2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FRAME CORROSION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE BED CORROSION WAS CAUSED BY THE FRAME RUST. HOWEVER, TOYOTA REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF THE BED CORROSION. *JB

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR AIRBAG ACTUATORS IN THE RIGHT FRONT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TREASURE COAST TOYOTA ON NOVEMBER 5,2014 AT WHICH TIME THEY DISABLED THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE IN AND REPAIRS WOULD BE DONE WITHIN 2 WEEKS.IT IS NOW MARCH 6TH 2015 AND I`M STILL WAITING FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE PARTS ARE ON INDEFINITE BACK ORDER!!! I WAS TOLD BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP ON OR AROUND FEB. 27TH 2015 THAT THE PARTS FOR MY 2005 VEHICLE WERE THE ONLY ONES ON BACK ORDER. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

THE CONNECTOR ON THE CABLE FROM THE ECU TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE FROM A STANDING STOP IN A MANNER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THANKFULLY THIS DIDN'T OCCUR WHEN PULLING OUT ON A BUSY STREET. THE SITUATION IS DANGEROUS. THE TRUCK ALREADY HAD A FRAME RECALL DUE TO CORROSION. THIS ISSUE IS SIMILAR AND REPRESENTS A DESIGN FLAW WITH DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES. *TR

TOYOTA HAS EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY FOR THE AIR INJECTION PUMP AND AIR SWITCHING VALVES ON 2007-2010 TUNDRAS. THE EXTENSION IS FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FROM FIRST USE. I HAVE A 2005 TUNDRA THAT HAS A FAILING AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. I AM WITHIN THE MILEAGE RANGE OF FIRST USE . THE TRUCK HAS THE SAME AIR INJECTION SYSTEM AS THE TUNDRAS WITHIN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION, BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO HONOR THE WARRANTY EXTENSION ON MY TRUCK. THIS IS A $4000 FIX AND THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THE CURRENT STATE. *TR

I PULLED MY TRUCK OUT OF THE GARAGE (IT WAS BACKED IN) AND WHEN I APPROACHED THE STREET APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK BARELY STOPPED BEFORE ENTERING THE STREET. (DRIVEWAY WAS LUCKILY ON FLAT TERRAIN) I CHECKED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR AND IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. FILLED UP RESERVOIR, PUMPED BRAKES TO GET STIFF PEDAL AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS. COULD FIND NONE SO DROVE TRUCK ON ABOUT 5 MILE ROUNDTRIP. PULLED TRUCK OUT THE NEXT DAY AND RESERVOIR WAS AGAIN EMPTY BUT COULD FIND NO FLUID ON CONCRETE IN GARAGE. FILLED RESERVOIR & BROUGHT TO MY MECHANIC. HE FOUND THAT THE BOOSTER PUMP WAS LEAKING INTO THE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH WAS WHY THERE WAS NOT FLUID ON THE CONCRETE. HE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT SINCE TOYOTA DOES NOT SELL THE COMPONENTS SEPARATELY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. THE BRAKES HAD WORKED PERFECTLY FINE THE PREVIOUS TIME THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN. IN FACT IT WAS DRIVEN OVER 250 MILES ON A HUNTING TRIP THROUGH ROADS THAT RAN ALONG CLIFFS. IF THE BRAKES HAD SUDDENLY FAILED JUST 4 DAYS EARLIER, SOMEONE COULD HAVE DIED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW AND HAD EVERY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM HAS FAILED AND THE TRUCK IS IN LIMP MODE AND WILL NOT DRIVE OR PASS EMISSIONS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE REPAIR IS AROUND 3500 AND THE DEALER NOR TOYOTA CORPORATION WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY PART. EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON 2007 THRU 2010 MODELS WHICH USE THE SAME PARTS. I AM TRYING TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION TO GET SOME RESOLUTION.

I NOTICED A GAS LEAK UNDER THE VEHICLE. TECHNICIAN TOLD ME IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH GAS LEAK. DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR IT AS HE CLAIMS THAT IT IS NOT MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *JS
