2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS, THIS LOOKS SIMILAR TO ODI ID NUMBER : 10222095 DATE OF FAILURE: MARCH 21, 2008. I WAS AT A DEAD STOP. I TURNED MY STEERING TO THE LEFT AS POSSIBLE. AS I WAS ROUNDING THE TURN SLOWLY, THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST. I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THE U-TURN COMPLETELY. I HAD TO RUN OFF OF THE ROAD. AFTER DRIVING STRAIGHT TO REPAIR SHOP, THE MECHANIC SAID THE RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE RODS WERE BENT TO WHAT LOOKED LIKE COULD HAVE BEEN SERVICE WORK RELATED TO THE BALL JOINT RECALL. I'VE ONLY GOT 19800 MILES ON A 2006 TUNDRA CREW CAB. NO WAY THIS SHOULD OCCUR WITH THIS FEW MANY MILES. I'M JUST GLAD I WASN'T AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND TRYING TO ROUND A CURVE. I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH AND NOT USED ON A FARM. IT'S BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR SO IT SHOULDN'T HAVE CAUSED THAT MUCH STRAIN ON THE RACK. *TR

MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS FRAME RUST ISSUES. TRUCK IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. TOOK DELIVERY OF BRAND NEW TRUCK ON JANUARY 27, 2007. NOW WHERE MY TRUCK IS PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY THERE ARE MAJOR RUST STAINS ON THE DRIVEWAY. AGAIN, TRUCK IS DRIVEN IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY AREA, IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD, HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AND IS SHOWING SIGNS OF RUST ON FRAME THAT ARE SO BAD THAT IT IS STAINING THE DRIVEWAY. NOTIFIED TOYOTA TODAY, AND WILL GET THE TRUCK INSPECTED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA SOON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE DRIVER-SIDE ALL WEATHER FLOOR-MAT BECAME STUCK UNDERNEATH OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE THEN ACCELERATED UP TO 110 MPH. HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON, PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND THEN PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. IT TOOK 1/4 OF A MILE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AFTER HE DISCONTINUED VEHICLE OPERATION HE REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT FROM UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. HE CONTACTED THE DEALER, BUT THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY A REMEDY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

TOYOTA TUNDRA 2006 DOUBLE CAB 4WD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I WAS 4 WHEELING AND STOPPED BEHIND A POLARIS, BY APPROXIMATELY 5 FEET. I WAS IN DRIVE AND 4WD AND BRAKES APPLIED. I STOPPED BECAUSE THE POLARIS HAD STOPPED. ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED MY TUNDRA LUNGED FORWARD AT A VERY HIGH RPM CRASHING INTO THE POLARIS. AT THAT POINT I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. HAD I NOT RESPONDED WITH THE ACTION I TOOK I WOULD HAVE SHOVED THE POLARIS WITH 2 PEOPLE INTO A VERY DEEP WASH. NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DAMAGE DONE TO MY TOYOTA. THE TOYOTA HAS MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. HAD I NOT TAKEN THE ACTION THAT I DID, WE ALL WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN THE DEEP WASH WITH MAJOR INJURIES. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I IMMEDIATELY CALLED TIM'S TOYOTA IN PRESCOTT ARIZONA WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE 2 PEOPLE THAT COULD HELP ME WITH THE SITUATION WERE NOT AVAILABLE SO A CALL TO THEM TOMORROW WILL BE IN ORDER. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED MY INSURANCE AS YET AS I FEEL THAT TOYOTA IS THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY FOR THE ACCIDENT. I HAD WRITTEN TO YOU QUITE A LONG TIME AGO REGARDING THE CRUISE CONTROL SURGING TO 5000 RPM'S WHEN APPROACHING EVEN A MINOR INCLINE. SO I DON'T USE IT ANYMORE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK INTO MY GARAGE FOR FEAR THAT THE TRUCK WILL LUNGE FORWARD, ONLY THIS TIME IT WILL CRASH INTO MY HVAC AND WATER HEATER, BOTH ARE ON PROPANE. *TR

THE RIGHT FRONT STEERING TIE ROD ON MY 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA RUSTED AND TOTALLY DISCONNECT. I HAVE 48000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA COMPANY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS CONNECT TO THE BALL JOINT RECALL PROBLEM ON THE TOYOTA TUNDRA. *TR

2006 TUNDRA CREW CAB WINDOW DEFECT IN THE MECHANISM MADE WINDOW FALL OUT. WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY AS COMMON PROBLEM BUT WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT. IF A COMMON PROBLEM SEEMS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

RATTLING NOISE (LIKE A LOOSE WASHER AROUND A BOLT) UNDER THE FIREWALL. LOUDEST AT 1200-1800 RPMS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP 15 TIMES BEFORE A MECHANIC ACTUALLY HEARD IT. MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING. *TR
