2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

I HAD BORROWED MY IN-LAWS TOYOTA TUNDRA WHILE ON VACATION. I HAD PREVIOUSLY TRAVELED DOWN A STREET TO AN INTERSECTION TO GO TO A BANK WHILE MY WIFE WAS VISITING FRIEND WITH NO ISSUES. CAME BACK 1/2 HOUR LATER THROUGH SAME INTERSECTION, AND THE I HIT THE BRAKE TO STOP FOR THE STOP SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE KEPT PROPELLING FORWARD. WHILE I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKE, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE KEPT BEING PROPELLED INTO THE INTERSECTION, WHERE I RAN INTO AN ARMORED VAN. I WAS TICKETED FOR FAILURE TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. THERE WERE 3 PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE, MY WIFE, SON, AND MYSELF. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BE TRADED OFF FOR A NEW ONE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK. I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE THE ACCELERATOR HAS STUCK. BRAKING DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE ACCELERATION. I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND ALMOST WENT THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE TRUCK IS NOT CURRENTLY ON RECALL. *TR

WHY HAVE MY ODI'S NOT BEEN ADDRESSED ? 10183308, 10288886, 10293097, 10293888, 10314732. I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT HAS PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE NOV. 2006. THAT IS WHEN I PURCHASED IT. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME I DIDN'T HAVE REPAIR ORDERS WRITTEN UP. I AM NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT'S FINE. BUT REGARDLESS I WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN OCT. 2009 DUE TO SUA. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALER AND MY INSURANCE CARRIER. THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT BY A FACTORY REP. IT WAS DECIDED BY TOYOTA THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA TO GET AN ESTIMATE ON REPAIRS. THAT WAS A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF JUST UNDER $2000.00. I WAS TOLD NOT TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE UNTIL I HEARD FROM TOYOTA. TO THIS DAY OF MARCH 5, 2010 THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE THE TRUCK FIXED BECAUSE I WAS HOPING TOYOTA WOULD, AS MR. BURTON FROM TEXAS TOLD JIM LENTZ, "IF YOU KNOW WHERE A VEHICLE IS THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED GO GET THAT VEHICLE, I DON'T CARE IF IT COST ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, GO GET THAT VEHICLE. I MUST SAY MR. LAHOOD YOU HAVE DONE THAT. THIS IS THE REASON MINE IS NOT REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN WRITING EMAILS TO ANYONE THAT CARED. THE TRUCK IS STILL HERE? I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH PEOPLE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT GETTING MY VEHICLE PURCHASED BACK AND THEN THEY CAN TEST IT. I'M REMINDED ALL THE TIME THAT MINE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I SAY SO WHAT! IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AND DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO BE A PASSENGER. IT IS A TIME BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF. LIKENED TO RUSSIAN ROULETTE WHENEVER YOU TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE GONE OUT AND "GOT THAT VEHICLE". WHEN SIR, WILL YOU GET MINE? I HATE WASTING MONEY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DISMANTLED AND GONE TROUGH WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB. I ALSO SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY PERSON THAT MAY BUY THE VEHICLE TO DISCLOSE THE IMPERFECTIONS ABOUT THE VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP!!!! *TR

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH WHEN TRUCK SUDDENLY LISTED HEAVILY TO THE LEFT, THE CONTROL ARM AND LOWER BALL JOINT HAD FAILED AND THE TIRE WAS ON THE GROUND, WHEN TOYOTA WAS CONTACTED THEY STATED THAT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT PARTICULAR RECALL DUE TO THE VIN NUMBER. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING AN INSPECTION BY OUR AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY BEFORE BEING REPAIRED AT A RATHER LARGE COST. THEY ALSO TRIED BLAMING THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE OUR TIRES AND ALSO THE COMPANY WHO DOES OUR OIL CHANGERS ETC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE RPMS INCREASED FOR A FEW SECONDS WITHOUT THE CONTACT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO GET IT INSPECTED BY A AUTHORIZED DEALER AND PAY THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE WARRANTY WAS NOT VALID. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THEY ONLY GO BACK AS FAR AS THE 2007 MODEL AND THAT THERE WERE NO KNOWN RECALLS ON THE 2006 MODELS. THE FAILURE WAS 10,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, SHE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITH AN EXTREME FORCE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FAILURE BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR AND THE COMPUTER AND TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER . THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO RESOLUTION WAS MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 66,000.

ODI NUMBERS, 10183308, 10288886, 10293097, 10293888. THESE ARE ODI'S THAT ARE IN REGARDS TO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SAID ALL ALONG THAT THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL. I STILL MAINTAIN THAT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SEEN BY THE FACTORY REP AND RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TMS SAYING THAT EVERYTHING IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THEY EVEN LOOKED AT MY THROTTLE LINKAGE. I DON'T HAVE LINKAGE. SO WHAT ELSE HAVE THEY LOOKED AT. IF IT WORKED AS DESIGNED, WHY DOES IT WORK DIFFERENTLY THAN IT DID WHEN NEW? I HAVE SUGGESTED MANY TIMES OVER THAT TMS TAKE MY TRUCK BACK AND USE IT AS A TEST VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED FOR THAT REASON. MY TRUCK HAS DONE ALL SORTS OF WEIRD THINGS. THAT IS WHY I FEEL THAT IT WOULD MAKE A FANTASTIC VEHICLE TO USE TO FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. NOW I HEAR THAT DURING THE HEARINGS THAT THE CONGRESSMAN FROM TEXAS TOLD THE CEO OF TMS TO GO GET THAT VEHICLE AND USE IT AS A TEST VEHICLE REGARDLESS IF THEY HAD TO PAY ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. THEY CERTAINLY WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ME THAT MUCH, JUST MAKE ME WHOLE. MY TRUCK IS A MOTHER LOAD OF INFORMATION. TMS IS REALLY DROPPING THE BALL ON THIS ONE. I WANT MY DEALER TO WORK WITH ME TO GET TMS TO DO AS THEY SAY THEY WILL DO. MY DEALER SAYS THAT THEIR HANDS ARE TIED. WELL TMS CALL JAPAN AND SEE IF MR. T WILL AGREE WITH ME. THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND I FEEL THAT ONCE THEY START TAKING IT APART THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE EXPOSED. THIS IS THE THIRD TOYOTA TRUCK THAT I HAVE HAD AND WOULD BE PLEASED TO HAVE ANOTHER AS LONG AS IT WAS FREE OF DEFECTS. THE PEDAL THEY ARE GOING TO USE IS GOING TO GIVE THEM MORE PROBLEMS THAN THE ONE THAT IS IN THE TRUCK NOW. IF IT IS STICKING, CREATE A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TO LUBE IT OR WHATEVER IT TAKES. SHORTER PEDAL MEANS FOOT WILL SLIDE OFF, PROBABLY MORE FATIGUE ON THE ANKLE. I JUST WANT THE PEOPLE THAT MADE PROMISES TO KEEP THEM. YOU CAN GET WITH MY DEALERSHIP AND POSSIBLY HELP COME TO A RESOLUTION. THERE IS A PERSON IN ENGLAND THAT IS SHARP ON CRUISE OUT OF CONTROL. *TR
