2016 Toyota Tundra Complaint Log

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at slower speeds, the vehicle stalled while depressing the accelerator pedal. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the fuel pump and other fuel pump-related parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired because the parts were on back order. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.

The steering rack internal seal inside the steering rack failed/ "blew" per mechanic and is leaking. I could lose my ability to steer at any time while driving my vehicle and wreck. It is currently at the Toyota services center in Gladstone, OR and has been diagnosed. No other representatives have inspected the vehicle. There were no warnings or signs of failure. I had originally taken my truck in to have an oil change and have it checked for a "slow" start up.

The power steering went out during routine around-town driving. One moment it was steering fine, the next moment it became extremely difficult and sluggish. There were no warning lights or warning of any sort until the steering wheel started jerking unevenly as I tried to turn. I was able to get control of the vehicle and pull it to the side of the road. There was no difference in the engine noise, and I couldn't see any noticeable fluid leak. I was able to drive the vehicle home, make an appointment with the Toyota dealer, and get the vehicle to the dealership for inspection. The dealership told me after inspection, that the rack and pinion steering was binding internally, and that there was seepage from the right boot. Initially, they told me that the pump should be fine. I authorized them to replace the rack and pinion steering. After which, they told me that the problem seemed to still persist some, and that the pump would have to be replaced also. My total bill came to $3,200, which seemed not unfair. But this whole issue seemed like something that should be noticed as part of a recall. I found the NHTSA recall number. 21V-920, and my truck seemed to match exactly the symptoms spelled out is this recall , but Toyota refused to acknowledge it. My VIN number did not fall within the specified VIN for this recall. I've driven several Toyotas, including another Tundra, a Tacoma, 2 Highlanders and a Sienna, and have been pleased with each vehicle. This Tundra is 10 years old with 95,000 miles, and I've only done expected maintenance and a couple of occasional minor repairs. Those being: - Having the brakes resurfaced - Changing out the alternator In the end, it wasn't a devastating amount of money, but it was an issue that I felt Toyota should have taken care of. I did reach out to them, but because I had already paid for the repairs on the vehicle I needed to drive for work, they refused to talk to me any further. I have the estimate and final bill.

My right front headlamp is getting moisture inside the headlamp assembly. It can be inspected any time. Chance that headlamp will not work. Did not take to a dealer.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2016 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while going through prior service paperwork found in the vehicle, he discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. The contact also stated that the vehicle was once sold at a private auction. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 158,000; however, upon discovery of the service paperwork, the contact discovered that the vehicle mileage was once 250,000.

I have had multiple incidents where the front hood bulge has blown off going down the interstate and nearly hit other cars. It’s not been worth buying a new one with the risk of them flying off. It’s definitely a saftey concern and a hazard.

The trailer brake controller went out. It does not supply electronic braking and the truck no longer recognizes the controller on the dashboard. Multiple on line chats and forums, along with my trailer provider, show awareness of this defect. Online individuals learned of the issue during emergency stopping. This appears to be known and wide spread.

The frame of the truck is extremely rusted. I am unsure if it can be fixed. It is available for inspection. This 2016 Tundra has 71,000 miles and is used as a third car. It has been serviced at the same dealership (Northshore Toyota, Covington, LA) and we were never informed of the damage by the dealership. My safety is at risk because the extensive rust could cause the frame to fail. Previous Tundra models have been recalled because of the same issues. No warnings were issued even after the dealership serviced the truck on a lift numerous times (approximately 9 years). The only previous warning by the dealership was on 1/29/2025 when the dealership informed us of a rusty trailer hitch. The truck was brought to 4 body shops in the local area after the owner went to work on the trailer hitch and saw the damage. All 4 shops confirmed that the rust was extensive. 3 shops would not fix the damage because it would be an expensive/extensive fix. We are waiting on what shop #4 says.

Peeling paint. White paint is separating from primer on hood, and adjacent to windshield on a pillars and the leading edge if the roof.

1)Over 60 MPH with new tires the vehicle pulses & shakes on front end, checked alignment everything OK per Mechanic. Just started to occur 2)Bluetooth when on iPhone will at any time cut out guaranteed to occur when using at any time been occurring for 2 + years. 3)Trailer brake warning light (Idiot light) comes on dashboard does not recommend trailering due to electrical issue. occurring for 2+ years Bought vehicle used in 2017 with 13k on Truck now 2024 has 91K on truck love the truck but zero recalls for any of the above?

Seat heater stopped working. Turns out there is a burnt connector leading to part number 87501-0C020, which appears to be a seat heater amp. One pin of the connector is completely melted. I've purchased this truck brand new from Toyota. Nobody has ever touched this part. Scared that it could have caught fire.

I was stopped at a turn light to merge left onto freeway and the truck steering went out when trying to turn, it led me into oncoming traffic that was just coming to a stop light, I was able to crank my wheel with all my strength to get to the side of the uphill freeway merge ramp. There were no warning signs. It was so scary and thank goodness I hadn't merged onto the freeway. The component that failed was the power steering assembly, rack and pinion with inner and outer tie rods. I don't believe the parts will be available for inspection since the truck was towed to repair shop. Overall, I was lucky to be alive. My safety was put at risk being unable to properly steer, if I had been going any faster, or even on the freeway there would be no way to control the vehicle. Initially, I was put into oncoming traffic that was coming to a stop. It put myself and everyone around me in danger. The problem has been confirmed by an independent repair shop that truck was towed to. They immediately saw the problem and took several days to fix. Even questioned what I was doing at the time of this event, because something like this just doesn't typically happen. It concerned them so much, that United Wheels and Tires suggested I reach out to Toyota. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone but the dealer and the tow truck services. Insurance was notified of situation and services dispatched, since the truck was not drivable. There were NO warming lamps, messages or anything on truck. Truck is in perfect condition and drove only on roads (no off-roading or towing, etc.).

The integrated brake controller does not apply enough power to the trailer brakes.

Gas tank no longer fills completely in a single squeeze. Each squeeze of the pump only fills up maybe a .25 gallon at a squeeze if I am lucky, but typically less. This results in a complete fill up taking close to a half hour. There are numerous posts on forums such as https://www.tundras.com/threads/gas-filling-problem.38449/, https://www.tundras.com/threads/gas-tank-roll-over-valve-stuck-causes-hard-fuelling-anyone-else.42535/, and many others regarding this issue, with no response from dealers other than sorry. This sounds like a pure manufacturing issue if so many people have issues with their tanks, in a similar fashion.

Fuel gauge provides false inaccurate reading, resulting in stranded situation when fuel runs out. Toyota is aware is issue and has only issued a TSB for limited years when the problem is more wide spread. My daughter has been stranded several times.

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the oil change warning light was illuminated. The contact changed the oil however, after changing the oil, the vehicle would not shift into the intended gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 73,400.

Problem Parts?? At around 70,000 miles I was told that there was an engine oil leak ... camshaft area... and the engine needs to pulled out with a repair cost of about $5,000 dollars. (Reseal both cam towers, replace gaskets, etc.) A bit ridiculous. Is there now a possible engine fire risk? At 70,000 miles there was obviously a manufacturing mistake or a defective part used during assembly.

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle ran off the road during a thunderstorm, causing the driver's and passenger's side curtain air bags to deploy. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who informed the contact that the headliner needed to be replaced; however, the part to complete the repair was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The failure mileage was approximately 99,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated while doing a routine check that it was discovered that the power steering assembly was leaking. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic, and he stated that the power steering assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were contacted, and they stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21E103000(Steering). The failure mileage was 53,437.

Bought a used 2016 Tundra, unaware of the massive problem they have with their intergrated brake controller, i feel they need to do something about this or reimburse the buyer for buying a aftermarket one to replace the factory unit. Its a very unsafe problem when pulling a trailer, I love the truck otherwise but this issue needs fixed.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Answer - Front and rear wheel bearings. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Answer - wheels could have locked up while driving. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Answer - Yes. Milton Martin Toyota in Oakwood, GA has confirmed that 3 wheel bearings are bad and need to be replaced. 1x front left wheel bearing replaced on 12/06/21 and both rear wheel bearings are being replaced on 12/14/21. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Answer - Yes, if a dealership qualifies as the manufacturer. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Answer - Yes, noise from the wheels while driving. No warning lamps or messages. I noticed the "roaring" noise around 11/12/2021.

My truck is shutting off while driving,can be very dangerous.

Under acceleration the truck hesitates during shifting. Took to dealership and they can’t find anything however it continues intermittently. During speeds on highway it does the same. No codes so the dealership said it would just have to continue until something triggered or became more frequent. To date this continues. Started seeing the random issue around Feb 2021

HEADLIGHTS IN THE ON OR AUTO POSITION RANDOMLY GO OUT WHEN BLINKER RETURNS TO NEUTRAL POSITION AFTER BEING ENGAGED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION AT LOW AND HIGHSPEEDS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AND COMING OUT OF A COMPLETED STOP. CANNOT DETERMINE IF THIS IS A SHORT IN WIRING HARNESS OR IF TRIGGERED BY FAULTY COMPONENT.

MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHEN USING MY TURN SIGNAL

MY 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA 1794 CREWMAX, DURING WINTER MONTHS IN MIDWEST - THE HEADLIGHTS AND AND INTERNAL INSTRUMENTATION WILL TURN OFF WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT WITH TURN SIGNAL ENGAGED. THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS ARE ENGAGED ON COLUMN STALK AND THE ISSUE OCCURS AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RACK AND PINION FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS FLUID FROM THE RACK AND PINION UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RACK AND PINION SEAL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED. PITTS TOYOTA (210 N. JEFFERSON ST, DUBLIN, GA 31021, (478)272-3244, WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

THE POWER LOCKS FOR THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FAIL TO WORK AS EXPECTED. IT IS NOT CONSISTENT. WHEN DRIVING, IT IS SUPPOSED TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY FOR SAFETY BUT DOES NOT ALWAYS LOCK (OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOB WHEN NEEDING TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE. PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING.

THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHEN USING THE BLINKER. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND IT HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I CANNOT REPLICATE THIS ISSUE ON MY OWN.

WHILE CHECKING AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES AND TPMS SENSOR SNAPPED OFF

ON MY 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA 1794 EDITION, WITH HEADLIGHTS IN "AUTO" POSITION, WHEN I USE TURN SIGNAL, THE HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS ALL OCCASIONALLY TURN OFF. ONCE TURN SIGNAL SHUTS OFF, LIGHTS COME BACK ON . IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS AT NIGHT WHEN IT'S COLD OUT. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED PROBABLY HALF A DOZEN TIMES IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. WHILE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, IT'S VERY SCARY, AS I'M DRIVING BLIND ON A RURAL ROAD UNTIL THE LIGHT COME BACK ON. ON THE TUNDRAS.COM OWNERS WEBSITE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. HELP! BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, AND DASHLIGHTS ALL GO OFF WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED HALF A DOZEN TIMES AT NIGHT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS IN THE 30'S, BOTH WHEN TURNING ON NARROW UNLIT RURAL ROADS, AND ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WHEN CHANGING LANES. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 1794 EDITION OF THE TUNDRA WITH THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS. YOU CAN FIND DOZENS OF OTHER TUNDRA OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, INCLUDING A VIDEO ON THE TUNDRA.COM WEBSITE. SEE LINK BELOW: HTTPS://WWW.TUNDRAS.COM/THREADS/AUTO-HEADLIGHTS-SHUT-OFF-WITH-TURN-SIGNAL.22968/ THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPEND TO ME, AND IT IS SCARY DANGEROUS. I REPORTED THIS TO NHTSA BACK IN DECEMBER, AND TOYOTA HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE NOT EVEN ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN. PLEASE GET THEM TO FIX THIS! EVEN MY TOYOTA SERVICE AGREEMENT WON'T FIX MY TUNDRA, BECAUSE THE DEALER CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM (IT'S NOT COLD, AND THEY CLOSE AT 6 WHEN IT'S NOT DARK!), AND THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGING THIS IS EVEN A PROBLEM. I'M BEGGING YOU, AT LEAST GET TOYOTA TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBEM AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT!!

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE ACTIVATION OF TURN SIGNAL INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF HEADLIGHTS. TO RE-ENERGIZE HEADLIGHTS I HAVE TO MANUALLY SWITCH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH FROM AUTO TO ON. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IN RURAL AREAS. I AM HOPING SOMEONE ADDRESSES THIS WITH TOYOTA, SINCE IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE THEY SEND YOU HOME!

2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA. CONSUMER STATES THAT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK DURING COLLISION. *LD *JS

IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SET TO AUTO AND I SIGNAL A LEFT TURN AND TURN TO THE LEFT, THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SWITCH TO "DAY MODE". THE ISSUE SEEMS INTERMITTENT. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR IN COOLER TEMPS (<50F).

HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS USED AND THE HEADLIGHTS SWITCH IS IN AUTO MORE. DEALERSHIP CAN'T/WON'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY WILL NOT TROUBLESHOOT FURTHER. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF PLATINUM AND 1794 EDITION TOYOTA TUNDRAS ARE HAVING AND IT IS BEING IGNORED BY TOYOTA; HTTPS://WWW.TUNDRAS.COM/THREADS/AUTO-HEADLIGHTS-SHUT-OFF-WITH-TURN-SIGNAL.22968/ HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=2TZRPLQ9WP4 I'VE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. PICKUP ONLY HAS ABOUT 26K MILES ON IT. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON A FREEWAY CLOVERLEAF IN THE RAIN AND LUCKILY THERE WERE STREET LIGHTS BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MERGE. OTHER TIMES IT HAS BEEN SIGNALING TO TURN LEFT AND ENTERING THE CENTER TURN LANE ON MULTI-LANE ROADS. ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE IT IS DARK OUTSIDE BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE IN AUTO WHICH MAKES IT MORE DANGEROUS.

WHEN ENGAGING TURN SIGNAL, ALL LIGHTS EXTINGUISH MOMENATARILY. THIS IS AN INTERMITTEN AND HAPPENS AT RANDOM, BUT NOT CONSTANT. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED WAS EARLY MORNING BEFORE SUN RISE I WAS IN A TURNING LANE AT A RED LIGHT STOPPED, ENGAGED LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND ALL LIGHTS WENT DARK. THE NEXT TIME I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE AND ENGAGED TURN SIGNAL IN TRAFFIC ALL LIGHTS WENT DARK. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FORUMS TO FIND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH TUNDRA PLATINUM AND 1794 MODELS. MY VEHICLE HAS NO MODIFICATIONS AND ALL LIGHTING IS FACTORY INSTALLED.

ALL LIGHTS (HEADLAMPS AND TAIL LAMPS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL) TURN OFF WHEN USING TURN SIGNAL. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN CHANGING LANES AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS TO OCCUR IN 2015-2017 TOYOTA TUNDRAS (1794 & PLATINUM EDITIONS). SEE THREAD. HTTPS://WWW.TUNDRAS.COM/THREADS/AUTO-HEADLIGHTS-SHUT-OFF-WITH-TURN-SIGNAL.22968/PAGE-3

THE FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT WORK. THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC PARTS OF THE DAY, TIME, WEATHER CONDITIONS. IT WILL WORK FINE AND THEN EITHER ONE FAILS OR THE OTHER, OR BOTH. THEN ITS STARTS TO WORK AGAIN WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 12-18 MONTHS.

BRAKE CONTROLLER DOESN'T WORK AS IT DESIGNED.

REAR WHEEL OR AXLE BEARINGS MAKE A NOTICEABLE LOUD HUMMING SOUND WHEN DRIVING AT ROAD SPEED LIMIT, ESPECIALLY WHEN MOVING SLIGHTLY LEFT INTO A CURVE OR RIGHT INTO A CURVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS SERVICING THE VEHICLE, THE BUMPER DETACHED WHEN A FRIEND STEPPED ON THE BUMPER. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V051000 (STRUCTURE). THE CONTACT DROVE TO AUTONATION TOYOTA SOUTH AUSTIN (4800 S IH 35 FRONTAGE RD, AUSTIN, TX 78745, 512 518-6900) AND WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY INVOLVED IN A CRASH, THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE BUMPER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND SIDED WITH THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THEY FELT THE RECALL SHOULD STILL BE REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO SAN MARCOS TOYOTA (5101 I-35, SAN MARCOS, TX 78666, 512-392-1999) WHERE THEY POINTED OUT DAMAGE TO THE SIDE AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND ALSO REFUSED TO SERVICE THE RECALL. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER BACK AND FILED A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE REFUSAL OF SERVICE. THE CONTACT DROVE TO UNIVERSAL TOYOTA (12102 I-35, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78233, 726-444-6959) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER INTERMITENT FAILURE. TRAILER BRAKES WORK FOR A FEW BRAKING CYCLES THEN FAIL COMPLETELY WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE TRUCK OF "TRAILER WIRING TYPE, OR CONNECTION FAULT". TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON RESETS THE CONTROLLER AND "FIXES" THE PROBLEM UNTIL ANOTHER FEW BRAKING CYCLES, THEN REPEATS.

AT ONLY 77,000 MILES THE AXLE BEARINGS HAVE FAILED. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE SINCE SEALED BEARINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP PARTS MANAGER SAYS THESE BEARINGS FAIL FREQUENTLY ON THE TUNDRAS.

TODAY 01/31/2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA 1794 CREW MAX TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY IN OAKLAND, CA AROUND 1:30 PM. I HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH THE REAR (FACING) WINDOW DOWN APPROXIMATELY 8 " I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CLOSING THE REAR ELECTRIC WINDOW AND JUST AS IT CLOSED I DROVE OVER A STEEL TRENCH PLATE THAT HAD BEEN PLACED ON THE FREEWAY BY CAL TRANS ALL 3 THINGS HAPPENED AT ONCE, THE WINDOW CLOSED, I DROVE OVER THE PLATE AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD WITH A SHOTGUN LIKE BANG, I HAD THE SUN SHADE CLOSED SO NO GLASS FELL ON ME. I BELIEVE THAT THE CHANGE IN CABIN AIR PRESSURE COUPLED WITH THE IMPACT OF THE TRENCH PLATE WAS ALL IT TOOK TO CAUSE THIS FLAWED SUNROOF TO EXPLODE UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. THE WEATHER WAS SLIGHTLY OVERCAST AND APPROXIMATELY 64 DEGREES AT THE TIME. I HAVE PHOTOS BUT CAN NOT UPLOAD THEM AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.

REAL SAMPLE THE BRAKE CONTROLLER DOESN'T WORK NO MATTER IF YOU SET IT UP TO 9.5 OR 10 DOESN'T DO ANY BRAKE APPLIED.

REAR WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED (BUT STILL FUNCTIONAL) AT 17000 MILES. WHEELS STILL ROTATE BUT THERE IS A VERY LOUD DRONING NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH A SLIGHT SQUEAL AT LOWER SPEEDS. NON-TOYOTA MECHANICS HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS BEARINGS CAN FAIL ALTOGETHER AND SEIZE THE WHEELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED RUST ON THE FRAME OF THE REAR SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HERTRICH TOYOTA OF MILFORD (1367 BAY RD, MILFORD, DE 19963, (877) 458-0609) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO MOISTURE ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CLEANED THE RUST, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH EVEN MORE RUST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

LOCK ACTUATOR WENT OUT ON TRUCK AFTER ONLY 2 YEARS. PER DEALER THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. FOUND ONLINE THAT IT IS VERY COMMON IN NEWER TOYOTA VEHICLES AND OFTEN OCCURS ON ALL 4 DOORS. COSTLY TO REPAIR AND SHOULD NOT GO OUT THAT QUICKLY.

REAR BUMPER RECALL. AS OUTLINED IN TOYOTA TUNDRA REAR BUMPER RECALL. THE REINFORCEMENT CRACKED AND SOMEONE STEPPED ON THE BUMPER COVER AND NOW THE DEALER AND TOYOTA WILL NOT PREFORMED THE NEEDED REPAIRS STATING THE THE VEHICLE WAS IN A ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER INSURANCE.
