DRIVESHAFT BROKE AT THE REAR YOKE. METALERGICAL FAILURE. TOYOTA HAS HAD MANY SAFETY RECALLS FOR DRIVESHAFT FAILURES, AS OF 12/27/2018 THEY HAVE NOT HAD A RECALL ON 2010 TUNDRAS. TOYOTA CLEARLY HAS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR MANUFACTURE OF DRIVESHAFTS. NEVER IN MY 43 YEARS OF DRIVING HAVE I EVER HAD A DRIVESHAFT BREAK. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK WHEN SHE NOTICED S SERIOUS VIBRATION AND PULLED THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON AN OFF RAMP TO S HIGHWAY. THE DRIVESHAFT HAD BROKEN AND THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID MY TRUCK HAD NO RECALL ON THE DRIVESHAFT DESPITE ALL OF THEIR PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR DRIVESHAFT PROBLEMS

ENGINE LEAKING OIL WHILE RUNNING AT THE CAM TOWERS ON BOTH SIDES CAUSES OIL TO DRIP ONTO ENGINE EXHAUST HEADER. THIS UNSAFE CONDITION COULD CAUSE A FIRE. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS TO ALL 4.6 AND 5.7 TUNDRA AND SEQUOIA ENGINES PRODUCED AFTER 2007. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURE MADE THESE ENGINES WITH INFERIOR SEALANT AT THE CAM TOWERS.

I NOTICED A RATTLING COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. I STOPPED TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND A BROKEN LEAF SPRING RUBBING AGAINST THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE POSTS DETAILING THE SAME BREAK OF THE LEAF SPRING AND THE RESULTING TIRE DAMAGE ON THE INTERNET.

AIR BAGS (MANUFACTURE UNKNOWN) ON SEPT 29, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH, MY STEERING WHEEL AND KNEE BAGS INFLATED FOR NO REASON. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND LOST SIGHT OF THE ROAD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BECAUSE OF THE FOG ON THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN THE FOG CLEARED, I COULD SEE THAT I WAS GOING TO END UP IN A FIELD AND THAT I HAD CROSSED THE CENTER LINE. I TRIED TO BACK OUT OF THE FIELD BUT COULD NOT BECAUSE OF THE MUDDY CONDITIONS. I CALLED MY WIFE, TOLD HER THE AIR BAGS HAD INFLATED FOR NO REASON. I ASKED HER TO CALL AAA FOR A TOW TRUCK. WHILE SPEAKING TO HER, A MAN WALKED UP TO ASK IF I WAS OKAY. I SAID YES. HE THEN ASKED IF I REALIZED I HAD HIT AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. I WAS NOT. I HAD NOT SEEN ANY OTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE "FOG" FROM THE AIR BAG. I ASKED HIM WHAT VEHICLE AND HE POINTED TO A MAN IN A RED SHIRT STANDING IN FRONT OF A WHITE PICKUP WITH DUEL REAR WHEELS. I TOLD MY WIFE I NEEDED TO GO SEE IF ANYONE WAS INJURED, GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AND WALKED BACK TO THE OTHER TRUCK. NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD BY MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER THAT THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY $7,000 DAMAGE TO THE OTHER TRUCK. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.
