2006 Toyota Tundra complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A PERFORATED FRAME ON THE CROSS MEMBER NEAR THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT CALLED DCH WAPPINGERS FALLS TOYOTA (1349 U.S. 9, WAPPINGERS FALLS, NY 12590; 845-206-0521) AND WAS INFORMED THAT DOD'S LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN STATED THAT THE FRAME WOULD BE AT RISK OF CORROSION AND NEEDED TO BE COATED WITH A SPECIAL COVERING TIN ORDER TO PREVENT CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 1802063078. THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST SINCE THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN EXPIRED IN 2015. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

FRAME RUST ON FRONT OF VEHICLE IN THE "CRUMPLE" ZONE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT IT WAS PART OF LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN D0D FOR 2004-2006 TUNDRAS AND THAT A SEALANT WAS APPLIED IN JUNE 2014 AND NO OTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN. THESE VEHICLES CLEARLY HAVE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ISSUES DUE TO KNOWN FRAME RUSTING RESULTING FROM A MANUFACTURING DEFICIENCY THAT ARE BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THE LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE 2004-2006 MODEL YEARS JUST LIKE THE 2000-2003 TUNDRA VEHICLES THAT WERE SUBJECT TO FULL RECALL. THE NHTSA SHOULD TAKE ACTION WITH THE 2004-2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA VEHICLES TO ENSURE TOYOTA ADDRESSES THE SAFETY RELATED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY CONCERNS WITH THE FRAMES OF THESE VEHICLES AS THEY HAVE FOR THE 2000-2003 AND 2007-2008 MODEL YEARS.

RUSTING OF FRAME IMPACTS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF VEHICLE. 2004-2006 MODEL YEARS WERE SUBJECT TO A VOLUNTARY LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON THE HEELS OF A RECALL TO THE 2000-2003 MODEL YEARS. THE LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN IS INEFFECTIVE AT MITIGATING THE SAFETY CONCERN OVER THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE. 2007-2008 ARE SUBJECT TO RECALL AS WELL. NHTSA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS MATTER TO ENSURE TOYOTA RESOLVES THE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH A RUSTING FRAME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WENT THROUGH AN EMISSIONS INSPECTION, THE INSPECTOR FAILED THE VEHICLE DUE TO A CORRODED FRAME. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED GIRARD TOYOTA AT (860) 447-3141 (LOCATED AT 543 COLMAN ST, NEW LONDON, CT 06320) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT NO RECALL WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN AND THERE WOULD BE A FEE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRAME RUSTING ON VEHICLE. *LD *JS

ANTI CORROSION PAINT WAS PUT ON THE FRAME A YEAR AND HALF LATER AND MY TRUCK WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AND TOYOTA WILL DO NOTHING THEY WANT ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE FRAME RUSTED OUT IN A YEAR AND A HALF AND WAS FINE WHEN THEY PUT THE COATING ON

TAMARA RECALL - I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY, MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO THE CITY STREET, I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR. AS I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION, ON A GREEN LIGHT, A 1996 GMC YUKON RAN A RED LIGHT, TRAVELLING APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AN HOUR AND HIT ME ON MY FRONT END, DAMAGING THE BUMPER, FENDER, DOOR, HOOD AND BED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT BUT THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH TO PROPELL ME UPWARDS, CAUSING MY LEFT SHOULDER TO HIT THE FRAME ABOVE THE WINDOW WHICH CAUSED A GRADE 3 SEPARATION OF MY LEFT COLLARBONE.

THE 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAD A RECALL ON THE FRAME BECAUSE THE FRAMES WERE COMPROMISED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO ORLEANS TOYOTA AND HAD THE FRAME INSPECTED. THEY SAID THE FRAME WAS NOT RUSTED THAT BAD AND IT COULD BE TREATED, WHICH WAS PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT COMPROMISE. NOW MY FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. HOW DID THE DEALERSHIP PROPERLY INSPECT A ENCLOSED BOX FRAME? HOW DO YOU TREAT A FRAME MADE OUT OF INFERIOR METAL AND CORRECT THE ISSUE? THE TREATMENT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE EVEN AFTER THE RECALL. I LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND AND KNOW THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TOYOTA TUNDRAS AT THIS TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK IN TO ORLEANS TOYOTA AND HAD THEM INSPECT THE FRAME. THEY TOOK A PICTURE OF WHERE THE FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND SENT IT TO TOYOTA. TOYOTA HAS NOT RESPONDED IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS. MANY OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAD THE FRAMES TREATED ARE,OR ARE BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED MULTIPLE TIMES BY PHYSICAL USPS MAILER THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO HAVE THE INFLATOR REPLACED FOR THE AIR BAGS. I FOLLOWED THE PROCESS 3 DIFFERENT TIMES AT WHICH POINT I WOULD BE PUT IN CONTACT WITH FOLSOM LAKE TOYOTA VIA TELEPHONE. EVERY TIME THEY STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE ORDERED SO THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK ON MY CELLPHONE TO SCHEDULE THE INSTALL WHEN THE PART ARRIVED. YEARS HAVE GONE BY AND THEY STILL NEVER CALL ME BACK, AND CLAIM THE PART NEEDS TO BE ORDERED EVERY TIME I DO TALK TO SOMEONE.

"TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL" TOYOTA DEALERS HAVE NOT REPLACED THE RECALLED INFLATORS ON MY VEHICLE. THIS PUTS US IN DANGER OF AFOREMENTIONED AIR BAG INFLATOR, CAUSING A DANGEROUS INJURY. WE NEED ASSISTANCE.

EARLIER IN THE YEAR OF 2017, A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA (BRIAN WARNER ET AL. V. TOYOTA MOTOR SALES) WAS SETTLED REGARDING FRAME RUST AND CORROSION. THIS LAWSUIT LED TO THE RECALL OF ALL 2005-2010 TACOMAS, 2007-2008 TUNDRAS, AND 2005-2008 SEQUOIAS. BEING THAT THE SEQUOIAS ARE BASED OFF OF THE TUNDRA IT IS INTERESTING THAT THE RESPECTIVE YEARS OF TUNDRAS WERE NOT INCLUDED WITH THE SEQUOIAS. THE ARGUMENT FOR THE CASE WAS THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY RUST PROTECTANT PUT ONTO THESE FRAMES AND THEREFORE THEY WERE ROTTING PREMATURELY AND CAUSING SERIOUS DANGER TO THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THEM. I HAVE EVEN READ STORIES OF TRUCKS SNAPPING IN HALF UNDER THEIR OWN WEIGHT WHEN BEING PUT ONTO A LIFT. I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 TUNDRA AND AM EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT AM NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. ONE OF THE RACK AND PINION MOUNTS THAT ARE WELDED ONTO THE FRONTMOST CROSSMEMBER OF THE FRAME IS 2/3 ROTTED AWAY AND IS ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE IT WILL BREAK OFF LEADING TO AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE REASON TOYOTA LOST THIS LAWSUIT AND WHY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM HAVE BEEN RECALLED. TOYOTA ALSO RECOGNIZED THIS ISSUE IN 2015 WITH A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN WHICH EXPIRED AND OFFERED NO WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR IT. I RECENTLY VISITED A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO WENT UNDER THE VEHICLES AND CLAIMED THAT THE ROT IS SO BAD UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FRAME ENTIRELY IF IT HAD BEEN RECALLED. THEY ALSO GAVE ME DOCUMENTATIO

FRAME IS ROTTING OUT

FRAME RUST - I AM EXPERIENCING MAJOR FRAME RUST ON MY VEHICLE. IT EFFECTS 90% OF THE FRAME, THE BRAKE LINES, CONTROL ARMS AND EVEN THE ALIGNMENT COMPONENTS. MOST RECENTLY MY ALIGNMENT COMPONENTS SEIZED UP WITH RUST AND NOW THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE PROPERLY ALIGNED WITH OUT REPLACEMENT OF THOSE COMPONENTS. THIS HAS CAUSE ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR. TOYOTA HAS RECALLED 2000-2003 TUNDRA FRAMES. ALSO TOYOTA HAS NOW HAVE BEEN SUED FOR THE 2005-2007 SEQUOIA FRAMES & AND 2007-2008 TUNDRAS. MY VEHICLE NEEDS A RECALL AS WELL!!! THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!

I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES FROM BF GOODRICH DEALER IN MINNESOTA ON12/9/2015 THEY MOUNTED AND BALANCED AND INSTALLED THE TIRES. THEN ON 9/01/2017 I HAD A REAR PASSENGER TIRE EXPLODE AND COME APART AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I BROUGHT THE DAMAGED TIRE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH INSTALLED THEM AND CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE TIRES THE DEALER SOLD ME AS NEW TIRES HAD A MANUFACTURES DATE OF 09/2000 THAT MEANT THAT THE TIRES WHERE OVER 15 YEARS OLD THAT THEY SOLD ME AS NEW TIRES AND I BELIEVE THAT IS ULTIMATELY THE ISSUE OF THE TIRE EXPLODING CAUSING A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT TYPE OF ACTION AS A CONSUMER I CAN TAKE TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. THANKS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. *JS

CURRENT MILEAGE APROX. 89000 . HAD A BRAKE CHECK AT MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. RAISED TRUCK ON TO THE LIFT AND WAS SHOCKED AT WHAT HAD BEEN REVEALED . THE FRAME HAS ROTTED THROUGH ALL OF ITS CROSS MEMBERS, CREATING A MAJOR STRUCTURAL PROBLEM. THE REAR CROSS MEMBER WICH IS CONNECTED AT 4 POINTS TO THE MAIN FRAME RAILS IS NOW ONLY CONNECTED AT 1 POINT. THIS CROSS MEMBER ALSO CARRYS THE SPARE TIRE. IF GONE UN DISCOVERD MAY HAVE FALLEN OFF DURING TRAVEL, CREATING A SAFTEY CONCERN. THE MAIN FRAME RAIL HAS MAJOR RUST DAMAGE AT THE CONNECTION POINT WITH THE CENTER CROSS MEMBER WICH PROVIDES STABILITY TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION . TOYOTA HAD A RECALL ON THESE FRAMES BUT WERE ONLY PROVIDING A SPRAY ON RUBBERIZED COATING, WICH MOSTLY FLAKED OFF IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA DIRECTLY AND OPENED UP A CLAIM WICH WAS EVENTUALLY DENIED.THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AS IS .IM NOT FINANCIALLY IN A POSITION TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE AT THIS TIME . I DONT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN WITH THIS SITUATION IF YOU SPEND 40-50,000 DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET MORE THAN 89000 MILES OUT OF IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED REGARDING THE CHASSIS. THE REPAIR CONSISTED OF SPRAYING A SUBSTANCE THAT WOULD PREVENT RUST FROM OCCURRING.

THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHASSIS WAS DAMAGED TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

STATE INSPECTION REVEALED RUST PERFORATION OF FRAME, NEAR FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH NO BODY RUST BUT THE FRAME IS ROTTING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD OR COULD HAVE EVEN KILLED SOMEONE AND TOYOTA DID NOT EVEN NOTIFY ME OF THE ISSUE. WHEN I DID FIND OUT ABOUT THIS AND CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY SAID THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

"FRAMING ISSUE" I DISCOVERED ON JULY 23, 2017 THE FRAMING ON MY TRUCK AS ALREADY CORRODING WITH FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF THE FRAME BEGINNING TO COMPLETELY ROT WITH THE METAL BECOMING BRITTLE AND CRUMBLING LEAVING HOLES IN THE FRAME. TOYOTA CORPORATION HAD A RECALL REGARDING THE FRAMES FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH WERE NOT PROTECTED FOR THE NORTHEAST WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS. THEY APPLIED AN ANTI-CORROSIN SPRAY IN HOPES THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE CORRECTED, BUT THE RESULTS THREE YEARS LATER IS THE FRAMING HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO CORROSION WHICH MAY RENDER THE FRAME TO COMPLETE SUPPORT FAILURE. SPEAKING WITH CHRISTEEN, CASE MANAGER AT TOYOTA (800-331-4331, EXT 73811: CASE #1707240770), FAILED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM IN SAYING THERE IS NO OPEN CASE REGARDING THIS ISSUE, THEREFORE TOYOTA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. SHE FURTHER WENT ON TO SAY THAT TOYOTA EXTENDED A COURTESY IN RECALLING THE 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRAS FOR THIS PROBLEM TO ALL CUSTOMERS EVEN THOSE BEING OUTDSIDE THE WARRANTY TIMELINE (AT TIME OF RECALL MY TRUCK HAD 93,000 MILES). THEY BELIEVED THAT THIS ANTI-CORROSION SPRAY WOULD ALLOW THE FRAMES AN EXTENDED LIFE PERIOD BEFORE THE CORROSION WOULD EVENTUALLY ROT OUT THE FRAMES COMPLETELY. SHE APOLOGIZED IN SAYING THERE IS NOTHING MORE SHE COULD DO AND HOPED THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER AVENUE SHE COULD TAKE IN RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED TRUCK USED JUNE 2016..SOMEBODY INFORMED ME LATER THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RUST ISSUE WITH THE FRAMES ON THESE MODELS. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION IT LOOKS LIKE AT SOME POINT SOMEBODY TRIED TO COVER UP WITH UNDER SPRAY. THAT HAS NOT HELD BECAUSE A GOOD PORTION OF FRAME AND CROSS MEMBER HAS RUSTED AWAY. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY GAVE ME TWO CASE NUMBERS AND SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND RECALL EXPIRED. I ASKED DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT FOR RUST IN JANUARY OF 2017 AND THEY SAID IT WAS TOYOTA ISSUE AND TO WAIT. I THINK IT COULD BE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE IF TRYING TO PULL TRAILER AND POSSIBLE ANY OTHER TIME..SAFETY ISSUES SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPIRATION IN MY OPINION. NOT GOOD FEEDBACK SINCE JANUARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE HOLES IN THE FRAME. THE REAR END HOUSING WAS REPLACED, BUT THE HOLES IN THE FRAME WERE NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BUCKHANNON TOYOTA (63 BRUSHY FORK RD, BUCKHANNON, WV 26201), BUT DID NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE SINCE NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS AND THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO THE CONTACT NOT TAKING THE VEHICLE FOR UNDERCOATING, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO UNDERCOATING RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. UPDATED 09/07/17*LJ *CN

I RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY TRUCKS AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE TOOK MY TRUCK TO DEALER THEY SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART AND CALL ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR INSTALLATION I WENT BACK THREE TIMES TO DEALER WITH NO SUCCESS ALSO THE RECALL THEY MADE ON MY TRUCK LAST YEAR THE FRAME RUSTING OUT DID NOT LAST EVERY THING THEY DID FELL OFF THE FRAME OF MY TRUCK IS THIS TRUCK SAFE TO DRIVE

TRUCK HAD FRONT GAS TANK STRAP RUST OUT. WENT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. WAS TOLD REPAIR COULDN'T BE COMPLETED BECAUSE FRAME HAD RUSTED OUT IN THAT AREA. 2014 TOYOTA HAD A RUST CAMPAIGN AND DEALER APPLIED CORROSION RUST COATING. FRAME STILL RUSTED! WAS INFORMED BY DEALER UNSAFE TO DRIVE. RECALLS ON ALL OTHER YEARS EXCEPT 2006. TRUCK SITS IN DRIVEWAY BASICALLY IS A PILE OF SCRAP. CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE RECEIVED CASE #. CASE MANAGER TOLD ME SORRY CANNOT HELP THE RUST COATING WAS A ONE TIME FIX. SO NOW AM STUCK WITH A TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE. !!!!THANKS TOYOTA!!!!

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA TELLING ME I NEEDED TO HAVE MY FRAME INSPECTED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN 2014. I DID THIS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID MY FRAME WAS FINE. LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT MY FRAME WAS NOT FINE AND URGED ME TO CONTACT THE DEALER OR TOYOTA CORPORATE DIRECTLY. I DID SO BUT THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL THAT HAD BEEN PLACED ON THE FRAMES HAD EXPIRED. I RECENTLY HAD SOME BRAKE WORK DONE ON THE TRUCK AFTER MY BRAKE LINES BURST. THE SAME MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE FRAME WAS SO BAD THAT HE DID NOT THINK IT WOULD PASS INSPECTION. I ONCE AGAIN CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY AND THEY SAID THEIR WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE FRAME ANALYZED BY A THIRD PARTY IN HOPES REPAIRS CAN BE MADE SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO BUY A NEW TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS 112000 AND I INTENDED TO PUT MANY MORE MILES ON IT THAN THAT. ALSO RELATED TO THE METAL USED UNDER THAT TRUCK, IN 2014 THE REAR PUMPKIN RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND I NEEDED TO HAVE A NEW REAR SUSPENSION PUT IN. FURTHERMORE, I TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ZIEBART UNDERCOATING THAT THE DEALER WAS ADVERTISING WHERE FOR THE FIRST 6 YEARS I OWNED THE TRUCK, 2008-2014, I HAD IT UNDERCOATED ONCE EVERY YEAR. THE FACT THAT IT HAD BEEN PROTECTED WITH THE UNDERCOATING THE FIRST 6 YEARS I HAD IT AND THEN 2 YEARS LATER WAS RUSTED THROUGH IS AN INDICATION TO ME THAT THEIR IS SOME SORT OF MANUFACTURES DEFECT. *JS

MY TOYOTA TUNDRA WAS PART OF A TOYOTA 'LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN' REGARDING CORROSION OF THE VEHICLE'S FRAME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION WHICH RESULTED IN THEM CLEANING AND SPRAYING SOMETHING ON THE FRAME ON 5/9/14 WITH 89,820 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TRADE THE VEHICLE IN ON 4/19/17 WITH APPROXIMATELY 109,000 MILES ON IT, IT WAS DETERMINED THERE IS A HOLE IN THE FRAME WHERE THE FRONT STABILIZER ATTACHES TO FRAME. NOT ONLY IS THERE A HOLE IN FRAME BUT THE STABILIZER IS NO LONGER ATTACHED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES REGARDING CORROSION ON THIS VEHICLE AND EACH PUT MY PERSONAL SAFETY AT RISK. ANOTHER EXAMPLE HAPPENED AROUND SEPTEMBER OF 2015 WITH 94,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN I DISCOVERED THE FUEL TANK WAS HANGING DOWN AND ALMOST TOUCHING THE GROUND. TURNED OUT THE MOUNTING STRAPS HAD RUSTED THROUGH. I NOTICED IT AFTER HAVING JUST DRIVEN TO A LOCAL BUSINESS. HAD I NOT NOTICED IT, THE TANK COULD HAVE HIT THE ROAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING CAUGHT FIRE BEFORE I COULD HAVE STOPPED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO HAD BRAKE LINES RUST THROUGH CAUSING ME TO LOOSE MOST OF MY BRAKING WHEN DRIVING ON A LOCAL STREET AND JUST BARELY BEING ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE TAKING GOOD CARE OF IT INCLUDING WASHING DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. AT WHAT POINT IS TOYOTA RESPONSIBLE FOR INSURI

4/12/17 I CALLED TO SCHEDULE REPLACEMENT OF MY RECALLED AIR BAG VIN:6S457928 TOYOTA TUNDRA 2006 MGR. NANCY (TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SOUTH BLVD. CHARLOTTE) REFUSED TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT WITH OUT ME PROVIDING MY PHONE NUMBER. SHE WOULD EVEN LET ME TALK TO HER MGR. TOD GRUB OR LEAVE MESSAGE FOR HIM. SHE WAS PLAIN RUDE SO I ASKED HER TO GIVE ME SOMETHING IN WRITING "REFUSAL TO REPLACE AIR BAG DUE TO CUSTOMER UNWILLINGNESS TO RELEASE PHONE NUMBER" SHE REFUSED THAT TOO. I TRIED TO EDUCATE MGR NANCY THAT ALL YOU NEED AND ALL YOU CAN GET IN THIS SITUATION IS MY TITLE AND MY ID. I HOPE THAT YOU SEE AND ADDRESS THE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT AND RISK THEY KEEP US IN.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR A YEAR TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED UNDER THE RECALL WITH MAITA TOYOTA AND FOLSOM LAKE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS IN CALIFORNIA. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE AND THEY PARTS COULD STILL TAKE A YEAR TO COME IN. THIS IS NONSENSE. WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO NOT HAVE THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPLACE A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS THEIR FAULT. WHY DO I HAVE TO ASSUME THE RISK OF HAVING MY FACE BLOWN OFF BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. AS USUAL THE CORPORATIONS GET AWAY WITH MURDER WHILE THE INDIVIDUALS PAY THE PRICE. THE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO BE MADE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT AND GET THESE SAFETY RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF.

THIS STARTED 1/7/2017 COMING HOME FROM WORK BACK GRAVEL ROAD HEATER WOULD NOT WORK NOTICED HEAT GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY UP THEN CAME DOWN TO NORMAL WORKED OK FOR A WHILE DID IT AGAIN. DRIVE HOME APPROX. 10 MILES DID NOT GET HOT BUT TEMPERATURE GAUGE REGISTERED HOT SLOWLY DROVE HOME PUT WATER IN AFTER COOLED OFF. HAD TO LEAVE AT HOME TILL I MADE APPOINTMENT TO BRING IN.

DID NOT MESS UP UNTIL 2/27/2017 SAME ROAD REGISTERED HOT DROVE HOME SHUT OFF ADDED WATER, HAD TO SIT FOR A FEW DAYS TILL OPENING FOR APPOINTMENT. HE DID NOT FIX HE CHECKED OUT FOUND 2 LEAKS ONE DEALING WITH TRANSMISSION AND THE OTHER DEALING WITH STEERING OR BALL JOINTS. HE IS CONCERNED BECAUSE IT RAN OUT OF FLUID EVEN THOU I FILLED UP ASAP. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE. THIS IS WHAT HE SAYS POSSIBLE HEAD GASKET LEAK NEAR STEERING RACK. AND BETWEEN ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION POSSIBLE FRONT SEAL. ALSO I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW IN OLATHE, KANSAS.

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK BED STARTED RUSTING SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE RUSTED FRAME BUT NOT THE BED. SURROUNDING METAL AREA SURROUNDING ALL SCREWS THAT HOLD BED ONTO FRAME COMPLETELY RUSTED. GOLF BALL SIZE HOLES IN BED AS WELL. RUSTING RAPIDLY.

SPENT TOO MUCH ON THIS VEHICLE. INSIDE BED LOOKS LIKE THE CURRENT PICTURES OF THETITANIC. I AM AT A COMPLETE LOSS. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

UINIVERSAL JOINTS

I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE SOME BODY WORK DONE ON MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE BODY SHOP OWNER SAID THAT HE SAW THE FRAME WAS EXTREMELY RUSTY AND IN HIS OPINION WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. HE SAID HE REMEMBERED THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL FOR RUSTY FRAMES PREVIOUSLY BUT HE DID NOT REMEMBER WHAT YEARS AND MODELS WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HE SUGGESTED I CONTACT TOYOTA. I DID CONTACT TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED IN JULY OF 2015. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2006 AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THE TRUCK. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL AND HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRUCKS. AFTER SPEAKING ON THE PHONE WITH A TOYOTA REPNAD BEING TOLD THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY TRUCK I SENT AN EMAIL TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS AND THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY STOOD BEHIND THEIR ORIGINAL RESPONSE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A SAFETY RECALL CAN EXPIRE. THE SAFETY PROBLEM WILL ALWAYS BE THERE UNTIL FIXED. I FEEL I AM NOW DRIVING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD STAND BY WHATEVER THE ORIGINAL REMEDY WAS. *TR

SECONDARY AIR INJECTOR PUMP FAILED. HEAR LOUD VACUUM CLEANER NOISE FROM PUMP WHEN STARTING COLD ENGINE, LASTS FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 67,400 MILES ON IT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR LATER MODELS, NOT 2006'S. $2000 REPAIR.

IT IS A 60 MINUTE DRIVE BOTH WAYS, AND I HAD MY WIFE PICK ME UP AND WHEN I RETURNED AT 12 NOON, THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED, AND WAS NOT GIVEN AN EXPLANATION WHY. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.
