Toyota Tundra

2010 Tundra with less than 20K miles. It has a big rust area in the bed and I have had a Toyota bed liner in it the whole time I have own it... since it was new off lot. Toyota said "That's too bad. It's out of warranty" and I said it's a quality problem. The rust and hole came from the bottom up... it's a quality issue.

My problem with my 2012 Tundra started at a very low mileage interval. So to make it brief, the motor would code out and go into safe/crawl mode displaying the "4 LO" light and also the "service engine" icon. I cannot go over like 4 miles per hour and it seems like I am in 4LO the entire time. So, a charcoal canister $1,200.00 did not fix it, 30 miles later light came on, a EVAP motor and Pump did not fix it $530.00, Now TOYOTA is telling me I need a $3,200.00 evap entire wiring harness, and this will "fix it" guaranteed. I am so mad I could burst. Looking to hear from others if they have experienced this.

When my wife and I were looking to replace our Dodge, we had two options. The first was the Chevy Silverado and the second was the Toyota Tundra. Just like everyone else, we ended up going with the Toyota Tundra due to Toyota's reputation and the fact that the company I worked for was a supplier of a major component. The Tundra is a 2008 with about 60,000 miles on. Since we've owned the vehicle, we've had more than our share of issues. These include:

2016 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition - First issue I believe to be suspension related. Truck hits a bump and shakes... a lot. Sometimes a full 5+ seconds after. Brought it to multiple dealerships, multiple technicians say it's normal. Tundra's are just a really rough ride. Second, the rear window. Absolutely love that it goes down all the way but there's probably a reason not all truck manufacturers do this. It sounds like the world is coming to an end. There is a VERY loud grinding/squeaking noise that happens as the truck bounces. Dealership again says this is normal; there is only one bracket that holds it in place and so if the window isn't up all the way it moves around a lot. Other issues exist but those are the two that would keep me from buying another Tundra. 10,000 kms on this thing and it drives and sounds like it's 30 years old.

I just got off the phone with a case manager name Marquita from Toyota. I had called three days earlier and was told a case manager would call. I received no phone call, and had to call them myself. My Tundra is one of the vehicles affected by the lack frame protection resulting in a severely rusty frame. I had the frame inspected by a local Toyota dealer and was told that the undercoating that was meant to solve the problem was poorly applied. Huge chunks are my frame are falling off and the frame is exposed causing it to continue to rust. The master technician brought me back to show how the frame was not originally prepped and the undercoating was thinly applied.

TPSM Light Comes on.

My 2005 Tundra has 38,000 miles and was recalled for the "service campaign" of re-coating frame due to rust. Promptly got this done and within 4 months huge pieces were peeling off. Notified dealership, took in to be looked at and they said this was a one time coating and nothing else could be done. Opened a case with Toyota headquarters - nothing. 1 year later shifting cable AND brake lines break - private mechanic said due to severe rusting. Back to dealership, NOW they offer to re-scrape undercarriage and reapply coating along with $6000 estimate of other repairs/maintenance needed. Supervisor showed me underneath truck when up on lift and it looks like it has been sitting in salt water-rusting. It's that bad. Dealership also stated that they rate the rust condition on the vehicles from 1-10, 1 being the worst and 10 the best. He stated when my vehicle initially came in it was rated a 3!

I had a 2000 Tacoma 189,000 miles on. It ran great. Everything was good. One day coming from work hit a curb started driving funny. I was going to take it to a mechanic. Started looking at it I noticed my whole frame was cracked. I got frame cancer. I called Toyota. they know of the problem but my truck was too old they didn't care if my frame broke and I killed myself or somebody else. So I was stuck with my truck. Can't drive it. Can't sell it. Had to part it out. I started investigating and almost every Toyota has this problem and Toyota knows all about it. So if you are buying a Toyota make sure you get it checked out. I will never buy a piece of ** Toyota again. I bought a Chevy. so I hope you read this and think twice about getting a Toyota.

I recently bought a 2003 Toyota Tundra sr5 with 89000 miles on it. Now having owned a few Toyota cars in the past I was pretty certain the money was well spent. Unfortunately for me I was wrong. It seems that Toyota has some serious issues with the frames of their trucks. Had I known I need to climb under the truck and inspect the whole frame before buying it I would have bought a Chevy. After having lost my steering I took into the shop only to find out the front chassis had completely rotted out. And having to tow it to another shop to be told the same thing the mechanics explained it was very odd to only have 1 portion of the frame rot out while the most exposed areas of the frame were still in ideal conditions. So like most people I jumped on the Internet to find the 2003 Tundra had a lot of problems with the frames (so did the tacomas, both from 1998-2015).

This was the 2nd Tundra Crewmax that I bought new. The quality from the 2011 to 2017 has greatly decreased. One of the nice features of the Crewmax was that the back seat reclined, not anymore for the 2016-2017. The child seat latching system in the back flawed. Because the seat no longer slides or folds forward they have a nylon strap directly behind the headrest in which you put your car seat strap through then you have to go to the center of the backseat to attach to another strap. This puts sideways pressure on the car seat, not backwards force which is needed in my opinion.

I own a 2006 Toyota Tundra and absolutely love and trust this truck. I bought it used in Fort Wayne Indiana with 38,000 miles. I take care of my vehicles. Oil changes regularly (Royal Purple synthetic), regular maintenance is done as well. Two recalls and a Toyota service notice have been taken care of. Recalls were lower ball joints. Toyota covered this with no problems. Frame inspection recall. Mine had no issues. Tensioner belt assembly issue. I paid for that. Currently have 119,000 miles as of 11/8/2016. Changes I have made, removed the muffler for a more rumbling sound, leveling kit, 285 sized tires, cold air intake, replaced the radiator (very easy to do) along with temp sensor and thermostat.

In 2010 I purchased a Toyota Tundra thinking that this company would stand behind their vehicles. This company has had and still does have a problem with the secondary air system. They have extended the warranty for this system admitting that they have a problem. This is an expensive fix for consumers over $4000.00 and still no recall from this company to fix the problem. Without this fix you are unable to get an inspection because it is an emission problem. Consumer beware that you will have this problem if you keep your vehicle for over the extended warranty time allowed.

Have a 2016 Toyota Tundra with 7000 miles on it, purchased new. The transmission started slipping on it so had it towed into dealership. They stated it had slippage codes in computer so they would need to put new one in but would not cover it under warranty. They said at sometime the rear wheels were spinning faster than the front is why. I do not understand how that deems it unwarrantable.

My first new 1987 Dodge pickup mostly junk. Then a new 98 Ford 4WD Lariat, a bit better but had inadequate brake issues and transfer case sticking problems. At 5 years old couldn't wait to get rid of vehicles. Bought a new 2003 Tundra and has been almost like a fine Swiss watch. Had to have the fuel filler neck replaced because the old necks in this model year was causing a sensor light to come on in the cab. I live in AZ so body rust not a problem. Because I let the truck go to log without replacing front shocks I had to have some minor work done. Other than that and new batteries can't think of anything I have had to have done. One thing that is annoying every time I schedule service with Toyota they practically beg me to sell. From what I understand somewhere in the 2001 to 2005 range are the best model years. I'm tall so I have to hunch a bit to get under the top of the door jam but there is plenty of head room inside.

I bought a 2006 Tundra a few years ago and got the vehicle nicely washed and polished at a dealership in Tucson. After about 10 washes the paint disappeared on the hood and roof. I contacted the dealership and they accused me I did the damage probably myself and refused to fix the issue. I wrote Toyota and got no help whatsoever - no surprise. Well, that's just an optical issue. Later I got 2 recalls and went to a dealership in Sierra Vista to get the recalls taken care off. The service guy was just laughing and said Toyota "might" have the parts for the repair late Summer 2016. Called today - nothing. Recently the truck starts to overheat, driving in city traffic. Since I got it, the ac won't blow cold in slow traffic.

I just purchased a 2016 Toyota Tundra Limited 4 days ago, after waiting for it for over 6 weeks. This morning, when I was familiarizing myself with my brand new truck, I discovered that the spare tire is an 18-inch Michelin while the ones on the truck are 20-inch Bridgestones. My suspicion was that the tires were swapped at the dealership from Michelins to Bridgestones and that whoever did it did not even bother with the spare. The dealership salesman I dealt with said there may have been a mistake installing the wrong size, wrong brand spare. But who would make a mistake like this - The Toyota people at the factory?

I have a 2006 Tundra and am very dissatisfied with it. I own a farm, and I expect a truck to perform. With 33,000 miles, I noticed transmission oil leaking from the bell housing where the front drive shaft connects to the transmission. There is no way to check for low oil because the transmission is sealed with no oil stick (how stupid!). The dealer changed the seal under warranty, but the mechanic admitted the seal he took out looked good. The only way to truly fix the problem was to also change the drive shaft also, but the dealer did not. About 50,000 miles later, and I now have the same problem. At 40,000 miles the tailgate would not open and shut. When I removed the tailgate panel, the piano wire and Teflon bushings looked like parts out of a cracker jack box. I was shocked at the flimsiness of the parts. For a farmer, a truck without a tailgate is like a bird dog without a nose.

Have a 2007 Toyota Tundra Limited with severe Bed rust with 45000 miles on it. Took it to the dealer and they said they can do nothing about it, call Toyota customer service hq's. Well we know how that went. "Sorry you are over the 5 year limit." This a known problem with their trucks and they chose to do nothing about it. I don't care if it is 9 years old, there should be not rust like that at this age. Also had to have the water pump replaced at 44000 miles. Not under warranty. Another known problem with all Toyotas they just say normal wear and tear. So much for the great Toyota reliability they keep advertising. Found out about the rust just in time to stop the wife from buying a new Camry xle. Will never buy another Toyota.

I own a Toyota Tundra truck which I purchased new. There were serious issues with the truck and apparently there were recalls which I did not get. The entire drive train is badly rusted and the vehicle is not safe to drive. It only has 17,900 miles on it. Toyota is not willing to take responsibility for the vehicle and their representative has been quite rude each time I have called. The cost of the needed repairs is approx. $6,000.00.

I bought a 2014 Toyota Tundra. It is already rusting and while driving I feel as if the engine is starting to go bad in little ways. I got suckered into overpaying for the truck from a dealership and have regretted buying it ever since. Only 40 thousand miles.

My grandmother recently purchased a used 2000 Toyota Tundra from my son. Not knowing the extent of the undercarriage rust. I had the vehicle inspected and it failed. I looked into a recall that I was notified of and took it to my local Toyota dealership. They then tell me that there is nothing they can do about the rust because the warranty had ran out on 3/31/16 for the campaign and they were not provided the chemicals nor the equipment to apply the corrosive preventer, that if I wanted it fixed I should take it back to New Jersey where it was originally purchased. I contacted Toyota and their statement was, "well if the inspector says it does not need a new frame then there is nothing we can do, and only cold climate states have the corrosive chemicals." If you are going to make and sell vehicles they should stand by their product and fix their screw ups. Very disappointed in Toyota and their customer service.

I am still driving a 2002 4x4 Tundra Limited, 87000 miles, I bought new. Sorry that some owners are/have experienced poor quality work, quality, craftsmanship, etc. with their trucks. This does cause me to take a step back considering my next purchase. From 1977 to 2002, I owned Chevy and Ford trucks. This is my one and only Toyota product. Something could break down today on my truck, but for 14+ years, this is the best truck I've ever owned. I had a engine light sensor (circuit board/chip) replaced 6-8 years ago. That's it! I am diligent about maintenance for my truck. The Toyota dealer I bought the truck from are the only people to touch the truck for service. I have friends that are waiting/hoping for me to sell. My words may not help, but I wish the best for those of you having problems with your Tundra.

Purchased a 2016 Tundra, (200 miles from home) we noticed a vibration, we didn't think anything of it as the road we were on was bad, but the longer we drove, and the further away from the dealer we got, we saw it was not getting any better. So we decided to head home and go to our local dealer to figure out what the problem was. After heading to our local dealer, they said it was the tires, and we were no longer welcome at that dealer. So we went to another dealer only to hear the same crap. So we went and purchased a new set of tires, and also tried another set of rims, still had vibration.

I own a well maintained 2003 Toyota Tundra. There have been multiple reports of defective frames. I recently discovered mine is now among them. I brought the truck in for a frame inspection in 2012 and was told it passed. According to what I've read it had to have marble sized holes in it to qualify for a new frame under a "campaign " which expired in December 2012. I wished I had known of the replacement option at that time as I would have pushed them for a frame. I put my faith in the dealership and in Toyota and took their word for it. BIG MISTAKE! I filed in a claim with Toyota which is being denied because the "campaign" expired in 2012. No frame replacement, no buy back, no credit towards another vehicle. NOTHING. Very disappointed in Toyota. I have been loyal to the brand since 1988. That ends today!!!

There are 6 bolts that hold the bed to the supports on the frame. The 2 near the tailgate are fine. The 4 remaining bolt locations are rusting terribly. One is wide open now. To the point you can see the ground. Put it this way I can place my hand in the opening. I told the dealer, Toyota on Nicholasville in KY, when they sprayed my frame. They wouldn't even look at it. Told me to contact Toyota. They were no help whatsoever. You would think they would try to help as this impacted whether I buy from them again. I bought many thru them before but none since. I contacted Toyota and sent them pics of the bed rust problem. They would not do anything about it. I have a few friends with this truck & theirs are in the same shape. It rusts because water/dirt gets between the support & the bed. Toyota put mastick around the support but not completely around it.

Me and my husband have a 2006 Toyota Tundra that we bought this year. Me and my friends went on a camping trip Friday, 13 of November. We were driving down the highway on November 14 going 70 miles an hour, then turned onto a dirt road. About a half a mile up the road the ball joint broke causing the tire to flop over and break the axle and the tie rod. That was about 8:30 in the evening. We tried calling AAA but they said they would not come till the morning. So we went back to camp. Came back in the morning to call the tow truck. When we got there the truck was gone. So we spent Sunday trying to find the truck. We found out that It had been towed to a town called Whitehall in Montana.

2002 Tundra Limited. As I understand it, Toyota recalled 110,000+ vehicles including mine. Apparently, before I was the owner, it had a rear cross member serviced and truck had a rust inhibitor treatment. I recently was having some exhaust work done and it was pointed out to me that the frame is rusting through. Yes, all the way through. I can poke my finger right through the frame. I contacted Toyota and was shocked to find out that the recall ended 12-31-13. (I believe that was the date). INCREDIBLE. LIKE RUST ISSUES WERE GOING TO GET BETTER AFTER THAT DATE. They said since my frame wasn't replaced prior to that date that there was absolutely nothing I could do. Any advice on where to get further exposure to this unbelievable issue is welcome. .

My 2003 Toyota Tundra that I carefully maintained and had the frame inspected and treated by Toyota in 2012 has just been deemed unsafe to drive by my Toyota dealership due to frame failure due to rust. I had only 94,000 miles on the truck. I just assumed that I would get a credit, probably small, towards a trade in or the like. Toyota's response to my sudden loss of a truck from frame failure. Nothing. Zero. No advice, not frame repair, no trade in credit. Nothing. My truck that was on paper worth over 7000 dollars on Friday was now worth $250 as junk on the following Monday.

The steering has been shaking between 60-70 mph for the past several months. I have taken it to the dealer and of course they cannot duplicate the problem. The truck only has 30,000 miles. Last year when I took it the dealership for routine oil changes their technician made a note that the left ball joints are leaking. They deliver my car to me without saying anything about it. Before I pull away from the dealership I notice the notation the tech had marked. I get out of my truck and ask to speak to someone about the leaking ball joints. Service advisor tells me "No need to worry. You still have plenty of time," until my warranty runs out.

My customer experience has been horrible as Toyota headquarters is not addressing the need for a new frame to ensure my safety and the public's safety. Priority Toyota inspected the vehicle in Aug 2015 and stated the frame needed to be replaced; the dealership immediately generated a report and documented the failed frame with photos showing the rust perforation despite Toyota's service campaign solution of a CRC application.
