MY 2009 TUNDRA CREWMAX THAT I JUST BOUGHT HAS THIS PROBLEM AND HAS HAD IT FOR TWO YEARS ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER. WHY IS THE TUNDRA LEFT OUT OF THESE RECALLS WHEN OBVIOUSLY IT IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL TOYOTA AUTOS IN THIS TIME PERIOD

MY 2009 TOYOTA TUNDRA FREQUENTLY STALLS AFTER SLOWING FROM HIGH WAY SPEED FOR A TURN ONTO A SIDE ROAD OR AFTER BRAKING TO A SLOW SPEED WHILE DRIVING AFTER WHICH I NORMALLY REACCERLATE. THIS IS A 5.7 L I-FORCE V8, 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANS.

IT LOSES POWER, MY 2009 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH LESS THAN 90,000 MILES , JUST DECELERATES AND WENT DOWN TO 30 MILES PER HOUR IN THE FREEWAY, I USED A CARMD READING TO GIVE ME A CODE, AND IT SHOWS THAT THE CODE WAS P2442, IT WILL COST ME $2,500 OR MORE TO FIX IT. THE ENGINE RED LIGHT, VSC AND 4LO WILL SHOW IN THE DASH. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY TURNED SOFT AND GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN BEFORE IT STARTS TO GRAB. PUT IN NEW PADS ALL AROUND, NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND HAD SYSTEM COMPLETELY BLED, PROBLEM STILL THERE. CHECKED OUT TOYOTA TUNDRA FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON THESE TRUCKS, ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES. EVERYONE SAYS THAT IT IS AN ABS MODULE PROBLEM COSTING OVER $2000.00 TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SWITCHED TO LIMP MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA TOYOTA OF MISSOULA (LOCATED AT 4001 BROOKS ST, MISSOULA, MT 59804) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SECONDARY INJECTION PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP WAS EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH AND TOWING A CAMPER, THE RACK AND PINION FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING ABILITY WAS LOST. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ALSO OVERHEATED AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER AND HELENA TOYOTA (3365 US-12, HELENA, MT 59601, (406) 442-6310) OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,544.

AIR INJECTION SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING UP HILL. VEHICLE WOULD ONLY DRIVE ON FLAT OR DOWNHILL, NO MORE THAN 35 MPH. TOYOTA HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YRS OR 150K. WHICH OUR VEHICLE IS 103K AND 10 YEARS 1 MONTH. TOYOTA WOULD NOT FIT US INTO THE WARRANTY.

REPORTING A SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING THE ECM, WIRE HARNESS, AND A SENSOR ATTACHED TO THE TRANSMISSION. IN PARTICULAR, A TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILED AND ALLOWED A TRANSMISSION FLUID TO WICK ITS WAY THROUGH THE WIRE HARNESS AND INTO THE COMPUTER FOR THE TRUCK. IN THIS CASE, THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK'S STARTER TO ENGAGE WHEN THE LIGHTS FOR THE VEHICLE WERE TURNED ON, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE TRUCK WAS ALREADY RUNNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP RUNNING, EVEN WHEN THE KEY WAS DISENGAGED FROM THE IGNITION. UPON ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE DAYLIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, THE TRUCK DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY STREET, JUST AFTER PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK FOR A FEW DAYS, THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD GOTTEN INTO THE COMPUTER AND THAT THIS WAS MOST LIKELY THE CAUSE FOR THE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN SHOWED ME THE COMPUTER, TURNED IT UPSIDE DOWN, AND I COULD SEE THE FLUID DRIPPING OUT. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WAS $3,855.95. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE, WHICH WAS DENIED CITING THE FACT THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. TOYOTA DID NOT ISSUE A WRITTEN RESPONSE, AND I SIMPLY RECEIVED A PHONE CALL TO TELL ME THAT THE CLAIM WAS DENIED. I EXPLAINED THAT AN ISSUE SUCH AS THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN OVER NIGHT AND THIS FLUID COULD HAVE BEEN LEAKING INTO THE COMPUTER FOR YEARS. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE DID NOT CARE ABOUT THIS FACT OR THE POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH FLUID GETTING INTO THE TRUCK'S COMPUTER. A FAULTY

I HAD THE ACCELERATOR STICK TWO TIMES RECENTLY. MY TIRES SPUN VERY FAST AND I ALMOST TOOK OFF INTO A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF I DIDN'T QUICKLY PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL UNTIL THE ENGINE REVVED DOWN. THIS IS A HELPLESS FEELING AND SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE TRUCK.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE DURING A FIVE MILE TRIP TO WORK AND IS STILL ON. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE REVEALED A FAULT IN AN AIR VALVE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PART BECAUSE OF A KNOWN ISSUE AFFECTING THE SAME YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AS MY TUNDRA. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK ABOUT THE REPAIR PROCESS AS I WAS WITHIN THE 10 YEAR/150K MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. THEY STATED THE PART WAS REPLACED IN 2014. I WAS THEN DIRECTED TO CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THE PART WAS ALREADY REPLACED. I DO NOT HAVE FAITH THAT REPLACING THE PART WILL FIX MY TRUCK IN THE LONG RUN. TOYOTA OBVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED A FAULT WITH THEIR TRUCKS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON A KNOWN BAD PART. BUT, THIS DID NOT FIX THE TRUCK. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS COME BACK AGAIN AFTER THE PART WAS REPLACED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ONLY FOUR YEARS AGO. I BELIEVE THAT EVEN IF I HAVE THE TRUCK FIXED, THE PROBLEM WILL PERSIST EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR REPLACING THE PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM FAILED. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND HAULING A LOADED TRAILER, ACCORDING TO THE ESTIMATED CAPACITY, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT AND CAUSED THE TRAILER AND THE VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL. THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGED AND FAILED TO STABILIZE THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A DITCH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 187,000.

BED OF TRUCK IS RUSTING FROM BOTTOM UP FIRST NOTIFIED TOYOTA 11/04/2016 HAD A DEALER LOOK AT IT SORRY ABOUT BY LUCK THEY WILL NOT COVER IT ONLY HAD 38,794 MILE ON IT ALWAYS HAD A CAP ON IT AND WAS INSIDE AND RARELY DROVE.

PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 67 MILES ON IT, AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES IT STARTED TO MAKE A DRAGGING SOUND FROM THE FRONT DRIVE TRAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT HEAR OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. HAD IT BACK ANOTHER TIME FOR INSPECTION AND MENTIONED NOISE AGAIN BUT STILL THEY COULD NOT "HEAR ANYTHING". I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK SINCE THEN WITH THE NOISE COMING AND SUBSIDING, THE TRUCK NOW HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT AND THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH VIBRATIONS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SEVEN YEAR WARRANTY RAN OUT AND I'M SURE THAT IF I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY WILL NOW HEAR THE NOISE. I LOOKED AT ONLINE FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS, TOYOTA HAS TO KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS.

TAKATA RECALL HAVE BEEN GETTING CALLS AND MAILERS FOR A FEW OF YEARS. HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIME,. BUT HAVE NEVER RECEIVED 'ANY' POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE RESPONSE FROM THEM.
