Horn does not work when a road hazard was presented attempted to utilize horn nothing happened when i took to toyota they said it is the wiring harness from the airbag around the steering column and is not covered under warranty and is not a recall but when i look up online many people for years have had issues with this problem was sent away driving my vehicle which i believe to be unsafe as if i don't have airbags or a horn not sure that my vehicle is legal to be driven at this point i feel that since these are safety issues they should be recalls as it has happened to many people i have only owned my truck since december i picked it up at the very end of december 2019.

The contact owned a 2013 toyota tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, another vehicle had run a red light and crashed into the front grill assembly of the contact's vehicle then the other vehicle spun and crashed into the driver side of the contact's vehicle. The contact's front driver seat moved inadvertently towards the steering wheel but the seat belt did not prevent the contact's neck, chest, and stomach from slamming into the steering wheel. The contact heard a loud bang and the air bags deployed, filling the inside of the vehicle with a powder substance. The contact and passenger were transported to the hospital by ambulance with injuries sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a towing yard and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened but the manufacturer informed the contact that there was no recall for the air bags associated with the vin. The failure mileage was 72,120. Consumer stated driver airbag exploded before it could inflate. Driver was injured.
On 08/22/14, i had been to the local toyota dealership to have my oil changed.i asked them to look at the brakes because there was a terrible vibration and the brakes have not stopped well since i bought the truck.they said the truck needed new brakes, rotors and pads all the way around.i was supposed to take it back on 08/29/14. On 08/28/14 while driving on a clear road with no rain or clouds i went to stop and i pushed the brakes to the floor with both feet and the truck did not stop and i hit another car.i have filed a complaint with toyota and they finally ordered an inspector to get the black box from my truck.he has not called to schedule this and it is 3 weeks later.i have left message after message.i believe the brakes are faulty with the truck.there is no reason at 9000 miles on a new truck that it should need new brakes, rotors and pad all the way around.now i am waiting on engineering analysis association to contact me to set up an inspection of my truck.no one is willing to help me get information, not toyota and not eaa.
Horn does not work when a road hazard was presented attempted to utilize horn nothing happened when i took to toyota they said it is the wiring harness from the airbag around the steering column and is not covered under warranty and is not a recall but when i look up online many people for years have had issues with this problem was sent away driving my vehicle which i believe to be unsafe as if i don't have airbags or a horn not sure that my vehicle is legal to be driven at this point i feel that since these are safety issues they should be recalls as it has happened to many people i have only owned my truck since december i picked it up at the very end of december 2019.
The contact owns a 2013 toyota tundra. While driving at approximately 60 mph, there were flames coming from the fuel lines, the engine compartment, and under the vehicle near the rear windows. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries reported. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
On two different occasions i was driving my tundra on the freeway at approx. 70 mph. My truck lost power and i almost caused accidents on both instances since i could not accelerate past 40 mph. I had to manage my way out of the freeway to a safe place. 2two diagnostics were performed and i received codes p0418, p1604, c1241, p2445, p2441. I was told by the toyota dealership that there was a problem with a faulty secondary air injection system pump and other components related to the system and i was provided a repair cost of over $3,000 dollars. I was later informed, and i discovered through research, that toyota had installed faulty/defective air pumps in thousands of tundras 2013's like the one that i own. I reached out to corporate office but they stated that my vin number somehow did not "qualify" as one of the affected pickups. My tundra only has 60k miles and i use it to commute from and to work basically. I perform routine maintenance. There is obviously a problem with a defective secondary air pump system that toyota refuses to fix. My truck is a liability on the road and this is my only means of transportation. It looses power and the check engine light activates. Toyota recalled thousands of vehicles like mine and fixed them after they acknowledged that they had placed faulty air pump systems. My truck is a potential possible cause for an accident since it unpredictably looses power on the freeway. I have not received a solution from headquarters/corporate office to repair my truck at no price since it is affected by their faulty pumps. They did offer $750 dollars towards the cost of parts, meaning that i have to come out with over $2000k out of pocket. I need toyota to take responsibility and fix my truck.
The truck horn does not work when pressing on the steering wheel. It will work when the panic button is pressed. I bought the truck from the original owner, a friend of mine, and he believes it never worked.my brother has a similar tundra 2014 model and his horn has started working only intermittingly.i believe this may be a common problem.
Intermittent engine, trac control lights and 4wd lo light flashing when driving down road
Horn stopped working on steering wheel.appears to be a common issue with this truck.
The body of the truck is designed to allow rodents/mice into the cab where they can chew the wiring which will lead to avariety of problems.the truck currently has about 3300 miles on it.when i contacted the dealer they said yeah all these trucks have this, what has been damaged so we can get it in for repair.i asked if it was covered under warranty and they said no.coating the wiring with a soy (mouse food) based product is insanity unless you're trying to increase your repair business.there are 16 computers in this truck that control everything.when the wiring is damaged because of this design flaw all sorts of malfunctions will occur thatinclude steering, engine quitting, brakes failing, throttle, lights, etc.the dealer is very aware of the problem and specializes in fixing it to the tune of about $200 so far.i haven't had a wiring problem because of mice but others have.this very funny (to the dealer0 problem will eventually kill people if it hasn't already.
Initially driver side lock actuator would not unlock door via remote. This last approximately 10-days. The problem resolved it self. Approximately 2-weeks later the front passenger door exhibited the same problem. The passenger door lock actuator problem lasted approximately 7-days. This has been randomly happening over the past 6-8 months. Within the past 5-days the drivers door began acting up. This time the lock would unlock using the remote but then would not lock using the remote. I would have to cycle the lock system 4 to 5 times before all four doors would lock using remote. At some times three of the four doors would lock except the drivers door. I then tried to recycle the lock system. At times after recycling the lock system i would still have to lock drivers door manually. I took vehicle to toyota dealer in my hometown, the diagnosis was that both front door lock actuators are bad and i would need to spend $1,200 to fix. I was told the lock actuators are not covered under any manufactures recall. The lock actuator issue has always happened when vehicle is in a parked condition, engine off. It has happened in all kinds of weather.

When the engine starts it has a very noticeable knocking noise on the passenger side that never goes away. You put it in gear and you can really hear the engine knocking, and the knocking speeds up as you accelerate. Even after the engine warms up completely you can still hear it knocking(stationary, or in motion) . Also my gas mileage is horrible!i average about 12.3mpg every tank.the best mpg i have ever seen is 13.4 mpgaverage which is ridiculous even for a full size truck.i always loved toyota vehicles and ever since i was young i always wanted a toyota truck because i thought they were the toughest out there, but after owning this 2013 toyota tundra i'm disgusted.
The truck at only 60,000 miles has a faulty cam tower seal leak that causes oil to drip onto the exhaust with potential to cause an engine fire.
Cam tower leak-oil leaking on motor
Cranked truck and check engine light came on. Upon computer diagnostics, find out there is a problem with the emissions system - stuck air injection control valves. After visiting two shops and talking to two more i find out this is an extremely common problem. There are literally tens of thousands tundra's, sequoia's, etc with the exact same problem. There has been no recall, but toyota has set up customer support programs (csp's) to reimburse some of those affected by high repair bills $3,000 - $5,000. This was obviously a very poor design by toyota that's been dumped on their customers. My vehicle is not covered by the csp.
At only 64000 miles my 2013 platinum tundra has a cam tower leak. This is a fire hazard and needs to be addressed asap.
I would like your help in assessingthe possible danger from an active excessive oil leak from the cam tower on the 2013 tundra.this relatively new truck leaked oil all over the engine without my knowledge until i brought it in for service.i was told this could have lead to an auto fire and since i am a disabled senior this is terrifying.a brief review of the internet literature shows that this leaking cam tower seal is a common problem and can happen repetitively because of a manufacture defect in the cam tower cover and seals.my question to you is this a common problem and is there really a danger of fire?in short should i think about buying a new truck and is there any investigation taking place at this time.thank you for your help and assistance at this time.
The contact owns a 2013 toyota tundra. The contact noticed smoke coming from the engine. The contact checked under the hood and noticed that the cam shaft tower seal was leaking onto the exhaust. The dealer (david maus toyota, 1160 reinehart rd, sanford, fl 32771) stated that the vehicle was not included in any recalls and did not assist. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 87,000.
Continuous oil leak from cam tower onto exhaust manifold. Dealer denied the issue even though the signs are very obvious. A call to toyota to got me no where. They denied the issue like the dealer. There is oil on the engine block and also the exhaust manifold is black from the all of the oil dripping. After driving for awhile the car smells like it's burning. There is a very real potential for fire. The issue appears to be widespread. A quick internet search can find extensive examples. Toyota appears to be reverting to it's old ways and not taking responsibility for serious safety issues.
Oil leak around cams. This is a common problem noted all over the internet - both 4.6 and 5.7 liter motors. Toyota refuses to cover if you are not notified of this problem after 60k miles or 5 years. Oil leaks on both sides of the motor on to the exhaust. The date i noted below, is only when the dealership told me. I believe this has been happening for sometime now. I just reached 60k+ with my last oil change and was then reported to me -- i believe with that intention.
Vehicle at 23199 miles, still under warranty-car stationary, smelled burning oil and noticed the oil leak from both sides of the wheel well above the heat shield. Vehicle was diagnosed by a dealer and cam tower seal was leaking from both sides. They also found valve cover was leaking as well. This was a great safety concern due to fire hazard. Factory defect due to insufficient seal applied to the mattingsurfaces.defect remedied and major repair was completed. They have changed all the gaskets and seals on the engine.
The contact owns a 2013 toyota tundra. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (price leblanc, 13250 airline hwy, baton rouge, la 70817) where it was diagnosed that the air injection dial and air pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not offer any assistance.the vin and failure mileage were unknown. Updated 08/24/17*lj
Truck has issues with delayed starting.motor will turn over but will not start immediately first thing in the morning.have to turn on and off several times before successful start.have been told that the problem may be the fuel pump and this could be critical while driving as the pump might fail at speed causing complete power loss. Issue began on or about 12/03/2018 and continues to present.
My 2013 toyota tundra truck ( 74,734 miles) suddenly had engine failure while driving down an incline at 48 mph. I lost power steering and power brakes. After eventually pulling the wheel with much effort and using the emergency brake i was able to get the truck off to the side of the road.i turned the key and the engine started right away and i was able to drive again but only at a reduced speed of 40 mph or less ( it's called "limp" mode) my mechanic diagnosed it as a secondary air injection pump failure. Upon investigating this on several tundra owner message boards, i find that this is a common failure tundra trucks at around 75000 miles. The toyota dealer confirmed that this has been a common problem and looked up my vin number to see if it qualified for a warranty extension program that toyota has offered for some 2012 and 2013 tundra trucks. Unfortunately my vin number was a few numbers beyond the extension program.had my wife been driving the truck when this happened, i am not so sure she would have had the strength to safely bring the truck under control and get it off the road with no power steering or power brakes. I want toyota to extend the warranty on this faulty part before someone gets into a serious accident. They have obviously admitted there is a problem with this part and should extend it to all toyota truck owners with this particular problem. Not just a select few.
Cam tower gaskets (right and left) leaking @ 25,000 mi/5 years on exhaust manifold causing smoke and a fire hazard. Truck would not pass maine state inspection because of the oil leak.

#4 intake valve spring broke and cause engine failure
Driving on interstate the truck all of sudden looses power and. Dash warning lights come on and i have extremely hard time getting truck to side of road safety without power. Took to shop said i had air injection pump water intrusion and it was common issues with most of tundrathey have recalled early years before mine and it's a $4000 bill my truck has 120000 miles on it. Please help
The contact owns a 2013 toyota tundra. While driving between 3 and 7 mph with the brake pedal depressed, the engine would rev and the rpms would erroneously increase. The vehicle was taken to two separate dealers who were unable to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 2,000.
Cam tower oil leaks on both driver and passenger side - oil leaking onto to manifold causing smoke - possible fire risk - numerous complaints went unanswered, finally diagnosed by the dealer, however toyota not willing to fix as vehicle is outside of manufacturer's warranty - this is a known issue!!
Vehicle surges/jumps forward when the gas pedal is barely touchedfrom the stationary/stop position while in drive. I was moving the vehicle about 2ft.this problem causedproperty damage this morning. This vehicle has had this problem from date of purchase. I reported this to toyota in 2013. (2nd problem,) this vehicle goes up to 2500 rpms when i turn down the next street which has a slight decline but the speed doesn't increase. This seems to happen in the morning when it is first used. I think this could be a defective computer module for both problems.(3rd) problem the instrument panel can not be read on a sunny day, you don't know how fast you are going or how much fuel you have, etc.the whole panel could be defective.i reported this problem to toyota in 2013, they did not show any interest in these problem
I was driving with bright lights on i had fog lights onfirst time i had ever used them had a left turn to make turnedturn signal on all lights went out i was in total darkness i turned signal offand lights came back on i pulled off the road i hit the signal again and the lights went our again and the gps unit we noticed changed from night mode to day mode. I turned signal off and the lights came back on i played around making it do it again and again so i thought this has never happened before what caused this ? since this was the first time ever driving using fog lights i turned them off then the turn signal had no effect so i assumed it had to be in fog lights i left them on and it didn't do it again.latter in safer setting like in my drive way i found out it would happen with fog light off it seemed to be dependent on lights being on bright when i used either turn signal. It then stopped and i couldn't make it do it any more so i never made a appointmentabout two weeks ago it done it again while i was driving again this time it was doing it a lot so i made an appointment to get it fixed on my extended warranty 100 deductibletook it to where i bought it and it wouldn't do it for them or me. So i paid them the 100.$came home it hasn't done it again for about 5 days so far waiting for a cold spell in mid 20 deg to see if that makes any difference. But i did go on line and found forums for tundra people experiencing same thingthe tundras had the exact problem i am having this is dangerous i have been lucky so far and have not had a wreck i cant believe toyota doesn't know about this they had problems with other cars lights going out and lost a class action suit. This is an intermittent problem and could never get it to the dealer and make it do this. My bother in law was with me the first time they went out the tech got them to flicker 1 time no fix thou.
Turned headlight switch to "on" position but lights did not turn on. Turned switch "off" and back "on" and lights still did not work. Wiggled the switch around some and the lights came on. Truck was sitting in my driveway when this happened. I was driving one night and turned my left turn signal on and the headlights went off. I was able to wiggle the switch around and get them to come back on to make the turn. When i parked i turned the right turn signal on and the headlights went out again. It seems there is a short somewhere in the switch.
Air injection pump and valvehas a history of failure in toyota tundras.. Their was a recall up until 2011 on tundras. I have owned this vehicle for 9 months.i took my vehicle to price leblanc toyota in baton rouge louisiana , and to replace these parts and labor is gonna be $2600 dollars. These parts are defective as the dealers keep them in stock because of so many failures and consumers are having to pay this huge charge.i have spoke with toyota corporation and they refuse to replace.with the failure of this part when u are driving the vehicle stalls upon acceleration. This is dangerous when u are pulling out or merging in traffic..as of now i cannot afford 2600 dollars in repairs. Thank you
I was driving and out of nowhere my engine light comes on. I take it to auto zone to do a quick check and i was informed that it is my injection pumps that are bad. I did research and in the past toyota has had to recall for this exact problem on the exact vehicle but it was for a different year. I called toyota and they said my vehicle year does not fall into the recall but i'm sure that it is the exact thing.

The air injection pump is defective and allows condensation and or moisture which leads to totally failure. I have already spent 1100.00 dollars for one side now the otherside is failing..this failure caused the truck to lack any get up when pulling out into traffic.it wants to stall.
Toyota dealer and toyota technical support are unable to fix the problem associated with t-sb-0058-13.this is the second time within 3 months or so thati have taken my 2013 toyota tundra in for this fix.fuel economy drops on average of 30-40%.toyota refuse to acknowledge that this is an issue, and is refusing to cover costs associated with fixing this recurring problem.this has been stated as a software gliche, and there are no parts to replace.hard starts, rough idle, and reduction in fuel economy can only be fixed by reprogramming the ecm. Dealership is saying there is nothing that toyota is willing to do.this issue is impacting thousands of owners, and the only resolution toyota has is to flash the ecm. If this is a software issue i would expect that toyota issue a recall to address this problem since it has been ongoing for multiple years of this engine combination.they know it's a problem, but are not doing anything to address it.i have logged multiple calls in to toyota for this problem, but have received no follow up contacts.
Incredibly poor mileage due to defective flex fuel engine.i have a brand new 2013 toyota tundra crewmax 4x4 flex fuel that is epa rate for 13/17.i have been consistently averaging 7.4 mpg city under very light throttle.following a toyota corporate esb i have already had the dealer reflash the ecu in an attempt to resolve this issue.the poor mileage remains.
Truck stopped excellerating.took to mechanic and was told it was in safe mode due to the air injection values had water in them.it will cost $2336.00 to fix it.this should be recalled.

Ecu problem. Since june 2018, i have started to see decreased mpg (avg 9 mpg, 50/50) and vehicleexhibiting high alc. Density % when fueled with e0/e10 gas. No dtc codes, but extended crank exhibited, poor performance and shifting observed.this is a flex vehicle. Fuel trims were way into negative and i have called toyota and filed a case when this happened, but was out of warranty by 2 months.(called aug 2018) vehicle had 55k miles. They said its up to the dealership to remedy the issue. Took it to the dealer and they re calibrated the ecu per toyota tsb 0058-13 (so they know of the problem , but not doing anything about it) to me it looks like they are hiding something, (dieselgate) for a year, vehicle was fine and did not show any issues with alc. Density % , mpg was normal and performance/driveability improved, until sep 2019. Same thing. Alc. Density % too high causing poor mpg. I have to pay the dealer too just reset the values, even though this issue falls under federal emission standards and it has warranty of 84 months or 80k. So even after the fix ecu changes the values after a year. Clearly ecu issue that toyota does not want to take responsibility for. This goes against gas emissions (ghg) and fuel economy standards for light-duty vehicles. There are known issues about this out there on flex fuel tundras, but toyota is trying to hide this.
Hard to start just cranks usually starts after 3 tries i tried turning the key on and waiting a few seconds and then it fires up when driving has no power when accelerating
Developing high alc. Density % when using only e0-e10 gas. Tsb 005813 was done in 2014 , but issue resurfaced.toyota unwilling to fix the problem. Dealership want to charge for the fuel pump. ($1500).5 year warranty ended june 10 2018. Truck has 54k miles. Toyota knows of this problem and it is a fuel pump. Truck has poor mpg due to this and lacks power. Ecu thinks truck is using %40 ethanol which turns high pressure regulator in the pump itself and tells ecu to pump more fuel. Toyota nor dealer wants to reflash the ecu. Tsb falls under federal emission warranty 96 months or 80k miles.
I have only 34,800 miles on my 2013 toyota tundra. The drivers seat belt is already showing severe wear (with fraying) on the belt, and the seat belt latch is also lose at it's mounting point on the drivers seat frame. The whole latch assembly "clunks" when i pull on it, or every time i stop the car.
My drivers side seat belt would not connect and upon inspection 2 pieces including a spring fell out of it.
The contact owned a 2013 toyota tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, another vehicle had run a red light and crashed into the front grill assembly of the contact's vehicle then the other vehicle spun and crashed into the driver side of the contact's vehicle. The contact's front driver seat moved inadvertently towards the steering wheel but the seat belt did not prevent the contact's neck, chest, and stomach from slamming into the steering wheel. The contact heard a loud bang and the air bags deployed, filling the inside of the vehicle with a powder substance. The contact and passenger were transported to the hospital by ambulance with injuries sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a towing yard and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened but the manufacturer informed the contact that there was no recall for the air bags associated with the vin. The failure mileage was 72,120. Consumer stated driver airbag exploded before it could inflate. Driver was injured.
My seat belt latch quit working the plastic piece and spring came up out of the latch.my vehicle was stationary.
Seat rail loose on drivers side seat. Seat is bolted firmly to floor but the rail that it slides on is loose. Problem started at 30,000 miles and truck has 40,000. Toyota want 1100.00 to fix the seat because its out of warranty. Toyota offered to pay for the rail at 700.00 and i pay 300.00 for install. As i research this model of tundra on the internet, this issue is common. This truck is unsafe with a loose seat rail and i feel that it should not have to be replaced every 30k miles. It should be recalled!!!
Bought this truck used with 8,000 miles on it.it came with a platinum extended warranty transferred from the previous owner.at 18,000 miles the seat was moving, popping and felt like springs were poking me. Sure enough, the seat frame had "worn out".was replaced by dealer with factory warranty.42,000 miles the seat issue is back, but different this time. The seat actually moves side to side and "clunks" when stopping and going or turning.dealer says that this may not be covered under the platinum warranty.i will update this after i take it to the dealer this week.if i had wanted a hunk of junk, i would have bought a dodge!my 2000 tundra was bullet proof.this one.. Not so much. We'll find out how well toyota wants to take care of their customers.
I was pulling into my driveway, about to park. When i braked it was as if the "power" in the power brakes had failed. I had to stomp on the pedal. I nearly hit my house. This was one week ago. Today, as i left a parking lot, i noticed it happen again: very little stopping power, but no softness in the pedal. I placed the transmission in park and saw no brake fluid under the truck. I began driving slowly again, and had to stomp the pedal to obtain braking power. The brake light suddenly came on. A click or pulse occured in the brakes, felt through the pedal, and suddenly the brakes began functioning properly. The brake light remained lit until i stopped and restarted the truck. Upon restarting the truck, everything functioned normally, and the brake light did not light again. I will not drive the truck until it gets into the dealer (they're booked for 3 days). This is a serious safety concern, and i see that another owner has reported a similar problem. Please investigate this!
Brakes do not function properly nor consistently. I am honestly concerned (if not afraid) about a sporadic noise i am hearing and have continued to hear and experience since i purchased this truck. The noise is a thud and a feeling at the brake pedal along with a greatly increased amount of stopping distance necessary to successfully bringing the vehicle to a complete stop. I have made this condition known since my purchase and service done within florida, as during break in certain conditions were applicable disguising the condition but needless to say it is a sure and certain safety concern & condition as i cannot adequately determine when the condition will arise thus i cannot adequately judge the necessary distance to bring the vehicle to a stop. The condition makes it feel as though just the rear brakes are engaged, no "pulling" is felt in the steering of the vehicle but certainly i am being stopped completely from "behind". Cramer test drove the truck but found nothing wrong but i contend the problem is so infrequent and sporadic a test drive or two may not [or may] ever discover the issue i am sure exists within this braking system nevertheless the condition is preventing me from driving the vehicle for fear i or some other innocent pedestrian or motorist will be injured as a direct, consequential or proximal result of my braking system's failure(s). We need to get the condition fixed without adding hundreds or thousands of miles to my vehicle without just compensation. Please acknowledge receipt of this email and my safety concerns/issues that have been consistently a matter of facts since i purchased this vehicle. This is a continuing problem.
Backing out of my driveway, with the engine running, i tried to stop the vehicle but the brake pedal was spongy and pushed all the way to the floor without stopping the truck. I had to continue to pump the brakes and attempt to stop the truck until it finally came to a rest in the street. It was as if there was no power assist to the brakes. The brake system thought the engine was off, despite the engine having warmed up for about five minutes.
On 08/22/14, i had been to the local toyota dealership to have my oil changed.i asked them to look at the brakes because there was a terrible vibration and the brakes have not stopped well since i bought the truck.they said the truck needed new brakes, rotors and pads all the way around.i was supposed to take it back on 08/29/14. On 08/28/14 while driving on a clear road with no rain or clouds i went to stop and i pushed the brakes to the floor with both feet and the truck did not stop and i hit another car.i have filed a complaint with toyota and they finally ordered an inspector to get the black box from my truck.he has not called to schedule this and it is 3 weeks later.i have left message after message.i believe the brakes are faulty with the truck.there is no reason at 9000 miles on a new truck that it should need new brakes, rotors and pad all the way around.now i am waiting on engineering analysis association to contact me to set up an inspection of my truck.no one is willing to help me get information, not toyota and not eaa.
Horn does not work when a road hazard was presented attempted to utilize horn nothing happened when i took to toyota they said it is the wiring harness from the airbag around the steering column and is not covered under warranty and is not a recall but when i look up online many people for years have had issues with this problem was sent away driving my vehicle which i believe to be unsafe as if i don't have airbags or a horn not sure that my vehicle is legal to be driven at this point i feel that since these are safety issues they should be recalls as it has happened to many people i have only owned my truck since december i picked it up at the very end of december 2019.
Between 1600 and 2000 rpm steering wheel resonates enough to be distracting.
I took my 2013 toyota tundra in for a routine 55,000 mile service and they informed me that the steering rack is filling with fluid and i could have it sieze up on me while driving. I purchased all warranties good until 2020 but they feel this design flaw should be covered by me the consumer. I was quoted $3000.00+ for the repair. I bought this truck after putting 100,000+ on 2006 tundra with nothing close to this is repairs. What is going on? the steering can sieze up, and this isn't a recall? why would i buy another toyota? how do they justify letting this level of a safety issue to just drive out of the dealership and say it's your problem?
On march 6 of 2014 i had brought my 2013 toyota tundra in for a very bad vibration issue coming from the bottom it turns out when they inspected the truck that driveshaft had to be repacked i was in a rental car for two inconvenience me for those two days with no truck that i bought to have and use finally got the truck back everything seems okay and then on 531 of 14 which is approximately two months after the first incident my truck was again brought in for a issue coming from the rear end now they stated me that my wheel bearing had went went bad with proximately only 11,256 miles i'm no mechanic but i do know wheel-bearings go way longer.. Seven months later what do you know 18,000 miles my whole front end alignment was way out of whack i'm no mechanic but there is an issue with this truck causing all these problems i had called corporate and they pretty much gave me the runaround that my truck was bought used and not new at their dealership so basically leaving me with a truck that someone had botton with only 500 miles on it and they knew it had issues and now i'm stuck with it i runi'm running out of options i don't know what else to do can you please help
While driving at 75 mph on interstate 40 steering column completely fell on to lap, had to pick up steering column and try to keep truck under control at which time all dash lights came on . After getting truck stopped noticed that bolts used to hold steering column where not attached to column. Took pictures of steering column as proof , at this time put bolts into column and tighten bolts. Continued trip cruise control also inoperative now.
Vibratetion on the steering wheel
I was pulling into a parking spot when my power steering went out.i checked the fluid and the fluid level was low.i called toyota customer care and they sent a tow truck to pick up my vehicle and deliver it to the nearest dealership.while loading the truck, a seal popped on the steering arm and fluid started leaking out.springhill toyota is not honoring my manufacture or extended warranty because i have added heavy duty coil springs to support my road armor bumper i installed for extra protection.after researching, this seems to be a common problem in the 08-13 tundra's with or without modifications.toyota even issued a technical notice "t-tt-0183-12" to address this issue but the dealership is denying this claim.this could cause a major accident if this happened at highway speeds or making turns.there needs to be a recall issued or a notice to notify all of the dealerships of this problem.
Bad vibration in steering wheel and gas pedal at 1600-1900 rpm range.doesn't matter the speed.vibration is worse when vehicle is under load or towing .both hands and right footfall asleep from vibration on long continuous trips , i've contacted toyota twice and had to dealer twice . Dealer says this is normalcharacteristic of truck. Toyota denies any other complaints . There is nothing normal about this vibration as hands and foot are affected by the vibration to the point of going numb , there are many many complaints of this on many toyota forums.
The contact owns a 2013 toyota tundra. The contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the steering wheel while in use. An independent repair facility diagnosed that the intermediate steering shaft may need to be replaced and informed the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnostic testing and repair. The dealer (spring hill toyota, 3062 government blvd, mobile, al 36606, 1-(251) 450-1000) was notified, but had not yet diagnosed the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Vibration in gas pedal,steering wheel and floor board every time the accelerator is engaged. Have carried to the dealer four times. Was told today 11/26/2014 that it is harmonic vibrations.i asked where was it coming from but was not provided any answers.i am concerned because it involves the gas pedal and the fact that the dealer will not tell me the source of the vibrations ,if they know.i also called toyota corp.and filed a claim but was told if dealer and engineers said there was no problem,my only recourse would be a claim with nhtsa.
The contact owned a 2013 toyota tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, another vehicle had run a red light and crashed into the front grill assembly of the contact's vehicle then the other vehicle spun and crashed into the driver side of the contact's vehicle. The contact's front driver seat moved inadvertently towards the steering wheel but the seat belt did not prevent the contact's neck, chest, and stomach from slamming into the steering wheel. The contact heard a loud bang and the air bags deployed, filling the inside of the vehicle with a powder substance. The contact and passenger were transported to the hospital by ambulance with injuries sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a towing yard and deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened but the manufacturer informed the contact that there was no recall for the air bags associated with the vin. The failure mileage was 72,120. Consumer stated driver airbag exploded before it could inflate. Driver was injured.
The body of the truck is designed to allow rodents/mice into the cab where they can chew the wiring which will lead to avariety of problems.the truck currently has about 3300 miles on it.when i contacted the dealer they said yeah all these trucks have this, what has been damaged so we can get it in for repair.i asked if it was covered under warranty and they said no.coating the wiring with a soy (mouse food) based product is insanity unless you're trying to increase your repair business.there are 16 computers in this truck that control everything.when the wiring is damaged because of this design flaw all sorts of malfunctions will occur thatinclude steering, engine quitting, brakes failing, throttle, lights, etc.the dealer is very aware of the problem and specializes in fixing it to the tune of about $200 so far.i haven't had a wiring problem because of mice but others have.this very funny (to the dealer0 problem will eventually kill people if it hasn't already.
I purchased the vehicle brand new from joe pecheles toyota in washington, nc. I discovered dents in the roof 5 days after purchase. The roof sometimes vibratesand makes noise when driven. You can place your hand almost anywhere on the roof and it cavitates. I contacted the dealer and toyota's customer care. I was told in an email by their customer care department supervisor [xxx] that this is not a safety issue. I had a meeting with district service manager [xxx] and joe pecheles general manager [xxx]on feb. 17, 2014. I was shown a diagram of the roof and the support braces. The interior liner was removed and [xxx]looked at the support braces and told me the roof met manufacturing specifications and that they could not account for the dents and the cavitating. He suggested that maybe something heavy was placed on the roof to cause the dents even though there is no evidence to match his claim, no scratches, scrapes, the paint is perfect, the indents are not located in a specific area. He stated all toyota tundra's with a sun roof are manufactured the same. When the interior liner was removed i placed my hand on the roof just above the support braces and the roof flexes where it'?s supposed to be supported most, the metal is very thin. There was no auto body mechanic to answer any of my concerns during this meeting and they conveniently had no other tundra with a sunroof to compare with mine. Earlier when i was communicating with toyota customer care i took the vehicle to an auto body shop. I was told the roof was not structurally supported properly and they gave me an estimate to properly fix it. I emailed this information to their customer care department and no mention has been made by toyota about the findings. I feel this is a safety issue and if this truck flips over the roof will offer no protection to the occupants.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I have noticed previous recalls from older model toyota trucks due rust occurring to frames and beds. Currently, there is no recall for my 2013 tundra specific to this. However, it seems like the frame rust issues continued past the earlier recall. My truck is 2013 toyota tundra with approx 35,000 miles. There is rust on the frame and bubbling through my truck bed liner. From forbes i noticed there was a $3.4 billion recall for toyota trucks and suvs from 2005-2010. From further research on various forums, i noticed others having similar issues.i spoke to toyota, they stated there is no recall for my year truck. I will share some photos from rust bubbling through the truck bed. If you would like additional photos i would be happy to share.i really am unsure the next coarse of action. I have never submitted anything to nhtsa before. I would love for you to research this further to determine if a recall could be issued. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

When driving on concrete interstate highways at speeds over 65 mph there is excessive bed bounce on the pickup creating extreme vibration in the cabin and affecting the handling of the pickup. I complained to the toyota dealer and was told that this is normal for all pickups but i could correct it by loading weight in the box. It appears to be a design flaw that was supposed to be fixed on tech bulletin the 2007-2010 tundras, but the bed bounce problem on the 2013 tundra continues. I have owned 4 full sized 4 wheel drive pickups including a 2003 tundra and i have never experienced such a rough ride.
Took truck in at 14,000 miles with a distinct vibration to dealer where truck was leased. Truck was returned with tires rotated and tires rebalanced. This problem resurfaced again at 24,000 miles and truck again was taken back to dealer. I was notified by dealers rep. That i needed to buy 4 new tires to which i told dealer rep that this truckwas a leased vehicle which i did not own and it was up to dealer to fix truck. I also got in tuch with the maker of the tire which was michilin tire who stated to me that the tire in question size p255/70r 18 had a 5 year 50,000 mile warrenty. Michilin asked me for the number to the dealer and said that they would get in touch with dealer to try to see what the problem was and work with dealer to fix the situation. I got in touch with dealer on the next business day and the service manager said that he had consulted michilin and toyota and they had worked it out but also requested from me to give the truck a wheel alignment, which i agreed to. Wheni went to the dealer later that afternoon to pick up the truck i paid for the alignment on truck and talked with the service manager who eluded to me that he was telling me somthing that toyota did not want the custerer to know and that was that toyota was having truble with these trucks and that they were to heavy in the front end for the tires to sustain the weight but that my truck was ready and i assumed that 4 new tires had been put on the truck so i picked it up and drove opff. Now appoximately 3 weeks ago as i had just reached 34,000 miles on the vehicle the vibration started up again and again i consulted michilin and they asked me to go to an autherized michilin dealer to inspect the tire and truck suspension system. This was done and to my surprise i found out that the toyota dealee had not replaced all 4 tires as indicated at 14,000 milles but only put on 2 tires.

My 2013 toyota tundra truck ( 74,734 miles) suddenly had engine failure while driving down an incline at 48 mph. I lost power steering and power brakes. After eventually pulling the wheel with much effort and using the emergency brake i was able to get the truck off to the side of the road.i turned the key and the engine started right away and i was able to drive again but only at a reduced speed of 40 mph or less ( it's called "limp" mode) my mechanic diagnosed it as a secondary air injection pump failure. Upon investigating this on several tundra owner message boards, i find that this is a common failure tundra trucks at around 75000 miles. The toyota dealer confirmed that this has been a common problem and looked up my vin number to see if it qualified for a warranty extension program that toyota has offered for some 2012 and 2013 tundra trucks. Unfortunately my vin number was a few numbers beyond the extension program.had my wife been driving the truck when this happened, i am not so sure she would have had the strength to safely bring the truck under control and get it off the road with no power steering or power brakes. I want toyota to extend the warranty on this faulty part before someone gets into a serious accident. They have obviously admitted there is a problem with this part and should extend it to all toyota truck owners with this particular problem. Not just a select few.
Vehicle surges/jumps forward when the gas pedal is barely touchedfrom the stationary/stop position while in drive. I was moving the vehicle about 2ft.this problem causedproperty damage this morning. This vehicle has had this problem from date of purchase. I reported this to toyota in 2013. (2nd problem,) this vehicle goes up to 2500 rpms when i turn down the next street which has a slight decline but the speed doesn't increase. This seems to happen in the morning when it is first used. I think this could be a defective computer module for both problems.(3rd) problem the instrument panel can not be read on a sunny day, you don't know how fast you are going or how much fuel you have, etc.the whole panel could be defective.i reported this problem to toyota in 2013, they did not show any interest in these problem

Turned headlight switch to "on" position but lights did not turn on. Turned switch "off" and back "on" and lights still did not work. Wiggled the switch around some and the lights came on. Truck was sitting in my driveway when this happened. I was driving one night and turned my left turn signal on and the headlights went off. I was able to wiggle the switch around and get them to come back on to make the turn. When i parked i turned the right turn signal on and the headlights went out again. It seems there is a short somewhere in the switch.
