2015 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

BFGOODRICH RUGGED TERRAIN TIRES P275/55R20 ARE NOT SAFE. MY TIRES BEGAN TO SHOW SEPARATION AT TREAD LINE AT 10,000MILES TAKEN TO DEALER AND OFFERED 65%, DECLINED AND WENT TO TIRE STORE AND OFFERED 85%. I AM MONITORING TIRES CURRENTLY.

MY INTERGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER( PART # 89547-0C010) IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT PROVIDES BRAKING TO MY TRAILER ONLY BY USING THE MANUAL SLIDE. WHEN BRAKING, I FEEL NO BRAKING THE TRAILER.

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE OR DOOR BUTTON. FIRST THE DRIVERS DOOR ACTED UP THEN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR NOW THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR IS DOING IT. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME

PARKING BRAKE BEGAN TO FAIL AT HOLDING MY TUNDRA STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY (WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY A 16% GRADE) AT 10,892 MILES. FIRST SERVICE COMPLAINT TOYOTA FOUND THE PARKING BRAKE TO BE OPERATIONAL BUT ADJUSTED IT. ON MY WAY HOME, THIS ADJUSTMENT CAUSED THE LEFT PARKING BRAKE SHOE TO HEAT UP AND STICK CAUSING A 'DEATH WOBBLE'. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. TOYOTA OF NWA WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE DURING A TEST DRIVE TO A ROAD OF EQUAL GRADE AS MY DRIVEWAY. PARKING BRAKE SHOES WERE REPLACED AND INSIDE OF ROTORS MACHINED. PARKING BRAKE OPERATED NORMALLY FOR ONLY A FEW WEEKS THEN BEGAN TO FAIL AGAIN. TOYOTA SENT A SPECIALIST TO EVALUATE THE FAILURE. AFTER SPENDING ONLY 2 HOURS INSPECTING AND TESTING ON A RAMP, DEALER STATED PARKING BRAKE OPERATING NORMALLY BUT ADJUSTED THE CABLE FROM 12-13 CLICKS TO 8-9 CLICKS. PARKING BRAKE BEGAN TO FAIL TWO DAYS LATER AND PARKING BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL TAKES 15 CLICKS TO THE FLOOR AND MY TUNDRA STILL ROLLS WHEN IN NEUTRAL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. METAL POPPING AND CLANKING SOUNDS COMING FROM REAR END AFTER PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED, TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED INTO 'PARK' AND VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE PARKING BRAKE FAILURE POSES A SAFETY RISK FOR SERIOUS INJURIES AND EVEN DEATH TO MY FAMILY AS MY HOUSE IS AT THE BOTTOM OF MY DRIVEWAY. DEMAND LETTER FOR REFUND SENT TO TOYOTA.

2015 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BRAKE FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AS HE WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, HE ATTEMPTED SO SLOW DOWN. CONSEQUENTLY, HE REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION, THE CONTACT STEERED THE VEHICLE INTO AN EMBANKMENT. ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED EXCEPT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE ENCOUNTERED MUCH CONFUSION SURROUNDING THE VERBIAGE ON THE TIRE RATING STICKER ON MY VEHICLE. I SUSPECT WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS PLUS CARGO IS MEANT TO INCLUDE ALL WEIGHT APPLIED TO THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING HITCH WEIGHT. YET BOTH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND ALSO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, HAVE TOLD ME THAT 'CARGO' DOES NOT INCLUDE HITCH WEIGHT. CARGO IS UNDERSTOOD TO BE IN THE TRUCK AND NOT EXTERNAL TO THE TRUCK. THE IMPLICATION IS THAT CURB WEIGHT IS NEEDED IN ORDER TO CALCULATE PAYLOAD WHEN TOWING BECAUSE THE OCCUPANTS PLUS CARGO STICKER DOESN'T APPLY. IN MY CASE THE CURB WEIGHT PROVIDED TO ME PRIOR TO PURCHASE WAS INCORRECT AND AS A RESULT I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE WHICH HAS A PAYLOAD RATING THAT IS INADEQUATE TO TOW MY TRAILER. I BELIEVE THE TIRE RATING STICKER IS A NHTSA REQUIREMENT? WHAT DOES THE WORD CARGO ON THAT STICKER MEAN? WHY DO YOU NOT REQUIRE THE WORD 'PAYLOAD'? *TR
