2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V286000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, BUT THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE MODULE BEHIND THE DASHBOARD DID NOT BELONG TO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS REPLACED WITH A REFURBISHED AIR BAG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

URGENT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN ONLY GET 1 REPAIR KIT A WEEK FROM TOYOTA, SO IT WILL BE 2 MONTHS BEFORE WE CAN GET THIS FIXED. IN THE MEANTIME, WE ARE TOLD NO ONE SHOULD RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A TIMELY REMEDY TO A DANGEROUS DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL STARTED ALMOST A YEAR AGO FOR THE LOS ANGELES AREA. THE SUGGESTION TOYOTA GAVE ME UNTIL THE INFLATOR IS AVAILABLE IS TO TRANSPORT NO PERSON IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS OUR ADVENTURE VEHICLE: SNOWBOARDING, KAYAKING, ROAD BIKING, MOUNTAIN BIKING, CAMPING, SCUBA DIVING, ETC. I DO ALL OF THE THINGS WITH MY WIFE AND FRIENDS. AM I REALLY EXPECTED TO TRANSPORT NO ONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR THIS LONG? IT IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO PUT MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS EITHER AT RISK OR TO MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO USE MY TRUCK THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED TO BE USED. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IT IS TAKING TOO LONG TO GET THE INFLATOR NEEDED FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

I RECEIVED A RECALL AFTER BEING ASSIGNED TO GTMO CUBA. I HAVE HAD MANY HONDA VEHICLES HAVE THEIR AIR BAGS THAT WERE RECALLED REPLACED HERE IN GUANTANAMO BAY,CUBA. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND GOT NO RESPONSE ON SENDING A REPRESENTATIVE TO REPAIR ANY VEHICLES ON THIS MILITARY INSTALLATION. I HAVE SENT SEVERAL EMAIL WITH NO AVAIL. PLEASE ASSIST ALL US FAULTY TOYOTA OWNERS IN CUBA. HONDA HAS STEPPED UP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO HELP SAILORS AND SOLDIERS HERE PROTECT THEIR FAMILIES.

WHILE TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER ON A MOUNTAIN PASS FREEWAY IN WA STATE WITH NO SHOULDER. GOING UP THE HILL AND STARTED TO PUT THE FOOT DOWN ON GAS TO GET SPEED UP FOR THE UPCOMING STEEP HILL, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL POWER WAS LOST, ENGINE WENT INTO LIMP MODE WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. I HAD TO TRAVEL AT 8MPH, UP THE HILL UNTIL I FOUND A SUITABLE PULL OUT SPOT FOR THE TRUCK AND 30FT TRAILER. I WAS ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS GOING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2X, BOTH IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. THE FIRST TIME WAS ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT IN AND THE DEALER WAS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP OUT. BUT THEY WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO CHARGE $100 TO TELL ME IT WOULD COST $4200 TO REPAIR IT, INCLUDING THE SECONDARY $1800 EGC VACUUM PUMP, WHICH ONLY RUNS, AS THE DEALER TOLD ME, 30-45 SECONDS AT START UP, THEN THE PUMP DOES NOTHING. WHY DOES THIS OCCUR AFTER RUNNING 2+ HOURS?? THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS TOWING THE SAME TRAILER AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE ENDING UP GOING ONLY 8 MPH UPHILL AGAIN ON THE HIWAY W/60MPH LIMIT!! THIS TIME AT THE ADVICE OF A FRIEND, ONCE OUT OF TRAFFIC. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR 10 MINUTES, RECONNECTED IT AND THE COMPUTER HAD RESET ITSELF AND THE TRUCK RAN FINE THE LAST 45 MINUTES HOME. I NO LONGER TRAVEL THAT ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER AS I AM AFRAID IT'S GOING TO CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE 05-06 MODELS. YET ARE FIXING IT UNDER RECALL ON 07+ MODELS BUT WON'T HELP ANYONE ELSE WITH AN '06 OR OLDER. THIS IS MY 3RD TOYOTA AND LAST. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD 60000 MILES, THE 2ND TIME IT WAS AT 68500 MILES. I ONLY HAVE 87500 ON IT NOW, AT 10 1/2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. I AM ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR A TRUCK THAT HAS A COMPANY THAT WILL STAND BEHIND ITS BRAND. I'M DONE WITH TOYOTA. THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED MY AIRBAGS EITHER!!
