2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FILLER NOZZLE WILL EJECT FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE NOZZLE SHUTS THE FUEL OFF UPON FILLING THE TANK. I HAVE HAD ONE INSTANCE OF THE FILLER SPOUT EJECTING BEFORE THE TANK FILLED. *TR

I NOTICED POWER OUTLETS WERE LOOSE INFO DEALERSHIP, PANEL WAS LOOSE AS WELL, DEALERSHIP REPLACED A PIN AND FIX PWR OUTLETS. THIS WAS IN FEB.. A MONTH LATER POWER OUTLET PANEL LOOSE AGAIN, DEALERSHIP REPLACED PIN, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SO MANY TIMES NOW, THIS TIME POWER OUTLET PANEL AS FELL TO THE FLOOR BOARD, I CAN'T BRAKE TO WELL OR ACCELERATE WITH A PANEL BY MY FEET. I HAVE USE THE POWER OUTLET TO RUN A DVD PLAYER AND CELL PHONE CHARGER, PANEL HAS NOT DROP AFTER PULLING THE CHARGER OUT, OF POWER OUTLETS.. JUST WHEN I'M DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD IT FALLS, I HAVE HAD ANOTHER DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THEE PROBLEM AND WAS INFO THAT THEE PANEL WAS BAD. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP OTHER THAN TOYOTA ALSO GOT PANEL IS WORN AND VIBRATIONS IS MAKING THEE PANEL TO FALL...SO I ONLY KNOW I HAVE A PANEL LAYING ON MY FLOOR BOARD ITS HARD TO BRAKE OR TO ACCELERATE. *TR

I RECEIVED A SSC 70B - FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE TWO MONTHS AGO. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER (TOYOTA OF ESCONDIDO), THEY SAID THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX IT. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS TOYOTA BRAND NEW. I HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT THE HORN ON MY TOYOTA NOT BEING VERY LOUD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN THE HORNS OFF AND BOUGHT ANOTHER SET OF HORNS THAT ARE 2 WIRE FOR CONNECTION. YOUR HORN IS ONE WIRE AND THE FRAME OF THE HORN IS THE GROUND. FINALLY I FIGURED OUT, AFTER THE SWITCH, WHY YOUR TOYOTA HORN IS NOT WORKING OR IS WORKING POORLY. YOUR DESIGN RELIES ON THE CASE OF THE HORN GROUNDING TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE FOR THE NEGATIVE POLE. THE WHOLE HORN IS PAINTED SO THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF GROUNDING TO NEGATIVE POLE. THE MOUNTING BRACKET IS PAINTED, FURTHER HAMPERING THE NEGATIVE CONNECTION. THE MOUNTING BOLT AND FRAME ARE PAINTED MAKING A NEGATIVE CONNECTION ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW. THE HORN IS REQUIRED AND SHOULD BE WORKING VERY WELL AND NOT MARGINALLY. THE HORN ON THE TOYOTA IS MARGINALLY SAFE. *JB
