2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

I HAVE NOTICED AN INCREDIBLE BOUNCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND LOCAL WAY. IT HAS ONLY 1,500 MILES AND THIS DOES NOT SEEM NORMAL AND CONCERNS ME. THE TIRES DOESN'T SEEM TO CHANGE THE BOUNCE EFFECT. I CAN'T EVEN PUT MY FAMILY IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE THEY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AND START BOUNCING EVERYWHERE. THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY BOTOYA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING AT 2 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL RAIL SPLIT AND CAUSING GASOLINE FUEL TO LEAK ONTO THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION AND REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 15,000.

ANOTHER TOYOTA RECALL??? MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 2,500 MILES HAD A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (THE ENGINE BLEW OUT ON THE TRUCK). I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG. I PULLED OVER AND ENGINE OIL WAS DUMPING OUT OF THE ENGINE ONTO THE GROUND. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO STEVINSON WEST TOYOTA - THEY TOOK THE ENGINE APART AND FOUND MULTIPLE HOLES IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THEY ARE STILL NOT TELLING ME THE SOURCE OF THIS ENGINE FAILURE. TOYOTA IS TELLING ME THIS IS A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE, BUT I HAVE BEEN FINDING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER TUNDRA'S (2007-2010), INCLUDING A USA TODAY ARTICLE FROM 2007, "TOYOTA FIXING ENGINE FAILURES IN NEW TUNDRA TRUCKS." AND, WHILE OUR TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP, WE SPOKE WITH ANOTHER TUNDRA OWNER (2009; IN THE SAME SHOP) WHO HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE. EXACT ISSUES FROM SOME OTHER TUNDRA'S ONLINE (HTTP://WWW.TUNDRASOLUTIONS.COM/FORUMS/TUNDRA/186091-ENGINE-BLEW-4K-MILES/)!!! *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 11,000 MILES MY TRUCK ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND WOULD SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON APRIL 16, 2010. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS AFTER MY TRUCK IS WARMED UP - ABOUT AN HOUR OF DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN STALLED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ON I-275, ON SR 60 AND ALMOST STALLED ON SOME RAILROAD TRACKS. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO VARIOUS TOYOTA DEALERS FOR REPAIRS (DEPENDING ON WHERE I BROKE DOWN). THE SERVICE PEOPLE HAVE CHANGED OUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, FUEL PUMP, OXYGEN SENSORS, CAM-SHAFT SENSORS AND COMPUTER HARDWARE. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE WINTER HAVEN, FL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE SINCE MAY 21, 2010 FOR REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA, SINCE THE PURCHASE NOTE THAT SPEEDS UP WHEN I COME TO A STOP, OR JUST WHEN I'M WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION, AND TO BEGIN TO CORRECT SINGLE SPEEDS, AND HE ARRANGED A RECALL OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT EVEN SO I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM A FEW WEEKS AGO, ALMOST HIT WITH MY TRUCK, AN IMMIGRATION OFFICER, WHEN INSPECTING THE TRUCK, AND MY PASSPORT ... THAT SCARED ME A LOT. *TR

THE 2000-2003 MODEL YEAR TOYOTA TUNDRAS HAVE A KNOWN BRAKE ENGINEERING DEFECT. THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS ARE TOO SMALL CAUSING ROUTINE OVERHEATING OF THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. THIS CONDITION WARPS THE BRAKE ROTORS AND CAUSES AN UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE BRAKE RESPONSE. REPEATED RE-SURFACING OR REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS ALWAYS RESULTS IN THE RECURRENCE OF THE WARPAGE DUE TO THE IMPROPERLY SIZED FRONT CALIPERS. TOYOTA QUIETLY ISSUED A TSB IN THE EARLY 2000'S THAT MANDATED INSTALLATION OF LARGER CALIPERS AND REPLACEMENT OF OTHER AFFECTED PARTS. THIS "FIX" HAS NOT BEEN COMMON KNOWLEDGE AMONG AFFECTED CONSUMERS. THIS TSB NOT ONLY ACKNOWLEDGES THE ORIGINAL DESIGN FLAW BUT CONTAINS SPECS AND THE SPECIFIC REMEDY ! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED FOR UNRELATED ISSUES, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS A DIFFERENT TIRE AND WHEEL SIZE THAN THE STOCK ONES THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ACCORDING TO THE OWNERS MANUAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH A DIFFERENT TIRE OR WHEEL SIZE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,500.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2010 TUNDRA TWO WEEKS AGO. WHILE ON HIGHWAY THIS TRUCK SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS BENDING IN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN A CABIN AND A BED. WHILE DRIVING EVERYONE IN THE TRUCK KEEPS BOUNCING OFF THE SEAT AT TIMES. IF THIS WAS DISCLOSED AS "NORMAL" AS DEALER SAYS I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THIS TRUCK. ALSO I NOTICED SCRATCHES STARTED APPEARING ON MY TRUCK AND IT HAS ON 500 MILES ON IT ESPECIAL AROUND DOOR HANDLES. I AM AFRAID TO WASH IT. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL FADES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR PARKED. CAN BE REPEATED EVERY TIME. DEALER CHECKED SYSTEM AND SAID THERE WAS NO DEFECT. "NORMAL OPERATION" TALKED WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RECEIVED SAME ANSWER. *TR

I HAVE MADE A REPORT ON THIS BEFORE BUT IT OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY 4/8/2010. I HAVE A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2010 WHICH ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WHEN I START IT, UP TO 4500-5000 RPM'S . IT WILL REV UP 3-4 TIMES AND THEN BOG DOWN AND DIE, I THEN START IT UP AGAIN AND IT IS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. IT HAS NEVER OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING ALWAYS IN PARK WHEN I FIRST START IT UP. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 2 TIMES EACH TIME FOR A WEEK AND THEY SAY THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THERE IS NO WAY FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF THERE IS ONE. AM I A LIAR LIKE EVERYONE WHO OWNS A TOYOTA? *TR
