TIRES
TOYOTA RECOMMENDED AN INCORRECT TIRE PRESSURE. IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT MICHELIN RECOMENDED. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE TIRE MANUFACTURER, AND COULD CAUSE TIRE FAILURE. *AK THE VEHICLE HAD VIBRATION PROBLEM AND TOYOTA SAYS TO RUN THE TIRES AT 26 PST TO KEEP THE FRONT END FROM VIBRATING. TOYOTA WAS UNABLE TO FIX IT. *YH

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CONSTANT BINDING OF THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, VEHICLE WILL JERK FORWARD AS THOUGH IT HAS BEN HIT IN THE REAR-END. THIS WILL ALSO HAPPEN AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND AFTER BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED, VEHICLE WILL JERK. AT TIMES, AND AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES, VEHICLE WILL JERK FORWARD AS THOUGH IT HAS BEEN HIT IN THE REAR-END. VEHICLE FEELS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS BINDING WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. ONCE BRAKES ARE RELEASED, BINDING IS RELEASED, AND JERKING BEGINS. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN A FEW WEKS OF PURCHASE TO HAVE PROBLEM CORRECTED, ONLY TO BE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE WAS NO FIX. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET, AND HAVE READ VARIOUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER TOYOTA TUNDRA OWNERS EXPERINCING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT TOYOTA FAILS TO RECONIZE THE PROBLEM.

TIRES, STRUCTURE
WE BOUGHT A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA, 4X4, EXTRA CAB. AT 800 KLMS WE NOTICED THERE WAS NO PAINT LEFT ON THE FRONT BOTTOM CORNERS OF THE BOX. AT 5800 KLMS THERE IS NO PAINT LEFT ON THE WHOLE UNDERCARAGE OF THE TRUCK, LARGE CHUNKS OF METAL GONE FROM THE ROCKERPANELS, ROCK CHIPS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE ROOF. THIS TRUCK HAS FACTORY TIRES, MUDFLAPS, AND FENDER FLARES AND STILL THROWS ROCKS SO EXTENSIVELY TO THE REAR, CENTRE AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE YOU ACTUALLY DRIVE RIGHT INTO THEM THEREFORE DAMAGEING THE WINDSHIELD AS WELL. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR ANY MORTORIST BEHIND IT. WE ARE CURRENTLY HEADING INTO A DISPUTE WITH TOYOTA CANADA VIA CANVAP AS TOYOTA CANADA'S POSITION ON THIS MATTER IS THAT NOTHING IS COVERED UNDER WARRENTY AS IT IS "OWNER ABUSE" DUE TO DRIVING ON ABNORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS!! WE DRIVE 2 KLMS A DAY ON A GOVERNMENT MAINTAINED GRAVEL ROAD, AND 60 KLMS A DAY ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. WE HAVE SEEN TWO OTHER TUNDRA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM SO FAR AND ARE LOOKING FOR ANY OTHER TUNDRA OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. OUR TRUCK LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN SANDBLASTED. WE HAVE REPORTS FROM INDEPENDENT BODY SPECIALIST WHO CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS TRUCK IS DOING. *AK
