2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM RELATED TO THE AIRBAG RECALL THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 2002 MODEL YEAR TOYOTA TUNDRA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS SEVERE FRAME RUST. THE VEHICLE RECEIVED AN UNDERCOATING; HOWEVER, IT FAILED TO ELIMINATE FURTHER FRAME RUST. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD FRACTURE WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSED SEVERE INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,298.

MY FIRST ISSUE WAS 3 YEARS AGO WHEN MY MUFFLER WAS SO RUSTED AWAY I FELT SOMETHING DRAGGING PULLED OVER AND SEEN MY MUFFLER HAD FALL ALMOST OFF HANGING THERE. THE NEXT YEAR I PULLED INTO MY WORK AND ALL MY STUDS ON MY TIRE BROKE AND MY TIRE AND RIM WENT ONE WAY AND ME AND THE TRUCK WENT OTHER WAY. NOW MY BRAKES KEEP STICKING THEN THEY FINALLY JUST STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER AFTER REPLACING PADS. I HAVE WENT THUR 3 SETS OF TIRES IN 4 YEARS. I HAVE IT IN THE SHOP AND THEY ARE SAYING MY BRAKE LINES ARE COMPLETELY CORRODED AND FALLING APART.

OUR 2002 TUNDRA AIRBAGS HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND A WARNING LIGHT HAS APPEARED, PER MECHANIC THEY WILL NOT INFLATE IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IT STATES THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

WE HAVE A SERIOUS RUST ISSUE WITH OUR 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA. TOYOTA REPLACED A FRAME BUT REATTACHED ALL THE ALREADY RUSTED PIECES BACK ONTO THE NEW FRAME. THE BREAK LINE HAS RUSTED THROUGH ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WE HAVE GONE THROUGH A RED LIGHT & STOP SIGN. NO WAS HURT, WE WERE LUCKY BUT THIS TRUCK IS A DEATH TRAP. WE HAVE HIT THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE TRYING TO GET IT OUT OF GEAR BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SO RUSTED. WE HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA & HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A MAINTENANCE ISSUE NOT A DEFECT. THIS TRUCK 100% A DEFECT! IT IS A PILE OF METAL SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PUT MY FAMILY IN IT. IT US IRRESPONSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLES, SO IN OUR & THE PUBLICS BEST INTEREST IT SITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY.
