• 12/31/2021· UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  Suddenly, I discovered that my fuel tank showing as if it's about to drop on the ground. As I inspected, the fuel tank rear strap broke off the frame due to corrosion. the strap itself was not the issue, part of the corroded frame was still attached to the strap. When I took the truck to my local Mechanic, further inspection showed worse signs of corrosion in the entire frame and in every part connected to the frame as well; suspension parts, brake parts, emergency brake parts, spare tire hinge; etc. Against my disagreement with Toyota dealership, I had the truck painted by Toyota as they recommended during the frame recall in February of 2018. I wanted to replace the frame, based on other professionals advice, but Toyota Dealership insisted that my truck frame is in good shape it ONLY needs the paint recommended by Toyota. I come to find out that they have not remove nor clean any rust and they painted on top of it. Additionally, They never painted the cross members above the tank Now, when I looked under the truck, the paint has coming off in greater areas of the frame showing heavy rust under it. Which means the paint job was a joke, and worthless. Now, after seeing this, I am wondering how can I possibly drive this truck. The tank can drop any time or the spare tire latch can break off, causing a disaster on a highways where I drive. My emergency brake not even adjustable any more due to the heavy rust caused by the frame. Toyota failed to engineer the frame, and later on, failed again to correct their own mistake. contacted the dealer and waited for a month, no response. I called Toyota headquarter and filed a complaint. They respond is that because the recall program has expired there is no further assistance from Toyota. My question to Toyota is, are they going to wait to hear a disaster on one of the highways caused by their faulty equipment and workmanship, or will they take action before it happen. Attached are some pictures.

  What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Gas tank cover plate is rusting out causing the tank to almost fall out. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and others safety was put at risk as if the tank were to fall out, it could catch the vehicle on fire. Also as the plate rusts even more day by day, the heat from the exhaust and other parts that heat up it can damage the gas tank and once again is a fire hazard. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, there are no open recalls from what I can’t tell by the vin but same year has same problems and are under recall. Not sure why this one isn’t under recall. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, there would be no lights for an issue like this.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel tank crossmember was corroded and the sub frame was severely corroded on both the driver’s and passenger’s side. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under an unknown frame corrosion recall because the recall had already expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.

• 12/28/2016· STRUCTURE

  I HAD MY 2007 57,800 MILE TUNDRA INSPECTED AT MY TOYOTA DEALER WHEN I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRAME/UNDER VEHICLE IS "VERY RUSTY". UPON INSPECTION BY MYSELF THE ENTIRE FRAME IS RUSTING AND FLAKING OFF. THE SERVICE TECH PLAYED STUPID AND REFERRED ME TO CORPORATE(800-331-4331). SHE ALSO SAID IT PASSED INSPECTION AND THERE ARE NO HOLES IN THE FRAME. I GUESS THAT MAKES IT ALL OK. CORPORATE INFORMED ME THAT MY TRUCK HAS NO "WARRANTY SERVICE ENHANCEMENTS" AT THIS TIME. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT CAN OFFER ME NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE, AT THIS TIME. I SHOULD NOT HAVE SEVERE RUST ISSUES WITH A GARAGE KEPT 2007 TUNDRA(OR ANY VEHICLE) AT 57,800 MILES THAT I PURCHASED NEW. I SUSPECT THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE SAFETY ISSUES WITHIN THE NEXT 2 YEARS DUE TO THE SEVERE RUSTING OF THE FRAME.

  I TOOK MY TUNDRA INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT, FOR THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR RECALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD BEEN COMING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THAT MEANS THE AIRBAG IS INOPERABLE. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK AND TELL ME WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THEY RAN A CHECK,(CODE B1801) AND SAID TO RULE OUT SOME OTHER PROBLEM THEY WOULD FIRST HAVE TO CHANGE OUT THE SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, AT MY COST. APPARENTLY THAT FIXED THE ISSUE. IT SEEMS ODD TO ME THAT WITH 8 MILLION SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY'S UNDER RECALL, THAT THAT WOULD BE THE ISSUE HERE, AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THE TOTAL COST WAS $507.13, TO ME. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE GAVE ME THIS WEBSITE ADDRESS TO REPORT THE ISSUE, SINCE THEY ARE UNWILLING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY HERE. THEY SAID "THEY CAN'T PREDICT WHAT WILL GO WRONG WITH A VEHICLE". *TR

• 12/23/2009· POWER TRAIN,TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

  I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA - 4X4. SEVERAL TIMES I NOTICED THAT IT HAD MOVED FROM WHERE I PARKED IT. IT HAD MOVED FROM THE SPOT THAT I HAD PLACED IT AND ROLLED BACKWARDS, DOWN A FAIRLY STEEP GRADE, A DISTANCE OF AROUND 20 FEET. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO REPLICATE THE INCIDENT AND DISCOVERED THE FOLLOWING: WHEN PARKED ON A HILL WITHOUT THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT "LOCK" IN PARK WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THIS CONDITION CAN BE REPLICATED ONLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO PARK IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING THE ANTI SKID (TRACTION CONTROL) RESPOND TO A SLIPPERY CONDITION. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE TRUCK IS PLACED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE PROBLEM ALSO DOES NOT OCCUR IF THE AUTOMATED ANTI SKID RESPONSE DOES NOT ACTIVATE ITSELF. THE ROLLING DOES NOT ALWAYS BEGIN IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE NOT YET TRIED TO GET THE SAME RESPONSES WHILE BACKING THE TRUCK UP THE HILL IN REVERSE. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IN WARREN, OHIO ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2009. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ANYONE WHO MAY FIND THEMSELVES BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN IT BEGINS TO ROLL. *TR

• 12/21/2022· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I bought a 2007 Toyota Tundra less than 3 months ago from Toyota of Simi Valley. 2 months ago my check engine light and other warning lights suddenly went on while I was driving and my truck went into “limp mode” while merging onto a freeway, causing other drivers to swerve around me to avoid a collision. I took the truck back to Toyota and they advised the Air injection pump and air control valve need to be replaced. Total cost to repair is almost $4,000. I purchased at Bronze level extended warranty which covers up to 24,000 miles but the insurance carrier denied the claim saying these items are excluded, despite these items not being listed on their “excluded items list”. Toyota then offered to pay 1/2 the total cost of repairs, which in of itself is an admission of guilt. I’ve only made 2 payments on the vehicle, I should not be responsible for these repairs. I took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who advised Toyota’s assessment is correct, however, it should only cost $2k to fix the vehicle, not $4k. The mechanic also advised of an emission system issue and that this vehicle will not pass smog at this time.

IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THESE ISSUES AND RECALLED THE VEHICLE FOR A FIX. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE TUNDRA AND CONTINUED DRIVING MY OTHER CAR. *TR

  TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 45-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BOUNCES ON BUMPY PAVEMENT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO CARRY HEAVY LOADS AND, UNLESS THE VEHICLE HAS A HEAVY LOAD, IT WILL BOUNCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,114.

  "BED BOUNCE". THE COMPLAINT IS THAT AT SPEED OF 50-65 & 70 MPH, THE 2007 TUNDRA PICK-UP VIBRATES AND BOUNCES TO THE POINT OF UNCOMFORTABLE AND WHAT I FEEL IS UNSAFE. SAFETY ISSUE WITH INFANT, SINCE CAN AND WILL SHAKE INFANT. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BY SOMEONE ASAP. TOYOTA CLAIMS TO BE WORKING ON IT, BUT WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE FOR A FIX, LEMON LAW OR CLASS-ACTION SUIT OR EVEN SOMEONE GETTING HURT. *TR

  THE FRAME AND TRUCK BED HAVE SEVERE RUST ISSUES. THE TRUCK BED IS SHACKING NOW WHEN DRIVING. THE FRAME WAS "SPRAYED" WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON WINCHESTER ROAD THEY HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF RUST ON THE FRAME AND ON THE TRUCK BED AND ADVICE ME TO RID OF THE CAR BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EVEN TRADE FOR ANOTHER CAR. I HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED BY MY MECHANIC BEFORE I BOUGHT AND THE CAR SEEMS TO BE OK. LATE ON ANOTHER MECHANIC POINTED OUT SEVERE. TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS INSPECT THE TRUCK AND SAID THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW MYSEFL HOW TO GET A NEW FRAME AND A NEW TRUCK BED BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO CONTACT. MY MECHANIC ADVICE ME TO CONTACT NHTSA.
