2006 Toyota Tundra complaints

MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA PICKUP TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED MAXIMUM ACCELERATION ON SEVEN (7) OCCASIONS WHEN I MADE HARD ACCELERATIONS IN ORDER TO PASS OTHER VEHICLES WHILE ALSO ENGAGING THE RESUME MODE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL. ON THE FIRST TWO (2) OCCASIONS I APPLIED THE BRAKES HEAVILY WITH NO RESULTS AND MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND I WAS FORCED TO KNOCK THE TRUCK OUT OF GEAR AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN A MAX RPMS AND I KEEP PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL UNTIL THE ENGINE FINALLY SLOWED. THE LAST TIME A SIMILAR EVENT OCCURRED I HAD A OPEN HIGHWAY AFTER PASSING A SLOWER VEHICLE SO I CUT THE IGNITION OFF AND MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, I TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND MY TRUCK WENT TO MAX ACCELERATION AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME I CUT THE IGNITION OFF I HEARD A THUMP IN THE FLOOR BOARD CLOSE THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED AND OPERATED NORMALLY WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON. I WAS TRAVELING ON A INTERSTATE THE FIRST TWO TIMES THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED AND JUST AVOIDED HITTING OTHER VEHICLES. ON THE LAST OCCASION I HAD TIME TO TRY A DIFFERENT SOLUTION. IN EACH EVENT THE BREAKS WERE NOT EFFECTIVE AT ALL. ON 12/2/10 MY TOYOTA DEALERS SERVICE DEPT. CHECKED MY TRUCK AFTER I MADE THE ABOVE COMPLAINT AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS. IN THE PAST I HAD RAISED THE ISSUE WITH THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPT AND REGIONAL TOYOTA REP. AND WAS TOLD BY BOTH THAT THE 06 TUNDRA DID NOT HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *TR UPDATED 01/17/12 UPDATED IVOQ 03/30/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION NOT TO SHIFT CORRECTLY. SHE DEPRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE TACHOMETER INCREASED TO 2 AND WOULD NOT DECLINE. IN ADDITION, WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND RELEASED THE BRAKES, THE REAR TIRES BEGAN TO SPIN AND SHE CRASHED REAR-END INTO A BOULDER. THE REAR BUMPER WAS DAMAGED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER STATED THEY WERE ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER NOT TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THREE TRANSMISSIONS SINCE PURCHASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000. UPDATED 11/9/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED THREE TIMES. SHE ALSO STATED THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST TAKE OFF AT A HIGH SPEED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS TAPPED LIGHTLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE ENGINE WOULD RACE EXTREMELY HIGH. THE HIGH IDLE WOULD ALSO EFFECT THE WAY THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO GEAR. UPDATED 11/12/10 THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS A GROMMET AND THE FLOOR BOARD HAS A GROMMET, BUT THERE IS NO HOOK TO HOLD THE FLOOR MAT IN PLACE. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES. UPDATED 11/1/610

WHEEL CORROSION ON MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4D V8. DEALER HAD THE WHEELS REPLACED ABOUT 2 YRS. AGO (STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THAT TIME). NOW HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OR BUBBLING/CORROSION UNDER THE SEALANT/PAINT WITH THE NEW WHEELS AND BEING TOLD, "SORRY, THEY'RE OUT OF WARRANTY". WOULD APPEAR TO BE AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING PROCESS DEFECT TO ME THAT WOULD LEAD TO EVENTUAL LACK OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. *TR

MY TRUCK HAS ALWAYS SMELLED LIKE ROTTEN EGGS AND I HAVE HAD THE INJECTORS CLEANED 4 TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED IT. THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL...PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING.PEOPLE SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES AND LAST THING WE ALL NEED IS TO FORK OUT MORE MONEY ON A VEHICLE THAT IS MORE LESS IN A NUT SHELL A LEMON. EVERYTIME I TURN AROUND IT'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I AM A ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECH AND MECHANIC OF 15 YEARS. I OWNED A AUTO REPAIR SHOP FOR 5 YEARS AND HAVE SINCE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA LEASE. MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA WOULD ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AT TIMES. TO STOP IT I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE KEY, PULL OVER AND THEN RESTART IT. BEING A MASTER TECHNICIAN I ASSURE YOU IT WAS ELECTRONIC IN NATURE. IN NO WAY WAS IT A FLOOR MAT OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK. I DID TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FOUND. IT DID HAPPEN IN THE SAME LOCATION 3 TIMES AND COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY EMI. AGAIN IT WAS ELECTRICAL IN NATURE, THERE IS NO DOUBT OF THIS. I DO NOT OWN IT ANY LONGER AND HOLD NO NEGATIVE FEELINGS TOWARDS TOYOTA. *TR

I HAD BORROWED MY IN-LAWS TOYOTA TUNDRA WHILE ON VACATION. I HAD PREVIOUSLY TRAVELED DOWN A STREET TO AN INTERSECTION TO GO TO A BANK WHILE MY WIFE WAS VISITING FRIEND WITH NO ISSUES. CAME BACK 1/2 HOUR LATER THROUGH SAME INTERSECTION, AND THE I HIT THE BRAKE TO STOP FOR THE STOP SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE KEPT PROPELLING FORWARD. WHILE I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKE, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE KEPT BEING PROPELLED INTO THE INTERSECTION, WHERE I RAN INTO AN ARMORED VAN. I WAS TICKETED FOR FAILURE TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. THERE WERE 3 PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE, MY WIFE, SON, AND MYSELF. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BE TRADED OFF FOR A NEW ONE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK. I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE THE ACCELERATOR HAS STUCK. BRAKING DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE ACCELERATION. I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND ALMOST WENT THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE TRUCK IS NOT CURRENTLY ON RECALL. *TR

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH WHEN TRUCK SUDDENLY LISTED HEAVILY TO THE LEFT, THE CONTROL ARM AND LOWER BALL JOINT HAD FAILED AND THE TIRE WAS ON THE GROUND, WHEN TOYOTA WAS CONTACTED THEY STATED THAT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT PARTICULAR RECALL DUE TO THE VIN NUMBER. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING AN INSPECTION BY OUR AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY BEFORE BEING REPAIRED AT A RATHER LARGE COST. THEY ALSO TRIED BLAMING THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE OUR TIRES AND ALSO THE COMPANY WHO DOES OUR OIL CHANGERS ETC. *TR

WHY HAVE MY ODI'S NOT BEEN ADDRESSED ? 10183308, 10288886, 10293097, 10293888, 10314732. I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT HAS PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE NOV. 2006. THAT IS WHEN I PURCHASED IT. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME I DIDN'T HAVE REPAIR ORDERS WRITTEN UP. I AM NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT'S FINE. BUT REGARDLESS I WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN OCT. 2009 DUE TO SUA. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALER AND MY INSURANCE CARRIER. THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT BY A FACTORY REP. IT WAS DECIDED BY TOYOTA THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA TO GET AN ESTIMATE ON REPAIRS. THAT WAS A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF JUST UNDER $2000.00. I WAS TOLD NOT TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE UNTIL I HEARD FROM TOYOTA. TO THIS DAY OF MARCH 5, 2010 THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE THE TRUCK FIXED BECAUSE I WAS HOPING TOYOTA WOULD, AS MR. BURTON FROM TEXAS TOLD JIM LENTZ, "IF YOU KNOW WHERE A VEHICLE IS THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED GO GET THAT VEHICLE, I DON'T CARE IF IT COST ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, GO GET THAT VEHICLE. I MUST SAY MR. LAHOOD YOU HAVE DONE THAT. THIS IS THE REASON MINE IS NOT REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN WRITING EMAILS TO ANYONE THAT CARED. THE TRUCK IS STILL HERE? I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH PEOPLE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT GETTING MY VEHICLE PURCHASED BACK AND THEN THEY CAN TEST IT. I'M REMINDED ALL THE TIME THAT MINE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I SAY SO WHAT! IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AND DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE RPMS INCREASED FOR A FEW SECONDS WITHOUT THE CONTACT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO GET IT INSPECTED BY A AUTHORIZED DEALER AND PAY THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE WARRANTY WAS NOT VALID. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THEY ONLY GO BACK AS FAR AS THE 2007 MODEL AND THAT THERE WERE NO KNOWN RECALLS ON THE 2006 MODELS. THE FAILURE WAS 10,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, SHE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITH AN EXTREME FORCE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FAILURE BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR AND THE COMPUTER AND TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER . THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO RESOLUTION WAS MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 66,000.

ODI NUMBERS, 10183308, 10288886, 10293097, 10293888. THESE ARE ODI'S THAT ARE IN REGARDS TO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SAID ALL ALONG THAT THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL. I STILL MAINTAIN THAT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SEEN BY THE FACTORY REP AND RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TMS SAYING THAT EVERYTHING IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THEY EVEN LOOKED AT MY THROTTLE LINKAGE. I DON'T HAVE LINKAGE. SO WHAT ELSE HAVE THEY LOOKED AT. IF IT WORKED AS DESIGNED, WHY DOES IT WORK DIFFERENTLY THAN IT DID WHEN NEW? I HAVE SUGGESTED MANY TIMES OVER THAT TMS TAKE MY TRUCK BACK AND USE IT AS A TEST VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED FOR THAT REASON. MY TRUCK HAS DONE ALL SORTS OF WEIRD THINGS. THAT IS WHY I FEEL THAT IT WOULD MAKE A FANTASTIC VEHICLE TO USE TO FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. NOW I HEAR THAT DURING THE HEARINGS THAT THE CONGRESSMAN FROM TEXAS TOLD THE CEO OF TMS TO GO GET THAT VEHICLE AND USE IT AS A TEST VEHICLE REGARDLESS IF THEY HAD TO PAY ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. THEY CERTAINLY WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ME THAT MUCH, JUST MAKE ME WHOLE. MY TRUCK IS A MOTHER LOAD OF INFORMATION. TMS IS REALLY DROPPING THE BALL ON THIS ONE. I WANT MY DEALER TO WORK WITH ME TO GET TMS TO DO AS THEY SAY THEY WILL DO. MY DEALER SAYS THAT THEIR HANDS ARE TIED. WELL TMS CALL JAPAN AND SEE IF MR. T WILL AGREE WITH ME. THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND I FEEL THAT ONCE THEY START TAKING IT APART THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE EXPOSED. THIS IS THE THIRD TOYOTA TRUCK THAT I HAVE HAD AND WOULD BE PLEASED TO HAVE ANOTH

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEGAN TO STICK WITH AN UNINTENDED INCREASE OF ACCELERATION. THERE WERE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RESUME TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED AT THAT TIME. THE FAILURE WAS A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

ONE OF MY CARGO LIGHTS IN THE REAR CENTER OF THE CAB BURNT OUT AND I WENT TO REPLACE IT. WHEN I TOOK THE COVER OFF I NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE PLASTIC ON THE LIGHT BULB THAT WAS BURNT OUT. SO I TOOK A CLOSER LOOK INSIDE AND I NOTICED ABOVE THE LIGHT BULB THAT THE PLASTIC HAD MELTED AND IT WAS THE SAME WAY OVER THE OTHER LIGHT BULB. NOW THERE IS A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC ABOVE EACH LIGHT BULB. SO AFTER I PUT THE COVER BACK ON I MADE THE LIGHTS COME ON BY OPENING THE TRUCK DOOR AND I FELT THE COVER AND IT WAS VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH. I AM THINKING THIS COULD POSSIBLE START A FIRE IF THE DOORS REMAIN OPEN TO LONG. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHENEVER THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWAY FROM THE LEFT AND RIGHT UNLESS THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT HAD THE RACK & PINION REPLACED 4 ADDITIONAL TIMES PRIOR TO THE RECENT FAILURE.

THE LAST TIME HE HIT A DEER AND DAMAGED HIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. HE HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. HE FINALLY CONTACTED THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT IS THE WAY THE BRAKES SHOULD BE OPERATING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA CRUISE CONTROL, WHEN IN USE AND HAS TO COMPENSATE FOR SPEED REDUCTION GOES INTO FULL THROTTLE, NO GRADUAL SPEED INCREASE, I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY HIT BRAKES AND OR TURN OFF CRUISE CONTROL. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN IN USE. *TR

THE DAY I DROVE MY 2006 TUNDRA OFF OF THE LOT I NOTICED THAT WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP (RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN FOR EXAMPLE) WITH MY FOOT COMPLETELY PRESSING ON THE BRAKE, THE RPM'S RISE OUT OF NO WHERE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE TRUCK LUNGES FORWARD WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE REPORTED TO THREE DEALERSHIPS, THOSE THAT I TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE TO, AND THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM. I FIRST COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS DURING THE FIRST WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT THE SERVICE CLERKS INCLUDE THIS IN THE NOTES, AND COMPLAINS SECTIONS WHEN I TAKE IN THE TRUCK. I REQUESTED THIS TO DOCUMENT MY TRUCK'S ACTIONS. *TR

IN DECEMBER 2009 WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA, MY WIFE AND I BEGAN TO FEEL A STRANGE MOTION COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK; WHENEVER WE CAME TO A FULL STOP, IT FELT AS IF WE SOMEONE HIT US IN THE REAR OF OUR VEHICLE. DECEMBER 18, 2009 I TOOK THE VEHICLE THE TOYOTA DEALER, I WAS TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SOME TOYOTA VEHICLES AND THEY ADJUSTED CENTER SUPPORT BEARING, REPLACED TRANS MOUNT AND CROSS MEMBER. AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE ON JANUARY 8, 2010 THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED, I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON JANUARY 12, 2010 FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER CONTACTED TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND ON FEBRUARY 1, 2010, AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE TO MY VEHICLE; THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO SOME VEHICLES. THE IS YET TO BE CORRECTED. *TR

MY HUSBAND HAD A CRASH ON 06/26/2009 ON HIS TOYOTA TUNDRA 2006 IN CONCORD, CALIFORNIA (HIGHWAY 242). HE SAID HE WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE TRAFFIC STOPPED SUDDENLY. HE PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE TRUCK KEPT RUNNING AT THE SPEED THAT IT WAS WITHOUT STOPPING. HE CRASHED 3 CARS, AND THE TOYOTA TUNDRA 2006 WAS A TOTAL LOST. THANK GOD NOBODY WAS HURT IN THAT ACCIDENT. BUT IT TOOK US SO LONG FOR THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO REIMBURSED US THE COST OF THE TRUCK. ALSO, I THINK IT WASN'T FAIR, BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION, HE WAS TAKING CARE OF THAT TRUCK LIKE IT WAS HIS BABY. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA LIMITED 4WD AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME TYPE OF BRAKING PROBLEMS THAT ARE BEING DESCRIBED WITH THE PRIUS. IN ICY AND SLICK CONDITIONS MY BRAKES ALL BUT QUIT WORKING. MY TOYOTA IS GREAT, BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS. *JB

VEHICLE ACCELERATION - HAVE A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2006 AND IT HAD ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I PRESSED BOTH FEET DOWN ON THE BRAKES AND TURNED THE VEHICLE WHICH MADE ME GO UP ON A SIDEWALK. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HIT A WALL BUT IT DID NOT. I THEN CAME HOME AND CALLED THE PLACE THAT WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN FOR ANOTHER RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT. UPON PICKING UP THE TRUCK WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE ACCELERATION. I NOW SEE THAT TOYOTA IS HAVING SUCH A PROBLEM SO I WANTED TO REPORT THIS. I AM JUST SO HAPPY THAT I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND I AM NOW SO WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THIS TRUCK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT RESISTANCE AND PRESSURE WAS APPLIED, FOLLOWED BY AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA, V8 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THE IDLE GOES TO A HIGH RATE OF RPM. IF YOU PLACE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, IT WILL LURCH FORWARD IF THE BRAKES ARE NOT FIRMLY PRESSED. THE RPM IS HIGHER IN THE WINTER. THE DEALER STATES, THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND A PART OF THE COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM. I CONSIDER THIS A POTENTIAL HAZARD. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN EVIDENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE NEW VEHICLE IN 2006. *TR

I PURCHASED AN 06 TUNDRA IN APRIL OF 09. I HAVE NOTICED FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE WILL SURGE AND IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE BRAKE HARD THE TRUCK WILL JOLT FORWARD QUICKLY. IS THIS PART OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS RECALLING SO MANY VEHICLES? *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS TO INCLUDE ODI #'S 10183308,10288886, AND 10293097. THE ODI #'S ARE ALL FOR THE SAME VEHICLE BUT ARE FOR DIFFERENT DATES IN WHICH THIS VEHICLE HAD SOMETHING TO REPORT THAT WAS DIFFERENT BUT WERE ASSOCIATED. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED ON NOV. 27TH 2009. I WAS PARKED ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT OF MY GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE APPLIED. FORTUNATELY I WAS SITTING BEHIND THE WHEEL AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE IGNITION OFF. I DO NOT KNOW THE RPM'S. MY WIFE WAS GETTING INTO THE TRUCK ON THE PASSENGERS FRONT. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE RACED AS IT WOULD HAVE AS DESCRIBED AS "UNINTENTIONAL SUDDEN ACCELERATION". THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE TRUCK DID THIS EXCEPT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK. BEING OUT IN THE DESERT AND THIS HAPPENING AND BEING IN THE GARAGE IN PARK SENDS OUT TO ME A MESSAGE THAT THIS TRUCK HAS A GLITCH IN IT THAT NOW HAS HAPPENED TWICE. IF I WAS NOT IN THE TRUCK, GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE REPORTED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION TO TOYOTA ALREADY. TOYOTA HAS LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AT MY DEALERS AND HAS SENT THE INFORMATION TO THEIR LEGAL DEPT. TO DECIDE WHAT THEY WILL DO. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THE LATEST INCIDENT. THE TOYOTA PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO CALL ME MONDAY THE 30TH. I SHALL TELL THEM ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AT THAT TIME. I HAVE ALREADY TOLD THEM THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE IMPOUNDED THE VEHICLE BUT INSTEAD THEY LET ME DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. HE SLIGHTLY TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THEN THE VEHICLES SPEED INCREASED AND CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES. AN AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, HE DID NOT PROVIDE A REMEDY BECAUSE HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. HE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER, IN WHICH A TECHNICIAN SPECIALIST WAS SENT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE SPECIALIST WAS ALSO UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,107. UPDATED 04/22/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER DID NOT STATED IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. UPDATED 06/14/10. *JB

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH REFERENCE TO ODI #' S 10183308 AND 10288886. THESE ODI'S WERE PUT IN BY ME. THESE ARE LEAD UP'S TO THIS COMPLAINT. AFTER THE COLLISION WITH THE POLARIS I DROVE MY VEHICLE HOME. THE NEXT DAY I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO TIM'S TOYOTA IN PRESCOTT AZ. WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THEY LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD CALL FOR A FACTORY REP. TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. THIS WAS TO BE ON NOV. 9, 2009. I DID DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO YARNELL AZ FOR DEER SEASON. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO PRESCOTT TO MEET WITH THE FACTORY REP. HE DID WHATEVER THEY DO AND SAID HE HAD ALL THE INFORMATION HE NEEDED. HE ALSO TOLD ME TO GO AHEAD AND GET AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIRS BUT NOT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED UNTIL I HEARD FROM TOYOTA. THE PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE IS JUST SHY OF $2000.00. THIS ESTIMATE WAS GIVEN TO JEFF LOCKE TO BE SENT TO TOYOTA. MY QUESTION TO ALL OF THIS IS, WHY DID TOYOTA ALLOW ME TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AFTER THE MEETING, WHEN THEY KNOW THAT I AM DRIVING A TIME BOMB. ALSO WHY HASN'T NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY INVOLVED ITSELF INTO AN INVESTIGATION OF ITS OWN? I NOW KNOW THE VERBIAGE FOR THE INCIDENT. IT IS CALLED " SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" WHICH IS TIED TOGETHER WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL, THROTTLE BODY AND OTHER ELECTRICAL, VACUUM CONTROLLED , MECHANICAL UNITS. LOOK IT UP FOR YOURSELVES. IT WILL OPEN YOUR EYES TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS CONDITION. MY VEHICLE SITS IN MY GARAGE SO ANYTIME NATIONAL HIGHWAY SAFETY WANTS TO DO AN INVESTIGATION IS FINE WITH M

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2007 AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE WEARING FASTER THAN THE REAR BREAKS. THE REAR BRAKES WERE NOT ACTIVATING AUTOMATICALLY TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF OF THE FRONT BRAKES. THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THEY COULD ONLY ADJUST THE REAR BRAKING SYSTEM MANUALLY. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR ADJUSTING THE REAR BRAKES WAS $70.00. HE WILL CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 35,000.

LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS, THIS LOOKS SIMILAR TO ODI ID NUMBER : 10222095 DATE OF FAILURE: MARCH 21, 2008. I WAS AT A DEAD STOP. I TURNED MY STEERING TO THE LEFT AS POSSIBLE. AS I WAS ROUNDING THE TURN SLOWLY, THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST. I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THE U-TURN COMPLETELY. I HAD TO RUN OFF OF THE ROAD. AFTER DRIVING STRAIGHT TO REPAIR SHOP, THE MECHANIC SAID THE RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE RODS WERE BENT TO WHAT LOOKED LIKE COULD HAVE BEEN SERVICE WORK RELATED TO THE BALL JOINT RECALL. I'VE ONLY GOT 19800 MILES ON A 2006 TUNDRA CREW CAB. NO WAY THIS SHOULD OCCUR WITH THIS FEW MANY MILES. I'M JUST GLAD I WASN'T AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND TRYING TO ROUND A CURVE. I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH AND NOT USED ON A FARM. IT'S BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR SO IT SHOULDN'T HAVE CAUSED THAT MUCH STRAIN ON THE RACK. *TR

MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS FRAME RUST ISSUES. TRUCK IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. TOOK DELIVERY OF BRAND NEW TRUCK ON JANUARY 27, 2007. NOW WHERE MY TRUCK IS PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY THERE ARE MAJOR RUST STAINS ON THE DRIVEWAY. AGAIN, TRUCK IS DRIVEN IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY AREA, IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD, HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AND IS SHOWING SIGNS OF RUST ON FRAME THAT ARE SO BAD THAT IT IS STAINING THE DRIVEWAY. NOTIFIED TOYOTA TODAY, AND WILL GET THE TRUCK INSPECTED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA SOON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE DRIVER-SIDE ALL WEATHER FLOOR-MAT BECAME STUCK UNDERNEATH OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED UP TO 110 MPH. HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON, PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND THEN PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. IT TOOK 1/4 OF A MILE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AFTER HE DISCONTINUED VEHICLE OPERATION HE REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT FROM UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. HE CONTACTED THE DEALER, BUT THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY A REMEDY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

THE RIGHT FRONT STEERING TIE ROD ON MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA RUSTED AND TOTALLY DISCONNECT. I HAVE 48000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA COMPANY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS CONNECT TO THE BALL JOINT RECALL PROBLEM ON THE TOYOTA TUNDRA. *TR

TOYOTA TUNDRA 2006 DOUBLE CAB 4WD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I WAS 4 WHEELING AND STOPPED BEHIND A POLARIS, BY APPROXIMATELY 5 FEET. I WAS IN DRIVE AND 4WD AND BRAKES APPLIED. I STOPPED BECAUSE THE POLARIS HAD STOPPED. ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED MY TUNDRA LUNGED FORWARD AT A VERY HIGH RPM CRASHING INTO THE POLARIS. AT THAT POINT I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. HAD I NOT RESPONDED WITH THE ACTION I TOOK I WOULD HAVE SHOVED THE POLARIS WITH 2 PEOPLE INTO A VERY DEEP WASH. NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DAMAGE DONE TO MY TOYOTA. THE TOYOTA HAS MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. HAD I NOT TAKEN THE ACTION THAT I DID, WE ALL WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN THE DEEP WASH WITH MAJOR INJURIES. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I IMMEDIATELY CALLED TIM'S TOYOTA IN PRESCOTT ARIZONA WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE 2 PEOPLE THAT COULD HELP ME WITH THE SITUATION WERE NOT AVAILABLE SO A CALL TO THEM TOMORROW WILL BE IN ORDER. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED MY INSURANCE AS YET AS I FEEL THAT TOYOTA IS THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY FOR THE ACCIDENT. I HAD WRITTEN TO YOU QUITE A LONG TIME AGO REGARDING THE CRUISE CONTROL SURGING TO 5000 RPM'S WHEN APPROACHING EVEN A MINOR INCLINE. SO I DON'T USE IT ANYMORE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK INTO MY GARAGE FOR FEAR THAT THE TRUCK WILL LUNGE FORWARD, ONLY THIS TIME IT WILL CRASH INTO MY HVAC AND WATER HEATER, BOTH ARE ON PROPANE. *TR

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5...I HAVE NOTICED A MAJOR WEAR IN THE TIRE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I JUST TODAY NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LOWER ARM AND BALL JOINT. *TR

06 TUNDRA SEEN VERY LITTLE MUD, MUD NEVER SAT ON FOR OVER 24 HRS. ONLY 21K MILES ON IT N RUSTING GREATLY... *TR

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA FRONT END RUSTING OUT. 20,000. MILES ON IT. NO SALTING ON ROADS DURING WINTER IN OUR AREA. *TR

2006 TUNDRA CREW CAB WINDOW DEFECT IN THE MECHANISM MADE WINDOW FALL OUT. WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY AS COMMON PROBLEM BUT WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT. IF A COMMON PROBLEM SEEMS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

RATTLING NOISE (LIKE A LOOSE WASHER AROUND A BOLT) UNDER THE FIREWALL. LOUDEST AT 1200-1800 RPMS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP 15 TIMES BEFORE A MECHANIC ACTUALLY HEARD IT. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING. *TR

PAINT ON FRONT BUMPER CAME OFF WHEN WASHING AT CARWASH. A FRIEND HAS A TOYOTA CAR THAT HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT. THEY OFFERED TO HAVE THE LOCAL GUY FIX WHILE HE IS ON THE LOT. *TR
