2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" ON OR AROUND AUGUST 23, 2016 I CALLED A TOLL FREE PHONE NUMBER EITHER OFF A RECALL NOTIFICATION FLYER I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL OR FROM A VOICE MESSAGE ON OUR HOME PHONE REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR ON MY 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK. THEY ASKED WHERE I WANTED MY VEHICLE FIXED AND I CHOSE WILDE TOYOTA (3225 S 108TH ST, WEST ALLIS, WI) SINCE THAT IS WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND HAVE DONE A VARIETY OF REPAIRS ON THIS AND OTHER VEHICLES. THE OPERATOR CALLED THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND I WAS NOTIFIED THE PART WOULD NEED TO BE ORDERED. I WASN'T GIVEN ANY TIME FRAME, BUT I ASSUMED IT COULDN'T TAKE LONG. I CALLED WILDE TOYOTA TODAY (SEPTEMBER 13, 2016), AND I WAS INFORMED IT WAS ORDERED AS PROMISED, BUT IT WOULD TAKE 3 MONTHS!! I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS. I WAS TOLD I SHOULDN'T HAVE SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HOW DOES TOYOTA EXPECT A VEHICLE TO BE USED FOR 3 MONTHS WITHOUT ALLOWING A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T HAVE AN INVENTORY ON HAND TO HANDLE QUICK TURNAROUND. I UNDERSTAND IT COULD BE HARD TO MANAGE , BUT 3 MONTHS IS RIDICULOUS.

SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE, CAUSING THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND FAIL STATE EMOTIONS TESTING.

UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION: MY HUSBAND'S 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA ACCELERATED AT A VERY HIGH SPEED WHILE HE HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AT A STOP SIGN. HE HAD HIS BACK PUSHED UP AGAINST THE SEAT AND PUSHED AS HARD AS HE COULD ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE TRUCK TOOK OFF ANYWAYS AND HE WAS FORCED TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY HE WASN'T HIT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS TRUCK. IN JANUARY OF 2015 HE WAS BACKING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN HIS TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A VERY HIGH SPEED. HE PUT HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE TIRES KEPT SPINNING. HE PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND AFTER A FEW MORE SECONDS THE TIRES STOPPED SPINNING. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA AFTER BOTH OCCURRENCES, BUT THEY WON'T HELP US AT ALL. THEY SAY THAT THE TRUCK ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.
