VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAD THE PEDAL ACCELERATE AS I WAS BACKING UP AT MY LOCAL GROCERY STORE. I HAD BEEN COMPLAINING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT INFORMING ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT WASN'T UNTIL THIS HAPPENED THAT THEY SENT A TECH OUT TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE TECH. I FEEL LIKE I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM TOYOTA. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR I COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE. I CONTINUE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATOR AND NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? DO I STOP DRIVING MY ONLY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE? *TR

TOYOTA TUNDRA 2007 W/ 4WD. VEHICLE WENT FROM NORMAL 2 WHEEL DRIVE INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW WITHOUT WARNING, WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY CONTROLS. COULD NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 30 MPH, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED INTO DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPONENT IN THE ENGINE THAT FAILED. THE WARRANTY INSPECTOR CAME BY TODAY AND THE HISTORY DATA ON THE MEMORY HAD BEEN ERASED AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE. VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE SHOP. DEALER STATES IT IS DEFECTIVE BUT THE WARRANTY DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER STATED AIR PUMP IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILED. THE CONSUMER BELIEVE THE PROBLEM MAY BE THE ECU.

MY FATHERS 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA GETTING CHECKED OUT RECENTLY BY A LOCAL MECHANIC WHEN HE WAS MADE AWARE THAT THE FRAME IS EXCESSIVELY RUSTY. WITH THIS INFORMATION THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO A TOYOTA DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER STATED THERE IS SO MUCH RUST THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DEALER ALSO STATED THERE IS NOTHING TOYOTA WILL DO ABOUT IT UNTIL THE RUST ACTUALLY CREATES A HOLE IN THE FRAME. MY PARENTS ARE IN THERE SEVENTIES ON FIXED INCOMES, THEY DON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO OPERATE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. IF A DEALER IS ABLE TO STATE A VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE TOYOTA SHOULD BACK THE DETERMINATION OF THE DEALER AND DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. MY PARENTS WERE TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK AFTER A HOLE RUST THROUGH THE FRAME AND THEN TOYOTA WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. A 2003 TRUCK SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED TO THE POINT OF BEING UNSAFE IN A 7 YEAR PERIOD. PLEASE HELP MY PARENTS. *TR

THE UNDER SIDE OF MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS SO BADLY RUSTED THAT I HAD TO HAVE THE SPARE TIRE REMOVED AND MY BRAKE LINES AND ALL OF MY FRAME ARE RUSTED. THE RUST CONTINUES TO FLAKE AND FALL FROM THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW CROSS MEMBER PART TO REPLACE WHAT IS THERE HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT HEARD FROM TOYOTA. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. THERE IS WAY MORE RUST THAN JUST TO THE CROSS MEMBER FRAME. THE ENTIRE FRAME IS BADLY RUSTED AND HAS GONE INTO THE BRAKE LINES! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE MADE A REPORT ON THIS BEFORE BUT IT OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY 4/8/2010. I HAVE A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2010 WHICH ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WHEN I START IT, UP TO 4500-5000 RPM'S . IT WILL REV UP 3-4 TIMES AND THEN BOG DOWN AND DIE, I THEN START IT UP AGAIN AND IT IS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. IT HAS NEVER OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING ALWAYS IN PARK WHEN I FIRST START IT UP. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 2 TIMES EACH TIME FOR A WEEK AND THEY SAY THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THERE IS NO WAY FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF THERE IS ONE. AM I A LIAR LIKE EVERYONE WHO OWNS A TOYOTA? *TR

STRUCTURE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT IS LEAKING GAS. INITIALLY I NOTICED A FUEL SMELL WHEN I WALKED BY THE TRUCK WHICH PROGRESSED TO SEEING FUEL ON THE GROUND. IF I PUT TOO MUCH GAS IN THE TRUCK, OVER 1/2 TANK, YOU CAN SEE THE FUEL LEAKING THROUGH THE 4X4 FUEL TANK PROTECTIVE COVER. I HAD THE TRUCK PUT ON A LIFT AND WAS TOLD THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE SEAM OF THE TANK. I RECENTLY TOOK MY TRUCK TO TOYOTA IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL RE:EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST AND MY TRUCK PASSED THAT INSPECTION. I HAVE LESS THAN 51,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE LIVED IN MA FOR 22 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A FUEL TANK PROBLEM. ON 04/06/10 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A REQUIRED YEARLY INSPECTION. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE GARAGE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE HAD FAILED THE EMISSIONS TEST. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING OTHER OWNERS REPORTS ONLINE AND HAVE NOTICED THAT MORE PEOPLE ARE REPORTING LEAKING FUEL TANKS. EXTENSIVE RESEARCH INDICATES THAT AFTERMARKET GAS TANKS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS MODEL/YEAR SO I MUST HAVE TOYOTA EITHER DO THE WORK, OR MINIMALLY, GET THE PART FROM THEM. BASED ON THEIR RECENT REPUTATION, I AM NOT THRILLED ABOUT TAKING MY TRUCK BACK TO THEM. I HAVE 60 DAYS FROM THE FAILURE DATE TO GET IT REPAIRED AND REINSPECTED TO AVOID LOSING MY REGISTRATION! I NEED THIS TRUCK TO BE SAFE FOR ME AND ALL THE OTHER DRIVERS THAT I ENCOUNTER. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY CONCERN? *TR

I LEARNED ON THE TOYOTA WEBSITE THAT MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA WAS RECALLED TO CHECK FOR SEVERE CORROSION OF THE REAR CROSS MEMBER. MY TRUCK FAILED THE TEST AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR BUT HAS NO PLAN FOR REPAIRING THE TUNDRAS OR FOR COMPENSATING THE OWNERS. I WAS TOLD THE DEALER WOULD HOLD THE TUNDRA UNTIL TOYOTA PROVIDES AN ANSWER. *TR
