2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

WHEN AT A DEAD STOP, SOMETIMES THE TRUCK WILL LURCH FORWARD SLIGHTLY AS IF HIT FROM BEHIND. IT IS VERY SCARY AS I LET BOTH OF MY CHILDREN BORROW THE VEHICLE AT TIMES. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING ON RECORD OF THIS TYPE COMPLAINT. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS BUT I FINALLY FOUND THIS SIGHT TO REGISTER MY COMPLAINT.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO DISPLAY THE VSC (VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL) LIGHT, CONSTANTLY ON, LAST WEEK WHEN I TURNED IT ON. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ALSO BECAME CONSTANTLY ON. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS GIVING THE FOLLOWING CODES: C1203 - ECM COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT C1232 - DECELERATION SENSOR C1336 - ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF DECELERATION SENSOR UNDONE THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO RE-FLASH THE COMPUTER AND CALIBRATE AFFECTED ITEMS BUT IF IT WASN'T POSSIBLE THAT THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, YAW SENSOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT, TOTALING $1305. 2 HOURS LATER HE CALLED ME BACK TO TELL ME THAT THEY COULDN'T RE-FLASH THE COMPUTER AND THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT THE SENSOR ASSEMBLY, YAW SENSOR BUT THE ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY, TOTALING OVER $2700. I'M REPORTING THIS SINCE I'VE SEEN A BUNCH OF SIMILAR CASES BUT NOTHING CONCRETE FROM TOYOTA. I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THIS ISSUE IS UN-SAFE OR NOT SINCE THERE ARE NO PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS EXCEPT NOT HAVING ABS NOR TRACTION CONTROL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V689000 (VISIBILITY) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECTION.

MY DOOR LOCKS ARE FAILING. I HAVE HAD ALL THE MECHANISMS THAT LOCK AND UNLOCK MY DOORS REPLACED IN 6/2014. I HAD THE DRIVERS DOOR MECHANISM REPLACED A SECOND TIME IN 5/2015. NOW, THE DRIVER DOOR MECHANISM IS FAILING. IF IT IS LOCKED, I CANNOT UNLOCK; IF IT IS UNLOCKED, I CANNOT LOCK IT VIA "ELECTRICAL" FUNCTION. IE: KEY FOB OR DOOR SWITCH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OCCUPANTS WHEN NEEDING TO ENTER THE VEHICLE IF IN UNSAFE AREAS. THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN SOMEONE EXITS AND LEAVES A LOVE ONE INSIDE CREATES AN ISSUE. WE ALL TELL OUR LOVE ONES, "LOCK THE DOORS UNTIL I RETURN" WHEN WE MAKE A QUICK RUN INTO A STORE, ETC. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND MY WIFE JUST THE OTHER DAY. SCARRY!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V689000 (VISIBILITY). THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THE RECALL WAS NOT ABLE TO BE SERVICE DUE TO THE POWER WINDOW CONTROL MODULE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,214. UPDATED 04/06/16*LJ *CN

I BOUGHT MY 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA BRAND NEW IN FEB. 2010, DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT TOYOTA DEALER RECENTLY, ENGINE OIL LEAKING WAS NOTICED BY THE TECHNICIAN. THE REPAIR WAS DONE TO RESEAL BOTH CAM BOX HOUSINGS AND REPLACED SEALS AND GASKETS THAT ARE RELATED. IT COSTED OVER $1800. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE JUST PASSED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, SINCE IT HAS BEEN 5 YEAR AND 11 MONTHS, BUT THE MILEAGE IS AT 38,000, RELATED LOW. I HAVE CONTACED TOYOTA US HEADQUARTER, TOLD THEM THE OIL LEAKING MOST LIKELY STARTED BEFORE 5 YEARS MARK, BUT IT WAS JUST DISCOVERED NOW. THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE THE REPAIR COST. THE DEALER SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN MANY TUNDRA HAD THIS OIL LEAK ISSUE, AND MOST OF THEM WERE WITHIN WARRANTY, SO THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SO FAR, I ALSO DID RESEARCH ON INTERNET, FOUND OTHER PEOPLE HAD THIS OIL LEAK ISSUE FOR THEIR 2010 TUNDRA AND 2011 TUNDRA. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY LET TOYOTA DO A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT!

THE GAS GAUGE IS NO LONGER GIVING ACCURATE READINGS OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE GAS TANK. THE GAS WAS AT 1/4 OF A TANK AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT IT COMPLETELY DIED ON ME. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER THE AAA GUY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE FUEL PUMP MIGHT HAVE GONE OUT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID HE JUST FIXED THE SAME PROBLEM BUT ON A TOYOTA SEQUOIA WHICH IT ENDED UP BEING THE GAS GAUGE NOT READING HOW MUCH GAS IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. AFTER INSPECTION OF MY TRUCK HE SAID THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE THE TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAD THAT HE FIXED . MY TRUCK IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT, IT SHOULDN'T BE GIVING ME THESE PROBLEMS ALREADY.

THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THE RIGHT LIGHT BULB KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. IN ADDITION, THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR HAS LOTS OF RUST, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

FLOOR VENTS FOR THE HVAC JUST STOPPED WORKING. NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO HEAT GOING TO THE FRONT FLOOR VENTS. TRIED ALL THE OTHER VENT SETTINGS AND THEY ALL WORK FINE AS WELL AS THE AUTO SETTING, NOT A GOOD THING TO BE DOING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND WINTER ROAD CONDITIONS. THE DEALER LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM AND REPAIRS START AT 500.00 # 87106D JUST FOR THE ACTUATORS TO BE REPLACED. IT COULD ALSO BE THE WHOLE HVAC UNIT # 87050, 2100.00. CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE ISSUE. CASE # 1511280769 IF THE WINDOW DEFROST VENTS FAIL IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN COLD TEMPS.

I WAS PULLING OUT ON ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRUCK LIT UP AND COULD BARELY GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FROM BEING REAR ENDED. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA, SAID MY AIP PUMP IS BAD, 2150.00 TO FIX, TOYOTA SHOULD REPAIR FOR FREE BEFORE I DIE DRIVING IT
