2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

NOT LONG AFTER THE LAST TAKATA RECALL,NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 15V286000, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER BECAME STICKY AND DISCOLORED - MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE RECALL AND THE TOYOTA CORPORATION SAID IT IS NOT A TOYOTA ISSUE. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS OWNERS OF A VARIETY OF AUTO MANUFACTURERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ANY DEFECTS RELATED TO AIRBAG COMPONENTS COULD POSE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS CONSTITUTES A " SAFETY PROBLEM " AND ANY KNOWN REMEDY. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that back in 2014 he received a recall notification regarding corrosion on the subframe. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that a black sealant would be sprayed on the subframe to prevent corrosion. Over time, the sealant began to peel, and corrosion started to form on the subframe. The contact called the manufacturer and dealer about the failure but was offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

My vehicle was subject to a frame corrosion Limited Service Campaign. I brought the vehicle in for inspection and was advised there we 2 options: Frame replacement or Corrosion-Resistant Compound treatment. The dealership advised the vehicle did not qualify for frame replacement, and opted to apply CRC. The CRC application was performed June 11, 2014. I have documentation. I was recently advised by my mechanic that the gas tank straps are failing, and they cannot replace them due to corroded frame. The cross member requires total replacement due to extensive frame rotting. I believe that if Toyota had done the responsible thing as part of the recall, and replaced the frame instead of applying CRC, this issue would not occur today. I would respectfully like to request the NHTSA look into this matter.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that upon servicing the vehicle at the independent mechanic, she was informed that the entire subframe was severely corroded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the subframe was severely corroded and had significant holes. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to her brother's residence at a slower speed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist as the vehicle was out warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000. UPDATE 06/07/2023- Consumer mailed letter stated the vehicle was in Ohio with Noxudol 300- 3 liters and 1 liter of another rust prevention product. Consumer had frame inspected.

WE bought this truck in 2016. From Mitchell Selig Ford in Windsor CT. Apparently their was a rust recall in 2015. The dealer did not get this fixed and as a result our truck is completely rusted and unrepairable. We were not aware at all this was a recall as it happened prior to us buying the truck. What can I do about this ? Their is really "no incident" to report. I need to know what Toyota will do about this issue.

There is a bracket under the drivers seat, left side of seat, that is cracked all the way through just above the weld where it attachs to the horizontal tube that rotates when the power lever is pushed forward or backward. This bracket is associated with the "seat back" tilting forward or backward. This bracket being broken, allows the drivers seatback to be unstable and can be tilted forward in the event of an accident.

Purchased used 2006 Toyota Tundra in May 2021. Upon bringing vehicle to Toyota dealer for inspection mechanic informed me that the frame had rust perforations and was unsafe to drive. The condition was not fixed due to exorbitant cost and I was not able to pass inspection.
