2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V285000 (AIR BAGS) IN JUNE OF 2015 AND 07V013000 (SUSPENSION) IN JANUARY OF 2007. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK BED STARTED RUSTING SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE RUSTED FRAME BUT NOT THE BED. SURROUNDING METAL AREA SURROUNDING ALL SCREWS THAT HOLD BED ONTO FRAME COMPLETELY RUSTED. GOLF BALL SIZE HOLES IN BED AS WELL. RUSTING RAPIDLY. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE, THE RESPONSE WAS, "IF WE FIX IT FOR YOU, WE HAVE TO FIX IT FOR EVERYONE." I DO NOT HAVE THE MONIES TO REPAIR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. SPENT TOO MUCH ON THIS VEHICLE. INSIDE BED LOOKS LIKE THE CURRENT PICTURES OF THETITANIC. I AM AT A COMPLETE LOSS. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE SOME BODY WORK DONE ON MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE BODY SHOP OWNER SAID THAT HE SAW THE FRAME WAS EXTREMELY RUSTY AND IN HIS OPINION WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. HE SAID HE REMEMBERED THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL FOR RUSTY FRAMES PREVIOUSLY BUT HE DID NOT REMEMBER WHAT YEARS AND MODELS WERE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HE SUGGESTED I CONTACT TOYOTA. I DID CONTACT TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED IN JULY OF 2015. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2006 AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THE TRUCK. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL AND HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRUCKS. AFTER SPEAKING ON THE PHONE WITH A TOYOTA REPNAD BEING TOLD THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR MY TRUCK I SENT AN EMAIL TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS AND THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY STOOD BEHIND THEIR ORIGINAL RESPONSE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A SAFETY RECALL CAN EXPIRE. THE SAFETY PROBLEM WILL ALWAYS BE THERE UNTIL FIXED. I FEEL I AM NOW DRIVING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD STAND BY WHATEVER THE ORIGINAL REMEDY WAS. *TR

SECONDARY AIR INJECTOR PUMP FAILED. HEAR LOUD VACUUM CLEANER NOISE FROM PUMP WHEN STARTING COLD ENGINE, LASTS FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 67,400 MILES ON IT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR LATER MODELS, NOT 2006'S. $2000 REPAIR.

I SCHEDULED A REPAIR AT DAVE EDWARDS TOYOTA. WAS TOLD TO COME IN AT 10AM, AND I COULD PICK UP THE VEHICLE AT 12 NOON. IT IS A 60 MINUTE DRIVE BOTH WAYS, AND I HAD MY WIFE PICK ME UP AND WHEN I RETURNED AT 12 NOON, THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED, AND WAS NOT GIVEN AN EXPLANATION WHY. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.
