2006 Toyota Tundra complaints

MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE CAB HAS SIGNIFICANT RUST, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A CRACK ALONG THE FRAME RAIL APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES LONG NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL. THE FRAME HAS NUMEROUS OTHER HOLES OPENING UP AND SIGNIFICANT FLAKES OF STEEL FALLING OF THE FRAME IN THIS SAME AREA. I HAVE METICULOUSLY CARED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN SURE TO KEEP THE CAR AND FRAME CLEAN, PARTICULARLY DURING THE HARSH WINTER MONTHS. NONETHELESS THE FRAME HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT WHERE THE SWAY BAR MOUNT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH. WHILE TOYOTA INITIATED A "LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN" THIS IS NOT A FULL RECALL. I LEARNED OF THIS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE 26 DAYS AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE CAMPAIGN ON JULY 31, 2015. AS THIS IS NOT A RECALL, CUSTOMERS SUCH AS MYSELF HAVE NO RECOURSE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND WAS RUDELY INFORMED THAT THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS AND THAT MY VEHICLE CANNOT BE COVERED UNDER THE CAMPAIGN AS IT HAS EXPIRED. THIS LEAVES ME WITH SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF TOYOTA'S ENGINEERING ERROR. NOT ONLY DOES THIS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE, BUT CLEARLY POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION ARE WEAKENED. FURTHERMORE, AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE AND INJURY AS A RESULT OF THE WEAKENED STRUCTURE. THE FACT THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN NOT BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL IS APPALLING. TOYOTA IS UNWILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES AND HAS LEFT ME TO FEND FOR MYSELF FOR THEIR ERROR. I STRONGLY URGE THE NHTSA T

WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OVER/DRIVE TURNS OFF. YOU HIT THE BUTTON TO TURN IT BACK ON AND START DRIVING AND IT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF AGAIN, NO MATTER YOUR SPEED. IT HAS TURNED OFF ON ME DOING 70MPH AND REALLY BOGS DOWN THE TRANSMISSION. I FOUND IF YOU WIGGLE THE RUBBER BOOT AT THE CONSUL IT WILL TURN IT BACK ON. READ ON GOOGLE THE WIRE IS STRIPPED FROM ALL THE YEARS OF SHIFTING AND IS SHORTING IT OUT.

TOYOTA IS BEING DISHONEST AND SCAMMING CONSUMERS ON THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ON JULY 22 AND CALLED LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER THE SAME DAY. THEY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT ON JULY 28 TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL. THE LETTER FROM TOYOTA IS WRITTEN TO COVER THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND LIABILITY BY STATING TO NOT USE THE TRUCKS PASSENGER SEAT. THIS BASICALLY TAKES THE VEHICLE OUT OF USE FOR MANY THINGS A TRUCK PROVIDES OUTSIDE OF A SINGLE DRIVER. JULY 28 - THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TELLS ME AFTER 2 HOURS THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND I WILL NEED TO COME BACK AT A LATER DATE. AGAIN TOYOTA HAS LIMITED OR REMOVED MY ABILITY TO USE THE VEHICLE AS INTENDED. NO DATE ON PARTS WERE GIVEN BY TOYOTA DEALER. A JULY 28 CALL TO TOYOTA USA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER YIELDS THE FOLLOWING - TOYOTA STATES THEY TOLD THE DEALERS THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. TOYOTA SAYS THE DEALER SHOULD NOT HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA CAN NOT GET THE BASICS OF COMMUNICATIONS DOWN. BOTTOM-LINE - TOYOTA IS NOT DOING THE REPAIRS, DOES NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL AND VEHICLES HAVE TO BE LIMITED FOR USE OR NOT USED BASED ON THE TOYOTA "STRONGLY RECOMMENDS" LIABILITY STATEMENT TO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT AND HOPE SOMEONE FROM TOYOTA CONTACTS US WHEN THE PARTS ARE THERE AS I HAVE FULFILLED MY PART TO CONTACT TOYOTA AND RETURN THE TRUCK.

I JUST CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS TO MAKE THE REPAIR ARE ON BACK ORDER FOR AT LEAST 5 WEEKS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID "WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN THEY COME IN". SERIOUSLY, THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND I AM TOLD TO NO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL IT IS FIXED? I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND MY HUSBAND CARPOOL EVERYDAY 5 DAYS A WEEK. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO FOR THE 5 WEEKS UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. I BELIEVE 5 WEEKS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR SUCH A CRUICIAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT IS RISKING DEATH OR SEVERE INJURY. THE PROBLEM IS MOISTURE AND FOR HEAVENS SAKE THIS IS FLORIDA WITH DAILY RAIN AND HIGH HUMIDITY.

THE SPARE TIRE WAS HANGING UNDER THE TRUCK. USE THE TOOLS TO CRANK IT BACK UP AND HOLD IT SECURELY. THE FIRST TURN AND THE CABLE SNAPPED AND TIRE FELL. THE CABLE WAS RUSTED AND SNAPPED AND THE CARRIER HOLDING THE TIRE ITSELF FELL

SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP NEEDS REPLACED. CODE P1441 AND P1444 ERROR CODE. THIS RECALL ONLY EFFECTS 2007-2009 MODELS ALTHOUGH THE SAME PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING IN 2005 AND 2006. MINE BEING A 2006 ISN'T COVERED BY A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS A 2K PLUS JOB. THANKS

IN JUNE 2014 I TOOK MY TUNDRA TO HAVE IT EVALUATED, REFERENCE FRAME RUST. TOYOTA FELT THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO APPLY SOME TYPE OF COMPOUND TO THE FRAME. *10/15/2015 BF IN MAY 2015 I LOOKED UNDER MY TRUCK AND NOTICED THAT THE RUST WAS COMING BACK WITH A VENGEANCE, ESPECIALLY WHERE THE RUST WAS HEAVIEST BEFORE. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT IF THE FRAME WAS DRIED, BRUSH, AND THEN THE COMPOUND "RUST PROOFING" WAS APPLIED THAT THE RUST WOULD BE COMING THROUGH/BACK IN LESS THEN A YEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY DO NOT SEEM INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. I FIND IT DISHEARTENING THAT THE BODY, ENGINE, AND THE REST OF THE TRUCK WILL OUTLAST THE FRAME. RUST DOES HAPPEN IN THE NORTH. HOWEVER, FRAMES DO NOT TURN TO DUST BEFORE THE FENDERS AND THE BODY. HOW IS IT THE BODY IS LASTING LONGER AND WEARING BETTER? THOSE PARTS ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME ELEMENTS AS THE FRAME! ESSENTIALLY, TOYOTA TRIED TO PUT MAKEUP OR A BAND-AID ON THE PROBLEM WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. IF YOU JUST PAINT OR COVER RUST WITHOUT TREATING THE RUST TO BEGIN WITH, THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. IF YOU SAND THE RUST DOWN/OUT, THEN APPLY YOUR PAINT OR COMPOUND, YOU WILL EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR METAL. I HAVE TRIED TO BRING THIS ISSUE UP WITH TOYOTA AND THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. THEY STATE THE ISSUE IS CLOSED AND NOTHING ELSE WILL BE DONE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT CERTAINLY APPEARS THAT TOYOTA'S MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND STANDARDS FOR SECOND GENERATION TUNDRA ARE NO DIFFERENT THEN THE FIRST.

A 1992 FORD F-250 (2 DOOR) TOWING A PORTABLE CEMENT MIXER, ESTIMATED WEIGHT @350-450 POUNDS, CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AND STRUCK A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREW CAB (4 DOOR) HEAD ON. BOTH VEHICLES ESTIMATED SPEED WAS 50 MPH. ALL DRIVERS AND PASSENGER WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS, AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY. THE F-250'S DRIVER SUSTAINED 1 DETACHED RIB PLUS CUTS AND BRUISES. IN THE TOYOTA, THE FOLLOWING INJURIES OCCURRED: PASSENGER: BROKEN LEFT ANKLE, 7 BROKEN RIBS, STERNUM AND CLAVICLE FRACTURES, 7 INCH LEG LACERATION, 5 INCH HAND LACERATION, CUTS & BRUISES. DRIVER: BROKEN RIGHT ANKLE, BRAIN CONTUSION/CONCUSSION (VISIBLE IMPACT SPOT ON WINDSHIELD - SEE BELOW), BROKEN RIB, CUTS AND BRUISES. TOYOTA'S OCCUPANTS CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION INTRUDED ABOUT 2 FEET INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, CONSISTENT WITH THE ANKLE INJURIES. IT ALSO APPEARS FROM PHOTOS THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS PUSHED BACK INTO THE DRIVER, ALTHOUGH THE BELT AND AIRBAG COULD HAVE NOT PROVIDED ADEQUATE PROTECTION ALSO. FRONTAL PHOTOS OF THE TOYOTA SHOW, APPARENTLY, THAT THE BODYWORK DETACHED FROM THE FRAME - THE FRONT OF THE FRAME IS CLEARLY VISIBLE & DOES NOT LOOK SERIOUSLY DAMAGED, WITH THE BODYWORK (INCLUDING THE BUMPER) PUSHED BACK SUBSTANTIALLY. IT SEEMS TO ME THERE ARE SEVERAL POSSIBLE DEFECT/DESIGN ISSUES HERE: 1. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CAME STRAIGHT BACK AND DID NOT DEFLECT DOWNWARDS, CAUSING THE LOWER EXTREMITY INJURIES. 2. MULTIPLE RIB INJURIES DESPITE OCCUPANTS BEING BELTED SUGGESTS EXCESSIVE AIRBAG INFLATION PR

THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM........SINCE THE ORIGINAL 70B RECALL. I WAS BACKING INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE LEFT FRONT BALL JOINT FAILED. MY SON AND I HAD JUST COME OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. MY TIRE WAS NEARLY OFF THE TRUCK AND IT JAMMED INTO THE LEFT FRONT QUARTER PANEL, I COULD NOT EXIT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE NUT CAME OFF AND WAS ON THE GROUND, THE COTTER PIN WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND OF COURSE THEY WOULD NOT MAY FOR THIS REPAIR. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN PART OF A MASS RECALL BY TOYOTA MOTORS. THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM AND POTENTIAL DANGER. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH (POSTED SPEED FOR THE US 20 BYPASS AROUND SOUTH BEND IN}, I DROVE OVER A SLIGHT BUMP COMING OFF AN OVERPASS BRIDGE. MY WIFE AND I HEARD A WHOOSHING NOISE FROM UNDER THE TRUCK THAT WAS REPEATED AS WE DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN WE REACHED OUR DESTINATION I FOUND THE FRONT GAS TANK RETAINING STRAP HAD BROKEN. THE GAS TANK WAS DANGLING JUST ABOVE THE PAVEMENT AND THE NOISE WAS THE PLASTIC SKID PLATE HITTING THE ROAD. THE STRAP WAS CLEARLY RUSTED THROUGH AFTER ONLY 98000 MILES. IT WAS A FULL TANK OF GAS. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO FIRE. TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THE REPAIR OR ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE INCURRED FRAME RUSTING. *SS THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS RECALL FOR FRAME RUSTING. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER PERFORMED THE TREATMENT LAST FEBRUARY. HOWEVER, AN INSPECTION PERFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT ONLY PART OF THE FRAME HAD BEEN TREATED AND THERE WAS SERIOUS FLAKING/EROSION OF AN UNTREATED PORTION OF THE FRAME. *JB

NOTICED THAT 1 OF MY REAR LEAF SPRING "LEAFS" HAD BROKEN IN HALF - TOTALLY. CALLED DEALER TOLD OUT OF WARRANTY. TRUCK WAS 4-5 YR.S OLD W/LOW MILAGE. BY SHEAR LUCK I NOTICED IT. HAD I NOT NOTICED IT I BELIEVE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR PROBLEM POSSIBLY WITH GAS TANK OR PERHAPS TIRE. *JS

I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE FRAME RUST CORROSION RECALL. CORPORATE GUIDELINES INDICATE THE NECESSITY TO INSPECT, REMOVE THE PICKUP BED, REMOVE ANY RUST AND REINSPECT FOR RUST PERFORATION. CORPORATE ALLOWS 8-9 BILLABLE HOURS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS SERVICE. MY VEHICLES SERVICE WAS COMPLETED IN LESS THAN 4. UPON INSPECTION, IT IS APPARENT THAT THE DEALERSHIP NEVER REMOVED THE BED NOR REMOVED ANY RUST PRIOR TO SPRAYING THE FRAME WITH ITS "CRC". I HAD DOCUMENTED PHOTOGRAPHS TO PROVE THIS POINT AND THEN CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE. BY TOYOTA CORPORATE'S REQUEST, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. UPON INSPECTION,THE DEALERSHIP'S SHOP MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE BED WAS NOT REMOVED AND MULTIPLE AREAS OF RUST THAT HAD BEEN LEFT UNTOUCHED. ONLY FURTHER INDICATING THAT IN ADDITION TO NOT REMOVING THE BED, THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT BOTHER TO REMOVE ANY EXISTING RUST FROM THE FRAME EITHER. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO STRIP AND PROPERLY TREAT THE FRAME AS INDICATED BY CORPORATE GUIDELINES. I CONTACTED CORPORATE AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL ACTIONS. AS IT STANDS, IT IS QUESTIONABLE AT BEST AS TO HOW LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE THERE IS A POTENTIAL FAILURE HERE. THIS IS NO ISOLATED INCIDENT EITHER, THERE ARE MANY OWNERS WHO ARE BEING DEFRAUDED IN A SIMILAR FASHION. FIVE MINUTES ON GOOGLE WILL EASILY PROVE THIS POINT. AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, TOYOTA SETTLED WITH THE FRAME MANUFACTURER (DANA CORP) FOR AROUND $25 MILL
