2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW TOYOTA TRUCK. I STEP ON THE REAR BUMPER WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND NEARLY BROKE MY LEG, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR BUMPER APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN ALREADY BROKEN. WHEN I TOOK THE NEW TOYOTA TRUCK TO THE PARKER TOYOTA COEUR D'ALENE IDAHO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THE REAR BUMPER WAS UNDER RECALL. A "...EQUIPPED WITH RESIN REAR STEP BUMPERS AND RESIN REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS AT EACH CORNER." YET THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THIS I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THIS CRACKED BUMPER. THE BUMPER EVENTUALLY CAME OFF ON THE FREE WAY AND BROKE APART. I RETURNED AFTER PARKER TOYOTA IN COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO HAD THE PARTS AND I HAD THE TIME. BOB TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE BUMPER. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THAT I STEPPED ON THE PICKUP TRUCK'S BUMPER. I CALLED TOYOTA AND MY CASE NUMBER IS CASE NUMBER: 170-906-0652 JEREMY. THEY SAID PARKER TOYOTA REPORTED THAT THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE TRUCK, AND ALSO SINCE I STEPPED ON THE BUMPER THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE BUMPER. IF THERE IS ANY DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK, IT IS TINY AND IT HAD TO HAPPEN AFTER THE BUMPER WAS OFF THE TRUCK. TO HAVE ANY DAMAGE TO THE BODY AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO "THROUGH" THE BUMPER. I HAVE DRIVEN AROUND WITH THE CAR FOR NEARLY 1 YEAR AFTER THE BUMPER FELL OFF A NEW TOYOTA TRUCK. STEPPING ON A BUMPER, WHICH IS A VERY NORMAL THING TO DO WITH A PICKUP TRUCK SHOULD NOT VOID THE RECALL. IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT A BRAND NEW TRUCK HAD A RESIN BRACKET THAT GAVE WAY, INJURING ME, AND BECOMING A ROAD HAZARD. TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO PAY TO FIX THEIR PROBLEMS.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME, THE WHOLE LIGHTING INCLUDE HEADLIGHT AND INSIDE LIGHT LIKE ODOMETER SCREEN, NAVIGATION SCREEN COMPLETELY BLACK OUT FOR FEW SECOND SOMETIME NEAR A MINNUTE. ITS ONLY HAPPEN WHEN THE BLINKERS ITS USED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V051000 (STRUCTURE); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (TOYOTA OF EASLEY, EASLEY, SC, 864-855-2233) AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER SCRAPED A CEMENT-BLOCK, CAUSING SOME MINOR COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER COVER IN AUGUST 2016. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FINE, BUT LATER ON I DID STEP ON THE BUMPER AND HEARD A CRACK AND THE BUMPER COLLAPSED. LATER I FIND OUT THAT FROM THE RECALL NOTICE THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM. AFTER CONTACTING LOCAL DEALER LANCASTER TOYOTA, CORPORATE 1 800 NUMBER, AND EMAIL CORPORATE ALL WERE NOT ABLE TO HELP ME. THEY ALL REFUSE TO FIX THE RECALL DUE TO DAMAGE, BUT THE DAMAGED AREA IS THE RECALLED REINFORCEMENT BRACKET. ALL THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BECAUSE I DID STEP STEP ON IT. I DID TRY TO WORK WITH THEM IN CAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO REPLACE THE OUTER BUMPER COVER THAT IS SCRATCHED, BUT THEY TELL ME I NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE WHOLE THING BEFORE THE RECALL IS DONE. THE PROBLEM IS IF I FIX THE WHOLE AREA THERE IS NOT NEED FOR THE RECALL WORK TO BE DONE BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR IT. THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A CLEAR ANSWER IF I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE RECALLED WORK.

THIS IS ABOUT THE RECALL ABOUT THE REAR BUMPER. I GOT A NOTICE ABOUT THIS AND HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO SEE IF MY TRUCK WAS ONE THEY RECALLED AND IT WAS AND THEY DONT HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. BEEN WAITING NOW OVER 2 MONTHS. WHAT HAPPENS IF I STEP ON IT AND BREAK MY LEG AND THE BUMPER. ITS TAKING WAY TO LONG.

ELECTRIC BRAKE CONTROLLER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED NHTSA ON THIS PROBLEM.

ON OUR 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA 4X4 CREW CAB TRUCK MY TIRES ARE ALREADY WORN OUT. THEY ONLY HAVE 17000 MILES ON THEM. THE TREAD ON THE TIRES ARE 5/30 2ND. WE ROTATE EVERY 3000 TO 5000 MILES. WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FOR TOWING OUR 20 FT TRAILER AND HAVE TAKEN 3 SHORT VACATIONS (ABOUT 1 WEEK EACH) AND THERE IS HARDLY ANY TREAD LEFT ON THEM. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS AND DO NOT DRIVE RECKLESSLY. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO WITH TAKING THESE ON MORE TRIPS. I DO HAVE PICTURES OF MY TIRES IF NEEDED.

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE, I'VE NOTICED THE FRONT SENSORS (INTERMITTENTLY) KEEP GOING OFF. THIS HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE EVERY OTHER WEEK. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, AT THIS TIME CAN'T DETERMINE WHAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THE RADIO SHUTS OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN COMES BACK ON.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WITH TOYOTA OF DEERFIELD BEACH 1441 S FEDERAL HWY, DEERFIELD BEACH, FL 33441 (954) 719-0330. WHEN THE CONTACT ARRIVED, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

HAVE HAD BRAKING ISSUES WITH INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER, NO MATTER WHAT POWER LEVEL I USE THERE SEEMS TO BE VERY LITTLE IF NO EFFECT ON THE TRAILER BRAKING. I CAN SWITCH THE INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER TO ELECTRIC OVER HYDRAULIC AND THEY APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY GRAB IMMEDIATELY, IT SEEMS THAT THE INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER IN ELECTRIC BRAKE MODE DOES NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH ELECTRICAL POWER TO ACTIVATE THE TRAILER BRAKES.
