It's one ugly truck all right. Problem is, it can be a little uglier than the buyer expects. Tundra is one of the models that is putting a pretty big blemish on Toyota's reputation for quality, reliability and customer service.

Biggest problem? The brakes. A design oversight can cause the front rotors to warp and wear prematurly. Toyota's response has been to keep quiet and hope the problem goes away. Not likely.

Here are some of the more recent complaints:

I own a 200 Toyota Tundra with 108,000 miles on it. I started having transmission problems last week and was told that my entire transmission was failing at a cost of at least 3000.00 to repair. I've contacted Toyota and received no help. Considering the prevalence of the transmission problems with this model year I cannot understand why there has not been a recall. Toyota wants to ignore this problem but they are losing loyal customers.

We were having problems with transmission which is a problem I hear lots of people are having with 2000-2002 Toyota Tundra's. Mechanic found metal shavings in transmission pan truck had about a little over 70,000 miles. Since at the time it was covered under warranty they replace it. Now at 95,000 miles I am having the same problem but since warranty expired 2 month ago they are saying nothing could be done. My questions are doesn't a transmission have to last more than 20,000 miles? And why the same problems as before? Why am I the only one not having this problem with year/make? They offered me a discount which still will put me 2500 or more in the hole. And what happens next when it happens again? Toyota says it is working to maintain vehicle quality, even as it increases production to meet worldwide demand for its vehicles. That is BS. I was true to them now I am better off with a Ford.

I have a 2000 Tundra, had a transmission go out a 40k miles, Grapevine Toyota replaced it under warranty, but called me before I was to pick it up the next day and said the one they replaced the first one with was no better than the original. Well, number 3 transmission lasted 30k miles and I am having problem with it now, looking at #4. I sent e-mail to Toyota and was told in so many words, tuff! They quoted the warranty, 12k miles or 12 months, really trust the product! Well now I am being told by Toyota of Grapevine that 4,500. will get me a rebuilt transmission and another 12 months or 12k miles. I have 3 Toyotas at this time and like so many others thought I was getting the best, BS! I have bought my last Toyota, American cars are probably not the same quality but, do the math. If I have to pay this kind of money to repair an already very expensive truck, why wouldn't I get an F-100 or a Chevy with life time warranty? I will, and Toyota just may find out that they are as big as they think!!!
