2012 Toyota Tundra Complaint Log

MONDAY, JANUARY 15TH I DROVE AT 65 MPH TO WORK AT AND HOME ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY DUE TO COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS IN HOUSTON, TEXAS. THURSDAY MORNING THE 18TH, I DROVE AT 65 MPH TO WORK VIA FREEWAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER LUNCH I DROVE AT 45 MPH BACK TO WORK ON A STREET AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE TRUCK THEN STARTING DRIVING EXTREMELY SLUGGISH AND AND FAR BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT OBSTRUCTING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I CAREFULLY GOT OVER AND DROVE THE TRUCK ONLY ALLOWED AT 30 MPH BACK TO THE OFFICE. AFTER CAREFULLY DRIVING HOME VIA STREET AT THE END OF THE DAY I GOT HOME AND REMOVED THE NEGATIVE WIRE FROM BATTERY AND RE-CONNECTED IT TO SEE IF THIS WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. AFTER DOING SO, THE RESULTS WERE THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH WERE NOW OFF AND THE TRUCK DROVE PROPER WITH NO HINDRANCE. THIS WOULD LAST UNTIL WEDNESDAY 24TH. BOTH LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND THE TRUCK STARTED AGAIN DRIVING SLUGGISHLY. ITS SEEM THAT WHEN THE LIGHT IS OFF THE TRUCK DRIVES FINE, BUT WHEN IT IS TRIGGERED THE TRUCK IS DRIVES EXTREMELY SLUGGISH. COULD THE BE A DEFECTIVE PART? ANY HELP WOULD BE USEFUL.

2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DOOR HANDLES STICKING OPEN ON VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING. UPDATED 11/08/2017*JS

HORN STOPPED WORKING BEFORE 100,000 MILES AND DEALERSHIP WON'T REPLACE IT. WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $600 TO FIX. VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ANY WRECK TO CAUSE HORN DAMAGE. IT IS DUE TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT FROM TOYOTA. SEATBELT LATCH DOESN'T CONNECT SEATBELT SOMETIMES AND ALSO WON'T RELEASE AT TIMES WHEN ATTACHED.

LOST POWER STEERING . MECHANIC SAYS NEED RACK AND PUMP REPLACED

DRIVING MY 68000 MILE 4 YEAR OLD TUNDRA ON BACK ROAD ABOUT 45 MPH AND STEERING LOCKED UP, AND STARTED SHUTTERING. WAS ABLE TO SLAM ON BRAKES AND GET OFF THE ROAD ONLY TO FIND POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION WAS BLOWN OUT AND FLUID EVERYWHERE . THIS IS NO A ISSUE OF WEAR ITS AN ISSUE OF DEFECT PARTS IN THESE TUNDRAS , THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHERS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE . THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SEVERELY INJURED FROM THIS. WAITING ON PICTURES FROM THE DEALER AND CAN SEND THEM TO YOU. TOYOTA CLAIMS STEERING RACK WENT BAD DUE TO DUST BOOT BEING RIPPED AND OUTSIDE DEBRIS CAUSING SEAL FAILURE, BUT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH VEHICLE WHILE ON SIDE OF ROAD MY ARM RIPPED THE DUST BOOT SO THE DUST BOOT WAS NEVER RIPPED UNTIL AFTER VEHICLES WAS PULLED OVER AND ALREADY BROKEN .

I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED USED 2012 PLATINUM TUNDRA WITH 32K MILES AND 2 YEARS LATER WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND A CAM SEAL LEAK FIXED BY THE DEALER, I HAVE FOUND A VERY HARD ROD KNOCK FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGED WITH 114.8K MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME AND WAS TOLD I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I BELIEVE SOMETHING ISN'T SMELLING RIGHT. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY ISSUES WITH THE CONNECTION OF THE CAM SEAL LEAK AND THE ROD READY TO BLOW. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE APPROX. $14K TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH 40K MILES ON IT.. REALLY ? AGAIN, I'M SMELLING "NOT MY PROBLEM" FROM THE PEOPLE INVOLVED. WHO CAN I REACH OUT TO ASSIST ME IN RESEARCHING THE CAUSE OF POSSIBLE MIS REPAIR MAINTENANCE ? I APPRECIATE ANYONE'S HELP. BEST REGARDS,

TAKATA RECALL

LUG NUTS KEPT LOOSING ON MY 20 INCH WHEELS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES

AIR INJECTION RELAY AND PUMP FAILURE. THIS HAS BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ITEM ON ALL TRUCKS EXCEPT THE MODEL I HAVE WITH THE SAME PARTS AS THE LARGER ENGINE TRUCK. THIS IS A CORPORATE GAME OF NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON A LESS POPULAR MODEL ENGINE EVEN THOUGH THE PARTS ARE THE SAME AS WHAT IS BEING REPLACED ON SAME YEAR MODELS WITH THE LARGER ENGINE. REPAIR IS ESTIMATED AT $2600

TRUCK IN LIMP MODE. WOULD NOT EXCEED 40MPH. VEHICLE LIMPED HOME AND TOWED TO DEALER. RODENTS HAD CHEWED ELECTRICAL WIRES PER TOYOTA DEALER. UPON INVESTIGATION TOYOTA BEGAN USING SOY-BASED WIRING IN THEIR VEHICLES INSTEAD OF PETROLEUM-BASED AND DIDN'T NOTIFY THEIR CUSTOMERS. SOY-BASED PRODUCTS IN VEHICLES HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO "ATTRACT" RODENTS VERSUS PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS. MY 2012 TUNDRA WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND TOYOTA DENIED SAID WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WASN'T A "FAILURE" OF THEIR PARTS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY OR STEER PROPERLY BECAUSE THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ECM HAD FAILED. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR HARM DUE TO AN UNSUSPECTING INTERRUPTION IN SPEED AND TRAFFIC FLOW, AS A RESULT OF WIRING SEPARATION OCCURRING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

AIR INJECTION RELAY AND PUMP FAILURE. THIS CONDITION EVENTUALLY LEADS TO "LIMP" MODE CAUSING TRAFFIC SAFETY ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN A MANUFACTURER RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY ITEM ON ALL TUNDRA TRUCKS, UP TO AND INCLUDING SOME 2012 MODELS BUT NOT ALL OF THE 2012'S. BY THE NUMBERS OF FAILURES PRESENT, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT WHAT EVER DESIGN CHANGES TOYOTA DID TO SAY THEY FIXED THE ISSUE AND EXCLUDE SOME OF THE 2012'S WERE INSUFFICIENT. THIS RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD INCLUDE ALL 2012 MODELS. TOYOTA/DEALERS CLAIM THE PUMPS ARE PART OF EMISSIONS SO THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTIES. REPAIR COST WAS QUOTED AT $3800. OTHER FILED COMPLAINTS: NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11075528 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11002406 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10994136

I HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE BREAKS AND STEERING NOT WORKING. I WAS WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK.

2012 Toyota Tundra Cam Carrier seal/cam tower leak on Passenger side. THE CONSUMER STATED ONCE THE OIL PRESSURE BECOMES HIGHER THAN THE BOND HOLDING THE SEAL ELEMENT, IT BEGINS TO LEAK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.

RUST IS BUBBLING UNDER PAINT ON TRUCK BED NEAR REAR T51 BED BOLTS WHERE THE SPOT WELDS ARE LOCATED. RUST APPEARS TO BE COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH SEAM SEALING IN AREA AS WELL. NO RUST IS VISABLE UNDERNEATH OF VEHICLE. A TSB ON THIS ISSUE WAS SENT OUT FOR 2007-2011 MODEL TUNDRAS THIS VEHICLE IS A 2012 WITH SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR INJECTION PUMP AND SWITCHING VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

MY 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS EQUIPPED WITH TOYOTA'S VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC). ONE OF THE FEATURES OF THE VSC IS WHEN THE COMPUTER PERCEIVES A LOSS OF TRACTION, THE COMPUTER (WITHOUT THE DRIVER'S CONSENT) ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE LOSS OF TRACTION BY BRAKING AND/OR ENGAGING ONE OR BOTH OF THE FRONT TIRES. IN NOVEMBER OF 2016, THE VSC ON MY TUNDRA (WITH ONLY 43K MILES) BEGAN TO FAIL AND INSTEAD OF BECOMING INOPERABLE AND DOING NOTHING, THE VSC ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE THE FRONT TIRE(S) DURING ROUTINE TURNING MOVEMENTS. THIS CAUSES A JERKING SENSATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE PULLS SHARPLY TO ONE-SIDE. THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND I HAVE SPENT NEARLY $2,800 TRYING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. TO DATE, TOYOTA HAS BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM OR DISABLE THE FEATURE. IT IS MY OPINION THE VSC SYSTEM IN THE 2012 TUNDRA IS UNSAFE. THIS IS NOT ONLY BASED ON THE FACT I AM THE OWNER OF A DEFECTIVE TUNDRA, PRIOR TO RETIRING IN NOVEMBER 2015; I WORKED FOR THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL FOR MORE THAN 27 YEARS AS AN OFFICER AND SERGEANT. I INVESTIGATED NUMEROUS TRAFFIC COLLISIONS, WORKED IN SPECIALIZED INVESTIGATION UNITS AND RECEIVED ADVANCED TRAINING IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION. I KNOW FIRSTHAND THAT A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED PULL ON A STEERING WHEEL, SUCH AS I AM EXPERIENCING IN MY TUNDRA, COULD CAUSE A DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL. THEREFORE, IT IS MY OPINION BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED THAT THE VSC SYSTEM ON THE 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS DEFECTIVE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER AT TIRES, SIZE: 255/70/18 (NA). WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TIRES WOBBLED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAVIS DISCOUNT TIRES, (LOCATED AT 5332 W GENESEE ST, CAMILLUS, NY 13031) WHERE ALL FOUR TIRES WERE RE-BALANCED. THE SHOP STATED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT GOODYEAR, BUT THEY NEVER DID. THE CONTACT CALLED THE GOODYEAR MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE TIRES BACK TO MAVIS. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,769 AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

MY 4X4 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX WITH THE 5.7L ENGINE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CAM TOWER LEAK WITH ONLY 15,000 MILES ON IT. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER THE FACTORY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. TOYOTA MADE THE REPAIR AND PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR FOR ME. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2012-2013 5.7L ENGINE AND I WANT THIS ISSUE TO BE MORE PUBLIC. I WORRY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WILL BE STUCK WITH THE $2,300-$3,000 BILL TO FIX THEIR OWN VEHICLE IF THEIR VEHICLE'S POWER TRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I ALSO WORRY THE ENGINES COULD LEAK OIL ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND CATCH FIRE.

THIS TRUCK HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BECAUSE RATS GET IN THE ENGINE AND EAT THE WIRES. THIS ISSUE ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK IS PARKED. THIS TIME THE RATS ONLY MADE A NEST BUT THE LAST TIME COSTS ME ABOUT $1200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AIR IN THE BRAKE LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED CASE NUMBER 1606030334 FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT ALSO REPORTED THE ISSUE TO THE FTC (CASE NUMBER 73072104). THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. UPDATED 07/12/16*LJ

MY TUNDRA WAS PARKED AND IT STARTED TO ROW DOWN THE ROAD NO BODY INSIDE END IT UP ON NEIGHBORS DRIVE WAY HITTING A TREE TOTAL LOSS I BELIEVE IS BRAKE RELATED ISSUE

ON 4/5/16, I STARTED MY 2012 TUNDRA TO GO TO WORK. ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND STAYS ON. CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN. 5 HOURS OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTING REVEALS CODE P0418 (SECONDARY AIR INTAKE SYSTEM) ISSUE ON MY 2012 TUNDRA. COST OF REPAIRS, $2048.00. AFTER SOME RESEARCH INTO THIS CODE P0418, I FIND THAT IT IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM FOR TUNDRAS, TACOMAS AND SEQUOIAS DATING BACK TO 2000 - 2010. REPAIR COSTS OF UP TO $4,000. SUPPOSED TO BE RESOLVED IN 2011 + MODELS. NOT SO. IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED, THE TRUCK COULD GO INTO LIMP MODE, RESTRICTING POWER AND DEPENDING ON WHERE THIS OCCURS, COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION. NO WAY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WILL HELP IDENTIFY THIS ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY (TOYOTA) WERE WILLING TO PAY FOR HALF OF MY REPAIRS, WHICH I APPRECIATE. HOWEVER, THEY KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM DATING BACK TO 2000, MADE ATTEMPT TO CORRECT AND STILL AN ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER BASED ON THE FACT THAT THIS CONTINUES TO PLAGUE OWNERS.

AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE RAISED PAST RED LINE RPM FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. AFTER SLOWING, I STARTED TO BACK OUT DRIVE WHEN ENGINE RAISED AGAIN INTO RED LINE RPM. BEFORE I GOT IT PULLED BACK INTO DRIVE, IT RAISED 3 MORE TIMES. EACH TIME I MANAGED TO GET TO NEUTRAL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V065000 (AIR BAGS). 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 MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE HORN STOPPED WORKING.

I EXPERIENCED AN EXTREME POWER LOSS WHICH MADE IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WHEN BRINGING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SECONDARY AIR INTAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $4,000. UPON RESEARCHING I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON SIMILAR VEHICLES DATING BACK TO 2007. A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT WAS ISSUED FOR ALL EFFECTED VEHICLES FROM 2007-2010. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AFTER THAT DATE BUT NOT ENOUGH CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED OR EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM YET.

MIRROR CONTROL ON INSTRUMENT PA NEL HAS NO LIGHTS. HAD TO TURN ON CAB LIGHTS TO SEE THE MIRROR CONTROLS.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG CAME ON WHEN MY SON AND I WENT ON A TRIP TO OUR CABIN. WE STOPPED TO GET GAS, MY SON GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF GOT GAS, AND WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED ON. I AGAIN TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN. MY SON GOT OUT AND THEN GOT BACK INTO THE TRUCK. I TOOK THE CONCERN TO THE DEALER AND THEY RESET THE AIRBAG LIGHT. AFTER THE AIRBAG TURNED OFF ON US AT ALMOST THE EXACT SAME PLACE ON OUR TRIPS TO THE CABIN 5 MORE TIMES OVER A YEAR WITH NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM I ASKED THE DEALER TO COME UP WITH A PLAN TO ADDRESS THE ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM. MY REP. AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE TOYOTA CORPORATE REP. WILL STOP IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN A MONTH OR SO AND THEY WILL CALL ME TO MEET WITH HIM. AFTER THREE MONTHS WITH NO CONTACT I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHEN NO ONE CALLED ME BACK I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY REP. WAS OUT FOR THE SUMMER AND ANOTHER REP. TOLD ME THE TOYOTA CORPORATE REP QUIT AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE ANOTHER REP ASSIGNED TO THEM. I THEN CALLED TOYOTA COMPLAINT LINE WORKED WITH A REP. WHO LOOKED INTO THE ON GOING PROBLEM. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF TRYING TO GET A PLAN FROM HER SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE THE PASSENGER WAS TOO HEAVY FOR THE AIRBAG AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR. SHE SAID THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SETS THE STANDARDS AND THERE IS NOTING THEY CAN DO TO ADJUST THEM. I ASKED IF SHE COULD SEND ME THE AIRBAG SENSOR WEIGHT SINSITIVITY SETTINGS SHE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE REQUEST. I THEN ASKED HER TO PUT TOYOTA'S POSITION IN WRITING, AND THE REP. TOLD ME THAT "YOUR MAINTENANCE RECEIPT IS YOUR COMMUNICATION". THAT IS THE ONLY THING THEY WILL GIVE ME. I HAVE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THIS AIRBAG, AND TOYOTA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. I NEED HELP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED HERE.

I TOOK MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ON A COUPLE OF RUNS THREW THE MUD IN OUR 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX 4X4 TRD. THE RUNS WERE NO LONGER THAN 2-3 MINUTES OF FUN WITH ZERO PROBLEMS. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO RUN OUR TRUCK THREW A CAR WASH. I PLANNED ON GETTING IT WASHED THE NEXT DAY AFTER WORK. ON MY TO WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY OUR TRUCK SHOWED NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS UNTIL I ENTERED THE FREEWAY AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. AT THAT POINT OF TIME I COULD "FEEL" THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY . I CALLED AVONDALE TOYOTA IMMEDIATELY INFORMING THEM THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THEY SET AN APPOINTMENT UP FOR FRIDAY THE 7TH OF MARCH. I INFORMED TOYOTA THAT I WOULD PREFER TO DROP THE VEHICLE OFF WHEN I FINISHED WORK BECAUSE I FELT LIKE DRIVING IT WOULD ONLY CAUSE MORE ISSUES IF ANY. TODAY I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM AVONDALE TOYOTA INFORMING THE TRANSMISSION "BURNED UP" AND IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH OUR VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. THEIR WARRANTY REP BASED HIS OPINION ON PICTURES, STILL DIRTY FROM GOING THREW MUD, AND CONCLUDED THE TRANSMISSION WAS "ABUSED" AND TOYOTA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR "ABUSE." I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO AVONDALE TOYOTA AND SPKE WITH[XXX] AND THE MECHANIC WHO LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT ALL FLUID LEVELS WERE NORMAL, TEMPERATURE LEVELS ARE NORMAL AND NO TRANSMISSION CODES WERE TRIPPED. ZERO!!! A GEAR BROKE IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TELLING CUSTOMERS THE TRANSMISSION "BURNED" UP IS AN EASIER WAY TO INFORM CUSTOMERS.IT IS THEIR ASSUMPTION THAT I GOT STUCK IN MUD AND "ATTEMPTED TO ROCK THE VEHICLE BY MOVING THE SHIFTER BACK AND FORTH FROM DRIVE AND REVERSE WHILE I WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR." I INFORMED THE AVONDALE THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I COULD OF SIMPLY TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE CAR WASH, HAD IT CLEANED AND CONTACTED TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM MY TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP. LYING SEEMS THE WAY TO GO THESE DAYS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING AND CORRODED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR THE FAILURE AND THE TECHNICIAN CRASHED THE VEHICLE. THE DETAILS OF THE CRASH WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

THE 2012 TUNDRA PICKUP HAS AN UNCONTROLLED AND VIOLENT REAR END BOUNCE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MOUNTAIN STATES TOYOTA (DEALERSHIP PURCHASED FROM) AND THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK AS WELL AS REFUSED TO RIDE ALONG TO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ON DIFFERENT WEB SITES THAT DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT MY TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DUE TO THE VIOLENT SHAKING I REFUSE TO ALLOW CHILDREN TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUES. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TO EVERY AVENUE POSSIBLE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE TOYOTA TUNDRA. *TR

THE 9/8/13 ACCIDENT INVOLVED A SEVERE SIDE IMPACT. BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS WERE IMPACTED AND THE CENTER FRAME POST REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER, THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE TRUCK IS STILL IN THE SHOP AS OF 9/25/13 BECAUSE THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE ONBOARD COMPUTER RECOGNIZING THE SIDE AIR BAGS. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AIR BAG SYSTEM. *LN UPDATED 1/6/2013 *JS

AS I WAS DRIVING, ANOTHER VEHICLE STARTED VEERING INTO MY LANE. I PRESSED THE HORN PAD TO WARN THEM. HOWEVER, BECAUSE I USED MY RIGHT HAND AND HIT THE PAD AT THE MOST NATURAL LOCATION FOR ME -- I.E. THE LOWER RIGHT PORTION, INSTEAD OF HONKING THE HORN I HIT THE HANDS FREE TALK SWITCH ON THE STEERING HUB. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. THIS IS A NATURAL LOCATION TO HIT THE HORN PAD AND OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE TALKED TO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IN MY VIEW THIS IS AN UNSAFE SITUATION BECAUSE, NOT ONLY DO YOU NOT WARN THE OTHER VEHICLE BUT YOU ALSO GET DISTRACTED AT A TIME OF POSSIBLE EXTREMIS. IT IS BAD DESIGN AND NEED TO BE CORRECTED;. *TR

FLEX FUEL MODELS SOLD BY GULF STATES TOYOTA HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE THE ENGINE'S COMPUTER THINKS THERE IS E85 FUEL (OR AN ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION THAT IS MUCH HIGHER THAN ACTUAL) IN THE SYSTEM WHEN THERE IS NORMAL 10% OR LESS GASOLINE ACTUALLY PRESENT. THIS CAN CAUSE ROUGH COLD STARTS/IDLE, POWER LOSS, SUDDEN RPM/POWER DROPOUT, MISSING, AND LESSENED FUEL ECONOMY, ETC. (DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS FOR DIFFERENT TRUCKS). AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO FINAL FIX AND NO AVAILABLE SERVICE BULLETIN. THE ONLY GUIDANCE AT THIS TIME IS TO HAVE YOUR DEALER SEE WHAT ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION YOUR TRUCK IS RUNNING AND RE-FLASH THE COMPUTER IF THE READOUT IS INCORRECT. DEALER ALSO STATES TO NOT ACCELERATE AGGRESSIVELY. I HAVE SERVICE SCHEDULE ON 3/9/13 TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM FOR THE THIRD TIME. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW ON 11/23/12. *TR

MY ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE ISSUE I AM FACING WITH TOYOTA COMPANY. I PURCHASED MY TRUCK WITHIN 2012 AND SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK I TOOK THIS TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL ISSUES. WITHIN FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASE THE AIR INJECTION PUMP STOP WORKING, TRUCK WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A MONTH. TOYOTA INSTALLED TRD UPDATED FOR MY "INCONVENIENCE" I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO HAVE LOOKED AT OVER 10TIMES. ON FRIDAY I START HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, SO I DROPPED OF MY TRUCK AT THE SZOTT DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY EVENING MARCH 1ST. MONDAY MORNING SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AND INFORMED THAT AIR INJECTION PUMP IS BAD AND IT MAY TAKE OVER 4 WEEKS TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED, ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO TRUCK STOP RUNNING SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP CLOSE BY IN CANTON, TOYOTA OF CANTON REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, TRUCK WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK. I TRY REACHING OUT TO TOYOTA AND SEE IF THEY COULD HELP ME RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT TOYOTA DON'T CARE. SEE BELOW EMAIL I SENT TO TOYOTA ON 12-13. I WAS ASSIGN "CASE MANAGER" WAS NO HELP AT ALL. ALL I AM ASKING TOYOTA TO REPLACE/RESOLVE MY TRUCK ISSUES. I AM TIRED OF TAKING MY TRUCK FOR REPAIRS. I WILL FILE THE COMPLAINT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AS WELL. ISSUES WITH CABIN IS BEING LOUD AIR COMES FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND FORM THE LEFT AND RIGHT DOORS/WINDOWS. TRUCK WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR FOR OVER 3 WEEKS DUE TO THE AIR INTAKE PUMP ISSUE. I AM STILL FACING THE SAME ISSUES WHILE DRIVING TRUCK LOSE POWER AND WHILE I AM PULLING OVER SOME TIME I GET THE POWER BACK SOME TIME I HAVE TO WAIT TO MAKE SURE I CAN DRIVE OVER 25MILES PER HOUR. ALL THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO VIBRATION, NAVIGATION SYSTEM GOES IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING, DEALERSHIP WAS INFORMED. WHOLE DASH LIGHTS ELECTRIC IN THE DASH FLICKER WHILE DRIVING. LAST MONTH BATTERY DIED AND ELECTRIC ISSUES ARE STILL THERE. *TR

ON 12/24/2012 AROUND 04:00HRS I STRUCK AN ADULT MOOSE IN BEAR LAKE, CANADA WITH THE FRONT END OF MY WIFE'S 2012 TOYOTA TUNDRA CREWMAX ON THE BRITISH COLUMBIA HIGHWAY. THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD WAS SNOW AND ICE BUT WE HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED AFTERMARKET RIMS AND TIRES ON 12/18/2012 IN CALIFORNIA; 18IN MB VOTEX RIMS WITH BFG ALL TERRAIN TIRES. THE TRACTION OF THESE TIRES BOOSTED MY CONFIDENCE IN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 30-40MPH AT NIGHT. WE HAD TRAVELED ALL THE WAY FROM GEORGIA WITHOUT SEEING ANY ANIMALS AT NIGHT. THE HID HEAD LAMPS GAVE ME A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY NAVIGATING THROUGH THE NIGHT IN ORDER TO MAKE THE FINAL LEG TO ANCHORAGE, AK FOR CHRISTMAS DAY. TO MY SURPRISE, A MOOSE TIPTOED FROM THE WOODS ON MY RIGHT ABOUT 20 FEET AHEAD OF ME AS I INTENDED TO PRESS ON PASS IT. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOT SPOOKED AND DARTED INTO MY PATH. I STRUCK THE ANIMAL BROAD SIDE WITH THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK KNOCKING IT INTO THE ENGINE BAY. INITIALLY I THOUGHT THE CONTACT WAS NOT SEVERE BUT INSPECTION PROVED OTHERWISE. THE HOOD WAS CRUMPLED UP UNTO THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE RADIATOR AND MOTOR WAS PUSHED SO FAR BACK THAT IT WAS NO LONGER DRIVABLE. I BELIEVE MY SPEED WAS AROUND 30MPH UPON IMPACT WHICH SURPRISED ME THAT THE ANIMAL WAS DEAD. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP FOR AN INSURANCE ESTIMATE AS A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS CONCERNED AS TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY SINCE THE DAMAGES WAS SO GREAT. THE TECH EXPLAINED THAT THE SENSORS FOR THE AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED BEHIND THE BUMPER OF THE TRUCK WHERE IMPACT WAS MINIMAL. BECAUSE THE CONTACT TO THE MOOSE KNOCKED HIM OFF HIS LEGS THE LARGE BODY FELL INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL HAD IT A FULL RACK OF ANTLERS. THANK GOD HE DID NOT! THOUGH WE HAVE PURCHASED A 2013 REPLACEMENT OF THE SAME TRUCK, THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING IS STILL A CONCERN AS A DESIGN FLAW AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I PURCHASED MY FLEX FUEL TUNDRA 5.7 IN NOVEMBER OF 2011. I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH COLD STARTS IN DECEMBER OF 2012. I HAD AN EXTENDED CRANK TIME, AND IT WOULD TAKE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JANUARY OF 2013. THE DEALERSHIP RESET MY COMPUTER. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RESOLVED. THE FOLLOWING WINTER, IN DECEMBER OF 2013, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE WITH COLD STARTS. THE DEALER APPARENTLY RESET MY COMPUTER AGAIN. JUST A MONTH LATER, JANUARY 2014, THE EXTENDED CRANK ON COLD STARTS BEGAN AGAIN. THIS TIME, THEY TOLD ME MY ALCOHOL DENSITY WAS READING 49%. THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE AT 85%, HOWEVER, I AM NOT USING STRAIGHT ETHANOL GAS, WHICH I TOLD THEM NUMEROUS TIMES, SO MY READING SHOULD NOT BE 85%. I WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER SHOULD RESET TO 0 WHEN I FILL UP, BUT MY TRUCK IS NOT. IT'S JUST BUILDING UP, WHICH RESULTS IN AN INACCURATE ALCOHOL DENSITY READING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY CURRENT SOLUTION IS IF MY TANK DROPS BELOW 1/4 TANK, I SHOULD ONLY FILL IT HALF WAY, DRIVE IT GENTLY, AND THEN GO BACK TO FILL IT THE REST OF THE WAY. AFTER FILLING IT, I WAS TOLD TO LET IT IDLE, AND DRIVE IT GENTLY WHEN I PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. FOLLOWING MY LAST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHEN I REFILLED MY TRUCK FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER THE LAST RESET, THE 'MILES TO EMPTY' WAS READING 425! MY TRUCK USUALLY RANGES BETWEEN 300 AND 320. THE 426 MILES TO EMPTY READING ONLY HAPPENED ONCE, BUT AGAIN, THE INCONSISTENCY AND INACCURATE READINGS ARE NONSENSE, ESPECIALLY ON A $35K+ VEHICLE. SINCE THEN, I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE, AND I'M NOT THE ONLY TUNDRA OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE. OTHER FLEX FUEL TUNDRA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THERE IS RUST RAPIDLY FORMING UNDER SEATS ESPECIALLY MAIN STRUCTURE THAT SECURES TO FLOOR . *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME (BASE) BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY POPPING WHICH PROGRESSED TO A CONSISTENT POPPING FELT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE CORNERED AT SPEED OR WEIGHT SHIFTED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED BY DEALERSHIP AND AN ADJUSTMENT MADE TO THE SEAT RAIL ALIGNMENT PIN. FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO BE FIXED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM ULTIMATELY RETURNED WITH A SIMILAR POPPING NOISE. I ALLOWED IT TO PROGRESS UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP COULD REPRODUCE THE POPPING NOISE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME (BASE). THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED THE SECOND TIME AS A CRACKED WELD IN THE FRAME NEAR THE POINT WHERE THE SEAT BACK AND BASE ARE CONNECTED. THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE SEAT FRAME WITH A NEW ONE. THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF REPAIR WAS 23500 MILES. I AM DOCUMENTING THE ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHERS COMPLAINING ON TRUCK FORUMS OF POPPING IN THE SEAT FRAME. ALSO, I NOTICED THE RECENT TOYOTA RECALL FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE IN OTHER MODEL CARS. *JS

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS I DEPARTED MY DRIVEWAY. I CALLED TOYOTA SERVICE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WHICH OCCURRED THREE DAYS LATER. TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE AIR PUMP, WHICH IS PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM, FAILED. I WAS ADVISED THE TRUCK COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. AS OF TODAY (12/17/12) THE PART HAS STILL NOT ARRIVED AT BOCH TOYOTA SOUTH. WILL THE DEFECTIVE AIR PUMP CAUSE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER? *TR

AFTER ONLY A FEW MONTHS OF OWNING THE TRUCK ALMOST EVERY MORNING WHEN I TRY TO START THE TRUCK IT TOOK AT LEAST 2 CRANKING CYCLES TO START.

THE TRUCK NOW HAS 36322 MILES ON IT. *TR
