2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

EXCESSIVE RUST PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE. JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND ASSOCIATED PARTS BECAUSE RUST CAUSED DIFFERENTIAL LEAK. COST WAS OVER 3,500. REPLACED RUSTED BRAKE LINES AND CALIPERS. TAILGATE WIRE RUSTED AND BROKE. OPENING MECHANISM TO TAILGATE IS RUSTED AND IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT (IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE) TO OPEN/CLOSE. REAR BUMPER IS RUSTED THROUGH, AND NOT SAFE TO STEP ON. HITCH RECEIVER IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND CANNOT REMOVE HITCH NOW. SKID PLATE AND BRACKETS RUSTED THROUGH - SKID PLATE FELL OFF. DEALER JUST INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND WILL BE REPLACING THE ENTIRE FRAME BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE RUST. *TR

I OWN A 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA. UPON INSPECTION FROM SERVCO TOYOTA, I WAS TOLD MY FRAME HAS HOLES THE SIZE OF QUARTERS THROUGH IT IN SEVERAL PLACES. I WAS ADVISED TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS ONE WAS NO GOOD. I ALSO OWN A 1994 TOYOTA PICKUP AND HAVE NO FRAME OR OTHER ISSUES WITH IT. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY CAN USE SUBSTANDARD METAL ON A TRUCK THAT WAS $29,000 AT PURCHASE, ONLY LASTS 10 YEARS AND IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD. I CANNOT EVER CONSIDER OR RECOMMEND OWNERSHIP OF A TOYOTA AGAIN WITH SUCH TERRIBLE QUALITY. VERY DISMAYED AT THE HORRIBLE CONDITION OF MY 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK FRAME AND THE LACK OF QUALITY FROM A COMPANY THAT AT ONE TIMES NAME MEANT QUALITY. A VERY SAD, DISAPPOINTING AND COSTLY DECISION TO PURCHASE A TOYOTA. *TR

HEAT GENERATED FROM THE CARGO LAMP BULBS HAVE MELTED THE PLASTIC HOUSING COMPLETELY THROUGH. ISSUE WAS FOUND AFTER REMOVING THE LENS COVER TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE BULB. *TR

THE BLOWOUT PANEL ON THE PASSENGER DASH AIRBAG HAS BECOME VERY TACKY AND GOOEY. THE FINISH COMES OFF WHEN RUBBED. *TR

SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY HAS EXCESSIVE CORROSION. SPARE TIRE COULD FALL FROM VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING. THE TUNDRA FRAMES ARE UNDER RECALL FOR RUST, THIS ASSEMBLY IS INCLUDED WITH THE NEW FRAMES. MY TRUCK FRAME IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND DOES NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY AREA OF MY TRUCK WITH RUST IS THE SPARE TIRE ASSEMBLY BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO REPLACE IT. HOW CAN THIS BE PART OF THE REPLACEMENT PACKAGE IF MY ENTIRE FRAME WAS RUSTY, BUT NOT IF IT IS THE ONLY AREA WITH RUST ? SURE SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. *TR

MY TOYOTA TUNDRA IS PART OF THE AIR BAG RECALL. MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE THE PART AND MAY NOT HAVE IT FOR 10 DAYS. IN THE INTERN, THEY HAVE REMOVED MY PASSENGER AIRBAG AND NOW NO ONE CAN RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN COMPLETED. I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 SO NOW I CAN ONLY RIDE 3 PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE. IT HAS BECOME A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I REQUESTED A RENTAL FROM MY DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DECLINED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY YESTERDAY(1-888-270-9371) AND WAS TOLD TO EXPECT A CALL BACK WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE 24 HOURS HAVE PASSED AND NO CONTACT BACK FROM TOYOTA. *TR
