Takata recall - because the recall notice sent by toyota advises that i not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat, i have had only limited use of the vehicle for nearly six months.i filed a complaint with toyota, asking that they provide a replacement vehicle or buy the vehicle back (toyota case #1511190602.since the vehicle can not be used as intended, it is my opinion that toyota should be required to offer resonable compensation and/or an amicable solution.further, it is my understanding that the problem with the airbag is more likely to fail in areas prone to high humidity.for most of the year, this truck is parked within 50 feet of lake erie - from may to september - normal daily humidity is generally over 80%toyota should be required to offer compensation - this is a serious defect.to so drastically limit the owners use of the vehicle with no known date for a solution is not acceptable.again, toyota should be required to offer fair financial compensation or a comperable loaner vehicle (including suitable insurance coverage) to the vehicle owner's satisfaction.
Takata recall.the recall started almost a year ago for the los angeles area.the suggestion toyota gave me until the inflator is available is to transport no person in the front passenger seat.this is our adventure vehicle: snowboarding, kayaking, road biking, mountain biking, camping, scuba diving, etc. I do all of the things with my wife and friends.am i really expected to transport no one in the front passenger seat for this long?it is completely unfair to put my family and friends either at risk or to make it almost impossible to use my truck the way it was intended to be used.my complaint is that it is taking too long to get the inflator needed for toyota to fix this dangerous problem.

We received a notification regarding a safety recall for our toyota tundra 2006. It says that toyota doesn't currently have the parts to repair the passenger side airbag which may be under pressure and could deploy at anytime.we were advised not to utilize the passenger side of our vehicle until we are contacted for a repair.this advise has not been possible since we have another car in the shop and we have needed to commute together.we do not feel that we should have to rent a car.it's unreasonable that toyota would expect their loyal customers to "wait" for a repair that is their responsibility and in the meantime not use their vehicle.it has been over three weeks since we received the recall notification and we have not heard from toyota that our repair can be scheduled.we believe that toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time and we want this recall to be remedied immediately for the safety of our family.thank you

I have been trying for a year to have the air bags replaced under the recall with maita toyota and folsom lake toyota dealerships in california.i just got off the phone and they parts could still take a year to come in.this is nonsense.why are they allowed to not have the parts needed to replace a dangerous situation that is their fault.why do i have to assume the risk of having my face blown off because they don't want to spend the money to make things right.as usual the corporations get away with murder while the individuals pay the price.the dealerships need to be made to make things right and get these safety recalls taken care of.

I just called my local dealership and was told the parts to make the repair are on back order for at least 5 weeks.the dealership said "we will call you when they come in".seriously, the parts are not available and i am told to no let anyone ride in the passenger seat until it is fixed?i don't have another vehicle to drive and my husband carpool everyday 5 days a week.what am i supposed to do for the 5 weeks until the part comes in.i believe 5 weeks is an unreasonable amount of time to wait for such a cruicial piece of equipment that is risking death or severe injury.the problem is moisture and for heavens sake this is florida with daily rain and high humidity.

I received a safety recall notice for airbags from toyota who "strongly recommends that you have this safety recall remedy performed immediately.if you do not follow the instructions in this letter, you should not drive your vehicle."when calling for an appointment on july 28, 2015 at toyota of fort worth, 9001 camp bowie w blvd, fort worth, tx i was told that they wouldn't have replacement parts until september 23, 2015.i'm unable to park the vehicle for 2 months, it is my only transportation. I believe that "toyota has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time", what is my recourse?

Takata recall. Airbag recall. Safety recall: e04. 2006 toyota tundra. Experiencing hardship and inconvenience to business due to excessive wait for new parts to remedy defective parts in recall. Shameful lack of response from toyota to remedy this deadly safety issue and to make right by owners inconvenienced by toyota product malfunction.
My truck has a recall on the air bag, the recall stated do not have anyone in the front seat. I have handicap people who cannot get in the back seat. If someone hits me my passenger can be injured or killed. I called to get an appointment for replacement and it is up to 4 months out. Under the circumstances this is unacceptable and i feel toyota should provide a rental car till the air bag can be replaced.

Takata recall still waiting to be able to use this vehicle safely. Unacceptable waiting time! was told today that "they send them at will" and "it looks like it will be a lengthy waiting time but you are welcome to check back periodically"!!! this an urgent safety recall and has resulted in deaths!
Takata recall-we received a letter from toyota a month ago stating that "toyota has completed parts preparation for vehicles in your geographic area".i contacted the dealer and was told there is a national back order of the part and that it would take 3-4 months for the part to come in.until then , no one is to drive in the passenger seat of the truck which makes the vehicle virtually unusable.the recall has been in effect for almost a year and now we are being told it wll be another 1/3 of a year before it is addressed.

Received an undated letter of recall for a defective airbag. This was an interim notice with a remedy but no idea when it can be fixed. I called toyota customer experience and they gave me a case # 1508251905.they told me to call the dealer close to my area to see when parts will be available. No one knows when parts are going to be in my area .iam paying for a vehicle that i can't put anyone in the passenger seat due to faulty air bag thatmay injure or kill if seated in the seat. Toyota needs to at least give us an idea when this problem can be fixed.

I was informed of the recall in the summer of 2014. It has been nearly a year and a half since the notification. I was told parts were ordered and i would be notified and scheduled for replacement when the parts arrived. I've contacted dealers multiple times and was told the same thing, when parts arrived. The initial letter told me not to have anyone ride in the passenger seat (for a year and a half.) i think i've been patient long enough.when this all started i was in lexington ky. I am currently in okeechobee fl. I've contacted dealers in each area.
Jan. 2, 2021dealer (advantage toyota of valley stream) refused to completenhtsa recall no. 19v-741.dealer stated that they do not do recall service on weekends.toyota corporate's recall letter states that a loaner vehicle would be provided.advantage toyota states that they do not have loaner vehicles, regardless of what day or time i would be willing to schedule the service appointment.dealer did not offer any alternative transportation options (ride home, paid taxi, etc.)contacted corporate, advised that the dealers are privately owned and toyota inc is neither affiliated nor liable for dealership actions.toyota recommended that i pay out of pocket for the expenses for a rental car and request reimbursement at a later date.i thought it would be of interest to the nhtsa this example of toyota's lack of interest to remedy a mandated safety recall.toyota sends multiple letters indicated a serious safety issue with a vehicle they manufactured.then, dealerships make it difficult (if not impossible) to have the recall service completed.toyota then excuses itself from liability by stating dealerships are privately owned.convenient.feel free to contact me should you have any additional questions pertaining to this matter.

A 1992 ford f-250 (2 door) towing a portable cement mixer, estimated weight @350-450 pounds, crossed the center line and struck a 2006 toyota tundra crew cab (4 door) head on.both vehicles estimated speed was 50 mph.all drivers and passenger were wearing seat belts, airbags did deploy. The f-250's driver sustained 1 detached rib plus cuts and bruises.in the toyota, the following injuries occurred:passenger: broken left ankle, 7 broken ribs, sternum and clavicle fractures, 7 inch leg laceration, 5 inch hand laceration, cuts & bruises.driver: broken right ankle, brain contusion/concussion (visible impact spot on windshield - see below), broken rib, cuts and bruises.toyota's occupants confirmed that the engine/transmission intruded about 2 feet into the passenger compartment, consistent with the ankle injuries.it also appears from photos that the windshield was pushed back into the driver, although the belt and airbag could have not provided adequate protection also.frontal photos of the toyota show, apparently, that the bodywork detached from the frame - the front of the frame is clearly visible & does not look seriously damaged, with the bodywork (including the bumper) pushed back substantially.it seems to me there are several possible defect/design issues here:1.engine and transmission came straight back and did not deflect downwards, causing the lower extremity injuries. 2. Multiple rib injuries despite occupants being belted suggests excessive airbag inflation pressure.3.body to frame attachment failure, exacerbating intrusion of engine and frontal collapse/compression.the accident was investigated by the california highway patrol (report available) and occurred on state route 178 on may 27, 2015, about 25 miles east of bakersfield, california.

Toyota is being dishonest and scamming consumers on the safety recall for the front passenger airbag inflator module. I received a recall letter on july 22 and called local toyota dealer the same day. They set up an appointment on july 28 to take care of the recall. The letter from toyota is written to cover their negligence and liability by stating to not use the trucks passenger seat. This basically takes the vehicle out of use for many things a truck provides outside of a single driver. July 28 - the local toyota dealer tells me after 2 hours that toyota does not have the parts and i will need to come back at a later date. Again toyota has limited or removed my ability to use the vehicle as intended. No date on parts were given by toyota dealer. A july 28 call to toyota usa customer experience center yields the following - toyota states they told the dealers that parts are not available and do not know when they will be available. Toyota says the dealer should not have scheduled an appointment. Looks like toyota can not get the basics of communications down. Bottom-line - toyota is not doing the repairs, does not know when it will and vehicles have to be limited for use or not used based on the toyota "strongly recommends" liability statement to not allow passengers.now i have to wait and hope someone from toyota contacts us when the parts are there as i have fulfilled my part to contact toyota and return the truck.

Takata recall - unacceptable how long this recall has taken to correct.one of our two vehicles is unable to be used as a family vehicle and has now gone past the point of being an inconvenience.have received absolutely no information since the original notice.how was toyota able to pass the state inspection with this recall in effect?
I received recall notice for defective pass side airbag approx. 4to5 months ago. Saying not to allow anyone to ride in front pass side of vehicle.

Urgent safety recall notice received. Our local dealership says they can only get 1 repair kit a week from toyota, so it will be 2 months before we can get this fixed. In the meantime, we are told no one should ride in the front passenger seat. This does not seem like a timely remedy to a dangerous defect.

Received a safety recall notice from toyota some time back in regards to the passenger air bag.notice does not indicate when the remedy can be performed, but does recommend not allowing anyone to ride in the font passenger seat.this is beyond words.how is this possible, put some pressure on the manufacturer.it is their problem, make them fix it now.telling someone not to use a passenger seat in a pickup is asinine.recall is pathetic.

I received a recall after being assigned to gtmo cuba. I have had many honda vehicles have their air bags that were recalled replaced here in guantanamo bay,cuba. I contacted toyota and got no response on sending a representative to repair any vehicles on this military installation. I have sent several email with no avail. Please assist all us faulty toyota owners in cuba. Honda has stepped up on several occasions to help sailors and soldiers here protect their families.

I am being denied use of my 2006 toyota tundra due to the extended delay in replacing the passenger air bag because there is no other safe place my wife can sit in the vehicle.so i can only use it by myself for short trips to the store.for longer trips i have to make use of another vehicle and rent a trailer if i have to move any items, that we need to do on a regular basis.toyota should stop its foot dragging in replacing the defective passenger air bags, particularly on vehicles where the passenger has no other safe option for sitting.

Toyota is being dishonest and scamming consumers on the safety recall for the front passenger airbag inflator module. I received a recall letter on july 22 and called local toyota dealer the same day. They set up an appointment on july 28 to take care of the recall. The letter from toyota is written to cover their negligence and liability by stating to not use the passenger seat. This basically takes the vehicle out of use for many things a truck provides outside of a single driver. July 28 - the local toyota dealer tells me after 2 hours that toyota does not have the parts and i will need to come back at a later date. Again toyota has limited or removed my ability to use the vehicle as intended. No date on parts were given by toyota dealer. Call to toyota usa customer experience center yields the following - toyota states they told the dealers that parts are not available and do not know when they will be available. Toyota says the dealer should not have scheduled an appointment. Looks like toyota can not get the basics of communications down. Bottom-line - toyota is not doing the repairs, does not know when it will and vehicles have to be limited in use or not used based on the toyota "strongly recommends" statement to not allow passengers.now i have to wait and hope someone from toyota contacts us when the parts are there as i have fulfilled my part to contact toyota and return the truck.

4/12/17 i called to schedule replacement of my recalled air bag vin:6s457928 toyota tundra 2006mgr. Nancy (toyota dealership south blvd. Charlotte) refused to schedule appointment with out me providing my phone number. She would even let me talk to her mgr. Tod grub or leave message for him. She was plain rude so i asked her to give me something in writing "refusal to replace air bag due to customer unwillingness to release phone number" she refused that too. I tried to educate mgr nancy that all you need and all you can get in this situation is my title and my id. I hope that you see and address the room for improvement and risk they keep us in.
Takata recallwhile truck was at dealership having an electrical problem troubleshot was informed by dealership about air bag recall and that recall would be done at same time.passenger air was replaced at this time.after truck sat a dealership for extended period eventually got truck back.everything appeared normal.after several months to a year started noticing an odd appearance on the passenger air bag cover.this area began having a sticky feeling to it.placed a paper napkin on the air bag cover and had part of the napkin stick to the cover.during one of the recent heat spells with the interior of the truck reaching a high temperature discovered that the air bag cover has been spray painted to match interior color of truck.this makes that area of the dash look disgusting plus you can no longer lay an object there without it getting stuck to the dash.am able to push paint and see that original color of air bag cover is black.

Received note for replacement a long time ago.toyota can not procure an airbag in 6 month??are they really intending to replace it or do we have wait until someone gets hurt??working in the industry i really wonder about their excuses.
Takata recall- according to nhtsa recall number 15v285, this recall was issued on june 16, of 2015. I just received my recall notice from toyota last week, a full nine months later. Is this delay permissible? my mailing address is known to toyota and it hasn't changed in four years. This is very upsetting to learn about so late- not know my grand kids or others should not have been in the front passenger seat. Also, regarding nhtsa campaign number 16v065000- how long should i expect to wait for a recall notice? the dealership tells me they can do nothing until toyota notifies them.

This is not a complaint about a specific incident; it's a complaint about how long it's taking for toyota to implement its recall. Toyota's instructions advise no one ride in the front seat until the repairs are made to the airbags.it has been almost 5 months since the recall.my four person car has been a three person car since the recall went into effectit has rendered us unable to drive our family of four effectively denying us the benefit of the bargain of the vehicle we purchased.this delay is inexcusable.

I have a friend who had a 2006 toyota tundra that was involved in a serious accident. The trucked rolled over from front to back and coming to a rest on all 4 wheels. The side impact air bags deployed but the fronts did not. The vehicles dashboard was blow apart upon impact and the front end is completely smashed in.
My complaint is against the ruling."the national highway traffic safety administration has ruled that toyota must recall nearly 160,000 tundra pickups built between 2003 and 2005 in order to deactivate the front-seat passenger air bag cut-off switch in each truck. The tundra's fail to meet any nhtsa regulations that require vehicles equipped with air bag cut-off switches to also have latch (lower anchorages and tethers for children) systems. Deactivating the cut-off switches was deemed less expensive than retrofitting the tundra's with the latch system."great ruling, how does this protect my 6 year old sitting in the front, in a booster seat using the seat belt. Booster seats don't require a latch system but his weight is below what is considered safe for airbag deployment. My scenario is exactly what the cutoff switch was intended for, my 6 year old occasionally riding in the front with me. This ruling has caused toyota to factory disable the front switch in my '06 double cab tundra, making the front seat very unsafe for a child in a booster seat. Way to go, thanks for thinking of everything.
My 2006 toyota tundra sxp has had a battery killing symptom since i purchased back in 2006. I did not realized the "cause" after it kept repeating many times during the warranty period. Battery will be exhausted (died) when passenger door was open and close without open and close the driver door. In other word, if only the passenger door was open and close and the driver door is untouched, then the battery surely died. Quality toyota dealer has been swapping batteries (maybe 3 times). My last service was about a month ago with the same symptom after a new alternator was replaced and was promised that this should be the cause. Same symptom happened a week after this last service (11/18/2011).the toyota service manager [xxx] and his service assistant [xxx] at quality import kept telling me that the truck have to be turned engine on daily for about an hour for the battery to retain its power? fault designed/recalled? i have had many toyotas, none of them needs to do such thing even parked for 3 to 4 week, including our 2000 sienna with more than 130,000 miles, and also including the chevrolet cargo 1500xpress (>23000 miles). My 2006 tundra with just over 22,300 original miles. We have been scare to drive it on a long trip and/or to any where that we may have to park for a few hours. We always have a jumper cable in the car in case the battery went bad and/or drained down and could not start up.we have contacted quality toyota service [xxx] [xxx], and have also requested if his service manager, [xxx], can contact us for a resolution, but we have been ignored since december 20th, 2011. Our last service was with on november 16, 2011 with the cost of $238.36 for a new alternator . We agreed to pay for this in the hope that the problem (battery killing) was finally fixed even though this same symptom has happened and has been service during the warranty period.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Secondary air injection pump needs replaced.code p1441 and p1444 error code.this recall only effects 2007-2009 models although the same problem was happening in 2005 and 2006.mine being a 2006 isn't covered by a recall for the same issues.this is a 2k plus job.thanks
When shifting from park to drive over/drive turns off. You hit the button to turn it back on and start driving and it automatically shuts off again, no matter your speed. It has turned off on me doing 70mph and really bogs down the transmission. I found if you wiggle the rubber boot at the consul it will turn it back on. Read on google the wire is stripped from all the years of shifting and is shorting it out.
Why have my odi's not been addressed ? 10183308, 10288886, 10293097, 10293888, 10314732. I have a 2006 toyota tundra that has problems with it since nov. 2006. That is when i purchased it. Unfortunately for me i didn't have repair orders written up. I am not on the recall list and that's fine. But regardless i want my vehicle fixed. I was in an accident in oct. 2009 due to sua. I reported it to my dealer and my insurance carrier. The vehicle was looked at by a factory rep. It was decided by toyota that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. I was told by toyota to get an estimate on repairs. That was a preliminary estimate of just under $2000.00. I was told not to have the repairs done until i heard from toyota. To this day of march 5, 2010 the vehicle has not been repaired. I chose not to have the truck fixed because i was hoping toyota would, as mr. Burton from texas told jim lentz, "if you know where a vehicle is that needs to be investigated go get that vehicle, i don't care if it cost one hundred thousand dollars, go get that vehicle. I must say mr. Lahood you have done that. This is the reason mine is not repaired. I have been writing emails to anyone that cared. The truck is still here? i have been in contact with people from toyota about getting my vehicle purchased back and then they can test it. I'm reminded all the time that mine is not on the recall list. I say so what! it is not a safe vehicle to drive, my wife will not drive the truck and doesn't even want to be a passenger. It is a time bomb waiting to go off. Likened to russian roulette whenever you turn the ignition switch. I know that you have gone out and "got that vehicle". When sir, will you get mine? i hate wasting money to fix something that needs to be dismantled and gone trough with a fine tooth comb. I also share the responsibility to any person that may buy the vehicle to disclose the imperfections about the vehicle.please help!!!!
On 10/02/14 the orignal battery in the truck failed. It was replaced with an interstate battery,#mtp24. This battery failed and was again replaced with another interstate battery on 10/8/15 at no charge.this battery failed and was replaced again today, 4/18/16.greg leblanc toyota @ 220 s. Hollywood rd., houma, la 70360 tested the vechicle and found nothing to be drawing the battery down.they found nothing wrong with the battery but when when we tried to start it(parked in the driveway at our home) after using it on friday night, it would not turn over in any fashion the next day.my question is there something else that could be wrong with the vechicle that may show in the testing that it is working but could be faulty.i doesn't make sense to go through 3 batteries in 18 months.i checked to see if there were an recalls on the interstate batteries but didn't find anything from 2006 to present
Inflated the tires to ensure proper psi's prior to operation.tire warning light shuts on and off. Tire warning lights will remain on when vehicle is started, idling, and in operation.this is still an ongoing problem that has not been fully resolved.the tire sensors could be a contributing factor which is not being reported as well.went to the local dealership and was told that they will not fix unless the recall is under toyota's website and not the nhtsa. This is a potential safety issue that could result in an accident, injury, or death.
Vehicle kicks out of gear while driving would shift real hard into second gear taking off then when up to speed would kick out of gear as intoneutral and coast randomly.
Power window controls are intermittent . Window freezes in the down position at random. So far only affects front passenger window . Toyota says since i didn't buy it new , too bad for me . I thought i saw a power window master switch recall on the news ? also the passenger airbag has shut off . Which i guess is a good thing . Toyota says just don't have anyone ride there ! really ? i have no word from them concerning how long must we all wait for repairs . My truck was under 90,000 miles and less than 10 years old when this happened , now its a year later . Also the drivers door release cable broke so you cannot get out . I fixed that myself , but what if the windows and the ,doors all failed and trapped you in there ? window stops and starts working randomly parked or driving , air bag shut off while parked , door cable broke while parked . Please tell me why the site says 1 recall ? i thought the window master switch was recalled . It should be . Thanks
My 2006 toyota tundra pickup truck has developed maximum acceleration on seven (7) occasions when i made hard accelerations in order to pass other vehicles while also engaging the resume mode of the cruise control.on the first two (2) occasions i applied the brakes heavily with no results and my vehicle continued to accelerate and i was forced to knock the truck out of gear and the engine continued to run a max rpms and i keep pumping the gas pedal until the engine finally slowed.the last time a similar event occurred i had a open highway after passing a slower vehicle so i cut the ignition off and my vehicle slowed down, i turned the ignition back on and my truck went to max acceleration again.the third time i cut the ignition off i heard a thump in the floor board close the gas pedal and the vehicle slowed and operated normally when i turned the ignition back on.i was traveling on a interstate the first two times this problem happened and just avoided hitting other vehicles.on the last occasion i had time to try a different solution.in each event the breaks were not effective at all.on 12/2/10 my toyota dealers service dept. Checked my truck after i made the above complaint and found no problems.in the past i had raised the issue with the dealers service dept and regional toyota rep. And was told by both that the 06 tundra did not have acceleration problems. Updated 01/17/12updated ivoq 03/30/12
My young son (7) was attemping to play the video station that is part of my new toyota tundra's video system.the unit started to catch fire.within a minute of being plugged in into the behind the headrest video, it started to smoke, black smoke.i quickly pulled over the truck, ran to the back and took the unit out of my son's hands before he was injured.the unit was extremely hot.
05/20/06 driving at approximately 62 mph with cruise control on.suddenly truck simply shuts off.it was as if key had been turned off.all systems were dead.drifted over to side of road and came to a stop.after about 20 minutes of continued attempts was able to start truck and returned home.dealer came with replacement suv and took truck back to dealership.have heard nothing since.suggested they replace computer module, as replacing fuel pump did not eliminate problem.
2006 tundra problem accelerated rapidly away from a traffic light in order to merge with traffic, reaching a speed of 65 to 70 mph at that time.drove for about two miles, turned into my neighborhood and up my street.parked truck in driveway, no idiot lights at that time, gauges were normal.after about 20-30 minutes attempted to restart truck.it would crank strongly, begin to start, sputter and die.attempted several more times, with same result.it acted like it was not getting fuel.after 10-15 minutes of cool down,it still refused to start.finally managed to get it started by pumping gas pedal and repeatedly cranking.finally it caught, but required revving to stay running.at last it settled down to an idle. Tundra problems continued:friday 4/14/06accelerated gradually away from a stop light down an exit ramp and onto the highway.truck began hesitating or stumbling for about 30 sec., then smoothed out.saturday 4/15 /06turned right and began accelerating up an incline with full load of passengers.truck began stumbling; acting like it was not getting fuel, upon coming to a traffic light, it stalled when i came to a stop.no check engine light came on, it was like i had turned off the key.managed to get it started, and it ran the rest of that evening without further incident.this occurred about 6:00 p.m. And the air temperature was in the low 80s.tuesday 4/18/06was driving around the baltimore beltway at speed, when the engine began missing at a speed of approximately 65 mph.this continued for at least two, and possibly three minutes.traffic suddenly came to a complete stop.at this point, the engine died, and again there was no check engine light, the engine just turned off.4/19/06on the drive from owings mills to waldorf, i needed to pass a truck towing a boat.as i pressed on the gas, the engine began to stumble again and would not accelerate.
Thursday 5/11/06idle upon start up goes to 2000 rpm, and stays there for approximately 1-1 1/2 minutes, before slowing dropping down to around 1500 rpm.it seemed to really be straining against the brake, when i put it into drive, again, not the feel it had when it was brand new.friday 5/12/06it not only had the high idle, but while driving at highway speeds seemed to have a random surge while driving.couldn't detect a pattern to it, whether on incline, decline, or flat roadway.upon arriving at work, i placed the transmission into park, and idle was approximately 750 rpm (by dash tach) when suddenly it raced up to 1500 rpm, stay there for about 30 - 45 seconds, then returned to 750 rpm.this surge situation certainly presents a possible safety problem, if the surge was to override the brake pressure and lurch forward at stop, or in bumper to bumper traffic.
I bought this toyota brand new. I have been worried about the horn on my toyota not being very loud. This is a safety issue. I have taken the horns off and bought another set of horns that are 2 wire for connection. Your horn is one wire and the frame of the horn is the ground. Finally i figured out, after the switch, why your toyota horn is not working or is working poorly. Your design relies on the case of the horn grounding to the frame of the vehicle for the negative pole. The whole horn is painted so there is little chance of grounding to negative pole. The mounting bracket is painted, further hampering the negative connection. The mounting bolt and frame are painted making a negative connection almost impossible. I believe this is a serious design flaw. The horn is required and should be working very well and not marginally. The horn on the toyota is marginally safe.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact received nhtsa campaign number: 19v741000 (air bags) and inquired of manufacturer and dealer resposnibility in regards to the recall remedy. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under an unknown air bag recall at an unknown dealer however, he was not satisfied with the repairs as the dealer left adhesive glue visible on the dashboard and paneling that was removed to replace the passenger side air bag. The contact spoke to a supervisor at toyota customer experience whom informed him to take the vehcile to another toyota dealer for the current recall remedy however it was not guaranteed that toyota would be financially responsible to replace the dashboard as it was not a part of the recall. The failure mileage was 18,000.
Air pressure in one tire constantly deflates. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that due to the porosity chrome of the wheels, air leaks out from the wheel causing the tire to deflate.
Inflated the tires to ensure proper psi's prior to operation.tire warning light shuts on and off. Tire warning lights will remain on when vehicle is started, idling, and in operation.this is still an ongoing problem that has not been fully resolved.the tire sensors could be a contributing factor which is not being reported as well.went to the local dealership and was told that they will not fix unless the recall is under toyota's website and not the nhtsa. This is a potential safety issue that could result in an accident, injury, or death.
The truck went intolimp mode" reducing power and acceleration.. At highway speeds, in traffic, or in remote places, this creates a serious safety issue. Issue appears to be "air injection pump" and/or related valves. This is a well-documented issue with the toyota tundra encountered by owners of the 2006 tundra, and should be included in an earlier expanded warranty program. Repairs are however out of warranty, are potentially 3-4 thousand dollars and should be covered in previous toyota program for the 2007 model year.contacted toyota customer support to no avail.
Vehicle startup started to make loud noise at startup. Sounds like electric vacuum. Secondary air valve.bank 1 obdii code p1441.
'2006 tundra dbl cab limited 2x4'the gears in the rear differential broke back in july 2012 at 55000 miles, toyota dealer repaired it just as my warranty was about to expire then it just happened again on 10-9-14 at 71000 miles, exactly 8 years of the date when i bought it brand new in 10-9-06. Only 16000 miles on the new gears. Either the toyota dealer didn't repair it right or the tundras have crappy differentials. Ill never purchase a toyota again, plus they're over priced.
This started 1/7/2017 coming home from work back gravel road heater would not work noticed heat gauge went all the way up then came down to normal worked ok for a while did it again. Drive home approx. 10 miles did not get hot but temperature gauge registered hot slowly drove home put water in after cooled off. Had to leave at home till i made appointment to bring in. Did not bring to dealer which is 40 miles away drove 8 miles slowly to mechanic. He replaced radiator, filled with new coolant mileage 91003. Did not mess up until 2/27/2017 same road registered hot drove home shut off added water, had to sit for a few days till opening for appointment. He did not fix he checked out found 2 leaks one dealing with transmission and the other dealing with steering or ball joints. He is concerned because it ran out of fluid even thou i filled up asap. Never had a problem before. This is what he says possible head gasket leak near steering rack. And between engine and transmission possible front seal. Also i will be calling the dealership tomorrow in olathe, kansas.
Replacement of secondary air injector pump and associated valves.extremely high failure rate which puts engine in limp mode. This could cause a very serious problem vehicle wasin motion at time of failure.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. While driving 35 mph, the engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that thesecondary air injection valve and pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.
Secondary air injection pump is making a loud humming noise at a cold start up. I pulled the error codes. P2441, p1445 and p1442. I contacted the toyota dealership and the cost for the new pump is $2300. That is such a big expense for a 7 old truck and to have it repaired will be more than $3200. I believe that the design and construction of the part are flawed and replacement should be covered by toyota.## vin failed ##
Autonation toyota would not install rear tow hitch due to severity of frame rust. Cautioning that any sort of impact would total the vehicle. After reading several reviews stating very similar rust problems i have started an online petition against toyota. Even if the frame is replaced the rust has affected many components of the vehicle. Being a safety issue. Severe bodily harm or death can occur.
Dealership says vehicle can go into "limp home mode" reducing power and limiting speed to 40mph. At highway speeds, in traffic, or in remote places, this creates a serious safety issue.issue appears to be "air injection pump" and/or related valves. This is a well-documented issue with the toyota tundra encountered by owners of the 2005 and 2006 tundra, and should be included in an earlier expanded warranty program.repairs are however out of warranty, are potentially thousands of dollars, and should be covered in previous toyota program.
While towing a travel trailer on a mountain pass freeway in wa state with no shoulder. Going up the hill and started to put the foot down on gas to get speed up for the upcoming steep hill, the check engine light came on and all power was lost, engine went into limp mode with no place to pull over. I had to travel at 8mph, up the hill until i found a suitable pull out spot for the truck and 30ft trailer. I was almost was rear ended multiple times even with emergency flashers going. This has happened 2x, both in the exact same spot doing the exact same thing. The first time was only a few months after my extended warranty ran out in and the dealer was unwilling to do anything to help out. But they were more than happy to charge $100 to tell me it would cost $4200 to repair it, including the secondary $1800 egc vacuum pump, which only runs, as the dealer told me, 30-45 seconds at start up, then the pump does nothing. Why does this occur after running 2+ hours??the second time it happened, i was towing the same trailer at the exact same place ending up going only 8 mph uphill again on the hiway w/60mph limit!! this time at the advice of a friend, once out of traffic. I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes, reconnected it and the computer had reset itself and the truck ran fine the last 45 minutes home. I no longer travel that road with no shoulder as i am afraid it's going to cause a major accident. Toyota is aware of this problem in the 05-06 models. Yet are fixing it under recall on 07+ models but won't help anyone else with an '06 or older. This is my 3rd toyota and last. The first time it happened i had 60000 miles, the 2nd time it was at 68500 miles. I only have 87500 on it now, at 10 1/2 years of ownership. I am actively looking for a truck that has a company that will stand behind its brand. I'm done with toyota. They still haven't fixed my airbags either!!
Secondary air injection pump needs replaced.code p1441 and p1444 error code.this recall only effects 2007-2009 models although the same problem was happening in 2005 and 2006.mine being a 2006 isn't covered by a recall for the same issues.this is a 2k plus job.thanks

I pulled into my furniture store and had the truck in drive but stationary and was getting ready to put the truck in reverse to park into my spot. All of a sudden the truckacceleratedlike a bat out of hell and i ended up crashing into the store's entrance causing a lot of damage to both the vehicle and the store's building. It could have been worse because i almost ran over my daughter. I know what happened. I did not press the gas pedal by mistake. This is a terrible situation. This should not happen to anyone.
Vehicle started to make loud noise at startup. Sounds like electric vacuum. Secondary air pump and associated valves defective. $2777.00 cost to repair not covered by gold extended warranty.

Tamara recall - i was exiting the freeway, making a left hand turn onto the city street, i was traveling approximately 25 miles per hour. As i entered the intersection, on a green light, a 1996 gmc yukon ran a red light, travelling approximately 40 miles an hour and hit me on my front end, damaging the bumper, fender, door, hood and bed on the drivers side. I was wearing my seatbelt but the impact was hard enough to propell me upwards, causing my left shoulder to hit the frame above the window which caused a grade 3 separation of my left collarbone.
2006 toyota tundra, v8when the vehicle is started the idle goes to a high rate of rpm.if you place the vehicle in drive, it will lurch forward if the brakes arenot firmly pressed.the rpm is higher in the winter.the dealer states, that this is normal and a part of the computer control system.i consider this a potential hazard.the problem has been evident since i purchased the new vehicle in 2006.
I started my vehicle and began to drive down the street. My truck light came on and i almost got into an accident because i lost power. I took it to repair shop and got the code of 2445. When i talked to toyota i was told that it is a faulty air pump and 3 valves for the air operated injector system a $3500 dollar repair. I was told that moisture gets into the pump which causes the pump to send insulation into the valves. This sends the vehicle into limp mode causing a loss of power. I'm lucky i was not on the interstate or it may have killed me. Toyota knows about this defect and refuses to acknowledge the problem. They changed the way it is configured in the newer models and issued a recall for those but refuse to fix the older models. This is a clear lack of safety on their part. If this was to occur on the interstate then people will get hurt. I ask you to seek out toyota for the safety of drivers and make them recall these parts.
2006 toyota tundra 24,00 milesa month a go the truck would not come to a stop at a stop sing. The engine revved, i had my foot on the brake the truck started hopping i had the brake pushed so hard.it was very brief.3/18/08 i was getting on the interstate. When i let off of the throttle the truck kept accelerating road the brake to slow it down for 20 miles before it stopped3/19/08 it did the same thing when i took it to the dealer for about 6 miles.the dealer could not duplicate the problem.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle would not accelerate after being stopped at a light. The vehicle was driven to an authorized dealer in limp mode where the contact was informed that the failure was the result of water intruding into the engine air intake system.

The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000. The vin was unavailable.
I bought a 2006 toyota tundra sr5 back in 2007. I have had my vehicle serviced every since i have bought it. My truck has always smelled like rotten eggs and i have had the injectors cleaned 4 times since i've owned it. The problem still exist. I have contacted toyota about this and they say there has been no recall...please look into this problem and also the tire pressure warning system light keeps malfunctioning.people spend too much money on these vehicles and last thing we all need is to fork out more money on a vehicle that is more less in a nut shell a lemon. Everytime i turn around it's something wrong with this type of vehicle. Thanks for your time and look forward to hearing about this problem.

Moisture inside left headlight lens, affecting brightness of light.
Front turn signal assembly holding brackets broke and became dis attach from truck body. The hold assemble is made of plastic. While driving down the road the left side turn light assembly was hanging by wire.this happen early in the morning on a state highway.
One of my cargo lights in the rear center of the cab burnt out and i went to replace it. When i took the cover off i noticed what looked like plastic on the light bulb that was burnt out. So i took a closer look inside and i noticed above the light bulb that the plastic had melted and it was the same way over the other light bulb. Now there is a hole in the plastic above each light bulb. So after i put the cover back on i made the lights come on by opening the truck door and i felt the cover and it was very hot to the touch. I am thinking this could possible start a fire if the doors remain open to long.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, a loud flapping noise emitted from the rear exterior of the vehicle.the contact later noticed that one of the two fuel tank straps was fractured and causing the fuel tank to partially detach from the vehicle.the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where both fuel tank straps were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 122,000.updated 11/5/13
While traveling at 65 mph (posted speed for the us 20 bypass around south bend in}, i drove over a slight bump coming off an overpass bridge. My wife and i heard a whooshing noise from under the truck that was repeated as we drove down the road. When we reached our destination i found the front gas tank retaining strap had broken. The gas tank was dangling just above the pavement and the noise was the plastic skid plate hitting the road. The strap was clearly rusted through after only 98000 miles. It was a full tank of gas. Fortunately there was no fire. Toyota refuses to do anything to help with the repair or accept any responsibility.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that upon refueling the vehicle, he noticed a minor fuel leak. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the plastic weld on top of the fuel tank was disconnected, resulting in a fuel leak. The contact was advised to replace the fuel tank. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance.

I am filing this complaint with reference to odi #' s 10183308 and 10288886. These odi's were put in by me. These are lead up's to this complaint. After the collision with the polaris i drove my vehicle home. The next day i drove the vehicle to tim's toyota in prescott az. Where the vehicle was purchased. They looked at the vehicle and said that they would call for a factory rep. To look at my vehicle. This was to be on nov. 9, 2009. I did drive my vehicle to yarnell az for deer season. I drove the vehicle back to prescott to meet with the factory rep. He did whatever they do and said he had all the information he needed. He also told me to go ahead and get an estimate for the repairs but not to have it repaired until i heard from toyota. The preliminary estimate is just shy of $2000.00. This estimate was given to jeff locke to be sent to toyota. My question to all of this is, why did toyota allow me to drive this vehicle after the meeting, when they know that i am driving a time bomb. Also why hasn't national highway safety involved itself into an investigation of its own? i now know the verbiage for the incident. It is called " sudden unintended acceleration" which is tied together with the cruise control, throttle body and other electrical, vacuum controlled , mechanical units. Look it up for yourselves. It will open your eyes to what is going on with this condition. My vehicle sits in my garage so anytime national highway safety wants to do an investigation is fine with me. Toyota has not done a proper evaluation of the issue. My insurance company is behind me 100% and is now going to contact toyota to try to find the cause for "sudden acceleration" and cruise control units to behave the way that they are. Racing to over 5000 rpm's and hunting gears the way they do is just not the way they are supposed to operate. Toyota would have us believe that a floor mat is at fault and now the whole pedal assembly. Or is it that we don't know the gas from the brake pedal?

Sometime in august of 2008 i was driving home from work in my 2006 toyota tundra, the car in front of me was driving very slow.i got irritated, changed lanes and punched my gas pedal.when i took my foot off the gas pedal my truck kept accelerating.i put on the brake and it still didn't stop accelerating, only when i tried again and put the brake on as hard as i could, i heard a "pop" noise and the accelerator went back to normal.i didn't take my truck in to be repaired right away because i had it for about 2 years and it never did that before and it only did it when i punched the gas pedal.i also had no eye witnesses and didn't trust the dealer.so i tried to reproduce the acceleration 3 or 4 more times successfully during light traffic and with witnesses, each time when i put on the brake very hard i heard a "pop" and the accelerator went back to normal.before i took my truck to the dealer about 2 months later i went on the freeway during light traffic to see how fast the tundra would go and if it would stop by itself.the truck accelerated to about 75 mph and made the "pop" sound and went back to normal without putting on the brake.i took it in to the dealer and explained everything that had happened and that i had witnesses.they said they would check it out and seemed like they already knew about it.when i went back to the dealer to pick up my truck i brought my wife.the service rep. Took me aside so my wife couldn't hear and told me "officially we didn't find anything wrong, unofficially it did what you said".then he went on to explain that the old accelerators used to use cables to give the engine more gas, but the new accelerators like mine use a vacuum system to give the engine more gas.he said that my vacuum system had gotten dirty inside, they cleaned it out and they didn't think it would happen again.i am writing this because i recently read about a woman in the newspaper who was being prosecuted for crashing in her lexus.

When refueling the vehicle, the gas pump nozzle will on occasion eject itself from the filler neck on the vehicle, when the pump system shuts off at full tank, and fall to the ground, spilling gasoline. The same pumps do not eject their nozzles on my two other cars.
When fueling the vehicle, the filler nozzle will eject from the vehicle when the nozzle shuts the fuel off upon filling the tank.i have had one instance of the filler spout ejecting before the tank filled.
I've owned the truck for a year bought on dec 2019 3rd owner. I see that mines not listed as recalled for frame rust but i'm not sure why when the gas tank looks like it going to fall off and seems only critical sections are severely rusted like the gas tank and where the rear shock absorber sits. I could only see these spots now because they are hard to spot places where the frame joins.

The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 60 mph on the highway, a tractor trailer entered the contact's lane. The contact depressed the brake pedal and it became stuck to the floorboard. The contact described the failure as a complete loss of brake function. In an effort to avoid a crash, the vehicle was downshifted to third gear and then second gear to stop the vehicle. The contact drove to toyota knoxville (10415 parkside drive, knoxville, tennessee 37922, (865) 312-6618) where it was diagnosed that the brake lines failed. The front and rear brake lines were repaired. In addition, the fuel tank bracket was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided the contact with case number: 1808302087. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.
It started with my gas tank falling off the frame.my wife was driving the truck at the time the gas tank band broke that holds the gas tank to the frame. I then found a hole in the frame on the driver's side, just in front of the sway bar mount, large enough to place my hand in to the center of my palm.obviously, this vehicle is not safe to drive.i then contacted my dealer that i purchased the vehicle from, down east toyota of brewer, me.the lady i spoke with (lynn), from down east toyota of brewer, maine, was condescending and arrogant eluding that the problem was somehow my fault. I learned from her that apparently there was a recall for rusted frames.i do not recall getting this recall information.but let that go, my dealer that i bought the truck from (down east toyota in brewer, maine) has told me that i should feel fortunate that i got 10 years from the truck.since this is as long as they are supposed to last anyways.my dealer (down east toyota of brewer, maine) told me my option was that they have a person that buys used vehicles and i could make an appointment with them to see what the junk buyer would give me for my truck.or, i could pay to have the frame replaced.given the severity of this kind of issue, and the safety issues raised with a damaged frame, i would have expected to receive notification through registered mail of the issue.or at least, a follow up letter to insure the first notice was received.as i said, i do not remember getting such notification.i have written to toyota and have heard nothing back as of yet.
Gas tank rear strap is broke and gas tank is hanging down. This truck has never seen a michigan winter i'm in florida for the winters and the truck is in near showroom condition.i don't know steel was produced for the straps but it is dangerous,especially for use in securing the gas tank ,they should have been stainless steel.this should be a recall ,i have found out they were replaced if your frame was replaced so why not just replace the straps if need be.
Secondary air injector pump failed. Hear loud vacuum cleaner noise from pump when starting cold engine, lasts for about 30 seconds. Vehicle only has 67,400 miles on it. There is a recall for later models, not 2006's.$2000 repair.
'2006 tundra dbl cab limited 2x4'the gears in the rear differential broke back in july 2012 at 55000 miles, toyota dealer repaired it just as my warranty was about to expire then it just happened again on 10-9-14 at 71000 miles, exactly 8 years of the date when i bought it brand new in 10-9-06. Only 16000 miles on the new gears. Either the toyota dealer didn't repair it right or the tundras have crappy differentials. Ill never purchase a toyota again, plus they're over priced.
On date stated, 7/12/11, i took my truck in for oil change at the grand blanc motorcar toyota dealership. Tech came out to inform me there was discoloration in the rear differential fluid and i should have the fluid changed. I said okay.since then i have had 2 years of rear end vibration and chatter in my first drive of the morning. I called the dealership immediately upon hearing and feeling the vibration. They had me bring it back and they replaced the fluid and placed an additive and said it should be fine. It has not been fine as they replaced the fluid a third time and last year i had midas look at the problem and they replaced the fluid. It was okay for awhile but the vibration and chatter in my turns has returned with a vengeance. I have done internet research from toyota for recalls or problem solving and they refer me to the customer care at the dealership.
A very disturbing vibration coming from underneath the truck during acceleration between 30 to 40 then again from 60 to 70. The whole truck shakes !!! i have taken it to the dealer but of course everything is ok by them. No where to turn .
Rust rust rust
Driving on the highway at normal speed of 65 mph; suddenly i noticed an increase in rpm's and a pull of the truck, kind of pulling back and forth. I then noticed the o/d light on, i wiggled the transmission shifter while driving and the o/d light went away; the truck rpm's returned to normal for the speed i was driving. Since then, it has happened every day at any given time; what i am doing is the same or just pressing the push button until the light goes away. I tried taking my truck to my local dealer where i bought my truck and they told me there was a charge for inspection plus repairs. I have seen many other online posts where tundra owners have the same problem, i believe this is a safety problem since the truck may pull or hesitate at any given time and the possibility of losing control and causing serious injury exists. I would like to direct this issue to toyota and have them fix this issue as soon as possible.
Had truck towed due to broken brake line and was advised by mechanic that frame was severely corroded with holes above front wheels and was not safe to drive.rear end also severely corroded.contacted toyota dealer, no warranty or recall on 2006 frames although tundras and tacomas older and newer than 2006 are getting warrantied frame replacements due to recalls.dealer went to the garage that had towed the truck and inspected the frame.dealer advised us to get holes in frame fixed at our expense.dealer verified that there was an earlier recall to spray frames, but the spray had limited availability from toyota and they were unable to fulfill the recall when we brought the truck to them for this service.the vehicle currently has 150,000 miles on it and should have been drivable for many more.we lodged a complaint with toyota usa on 11/14/2018, complaint# 181 114 1536 and are next entering a complaint with the nh attorney general.
Ltr from (tx) reporting problems withhis 2006 tundra motor vehicle. The cruise control has a problem down shifting 2 gears on minor grade for no reason, which caused the engine to rev to over 4000 rpms.the vehicle would not shift into overdrive while driving on the freeway. The brake will fade while sitting at a traffic light. The stopping distance on the vehicle was much longer than any other vehicle the consumer had driven.the vehicle was getting very poor gas mileage.there was an odor from the air condition. The tire sensor light illuminated, but it was resolved.
Tamara recall - i was exiting the freeway, making a left hand turn onto the city street, i was traveling approximately 25 miles per hour. As i entered the intersection, on a green light, a 1996 gmc yukon ran a red light, travelling approximately 40 miles an hour and hit me on my front end, damaging the bumper, fender, door, hood and bed on the drivers side. I was wearing my seatbelt but the impact was hard enough to propell me upwards, causing my left shoulder to hit the frame above the window which caused a grade 3 separation of my left collarbone.
Rusted brake lines, rusted differential leaking fluid
Vehicle kicks out of gear while driving would shift real hard into second gear taking off then when up to speed would kick out of gear as intoneutral and coast randomly.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle vibrated while driving between 30 and 60 mph. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the driveshaft failred, causing the vibration failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 79,000 and the current mileage 80,600. The vin information was not available.
Repetitive growling/whirring sound with vibration at approximately 35 mph at the front drivers side of vehicle.taken to dealer for diagnosis.no problems found or noted.taken back to dealer - same symptoms diagnosed as bad front differential in need of rebuilding/replacement.
A 1992 ford f-250 (2 door) towing a portable cement mixer, estimated weight @350-450 pounds, crossed the center line and struck a 2006 toyota tundra crew cab (4 door) head on.both vehicles estimated speed was 50 mph.all drivers and passenger were wearing seat belts, airbags did deploy. The f-250's driver sustained 1 detached rib plus cuts and bruises.in the toyota, the following injuries occurred:passenger: broken left ankle, 7 broken ribs, sternum and clavicle fractures, 7 inch leg laceration, 5 inch hand laceration, cuts & bruises.driver: broken right ankle, brain contusion/concussion (visible impact spot on windshield - see below), broken rib, cuts and bruises.toyota's occupants confirmed that the engine/transmission intruded about 2 feet into the passenger compartment, consistent with the ankle injuries.it also appears from photos that the windshield was pushed back into the driver, although the belt and airbag could have not provided adequate protection also.frontal photos of the toyota show, apparently, that the bodywork detached from the frame - the front of the frame is clearly visible & does not look seriously damaged, with the bodywork (including the bumper) pushed back substantially.it seems to me there are several possible defect/design issues here:1.engine and transmission came straight back and did not deflect downwards, causing the lower extremity injuries. 2. Multiple rib injuries despite occupants being belted suggests excessive airbag inflation pressure.3.body to frame attachment failure, exacerbating intrusion of engine and frontal collapse/compression.the accident was investigated by the california highway patrol (report available) and occurred on state route 178 on may 27, 2015, about 25 miles east of bakersfield, california.
Drove my truck about 200 miles that day. Pulled into my driveway and unloaded a formica counter top inmy garage then pulled my truck to it's normal parking spot. Walked back to the garage and saw a rather large grease spot. Looked at the rear of my truck and the rear end housing was leaking around the pumpkin area. Took it to my mechanic and he told me my whole rear end housing was rusted out and had to be replaced. Since this is a problem with these trucks (frame was replaced a year ago) my mechanictold me there are no good used rear ends to be found and it would require a new rear end housing. If toyota had made a recall on frame issues, why haven't they done the same with the rear end housing. A catastrophic failure of the rear driving train seems to me would be a major safety issue!!
Toyota recalled for frame rust.vehicle taken apart and frame replaced.vibration presentbetween 30 and 70mph.vibration gets extreme when not under load (ie slowing down).has been back at dealer 6 times to try to identify/repair. No resolution.toyota customer experience department recommended i take recourse. Contacted state attorney general who is trying to mediate a resolution.ag office recommended i file a complaint with nhtsa as well.
Takata recall 2006 toyota tundra sr5 4x4. Purchased about a year ago. Power steering failed a couple months in while driving to work. Found fluid leaking i crawled underneath and founf the entire frme rusted and both anti roll bar links have separated from control arms. The bushings and nuts were missing and the powersteering link is from rotted boot on the pasenger side.
The rear differential cover plate is leaking gear oil.the cover plate is fixed in place not bolted on.the excessive corrosion of the entire rear axle assembly is the problem.the only solution is to replace the entire rear axle assembly.there is an existing recall for toyota tacomas so i contacted toyota and they will not address the problem without a recall initiated by nhtsa.should this cover plate totally fail while on the highway the resulting in loss of control the resulting accident may cause loss of life for this vehicle and other vehicles traveling on the same highway.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact was driving 30 mph and there was an abnormal increase in engine rpms causing the transmission not to shift correctly. She depressed the brakes and the tachometer increased to 2 and would not decline. In addition, when she attempted to shift into reverse and released the brakes, the rear tires began to spin and she crashed rear-end into a boulder. The rear bumper was damaged and there were no injuries. The dealer stated they were advised by the manufacturer not to diagnose the vehicle.the vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle has had three transmissions since purchase. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 53,000.updated 11/9/10 the consumer stated the transmission had to be replaced three times. She also stated there were times when the vehicle would just take off at a high speed when the accelerator pedal was tapped lightly. When the vehicle was started, the engine would race extremely high. The high idle would also effect the way the vehicle shifted into gear. Updated 11/12/10the drivers side has a grommet and the floor board has a grommet, but there is no hook to hold the floor mat in place. Also, the transmission has been replaced three times. Updated 11/1/610
I was driving north out of phoenix arizona on i-17 just past black canyon city, with my cruise control set at 75 mph. There is a very long hill going north to sunset point. Prior to approaching the hill i canceled the cruise so that the transmission wouldn't hunt gears. I drove up the hill at 65 to 75 mph (no cruise). When i made the top of the hill at sunset point and leveled out, i accelerated the vehicle to 75 mph and hit resume. The engine raced to 5200 rpm. I redline at 5700 rpm. The transmission did not follow suite. It was as if i was in neutral revving the engine. I immediately canceled the cruise and drove a mile or so without cruise, then decided to try it again. Everything worked normal. I have been in contact with my dealers service dept. And they are baffled. They have not looked at it as yet due to their schedule. As soon as they can get me in they will. They did say that there should have been a check engine light, but there was not. They are hoping that the onboard computer recorded it. Not only is this a major safety hazard, but it could have caused my engine to blow up. I'm not sure what reaction my wife would have had. She drives all the vehicles we have and they both have cruise, yet she is not that familiar wit rpm's and redlines and the issue that follow.when i have allowed the cruise to pull me up an incline it usually drops 1 or two gears and the rpm's are around 3000 to 3200. This i consider normal. I had a 1999 toyota tacoma with a six cylinder engine and cruise, so i am very familiar with the system.i purchased the vehicle from tim's toyota in prescott, i also brought to their attention a noise that i heard in the right front suspension and they are going to take care of it under a new recall that has not even been sent to customers, nor was the service dept aware of it.
Toyota tundra 2006 double cab 4wd automatic transmission. I was 4 wheeling and stopped behind a polaris, by approximately 5 feet. I was in drive and 4wd and brakes applied. I stopped because the polaris had stopped. All of a sudden with the brakes applied my tundra lunged forward at a very high rpm crashing into the polaris. At that point i put the transmission into park and shut the engine off. Had i not responded with the action i took i would have shoved the polaris with 2 people into a very deep wash.needless to say there is a great deal of damage done to my toyota. The toyota has major damage to the front end. Had i not taken the action that i did, we all would have ended up in the deep wash with major injuries.when i arrived home i immediately called tim's toyota in prescott arizona where the vehicle was purchased. The 2 people that could help me with the situation were not available so a call to them tomorrow will be in order. I have not contacted my insurance as yet as i feel that toyota is the responsible party for the accident. I had written to you quite a long time ago regarding the cruise control surging to 5000 rpm's when approaching even a minor incline. So i don't use it anymore.i am afraid to drive my truck into my garage for fear that the truck will lunge forward, only this time it will crash into my hvac and water heater, both are on propane.
This filing is in reference to my 2006 toyota tundra sr5 v8 4.7 ltr 10,000 miles. For the past few weeks of driving the above referenced vehicle i started to notice a knocking metal sound under the center console when accelerating and braking... I took no immediate action as i found it to be a very light sound. After a few more days of driving the knock became more noticeable i was more alarmed, when i got home i got under my truck with a flashlight and started to take a look around, after careful inspection i found that 3 of 4 12mm hex bolts on the automatic transmission mount/ crossmember were missing further more the case was that the rear transmission mount located near the driveshaft were loose enough that could be moved with minimal strength with my hand i was able to recover 1 bolt that fell into the crossmember along with a plastic retainer. I quickly tightened the loose bolts and realigned the mount took the truck out for a quick test drive and the sound stopped totally,the next morning i contacted my local toyota dealer and purchased 2 new hex bolts that came out to $ 3.40. After this u can say that all is now well, i believe this should be looked into as there maybe other similar units out there with the same issue, this could cause major damage to the vehicle and also possible inflict an accident.
Defective 4 wheel drive from factory. Two days after purchase i had the opportunity to use the 4 wheel drive. I attempted to engage the 4 wheel drive and it was not operating. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and it was repaired after 6 days in the service department. I was told the 4 wheel drive engaging unit was installed improperly at the factory causing it to fail which also caused the electronic control unit to fail. Both units were replaced. I asked the dealer why the 4 wheel drive unit was not tested before leaving the factory or dealer and was told that this system is not tested at the factory or during dealer preparation.
Seat belt malfunction on passenger side.belt will not seize when brakes are suddenly applied.mechanism in rear (extended cab) area has apparently separated which, in turn, has caused the front seat belt to be inoperative..
I found the driver's seat belt on the 2006 toyota tundra showing premature wear and fraying, the spot is in the center to the belt, in a location that sits on the drivers lap, not near the buckle or anywhere it should rub.
Driving home at the end of our vacation, my wife and i were in seperate vehicles, she in front of me on i-80 going west bound.we'd just gotten off the george washington bridge and as traffic was building and slowing, she braked ahead of me and when i pressed my brake it went to the floor.i couldn't stop in time before rear ending the car my wife was driving.it was a low speed impact, maybe 25 mph.no police report and we just kept driving after checking that all was ok.i took the truck to the shop to have the brakes repaired and the mechanic called me to say the brake lines and everything associated needed to be replaced.he stated he cannot do the work due to the fact the truck is rusted beyond repair and he felt unsafe to work underneath the truck for fear of it falling on him.i found there was a recall on the truck for rusted frame issues and the window to respond was missed due to personal reasons involving care of a since deceased mother.i tried to talk to toyota but the short answer is i was too late even though therusted frame is only worsening with time due to from what i understand is a manufacturing flaw with the method these trucks were produced.
First complaint was in motion came to a signal light started applying brakes to stop came to stop briefly as i was pushing brake pedal could feel grinding like under pedal and truck began to move forward while holding brake then continued to pump brake several times to try and stop it because it was moving me and my children into moving traffic intersection..this issue has happened on a few occastions second complaint. Driver front lower balljoint grinding, popping scrubbing sound when wheel is turned any little bit while driving orstopped and popping metal sound even when anyone gets in or out of the vehicle.also since i purchased the truck in 2013 the u-joint has been replaced 3 times due to shaking taken off and slowing down when taken part off metal shavens would pour out from the part in small pile.
My service provider reported in october 2018 that the underside of the vehicle was very rusted.i had them replace the rusted muffler.during the test drive after repairs the front brake line burst because of rust.i had it repaired.during pressure testing after repairs the rear brake line burst because of rust.at this point, the dealer showed me that the frame was so deteriorated that it required replacement.the cost of this repair would be more than the blue book value of the vehicle, so i parked the truck in my driveway.if my wife and i would have been driving when the brake lines burst, we could have been killed. I have never heard of brake lines rusting and failing before.toyota claims that i was notified to have the frame inspected in 2015 for possible replacement.i was not notified.toyota refuses to do anything to help with my problem.this vehicle with every option available at the time of purchase is no longer usable.how many other tundras out there have the potential of brake lines failing because of rust.
A very disturbing vibration coming from underneath the truck during acceleration between 30 to 40 then again from 60 to 70. The whole truck shakes !!! i have taken it to the dealer but of course everything is ok by them. No where to turn .
Rusted brake lines, rusted differential leaking fluid
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 10 mph and approaching a stop sign, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed. The contact coasted the vehicle to a field until it finally stopped. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. When the vehicle was placed on the lift, the mechanic noticed that the frame was severely rusted, including all the other components beneath. The vehicle was taken to kinderhook toyota (1908 ny 9h, hudson, ny 12534) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle had severe rust failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 143,766. The vin was unknown.
Air pressure in one tire constantly deflates. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that due to the porosity chrome of the wheels, air leaks out from the wheel causing the tire to deflate.
Anti rust coating was applied in 2016 as part of a recall- coating was not properly applied and moisture got underneath. Now, 2020, most of the coating has peeled off, revealing a 3 inch hole in my frame and a comepletley broken cross member near the gas tank. This is unacceptable to me that royota would cover up this problem like this and not replace all frames. This is not safe. My truck runs amazing, and only has 105000 miles on it. I expect something to be done!
Autonation toyota would not install rear tow hitch due to severity of frame rust. Cautioning that any sort of impact would total the vehicle. After reading several reviews stating very similar rust problems i have started an online petition against toyota. Even if the frame is replaced the rust has affected many components of the vehicle. Being a safety issue. Severe bodily harm or death can occur.
Brake pedal went to floor. Brakes had worked fine when vehicle was parked. When i startedthe vehicle,there was no warning light on dash, no indication that brake booster assembly (toyota part number 470500c03) had failed or was failing.vehicle was towed to dealership and showed diagnostic codes c0200,215 and 1223.dealer confirmed no warning lights to indicate this catastrophic brake failure.under different traffic or driving conditions, this could have been a serious or fatal event.this vehicle has been serviced only by the toyota dealership where it was purchased new,at every recommended interval, and never missed any scheduled maintenance.i contacted toyota customer service today at 800-331-4331 (ref #[xxx])and was told they had no record of similar complaints.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On january 10 2020 my 2006 toyotatundra broke down. I was driving home from work it was around 4:45pm when i heard a clunking noise coming from my drivers back tire, i pulled over and checked out underneath and my tires did not see anything got back in vehicle and backed it up to a side street it made the clunking noise. I called my husband he came out and checked the truck out too couldn'tdetermine the problem. So we had it towed to a toyotadealership ( we have towing service plus we bought a extended warranty) since it was pass 5 pm the dealership didn't look at the truck till the next day. When they gave me a call they told me that my sway bar broke and the clunking noise was my brake drum and pad it was so rusted it busted in pieces. He also said thats not the real concern & issue he told me that my whole frame was very rusted & corrosion he stated that my truck was very unsafe to drive. After work i went to the dealership and was in complete shock the frame was so bad some parts of it you could put yourfinger right through it. Later we did some research and read about toyotatundra recall on frames. We also went back to the dealership that sold the truck to us. They were no help. We are asking for help. I'm the main driver and i love this truck paid good money and still paying. I don't understand how this truck missed the recall in the pass. The truck is in excellent shape body and interior. It only had 91,000 when we bought it. Do we fall under the recall? please let us know what we need to do. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota corolla. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the brake pedal was engaged the brake pedal went to the floorboard. The contact engaged the parking brake and brought the vehicle to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic found that the brake lines were rusted and leaking. Additionally, the subframe and chassis were extremely rusted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 172,000.
Master cylinder leaking somewhere. No fluid on the ground so it's internal?
I own a 2006 dbl cab tundra in wi. Back in 2013 i was driving one and and someone was honking at me from behind. So i pulled over. They told me my gas tank was about to fall off. Sure thing i went under it and the gas tank strap was rust and only 1 of them was holding it up. I didnt some research and notice there was a recall on the frame rust. So i took it in for a inspection. The dealer told my that it didnt qualify for a replacement but they they can do a undebody coat and they replaced the tank strap too. So 1 yrs flew by and now my passenger side rear lower strut bracket broke off. It was just hanging there. This truck is falling apart. A few monther later while driving down the road. I was going about 35 mph and ther boom! i heard something loud. I ther braking but no brakes! i almost good hit twice running a red light. Scraiest day of my life. I almost doe that day. I finally rolled to a stop. I check the back and sure enough the driver side top strut bracket broke off taking out the brake distributor in the rear and also cutiing through some eletrical wires. This truck is a lemon! toyota need to buy this truck back!
Total loss of braking system. Pedal went to the floor when leaving a store parking lot. Was able to stop vehicle by using emergency brake. Noticed a ruptured solid brake line under drivers side running towards rear of vehicle. All brake fluid was gone from master cylinder when checked. Also noted a lot of corrosion on frame, brake lines, and other parts of undercarriage. Frame was previously coated as part of recall several years ago. Vehicle was towed to toyota dealership in winston-salem, nc. Had to have two solid brake lines replaced along with rear brake shoes and drums. Could have been killed or seriously injured if this happened at speed or in heavy traffic.
This started 1/7/2017 coming home from work back gravel road heater would not work noticed heat gauge went all the way up then came down to normal worked ok for a while did it again. Drive home approx. 10 miles did not get hot but temperature gauge registered hot slowly drove home put water in after cooled off. Had to leave at home till i made appointment to bring in. Did not bring to dealer which is 40 miles away drove 8 miles slowly to mechanic. He replaced radiator, filled with new coolant mileage 91003. Did not mess up until 2/27/2017 same road registered hot drove home shut off added water, had to sit for a few days till opening for appointment. He did not fix he checked out found 2 leaks one dealing with transmission and the other dealing with steering or ball joints. He is concerned because it ran out of fluid even thou i filled up asap. Never had a problem before. This is what he says possible head gasket leak near steering rack. And between engine and transmission possible front seal. Also i will be calling the dealership tomorrow in olathe, kansas.
Severely rusted frame and brake calbers. The brake lines broke and i was unable to brake the truck so i put in neutral and gradnually came to a stop ina parking lotwith the assistance of the emergency brake. Mechanic told me he has had this with other tundras. I checked with toyota for a recall but was informed there wasn't one .
The airbag light it on my dash i need fix by recall by dealer
I have a 2006 toyota tundra and on 4/5 i was driving on the freeway and my brakes did not stop the vehicle, i had to use my emergency brake to stop.repair shop said that it the master cylinder was leaking brake fluid and i also needed new front brake pads and rotors.i had the car fixed at my own expense. Toyota has a recall for certain 2006 toyota tundra master cylinders leaking however when i called toyota customer service for reimbursement they said that my particular 2006 toyota tundra was not covered under that recall.last year i had the brake line leaking fluid x 2 causing my brakes not to work.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra.while the contact was driving approximately 40 mph the brake pedal was engaged and the vehicle spun out of control. The gear was shifted into neutral and repeatedly engaged the brake pedal. The contact was able to gain control of the vehicle. Whenever the temperature was cold and the road surface was wet, engaging the brakes resulted in the vehicle spinning uncontrollably. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The dealer stated that a vehicle without an engine brake shut off switch was unsafe in the winter. The dealer stated that they could not replace the engine brake or supply a shut off switch due to the labor. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 34,000. The current mileage was 49,000.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra.the contact's vehicle has had four brake jobs and two sets of rotors replaced.the service manager stated that the rotors were overheated and cannot be used.the cost to repair the rotors is $500.he noticed a black substance leaking from the vehicle, which alerted him to take the vehicle to the dealer for inspection.the vin, engine size, and failure mileage were unknown.the current mileage is 22,183.
I had borrowed my in-laws toyota tundra while on vacation.i had previously traveled down a street to an intersection to go to a bank while my wife was visiting friend with no issues.came back 1/2 hour later through same intersection, and the i hit the brake to stop for the stop sign at the intersection and the vehicle kept propelling forward. While i was standing on the brake, the anti-lock brakes were engaged and the vehicle kept being propelled into the intersection, where i ran into an armored van.i was ticketed for failure to stop at a stop sign.there were 3 people in the vehicle, my wife, son, and myself.there were no injuries.this had never happened before.the vehicle has since be traded off for a new one.
The contact owns 2006 toyota tundra. He purchased the vehicle in august of 2007 and noticed that the front brakes were wearing faster than the rear breaks. The rear brakes were not activating automatically to take the pressure off of the front brakes. The dealer is aware of the failure, but they could only adjust the rear braking system manually. The estimated cost for adjusting the rear brakes was $70.00. He will contact the manufacturer. The failure and the current mileage were 35,000.
I own a 2006 toyota tundra limited 4wd and have experienced the same type of braking problems that are being described with the prius.in icy and slick conditions my brakes all but quit working.my toyota is great, but something is wrong with the braking system in certain conditions.
Ltr from (tx) reporting problems withhis 2006 tundra motor vehicle.

The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the brakes faiedl when he depressed the brakes. The pedal goes all the way way to the floor. The brakes failed a couple times. The last time he hit a deer and damaged his vehicle because the brakes would not stop the vehicle. He has taken the vehicle to the dealernumerous times but they cannot duplicate the failure. He finallycontacted thetoyota manufacturerand they stated that is the way the brakes should be operating. The failure mileage was 42,000.the vin was unavailable.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 5 mph; when the brake pedal was depressed, the pedal went to the floor and the abs activated.the vehicle drove up over the top of a rock causing damage to the skid plate.there were no injuries sustained and a police report was not taken.the dealership was informed.
My husband and i purchased a 2006 toyota tundra access cab on 11/25/06 at toyota of fort worth texas . Less than 6 days later, we were driving home on a street that leads to our house,less than a mile,we have been traveling this road for at least 15 years. It was slightly raining, we approached the curve to the left on this road. Made the curve and all of a sudden the wheels broke loose, my husband tried to correct but the truck began to accelerate, then turned completely sideways and crashed into two trees that were less than 5 feet from the road. It also appears that the 4 wheel anti lock brake system wasn't working.
When applying the brakes on my o6 tundra 4x4 18,000 miles my stering wheel will jerk to the left and return. It does it more when brakes are hot from stop and go traffic. I am concerned what will happen on ice. I have had it to the dealer 4 times and have left it for 2 days for them to resolve this problem.they have not fixed or resolved the problem.they also had the toyota southeast rep look at it for 2 days and still did not fix the problem.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 60 mph on the highway, a tractor trailer entered the contact's lane. The contact depressed the brake pedal and it became stuck to the floorboard. The contact described the failure as a complete loss of brake function. In an effort to avoid a crash, the vehicle was downshifted to third gear and then second gear to stop the vehicle. The contact drove to toyota knoxville (10415 parkside drive, knoxville, tennessee 37922, (865) 312-6618) where it was diagnosed that the brake lines failed. The front and rear brake lines were repaired. In addition, the fuel tank bracket was replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided the contact with case number: 1808302087. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.
Looking at the complaints, this looks similar to odi id number : 10222095 date of failure: march 21, 2008. I was at a dead stop. I turned my steering to the left as possible. As i was rounding the turn slowly, the power steering was lost. I was unable to make the u-turn completely. I had to run off of the road. After driving straight to repair shop, the mechanic said the rack and pinion had to be replaced because the rods were bent to what looked like could have been service work related to the ball joint recall. I've only got 19800 miles on a 2006 tundra crew cab. No way this should occur with this few many miles. I'm just glad i wasn't at a high rate of speed and trying to round a curve. I don't drive it much and not used on a farm. It's been very well cared for so it shouldn't have caused that much strain on the rack.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. Whenever the contact drove the vehicle at highway speeds the vehicle began to sway from the left and right unless the vehicle speed was reduced. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where the contact had the rack & pinion replaced 4 additional times prior to the recent failure. The contact noticed that prior to the failure, the steering wheel would not return to the normal position after making a left turn. The current and failure mileages were 35,000.

Takata recall 2006 toyota tundra sr5 4x4. Purchased about a year ago. Power steering failed a couple months in while driving to work. Found fluid leaking i crawled underneath and founf the entire frme rusted and both anti roll bar links have separated from control arms. The bushings and nuts were missing and the powersteering link is from rotted boot on the pasenger side.

He did not fix he checked out found 2 leaks one dealing with transmission and the other dealing with steering or ball joints. He is concerned because it ran out of fluid even thou i filled up asap. Never had a problem before. This is what he says possible head gasket leak near steering rack. And between engine and transmission possible front seal. Also i will be calling the dealership tomorrow in olathe, kansas.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact noticed both front tires were wearing prematurely. The contact took the vehicle to a local mechanic where a diagnostic was performed and the mechanic informed the contact that the entire rack and pinion system needed to be replaced due to defective bushings. The contact did not have the rack and pinion replaced. The failure mileage was 61,393.
The right front steering tie rod on my 2006 toyota tundra rusted and totally disconnect. I have 48000 miles on the vehicle. Toyota company would not repair it under warranty. I believe the problem is connect to the ball joint recall problem on the toyota tundra.

Anti corrosion paint was put on the frame a year and half later and my truck will not pass inspection and toyota will do nothingthey want me to believe that the frame rusted out in a year and a half and was fine when they put the coating on
After driving 10 miles to town at speeds of 60mph dropped truck off at mechanics shop because was steering hard. Mechanic got into truck to drive it into shop, lower ball joint snapped off when he put it into reverse the front end dropped, could not steer at all, had to put truck in shop with wrecker. The night before this i was doing 70 mph in rush hour traffic. Was there a crash? no, but there sure could have been. There was a recall for 2006 tundra lower ball joints, toyota says my truck is not in recall, should have been.
Stabilizer links rotted off, fixed. Front end failing, falling apart at78,000 miles.also truck frame rusting badly, received recall 3rd notice a year after they expired it. I never received 1st 2 notices, they don't comenot registered mail. We had mail issues with usps! the regular mailman was out for 2 years with cancer so we had substitute mailmen,we didn't always get our mail, get other peoples mail etc.. We would of called about the recall if we knew! i called toyota corporate, they didn't care, said i had 3 notices, i only received 1 notice and it was a year after it expired! i am 2nd owner.the front end in the truck is falling apart, horrible vibrating/bumping and banging when driving down the road, truck now has 92k, i googled and it came back lower ball joint problem recall, 2006 tundra. If it was serviced by previous owner and ball joint failed again wouldn't berecalled covered again? how do you find out if it was fixed the 1st time? i don't want to put more money into it if it is covered under a recall!i bought it with 58k, it was always garaged and only did vacationtrips/highway miles, previous owner worked from home. I go 7 miles/day. And highway vacation trips. Previous owner was elderly and has passed away. Any service records i don't have, but he maintained it well!recalls should come registered mail!we also have a seat belt problem, they don't always work. They jam, don't recoil, get stuck.
While driving on highway, felt a and heard a bump (no bumps in road) and lost most steering capabilities. After pulling to side of road. I noticed tires were pointed in different directions. After looking under the vehicle, i could see large rust holes in the frame and the rack was no longer connected to the frame. Toyota inspected the frame under recall in 2015 and said there were no problems and painted only the rear portion of the frame with an anti corrosion paint which has now also rusted away. I believe the frame should have been replaced under the original recall instead of covering with paint that did not do the job.
While driving in the city my power steering went out and made driving difficult.upon taking my 2006 tundra to the nearest dealer to get it fixed they informed me the frame had a hole in it and that the vehicle was not serviceable.it appears multiple recalls for multiple models were issued but not 2005 and 2006.this is something that toyota should look at and extend the recall to these vehicles.
The truck has bad frame with many holes! the rusted frame! affecting the suspension and many others parts of the truck the front driver side frame itā€™s broken! i took the truck to toyota dealer in dalton georgia and. So they refusing to do the job and they sent me back with the same problem problem they took pictures of the frame the guy that that take care of me told me that it truck is not safe for driving!
I have experienced an issue with the steering of my vehicle for the past several months.steering requires an increased effort on my part. Also, there is a noise coming from the front suspension when i am driving.
I purchased this vehicle from another man. The truck would steer off when it would hit a small bump or hole in the road. I took it to goodyear to see if it was something to do with the alignment and found out the whole front end suspension and everything attached to it needed to be changed. This happens when the truck is motion and have had to change and rotate the tires more than once within this year. There is wear on the front tires on the outside. I will have to change them again when we fix the alignment.this also happens on any street and is pretty scary when driving on the highway.the tires sound like i'm peeling out or the tire is flat as i'm driving down the road. I can't make sharp turns because the tires start skipping. I have not made any repairs to it because i can't afford to pay the bill at this time. Only thing i've fixed is the tires. The lights on the dash show that the tires are low on air. The cost quoted to me would be close to $2000. I also heard from many people that the year i have with the tundra have had the samecomplaints as i have.it's a 2006 toyota tundra and is my first truck purchase for myself..my first vehicle was a 1983 toyota camry and i loved it!! i've never had any kind of issue with a toyota in the past and would like to continue to think anything but positive things!toyota's are definitely built to last and would love to pass it down to my son but unfortunately we have to postpone considering it's not safe for him to be driving. This is his last year in high school so hopefully we can get it back to him before the year is up.
My 2006 tundra truck lost control while driving on the highway on 9/11/2006.it happened very suddenly.my truck rolled over a couple times and stopped upside down in the highway.my truck was all damaged due to the steering problem.now i can't use it anymore.
I noticed the low tire light was blinking, and checked all the tires for pressure, and they were fine, then i looked under the truck and saw that the bracket that holds the round bar that is part of the steering mechanism, had actually pulled completely out of the frame due to rust, this truck frame was supposedly treated in 2014, and obviously did little to take care of the problem, of frame rot. Toyota is replacing frames on the majority of tundra's and tacoma's, but not my specific year. It is quite obvious 2006 tundra's have the same problem.
The vehicle has not been in a accident as far as i know and i bought it new with approximately 15 miles on the odometer. I am the only owner. Since the day i drove it off the lot there has been a slight to severe shimmy in the steering wheel. Every time i brought it in they would balance the wheels and add half a wheel circumference of lead to one or more of the wheels. Two different service departments have told me there is nothing they can do it is what it is. It causes my tires to wear prematurely which the dealership blames on poor tire psi. I changed out the aftermarket 20" bbs wheels the dealership put on and put 18" wheels on thinking it may help and it didn't. I took it back to the dealership and they told me they cannot help since i put aftermarket wheels on which i responded bbs are aftermarket wheels. They agreed and said but we modify the suspension to work with the 20" bbs wheels. I've been getting this run around since i took delivery and all i want is to get the shimmy to stop and extend the life of my tires.
I was leaving a parking lot when the right front ball joint failed. The wheel fell off, the suspension dropped down. I put the vehicle in park, turned off the engine and called for a tow truck.
Just after i did my 30k mile service on my 2006 toyota tundra my steering rack failed and took to dealership for repair and they said they would have the district representative look at my problems and he said that their was nothing wrong with my steering and he could hear no loud growling noise. Well 3 days later i carry it back to dealership and they decide the steering rack has now failed and they replaced it. Now only 14 hours after they replaced itis leaking very badly again and is making a growling noise once again. I called the dealership and they said bring it in monday morning 24 march for the to look at it and see what is going on with it.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the passenger side dashboard was sticky and discolored. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 95,000.
2006 toyota tundra sr-5 46k miles todate.rain, everytime precipitation is experienced, vehicle has not been repaired.rain leaks into passenger compartment around windshield. Complaintsall over the internet for tundra's tacoma's and rav4's.my problem began aprox 7/09 40,k miles. Windows fog, instruments possibly rusting, and other electrical components in passenger console/compartment subjected to h-2-0. Potential rust and mildew problem on floor and carpet respectively.
I received a letter from toyota telling me i needed to have my frame inspected at the dealership in 2014. I did this and the dealership said my frame was fine. Less than 2 years later my mechanic informed me that my frame was not fine and urged me to contact the dealer or toyota corporate directly. I did so but they said that the recall that had been placed on the frames had expired. I recently had some brake work done on the truck after my brake lines burst. The same mechanic informed me that the frame was so bad that he did not think it would pass inspection. I once again contacted toyota directly and they said their was nothing they could do. My truck is currently having the frame analyzed by a third party in hopes repairs can be made so that i do not have to buy a new truck. The truck has 112000 and i intended to put many more miles on it than that. Also related to the metal used under that truck, in 2014 the rear pumpkin rusted all the way through and i needed to have a new rear suspension put in. Furthermore, i took advantage of ziebart undercoating that the dealer was advertising where for the first 6 years i owned the truck, 2008-2014, i had it undercoated once every year. The fact that it had been protected with the undercoating the first 6 years i had it and then 2 years later was rusted through is an indication to me that their is some sort of manufactures defect.
Paint on front bumper came off when washing at carwash. A friend has a toyota car that had the same thing happen.the dealer will not fix under warranty.this is clearly a defect.they offered to have the local guy fix while he is on the lot.
I have a lot of frame rust. I have read that many have same issue. No one has any suggestions on what to do next. Some of these vehicles frames have rusted completely and are not usable.
2006 toyota tundra front end rusting out. 20,000. Miles on it. No salting on roads during winter in our area.
Plastic cover on radio shattered and i am told i try to pry it off anyone can look at it and see that no marks to indicate it being pried it has shattered at first i thought it was tighten to tight and vibration caused it after learning how it is installed it is a defect in the material used.
Frame is rusting nearly on half, at front suspension.
I had my vehicle serviced at a local toyota dealership to address the frame rust corrosion recall.corporate guidelines indicate the necessity to inspect, remove the pickup bed, remove any rust and reinspect for rust perforation.corporate allows 8-9 billable hours to the dealership for this service.my vehicles service was completed in less than 4.upon inspection, it is apparent that the dealership never removed the bed nor removed any rust prior to spraying the frame with its "crc".i had documented photographs to prove this point and then contacted toyota corporate.by toyota corporate's request, i returned to the dealership to have the vehicle inspected.upon inspection,the dealership's shop manager acknowledged that the bed was not removed and multiple areas of rust that had been left untouched.only further indicating that in addition to not removing the bed, the dealership did not bother to remove any existing rust from the frame either. The dealership refused to strip and properly treat the frame as indicated by corporate guidelines.i contacted corporate and they are refusing to take any additional actions.as it stands, it is questionable at best as to how long it will be before there is a potential failure here.this is no isolated incident either, there are many owners who are being defrauded in a similar fashion.five minutes on google will easily prove this point.as far as i understand, toyota settled with the frame manufacturer (dana corp) for around $25 million.so toyota sought out and gained financial reimbursement on their end but when it come to taking care of those who have been damaged, not so much.i strongly encourage anyone from the nhtsato contact me for additional details regarding the matter.i have multiple photographs documenting the issue and the failed attempt at covering it up.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact noticed a sticky substance on the dashboard near the air bag on the passenger side of the vehicle. The contact also stated that the top coat was melting and exhibited a shine, which caused a glare. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that this issue occurred to all vehicles. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.
Rattling noise (like a loose washer around a bolt) under the firewall.loudest at 1200-1800 rpms.vehicle has been brought to the dealership 15 times before a mechanic actually heard it.mechanic could not find the problem and it is still happening.
I received notification from toyota 4 years ago that my tundra had a potential frame issue regarding rust. I was instructed to bring it to a dealer for inspection which i did. I was told it would be inspected- if frame was intact but just rusted they would treat it with a coating , if it there were holes in the frame it would be replaced. My truck was at the dealer ( boch toyota norwood ma) for several days. I was told frame intact, it was treated with rust proofing and coating. Last week the brakes failed- it took it to my mechanic and was told the brake line was rotted through causing leaking of brake fluid. There was no accident. When he replaced brake line he told me frame was rotted with large holes in several areas.ibrought it back to dealer- told nothing they could do. I called toyota and they told me the same.
Frame has holes in frame alot of rust entire frame would not pass inspection 62,ooo miles on truck
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. While the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed oil leaking from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there were holes in the frame. The rear end housing was replaced, but the holes in the frame were not repaired. The contact was informed to take the vehicle to a dealer for inspection. The vehicle was taken to buckhannon toyota (63 brushy fork rd, buckhannon, wv 26201), but did not inspect the vehicle since nothing could be done. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle had no recalls and that the issue was due to the contact not taking the vehicle for undercoating, although there was no undercoating recall on the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.updated 09/07/17*lj

My 2006 tundra has a hole in the frame due to rusting out which has made the passenger side sway bar to come detached from the frame.toyota advised me this model year is not part of any recall for the known frame rust issue with toyota trucks and refuses to assist in any way to address this issue.completely unacceptable when toyota is fully aware of the frame issue. Toyota case # [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced for brake work when it was observed that there was corrosion on the frame. The vehicle was taken to koch 33 toyota (3816 hecktown rd, easton, pa, 18045) where it was diagnosed that there was frame corrosion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer back in 2013 due to sb-10058681-4896 for the frame. At the time, the vehicle was sprayed with an undercoating. The dealer informed the contact that due to the limited service campaign expiring in 2015, nothing could be done. The manufacturer confirmed that the limited serviced campaignd expired, but no additional assistance was offered except referring the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 75,079. The consumer requested to be advised of any information resulting from this complaint.
My vehicle recently failed inspection due to frame rust in the rear and possibly in the front of the vehicle. I previously had taken the vehicle to a local toyota dealer to inspect the frame during a recall notice. The dealership did not do anything to the vehicle. The vehicle has almost 196,000 miles and should last a lot longer. But it is useless now and the frame rust problems of these models is unacceptable. The frame should be able to last the duration of the vehicle and toyota has known about this problem for a very long time.
2006 toyota tundra truckbed started rusting several years ago. There was a recall for the rusted frame but not the bed. Surrounding metal area surrounding all screws that hold bed onto frame completely rusted. Golf ball size holes in bed as well. Rusting rapidly.when i called toyota corporate, the response was, "if we fix it for you, we have to fix it for everyone." ido not have the monies to repair a defective product.this is not right.spent too much on this vehicle.inside bed looks like the current pictures of thetitanic.i am at a complete loss. Should not have to pay for this defect.
Handed down 2006 tundra to my son, he took it in for small leak and the mechanic said frame was rusted so bad there were holes in it!! we had the "recall" work done in 2015. We were never offered a new frame, they said we only needed the spray. Now 5 yrs later we can't even let our son drive his own truck!! it has 230,000 miles. Still alot of miles left and the body has some minor blemishes but in good condition. Don't have any pictures right now, just found out about it. Called toyota resolution line and they said there is nothing they can do!! i refuse to accept this bc we did what we were supposed to do and they aren't even living up to their own "fix"!! cannot afford a new frame for my son right now! need help or guidance with this!
Frame has rust holes . Had to replace rearend housing due to rust holes.
My truck was recalled for rust underneath and was sprayed with under coating at that time. There is a lot of rust popping through where the bolts hold the bed to the frame. Rust is coming through several places including the bed frame bolts next to the cab. Is there anything that toyota can do, since this started with a recall?[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Frame rusted, toyota will not replace. Never sent me inspection notice, they say i missed my opportunity. Not happy, disabled and only transportation. Covered for a certain amount of time, but was never notified.
Frame rust on front of vehicle in the "crumple" zone. I was told by toyota that it was part of limited service campaign d0d for 2004-2006 tundras and that a sealant was applied in june 2014 and no other action will be taken. These vehicles clearly have structural integrity issues due to known frame rusting resulting from a manufacturing deficiency that are beyond the scope of the limited service campaign for the 2004-2006 model years just like the 2000-2003 tundra vehicles that were subject to full recall. The nhtsa should take action with the 2004-2006 toyota tundra vehicles to ensure toyota addresses the safety related structural integrity concerns with the frames of these vehicles as they have for the 2000-2003 and 2007-2008 model years.
Rocker panels under the doors rotted out very fast. The factory bed liner also caused premature rust holes to form in the box. Debris can now fall out of the box from these when in transit.
(toyota going places)on wednesdays february 5, 2014 about 5:30pm , i was driving my 2006 toyota tundra to work.as i was making a right-hand turn onto i-95 south, the front left-hand side of my truck collapsed.to my surprise the ball joints head separated from the suspension, the left bottom front suspension was dragging the highway and the left front wheel was now stuck under the running board.this accident also damaged the left front bumper, the left front fender and the left front door. Needless to say i was traumatized. I saw no warning that this accident was about to happen. I kept my truck in immaculate condition and had regularly maintenance done at this toyota dealership.we decided to do a search on the web to see if any recalls existed and there is a recall on the 2006 toyota tundra for this exact issue.however when i called toyota corporate and provided my vin number - low and behold my truck was not in that recall (my vin# missed it by 15 days).the toyota representative asked me to take my truck to the local toyota dealership and get a written estimate.at my own expense, i had the truck towed and after about two days my repair expenses were denied by toyota.however, i was offered $750 toward the purchase of a new toyota for being a loyal customer.i purchased three new vehicles from this toyota dealership (2006, 2007, & 2008).after fighting with the dealership and toyota corporate for a day and half, i was asked to move my truck out of their shop.so at my expense my 2006 tundra was towed back to my house (toyotagoing places).withoutexaggeration, a lot of people are going to get hurt if fatalities do not occur due to this defect.toyota need another recall. Toyota going places - if the ball joints don't fall outsincerely yours,06 toyota tundra owner
I received a recall on my trucks airbag control module took my truck to dealerthey said they would order the part and call me to make an appointmentfor installation i went back three times to dealer with no success also the recall they made on my truck last year the frame rusting out did not last every thing they did fell off the frame of my truck is this truck safe to drive
3 inch hole in frame near rear wheel, and cracked cross member. Vehicle only has 105000 miles on it and has never been in an accident. Just purchased used from dealership 6 months ago. Very disappointed in toyota. Frame has been under coated and this still has happened.
2006 toyota tundra purchased new from toyota dealership in central pa; one owner. Customer purchased dealer offered undercoating due to known climate conditions of central pa in order to prevent undercarriage corrosion.same dealership (under new ownership) carried out corrosion inspection campaign in 2015; dealer conclusion-apply additional corrosion-resistant compound to frame (did they actually apply anything?). Pa inspection at independent garage in 2019 failed for frame corrosion (but no perforations?). Vehicle taken to place of purchase to repeat inspection; dealership also failed vehicle for pa inspection due to frame corrosion; suggested sending it to additional toyota dealers for additional inspections and to call toyota corporate. (note-failed areas and other inspection areas are now completely devoid of corrosion protection due to removal by inspection mechanics). Called toyota corp., they can't/won't help. Supervisor to call back. So far, toyota will not rectify the issue. There are 100 year old ford model t's on the road with frames that are perfectly healthy in pa, but a piece of junk made in the usa (which has been less than useless for the last 40 years), foreign owned corp.,13 year toyota is scrap!!! obsolescence and second class citizenship consumer products should be illegal and meant only for the billionaire class to experience! failure at 106,000 miles.

The dealer was not made aware of the failure. An independent mechanic stated that the frame needed to be repaired due to holes and corrosion. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
In 2014 received a recall notice on my frame i took it to a local dealership classic toyota of mentor ohio they said frame needed replaced scheduled them to do all work they said it may be a few months before the frames in so i said okay and waiteda few months hadn't heard from them call them ask them if it came in they said no i asked them if there was anyway to check on it they said no but the wait is normal and they would call me when it gets there so i waited a couple more months called them again and the same thing so i waited a couple more months call them again and again same thing so in february 2016 i called them up got the same response by this time it had been over a year so i called toyota headquarters in california and ask them what was going on they called the dealership and it turned out the dealership never ordered the frame i have been going back and forth between the two and they are both refusing to do anything even though now there is a large rust hole through the frame and components are rusting out
Toyota frame rust: i was informed by my local mechanic today that my 2006 toyota tundra will not pass virginia's yearly safety inspection because of hole in the frame as a result of corrosion. My truck participated in toyota's limited service campaign d0d in 2014 and a rust resistant coating was applied to combat a known corrosion issue with their truck frames. I was told the frame was inspected, found to be clean, and the coating applied. I contacted toyota and was told "there is nothing we can do for you". I have found existing lawsuits addressing this exact issue on other toyota models including 2007 and 2008 tundras. The settlement in these cases involve complete frame replacement. It is obvious to me that toyota knows there is something wrong, but choosing to do nothing.
Purchased the truck used and was recently inspected by toyota which found corrosion and rust holes in both cross members holding the gas tank and spare tire. The truck is unsafe and i was told to remove the spare tire. Recalls are for the 2000-2003 tundra leaving the 2004-2006 owners out of luck. I can't understand how these model years were left out given it's the same frame and all the other complaints. Please help these owners.
My 2006 toyota tundra was just serviced at reputable mechanic and alerted me to the rust hole through the passenger side leaf spring bracket. Additionally, the frame is separating from the truck due to the severity of the rust. The frame is defoliating in sheets of rust, very similar to the consistency of shale. Contacted corporate toyota immediately. Case was pushed to a senior manager and finally received a return call 13 days later. They stated there was nothing that could warrant a frame replacement based on the age of my vehicle, the mileage (248,000) miles, and no current recalls.i find this totally unacceptable. Toyota is a company i thought was based on 'performance, reliability, and safety', but i guess it's not. I received the campaign to battle the rusty frames back in 2014 and was proactive and completed that at the dealer. The dealer performed the undercoating which did absolutely nothing but cover the rust and increase the breakdown of the frame. Since then, i had driven my truck to and from work and relied on it to safely transport my family everywhere, but not any longer. I find this to be comically irresponsible for toyota to turn a blind eye. There are so many other 2006 tundras that are having the same exact issues, however the class action lawsuit only lists 2007-2008 tundras that could warrant frame replacement. However, a coworker just took his 2005 tundra in for the airbag recall, and they discovered the frame needed to be replaced.it has over 200,000 miles similar to mine and is getting a new frame??? corporate toyota wouldn't comment on that.i'm at a loss and don't understand how toyota expects anyone to just walk away and do nothing.class action lawsuit will occur again for the 2006 tundras. It doesn't matter if there is no warranty, or campaign, or recall.the toyota name is on the tundra and that is what makes them liable. Join me!
Frame rust - i am experiencing major frame rust on my vehicle. It effects 90% of the frame, the brake lines, control arms and even the alignment components. Most recently my alignment components seized up with rust and now the vehicle can not be properly aligned with out replacement of those components. This has cause abnormal tire wear. Toyota has recalled 2000-2003 tundra frames. Also toyota has now have been sued for the 2005-2007 sequoia frames & and 2007-2008 tundras. My vehicle needs a recall as well!!! this is a very serious safety issue!!
The entirety of the vehicle frame is rusted.cross-members supporting the bumper and spare tire are rotted and/or falling away from the main frame.i purchased the vehicle used with undercoating applied, but the frame rust was already too extensive underneath and caused significant corrosion.
Feb 2019 - toyota tundra at 92k miles was inspected by nj toyota dealership after owner complained of steering issues and concerns on the condition of the frame. Toyota technician inspected frame and noted "unsafe to drive" due to rust, perforations, corrosion in frame and steering rack no longer attached to frame...."vehicle is unsafe to drive"may 2018 - same tundra w 78k miles passed virginia safety inspection from private stationapril 2018- same tundra w 78k miles was inspected by md toyota dealership service department..."frame rusted out in numerous spots. Truck not safe to drive"april 2018 - same tundra w 78k miles is given a result of "pass" by private md inspection station (no mention of frame condition) march 2018 - same tundra w 77k miles was inspected by a private md inspection station and truck failed..."struts/shocks completely rusted, rack and pinion mounting rusted out, dangerous, brake hose rusted connection, frame compromised by rust...and frame of truck fails"
I purchased truck used june 2016..somebody informed me later that there had been a rust issue with the frames on these models. Upon visual inspection it looks like at some point somebody tried to cover up with under spray. That has not held because a good portion of frame and cross member has rusted away. I called toyota and they gave me two case numbers and said it was out of warranty and recall expired. I asked dealership to inspect for rust in january of 2017 and they said it was toyota issue and to wait. I think it could be potential safety issue if trying to pull trailer and possible any other time..safety issues should not have expiration in my opinion. Not good feedback since january.
I brought the above vehicle to superior toyota of erie, pa this morning for the recall for excessive frame rust, same refused to give me a loaner car without me giving them a credit card, i informed the clerk that i am not renting a car from you - you are providing me a loaner for my trouble with your vehicle. I then left the dealership.
I recently purchased a 2006 toyota tundra from a toyota dealership in feb 2015.while doing some routine maintenance in may 2015 to the vehicle i noticed some frame rust.when i took a closer look i noticed that some areas of the frame rails where pieces were connected appeared to be starting to separate due to rusting.i contacted a local toyota dealership and took it in on june 20, 2015 for them to have a look.after one of the techs on site looked at the truck frame he told his manager that if this truck came into their shop they would have replaced the frame as part of a recall.the manager took some pictures and said that he would get back to me.after not hearing back for a couple weeks i called the dealership and the manager told me that since the frame was previously coated with a protective coating as part of a toyota recall for rusting frames that there was not much more they could do.i then opened a case with toyota customer care due to my concern of safety and questions about the decision that was made to take no further action on this vehicle even though the recall was still and active campaign.toyota basically gave me the same response as the dealership.i asked if they could at least review the truck to make sure it was safe for driving and they told me that the truck was recalled and the frame was coated with a protective coating and that was basically the end of what they could offer.my concern is that the frame is obviously still rusting so whatever fix they performed did not work.whether it was done improperly or perhaps not the correct decision based on the condition of the frame toyota should have at least gave this case a second evaluation considering that the campaign was still active when i had it at the dealership.i have serious concerns about the safety of driving this truck considering that the frame continues to rust.

The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. In 2014, the contact received a notice in the mail from dch wappingers falls toyota(1349 u.s. 9, wappingers falls, ny 12590 (845) 206-0521) regarding a potential issue with the mainframe of the vehicle. Upon inspection, the dealer found holes in the frame; however, there were no marble size holes that would qualify for a frame replacement. The dealer decided to place a crc treatment (black coding) over the holes in an effort to prevent more damage to the frame. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who pointed out that there was a large crack on the vehicle's mainframe. The contact called the same dealer and was informed that the original campaign that was launched no longer existed. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
My frame is rusting badly and there is metal separating where the leaf springs mount to the frame
It started with my gas tank falling off the frame.my wife was driving the truck at the time the gas tank band broke that holds the gas tank to the frame. I then found a hole in the frame on the driver's side, just in front of the sway bar mount, large enough to place my hand in to the center of my palm.obviously, this vehicle is not safe to drive.i then contacted my dealer that i purchased the vehicle from, down east toyota of brewer, me.the lady i spoke with (lynn), from down east toyota of brewer, maine, was condescending and arrogant eluding that the problem was somehow my fault. I learned from her that apparently there was a recall for rusted frames.i do not recall getting this recall information.but let that go, my dealer that i bought the truck from (down east toyota in brewer, maine) has told me that i should feel fortunate that i got 10 years from the truck.since this is as long as they are supposed to last anyways.my dealer (down east toyota of brewer, maine) told me my option was that they have a person that buys used vehicles and i could make an appointment with them to see what the junk buyer would give me for my truck.or, i could pay to have the frame replaced.given the severity of this kind of issue, and the safety issues raised with a damaged frame, i would have expected to receive notification through registered mail of the issue.or at least, a follow up letter to insure the first notice was received.as i said, i do not remember getting such notification.i have written to toyota and have heard nothing back as of yet.

My 2006 toyota tundra double cab has significant rust, which has resulted in a crack along the frame rail approximately 6 inches long near the passenger side front wheel. The frame has numerous other holes opening up and significant flakes of steel falling of the frame in this same area. I have meticulously cared for this vehicle and have been sure to keep the car and frame clean, particularly during the harsh winter months. Nonetheless the frame has rusted to the point where the sway bar mount on the passenger side has almost rusted through. While toyota initiated a "limited service campaign" this is not a full recall. I learned of this significant damage 26 days after the conclusion of the campaign on july 31, 2015. As this is not a recall, customers such as myself have no recourse. I contacted toyota and was rudely informed that there are no exceptions and that my vehicle cannot be covered under the campaign as it has expired. This leaves me with significant damage as a result of toyota's engineering error. Not only does this significantly reduce the value of my vehicle, but clearly poses a safety hazard as critical components of the front suspension are weakened. Furthermore, an accident could result in serious damage and injury as a result of the weakened structure. The fact that this has not been not been classified as a recall is appalling. Toyota is unwilling to stand behind their vehicles and has left me to fend for myself for their error. I strongly urge the nhtsa to reconsider their closed case on this frame issue and demand a recall. The measures toyota has taken through this campaign are not sufficient. There are countless other owners whose frames only received the crc coating and have continued to rust. This was clearly a stopgap measure. Toyota should be held accountable for the safety hazard and economic impact of their design flaw.

A few years back had taken the truck in for the frame recall.underside of the truck was quite rusty and was hoping for a new frame to be put on.instead, was informed by the dealership that that was not going to happen for my truck.instead, the frame was to be "undercoated" to protect the truck from further rust.the dealership also informed me that the current procedure from toyota, at that time, was to only undercoat the cab of the truck and not the entire frame.dealership stated that they would be undercoating entire frame which they did do.after getting truck back from dealership looked underneath and saw that entire frame was sprayed with some form of black material.now this undercoating is peeling off and the frame is rusting again.

Just had truck inspection done by my mechanic and he told me there is a problem starting with the frame. He said contact toyota that there was a frame recall. So i did they told me there was nothing they could do. Asked to speak to someone in charge and got a call back. Was told my truck was sprayed with the anti corrosion spray in 2014. But apparently it didn't work. Why did toyota skip certain years of the tundra? toyota did a recall on the same year sequoia as my tundra. They have the same frame. I don't understand and i can't be the only one with this problem something has to be done
The frame of truck is rusted very bad. The frame part where the tire spare is being held in place is rusted to the point that when you touch it, it crumbles into pieces of rusted metal. One side of the frame that holds the spare tire is almost completely gone. I feel like if i hit big bump the spare wheel would fall out and hit someone. My toyota tundra is a 2006, i know there was a recall for earlier model of my tundra for the same rusted frame problem. But for some reason the 2006 was never recall even though i seen a lot of people having the same safety issue.

I've owned the truck for a year bought on dec 2019 3rd owner. I see that mines not listed as recalled for frame rust but i'm not sure why when the gas tank looks like it going to fall off and seems only critical sections are severely rusted like the gas tank and where the rear shock absorber sits. I could only see these spots now because they are hard to spot places where the frame joins.
While changing a fuel tank strap that broke due to rust, i noticed the cross member at the front of the fuel tank is rotted right through where it meets the main frame.truck has been undercoated.i talked to toyota and they told me they are not fixing it at this time as there is no recall.how ever the 2005 and 2006 sequoia are part of this recall as well as the 2007 to 2009 tundra.

The frame on the truck is starting to show holes and i am wondering about the stability of the frame lasting i am in new york state and this is the issue with the climate
The 2006 toyota tundra had a recall on the frame because the frames were compromised due to excessive rust. I took my vehicle in to orleans toyota and had the frame inspected. They said the frame was not rusted that bad and it could be treated, which was part of the class action law suit compromise. Now my frame has rusted through and the vehicle is not safe to drive.how did the dealership properly inspect a enclosed box frame? how do you treat a frame made out of inferior metal and correct the issue? the treatment did not correct the issue. My vehicle has become a safety issue even after the recall. I live in new england and know this is a very common problem with the toyota tundras at this time.i took my vehicle back in to orleans toyota and had them inspect the frame. They took a picture of where the frame has rusted through and sent it to toyota. Toyota has not responded in the last couple months. Many of the vehicles that had the frames treated are,or are becoming unsafe to drive.
I was leaving a parking lot when the right front ball joint failed. The wheel fell off, the suspension dropped down. I put the vehicle in park, turned off the engine and called for a tow truck.

Truck had front gas tank strap rust out. Went to dealer for repair. Was told repair couldn'tbe completed because frame had rusted out in that area. 2014 toyota had a rust campaign and dealer applied corrosion rust coating. Frame still rusted! was informed by dealer unsafe to drive. Recalls on all other years except 2006. Truck sits in driveway basically is a pile of scrap.called toyota corporatereceived case #.case manager told me sorry cannot help the rust coating was a one time fix. So now am stuck with a truck unsafe to drive. !!!!thanks toyota!!!!
Had truck towed due to broken brake line and was advised by mechanic that frame was severely corroded with holes above front wheels and was not safe to drive.rear end also severely corroded.contacted toyota dealer, no warranty or recall on 2006 frames although tundras and tacomas older and newer than 2006 are getting warrantied frame replacements due to recalls.dealer went to the garage that had towed the truck and inspected the frame.dealer advised us to get holes in frame fixed at our expense.dealer verified that there was an earlier recall to spray frames, but the spray had limited availability from toyota and they were unable to fulfill the recall when we brought the truck to them for this service.the vehicle currently has 150,000 miles on it and should have been drivable for many more.we lodged a complaint with toyota usa on 11/14/2018, complaint# 181 114 1536 and are next entering a complaint with the nh attorney general.
The frame is rusting. I called and was told the notice i received was for air bag issues according to the dealer. So i called corporate and was told the notice on my rust issues expired july of 2015. What i don't understand is why i received the notice for the airbag but not the rust issue? and now that i know about it and want to get it resolved they wont do anything? i have had to replace a ball joint because of this issue and i am surprised there is not a recall. The frames will eventually rust apart til the snap. Are we waiting for a certain amount of people to die before holding them accountable? this isn't some small issue, this can be life threatening. I maintain my vehicle very well. It gets all the routine things done and only a mechanic touches it, it is never worked on at home in the garage. I love my toyota and i am very shocked they haven't gone further to correct their wrong. They made the mistake and didn't protect it not me. I do everything i am supposed to do to keep my vehicle in tip top condition so i am not left stranded on the side of the road.
Visible crack in frame on the "c" where it meets the front axle
The vehicle frame is showing major signs of rust. This apparently is a very common issue. When i contacted toyota regarding this matter i was told that they issued a temporary service for this but i was never notified. This is a huge issue since whenever conponents need replacing the bolts must be cut off due to rusting. This is a safety issue as well since certain areas are thinning on the frame.
Frame rot on my 2006 toyota tundra
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that there was significant rust accumulation on the frame of the vehicle. An independent mechanic discovered the rust upon inspecting the vehicle and warned the contact that it could lead to a potential safety defect. The contact spokewith waite toyota (18406 us-11, watertown, ny 13601) and the manufacturer and was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 10 mph and approaching a stop sign, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed. The contact coasted the vehicle to a field until it finally stopped. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. When the vehicle was placed on the lift, the mechanic noticed that the frame was severely rusted, including all the other components beneath. The vehicle was taken to kinderhook toyota (1908 ny 9h, hudson, ny 12534) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle had severe rust failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 143,766. The vin was unknown.
Rusting of frame impacts structural integrity of vehicle. 2004-2006 model years were subject to a voluntary limited service campaign on the heels of a recall to the 2000-2003 model years. The limited service campaign is ineffective at mitigating the safety concern over the structural integrity of the vehicle. 2007-2008 are subject to recall as well. Nhtsa should address this matter to ensure toyota resolves the serious safety issues associated with a rusting frame.
Anti rust coating was applied in 2016 as part of a recall- coating was not properly applied and moisture got underneath. Now, 2020, most of the coating has peeled off, revealing a 3 inch hole in my frame and a comepletley broken cross member near the gas tank. This is unacceptable to me that royota would cover up this problem like this and not replace all frames. This is not safe. My truck runs amazing, and only has 105000 miles on it. I expect something to be done!
State inspection revealed rust perforation of frame, near front suspension components
While driving on highway, felt a and heard a bump (no bumps in road) and lost most steering capabilities. After pulling to side of road. I noticed tires were pointed in different directions. After looking under the vehicle, i could see large rust holes in the frame and the rack was no longer connected to the frame. Toyota inspected the frame under recall in 2015 and said there were no problems and painted only the rear portion of the frame with an anti corrosion paint which has now also rusted away. I believe the frame should have been replaced under the original recall instead of covering with paint that did not do the job.
Tamara recall - i was exiting the freeway, making a left hand turn onto the city street, i was traveling approximately 25 miles per hour. As i entered the intersection, on a green light, a 1996 gmc yukon ran a red light, travelling approximately 40 miles an hour and hit me on my front end, damaging the bumper, fender, door, hood and bed on the drivers side. I was wearing my seatbelt but the impact was hard enough to propell me upwards, causing my left shoulder to hit the frame above the window which caused a grade 3 separation of my left collarbone.

In 2014 toyota had a recall on the frame rusting issue. I had toyota of hanover pa review the truck frame and they said it didn't meet the requirement for a frame replacement and they applied under coating. Now in 2021 the frame is starting to show signs of rust along the main frame beside the fuel tank when i had the vehicle in for inspection. I was a little confused sense it was undercoated but then reading more about the undercoating it may have made it worse by holding the moisture in and making it rust. I contacted toyota to see if they would replace and or help me with the cost in replacing the frame since the truck is in excellent shape with 114k. And there response was no the recall has expired and we can not do nothing. I priced a frame replacement and its over 11k. Also, reading a lot of other toyota tundra complaints about the undercoating and not installing a new frame around the same time period and everyone feeling the coating was going to last as long as the truck. I would appreciate any help on your end with this issue.hanover, pa jesse free
A 1992 ford f-250 (2 door) towing a portable cement mixer, estimated weight @350-450 pounds, crossed the center line and struck a 2006 toyota tundra crew cab (4 door) head on.both vehicles estimated speed was 50 mph.all drivers and passenger were wearing seat belts, airbags did deploy. The f-250's driver sustained 1 detached rib plus cuts and bruises.in the toyota, the following injuries occurred:passenger: broken left ankle, 7 broken ribs, sternum and clavicle fractures, 7 inch leg laceration, 5 inch hand laceration, cuts & bruises.driver: broken right ankle, brain contusion/concussion (visible impact spot on windshield - see below), broken rib, cuts and bruises.toyota's occupants confirmed that the engine/transmission intruded about 2 feet into the passenger compartment, consistent with the ankle injuries.it also appears from photos that the windshield was pushed back into the driver, although the belt and airbag could have not provided adequate protection also.frontal photos of the toyota show, apparently, that the bodywork detached from the frame - the front of the frame is clearly visible & does not look seriously damaged, with the bodywork (including the bumper) pushed back substantially.it seems to me there are several possible defect/design issues here:1.engine and transmission came straight back and did not deflect downwards, causing the lower extremity injuries. 2. Multiple rib injuries despite occupants being belted suggests excessive airbag inflation pressure.3.body to frame attachment failure, exacerbating intrusion of engine and frontal collapse/compression.the accident was investigated by the california highway patrol (report available) and occurred on state route 178 on may 27, 2015, about 25 miles east of bakersfield, california.
Anti corrosion paint was put on the frame a year and half later and my truck will not pass inspection and toyota will do nothingthey want me to believe that the frame rusted out in a year and a half and was fine when they put the coating on
I have a rotting frame even after the crc treatment was applied from toyota. This was supposed to prevent the frame rust issue but it only locks in the moisture and causes more damage. Toyota will not honor the frame replacement due to this crc application even though it does not fix the problem. I'm sure there are many toyota tundras, tacomas, and sequoias driving around with frames falling apart. This is a safety concern not only for the driver but also for other motorists.
Frame is rusting away in different areas.cannot attach a tow hitch since the rust is making the whole tail end brittle.don't know when the entire frame will be unsafe to drive.i bought this car recently but it was used up until 2016 in north states where there is a lot of snow and ice.
While driving in the city my power steering went out and made driving difficult.upon taking my 2006 tundra to the nearest dealer to get it fixed they informed me the frame had a hole in it and that the vehicle was not serviceable.it appears multiple recalls for multiple models were issued but not 2005 and 2006.this is something that toyota should look at and extend the recall to these vehicles.
Was taken to repair shop for check engine light. I was told that the rust was so bad on the frame that i could not safely drive it. Was informed by repair shop that they have had over 20 vehicles years 05-06 within the last year with frames falling apart like mine?? why hasn't anyone noticed this or done something? the vehicle has been garaged kept, all recalls performed, all maintenance remained up to date, only 109,000 miles and frame falling apart!! was taken to toyota dealer in august and was made to believe it was only small hole.passed inspection in january 20020. There is no way this was not present for years!!! but toyota never mentioned until august 2020, when they saw small hole in frame, but should have been removed from road!!! . So, why is toyota allowing these vehicles to continue to be driven ? why are they not mentioning frame issues? what are they hiding?? i see that toyota has had recalls for other vehicles except, by my understanding, 05-06 toyota tundras, for frame replacement! all the pictures i viewed online of other similar frame issues on these models matched mine exactly! so, there's a problem somewhere! please help!
Thecontact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact did not receive a notification of the limited service campaign letter advising of a frame inspection. The manufacturer was notified; however, the limited service campaign ended last year and there was no reimbursement for taking the vehicle to a dealer to have the frame inspected. The contact had not experienced a failure.
My 2006 tundra is like new in all respects but one; all toyota recommended routine and periodic maintenance performed by copeland toyota for 13 years; frame has failed due to corrosion.upon frame recall for corrosion in 2014, copeland indicated frame was "not that bad" and said they would just apply corrosion protection coating instead of replacing frame.i trusted and accepted their advice. Since then, toyota forums indicate spray on coating exacerbates corrosion problem. Copeland replaced power steering unit last year; when i looked under truck to see new unit, was shocked at condition of frame.next routine service appointment i asked copeland for their opinion on frame corrosion and they told me frame has failed.poor condition of frame was obvious; stabilizer bar had pulled out of frame.how much more work would they have performed and charged me for if i had not brought subject up?? this is a safety issue! copeland sent me to toyota .com for help; toyota.com offered no assistance and pointed finger at copeland for their decision not to replace.
This vehicle had the frame recall done by a local dealer - toyota of nashua in nashua, nh - and the dealer performed the undercoating remedy poorly, and not per the guidelines of the recall. Within a year the undercoating started flaking off, and i now have a 2-3" hole in the frame, caused by rust. Recall undercoating was done in 2014. Dealer is telling me there's nothing they can do, toyota is telling me the same thing. They're letting me dealwith my own rusted frame that they should be responsible for.
Approximately 4 years ago, i could not open the tailgate of my toyota tundra.i took it to the dealership and they replaced the clip.two months ago, i had the same problem.i took it to the dealership and they said it would cost $179 to fix it.i asked what was wrong, and was told that it was a plastic clip that keeps breaking.i told them that the truck had been in the garage for the past 2 years because my husband was out of the country.they said that it was just the plastic breaking.i said that it seems to be a design flaw.they didn't agree.so i am now having to pay for it.this clip is only warranteed for 1 year.so that means i will be replacing it again in a year (another $179).that sounds like a design flaw to me.the company sent out a memo about this problem on 2007 models, but not 2006.what can i do?

This filing is in reference to my 2006 toyota tundra sr5 v8 4.7 ltr 10,000 miles. For the past few weeks of driving the above referenced vehicle i started to notice a knocking metal sound under the center console when accelerating and braking... I took no immediate action as i found it to be a very light sound. After a few more days of driving the knock became more noticeable i was more alarmed, when i got home i got under my truck with a flashlight and started to take a look around, after careful inspection i found that 3 of 4 12mm hex bolts on the automatic transmission mount/ crossmember were missing further more the case was that the rear transmission mount located near the driveshaft were loose enough that could be moved with minimal strength with my hand i was able to recover 1 bolt that fell into the crossmember along with a plastic retainer. I quickly tightened the loose bolts and realigned the mount took the truck out for a quick test drive and the sound stopped totally,the next morning i contacted my local toyota dealer and purchased 2 new hex bolts that came out to $ 3.40. After this u can say that all is now well, i believe this should be looked into as there maybe other similar units out there with the same issue, this could cause major damage to the vehicle and also possible inflict an accident.

My 2006 toyota tundra is experiencing extreme corrosion of the rear axle assembly and skid pans.i've had a mechanic inspect the damage and he concurred that the rust is far worse than would be expected for a vehicle of this age.the metal is pitted and flakes of rust are falling off of the rear axle housing.i contacted a local toyota dealership to have it inspected but they would not even look at the vehicle because it is no longer under warranty.failure of the rear axle housing poses a considerable safety risk.i purchased the vehicle with 40,000 miles on it and i live in an area where salts are used liberally during the winter.i've gone to great lengths to wash salts off my truck as soon as possible, yet the rust continues.
Toyota recalled for frame rust.vehicle taken apart and frame replaced.vibration presentbetween 30 and 70mph.vibration gets extreme when not under load (ie slowing down).has been back at dealer 6 times to try to identify/repair.

Contacted state attorney general who is trying to mediate a resolution.ag office recommended i file a complaint with nhtsa as well.

The frame and suspension components have an abundance of rust on them.flakes of metal are dropping/pealing off and the rust has spread to all parts of the frame and is prevalent around welds on the suspension parts.this concerns me due to the welds being the main component that bonds together the suspension pieces. The frame is showing an unusual amount of rust for such a young vehicle and poses a safety risk to me.
I recently had to have some body work done on my 2006 toyota tundra. The body shop owner said that he saw the frame was extremely rusty and in his opinion was a safety hazard. He said he remembered that toyota had a recall for rusty frames previously but he did not remember what years and models were included in the recall. He suggested i contact toyota. I did contact toyota and was told that my vehicle was included in the recall but that the recall had expired in july of 2015. I purchased this vehicle new in 2006 and have been the only owner of the truck. I was never notified of this recall and had no idea there was a problem with their trucks. After speaking on the phone with a toyota repnad being told they would not do anything for my truck i sent an email to their headquarters and they responded that they stood behind their original response. I do not understand how a safety recall can expire. The safety problem will always be there until fixed. I feel i am now driving a dangerous vehicle and feel that toyota should stand by whatever the original remedy was.

Toyota tundra frame is completely rusted through. Purchased vehicle in 2016 immediate after warranty expired and previous owner did not have the frame replaced. Rust damage on the frame was not bad. We had it undercoated for protection. Now there are rust holes and toyota will not take responsibility for the extreme amount of rust on the faulty frames. The 2006 sequoia frames were recalled due to excessive rust, but the tundras were not, even though they have the same frame. When we took it to the dealership they told us they are not responsible for it and then marked our vehicle as "undriveable" in their system without our permission. We now have a vehicle that is worth $0 that was worth $8,500. Toyota corporate also refused to do anything to repair the vehicle.
Front ball joint broke in half while turning into a parking lot
I had just pulled into a gas station and come to a stop when the front end of the truck dropped and landed on the tire. The lower ball joint snapped. Their was a recall on this problem...my question is did they really improve this part enough to make it road worthy...the parts are still breaking.

Looking at the complaints, this looks similar to odi id number : 10222095 date of failure: march 21, 2008. I was at a dead stop. I turned my steering to the left as possible. As i was rounding the turn slowly, the power steering was lost. I was unable to make the u-turn completely. I had to run off of the road. After driving straight to repair shop, the mechanic said the rack and pinion had to be replaced because the rods were bent to what looked like could have been service work related to the ball joint recall. I've only got 19800 miles on a 2006 tundra crew cab. No way this should occur with this few many miles. I'm just glad i wasn't at a high rate of speed and trying to round a curve. I don't drive it much and not used on a farm. It's been very well cared for so it shouldn't have caused that much strain on the rack.

Anti corrosion paint was put on the frame a year and half later and my truck will not pass inspection and toyota will do nothingthey want me to believe that the frame rusted out in a year and a half and was fine when they put the coating on
The front struts rusted and snapped, on both my 2002 tundra and my 2006 tundra, in the same place on all 4 struts, where the tube mounts to the bottom bolt flange. In both cases, there was not any excessive or off road driving, just normal highway and city driving. The last time, i was driving over a railroad crossing.
The vehicle had a recall on the frame a few years ago, i brought it into the dealer at the time , they inspected it and said the frame was fine, they cleaned it and performed an undercoating.i recently went to the toyota dealership for an alignment, the alignment would not hold and they broke a brake line.when the dealer went to price out the brake line they discovered the frame was all rotted out and would not repair the line.i was told it was too dangerous to put on a liftdo to the frame rot.they also told me the recall on the frame had expired and there was nothing they could do about it.the dealer provided the 800 number for toyota, i called them and received the same info, the time period for the frame recall expired.i did what i was supposed to do in the time frame, i brought the truck in and told the frame was fine.all the undercoating they did only masked the issue .the frame is now all rotted only a few years later and toyota will not stand behind their product and fix it. How does a frame go from being inspected by a dealer and told it isfine to a point where the dealer will not put it on a lift because of the rot in just a few years? the dealer provided the pictures of the rot.
I have experienced an issue with the steering of my vehicle for the past several months.steering requires an increased effort on my part. Also, there is a noise coming from the front suspension when i am driving.

I went to the dealer to make a complaint also called toyota. Both would not resolve the problem. The dealer stated the frame failed but told me to call toyota, witch i did. Toyota told me the time had run out on that recall. My mechanic told me that the repair was not done correctly and should have had a frame replacment.
Driving my 2006 toyota tundra on april 25 2014, i made a left hand turn onto a freeway on ramp , catastrophic ball joint failure on the drivers side causing me to loose control of the vehicle and hit the embankment. My car is supposedly 10 days out of the recall notice for the front lower ball joint and the dealership is refusing to honor the recall. Took my vehicle to the local toyota dealership estimated $1400 repair bill. Had the ball joint failed while i was on the freeway this could have been a serious tragedy. From my research ball joint failure is a known issue on 2002-2006 tundras but for whatever reason my car is 10 days outside the recall notice. ..updated 06/27/14updated 10/21/2014
The upper ball joint failed 16 days after theannual inspection. My son drove over a speed bump in an apartment complex and the driver-side front wheel folded under the car. I contacted toyota and told them they should recall vehicles with this part because of the catastrophic nature of the failure.they dismissed it and claimed "...we do not show any recalls or other support programs applicable to the vehicle."just a few hours before this part failed, my son had been helping friends move.he had been driving down the freeway with three passengers in his truck and the bed of the truck full of furniture. People could have died.i googled ball joint failures on toyota vehicles and found the following link:https://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/01/toyota_ball_joints.html.this led me to your web site.we were never informed of this recall by toyota and have literally been driving a ticking time bomb.the cost of the repair was $2,113.71 - not including the body damage that occurred from dragging the truck onto the tow truck platform.
Passenger side front ball joint failed when driving on interstate. Oil change and service was last done 2/24/21 mileage was 192943. I also sent all the information to toyota.
(toyota going places)on wednesdays february 5, 2014 about 5:30pm , i was driving my 2006 toyota tundra to work.as i was making a right-hand turn onto i-95 south, the front left-hand side of my truck collapsed.to my surprise the ball joints head separated from the suspension, the left bottom front suspension was dragging the highway and the left front wheel was now stuck under the running board.this accident also damaged the left front bumper, the left front fender and the left front door. Needless to say i was traumatized. I saw no warning that this accident was about to happen. I kept my truck in immaculate condition and had regularly maintenance done at this toyota dealership.we decided to do a search on the web to see if any recalls existed and there is a recall on the 2006 toyota tundra for this exact issue.however when i called toyota corporate and provided my vin number - low and behold my truck was not in that recall (my vin# missed it by 15 days).the toyota representative asked me to take my truck to the local toyota dealership and get a written estimate.at my own expense, i had the truck towed and after about two days my repair expenses were denied by toyota.however, i was offered $750 toward the purchase of a new toyota for being a loyal customer.i purchased three new vehicles from this toyota dealership (2006, 2007, & 2008).after fighting with the dealership and toyota corporate for a day and half, i was asked to move my truck out of their shop.so at my expense my 2006 tundra was towed back to my house (toyotagoing places).withoutexaggeration, a lot of people are going to get hurt if fatalities do not occur due to this defect.toyota need another recall.

Driving home at the end of our vacation, my wife and i were in seperate vehicles, she in front of me on i-80 going west bound.we'd just gotten off the george washington bridge and as traffic was building and slowing, she braked ahead of me and when i pressed my brake it went to the floor.i couldn't stop in time before rear ending the car my wife was driving.it was a low speed impact, maybe 25 mph.no police report and we just kept driving after checking that all was ok.i took the truck to the shop to have the brakes repaired and the mechanic called me to say the brake lines and everything associated needed to be replaced.he stated he cannot do the work due to the fact the truck is rusted beyond repair and he felt unsafe to work underneath the truck for fear of it falling on him.i found there was a recall on the truck for rusted frame issues and the window to respond was missed due to personal reasons involving care of a since deceased mother.i tried to talk to toyota but the short answer is i was too late even though therusted frame is only worsening with time due to from what i understand is a manufacturing flaw with the method these trucks were produced.
Takata recallmy toyota tundra is a 2006 limited fully loaded beautiful truck.... Until you look under neath it! the frame has rust holes, the struts rusted off the frame, the break lines are rusted out, my break drums are rusted out, leaf spring are rusted out, the exhaust system rusted off and the best part about all of this is that the truck was taken to toyota for the recall and sprayed instead of replaced! the dealer took sponges and put them into the frame and painted over the frame!! a toyota dealer!!!! and now that the frame is falling apart toyota is saying it's not their problem the recall is over. Even thought the frame wasn't replaced when it was needing to be replaced! my household owns 7 toyota a and lexus vehicles, you can bet your money we will never buy a toyota or lexus again. Thanks toyota for neglecting your responsibilities!
In 2014 toyota had a recall on the frame rusting issue. I had toyota of hanover pa review the truck frame and they said it didn't meet the requirement for a frame replacement and they applied under coating. Now in 2021 the frame is starting to show signs of rust along the main frame beside the fuel tank when i had the vehicle in for inspection. I was a little confused sense it was undercoated but then reading more about the undercoating it may have made it worse by holding the moisture in and making it rust. I contacted toyota to see if they would replace and or help me with the cost in replacing the frame since the truck is in excellent shape with 114k. And there response was no the recall has expired and we can not do nothing. I priced a frame replacement and its over 11k. Also, reading a lot of other toyota tundra complaints about the undercoating and not installing a new frame around the same time period and everyone feeling the coating was going to last as long as the truck. I would appreciate any help on your end with this issue.hanover, pa jesse free
I purchased this vehicle from another man. The truck would steer off when it would hit a small bump or hole in the road. I took it to goodyear to see if it was something to do with the alignment and found out the whole front end suspension and everything attached to it needed to be changed. This happens when the truck is motion and have had to change and rotate the tires more than once within this year. There is wear on the front tires on the outside. I will have to change them again when we fix the alignment.this also happens on any street and is pretty scary when driving on the highway.the tires sound like i'm peeling out or the tire is flat as i'm driving down the road. I can't make sharp turns because the tires start skipping. I have not made any repairs to it because i can't afford to pay the bill at this time. Only thing i've fixed is the tires. The lights on the dash show that the tires are low on air. The cost quoted to me would be close to $2000. I also heard from many people that the year i have with the tundra have had the samecomplaints as i have.it's a 2006 toyota tundra and is my first truck purchase for myself..my first vehicle was a 1983 toyota camry and i loved it!! i've never had any kind of issue with a toyota in the past and would like to continue to think anything but positive things!toyota's are definitely built to last and would love to pass it down to my son but unfortunately we have to postpone considering it's not safe for him to be driving. This is his last year in high school so hopefully we can get it back to him before the year is up.
After driving 10 miles to town at speeds of 60mph dropped truck off at mechanics shop because was steering hard. Mechanic got into truck to drive it into shop, lower ball joint snapped off when he put it into reverse the front end dropped, could not steer at all, had to put truck in shop with wrecker. The night before this i was doing 70 mph in rush hour traffic. Was there a crash? no, but there sure could have been. There was a recall for 2006 tundra lower ball joints, toyota says my truck is not in recall, should have been.
First complaint was in motion came to a signal light started applying brakes to stop came to stop briefly as i was pushing brake pedal could feel grinding like under pedal and truck began to move forward while holding brake then continued to pump brake several times to try and stop it because it was moving me and my children into moving traffic intersection..this issue has happened on a few occastions second complaint. Driver front lower balljoint grinding, popping scrubbing sound when wheel is turned any little bit while driving orstopped and popping metal sound even when anyone gets in or out of the vehicle.also since i purchased the truck in 2013 the u-joint has been replaced 3 times due to shaking taken off and slowing down when taken part off metal shavens would pour out from the part in small pile.
My 2006 toyota tundra was just serviced at reputable mechanic and alerted me to the rust hole through the passenger side leaf spring bracket. Additionally, the frame is separating from the truck due to the severity of the rust. The frame is defoliating in sheets of rust, very similar to the consistency of shale. Contacted corporate toyota immediately. Case was pushed to a senior manager and finally received a return call 13 days later. They stated there was nothing that could warrant a frame replacement based on the age of my vehicle, the mileage (248,000) miles, and no current recalls.i find this totally unacceptable. Toyota is a company i thought was based on 'performance, reliability, and safety', but i guess it's not. I received the campaign to battle the rusty frames back in 2014 and was proactive and completed that at the dealer. The dealer performed the undercoating which did absolutely nothing but cover the rust and increase the breakdown of the frame. Since then, i had driven my truck to and from work and relied on it to safely transport my family everywhere, but not any longer. I find this to be comically irresponsible for toyota to turn a blind eye. There are so many other 2006 tundras that are having the same exact issues, however the class action lawsuit only lists 2007-2008 tundras that could warrant frame replacement. However, a coworker just took his 2005 tundra in for the airbag recall, and they discovered the frame needed to be replaced.it has over 200,000 miles similar to mine and is getting a new frame??? corporate toyota wouldn't comment on that.i'm at a loss and don't understand how toyota expects anyone to just walk away and do nothing.class action lawsuit will occur again for the 2006 tundras. It doesn't matter if there is no warranty, or campaign, or recall.the toyota name is on the tundra and that is what makes them liable. Join me!
Takata recall rusty rear axel springs, i got recall notice from manufacture about this rusted springs ,not sure what year that was.i took my truck to dealer but it did not repair at that time. So now the springs rusted more visible. This truck is still drivable.
While driving on highway, felt a and heard a bump (no bumps in road) and lost most steering capabilities. After pulling to side of road. I noticed tires were pointed in different directions. After looking under the vehicle, i could see large rust holes in the frame and the rack was no longer connected to the frame. Toyota inspected the frame under recall in 2015 and said there were no problems and painted only the rear portion of the frame with an anti corrosion paint which has now also rusted away. I believe the frame should have been replaced under the original recall instead of covering with paint that did not do the job.
The chassis is rusted and the tires started leaning out because they are no longer supported fully.the vehicle is unsafe to drive now because of tire issues, and control.insurance and or police will not look at because no accident occurred yet.i just notified toyota who said the recall on models such as this had ended in 2015.the used car dealer my son just purchased from 5 months ago has denied any knowledge of the problem.
I have a 2006 toyota tundra with no body rust but the frame is rotting out from underneath the truck.this is a serious safety hazard or could have even killed someone and toyota did not even notify me of the issue.when i did find out about this and contacted toyota they said this is not an issue and there is no problem.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 75 mph, the driver side front end collapsed to the ground and caused the front driver side tire to explode. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence, where a certified mechanic replaced the front lower ball joints and replaced the damaged tire. The failure recurred on a separate occasion and was repaired. In 2007, the vehicle was serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 07v013000 (suspension). The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The failure mileage was unavailable.
I have a 2006 toyota tundra that is in perfect condition mechanical and body no rust, recently found out about frame that has a hole in it on the right front it has been confirmed by dealership that it cannot be driven. In 2015 i took truck in for the recall for the frame obviously something was not done properly. After doing some research i'm finding out toyota has been having problems with frames from about 2000-2009. The main issue here is if we did not notice this problem and someone is driving the vehicle and frame breaks and someone gets hurt who is responsible
Rusted frame with hole has been deemed by portsmouth toyota as unsafe to drivethe vehicle was brought to meinke initially because it felt unsafe to drive
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. While the vehicle was undergoing routine maintenance, the independent mechanic discovered that the subframe near the front passenger side axle area was rusted with holes present. In 2015, the vehicle was inspected by kramer toyota in port charlotte, fl and no rust was found. In addition, the contact indicated that the front brake lines, control arm, steering rack, and ball joints were all replaced by an independent mechanic due to rust and corrosion. The failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The dealer was not contacted for the recent failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 157,000.
On january 10 2020 my 2006 toyotatundra broke down. I was driving home from work it was around 4:45pm when i heard a clunking noise coming from my drivers back tire, i pulled over and checked out underneath and my tires did not see anything got back in vehicle and backed it up to a side street it made the clunking noise. I called my husband he came out and checked the truck out too couldn'tdetermine the problem. So we had it towed to a toyotadealership ( we have towing service plus we bought a extended warranty) since it was pass 5 pm the dealership didn't look at the truck till the next day. When they gave me a call they told me that my sway bar broke and the clunking noise was my brake drum and pad it was so rusted it busted in pieces. He also said thats not the real concern & issue he told me that my whole frame was very rusted & corrosion he stated that my truck was very unsafe to drive. After work i went to the dealership and was in complete shock the frame was so bad some parts of it you could put yourfinger right through it. Later we did some research and read about toyotatundra recall on frames. We also went back to the dealership that sold the truck to us. They were no help. We are asking for help. I'm the main driver and i love this truck paid good money and still paying. I don't understand how this truck missed the recall in the pass. The truck is in excellent shape body and interior. It only had 91,000 when we bought it. Do we fall under the recall? please let us know what we need to do. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact was driving 5 mph when the front passenger tire detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the dealer confirmed that the lower ball joint needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 73,205 and the current mileage was 73,400.
The frame and suspension components have an abundance of rust on them.flakes of metal are dropping/pealing off and the rust has spread to all parts of the frame and is prevalent around welds on the suspension parts.this concerns me due to the welds being the main component that bonds together the suspension pieces. The frame is showing an unusual amount of rust for such a young vehicle and poses a safety risk to me.
Takata recall 2006 toyota tundra sr5 4x4. Purchased about a year ago. Power steering failed a couple months in while driving to work. Found fluid leaking i crawled underneath and founf the entire frme rusted and both anti roll bar links have separated from control arms. The bushings and nuts were missing and the powersteering link is from rotted boot on the pasenger side.
I noticed the low tire light was blinking, and checked all the tires for pressure, and they were fine, then i looked under the truck and saw that the bracket that holds the round bar that is part of the steering mechanism, had actually pulled completely out of the frame due to rust, this truck frame was supposedly treated in 2014, and obviously did little to take care of the problem, of frame rot. Toyota is replacing frames on the majority of tundra's and tacoma's, but not my specific year. It is quite obvious 2006 tundra's have the same problem.
Had the truck in for recall for under coating frame about one year i looked to find rust on the frame by the rear spring. Called toyota, then called dealer,was told some one would return my call. Have hear nothing from toyota or dealer. The frame is flaking do to improper cleaning.
Noticed that 1 of my rear leaf spring "leafs" had broken in half - totally. Called dealer told out of warranty. Truck was 4-5 yr.s old w/low milage. By shear luck i noticed it. Had i not noticed it i believe it could have caused a major problem possibly with gas tank or perhaps tire.
Autonation toyota would not install rear tow hitch due to severity of frame rust. Cautioning that any sort of impact would total the vehicle. After reading several reviews stating very similar rust problems i have started an online petition against toyota. Even if the frame is replaced the rust has affected many components of the vehicle. Being a safety issue. Severe bodily harm or death can occur.
Frame is rusting nearly on half, at front suspension.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 40 mph, an abnormal grinding sound emitted from the driver side of the vehicle.

Severely rusted frame and brake calbers. The brake lines broke and i was unable to brake the truck so i put in neutral and gradnually came to a stop ina parking lotwith the assistance of the emergency brake. Mechanic told me he has had this with other tundras. I checked with toyota for a recall but was informed there wasn't one .
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 15v285000 (air bags) in june of 2015 and 07v013000 (suspension) in january of 2007. After contacting the dealer and the manufacturer on multiple occasions, the contact was informed that the parts needed for the recall remedy were still not available and no estimated time for receiving the parts could be provided. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Stabilizer links rotted off, fixed. Front end failing, falling apart at78,000 miles.also truck frame rusting badly, received recall 3rd notice a year after they expired it. I never received 1st 2 notices, they don't comenot registered mail. We had mail issues with usps! the regular mailman was out for 2 years with cancer so we had substitute mailmen,we didn't always get our mail, get other peoples mail etc.. We would of called about the recall if we knew! i called toyota corporate, they didn't care, said i had 3 notices, i only received 1 notice and it was a year after it expired! i am 2nd owner.the front end in the truck is falling apart, horrible vibrating/bumping and banging when driving down the road, truck now has 92k, i googled and it came back lower ball joint problem recall, 2006 tundra. If it was serviced by previous owner and ball joint failed again wouldn't berecalled covered again? how do you find out if it was fixed the 1st time? i don't want to put more money into it if it is covered under a recall!i bought it with 58k, it was always garaged and only did vacationtrips/highway miles, previous owner worked from home. I go 7 miles/day. And highway vacation trips. Previous owner was elderly and has passed away. Any service records i don't have, but he maintained it well!recalls should come registered mail!we also have a seat belt problem, they don't always work. They jam, don't recoil, get stuck.
My 2006 toyota tundra double cab has significant rust, which has resulted in a crack along the frame rail approximately 6 inches long near the passenger side front wheel. The frame has numerous other holes opening up and significant flakes of steel falling of the frame in this same area. I have meticulously cared for this vehicle and have been sure to keep the car and frame clean, particularly during the harsh winter months. Nonetheless the frame has rusted to the point where the sway bar mount on the passenger side has almost rusted through. While toyota initiated a "limited service campaign" this is not a full recall. I learned of this significant damage 26 days after the conclusion of the campaign on july 31, 2015. As this is not a recall, customers such as myself have no recourse. I contacted toyota and was rudely informed that there are no exceptions and that my vehicle cannot be covered under the campaign as it has expired. This leaves me with significant damage as a result of toyota's engineering error. Not only does this significantly reduce the value of my vehicle, but clearly poses a safety hazard as critical components of the front suspension are weakened. Furthermore, an accident could result in serious damage and injury as a result of the weakened structure. The fact that this has not been not been classified as a recall is appalling. Toyota is unwilling to stand behind their vehicles and has left me to fend for myself for their error. I strongly urge the nhtsa to reconsider their closed case on this frame issue and demand a recall. The measures toyota has taken through this campaign are not sufficient. There are countless other owners whose frames only received the crc coating and have continued to rust. This was clearly a stopgap measure. Toyota should be held accountable for the safety hazard and economic impact of their design flaw.
I own a 2006 dbl cab tundra in wi. Back in 2013 i was driving one and and someone was honking at me from behind. So i pulled over. They told me my gas tank was about to fall off. Sure thing i went under it and the gas tank strap was rust and only 1 of them was holding it up. I didnt some research and notice there was a recall on the frame rust. So i took it in for a inspection. The dealer told my that it didnt qualify for a replacement but they they can do a undebody coat and they replaced the tank strap too. So 1 yrs flew by and now my passenger side rear lower strut bracket broke off. It was just hanging there. This truck is falling apart. A few monther later while driving down the road. I was going about 35 mph and ther boom! i heard something loud. I ther braking but no brakes! i almost good hit twice running a red light. Scraiest day of my life. I almost doe that day. I finally rolled to a stop. I check the back and sure enough the driver side top strut bracket broke off taking out the brake distributor in the rear and also cutiing through some eletrical wires. This truck is a lemon! toyota need to buy this truck back!
The vehicle's frame corrodaded so badly with holes everywhere. The suspenssions and tire mounts came off dangling away from the frame. The crossbars are so broken that the vehicle could buckle up in motion. The issues were discovered when the vehicle was taken to safety inspection station.
Was driving about 10 mph when truck suddenly listed heavily to the left, the control arm and lower ball joint had failed and the tire was on the ground, when toyota was contacted they stated that it was not included in that particular recall due to the vin number.it is at the dealership awaiting an inspection by our auto insurance company before being repaired at a rather large cost.they also tried blaming the people who have done our tires and also the company who does our oil changers etc.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. While driving at unknown speeds, the front driver side wheel detached without impact from the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to autonation toyota south austin (800-ih 35th s, austin, tx 78745, (512) 900-1045) where it was diagnosed that the driver side ball joints needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact was concerned about the ball joints on the passenger side. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 179,383.
2006 toyota tundra - ball joint failure causing ball joint to break and wheel to come off.this also damages the fender on which ever side the ball joint breaks.toyota added more bolts and pieces to the ball joint but it didn't make the joint stronger and could happen quiet frequently until the problem is resolved by toyota.it starts with the steering becoming hard to handle and then all of a sudden your wheel falls off.thankfully we were in a parking lot when this happened and not going very fast.
Toyota failed to inform us aboutrecall ssc 70b our2006 tundra. I read about the recall in a newspaper article.when i first called toyota in february 2007they promised to mail me a notice. It never arrived. Wetook the vehicle to a bridgestone tire dealer because of excessive wear onoutside edge of both front tires. The vehicle came new with bridgestone tires. The bridgestone tire dealer told us that both front tires should be immediately replaced because the outside edges were worn to the substrate. We were surprised because the vehicle has only 7,350 miles on it.the bridgestone tire dealer suggested that we take the vehicle to a toyota dealer and have them inspect the front-end alignment. The toyota dealer agreed to do so and informed us that he would be able to complete the recall work associated with ssc 70b and that as part of that procedure, the front-end alignment would be checked before and after the recall work. After the work was completed the alignment report clearly showed that the front wheels had the incorrect "toe" adjustment on both front wheels. We have retained copies of that report.the service consultant suggested that we contact the service manager to ascertain whether or not the dealership would provide some sort of discount on the cost to replace both tires. Today we contacted toyota directly as we believe one or bothof the following contributed to the premature destruction of both front tires.1. The vehicle left the toyota factory with the front-end out of alignment.2. Excessive wear of both front tires was caused by the improper "toe" adjustment which may have been an artifact of the recall work that required replacing the front suspension lower ball joints. Had toyota notified me in a timely manner, i would have had this recall work completed and possibly savedthe front tires from premature destruction. So far, toyota has refused to pay for the two new front tires.

Inflated the tires to ensure proper psi's prior to operation.tire warning light shuts on and off. Tire warning lights will remain on when vehicle is started, idling, and in operation.this is still an ongoing problem that has not been fully resolved.the tire sensors could be a contributing factor which is not being reported as well.went to the local dealership and was told that they will not fix unless the recall is under toyota's website and not the nhtsa. This is a potential safety issue that could result in an accident, injury, or death.
Air pressure in one tire constantly deflates. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that due to the porosity chrome of the wheels, air leaks out from the wheel causing the tire to deflate.
I bought a 2006 toyota tundra sr5 back in 2007. I have had my vehicle serviced every since i have bought it. My truck has always smelled like rotten eggs and i have had the injectors cleaned 4 times since i've owned it. The problem still exist. I have contacted toyota about this and they say there has been no recall...please look into this problem and also the tire pressure warning system light keeps malfunctioning.people spend too much money on these vehicles and last thing we all need is to fork out more money on a vehicle that is more less in a nut shell a lemon. Everytime i turn around it's something wrong with this type of vehicle. Thanks for your time and look forward to hearing about this problem.
Ltr from (tx) reporting problems withhis 2006 tundra motor vehicle. The cruise control has a problem down shifting 2 gears on minor grade for no reason, which caused the engine to rev to over 4000 rpms.the vehicle would not shift into overdrive while driving on the freeway. The brake will fade while sitting at a traffic light. The stopping distance on the vehicle was much longer than any other vehicle the consumer had driven.the vehicle was getting very poor gas mileage.there was an odor from the air condition. The tire sensor light illuminated, but it was resolved.
In june 2014 i took my tundra to have it evaluated, reference frame rust.toyota felt the best course of action was to apply some type of compound to the frame.*10/15/2015 bfin may 2015 i looked under my truck and noticed that the rust was coming back with a vengeance, especially where the rust was heaviest before.i find it difficult to believe that if the frame was dried, brush, and then the compound "rust proofing" was applied that the rust would be coming through/back in less then a year.i have contacted toyota and they do not seem interested in addressing the issue.i find it disheartening that the body, engine, and the rest of the truck will outlast the frame.rust does happen in the north.however, frames do not turn to dust before the fenders and the body.how is it the body is lasting longer and wearing better?those parts are going through the same elements as the frame!essentially, toyota tried to put makeup or a band-aid on the problem without addressing the problem.if you just paint or cover rust without treating the rust to begin with, the problem was never fixed.if you sand the rust down/out, then apply your paint or compound, you will extend the life of your metal.i have tried to bring this issue up with toyota and they don't want to hear it.they state the issue is closed and nothing else will be done. After some research it certainly appears that toyota's manufacturing process and standards for second generation tundra are no different then the first.if toyota can not or did not want to build a vehicle for cold environments that use salt, they should not sell them to the northern half of the united states.they certainly did not disclose that they did not treat or manufacture their frames to withstand the rigors of the colder environments.updated 10/23/2017

Frame has rust holes . Had to replace rearend housing due to rust holes.
I have a 2006 toyota tundra that is in perfect condition mechanical and body no rust, recently found out about frame that has a hole in it on the right front it has been confirmed by dealership that it cannot be driven. In 2015 i took truck in for the recall for the frame obviously something was not done properly. After doing some research i'm finding out toyota has been having problems with frames from about 2000-2009. The main issue here is if we did not notice this problem and someone is driving the vehicle and frame breaks and someone gets hurt who is responsible
Secondary air intake system has failed- upon researching some years of toyota tundraā€™s had previously recalls for this problem - found one forum where 120 people were complaining this happened to their vehicle also
My 2006 toyota tundra double cab has significant rust, which has resulted in a crack along the frame rail approximately 6 inches long near the passenger side front wheel. The frame has numerous other holes opening up and significant flakes of steel falling of the frame in this same area. I have meticulously cared for this vehicle and have been sure to keep the car and frame clean, particularly during the harsh winter months. Nonetheless the frame has rusted to the point where the sway bar mount on the passenger side has almost rusted through. While toyota initiated a "limited service campaign" this is not a full recall. I learned of this significant damage 26 days after the conclusion of the campaign on july 31, 2015. As this is not a recall, customers such as myself have no recourse. I contacted toyota and was rudely informed that there are no exceptions and that my vehicle cannot be covered under the campaign as it has expired. This leaves me with significant damage as a result of toyota's engineering error. Not only does this significantly reduce the value of my vehicle, but clearly poses a safety hazard as critical components of the front suspension are weakened. Furthermore, an accident could result in serious damage and injury as a result of the weakened structure. The fact that this has not been not been classified as a recall is appalling. Toyota is unwilling to stand behind their vehicles and has left me to fend for myself for their error. I strongly urge the nhtsa to reconsider their closed case on this frame issue and demand a recall. The measures toyota has taken through this campaign are not sufficient. There are countless other owners whose frames only received the crc coating and have continued to rust. This was clearly a stopgap measure. Toyota should be held accountable for the safety hazard and economic impact of their design flaw.
Rusted frame with hole has been deemed by portsmouth toyota as unsafe to drivethe vehicle was brought to meinke initially because it felt unsafe to drive

In 2015 took vehicle in for inspection because my mechanic saw scaly rust on frontpart of frame.was inspected undercoated and told frame was fine.3 years later there is a 6 inch rotted hole in same part of frame i compained about.was told by my toyota dealer and toyota corp. There is no warrenty
2006 tundra with ~150k miles has developed a broken frame. Break is in the right frame rail starting just behind the sway bar and extends roughly 10" back almost to the sway bar mount. This vehicle was serviced with a frame undercoating in a 'limited service campaign'in july 1015.*dt
2006 toyota tundra., low speed ,no cruise control on,weather drizzle.going up a hill acclerated suddenly . Spun out crossed a median into oncoming traffic hit a guardrail and another car.
Major rust in frame as noted by my auto service person.
The frame was sprayed a few years back for a rust recall. The spray did not help and after bringing my truck to the mechanic for maintenance, it was revealed that the rust has now caused holes in the frame and it is beginning to separate at the weld. The brake lines are also about to pop.
The secondary air injection pump has failed, resulting in the limp mode condition of the truck. The truck has lost climbing power and will not be able to drive more than 45 mph. I have been told that there was a recall for the same problem in the second generation tundra's. The toyota dealer has given a $2200. Estimate to fix the problem. Is there, or was there ever a recall for the first generation tundra's with this problem? and if so, is my tudra included in that recall? thanks.
The vehicle's frame corrodaded so badly with holes everywhere. The suspenssions and tire mounts came off dangling away from the frame. The crossbars are so broken that the vehicle could buckle up in motion. The issues were discovered when the vehicle was taken to safety inspection station.
Noise from under vehicle, decided to remove bed for repairs, i was terrified of what i found: a very rusty frame , bolts with heads that turn into crumble when touched, and such...
Driving home at the end of our vacation, my wife and i were in seperate vehicles, she in front of me on i-80 going west bound.we'd just gotten off the george washington bridge and as traffic was building and slowing, she braked ahead of me and when i pressed my brake it went to the floor.i couldn't stop in time before rear ending the car my wife was driving.it was a low speed impact, maybe 25 mph.no police report and we just kept driving after checking that all was ok.i took the truck to the shop to have the brakes repaired and the mechanic called me to say the brake lines and everything associated needed to be replaced.he stated he cannot do the work due to the fact the truck is rusted beyond repair and he felt unsafe to work underneath the truck for fear of it falling on him.i found there was a recall on the truck for rusted frame issues and the window to respond was missed due to personal reasons involving care of a since deceased mother.i tried to talk to toyota but the short answer is i was too late even though therusted frame is only worsening with time due to from what i understand is a manufacturing flaw with the method these trucks were produced.
I am the second owner of the vehicle, and purchased it only after i reviewed its carfax history, dealership repair history, and additional owner documents. Specifically, this truck was treated with a toyota dealers rust protection package which covered structural members and frame of the motor vehicle are warranted not to rust through from the inside out during the warranty period specified'. Prior to the expiration of the rust protection policy warranty, the original owner requested frame rust evaluation and remediation. Toyota performed this service in 2015. This truck has less than 70,000 miles.following my purchase, i took the truck to toyota autonation in libertyville il for a mechanical inspection. At this time i was told the frame was perforated. The toyota autonation service manager submitted a photograph of the perforation to toyota corporate to request frame replacement. He was told because rust remediation service had been performed previously, toyota would not cover the frame rust perforation defect. Proper manufacturing anti-corrosion application alone should have been sufficient, especially for a vehicle with low mileage and exemplary owner care and toyota dealership service. When i asked the toyota autonation assistant service manager how i could fix the frame damage, he said once perforation occurs you really can't, because what has occurred in one location is probably occurring throughout the entire frame, and i could dump (sell) the truck. For these reasons, i believe this toyota tundra's frame perforation rust is due to defective design, materials or workmanship during in manufacture of the vehicle, and should be replaced under the recall. In a follow up call with toyota customer care they said they would not help resolve the issue.sincerely,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).*cc
My service provider reported in october 2018 that the underside of the vehicle was very rusted.i had them replace the rusted muffler.during the test drive after repairs the front brake line burst because of rust.i had it repaired.during pressure testing after repairs the rear brake line burst because of rust.at this point, the dealer showed me that the frame was so deteriorated that it required replacement.the cost of this repair would be more than the blue book value of the vehicle, so i parked the truck in my driveway.if my wife and i would have been driving when the brake lines burst, we could have been killed. I have never heard of brake lines rusting and failing before.toyota claims that i was notified to have the frame inspected in 2015 for possible replacement.i was not notified.toyota refuses to do anything to help with my problem.this vehicle with every option available at the time of purchase is no longer usable.how many other tundras out there have the potential of brake lines failing because of rust.
My toyota tundra was part of a toyota 'limited service campaign' regarding corrosion of the vehicle's frame. I took the vehicle in for inspection which resulted in them cleaning and spraying something on the frame on 5/9/14 with 89,820 miles on the vehicle. When attempting to trade the vehicle in on 4/19/17 with approximately 109,000 miles on it, it was determined there is a hole in the frame where the front stabilizer attaches to frame. Not only is there a hole in frame but the stabilizer is no longer attached. I contacted toyota and they said they have no responsibility regarding this issue.i have had other issues regarding corrosion on this vehicle and each put my personal safety at risk. Another example happened around september of 2015 with 94,000 miles on the vehicle when i discovered the fuel tank was hanging down and almost touching the ground. Turned out the mounting straps had rusted through. I noticed it after having just driven to a local business. Had i not noticed it, the tank could have hit the road while i was driving caught fire before i could have stopped. I contacted toyota and they said they had no responsibility regarding this issue.i have also had brake lines rust through causing me to loose most of my braking when driving on a local street and just barely being able to stop the vehicle.i have been the only owner of this vehicle and i have taking good care of it including washing during the winter months. At what point is toyota responsible for insuring the vehicles remain safe throughout their normal lifetime. A frame should not rust through with only 109,000 miles.
My 2006 tundra double cab 4.7l limited 4wd has a significantly large cut on the frame due to rust. The cut starts on the frame from the bracket holding the sway bar link back to the crossmember frame. This rust is spreading and is extremely dangerous for me and my family. This vehicle is my daily commute vehicle and i live in a northern region of the us where salt is used on roads during the winter. The vehicle history has always been from the northern region. Please contact me regarding a frame recall or replacement as soon as possible as this is a very concerning safety issue for myself and my family.
Current mileage aprox. 89000 . Had a brake check at my local repair shop. Raised truck on to the lift and was shocked at what had been revealed . The frame has rotted through all of its cross members, creating a major structural problem. The rear cross member wich is connected at 4 points to the main frame rails is now only connected at 1 point. This cross member also carrys the spare tire. If gone un discoverd may have fallen off during travel, creating a saftey concern. The main frame rail has major rust damage at the connection point with the center cross member wichprovides stability to the engine and transmission . Toyota had a recall on these frames but were only providing a spray on rubberized coating, wich mostly flaked off in my driveway. I have called toyota directly and opened up a claim wich was eventually denied.the vehicle will not pass inspection as is .im not financially in a position to buy a new vehicle at this time . I dont know where else to turn with this situation if you spend 40-50,000 dollars on a vehicle you should be able to get more than 89000 miles out of it
The spare tire was hanging under the truck. Use the tools to crank it back up and hold it securely. The first turn and the cable snapped and tire fell.the cable was rusted and snapped and the carrier holding the tire itself fell
Structural frame rusted through. Toyota dealer sprayed frame in 2014 and said the frame would be fine as of four years ago the frame has rotted through under the drivers side. Some structural supports also rotted on the frame. Contact with toyota customer service and with the dealer it's frustrating and non-productive .when the dealer sprayed the frame they failed to plug all the holes in the frame. At this point there is no additive or sealer that the dealer sprayed on the frame it has all washed away. I can actually place four fingers thru the bottom of the frame. This has been ongoing since 2017 when i first notice the rot.*dt*dtconsumer stated frame and trailer hitch was rusted.
Earlier in the year of 2017, a class action lawsuit against toyota (brian warner et al. V. Toyota motor sales) was settled regarding frame rust and corrosion. This lawsuit led to the recall of all 2005-2010 tacomas, 2007-2008 tundras, and 2005-2008 sequoias. Being that the sequoias are based off of the tundra it is interesting that the respective years of tundras were not included with the sequoias. The argument for the case was that there was not any rust protectant put onto these frames and therefore they were rotting prematurely and causing serious danger to the people who drive them. I have even read stories of trucks snapping in half under their own weight when being put onto a lift.i am the owner of a 2006 tundra and am experiencing this exact same problem but am not covered under this recall. One of the rack and pinion mounts that are welded onto the frontmost crossmember of the frame is 2/3 rotted away and is almost to the point where it will break off leading to an unsafe vehicle and potentially deadly accident. This is the reason toyota lost this lawsuit and why other vehicles with this same problem have been recalled. Toyota also recognized this issue in 2015 with a limited service campaign which expired and offered no warranty enhancement for it.i recently visited a toyota dealership who went under the vehicles and claimed that the rot is so bad underneath my truck that they would replace the frame entirely if it had been recalled. They also gave me documentation of this. Essentially my frame is beyond repair and potentially deadly because of the negligence of the toyota motor company. I then contacted the toyota corporate number and was given a case number but they refuse to do anything about it. If the 2006 sequoia was included which is based off of the tundra, and has the exact same frame, why wasn't the tundra included with this recall?
"takata inflator recall"toyota dealers have not replaced the recalled inflators on my vehicle. This puts us in danger of aforementioned air bag inflator, causing a dangerous injury. We need assistance.
Frame recall toyota dealer sprayed some undercoating on it instead of replacing the frame and now its rusting again. No one wants my truck without the frame being replaced.
The chassis is rusted and the tires started leaning out because they are no longer supported fully.the vehicle is unsafe to drive now because of tire issues, and control.insurance and or police will not look at because no accident occurred yet.i just notified toyota who said the recall on models such as this had ended in 2015.the used car dealer my son just purchased from 5 months ago has denied any knowledge of the problem.
Excessive frame rot on my 2006 tundra. The truck was brought to the dealer to have the corrosion coating applied but it didn't stop the frame from rotting prematurely. Two years later all the coating has peeled off and the rust has gotten way worse. The same year sequoias have the same frame and they were recalled. Why hasn't the 2003-2006 tundras been included? this is a safety issue an must be resolved.
I have a lot of frame rust. I have read that many have same issue. No one has any suggestions on what to do next. Some of these vehicles frames have rusted completely and are not usable.
We had the truck inspected in june 2019 after just doing new break lines which rusted, we had also just put new tires on it.truck passed inspection june 2019. Truck developed power steering leak in july. While looking into the leak we noticed the frame rusted and the anti sway bar is completely rusted off the frame.can not trade this in or sell it now. Mileage 124k.
Anti rust coating was applied in 2016 as part of a recall- coating was not properly applied and moisture got underneath. Now, 2020, most of the coating has peeled off, revealing a 3 inch hole in my frame and a comepletley broken cross member near the gas tank. This is unacceptable to me that royota would cover up this problem like this and not replace all frames. This is not safe. My truck runs amazing, and only has 105000 miles on it. I expect something to be done!
2006toyota tundra with under 85,000 miles - dealer that has seen vehicle regularly has it in for routine service tells us it is now unsafe to operate because rust has weakened framedealer offered no assistance or suggestions
Toyota tundra 2006 rusted frame, straight to the point i have a 2006 tundra diagnosed may 15 2018 buy the toyota dealership with rust through on the frame and toyota tell's me they will do nothing about it. I find that strange since toyota replaced many many frames on 2000 to 2006 tundra's.
The frame on my o6 tundra is deteriorated badly tire shop wouldn't perform work requested. My question is you send recalls for airbags etc. For the safety of passengers what about everyone on the roads safety. Toyota should be responsible for this as they were with many other models. This should be looked at for the safety of everyone on the road.
My toyota tundra has sever frame rust and will not pass inspection. The truck has 173,000 miles on it and i just got it paid off and will now have to junk it.
Frame rusted really bad as in other model trucks for toyota
"framing issue"i discovered on july 23, 2017 the framing on my truck as already corroding with front drivers side of the frame beginning to completely rot with the metal becoming brittle and crumbling leaving holes in the frame. Toyota corporation had a recall regarding the frames for this vehicle which were not protected for the northeast winter weather conditions. They applied an anti-corrosin spray in hopes that the problem would be corrected, but the results three years later is the framing has been subjected to corrosion which may render the frame to complete support failure. Speaking with christeen, case manager at toyota (800-331-4331, ext 73811: case #1707240770), failed to rectify the problem in saying there is no open case regarding this issue, therefore toyota will not take responsibility. She further went on to say that toyota extended a courtesy in recalling the 2006 toyota tundras for this problem to all customers even those being outdside the warranty timeline (at time of recall my truck had 93,000 miles). They believed that this anti-corrosion spray would allow the frames an extended life period before the corrosion would eventually rot out the frames completely. She apologized in saying there is nothing more she could do and hoped that there was another avenue she could take in resolving this problem.
Excessive frame corrosion on my 2006 toyota tundra. Large pieces of metal flake off from rust on the entirety of the frame.
The frame of my truck is rusting away. The left rail of the frame ( under the drivers area) looks like swiss cheese with all the holes in it. Yesterday i took the truck to have the frame patch welded and was told that it wasn't the worst spot of rot.the frame section that joins the left front wheel assembly is badly rotted and when tapped with a hammer hunks of it are falling off. I have brought the truck back to herb chambers, my dealer, and was told that my truck did not fit the criteria for frame replacement.in 2015 i brought the truck to the dealer for its recall for frame rot and the truck received a frame coating of rust protector. 2 years lateri was told by the manager of the service area that this coating was a joke. Toyota found that the coating never dried therefore would have washed off in the next wet driving day, so no rust protection.when i questioned toyota corporate why the 06 tundra wasn't getting called back when so many others had been, i was told that there was no information available.i love my truck, it runs great, has no other issues, 259,844 miles on it and i need to keep it going for at least another year.i can not afford to buy another vehicle due to my family circumstances and really need my truck to get to work and hospital in boston with my husband.can you offer any recourse?i can't be the only one with a rotten frame on my 06 tundra.i thank you for this ability to let you know of my trouble and truly hope and pray that you carry some weight with toyota because they sure don't care about me.oh by the way---you should see the rot holes in the frame in my engine compartment, that doesn't fit toyota's criteria either.thank you for listening,(xxxxx)parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I am a ase certified master tech and mechanic of 15 years. I owned a auto repair shop for 5 years and have since returned the vehicle to toyota lease. My 2006 toyota tundra would accelerate on its own at times. To stop it i would have to turn off the key, pull over and then restart it. Being a master technician i assure you it was electronic in nature. In no way was it a floor mat or accelerator pedal stuck. I did take it in for repair and was told there was no problem found. It did happen in the same location 3 times and could have been caused by emi. Again it was electrical in nature, there is no doubt of this. I do not own it any longer and hold no negative feelings towards toyota.

Suddenly, the gear shifter was placed into the "neutral" position and the engine was turned off.the vehicle restarted and resumed normal operation. The failure occurred intermittently. In addition, the front passenger power window released in a downward position without assistance while starting the ignition. The vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunctions. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra crew cab. The rear leaf spring broke and fell off while the contact was driving approximately 50 mph. The contact also stated that at a traffic light, the rpms increased occasionally and he had to depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle from lunging forward. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where he was refused repairs since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. He was referred to a local repair shop to have the vehicle repaired at his own expense. The dealer called the manufacturer who stated that there was nothing that could be done to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.
I own a 2006 toyota tundra truck. I have had two incidents where the accelerator has stuck.braking did not slow down the acceleration.i was almost involved in an accident and almost went through my garage door. I took the truck to dealer who said there was no problem. The truck is not currently on recall.
The day i drove my 2006 tundra off of the lot i noticed that when i am at a complete stop (red light or stop sign for example) with my foot completely pressing on the brake, the rpm's rise out of no where.in other words, the truck lunges forward when at a complete stop.i have reported to three dealerships, those that i take my truck in for service to, and the dealer i purchased the truck from.i first complained about this during the first week after i purchased it.i have requested that the service clerks include this in the notes, and complains sections when i take in the truck.i requested this to document my truck's actions.

Why have my odi's not been addressed ? 10183308, 10288886, 10293097, 10293888, 10314732. I have a 2006 toyota tundra that has problems with it since nov. 2006. That is when i purchased it. Unfortunately for me i didn't have repair orders written up. I am not on the recall list and that's fine. But regardless i want my vehicle fixed. I was in an accident in oct. 2009 due to sua. I reported it to my dealer and my insurance carrier. The vehicle was looked at by a factory rep. It was decided by toyota that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. I was told by toyota to get an estimate on repairs. That was a preliminary estimate of just under $2000.00. I was told not to have the repairs done until i heard from toyota. To this day of march 5, 2010 the vehicle has not been repaired. I chose not to have the truck fixed because i was hoping toyota would, as mr. Burton from texas told jim lentz, "if you know where a vehicle is that needs to be investigated go get that vehicle, i don't care if it cost one hundred thousand dollars, go get that vehicle. I must say mr. Lahood you have done that. This is the reason mine is not repaired. I have been writing emails to anyone that cared. The truck is still here? i have been in contact with people from toyota about getting my vehicle purchased back and then they can test it. I'm reminded all the time that mine is not on the recall list. I say so what! it is not a safe vehicle to drive, my wife will not drive the truck and doesn't even want to be a passenger. It is a time bomb waiting to go off. Likened to russian roulette whenever you turn the ignition switch. I know that you have gone out and "got that vehicle". When sir, will you get mine? i hate wasting money to fix something that needs to be dismantled and gone trough with a fine tooth comb. I also share the responsibility to any person that may buy the vehicle to disclose the imperfections about the vehicle.please help!!!!
Odi numbers, 10183308, 10288886, 10293097, 10293888. These are odi's that are in regards to my vehicle. I have said all along that the problem is electrical. I still maintain that. I have had the vehicle seen by the factory rep and received a letter from tms saying that everything is working as designed. They even looked at my throttle linkage. I don't have linkage. So what else have they looked at. If it worked as designed, why does it work differently than it did when new? i have suggested many times over that tms take my truck back and use it as a test vehicle. I have not had it repaired for that reason. My truck has done all sorts of weird things. That is why i feel that it would make a fantastic vehicle to use to find the problem with the electrical system. Now i hear that during the hearings that the congressman from texas told the ceo of tms to go get that vehicle and use it as a test vehicle regardless if they had to pay one hundred thousand dollars. They certainly wouldn't have to pay me that much, just make me whole. My truck is a mother load of information. Tms is really dropping the ball on this one. I want my dealer to work with me to get tms to do as they say they will do. My dealer says that their hands are tied. Well tms call japan and see if mr. T will agree with me. The truck has not been repaired and i feel that once they start taking it apart that the problem will be exposed. This is the third toyota truck that i have had and would be pleased to have another as long as it was free of defects. The pedal they are going to use is going to give them more problems than the one that is in the truck now. If it is sticking, create a scheduled maintenance to lube it or whatever it takes. Shorter pedal means foot will slide off, probably more fatigue on the ankle. I just want the people that made promises to keep them. You can get with my dealership and possibly help come to a resolution. There is a person in england that is sharp on cruise out of control.
Air pressure in one tire constantly deflates. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that due to the porosity chrome of the wheels, air leaks out from the wheel causing the tire to deflate.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The driver-side all weather floor-matbecame stuck underneath of the accelerator pedal. The vehicle then accelerated up to 110 mph. He turned the vehicle off and then back on, pulled the emergency brake, and then pressed on the brake pedal,but the vehicle would not stop.it took 1/4 of a mile to stop the vehicle.after he discontinued vehicle operation he removed the floor mat from under the accelerator pedal. He contacted the dealer, but they did not identify a remedy. The current mileage was 30,000. The failure mileage was 3,000.
2006 toyota tundra cruise control, when in use and has to compensate for speed reduction goes into full throttle, no gradual speed increase, i have to immediately hit brakes and or turn off cruise control.happens all the time when in use.

While driving 5 mph, she attempted to make a right turn and the vehicle accelerated with an extreme force.the contact took the vehicle to a local repair shop to have the vehicle inspected. The contact was advised that there was an electronic system failure between the accelerator and the computer and to contact the manufacturer . The manufacturer was contacted but no resolution was made. The failure and current mileages were 66,000.
Vehicle acceleration - have a toyota tundra 2006 and it had accelerated on its own. I was very lucky that i pressed both feet down on the brakes and turned the vehicle which made me go up on a sidewalk. I thought i was going to hit a wall but it did not. I then came home and called the place that we purchased the truck and was told to bring it in for another recall and that they would look at it. Upon picking up the truck we were told that they did not see anything that would have caused the acceleration. I now see that toyota is having such a problem so i wanted to report this. I am just so happy that i was not on a highway. I have two small children and i am now so worried about driving this truck.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 to 75 mph, the front end of the vehicle vibrated violently. In addition, the vehicle suddenly accelerated to 100 mph while the brake was depressed. The contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a cement wall. The contact did not have any injury to report.the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer inspected the vehicle and concluded that nothing was wrong with it. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 100,000.
The truck went intolimp mode" reducing power and acceleration.. At highway speeds, in traffic, or in remote places, this creates a serious safety issue. Issue appears to be "air injection pump" and/or related valves. This is a well-documented issue with the toyota tundra encountered by owners of the 2006 tundra, and should be included in an earlier expanded warranty program. Repairs are however out of warranty, are potentially 3-4 thousand dollars and should be covered in previous toyota program for the 2007 model year.contacted toyota customer support to no avail.
This complaint is to include odi #'s 10183308,10288886, and 10293097. The odi #'s are all for the same vehicle but are for different dates in which this vehicle had something to report that was different but were associated.this complaint is for an incident that occurred on nov. 27th 2009. I was parked almost all the way out of my garage. The vehicle was running and transmission was in park with emergency brake applied. Fortunately i was sitting behind the wheel and immediately shut the ignition off. I do not know the rpm's. My wife was getting into the truck on the passengers front. When all of a sudden the engine raced as it would have as described as "unintentional sudden acceleration". This was the second time that the truck did this except that the transmission was in park. Being out in the desert and this happening and being in the garage in park sends out to me a message that this truck has a glitch in it that now has happened twice. If i was not in the truck, god only knows what would have happened. I have reported the sudden acceleration to toyota already. Toyota has looked at the truck at my dealers and has sent the information to their legal dept. To decide what they will do. I have not reported the latest incident. The toyota people are supposed to call me monday the 30th. I shall tell them about this incident at that time. I have already told them that they should have impounded the vehicle but instead they let me drive the vehicle home. What needs to happen is toyota needs to buy the truck back and make me whole on the complete purchase price of the truck. Once that is done they can use my vehicle as a test truck.the floor mats are the correct toyota issued with one keeper. My gas pedal doesn't hang up, so possibly they will actually have to find the problem. I really hope they find what the issue is. But once they say that "it is fixed". I'll wait another year before i amuse myself to purchase another truck. I always trusted toyota but no more.
I am filing this complaint with reference to odi #' s 10183308 and 10288886. These odi's were put in by me. These are lead up's to this complaint. After the collision with the polaris i drove my vehicle home. The next day i drove the vehicle to tim's toyota in prescott az. Where the vehicle was purchased. They looked at the vehicle and said that they would call for a factory rep. To look at my vehicle. This was to be on nov. 9, 2009. I did drive my vehicle to yarnell az for deer season. I drove the vehicle back to prescott to meet with the factory rep. He did whatever they do and said he had all the information he needed. He also told me to go ahead and get an estimate for the repairs but not to have it repaired until i heard from toyota. The preliminary estimate is just shy of $2000.00. This estimate was given to jeff locke to be sent to toyota. My question to all of this is, why did toyota allow me to drive this vehicle after the meeting, when they know that i am driving a time bomb. Also why hasn't national highway safety involved itself into an investigation of its own? i now know the verbiage for the incident. It is called " sudden unintended acceleration" which is tied together with the cruise control, throttle body and other electrical, vacuum controlled , mechanical units. Look it up for yourselves. It will open your eyes to what is going on with this condition. My vehicle sits in my garage so anytime national highway safety wants to do an investigation is fine with me. Toyota has not done a proper evaluation of the issue. My insurance company is behind me 100% and is now going to contact toyota to try to find the cause for "sudden acceleration" and cruise control units to behave the way that they are. Racing to over 5000 rpm's and hunting gears the way they do is just not the way they are supposed to operate. Toyota would have us believe that a floor mat is at fault and now the whole pedal assembly. Or is it that we don't know the gas from the brake pedal?

I purchased an 06 tundra in april of 09. I have noticed from time to time when at a stop lightthe engine will surge and if you are not on the brake hard the truck will jolt forward quickly. Is this part of the same issue with the accelerator problem that toyota is recalling so many vehicles?
My 2006 toyota tundra pickup truck has developed maximum acceleration on seven (7) occasions when i made hard accelerations in order to pass other vehicles while also engaging the resume mode of the cruise control.on the first two (2) occasions i applied the brakes heavily with no results and my vehicle continued to accelerate and i was forced to knock the truck out of gear and the engine continued to run a max rpms and i keep pumping the gas pedal until the engine finally slowed.the last time a similar event occurred i had a open highway after passing a slower vehicle so i cut the ignition off and my vehicle slowed down, i turned the ignition back on and my truck went to max acceleration again.the third time i cut the ignition off i heard a thump in the floor board close the gas pedal and the vehicle slowed and operated normally when i turned the ignition back on.i was traveling on a interstate the first two times this problem happened and just avoided hitting other vehicles.on the last occasion i had time to try a different solution.in each event the breaks were not effective at all.on 12/2/10 my toyota dealers service dept. Checked my truck after i made the above complaint and found no problems.in the past i had raised the issue with the dealers service dept and regional toyota rep. And was told by both that the 06 tundra did not have acceleration problems. Updated 01/17/12updated ivoq 03/30/12
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact started the vehicle and the rpms increased for a few seconds without the contact depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact shut the vehicle off and restarted it and it functioned normally. The contact informed the manufacturer and they stated that he would have to get it inspected by a authorized dealer and pay the repair cost. The vehicle warranty was not valid. The manufacturer also stated that they only go back as far as the 2007 model and that there were no known recalls on the 2006 models. The failure was 10,000 and the current mileage was 25000.
2006 toyota tundra need a copy ofcomplaint.see odi# 102935683/12/2010 update*cwthe consumer stated the gas pedal became stuck and he had to hit a pole to avoid going over an 8 foot embankment.updated 03/26/10
2006 tundra - have had truck only 2 weeks and took road trip.when using cruise control and starting up a modest hill vehicle will kick down from overdrive into drive, even though w/o cruise vehicle can handle hill fine in overdrive.this will bring rpms from 2000 to 3000.this is merely annoying.sometimes will kick down past drive and into 3rd gear, bringing rpms to 5000 and cause the vehicle to accelerate rapidly on hill.this seems unsafe, especially in crowded or wet conditions.have found numerous complaints from other tundra owners online.all say dealer and toyota claim this is "normal." toyota corporate office told me they consider this "normal" and recommend i not use cruise control in hilly areas. Must not have hilly areas where toyota engineers live.
Ltr from (tx) reporting problems withhis 2006 tundra motor vehicle. The cruise control has a problem down shifting 2 gears on minor grade for no reason, which caused the engine to rev to over 4000 rpms.the vehicle would not shift into overdrive while driving on the freeway. The brake will fade while sitting at a traffic light. The stopping distance on the vehicle was much longer than any other vehicle the consumer had driven.the vehicle was getting very poor gas mileage.there was an odor from the air condition. The tire sensor light illuminated, but it was resolved.
I was driving north out of phoenix arizona on i-17 just past black canyon city, with my cruise control set at 75 mph. There is a very long hill going north to sunset point. Prior to approaching the hill i canceled the cruise so that the transmission wouldn't hunt gears. I drove up the hill at 65 to 75 mph (no cruise). When i made the top of the hill at sunset point and leveled out, i accelerated the vehicle to 75 mph and hit resume. The engine raced to 5200 rpm. I redline at 5700 rpm. The transmission did not follow suite. It was as if i was in neutral revving the engine. I immediately canceled the cruise and drove a mile or so without cruise, then decided to try it again. Everything worked normal. I have been in contact with my dealers service dept. And they are baffled. They have not looked at it as yet due to their schedule. As soon as they can get me in they will. They did say that there should have been a check engine light, but there was not. They are hoping that the onboard computer recorded it. Not only is this a major safety hazard, but it could have caused my engine to blow up. I'm not sure what reaction my wife would have had. She drives all the vehicles we have and they both have cruise, yet she is not that familiar wit rpm's and redlines and the issue that follow.when i have allowed the cruise to pull me up an incline it usually drops 1 or two gears and the rpm's are around 3000 to 3200. This i consider normal. I had a 1999 toyota tacoma with a six cylinder engine and cruise, so i am very familiar with the system.i purchased the vehicle from tim's toyota in prescott, i also brought to their attention a noise that i heard in the right front suspension and they are going to take care of it under a new recall that has not even been sent to customers, nor was the service dept aware of it.
With cruise control engaged at 55 mph any increase in incline will initiate a one or two gear downshift and substantial throttle application.also when in cruise control using hand control stalk to increase speed slightly will initiate a one or two gear downshift and substantial throttle application.both of these situations can startle the driver because of the abrupt changes and could cause an accident leading to injury/death.
2006 toyota tundra:when cruise control is engaged, any hill or even minor incline initiates a downshift of one or two gears accompanied by full throttle acceleration does not occur, even on major hills sans cruise control.dealer says this is normal.action should be taken before an accident/death occurs.
2006 tundra 4 door overspeed when driving in cruise control.when driving at highway speed with cruise control on and approaching a slight incline, the vehicle will drop into passing gear and the throttle will go to full throttle.this will cause the operator to lose control of the vehicle, especially on a rain slick road.this has happened many times, and although i am aware that it could happen, it still startles me when it occurs.if close behind another vehicle, this could lead to an rear end accident.the normal progression should be dropping out of overdrive, with a gradual acceleration to maintain set speed, and then back to overdrive when set speed is obtained.dealer called toyota and they claimed this is normal operation.documented with toyota dealer, and now with nhtsa.when accident occurs as a result of this overspeed, hopefully toyota will reset the computer control module to fix problem.
I have a fiberglass cap on the bed of my pickup truck. When it rains or snows, or during any inclement weather, i can not see out the back window of the cap. There is no wiper for the back window.. All suv type vehicles have a wiper, but not truck caps. Why? i understand that your fmvss no. 111, rear view mirrors, states that i should be able to see out the rear window, to the horizon, clearly. Without a wiper that is impossible. When the caps are installed on the trucks it blocks the upper brake light, and you made the cap manufacturers put an upper rear brake light on the back of the caps. Since the cap manufacturers are in violation of the rule, you should force them to install wipers on all their caps. It is a safety issue. I read on a michelin wiper blade advertisement that 40% of all accidents are caused by reduced vision. A wiper system is available on www.truckcapwiper.com.they should buy them there and install them on all caps.
2006 tundra crew cab window defect in the mechanism made window fall out. Would have been covered by warranty as common problem but warranty has run out. If a common problem seems it should be a recall.
My son drives this truck. The truck was purchased new in 2006 by my father in law. Today, while driving in a residential area, the wheel shook, my son heard a pop, and the left wheel separated from the barring thus skidding on the ground. The truck has been towed to a service center to be evaluated.
Driving my 2006 toyota tundra on april 25 2014, i made a left hand turn onto a freeway on ramp , catastrophic ball joint failure on the drivers side causing me to loose control of the vehicle and hit the embankment. My car is supposedly 10 days out of the recall notice for the front lower ball joint and the dealership is refusing to honor the recall. Took my vehicle to the local toyota dealership estimated $1400 repair bill. Had the ball joint failed while i was on the freeway this could have been a serious tragedy. From my research ball joint failure is a known issue on 2002-2006 tundras but for whatever reason my car is 10 days outside the recall notice. ..updated 06/27/14updated 10/21/2014
This is still a problem........since the original 70b recall. I was backing into the driveway when the left front ball joint failed. My son and i had just come off of the highway. My tire was nearly off the truck and it jammed into the left front quarter panel, i could not exit the driver side door. The nut came off and was on the ground, the cotter pin was no where to be found. I took my vehicle to the dealership and of course they would not may for this repair. I cannot understand what this defect has not been part of a mass recall by toyota motors. This is still a problem and potential danger.
My tires were rotated by discount tires (3836 plaza dr., ocnsd, ca). They did not tighten all the lugs on my right driver side tire and it flew off when i was driving and badly damaged my car. They are denying all responsibility and assume that the lugs are either tightened fully or not at all. I located all the lugs and only one sheared off the stuff. Also the safety stud was not tightened. Please investigate them to make sure they train they employees for proper and safe tire rotation. Also please let me know any other agency that oversees tire rotation businesses. Thank you.
Wheel corrosion on my 2006 toyota tundra 4d v8.dealer had the wheels replaced about 2 yrs. Ago (still under warranty at that time).now having the exact same problem or bubbling/corrosion under the sealant/paint with the new wheels and being told, "sorry, they're out of warranty".would appear to be an obvious manufacturing process defect to me that would lead to eventual lack of structural integrity.
My husband and i purchased a 2006 toyota tundra access cab on 11/25/06 at toyota of fort worth texas . Less than 6 days later, we were driving home on a street that leads to our house,less than a mile,we have been traveling this road for at least 15 years. It was slightly raining, we approached the curve to the left on this road. Made the curve and all of a sudden the wheels broke loose, my husband tried to correct but the truck began to accelerate, then turned completely sideways and crashed into two trees that were less than 5 feet from the road. It also appears that the 4 wheel anti lock brake system wasn't working.
I feel this is not an isolated case and can lead to catastrophic failure of the alloy wheels on toyota trucks causing serious injury and possible death to driver and/or passengers. Alloy wheels are corroding with only 40,000 miles and toyota won't even call me back. Service manager at northshore toyota in louisiana said it was due to extreme use. This was after a 30 second inspection. When i asked to speak with a factory rep. I was told that would not happen. Since then i have been given the run around by toyota. I have owned and recommended toyota's since 1974 and will now seriously reconsider my position.

There is a considerable amount of rust underneath my truck, despite the frame being replaced from a voluntary recall.the tire pressure monitoring system has deteriorated from rust and is no longer functioning.
(toyota going places)on wednesdays february 5, 2014 about 5:30pm , i was driving my 2006 toyota tundra to work.as i was making a right-hand turn onto i-95 south, the front left-hand side of my truck collapsed.to my surprise the ball joints head separated from the suspension, the left bottom front suspension was dragging the highway and the left front wheel was now stuck under the running board.this accident also damaged the left front bumper, the left front fender and the left front door. Needless to say i was traumatized. I saw no warning that this accident was about to happen. I kept my truck in immaculate condition and had regularly maintenance done at this toyota dealership.we decided to do a search on the web to see if any recalls existed and there is a recall on the 2006 toyota tundra for this exact issue.however when i called toyota corporate and provided my vin number - low and behold my truck was not in that recall (my vin# missed it by 15 days).the toyota representative asked me to take my truck to the local toyota dealership and get a written estimate.at my own expense, i had the truck towed and after about two days my repair expenses were denied by toyota.however, i was offered $750 toward the purchase of a new toyota for being a loyal customer.i purchased three new vehicles from this toyota dealership (2006, 2007, & 2008).after fighting with the dealership and toyota corporate for a day and half, i was asked to move my truck out of their shop.so at my expense my 2006 tundra was towed back to my house (toyotagoing places).withoutexaggeration, a lot of people are going to get hurt if fatalities do not occur due to this defect.toyota need another recall. Toyota going places - if the ball joints don't fall outsincerely yours,06 toyota tundra owner
I purchased this vehicle from another man. The truck would steer off when it would hit a small bump or hole in the road. I took it to goodyear to see if it was something to do with the alignment and found out the whole front end suspension and everything attached to it needed to be changed. This happens when the truck is motion and have had to change and rotate the tires more than once within this year. There is wear on the front tires on the outside. I will have to change them again when we fix the alignment.this also happens on any street and is pretty scary when driving on the highway.the tires sound like i'm peeling out or the tire is flat as i'm driving down the road. I can't make sharp turns because the tires start skipping. I have not made any repairs to it because i can't afford to pay the bill at this time. Only thing i've fixed is the tires. The lights on the dash show that the tires are low on air. The cost quoted to me would be close to $2000. I also heard from many people that the year i have with the tundra have had the samecomplaints as i have.it's a 2006 toyota tundra and is my first truck purchase for myself..my first vehicle was a 1983 toyota camry and i loved it!! i've never had any kind of issue with a toyota in the past and would like to continue to think anything but positive things!toyota's are definitely built to last and would love to pass it down to my son but unfortunately we have to postpone considering it's not safe for him to be driving. This is his last year in high school so hopefully we can get it back to him before the year is up.
I purchased 4 new tires from bf goodrichdealer in minnesota on12/9/2015 they mounted and balanced and installed the tires. Then on 9/01/2017 i hada rear passenger tire explode and come apart at highway speed. I brought the damaged tire back to the dealership which installed them and contacted the manufacture only to find out that the tires the dealer sold me as new tires had a manufactures date of 09/2000 that meant that the tires where over 15 years old that they sold me as new tires and i believe that is ultimately the issue of the tire exploding causing a very serious situation and i was wondering what type of action as a consumer i can take to rectify this situation. Thanks and have a great day.
The contact owns a 2005 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the alloy wheels began to bubble, causing loss of air pressure in the tires and the tires to deflate. The rims were cleaned but all four wheels continued to leak air.the vehicle was inspected by the dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the incident. The failure mileage was 39,000.
I was leaving a parking lot when the right front ball joint failed. The wheel fell off, the suspension dropped down. I put the vehicle in park, turned off the engine and called for a tow truck.
All four rims are the alloy wheel . They are all blistering and pieces of rims are falling out. Called toyota they told in short there is no recall on them and there is nothing they can do. They also would not comment if there were others complaints on the rims. They told me there is nothing they will do until they are in recall.
The contact owns a 2006 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the air pressure in two of the tires would constantly deflate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the dealer, who diagnosed that due to the porosity in the interior of the wheels, air would leak out from the wheels causing the tires to deflate. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 100,000.
