SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER; A SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THE REAR DRUMS WERE PROBABLY OUT-OF-ROUND. DRUMS WERE RESURFACED AND BRAKES WERE GOOD - FOR ABOUT TWO MORE MONTHS. PROBLEM RECURRED - TAKEN BACK TO DEALER. SHOES REPLACED. BRAKES GOOD FOR 2 MORE MONTHS. PROBLEM RECURRED - DEALER WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY. TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP WHERE DRUMS AND ROTORS WERE MACHINED. BRAKES WERE GOOD FOR ABOUT TWO MORE MONTHS. TRUCK AGAIN SHAKES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING. *JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
DRIVING WB ON HWY 4 NEAR DOUGLAS FLAT, CA APPROX 55 MPH ON TWO LANE HIGHWAY. THE 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4WD DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL DETACHED, FOLDING UNDER FRONT LEFT SIDE FRAME BEHIND WHEEL WELL WITH THE TRUCK LANDING ON THE FLAT SIDE OF THE WHEEL. I WAS THEN IN A CONTROLLED SKID ON A STRAIGHT PART OF THE HIGHWAY AND HELD THE STEERING WHEEL IN THAT POSITION. I DID NOT APPLY THE BRAKES AS I DID NOT WANT TO ALTER THE DIRECTION OF THE SKID. THE VEHICLE DRIFTED SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT AFTER ABOUT A 150 FOOT SKID. THE WHEEL HUB HAD SEPARATED FROM THE UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM, THE BALL JOINT HAD DETACHED FROM THE A-FRAME, AND THE WHEEL AND TIRE (REPLACED TWO WEEKS PRIOR) WERE DAMAGED. THE ONLY THING APPARENTLY HOLDING THE WHEEL TO THE FRAME WAS THE STEERING ROD. NOT BEING A MECHANIC OR HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AS YET I AM NOT SURE OF ALL DAMAGE SUSTAINED. PICTURES OF THE SCENE SHOW A SINGLE SKID MARK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I CONTACTED MY TOYOTA DEALER WHO DIDN'T SEEM TO INTERESTED SINCE THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH 72,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK MEANING THAT THE 36 MONTH, 36,000 MILE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE DAMAGE. IN RESEARCHING THE BALL JOINT COMPLAINT I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2004 TUNDRA. IT WAS LUCKY THAT I WASN'T INJURED SINCE THE PREVIOUS DAY I HAD BEEN RETURNING FROM A JOB SITE VIA NB PARROTTS FERRY ROAD WHICH IS ABOUT A 1000 FT DESCENT ON A CURVING ROAD WHICH IN SEVERAL PLACES DROPS OFF INTO THE CANYON AND RESERVOIR BELOW. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I BOUGHT A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN JULY OF 2004. THE TRUCK HAD 64,000 MILES. I HAVE REPLACE MY BRAKES AND HAD MY ROTORS TURNED MANY TIME. THE TRUCK CONTINUALLY WARPS THE ROTORS AND HAS SEVERE SHAKING WHEN I BRAKE. TOYOTA SENT OUT A TSB ONLY TO COVER THE WARRANTY VEHICLES. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO FIX THEM. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ONLY FIX IS TO INSTALL OVERSIZED ROTORS AND CALIPERS AND NEW BRAKE LINES AT THE COST OF $2,000.00 PLUS. TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE HELP! *NM

EXHAUST MANIFOLD ARE CRACKED. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOW ISSUE WITH THESE MANIFOLDS AND TOYOTA HAS NOT STEPPED UP AND TAKEN OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM. EXHAUST GASES LEAK INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHICH COULD ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND CREATE A SERIOUS RISK TO HEALTH. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
TOYOTA TUNDRA 2001 BRAKE DAMAGE CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE DESIGN. BRAKES FAIL PREMATURELY DUE TO INADEQUATE BRAKE DESIGN. ONLY A FEW HARD BRAKE INCIDENTS CAUSE FRONT DISC ROTOR WARPAGE. TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE AND INSTEAD BLAMES CUSTOMER. EVEN IF CUSTOMER FOLLOWS TOYOTA RECOMMENDED DRIVING PRACTICES ("BRAKE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE") FAILURE STILL OCCURS DUE TO IMPOSSIBILITY OF FOLLOWING THESE DIRECTIONS. PLEASE FORCE TOYOTA TO REPLACE ALL TUNDRA 2001 BRAKE SYSTEMS WITH REDESIGNED SYSTEM TO PREVENT FAILURE. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH ON NORMAL CONDITIONS AND THAN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE SHIMMIES AND BOUNCES IN AN UP AND DOWN MOTION UNTIL THE BRAKES ARE RELEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHEN PROBLEMS FIRST OCCURRED WHERE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER PROBLEM HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED OVER TIME. THE MANUFACTURER DETERMINED THERE WAS A RECALL PERTAINING TO THE CHARACTERISTICS ON THE VEHICLE HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA EXTENDED CAB I CHECKED MY FRONT BRAKE PADS. WHEN I REPLACED THE TIRE, TWO LUG BOLTS FAILED AT 70FT/LBS OF TORQUE. THE SPECIFICATIONS ARE TIGHTEN TO 80FT/LBS. WHEN I PURCHASED NEW BOLTS AT A DEALER, THE PARTS COUNTERMAN SAID HE WAS SELLING A LOT OF THESE LATELY. *JB

AIR BAGS:ON-OFF SWITCH ASSEMBLY
MY COMPLAINT IS AGAINST THE RULING. "THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION HAS RULED THAT TOYOTA MUST RECALL NEARLY 160,000 TUNDRA PICKUPS BUILT BETWEEN 2003 AND 2005 IN ORDER TO DEACTIVATE THE FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER AIR BAG CUT-OFF SWITCH IN EACH TRUCK. THE TUNDRA'S FAIL TO MEET ANY NHTSA REGULATIONS THAT REQUIRE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAG CUT-OFF SWITCHES TO ALSO HAVE LATCH (LOWER ANCHORAGES AND TETHERS FOR CHILDREN) SYSTEMS. DEACTIVATING THE CUT-OFF SWITCHES WAS DEEMED LESS EXPENSIVE THAN RETROFITTING THE TUNDRA'S WITH THE LATCH SYSTEM." GREAT RULING, HOW DOES THIS PROTECT MY 6 YEAR OLD SITTING IN THE FRONT, IN A BOOSTER SEAT USING THE SEAT BELT. BOOSTER SEATS DON'T REQUIRE A LATCH SYSTEM BUT HIS WEIGHT IS BELOW WHAT IS CONSIDERED SAFE FOR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. MY SCENARIO IS EXACTLY WHAT THE CUTOFF SWITCH WAS INTENDED FOR, MY 6 YEAR OLD OCCASIONALLY RIDING IN THE FRONT WITH ME. THIS RULING HAS CAUSED TOYOTA TO FACTORY DISABLE THE FRONT SWITCH IN MY '06 DOUBLE CAB TUNDRA, MAKING THE FRONT SEAT VERY UNSAFE FOR A CHILD IN A BOOSTER SEAT. WAY TO GO, THANKS FOR THINKING OF EVERYTHING. *JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
WE RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR RECALL FOR ALL TOYOTA TUNDRAS BETWEEN THE YEAR 2002 TO 2004 BECAUSE OF FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINT (SSC50J). BECAUSE OF THE RECALL, WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND WENT TO THE SERVICE LOCATION GIVEN IN THE NOTICE. THE APPOINTMENTS FOR BOTH WERE MADE AND USING OUR VIN NUMBER TOLD US THAT BOTH OUR TRUCKS DON'T NEED SERVICING AND SO DISMISSED BOTH, IN FLORIDA AND NEW YORK. ON FRIDAY, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK IN NEW YORK AND WAS ABOUT TO ENTER A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN THE TIRE FELL OUT. WE ARE INCLINED TO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS THE RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE PART PUT IN BY THE MANUFACTURER. BECAUSE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, HE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STEER AWAY FROM A MAJOR COLLISION. BASICALLY WE WERE VERY LUCKY THIS TIME. IMAGINE IF IT WERE SOMEONE, MYSELF INCLUDED, WITH LESS EXPERIENCE WHO HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING, OR IF MY HUSBAND HAD ALREADY ENTERED THE HIGHWAY. ANYWAY WE TOWED THE TRUCK TO OUR PERSONAL SERVICE MECHANIC, WHO CHARGED US $70 FOR THE TOW. THE MECHANIC TOLD US THE FRONT BALL JOINT CAME OUT AND SO THE TIRE CAME OFF. THE TIRE WING AND THE LINE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO THE INCIDENT. FORTUNATELY, THAT WAS ALL. THE NOTICE GAVE A PHONE NUMBER, 888.270.9371, WHICH WE CALLED. WHEN WE GAVE THEM OUR VIN NUMBER, THEY TOLD US THAT OUR TRUCKS WERE NOT INCLUDED FOR SERVICE PER THE RECALL, SO THEY WILL NOT SERVICE OUR TRUCKS. SO FAR, OUR TRUCK IN FLORIDA DID NOT HAVE THE SAME ACCIDENT, BUT I AM VERY UNEASY, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I AM THE ONE THAT USES THE TRUCK IN FLORIDA AND SINCE WE PURCHASED THE TWO TRUCKS AT THE SAME TIME. AS OF NOW, THE DAMAGED TRUCK IS BEING HELD AT THE MECHANIC'S UNTIL WE CAN HAVE OUR TRUCKS SERVICED. OTHERWISE, WE WILL HAVE TO PAY OVER $1000/ PER TRUCK TO FIX THE PROBLEM, IN WHICH CASE WE FEEL IT IS ONLY RIGHT TO BE FULLY REIMBURSED FOR THOSE SERVICES. *NM

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
THE BOLTS ON MY TUDNRA'S LEFT BALL JOINT SHEARED OFF AND THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL COLLAPSED ON JUNE 12, 2006. THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN PAGE, ARIZONA WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER OUR DEALER FIXED THE JOINTS ON APRIL 17, 2006 PURSUANT TO TOYOTA'S RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. WE CONSIDER OURSELVES FORTUNATE TO BE ALIVE. I AM GIVING SIMILAR NOTICES TODAY TO DEALER AND TOYOTA. OUR TUNDRA IS CURRENTLY AT THE BODY SHOP IN PAGE, AZ. THERE WAS SOME BODY DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE. THE WORK WILL BE DONE BY THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 7. WE INTEND TO PICK UP THE CAR THEN. I HAVE THREE OF THE BOLTS THAT CAME OFF (TWO OF THEM THAT I PICKED UP ON THE STREET WERE SHEARED) AND HAVE ASKED THE REPAIR SHOP TO SAVE ALL PARTS THAT THEY REMOVED AND REPLACE. I ALSO HAVE PHOTOS OF THE TUNDRA AT ITS POINT OF REST IN THE STREET. BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC CONTROL PROBLEMS, THE PAGE POLICE RESPONDED TO THIS INCIDENT. THE OFFICER IN CHARGE WAS C. MILLER, BADGE 523. HE ALSO PROVIDED ME WITH A ANOTHER NUMBER (I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS AN INCIDENT NUMBER): 06/06/1420. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH DANGEROUS PULSATING, VIBRATING FRONT DISC BRAKES. I FIRST BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE ATTENTION OF MY DEALER ON JULY 31, 2002. THE VEHICLE HAD 12,894 MILES AT THE TIME. THE WARPED FRONT ROTORS WERE RESURFACED AND THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED. NEITHER THE FRONT ROTORS NOR THE CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED AT THE TIME THAT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT HAD BEEN MACHINED OFF THE ROTORS. THE PROBLEM QUICKLY REAPPEARED AND HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED OVER THE LAST 16,000 MILES. THE CAR IS DRIVEN VERY LIGHTLY AND HAS TOWED A HORSE TRAILER FOR APPROXIMATELY 200-300 MILES. TODAY THE TRUCK HAS 28, 600 MILES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON ANY ROAD, BUT PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS ON LONGER DOWNHILL GRADES. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP EARLY IN JUNE 2006 WHEN I HAD DEFECTIVE OXYGEN SENSORS REPLACED. THEY CHECKED FOR RECALL NOTICES AND FOUND NONE. CURIOUSLY, THEY DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2003. BASICALLY, THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE THEM REPAIRED. IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THIS PROBLEM RESULTS FROM DEFECTIVE FRONT BRAKES, AND THIS DEFECT EXISTED AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE LEFT TOYOTA'S POSSESSION, I ASKED TOYOTA TO PROPERLY REPAIR THE BRAKES BEFORE SERIOUS PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY OCCURS. TOYOTA RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST ON JUNE 15, 2006 AS FOLLOWS: "WE HAVE CHECKED YOUR VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN#) AND THERE ARE NO OUTSTANDING SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGNS ON YOUR VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THE WARRANTY FOR YOUR BRAKING SYSTEM (EXCLUDING WEAR ITEMS) IS 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST, FROM THE DATE OF FIRST USE FOR YOUR VEHICLE. BASED ON THE VIN (VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER) YOU PROVIDED. YOUR WARRANTY COVERAGE STARTED ON 3/15/2000. YOUR VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY OUTSIDE THESE WARRANTY PARAMETERS AND WE ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST WITH THE COST OF THIS REPAIR."

THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED WHO EXPLAINED THERE WAS NOT A RECALL.

MY ABS BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON UNDER CONDITIONS OF COLD (AROUND FREEZING) AND DAMP WEATHER. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP THE LIGHT GOES OFF, BUT THE ATS DOESN'T WORK UNTIL THAT HAPPENS. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIM NO ONE HAS FILED A COMPLAINT. THE TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS. *NM

LTR FROM (TX) REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH HIS 2006 TUNDRA MOTOR VEHICLE. *TS THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS A PROBLEM DOWN SHIFTING 2 GEARS ON MINOR GRADE FOR NO REASON, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV TO OVER 4000 RPMS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE BRAKE WILL FADE WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE STOPPING DISTANCE ON THE VEHICLE WAS MUCH LONGER THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE THE CONSUMER HAD DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS GETTING VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE. THERE WAS AN ODOR FROM THE AIR CONDITION. THE TIRE SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED, BUT IT WAS RESOLVED.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
I'M THE OWNER OF A 2003 TOYOTA TUNDRA (LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL) SR5 4X4. IN APR I BROUGHT MY TRUCK INTO THE UNIVERSAL TOYOTA DEALER HERE IN SAN ANTONIO TX TO REPLACE A MISSING CLAMP AND FOR A RUMBLING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. THE FIRST MECHANIC SAID HE COULDN'T HEAR THE NOISE, AND AGAIN I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK IN JUN AS THE NOISE WAS GETTING WORSE. THE LEAD MECHANIC THEN HEARD IT AND SAID THAT THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL AND THAT HE HAS ANOTHER TUNDRA DOING THE SAME THING. I ASKED THAT HE CALL THE TOYOTA TECH LINE TO INQUIRE/REPORT THIS. HE NOTIFIED ME THE NEXT DAY THAT THE TOYOTA TECH PERSON SAID THAT THIS IS A NORMAL SOUND AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. HOWEVER I DO HAVE SOME SAFETY CONCERNS AS I DON'T BELIEVE THIS TO BE A "NORMAL" INDICATION OF WHAT A DIFFERENTIAL SHOULD SOUND LIKE. *JB
