINCE ABOUT 12K MILES I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS TURNED, INSTALLED SLOTTED ROTORS BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. I AM AT THE END OF MY ROPE. THESE BRAKES SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY THAT THEY ARE STARTING TO SCARE ME TO EVEN USE THE TRUCK. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
THE BRAKES ON MY 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE-CAB DO NOT WORK PROPERLY (AND NEVER HAVE). WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES MAKE A LOUD NOISE (NOT THE TYPICAL ANTI-LOCK BRAKE NOISE) AND DO NOT STOP EFFECTIVELY. I'VE ALMOST RAN INTO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK IT TO STEVINSON TOYOTA, BUT THEY SAID THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THEY WEREN'T. I TOOK IT PEP BOYS AND THEY REPLACED THE PADS & TURNED THE ROTORS. IT IS BETTER, BUT STILL BAD. I THINK I'LL GET RID OF THE TRUCK. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT WITH THIS BRAKE SITUATION ON THE TRUCK MODEL. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR, SUSPENSION
2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB 4X2 5.7LTR V-8. VEHICLE HAS AN EXTREME AND DANGEROUS "BED BOUNCE" OR VIBRATION AT ALL REGULAR HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON CONCRETE TYPE FREEWAYS WITH EXPANSION JOINTS. THE VEHICLE BECOMES VERY UNSTABLE AND FEELS AS IF CONTROL WILL BE LOST. IT IS COMPLETELY UNBEARABLE. DEALER REPORTS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA OWNERS. ALL 2007 TUNDRA MODELS EXHIBIT THIS FAILURE AND IT STEMS FROM A DESIGN FLAW IN THE CHASSIS/SUSPENSION. EVENT BEGAN FROM THE DAY THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT (11/25/07) AND CONTINUES TO DATE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SERIOUS MATTER AND CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER FAILURE. LEVER FAILED AT THE BASE WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE. THIS IS A PIECE OF CAST ALUMINUM BEING USED IN A HIGH USE SAFETY ROLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IN MY OPINION. I SEE AT LEAST ONE OTHER COMPLAINT FILED ON THE SAME MATTER. MY DEALER IS STILL DIAGNOSING THE ISSUE. *TR

EVERYTHING IS PLASTIC AND CHEAPLY MADE, I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIR, FEARED THAT IN AN EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT I WOULD BE BE ABLE TO EXIT MY VEHICLE UNLESS I ROLLED WINDOW DOWN AND OPENED DOOR FROM OUTSIDE HANDLE. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
MY HUSBAND FIRST NOTICED A VIBRATION AND SAID THAT THE STEERING FELT ODD IN OUR 2001 TUNDRA. HE WAS THEN SUDDENLY SURPRISED WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL DETACHED AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT END SLAMMED TO THE GROUND. HE WAS LUCKY BECAUSE HE WAS DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED ON A SECONDARY ROAD AND NO COLLISION OR INJURIES OCCURRED. JUST MINUTES BEFORE HE WAS DRIVING ON A MAIN CONGESTED ROAD AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR COLLISION AND SUBSTANTIAL INJURIES. THE TUNDRA WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL TOYATO DEALER IN OUR TOWN OF BOONE, NC. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE LOWER AND UPPER BALL JOINTS SEPARATED. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING TOYOTA TO SEE WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PLACED AND IF THEY ARE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR US. IT SEEMS AS IF THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT RECALLED THESE TRUCKS WHEN PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT RISK. *TR

AIR BAGS
2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA LIMITED, I WAS HIT BACK RIGHT MIDDLE OF TIRE, CAVING IN TRUCK BED, LOSING COMPLETE CONTROL OF VEHICLE, AXLE AND TRANSMISSION DISMANTLED, WENT INTO A 360 SPIN WITH BACK TIRES COMPLETELY BENT AND NO CONTROL. THEN HIT HEAD ON AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED OVER 35-45 MPH. WITH AIR-BAGS NOT GOING OFF! TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT WITH HIDDEN COST NOT RELEASED TO ME. RESULTING IN TRUCK BEING REBUILT, WHEN IT SHOULD'VE BEEN TOTALED-OUT. STILL WAITING MAJOR BACK SURGERY AFTER 15 MONTHS, LOSS OF WORK. INSURANCE COMPANIES "HIDING" HIDDEN BILLS THAT WOULD MADE MY TRUCK OVER 80% TOTALED. I NEED ANSWERS AND HELP ON WHY MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY SAVING MY LIFE I ONCE HAD, AND BILLS THAT I DIDN'T HAVE! AND YET TOYOTA SIGNS OFF ON MY CAR SAYING IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAYS. AND NOW FRONT-END BEARINGS ARE THE #2 RECALL FOR THE TRUCK RESULTING IN MORE DAMAGE AND COST AND SAFETY TO MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP, IF ANYONE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH AIR-BAG DEPLOYMENT NOT GOING OFF ON THIS STATE OF THE ART TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
I HAVE HAD ONE OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACED WITHIN THE PAST YEAR AT AN EXPENSE OF OVER $400. I NOW HAVE ANOTHER OXYGEN SENSOR FAILURE AND NOTE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME MANUFACTURER DEFECT. MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 52,000 MILES BUT IT IS BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD GRANTED BY TOYOTA. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL ALL 2000 TUNDRAS AND FIX THEM RATHER THAN EXTEND A WARRANTY. *TR
