Takata recall,gas pedel acceleration aggression in motion
Body computer failed disabling the emergency flashers, turn signals, tach, speedometer, air bags, abs,stability control, and rendering the truck's controller area network (can-bus) network unusable for normal and emergency needs.engine would run, transmission would shift, but the safety features of the tundra appeared to be disabled along with the flashers, turn signals, tach, and speedometer which were inoperative.i live near houston and toyota has this part on backorder nationwide indicating this failure may be common with this and maybe other tundra trucks.when the body computer fails the truck is unsafe to drive yet it can be driven!
Was struck side struck by a vehicle running a red light.my head struck the drivers side window, transported by fire & rescue to local hospital.hospital diagnosis was a "closed wound concussion".other driver was charged on multiple counts.mechanics that repaired my truck estimate the vehicle that hit me was travelling 40-45mph. My airbags did not deploy.impact area on my truck was front driver side quarter panel and front left tire.have viewed a side impact crash test for my make, model and year. In that test the airbags did deploy and the driver dummy hit head in exact location as i did.i would assume the crash test dummy would not have received a concussion due to the protection from the side airbag deployment. One of the reasons for my purchase of this vehicle was the safety aspect.the manufacturer marketed the airbag system as a key selling point.i did have my seat belt on at the time of the crash.i can provide police accident report, photos of both vehicles, repair detail for my truck and personal damage.
Air bags (manufacture unknown)on sept 29, 2018 while driving on a two lane highway at 50 mph, my steering wheel and knee bags inflated for no reason. I applied the brakes and lost sight of the road for several seconds because of the fog on the windshield. When the fog cleared, i could see that i was going to end up in a field and that i had crossed the center line. I tried to back out of the field but could not because of the muddy conditions. I called my wife, told her the air bags had inflated for no reason. I asked her to call aaa for a tow truck. While speaking to her, a man walked up to ask if i was okay. I said yes. He then asked if i realized i had hit an oncoming vehicle. I was not. I had not seen any other vehicle because of the "fog" from the air bag.i asked him what vehicle and he pointed to a man in a red shirt standing in front of a white pickup with duel rear wheels. I told my wife i needed to go see if anyone was injured, got out of my truck and walked back to the other truck.no one was injured in the accident. I was told by my insurance adjuster that there was approximately $7,000 damage to the other truck. My vehicle was totaled.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.the manufacturer was notified.the failure mileage was 87,847.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact was braking from 30 mph when the brakes failed to engage. The contact proceeded to crash into the rear of another vehicle. The driver side air bag deployed yet the contact sustained injuries to the shoulder, back and right leg. The vehicle was towed to a garage. The contact's insurance company investigated the failure and determined it was caused by the floor mat becoming lodged between the brake pedal. The failure and current mileage was 3,500.
The brake light and the traction control lights went on one morn. Later that evening the accelerator did not disengage.i applied my brakes, and could not stop my 2010 toyota tundra! when i eventually lost control to avoid a collision with other cars on the road. I crashed my truck into a tree and off road into a ditch a 100 yards from the road.
Hi, i'm not sure how to address this but i think someone should know. This complaint is somewhat on behalf of a chp officer and family that died and the many others out there like myself, friends and family that have toyotas. I test cars for the california smog check program. I have tested thousands of vehicles both by driving them on a sensitive dynamometer at various speeds and in place at different motor rpms.when toyota changed to an electronic throttle controlon their vehicles it became very noticeable during the smog tests as the vehicle acceleration and control was more sloppy than the previous direct cable method. I worried about this because with no direct linkage and only sensors to interpret your intended acceleration, it could lead to tragic results without proper fail-safes installed. One necessary fail-safe is when you press on the brakes the engine needs to slow to prevent potentially overriding the brakes or create excessive stopping distances. This would prevent many accidents. It is well known in the automotive repair industry that voltage problems, electrical ground problems, or a malfunctioning main computer or poorly written code, will cause other sensors to behave erratically even if the specific affected sensor is not damaged. Vehicle sensors have problems now and then along with corrupted information being sent to those sensors resulting in unintended results. The sensors / linkage involved in toyota's electronic throttle control are not immune to these problems as toyota suggests. A mandatory fail-safe needs to be adopted on toyotas to override a potentially faulty electronic throttle. Acceleration complaints have risen sharply since the new throttle system was installed. The difficulty with testing a sensor system is that often it can appear to be functioning fine until the moment it misbehaves or it can act normal while good information is received and then with corrupted information it behaves apart from driver's intentions.
Turn off vehicle after normal driving went to start after parked for 15 minutes would not start 4lo and slip light on sat 20 minutes finally started happened at least 10 times dealer found no problems with vehicle driving 45 mph same lights came on truck would not go over 35mph turned off vehicle and it reset it self.
Vehicle was traveling in freeway and all of a sudden the a/t oil temp light came on and the vehicle stop right away. Engine and everything stop working. I think this is serious and too dangerous. Hope someone will investigate the issue.
There is an electrical problem that the right light bulb keeps going on and off unexpectedly. In addition, the bottom of the car has lots of rust, the tire pressure sensor is not working properly.

My door locks are failing.i have had all the mechanisms that lock and unlock my doors replaced in 6/2014.i had the drivers door mechanism replaced a second time in 5/2015.now, the driver door mechanism is failing.if it is locked, i cannot unlock; if it is unlocked, i cannot lock it via "electrical" function. Ie: key fob or door switch.this is a safety issue for occupants when needing to enter the vehicle if in unsafe areas.the inability to lock the doors when someone exits and leaves a love one inside creates an issue.we all tell our love ones, "lock the doors until i return" when we make a quick run into a store, etc. This happened to me and my wife just the other day. Scarry!!!
Floor vents for the hvac just stopped working.noticed that there was no heat going to the front floor vents.tried all the other vent settings and they all work fine as well as the auto setting, not a good thing to be doing while driving in traffic and winter road conditions. The dealer looked at the problem and repairs start at 500.00 # 87106d just for the actuators to be replaced.it could also be the whole hvac unit # 87050, 2100.00. Called toyota and they said the vehicle was out of warranty and will not respond to the issue. Case # 1511280769if the window defrost vents fail it would be dangerous to drive in cold temps.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 15v689000 (visibility). The technician informed the contact the recall was not able to be service due to the power window control module needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 98,214.updated 04/06/16*lj
Sticky master passenger power window switch / smell of burning plastic. Upon inspection passenger master power switch had melted.
Door locks will not lock.just unlock.even from inside of the truck you can not lock them.it has done this before.now its all the time.
Pwms assembly recall.dealer required inspection first then ordered parts and would take several days to obtain. Had to make another appointment to have work performed.this requires two days to take off for service to be performed.dealer is toyota of johnson city (tn).
I have a unattended acceleration problem it has now happened 4 times 3 time after the recall the latest time was today. *ln
Electric lock actuators failed sporadically and intermittently
I was informed by carfax that my truck window switches may contain the wrong type of lubricant in the switches or mechanism
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the doors would not unlock when the key fob was pressed nor via the electronic switch on the driver's side. The contact had to manually unlock the doors to access the vehicle. The failure occurred without warning. Arlington toyota (10939 atlantic blvd, jacksonville, fl 32225, (904) 302-9611) informed the contact to schedule an appointment for diagnostic testing. The dealer speculated that the door actuators may need to be replaced. The dealer also indicated that there were no recall campaigns regarding the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
My vehicle began to display the vsc (vehicle stability control) light, constantly on, last week when i turned it on.several days later the brake light and abs light also became constantly on.i decided to take it to the nearest toyota dealer and they stated that the vehicle is giving the following codes:c1203 - ecm communication circuitc1232 - deceleration sensorc1336 - zero point calibration of deceleration sensor undonethe service manager told me that they were going to try to re-flash the computer and calibrate affected items but if it wasn't possible that the sensor assembly, yaw sensor was bad and needed replacement, totaling $1305. 2 hours later he called me back to tell me that they couldn't re-flash the computer and that the issue is not the sensor assembly, yaw sensor but the abs actuator assembly, totaling over $2700.i'm reporting this since i've seen a bunch of similar cases but nothing concrete from toyota.i really don't know if this issue is un-safe or not since there are no physical symptoms except not having abs nor traction control.
I was on the highway when the engine stalled, and i barely managed to get my truck to the toyota of dallas dealership, where i had bought my vehicle. They found that between the valve block and valve there was a ring that had come loose that caused the engine to stall. When the car began to stall i could not control the steering and the brake stopped functioning properly. I am a safe driver and had maintained a safe distance between my car and those in front of me at all times, but the situation i was in was very hazardous because when the engine began to stall it made it very hard for me to manage my vehicle. Because i felt that there was no particular reason for the valves to be damaged, i did some research on the engine myself and found that the toyota v8 4.6 liter engine is also in the lexus ls460 and rx460. The engine has already been recalled by lexus because of issues with loose springs, so i think the sudden damage to my engine may have been caused by the same reason. Is there a possibility that the engine is defective?
I bought my 2010 toyota tundra brand new in feb. 2010, during a routine oil change at toyota dealer recently, engine oil leaking was noticed by the technician. The repair was done to reseal both cam box housings and replacedseals and gaskets that are related. It costed over $1800. Unfortunately, the vehicle just passed the powertrain warranty, since it has been 5 year and 11 months, but the mileage is at 38,000, related low. I have contaced toyota us headquarter, told them the oil leaking most likely started before 5 years mark, butit was just discovered now. They refused to reimburse the repair cost.the dealer service technician told me that he has seen many tundra had this oil leak issue, and most of them were within warranty, so there is no recall for this issue so far, i also did research on internet, found other people had this oil leak issue for their 2010 tundra and 2011 tundra. I would like nhtsa to investigate this wide spread issue and hopefully let toyota do a recall for this defect!
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 65 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle lost accelerationpower. The contact pulled over to the side of the road to a complete stop. The vehicle was turned off. The contact restarted the vehicle normally, but the acceleration power was lost and the warning indicator was still illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as air injection pump failure. The contact was also advised that the manufacturer issued an extended warranty for the failure, but the vehicle was over the mileage. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.

Engine leaking oil while running at the cam towers on both sides causes oil to drip onto engine exhaust header. This unsafe condition could cause a fire. This condition happens to all 4.6 and 5.7 tundra and sequoia engines produced after 2007. This is an extremely expensive to repair. The manufacture made these engines with inferior sealant at the cam towers.
In slow moving traffic, repetitive light gas and light braking. Noticed the brake becoming difficult to depress. Had my left foot stationary on the foot pad, right foot over the brake while rolling forward. Started to drop my right foot on brake as vehicle slowed in front of me and engine suddenly accelerated rapidly as if to full throttle. Pressed on the brake as hard as i could, engine redlined and rear tires started spinning. Popped it in neutral and within a second the engine stopped accelerating out of control. Floor mats were not interfering with any pedals on my immediate inspection after incident. Incident caught on dash/windshield camera.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact had to apply excessive pressure to the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the calipers failed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,865.updated 10/26/16*lj
I was driving normally down the road after work and the vehicle started running rough and wouldn't go over 40 mph. I took it to autozone and called the toyota dealer in morristown, tn. They told me there was a recall on a oxygen pump up to 150,000 miles on my vehicle and that because my vehicle was over 150,ooo miles that it wouldn't be covered and it cost over 2,000 to fix it. I wrote a letter to toyota and they said they couldn't cover it because it was my fault i didn't check for recalls when i bought it used . They never sent me a recall letter on this at all , i had bought it at around 126,000 miles and received no recall letters when it would of been covered. This is my complaint that maybe you can help me . I can not afford to fix something like this. I should of been notified. They said it was my fault i didn't check for recalls not their problem.
My tundra has 48048 miles on it.i took my tundra in for an oil change and was told there was a oil leak in the cam tower.the cost to fix it was $2850.it was no longer under warranty.i did a little searching and found that this is a problem that has occurred frequently in this engine.i contacted toyota and was told, after they consulted with the dealer, that the problem wasn't a defect, but caused by engine wear and altitude.they offered to pay for parts, which were $420.if it is really engine wear, i expect this to happen again.in talking to the dealer, i was told this is a one time fix, and it should not happen again.something isn't right here.either it is a defect in the engine and this repair will fix it.or it is normal wear and this will keep happening.i feel this is a problem that toyota should fix, since it seems to be happening frequently.many people reported it happening while it was under warranty.mine just happened to have occurred after the warranty expired.either way, it is not acceptable to have this happening in this engine with low mileage.apparently the oil leaks down from the engine onto the exhaust part of the vehicle and can cause fires.it also can leak out and cause engine damage if the oil gets too low.i hope you can help me.
A sudden acceleration of engine rpm was experienced with the transmission in park and the engine idling.without touching accelerator pedal, engine rpms increased to 3500 to 4000 for 8-10 seconds before returning to typical idling speedengine would not subsequently respond to depression of accelerator pedal. Toyota repair shop has diagnosed problem as throttle body stuck open.although nobody was injured or killed in this incident, that doesn't make it any less serious.perhaps some day, toyota will fix these issues proactively.
Another toyota recall??? my new 2010 toyota tundra with 2,500 miles had a catastrophic engine failure while driving on the freeway (the engine blew out on the truck). I was driving on the freeway when i heard a loud bang. I pulled over and engine oil was dumping out of the engine onto the ground. I had the truck towed to stevinson west toyota - they took the engine apart and found multiple holes in the engine block. They are still not telling me the source of this engine failure. Toyota is telling me this is a one time occurrence, but i have been finding multiple problems with other tundra's (2007-2010), including a usa today article from 2007, "toyota fixing engine failures in new tundra trucks." and, while our truck has been in the shop, we spoke with another tundra owner (2009; in the same shop) who had a similar issue. Exact issues from some other tundra's online (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/tundra/186091-engine-blew-4k-miles/)!!!
I purchased on 2010 tundra double cab 4x4 with a 5.7 v-8 engine on august 1, 2010.on several occasions my 2010 tundra has shut down while being driven.the first serious safety problem occurred on 08/26/2010 (1,097 miles) while being driven about 10-15 mph.the check engine light came on and the 4x4 lo and rsca lights were flashing while power was lost/reduced to engine/tranmission.on 8/27/2010, the selling dealer checked the connections after receiving codes c1201 and p060a and claimed the vehicle was fixed.the second time was on 09/26/2010 (2,312 miles) i was driving 55-60 mph when the lights came on as before and i lost/reduced power to the engine/transmission almost causing an accident.this time the a local dealer verified that code p060a returned and claimed the cause was a bad ecm processor.they replaced the ecm processor claiming the vehicle was fixed.the third time was on october 31, 2010, (2,480 miles) the vehicle was parked and being warmed up when the check engine light came on.i drove the vehicle then to see if it had the same problem with power loss to the engine.again there was reduced power to the engine/transmission.notified toyota who had the vehicle towed in and they recovered code p1614.this time the dealer claimed the problem was the r&r air assembly stating this was the cause of the problem, replaced it and claimed they had fixed the problem.toyota corporation and my local dealership both have been informed of this serious safety problem with the engine shutting down while driving.on 11/9/2010, the arbitration the board related that "there have not been an unreasonable number of repairs for the same nonconformity."therefore, they denied my claim for a new vehicle.an engine shutting down/reduced power to the engine causing loss of control over the vehicle to me is a very serious safety problem.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While driving on the highway approximately 60 mph, the check engine light illuminated then the vehicle completely shut off. He was able to restart the vehicle with difficulty; however, it became difficult to accelerate. He was able to drive onto the emergency lane and noticed that two other lights besides the check engine light illuminated (he did not cite which lights). While driving to the dealer, he tried to engage the brake pedal in the parking lot and the vehicle did not respond until he depressed the brake pedal twice. The dealer told him that the fuel injector caused the failure to occur and later stated that it was the ecu. The dealer called him again and stated that one of the lifters in the engine was bent and they would order the parts. The vehicle was currently at the dealership at the time of the complaint. He called the manufacturer to ask for a new vehicle and a representative told him that it was up to the dealer. The current mileage was approximately 115. The failure mileage was approximately 100. Updated 3/10/10 the dealer found loss of compression and multiple cylinder misfires. They ran a compression test, and found cylinder #8 at zero. They removed the cylinder head and found an open bolt lodged in the valve holding it open. Updated 05/17/10
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While driving uphill 35 mph, the vehicle began to roll backwards and the engine stalled; it was able to be immediately restarted. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the failure was common but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been notified. The failure mileage was 18,000.
On oct 7,2010,we purchased a 2010 toyota tundra. Our vehicle is 2 months old and has already had a catastrophic engine failure. The vehicle has 2276 miles.while driving home from work my husband heard a loud bang.he pulled over and oil was gushing every where.he had it towed to the local toyota dealer.we were told the vehicle threw a rod and went into the bottom part of the engine, requiring a complete engine rebuild.has not been repair yet, awaiting parts. We were also told, there had been other vehicles with bad rods.the only thing toyota wants to offer me is a platinum warranty-8yrs,125,000 miles.i haven't decided yet because i would like to know if there have been similar cases such as ours.our local toyota service department has been pretty good considering we did not purchase the vehicle locally.
At approximately 11,000 miles my truck engine started running rough and would shut off on me while i was driving. The first incident occurred on april 16, 2010.it typically happens after my truck is warmed up - about an hour of driving. I have been stalled at traffic lights, on i-275, on sr 60 and almost stalled on some railroad tracks.i have taken my truck to various toyota dealers for repairs (depending on where i broke down). The service people have changed out the catalytic converters, fuel pump, oxygen sensors, cam-shaft sensors and computer hardware. My truck has been at the winter haven, fl toyota dealership for service since may 21, 2010 for repair.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle was equipped with a jack that would not raise the vehicle to a sufficient height when replacing tires. As a result, the contact would have to use a jack that did not come with the vehicle. An authorized dealer was notified and the contact was informed that the jack was not sufficient for the size of the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the vehicle and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 16,000.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the window sticker displayed that the payload capacity of the vehicle was 1640 lbs; however, the sticker on the doors displayed that the combined weight of the vehicle should not exceed 1380 lbs.the manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that they could not offer any assistance; however, he should not exceed a combined weight of 1380 lbs.the contact also stated that the original full sized spare tire wasa different brand equipped with tread wear that was different from the original tires on the vehicle.the owners manual indicated that the vehicle would not be safe to drive unless all four tires on the vehicle were the same. The manufacturer informed the contact that if he decided to keep the vehicle they would provide him with an identical full size spare tire. The failure mileage was 500 and the current mileage was 4,500.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the sticker located on the outside of the vehicle indicating the maximum weight load capacity was different from the weight capacity on the sticker affixed to the front interior door. The spare tire exhibited a different tread pattern than the four tires equipped on the vehicle. There were no failures at this time.

Body computer failed disabling the emergency flashers, turn signals, tach, speedometer, air bags, abs,stability control, and rendering the truck's controller area network (can-bus) network unusable for normal and emergency needs.engine would run, transmission would shift, but the safety features of the tundra appeared to be disabled along with the flashers, turn signals, tach, and speedometer which were inoperative.i live near houston and toyota has this part on backorder nationwide indicating this failure may be common with this and maybe other tundra trucks.when the body computer fails the truck is unsafe to drive yet it can be driven!
Toyota 2010 tundra 4.6l double cab vehicle.extremely sensative gas pedal.nearly impossible to accelerate from complete or slow rolling stop without lurching ahead quickly.nearly impossible to accelerate smoothly without wheel spin in wet or snow covered roads making this a safety hazzard.it is also a safety hazzard because i cannot back up or go forward safely in parking situations or parking lots.if there is anyone ahead or behind the truck - even for a considerable distance, i do not drive the truck because i cannot be sure it won't move ahead or behind uncontrolably.toyota dealer knows of this problem and i have notified toyota.dealer re-synked gas pedal to engine drive by wire components but problem still exists.i suspect it is a problem with the digital encoder on the gas pedal, the computer software in the ecu, and the stepper motor operating the throttle butterfly on the air intake.service manager at local dealer witnessed my driving the truck and symptoms, then drove the truck and experienced the symptoms.he offered no solution.the problem is not constant.sometimes it is extreme, other times it is less.but the gas pedal is always very sensitive.truck was acquired used with 6,700 miles on it and now has 8,000 miles of use.engine runs smoothly, starts quickly, gets rated gas mileage, and drives smoothly once in motion.
I have a 2010 toyota tundra that has about 10,000 miles on it. About two months ago i started noticing the truck will randomly have a sudden loss of power. It happens mainly when it has been sitting all day. It's kind of scary because when you are pulling out of a parking lot or making a left hand turn the truck will all of a sudden have no power and then it will jolt forward. I have not taken it to the dealer because no indicator lights are coming on and that's usually the only way they know how to fix problems. I have read a few forums that talk about this problem, one guy said he had his truck in and out of the dealer for 4 months and they basically ripped his whole truck apart. They finally came to the conclusion that the wire harness under the dash that goes to the fuel pump was loose and causing the problem. I called toyota and the dealer and they told me they have not had enough complaints yet but when they do they will probably come out with a fix. I haven't done much since mainly because i don't want the dealer wasting my time and taking my truck apart.
In march 2010, i purchased a new toyota tundra 2010 crewmax 5.7l truck fully loaded with navigation system, remote start, and guidepoint (lojack like) system from expressway toyota in dorchester, ma.the truck was supposedly manufactured in february 2010 and had the revised gas pedal. On march 23, the incident below occurred. Was driving to work from reading, ma to charlestown, ma (about 13 miles) on tuesday, march 23.it was a rainy day and traffic was heavy.i had the defroster and wipers on and was stuck in traffic on a busy main street about 10 miles into the trip.the car in front of me started to move forward slowly so i took my foot off the brake to also move forward slowly.that other car was about 10 feet in front of me.i barely touched the gas pedal when the truck took off at full acceleration. I got on the brake as heavy as i could and the truck fish tailed side to side.i quickly put it into neutral and then park while the truck was still revving at full acceleration.while it was in park and engine still going full speed i tapped the gas pedal with my foot and it released.i was very lucky i didn't crash into anything. I did smell a burning odor once i got the truck under control.i'm not sure if that was the tires, brake pads or something else.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While driving at 2 mph, the contact stated that the fuel rail split and causing gasoline fuel to leak onto the engine. The manufacturer advised having the vehicle towed to the dealer for further inspection and repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The current and failure mileages were 15,000.
The gas gauge is no longer giving accurate readings of how much gas is in the gas tank.the gas was at 1/4 of a tank and while i was driving it it completely died on me.when i tried to start it it wouldn't turn over the aaa guy said it sounded like the fuel pump might have gone out.i took it to my mechanic who said he just fixed the same problem but on a toyota sequoia which it ended up being the gas gauge not reading how much gas is actually in the tank.after inspection of my truck he said that the gas gauge was bad and needed to be replaced and it was the same issue the toyota sequoia had that he fixed . My truck is only 5 years old and only has 70,000 miles on it, it shouldn't be giving me these problems already.
I bought this truck new. It has 70,000 miles. The bed and bumpers have extensive rust holes, completely through. Last year, the gas tank fell out while driving due to rusted through fuel tank straps. Now, the rear axle has started leaking due to a rusted out rear axle housing.i am a 64 yr old vet and afraid to drive the truck. If i fill up the rear axle it will get on the road and tiresi have called and emailed toyota and they told me to fix it at my expense.
Toyota refused to honor a known issue, cause the tsb expired in march 2020. With the admission of a known problem they should honor and fix the problemtsb 01-60-11, air injection pump

Door locks will not lock.just unlock.even from inside of the truck you can not lock them.it has done this before.now its all the time.
I drove the vehicle aprox. 300 miles to laughlin ,i was in town backed out of a spot put it in drive the truck died it restarted and a little while later i noticed a check engine light ,i took to dealer and told it was the cam shaft sensor and that toyota is aware of the problem and when they figure it out they will contact me but as a friendly gesture they changed my oil ,right ,well its been almost a year and not a word.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While driving approximate 10 mph, the transmission began to slip with hesitation. The failure occurred whenever driving at low speeds intermittently . The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer numerous times for the similar failure. The technician stated the vehicle operated normally. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The vehicle had not been repaired and the failure persisted. The approximate failure mileage was 10. The vin was unavailable.

They finally came to the conclusion that the wire harness under the dash that goes to the fuel pump was loose and causing the problem. I called toyota and the dealer and they told me they have not had enough complaints yet but when they do they will probably come out with a fix. I haven't done much since mainly because i don't want the dealer wasting my time and taking my truck apart.
When at adead stop, sometimes the truck will lurch forward slightly as if hit from behind. It is very scary as i let both of my children borrow the vehicle at times. I have called the dealer and they say there is nothing on record of this type complaint. Has been happening for years but i finally found this sight to register my complaint.
Engine leaking oil while running at the cam towers on both sides causes oil to drip onto engine exhaust header. This unsafe condition could cause a fire. This condition happens to all 4.6 and 5.7 tundra and sequoia engines produced after 2007. This is an extremely expensive to repair. The manufacture made these engines with inferior sealant at the cam towers.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that there was an abnormal noise heard in the rear of the vehicle. The noise grew louder when the brakes or accelerator pedals were depressed. The dealer diagnosed that the rear drive train fractured and needed to be replaced. There were two manufacturer technical service bulletins regarding the issue; however, the vehicle was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 124,000.

A sudden acceleration of engine rpm was experienced with the transmission in park and the engine idling.without touching accelerator pedal, engine rpms increased to 3500 to 4000 for 8-10 seconds before returning to typical idling speedengine would not subsequently respond to depression of accelerator pedal. Toyota repair shop has diagnosed problem as throttle body stuck open.although nobody was injured or killed in this incident, that doesn't make it any less serious.perhaps some day, toyota will fix these issues proactively.
My tundra has 48048 miles on it.i took my tundra in for an oil change and was told there was a oil leak in the cam tower.the cost to fix it was $2850.it was no longer under warranty.i did a little searching and found that this is a problem that has occurred frequently in this engine.i contacted toyota and was told, after they consulted with the dealer, that the problem wasn't a defect, but caused by engine wear and altitude.they offered to pay for parts, which were $420.if it is really engine wear, i expect this to happen again.in talking to the dealer, i was told this is a one time fix, and it should not happen again.something isn't right here.either it is a defect in the engine and this repair will fix it.or it is normal wear and this will keep happening.i feel this is a problem that toyota should fix, since it seems to be happening frequently.many people reported it happening while it was under warranty.mine just happened to have occurred after the warranty expired.either way, it is not acceptable to have this happening in this engine with low mileage.apparently the oil leaks down from the engine onto the exhaust part of the vehicle and can cause fires.it also can leak out and cause engine damage if the oil gets too low.i hope you can help me.
Service bulletin tsb-0148-11 - drive shaft thumps when leaving a full stop- feels as though you were hit from behind.was told it is not a warranty issue but it's a defect that should be fixed!.paid good $$$$$ for truck and issues like this will make me think about the next vehicle i buy.
Excessive rusting on rear differential, leaf spring mounts and around rear hubs to wheels.
Drive shaft failure.car feels like it is being hit from behind.
I bought this truck new. It has 70,000 miles. The bed and bumpers have extensive rust holes, completely through. Last year, the gas tank fell out while driving due to rusted through fuel tank straps. Now, the rear axle has started leaking due to a rusted out rear axle housing.i am a 64 yr old vet and afraid to drive the truck. If i fill up the rear axle it will get on the road and tiresi have called and emailed toyota and they told me to fix it at my expense.
I was driving and both of my leaf springs snapped and everything came loose
While driving my tundra 4wd i notice a growling/howling coming from the front of the vehicle. It causes a vibration at speeds from 15-30 mph, it happens in 2wd and the howling is noticed mostly during acceleration and deceleration. I have taken the issue to the toyota dealer twice for the noise and they said it was normal and was told it was the tires i was using. I swapped tires with a friends truck and had the same issue. What i'm hoping is that it isn't something out of alignment in the front differential housing or axle. I would hate for it to come apart or lockup and put me and my family in an unsafe situation. I saw there was a service bulletin out for 2008 tundras for the same issue with steps to correct the problem. I haven't seen a service bulletin for 2010 tundras and want to know if it even exists. I hope this issue will get looked at because being told "that there is nothing wrong" at the dealership is getting frustrating. I can't believe a truck with now 28450 miles is having issues already. I hope this issue will be looked at in the future. Thank you.
Driveshaft broke at the rear yoke.metalergical failure.toyota has had many safety recalls for driveshaft failures,as of 12/27/2018 they have not had a recall on 2010 tundras.toyota clearly has an issue with their manufacture of driveshafts.never in my 43 years of driving have i ever had a driveshaft break.my wife was driving the truck when she noticed s serious vibration and pulled the truck to the side of the road on an off ramp to s highway.the driveshaft had broken and the truck had to be towed.i contacted toyota and they said my truck had no recall on the driveshaft despite all of their previous recalls for driveshaft problems
Vehicle was traveling in freeway and all of a sudden the a/t oil temp light came on and the vehicle stop right away. Engine and everything stop working. I think this is serious and too dangerous. Hope someone will investigate the issue.
One week after purchasing a 2010 toyota tundra crew max truck, i was at a complete stop at a stop light for at least a minute.i was the second car in line. Suddenly, unexpectedly, my truck lunged forward and hit the car in front of me. Damage was minimal to both cars but there was no reason for the car to move forward.i suspect itdue to the electronic accelerator problem associated with toyotas.this was not a floormat issue.i am now faced with a fine and loss of my 40 year safe driver status.
The contact owns 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated while driving at 55 mph, the drive shaft separated and fractured. The vehicle was towed but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra which was purchased in 2009. While driving at various speeds, as low as 10 mph, the vehicle would act as if it were in neutral and attempted to accelerate. The vehicle would come to a complete stop on its on and then proceed to move forward, throwing her violently back into her seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failures could not be duplicated. The dealer investigated further and stated that the failure was caused by a software malfunction and there was nothing they could do to repair the failure; therefore, they were releasing the vehicle to her. No repairs were made to the vehicle to correct the failures. The failure and current mileages were under 5,800.
While driving after braking the truck the vehicle developed a severe vibration throughout the truck. It felt like a loose wheel. After having it to the dealer on two occasions i discovered that the rear brakes had become somewhat frozen in the brake shoe bracket. The pad bracket is made from a metal that road salt blisters and it becomes very rough not letting the brake particularly the inner pad to retract. The shoe is difficult to remove from the bracket and the bracket has to be wired brushed and sanded so that thebrake pad can glide easily. Two of my sons also have toyota tundra trucks one is a 2010 and the other is a 2014 and have both experienced this same problem and they also had to remove the brakes and sand the bracket. This locking of the pad also ruins the pads causing premature wear and also ruins the inner surface of the rotor. This is dangerous because of the braking ability and the premature wear of the rotor and brake pads.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While driving 5 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to stop the vehicle without warning. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to parker toyota (470 w kathleen ave, coeur d'alene, id 83815, (208) 765-8228) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure was intermittent and only occurred at low speeds. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000. *pm *tp
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While driving approximately 35 mph, the contact stated there was an abnormal smell emitting from the vehicle and the brakes seized without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician stated that the vehicle was operating as designed. The failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the brakes, rotors, and the calipers needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 31,000.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact statedwhile driving 40 mph, the rear tires began making a grunting noise.the vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the brake booster was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacture was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 44,858.
My vehicle began to display the vsc (vehicle stability control) light, constantly on, last week when i turned it on.several days later the brake light and abs light also became constantly on.i decided to take it to the nearest toyota dealer and they stated that the vehicle is giving the following codes:c1203 - ecm communication circuitc1232 - deceleration sensorc1336 - zero point calibration of deceleration sensor undonethe service manager told me that they were going to try to re-flash the computer and calibrate affected items but if it wasn't possible that the sensor assembly, yaw sensor was bad and needed replacement, totaling $1305. 2 hours later he called me back to tell me that they couldn't re-flash the computer and that the issue is not the sensor assembly, yaw sensor but the abs actuator assembly, totaling over $2700.i'm reporting this since i've seen a bunch of similar cases but nothing concrete from toyota.i really don't know if this issue is un-safe or not since there are no physical symptoms except not having abs nor traction control.
In slow moving traffic, repetitive light gas and light braking. Noticed the brake becoming difficult to depress. Had my left foot stationary on the foot pad, right foot over the brake while rolling forward. Started to drop my right foot on brake as vehicle slowed in front of me and engine suddenly accelerated rapidly as if to full throttle. Pressed on the brake as hard as i could, engine redlined and rear tires started spinning. Popped it in neutral and within a second the engine stopped accelerating out of control. Floor mats were not interfering with any pedals on my immediate inspection after incident. Incident caught on dash/windshield camera.
Turned left at a green light then truck suddenly accelerated to approximately 70 mphcoming to a school zone with lights flashing and busy road ahead i seen parked bmw. The truck was new to me and had slap shifter so when i moved it for neutral it had to be pushed over and up. I just went over and with little time and busy intersection and children. I picked the bmw thought good crash rating. Slammed the over bmw and kept going til struck a power pole breaking it. There was witness behind me stated 'i was driving normal then suddenly accelerated and vier left.' i hit the bmw square with my arms protecting my face which is evident from pictures.

I purchased a 2010 toyota tundra new in july 2009.since that time, the gas pedal issue has been supposedly remedied twice and the floor mats have now been changed out.however, a new issue has begun recently with my vehicle in july 2010.when descending mountain highways, the truck begins to shudder when applying brakes.i do not ride my brakes going down these mountain highways and typically shift down to lower speed.i took my vehicle to the dealership for its quarterly maintenance and explained the issue.the service advisor said i would probably need a brake job and i replied that would be impossible as the vehicle has approximately 15k miles and i am not hard on brakes.i asked that they check the rotors as i thought they might be warped.after the service department checked the vehicle, they found a warped rotor and machined it back to tolerance.a week later, i am driving the same mountain highway when i discovered the issue and it is doing the same exact thing.i believe toyota has an issue with the brakes and need to be corrected.
The brake light and the traction control lights went on one morn. Later that evening the accelerator did not disengage.i applied my brakes, and could not stop my 2010 toyota tundra! when i eventually lost control to avoid a collision with other cars on the road. I crashed my truck into a tree and off road into a ditch a 100 yards from the road.
Brake pedal fades all the way to the floor when vehicle is stopped at a light or parked.can be repeated every time.dealer checked system and said there was no defect."normal operation"talked with toyota customer service and received same answer.
Front disc brake rotors warped causing front end shake under hard braking. Local dealer said there was no warranty as it was a gray area.
2010 toyota tundra crewmax, current mileage 16,752. For the last month or so while the vehicle is stopped, waiting for a light etc. With my foot on the brake pedal, the pedal will slowly go all the way down to the mat. The vehicle still remains braked, even when the pedal is all the way down. Release of the pedal and immediate reapplication of the brakes results in an initial normal pedal, followed by the pedal slowly going to the floor. When the engine is off and the brake pedal depressed, no matter how much force is applied, the brake pedal does not sink to the floor. So far this does not appear to have had any adverse effect on the normal braking. Took the truck in to the dealer, they test drove it, said they had it happen, but that toyota brakes were different and that they had another tundra in the shop which did the same thing. They also said that another tundra owner had complained of the same issue and the toyota rep had checked it out and declared it normal. They then told me there was a 2nd recall on the accelerator pedal and requested that they perform it. I agreed. Left the dealership with the paperwork stating "no problem found". I would assume it would be normal if the brake pedal went to the floor from day one, it didn't. I would presume the brake master cylinder is fine as the pedal is solid with the engine off. Maybe a seal leak within the abs block? no apparent brake fluid loss, the reservoir has not dropped.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact was braking from 30 mph when the brakes failed to engage. The contact proceeded to crash into the rear of another vehicle. The driver side air bag deployed yet the contact sustained injuries to the shoulder, back and right leg. The vehicle was towed to a garage. The contact's insurance company investigated the failure and determined it was caused by the floor mat becoming lodged between the brake pedal. The failure and current mileage was 3,500.
I have a 2010 toyota tundra, since the purchase note that speeds up when i come to a stop, or just when i'm with the brake pedal position, and to begin to correct single speeds, and he arranged a recall of the accelerator pedal, but even so i still have the problem a few weeks ago, almost hit with my truck, an immigration officer, when inspecting the truck, and my passport ... That scared me a lot.
When applying the brake at a stop, the brakepedal eases to the floor to the point it is nearly touching the floorboard. The truck has the tendency to lurch or ease forward. This is a serious issue as it has the potential to rear-end another vehicle while stopped or a pedestrian. I only have 3500 miles on my truck and it just started. It appears this is a common problem that is growing, but toyota refuses to address.
The 2000-2003 model year toyota tundras have a known brake engineering defect. The front brake calipers are too small causing routine overheating of thefront brake rotors. This condition warps the brake rotors and causes an unsafe and unpredictable brake response. Repeated re-surfacing or replacement of the rotors always results in the recurrence of the warpage due to the improperly sized front calipers. Toyota quietly issued a tsb in the early 2000's that mandated installation of larger calipers and replacement of other affected parts. This "fix" has not been common knowledge among affected consumers. This tsb not only acknowledges the original design flaw but contains specs and the specific remedy !
Front disc brake rotors warped causing front end shake under hard braking. Local dealer said there was no warranty as it was a gray area.
Toyota tundra 2010.vibration in gas pedal and steering wheel on acceleration or under load around 1800 rpm.dealer refuses to document the problem per "corporate policy."have owned two tundra's prior to the 2010 and did not experience this.i am concerned that there is a defect that toyota is not acknowledging.
Drove truck to go fishing on 05/30/2015 got home at 9.30 pm on 5/31/2015 got in truck no power steering rack pinion was leaking fluid all night so pump was dry looked up on internet found that toyota is having problems with rack pinion going out on lifted trucks i bought my truck with a dealer lift installed now is costing almost a $1000.00 to fix i am doing myself because there is no warranty toyota says not there problem i am just glad it did not happen as i was pulling my boat home would have caused a big accident
I was driving and both of my leaf springs snapped and everything came loose
The truck shakes really bad causing me to not be able to drive past 50 mph. Have had tires replaced, alignment done, and new brakes. Have also had tires balanced. Still shakes.
While turning, you hit a hard spot every half turn. When turning from an intersection the steering wheel has to be turned back to the center position due to a hard spot . Dealer stats rack is bad but can offer no reason as to why. Vehicles has 70,000 and had not had any events with teh front wheels to cause any damage to steering.
I just purchased a 2010 tundra two weeks ago.while on highway this truck shakes uncontrollably.it feels like it is bending in the middle between a cabin and a bed.while driving everyone in the truck keeps bouncing off the seat at times.if this was disclosed as "normal" as dealer says i would have never bought this truck.also i noticed scratches started appearing on my truck and it has on 500 miles on it especial around door handles.i am afraid to wash it.
Frame channel excessive rusting only affecting the frame.
7 year old truck with under 20k miles has major rust in the bed. I have not even had anyone look at it yet but the surface rust on the drivers side near rear of bed appears rusted down to frame or up from frame. It is about a 3x3 inch area. Same spot on passenger side has early stages of the samerust occurring. I had a toyota provided bed liner in the bed.
I bought this truck new. It has 70,000 miles. The bed and bumpers have extensive rust holes, completely through. Last year, the gas tank fell out while driving due to rusted through fuel tank straps. Now, the rear axle has started leaking due to a rusted out rear axle housing.i am a 64 yr old vet and afraid to drive the truck. If i fill up the rear axle it will get on the road and tiresi have called and emailed toyota and they told me to fix it at my expense.
The truck bed has rust coming from underneath
Frame is rusting. Rear bumper has holes through it. Truck only has 50,000 miles on it.
I have a 2010 crewmax with 79k miles. During a recent visit to a local body shop they noticed that the bed of the truck was rusting in four separate places where the cross members attach to the frame. A tsb was issued, obviously a known issue from toyota, but i never received via mail. The truck was serviced at local dealership but this issue was never checked. It has a factory installed toyota bedliner. When purchased, i had the undercoating applied with the expectation that this would prevent the rusting. However, since the rust begins from the bottom it is not easily identified. I have spoken with both the dealership and made a phone call to toyota corp to no avail. The dealership claims no responsibility and corporate is standing firm on the 5 year warranty. Very disheartening to spend that amount of money on a truck that has a known issue and the company will not back it up. I am fond of the vehicle but if it is remedied i will not recommend nor purchase another toyota for myself or my family.
Rust in truck bed coming from bolts that connect bed to frame. Huge amounts of rust. Bed connection points failing because of rust. Toyota has issued a service bulletin about the issue the bolts are causing the rust but did nothing about it while vehicle was under warranty. The truck came with a toyota drop in bed liner so i was never aware of the issue until i looked under the bed liner recently. The rust has been an issue for a long time because of the amount of rust present.i contacted toyota and the refuse to fix the issue.
I bought a 2010 toyota tundra new. I recently noticed significant rust in the bed of my truck. After some research i discovered that the rust is also in the frame of my truck. I have found that there are multiple cases of toyota trucks with this same issue. There have been recalls and class action lawsuits filed against toyota for this same problem.however my model and year are not included in these. I took the truck to toyota and they said yes this is a problem we know about however youre out of the 5 year warranty period and we will not cover the damage. The problem with the warranty period is that the start of the issue is completely hidden and there's no way to know you have a problem until it's too late and you're out of warranty. The frame of my truck is quite rusted and will cause safety issues in the near future. There are two distinct rust spots in the bed where the frame attaches to it. The one spot which is worse actually has a hole in the metal bottom of the bed. I can't get pictures of the frame of the truck but i did include pictures of the two rust spots in the bottom of the bed. The two spots are located toward the cab and are in the same spot of the bed but on opposite sides. I live in a very dry climate so flooding and humidity are not the cause of this rust. You can tell from the location of the spots that this is a manufacturer defect.
The truck tailgate was noticed to have paint bubbling toward the bottom on the tailgate. Further inspection shows moderate rust on the inner lip of the bottom of the tailgate where two panels come together, and is noticable when it is in a lowered position. After calling toyota corporate national customer service line and notifying them of the issue, i was asked if rust was on the frame. Further more, i was told there is no program they have to help with such an issue. I had not had the ability to inspect the frame and undercarriage at the time of the call, but upon ending of the call, was able to havea look at it. There is considerable rust on seems of the frame welds throughout the bottom and other areas.
My truck's bed has rusted completely through in one spot. Toyota has issued a tsb for this (tsb-0101-12) but refuses to comply. They claim that my truck's vin does not follow in the recognized range and that the rust warranty has expired. This was discovered when the truck was 6.5 years old. It took so long because there is a spray-in bedliner that covered the damage. This occurs from underneath the truck and perforates completely through. Toyota's solution is to deal with it. My claim was denied and in their own words: 'the decision has been reviewed and will not change.' so much for ever buying another toyota again.
We noticed that shine on the paint faded right away and we contacted toyota body shop and was told that there were many complaints and that there was defective paint work on this model .they contacted toyota headquarters and we were told by them that toyota was fixing them . However toyota refused to fix ours.. Paint looks terrible and the shine is all gone.
Was struck side struck by a vehicle running a red light.my head struck the drivers side window, transported by fire & rescue to local hospital.hospital diagnosis was a "closed wound concussion".other driver was charged on multiple counts.mechanics that repaired my truck estimate the vehicle that hit me was travelling 40-45mph. My airbags did not deploy.impact area on my truck was front driver side quarter panel and front left tire.have viewed a side impact crash test for my make, model and year. In that test the airbags did deploy and the driver dummy hit head in exact location as i did.i would assume the crash test dummy would not have received a concussion due to the protection from the side airbag deployment. One of the reasons for my purchase of this vehicle was the safety aspect.the manufacturer marketed the airbag system as a key selling point.i did have my seat belt on at the time of the crash.i can provide police accident report, photos of both vehicles, repair detail for my truck and personal damage.
The truck bounces real bad on some concrete roads at about 65 mph to the point i have to slow down or change lanes to get it to stop. On the same roads i can not hold the gas pedal steady its revving the engine up on every bounce i think the recall made the peddle to sensitive on rough roads.
Driving on the east 118 going on the 3rd lane just before desoto ave. The truck starts to bounce violently.i was traveling at about 65 mph and moved to the number 4 lane, same thing--bed bounce was violent for about 2 miles.this is very dangerous because it felt like i had very limited control of the truck while bouncing.i haven't had a chance to look at the bed or the back of the cab to see if either was affected.this is not how a normal vehicle should operate.
I was driving and both of my leaf springs snapped and everything came loose
I have a 2000 tundra 4 x 4 i was driving to the store when my right front ball joints broke and i slid about 40 yards the front tire ended up under the front end damage to my fender and bumper as well. If this would have happen on the fwy i would had been dead.
2 of 3 leaf spring on driver's side broke in half and 1 of 3 on passenger side broke in half.unsure of actual time of failure but one spring broke off as i was stopping at a stop light on a city street.
I noticed a rattling coming from the rear end of the vehicle while driving. I stopped to investigate and found a broken leaf spring rubbing against the rear passenger side tire. There was damage to the inside of the tire. Had i been on the highway it may have cause the tire to pop. There are multiple posts detailing the same break of the leaf spring and the resulting tire damage on the internet.
I heard metal rattle as i rode over sewer covers / bumps on the road. The dealer inspected the vehicle and found that the driver's side leaf spring was completely rotted through and broken. I was the only driver of the truck & purchased it brand new. It was used as a passenger vehicle and it had never towed more than a pop-up camper & it had never been used to carry anything heavier than hockey bags and groceries. The truck had 66,000 miles on it when the spring broke. It was necessary to replace the leaf spring due to the fact that had i been hit the gas tank could have punctured & exploded. Toyota would not cover the cost because i was over 36,000 miles.
I was driving the the road on a city street when i heard a rattling sound. I checked under the truck to see what the noise was. The left rear leaf spring was broken which could have gone into the tire possibly creating a situation or an accident. I am unsure what may have caused this. I did not hit any pot holes or large bumps in the road. I checked with the local toyota dealership. They want over $900 for a new leaf spring assembly, this does not include labor. I have never had a leaf spring break in the 1997 gmc 1500k pickup truck i previously owned for 16 years. I have read other similar toyota tundra leaf spring break reports on the internet. I think toyota should fix this without charge. I have approximately 88,000 miles on the tundra.
Faulty passenger side rear leaf spring. Busted in half and twisted resulting in bouncing off many under neath parts as well as possible interference with tire. Resulting damage seems to be directly inline with the tacoma recall that isn't being fixed on the tundras.

Both rear leaf springs broke unloaded normal driving
In sept. 2014toyota motor sales, u.s.a., inc. Voluntary recalled 2005-2011 tacoma 4x4 and tacoma pre-runner pickup trucks for leaf springs that could fracture due to stress and corrosion.in the middle of july 2015 the driver side leaf spring in our 2010 tundra fractured resulting in $1,611.41 in repairs.due to the defect our mechanic recommended both leaf springs to be replaced as there would be uneven stability and the remaining leaf spring could fracture in the near future.
Passenger rear leaf spring broke for no reason, not towing loose piece then flips around hitting surrounding structures and wheels potentially causing an accident
The passenger rear leaf spring broke, and i believe could be a safety hazard on the road or into the tire of the vehicle. I noticed it via noise, and took action before anything bad happened.
I went to load the bed with some furniture and saw a bolt protruding through the bed of the truck. Upon further investigation found the right rear shock absorber broke loose from the top connection and went through the truck bed. After taking to the dealer they found the top connecting nuts/bolt on the left rear was also missing. We are now in a fight over who pays. I bought the truck as a used certified toyota tundra on 2 april, this happened on 7 april 2011. They contend someone tried to steel my shocks so it's not their's to pay. I contend they'd have to go past $3k worth of aftermarket tires and wheels to take the shocks...i don't thing a smart thief would do that. Additionally, if both shocks were missing the top connection items it makes sense to me that they were never installed in the manufacturing process as they don't 'back themselves' out. They were never there or someone took them off and it wasn't me! as a minium someone missed this on the certified inspection check list. Let me know if you want the final outcome and the dealers name!
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds, a loud rattling noise was heard coming from the rear driver side tire. The contact examined the vehicle and noticed that the lead spring had fractured. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle leans to the left. The vehicle was taking to corwin toyota of fargo (222 40th st s, fargo, nd 58103, (701) 282-8425) where the contact was informed that the vehicle did not fall under any recall pertaining to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.
Was struck side struck by a vehicle running a red light.my head struck the drivers side window, transported by fire & rescue to local hospital.hospital diagnosis was a "closed wound concussion".other driver was charged on multiple counts.mechanics that repaired my truck estimate the vehicle that hit me was travelling 40-45mph. My airbags did not deploy.impact area on my truck was front driver side quarter panel and front left tire.have viewed a side impact crash test for my make, model and year. In that test the airbags did deploy and the driver dummy hit head in exact location as i did.i would assume the crash test dummy would not have received a concussion due to the protection from the side airbag deployment. One of the reasons for my purchase of this vehicle was the safety aspect.the manufacturer marketed the airbag system as a key selling point.i did have my seat belt on at the time of the crash.i can provide police accident report, photos of both vehicles, repair detail for my truck and personal damage.
Leaf springs have broken, each spring has a man leaf with two additional springs, both additional springs have broken under normal use of the vehicle, only one spring remains on each side. The vehicle is parked and undrivable, last week when i heard it, i though it was just a rock kicking up under the frame, but when i stopped to investigate i noticed my truck sitting low to the ground and the springs were broken. If one more spring on either side breaks, it could puncture the fuel tank and will put the vehicle frame on the axle. At highway speeds this would casue a major accident most likely involving death. I had my daughter in the truck at 35 mph when this happened last week, thank god it didn't turn into a fatality. I request an investigation of the manufacturer defect in the springs, the broken halfs of the springs still remain intact and can be examined for default.the first incidences happened in the past, where i was unable to know how and what the circumstances were. The last incident did however happen last week and bare metal can be seen at the break in the uploaded photo. No weight was in the truck at the time.
I was driving the vehicle and could hear a metal on metal grinding noise, heavy metal rattle& occasional squealing noise when i would drive over sewer covers or small bumps on the road. I made an appointment at the dealership to diagnose & was told that the driver's side leaf spring was broken & needed to be replaced. The vehicle is used as a passenger vehicle. The heaviest camper it towed was approximately 3000 pounds. The truck was rated for an 8300 pound tow capacity. Upon inspection it appeared that the leaf spring had extreme rust through & through. None of the techs at the dealership had ever seen a 3.3 year old truck present with this problem. Toyota usa declined reimbursement for the repair ($970).
During state vehicle inspection, it was found that both left & right leaf springs were broken with pieces easily removed by dealer.dealer service person stated that they have seen a few of these come in lately.i have not loaded the truck bed at all nor have i towed anything near capacity. I have a small outboard boat and have not even used that yet this year.i did had banging noisefor past month but thought it was the trailer hitch.
The truck bounces real bad on some concrete roads at about 65 mph to the point i have to slow down or change lanes to get it to stop. On the same roads i can not hold the gas pedal steady its revving the engine up on every bounce i think the recall made the peddle to sensitive on rough roads.
The truck tailgate was noticed to have paint bubbling toward the bottom on the tailgate. Further inspection shows moderate rust on the inner lip of the bottom of the tailgate where two panels come together, and is noticable when it is in a lowered position. After calling toyota corporate national customer service line and notifying them of the issue, i was asked if rust was on the frame. Further more, i was told there is no program they have to help with such an issue. I had not had the ability to inspect the frame and undercarriage at the time of the call, but upon ending of the call, was able to havea look at it. There is considerable rust on seems of the frame welds throughout the bottom and other areas.
Rear leaf springs.rear leaf spring broken-appears to have just broke.do minor towing maybe 4000 lbs a few times a years.vehicle has 88,000 miles on it.i have never had a leaf spring break.this is definitely a material flaw.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that there was an abnormal noise heard in the rear of the vehicle. The noise grew louder when the brakes or accelerator pedals were depressed. The dealer diagnosed that the rear drive train fractured and needed to be replaced. There were two manufacturer technical service bulletins regarding the issue; however, the vehicle was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 124,000. Updated 02/03/17*lj updated 09/07/2017
One of the leafs in the rear passenger side leaf spring broke and slid against the tire rim while driving on a city street. The piece of leaf spring "could" have jammed in my rim and caused an accident or damage or fallen off causing a problem for drivers following me.i have spoken to several other toyota tundra owners and they have had the same problem with cracked / broken rear leaf springs.i have to assume this is a common occurrence since i was unable to purchase new leaf springs from toyota in a timely fashion because the had a large back order on leaf springs for my model.
The truck shakes really bad causing me to not be able to drive past 50 mph. Have had tires replaced, alignment done, and new brakes. Have also had tires balanced. Still shakes.
Driving on i-80 the front end and steering wheel shook hard, took it to toyota to look at it could find nothing wrong.it is shaking less but still shaking.had to get out of truck to see if i had a flat or wheel was falling off that's how hard it shook.

At 25000 miles the tires needed to be replaced on my 2010 toyota tunrda due to poor outside wear. I rotate and monitor my tire pressre regulaly. The dealer checked the suspension and said there was not issue with it, yet they replaced the rack steering at 27000 miles. I have since replaced the tires and had the vehicle aligned and they are alreary worn out again with 10000 miles on them. Any newer tundra i see on the road seems to have the same issue with various tire brands high end or not. Ie michelin, toyo, bridgestone.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the window sticker displayed that the payload capacity of the vehicle was 1640 lbs; however, the sticker on the doors displayed that the combined weight of the vehicle should not exceed 1380 lbs.the manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that they could not offer any assistance; however, he should not exceed a combined weight of 1380 lbs.the contact also stated that the original full sized spare tire wasa different brand equipped with tread wear that was different from the original tires on the vehicle.the owners manual indicated that the vehicle would not be safe to drive unless all four tires on the vehicle were the same. The manufacturer informed the contact that if he decided to keep the vehicle they would provide him with an identical full size spare tire. The failure mileage was 500 and the current mileage was 4,500.

I have encountered on three different occasions the sensored tire valves failing and leaking. I reported the first to toyota and the dealership replaced the faulty valve. Approximately 2 months later i had a second valve fail and again had it replaced at a toyota dealership. On june 25, 2012 i again had a valve failure and contacted the toyota customer care center thinking i had a design problem as three of the four valves failed within 6 months. I was told that they would replace any valve deemed defective but not replace all four as i requested. My concern is that with these valves a failure could occur at any time and at highway speeds this could be tragic. I am asking that this agency look into the valve design and failure rate to determine if the public safety is at risk. I have replaced all the valves with standard rubber valves making my pressure monitoring system inoperable. Toyota will make no attempt to rectify this situation to my satisfaction and i am truly concerned that a potential problem truly exists. I am sure that my pickup truck is not the only one with this type of failure rate.

Toyota recall.i bought my 2010 toyota tundra in oct. Of 2009 and still have not received any information from toyota about the recall.i have learned through the web my toyota is in fact recalled for two different problem but have yet to hear anything official.
I was pulling out on road when all of a sudden my truck lit up and could barely get the truck to move out of the way from being rear ended.i took it to toyota, said my aip pump is bad, 2150.00 to fix, toyota should repair for free before i die driving it
I bought a 2010 toyota tundra new. I recently noticed significant rust in the bed of my truck. After some research i discovered that the rust is also in the frame of my truck. I have found that there are multiple cases of toyota trucks with this same issue. There have been recalls and class action lawsuits filed against toyota for this same problem.however my model and year are not included in these. I took the truck to toyota and they said yes this is a problem we know about however youre out of the 5 year warranty period and we will not cover the damage. The problem with the warranty period is that the start of the issue is completely hidden and there's no way to know you have a problem until it's too late and you're out of warranty. The frame of my truck is quite rusted and will cause safety issues in the near future. There are two distinct rust spots in the bed where the frame attaches to it. The one spot which is worse actually has a hole in the metal bottom of the bed. I can't get pictures of the frame of the truck but i did include pictures of the two rust spots in the bottom of the bed. The two spots are located toward the cab and are in the same spot of the bed but on opposite sides. I live in a very dry climate so flooding and humidity are not the cause of this rust. You can tell from the location of the spots that this is a manufacturer defect.

I purchased on 2010 tundra double cab 4x4 with a 5.7 v-8 engine on august 1, 2010.on several occasions my 2010 tundra has shut down while being driven.the first serious safety problem occurred on 08/26/2010 (1,097 miles) while being driven about 10-15 mph.the check engine light came on and the 4x4 lo and rsca lights were flashing while power was lost/reduced to engine/tranmission.on 8/27/2010, the selling dealer checked the connections after receiving codes c1201 and p060a and claimed the vehicle was fixed.the second time was on 09/26/2010 (2,312 miles) i was driving 55-60 mph when the lights came on as before and i lost/reduced power to the engine/transmission almost causing an accident.this time the a local dealer verified that code p060a returned and claimed the cause was a bad ecm processor.they replaced the ecm processor claiming the vehicle was fixed.the third time was on october 31, 2010, (2,480 miles) the vehicle was parked and being warmed up when the check engine light came on.i drove the vehicle then to see if it had the same problem with power loss to the engine.again there was reduced power to the engine/transmission.notified toyota who had the vehicle towed in and they recovered code p1614.this time the dealer claimed the problem was the r&r air assembly stating this was the cause of the problem, replaced it and claimed they had fixed the problem.toyota corporation and my local dealership both have been informed of this serious safety problem with the engine shutting down while driving.on 11/9/2010, the arbitration the board related that "there have not been an unreasonable number of repairs for the same nonconformity."therefore, they denied my claim for a new vehicle.an engine shutting down/reduced power to the engine causing loss of control over the vehicle to me is a very serious safety problem.
There is an electrical problem that the right light bulb keeps going on and off unexpectedly. In addition, the bottom of the car has lots of rust, the tire pressure sensor is not working properly.

Turned left at a green light then truck suddenly accelerated to approximately 70 mphcoming to a school zone with lights flashing and busy road ahead i seen parked bmw. The truck was new to me and had slap shifter so when i moved it for neutral it had to be pushed over and up. I just went over and with little time and busy intersection and children. I picked the bmw thought good crash rating. Slammed the over bmw and kept going til struck a power pole breaking it. There was witness behind me stated 'i was driving normal then suddenly accelerated and vier left.' i hit the bmw square with my arms protecting my face which is evident from pictures.

Problem with cruise control not disengaging properly when tapping the brake. The brake must be pressed to the point of actual braking for the cruise control to disengage.there have been several times when while trying to disengage by pressing the brake the engine started to rev up as if i was also pressing the gas pedal.the most reliable was to disengage the cruise control is the control on the side of the steering wheel (main cruise control on my truck).will be taking the truck to the dealer this week.
Toyota tundra 2010.vibration in gas pedal and steering wheel on acceleration or under load around 1800 rpm.dealer refuses to document the problem per "corporate policy."have owned two tundra's prior to the 2010 and did not experience this.i am concerned that there is a defect that toyota is not acknowledging.
Hi, i'm not sure how to address this but i think someone should know. This complaint is somewhat on behalf of a chp officer and family that died and the many others out there like myself, friends and family that have toyotas. I test cars for the california smog check program. I have tested thousands of vehicles both by driving them on a sensitive dynamometer at various speeds and in place at different motor rpms.when toyota changed to an electronic throttle controlon their vehicles it became very noticeable during the smog tests as the vehicle acceleration and control was more sloppy than the previous direct cable method. I worried about this because with no direct linkage and only sensors to interpret your intended acceleration, it could lead to tragic results without proper fail-safes installed. One necessary fail-safe is when you press on the brakes the engine needs to slow to prevent potentially overriding the brakes or create excessive stopping distances. This would prevent many accidents. It is well known in the automotive repair industry that voltage problems, electrical ground problems, or a malfunctioning main computer or poorly written code, will cause other sensors to behave erratically even if the specific affected sensor is not damaged. Vehicle sensors have problems now and then along with corrupted information being sent to those sensors resulting in unintended results. The sensors / linkage involved in toyota's electronic throttle control are not immune to these problems as toyota suggests. A mandatory fail-safe needs to be adopted on toyotas to override a potentially faulty electronic throttle. Acceleration complaints have risen sharply since the new throttle system was installed. The difficulty with testing a sensor system is that often it can appear to be functioning fine until the moment it misbehaves or it can act normal while good information is received and then with corrupted information it behaves apart from driver's intentions.
I have a 2008 tundra and had my gas pedal "fixed".my gas pedal is now extremely sensitive and i find difficult to accelerate safely.i have issues when accelerating from a stop, as i hit any sort of bump or hole i find myself "revving" the engine as my pedal is too sensitive and how i describe as loose.this is very annoying and find it to be an unacceptable fix!!!
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. Upon taking the vehicle into the dealer for routine maintenance, she was advised that there was an open recall on the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired accordingly per nhtsa campaign id number 10v017000, vehicle speed control, accelerator pedal. A few days later, while attempting to drive in reverse, the vehicle accelerated backwards and preceded to crash into a tree. There was minor damage to the front bumper. The manufacturer stated that the failure was potentially due to driver error and that he possibly had depressed the accelerator pedal instead of the brakes. The contact was concerned with operating an unsafe vehicle as it was her only means of transportation. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000 and the current mileage was 2,100.
-the contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact was driving approximately 60 mph and then brought the vehicle to a complete stop. Upon acceleration, the vehicle lunged forward. The failure occurrence was sporadic. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 14. The current mileage was 5,672.
A sudden acceleration of engine rpm was experienced with the transmission in park and the engine idling.without touching accelerator pedal, engine rpms increased to 3500 to 4000 for 8-10 seconds before returning to typical idling speedengine would not subsequently respond to depression of accelerator pedal. Toyota repair shop has diagnosed problem as throttle body stuck open.although nobody was injured or killed in this incident, that doesn't make it any less serious.perhaps some day, toyota will fix these issues proactively.
I have made a report on this before but it occurred again today 4/8/2010.i have a toyota tundra 2010 which accelerates on its own when i start it, up to 4500-5000 rpm's . It will rev up 3-4 times and then bog down and die, i then start it up again and it is like nothing ever happened. It has never occurred while the vehicle is moving always in park when i first start it up. It has been in the shop 2 times each time for a week and they say that because they can not duplicate the problem there is no way for them to fix the problem if there is one. Am i a liar like everyone who owns a toyota?
The contact has a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle idles high when sitting at a stoplight.

I have a 2010 toyota tundra that has about 10,000 miles on it. About two months ago i started noticing the truck will randomly have a sudden loss of power. It happens mainly when it has been sitting all day. It's kind of scary because when you are pulling out of a parking lot or making a left hand turn the truck will all of a sudden have no power and then it will jolt forward. I have not taken it to the dealer because no indicator lights are coming on and that's usually the only way they know how to fix problems. I have read a few forums that talk about this problem, one guy said he had his truck in and out of the dealer for 4 months and they basically ripped his whole truck apart. They finally came to the conclusion that the wire harness under the dash that goes to the fuel pump was loose and causing the problem. I called toyota and the dealer and they told me they have not had enough complaints yet but when they do they will probably come out with a fix. I haven't done much since mainly because i don't want the dealer wasting my time and taking my truck apart.
In slow moving traffic, repetitive light gas and light braking. Noticed the brake becoming difficult to depress. Had my left foot stationary on the foot pad, right foot over the brake while rolling forward. Started to drop my right foot on brake as vehicle slowed in front of me and engine suddenly accelerated rapidly as if to full throttle. Pressed on the brake as hard as i could, engine redlined and rear tires started spinning. Popped it in neutral and within a second the engine stopped accelerating out of control. Floor mats were not interfering with any pedals on my immediate inspection after incident. Incident caught on dash/windshield camera.
I have 2010 toyota tundra that has had a sudden acceleration.i was driving down the highway with the cruise set at around 73mph.i had to hit the brake, when i hit the cruise to reinstate the cruise the truck seamed like it went full trouble.my foot was never on the gas and the truck accelerated to over 90 before i canceled the curse control.this has happened only once.
2010 toyota tundra acceleration when trying to brake. The tundra could not stop and hit a 2000 buick which had struck a parked car and catapulted across the lane in front of tundra (buick and tundra going in opposite directions).
In march 2010, i purchased a new toyota tundra 2010 crewmax 5.7l truck fully loaded with navigation system, remote start, and guidepoint (lojack like) system from expressway toyota in dorchester, ma.the truck was supposedly manufactured in february 2010 and had the revised gas pedal. On march 23, the incident below occurred. Was driving to work from reading, ma to charlestown, ma (about 13 miles) on tuesday, march 23.it was a rainy day and traffic was heavy.i had the defroster and wipers on and was stuck in traffic on a busy main street about 10 miles into the trip.the car in front of me started to move forward slowly so i took my foot off the brake to also move forward slowly.that other car was about 10 feet in front of me.i barely touched the gas pedal when the truck took off at full acceleration. I got on the brake as heavy as i could and the truck fish tailed side to side.i quickly put it into neutral and then park while the truck was still revving at full acceleration.while it was in park and engine still going full speed i tapped the gas pedal with my foot and it released.i was very lucky i didn't crash into anything. I did smell a burning odor once i got the truck under control.i'm not sure if that was the tires, brake pads or something else.
I have a 2010 toyota tundra, since the purchase note that speeds up when i come to a stop, or just when i'm with the brake pedal position, and to begin to correct single speeds, and he arranged a recall of the accelerator pedal, but even so i still have the problem a few weeks ago, almost hit with my truck, an immigration officer, when inspecting the truck, and my passport ... That scared me a lot.
Within a year or two of purchasing this 2010 toyota tundra i noticed erratic and unpredictable acceleration characteristics when accelerating to pass and when the cruise control was engaged going up hills. The speed would increase more than necessary to accomplish the task. I decided this behavior was a personality trait of the tundra as it never caused an unsafe situation to occur. Over the last two years i have noticed a hesitation of acceleration from stopped. I can depress the accelerator pedal and the engine sounds like it wants to go but acceleration is very lethargic. Response to accelerator pedal depression is unpredictable in that at intermittent times it just does not cause much acceleration. The tendency is to then press further down on the accelerator pedal and then the truck will eventually take off rather fast. I have not yet visited my toyota dealership about this but i do intend to. I believe that the acceleration issue in the toyota tundra is perplexing and dangerous. Somebody is going to be seriously hurt because of it. I am amazed that toyota has not been held accountable. I am skeptical about toyota's ability or interest in fixing the problem.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. While the contact's husband was driving 5 mph, the vehicle accelerated on its own without depressing the accelerator pedal. The driver depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle kept moving forward. The driver had to apply the emergency brake and shift into park to stop the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The driver had to detach the battery to reset the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to toyota of hollywood (located at 1841 fl-7, hollywood, fl 33021, (866) 332-6839) where it was repaired per nhtsa campaign numbers: 09v388000 (vehicle speed control), 15v689000 (visibility), and another unknown recall. The contact stated that the failure recurred after leaving the dealer. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer on december 30, 2019 and was informed that the mechanic forgot to reset the software. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 75,605.
I was traveling north on interstate 65 from birmingham, al to franklin, tn. My cruise control was engaged and was traveling at 70 mph and i had to disengage the cruise control because of traffic.the button popped out and the cruise control was still engaged. In order to disengage the cruise control i had to tap the brake pedal. If the cars that i was traveling along side and in front of me had stopped it would have caused a accident. Needless to say the brake disengaged the cruise control.
Takata recall,gas pedel acceleration aggression in motion
6-8 weeks after i bought my truck i started having acceleration problems with my truck a 2010 tundra. It has never accelerated while moving it has done it in park every time when i get in and start the truck. It accelerates to 4-5000 rpm's and bogs down it does 3-4 times then it bogs down and dies. I have taken my truck in 3 times and they ( toyota of lewisville) have kept it twice and could never duplicate the problem so they claim that they could not find the problem, and that there was no trouble codes to follow up on. This incident has occurred about 8 or 9 times and i am really worried that it will someday happen while i am driving. I don't ever know when it is going to happen it just happens when i get in and start the truck whether it is hot or cold. The dealership has kept my truck twice for a week each time and has done nothing to correct the failure because they say that they can not find the problem. What can i do about this matter, i have a truck that my wife will not ride in and that it is worth nothing in a trade in. I drive it with fear of it taking off on me someday.
-the contact owns a 2010 toyota tundra. The contact was driving approximately 5 mph into a parking space. The gear selector was shifted from drive into the park position. Immediately, the vehicle accelerated over 50 mph. The brake pedal was engaged with great force and the vehicle surged 3 inches striking the curbside. The gear was shifted into park and the engine turned off. The contact sustained minor injury to the knee.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The technician informed that the vehicle required further diagnostic testing with the replacement of the accelerator pedal. The failure mileage was 6,162. The current mileage was 6,240.

Air bags (manufacture unknown)on sept 29, 2018 while driving on a two lane highway at 50 mph, my steering wheel and knee bags inflated for no reason. I applied the brakes and lost sight of the road for several seconds because of the fog on the windshield. When the fog cleared, i could see that i was going to end up in a field and that i had crossed the center line. I tried to back out of the field but could not because of the muddy conditions. I called my wife, told her the air bags had inflated for no reason. I asked her to call aaa for a tow truck. While speaking to her, a man walked up to ask if i was okay. I said yes. He then asked if i realized i had hit an oncoming vehicle. I was not. I had not seen any other vehicle because of the "fog" from the air bag.i asked him what vehicle and he pointed to a man in a red shirt standing in front of a white pickup with duel rear wheels. I told my wife i needed to go see if anyone was injured, got out of my truck and walked back to the other truck.no one was injured in the accident. I was told by my insurance adjuster that there was approximately $7,000 damage to the other truck. My vehicle was totaled.

Was struck side struck by a vehicle running a red light.my head struck the drivers side window, transported by fire & rescue to local hospital.hospital diagnosis was a "closed wound concussion".other driver was charged on multiple counts.mechanics that repaired my truck estimate the vehicle that hit me was travelling 40-45mph. My airbags did not deploy.impact area on my truck was front driver side quarter panel and front left tire.have viewed a side impact crash test for my make, model and year. In that test the airbags did deploy and the driver dummy hit head in exact location as i did.i would assume the crash test dummy would not have received a concussion due to the protection from the side airbag deployment. One of the reasons for my purchase of this vehicle was the safety aspect.the manufacturer marketed the airbag system as a key selling point.i did have my seat belt on at the time of the crash.i can provide police accident report, photos of both vehicles, repair detail for my truck and personal damage.

Truck needs its 3rd set of tires at 50k miles - always wear on outside most severely but across as well - bridgestone duelers (on new truck from dealer) - replaced by firestone set that wore the same - rotated, balanced and alignment checked on-schedule and no alignment problems noted - by 10k tires look like they need changed
Just recently i have noticed a very weird sound from the front left wheel area. I had the local dealer in twin falls idaho look into and found nothing, they said brakes were good, and they had greased everything. So after my service i figured it would go away and it didn't. I've also put new tires on for the winter since this weird rubbing sound has started and it's still making the sound. I'm not sure if just the service guy knows what he is looking for, but there is definitely something not right with the front left wheel area. I'm not sure what else i can do or should do. The truck currently has 51000 miles on it.
