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:

Bought this 2000 Tundra used, with 82k miles on it. Ok first problem, O2 sensors failed after the first year. A part that looks like a sparkplug, but cost 150 and another 300 to install. And of course they come in pairs so that's X2! Next major thing to go is the fuel gauge which stuck on half a tank. They drop the tank fix the sending unit or float and send me on my merry way after about 600 bucks. This truck i really wanted to have faith in, and have been taking it to toyota for it's regular scheduled maintenence for the past few yrs since i bouth it.

Just last month i had to replace the front pads and rotors and two tie-rods! Now just the otherday, guess what happens? Fuel gauge again!!..stuck on half a tank..I am not paying another 600 for the same proble, as the warranty to this vehicle is long expired. Me and my wife are debating right this minute as i type this wether to get a Dodge Ram, which seems to be the truck everybody and their grandmother are driving! I really wanted to have faith in toyota since US made vehicles were getting a bad rap for quality, but i think in this case you should definetely buy american, or do better research when buying another truck.

Physical damage to my wallet and unessacary aggravation, isn't that enough?

2007 Toyota Tundra, Rear window slider leaks badly going thru car washes. Told by Dealership that this is common and the way Toyota designed the window.

The end of my 2001 Toyota Tundra. To finsh my posting of 9-6-08. Driving down the highway with the cruise control on, horn starts blowing by itself, then smoke starts coming out of dashboard by the steering column. Pulled off the road (of course brakes shaking), disconnect battery (In retrospect I should have let it be) reconnect the battery. Now have no dash lights or parking lights.The solution? I traded it in on a 2009 Dodge Ram.TOYOTA NEVER AGAIN! Good luck to all you Tundra owners.

My dad bought our Tundra new in 2000. He had the same brake vibration the whole time he drove it. He took it to the dealer ship many times and they told him that it wasn't anything. He drove that truck for 8years with it doing that and the dealer ship never did anything except for one time and it still did it after we got it back.

Im a senior in high school now and he gave me the truck as a graduation present because my old truck wouldn't have been able to make it to houston and back for college next year. We did all the mantinence on it and it still did it. Now it seems like when i get up past 65 or 70mph the steering wheel shakes like none other and it feels like the whole truck is vibrating apart. My truck now has 148,000 miles on it and still runs like a top. the dealer ship told us mabey we should just buy a new car. We didn't pay 30,000 to have to get rid of my truck
