Toyota has a Service Campaign and Warranty Enhancement Program for Tundra but not this year- built 9/2010 San Antonio but listed as 2011 model on VIN.

Horn stopped working right after I bought this truck from a dealer. I did some research on why it stopped. I was told and also read that it was the air bag clock spring. This controls the air bags and horn and other components. What it is the clock spring was installed by Toyota that had a bad spot on it. This causes the wiring harness to start rubbing and cutting into the wires. Would cause the horn to stop working and the air bags not to work and other things that is wired to this harness also. This should be a safety concern, and Toyota needs to recall to fix. Read that the 2011 Toyota's was bad for doing this. Costing the customer about $800.00 to fix. I have the truck about 3 months. Might be the reason it was traded in. Works some times and doesn't work. I am worried the air bags will deploy if not fixed. Please check into this. I would like to know what you find out before I spend the money to get it fixed On Social Security and don't have that much money in hand to have fixed.

I did van limited inspection at the lot and a test drive.. found nothing that stuck out.. other than the radio not working but the dealership said he would reimburse me if I got it fixed..so after that a down payment was made of $5550 dollars and paperwork was signed.. I drove the truck home and the next week I got in it and it wouldn't start, turns out it needed a battery and alternator, so I took it to a shop and was told that this vehicle was badly rusted and had a lot of hidden rust damage.. and improperly installed brakes., coolant leaks and exhaust leaks.. after finding this out I tried to call the dealership and he hasn't been replying..

1. The secondary air injection valve and/or air injection pump. 2. Sometimes the vehicle will go into "limp" mode and only go 35 mph. If the switch valve is stuck "closed" like mine, the car may not be able to dilute the exhaust fumes and the fumes and travel into the cabin of the vehicle. 3. Yes, check engine light code was read as P2441. 4. No, the vehicle can not be driven at this time. 5. No, and around July 24th the check engine light came on. The symptoms continued to get worse. In short, Toyota has issued extended warranties and reimbursements for this design flaw for Tunda's 2007-2010. The design flaw being the air pumps allow water and debris to be sent into the air injection valves. My truck being a 2011 was never alerted to this issue or covered due to the year of my vehicle. The issue is my truck is the SAME generation truck as the 2007-2010 trucks. Which means I too have the design flaw as well but Toyota is refusing to fix their mistakes. After further inspection of my truck, see attached pictures, there is obvious water in the valve system and it has been rusted as well (unable to clean it). My issue is Toyota only covering half of the generational years for a design flaw that is also in the other half. These repairs can range from $2k-$4k and it seems as Toyota only made the extension to the most relevant truck years at the time and left everyone else behind.

THE LENS COVER ON VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT CLEAR AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF USE, THEY ARE BECOMING FOGGED OVER BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND THE SAND FROM OTHER VEHICLES GOING DOWN THE ROAD SANDBLAST THEM. THIS CAUSES THE HEADLIGHT TO NOT PROJECT THE LIGHT DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OUT DRIVE THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS CAN CAUSE VEHICLE ACCIDENTS AND PEDESTRIAN INVOLVED ACCIDENTS. THEY USED TO BE MADE FROM GLASS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED. THANK YOU.

I PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO CLOSE A GATE ON MY FARM PROPERTY. WHEN I REALIZED THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS, I TRIED TO GET BACK IN TO STOP IT. THE DOOR KNOCKED ME DOWN AND PICK UP ALMOST RAN OVER ME. I DID A BACKWARDS SUMMERSALT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ROLLING PICKUP. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET UP AND GET TO PICK UP, IT HAD SLOWED DUE TO THE JACK KNIFING OF THE BALE BUGGY I WAS TOWING. PLASTIC AND RUBBER IN THE SHIFTER HAD TO BE PUSHED BACK INSIDE SHIFTER CASE BEFORE I COULD PUT BACK IN PARK POSITION. LATER THAT SAME DAY, I PUT IN PARK IN PARKING LOT AND IT JUMPED INTO REVERSE AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS STILL IN VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE SHIFTER CONSOLE BUT ACTUAL PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES. TWICE I WAS OUT OF VEHICLE. TWICE I WAS STILL IN DRIVERS SEAT. ONLY ONE TIME DID THIS PROBLEM RESULT IN INJURY.

I WAS FINISHED DOING MY OIL CHANGE AND NOTICED MY RACK AND PINION BOOT HAD AN OIL LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, I WIPED IT OFF AND IT SEEMS LIKE A SMALL LEAK FOR NOW. THE TRUCK ON HAS 73.2K MILES ON IT AND IT'S COMPLETELY STOCK, NO MODIFICATIONS AT ALL. IT'S A DAILY DRIVER AND IS STRICTLY STREET DRIVEN, NO OFF ROADING. THE RACK AND PINION SHOULDN'T LEAK AT ALL WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE AND BEING STOCK.

I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT A NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK (FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND SHAFT) WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING STILL ON COLD AND AT A SPEED LOWER THAN 50MPH. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT COULD LEAD ME TO HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT INTO THE CITY. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAIN WITH ABSOLUTELY NEW TUNDRAS. I WONDER IF IT IS ABOUT TIME FOR TOYOTA TUNDRA PUT HANDS ON IT AND FIX THIS OLD PROBLEM.

THE AIR PUMP WAS FAILED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AROUND 22,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED AT LOW SPEED 10MPH TO DEALER. IT WAS FIXED. RIGHT NOW AT 27,300 MILE TOWER CAM SEAL WAS LEAKED AND OIL WAS DRIPPED ON EXHAUST WITH SMELL AND SMOKED IN COLD DAYS. IT IS VERY SCARY DANGER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ABOUT MY TRUCK. I DID CALL TOYOTA CORPORATE FOR RECALL, BUT THEY DENIED! THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE CAM TOWER SEAL IS LEAKED BUT IT IS STARTING DRIPPING MORE NOW. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME TO CALL THEM AGAIN. TOYOTA CORPORATE KEEP DENYING!! I URGED TOYOTA COMPANY IMMEDIATELY TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAIL PRODUCT. IT MAY GET FIRE BECAUSE THE OIL DRIPPING ON THE EXHAUST, PASSENGER SIDE. PLEASE SERIOUSLY TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS AN INTERMITTENT RUBBING OR METAL-ON-METAL GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR WHEELS WHEN MAKING TURNS. INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE REAR BRAKE DISKS ARE RUBBING ON THE METAL BRAKE DISK SHIELD DURING LATERAL LOADING EXPERIENCED IN TURNS. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MORE FREQUENT AND MORE PRONOUNCED OVER THE PAST 12-18 MONTHS AND 10-15K MILES. TOYOTA BELIEVES THE CAUSE IS FAILED REAR AXLE BEARINGS. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 72K MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AND AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (T-SB-0013-13) ON THE ISSUE BUT THEY CLAIM THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND WILL NOT WARRANTY THE PROBLEM. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT OF A MAJOR DRIVE TRAIN SYSTEM AND NOT NORMAL WEAR.
Complaints 1-50 of 134, newest first, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
