I OWN A TOYOTA TUNDRA, MODEL YEAR 2000. THE FRAME HAS EXTENSIVE RUST. A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 15, 2009. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY. A CASE WAS OPENED WITH TOYOTA. TOYOTA ENGINEER INSPECTED THE FRAME JANUARY 21ST, 2010. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN AND WAS ISSUED A LOANER VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR FEEDBACK ON THE NEXT STEP, HOWEVER, TOYOTA ADVISES THAT THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING ALL COMPLAINTS FOR TUNDRA FRAME RUST AT THIS POINT. *TR

ABNORMAL FRAME RUST ON 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. UPON HAVING A SPRAYED IN BEDLINER INSTALLED TO FURTHER ENHANCE/PRESERVE OUR VEHICLE THE INSTALLATION COMPANY ADVISED US THEY NOTED A SEVERE AMOUNT OF FRAME RUST, THAT WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE CONDITION OF THE REST OF VEHICLE. THEY WERE UNDER THE VEHICLE FOR A FIRE WATCH DURING THE INSTALLATION OF TWO WELDED PATCHES TO THE TRUCK BED TO ELIMINATE RUST IN THE BED BEFORE IT SPREAD. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE FRAME IS INDEED INCONSISTENTLY RUSTED IN COMPARISON TO THE REMAINDER OF THE VEHICLE. THIS INCLUDES SUBSTANTIAL RUSTING OF THE SUPPORT FOR THE FUEL TANK WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE LOCAL DEALER SUGGESTED THAT BASED ON THE YEAR OF THE VEHICLE THE FRAME MAY HAVE BEEN COATED IN OHIO WHERE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PROPER AMOUNT COATING BEING APPLIED, BUT THAT THEY WERE NOT DOING ANYTHING AT THIS TIME FOR CUSTOMERS. (SIMILAR TO THE TACOMAS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED). *TR UPDATED 03/29/10 *BF PICTURES RECEIVED 10/07/10

FRONT ROTORS AND REAR DRUMS ARE WARPING ABOUT EVERY 15,000 MILES REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS, DRUMS, SHOES, AND PADS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. SEVERAL TSB'S HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THIS SUBJECT TO NO AVAIL. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT MAY LEAD TO EITHER CATASTROPHIC OR REPETITIVE SYSTEM FAILURE WHICH MAY IN TURN LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THE BRAKES ARE NOT PROPERLY DESIGNED AND TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO RECTIFY. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED. IF IT NOT WITH THE BRAKES, I WOULD NOT BE SO ALARMED.

I pulled out of my bank's parking lot driveway making a right turn and the lower left ball joint failed and broke off causing the left front wheel assembly to collapse. The truck slid to a stop and blocked both the driveway and roadway. Police arrived shortly afterwards and made a report. Truck was not able to move on it's own and had to be towed to a repair shop. Broken ball joint inspected and then replaced by my mechanic. Further damage occurred to the left front fender and drivers door from the wheel assembly slamming into the fender. Front fender damage caused the drivers door to jamb shut. The damaged fender had to be pried back to release the door so it could open. (fender and door not repaired) Fortunately I was alone and not injured if I had been driving at highway speeds I would have received serious injuries/death and possibly loosing control of vehicle causing possible injuries/death to others. No warning lights/messages were visible before or during the incident and the only symptom I observed was a slight creaking noise right before it happened.

Hit a power pole going 55mp,broke the pole in half.Airbags did not deploy,seat belt did not engage.I hit my face on the glass and the steering wheel,nearly broke my face.My dog was in the back thankfully.My hips took the brunt of the impact, they still hurt. A Idaho state trooper investigated with video showing our totaled truck around a broken pole, no air bag or seat belt employed,My smashed face covered in blood. Did a little research and found that our 2000 tundra isnt in a recall???What does it take to set off a tundra airbag?? Also found out that I should be thankful it didnt go off or I may have been injured by a discharge of schrapnel??Found several victims of that. My wife takes a blood thinner and often goes with me to town,but now shes not going to be able to safely ride in her own vehicle anymore?? This reminds me of how CPS drops the ball and just lets kids die before they ever do anything. I will be doing alot more with my pen as my sword my video as my witness,I loved my tundra but this is more way more dangerous than my 1990 truck with basic mechanics.If you have a tundra or other vehicle that is dangerous ,speak out about it,get an attorney,Save SOMEONES LIFE.These are dangerous airbags,no doubt in my mind. Ps Our truck is 100% unmodified other than tire changes.Now a death trap, until this is resolved

Discovered that Toyota tundra and other models possible use of defective product of airbag srs system, basis of preceding years and following years of producing models and other plants supply house. I am seeking replacement parts for airbags components and sensors and clockspring and repairs. Only had two warrant issues up to this date. Trailer towing package and high altitude air flow/ throttle position sensor. Resolve by manufacturer and dealership. Current affairs of airbag recall list and the accident reports of12/10/2009-2010 show no airbag deployment and were a serious relationship with the owners and the people affected. Research shows takata reviews for further information and details of the products and services for repairs. I have a 2000-2001 tundra and are looking at the possibility of "dummy airbags components" been installed and not working. Further, timing going out on double coil type ignition (original). jumpers to the next firing order coil. I have had to interim operation a single coil, primary, with jumper wire. Thank you very much. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2000 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, he noticed that the front wheels would frequently turn to the opposite direction of what was intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the upper ball joints had failed and needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic replaced the upper ball joints with the same model; however, the failure reoccurred after the vehicle had been driven for less than 20,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the upper ball joints with the same model part; however, the failure persisted. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they would only replace the ball joints with the original OEM ball joints. The vehicle was taken to an auto builder who assisted the contact in replacing the control arms, upper and lower ball joints, and retro shocks with a different model. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22E002000 (Suspension) because the VIN was not included. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

THE TRUCK IS IN AWESOME CONDITION EXCEPT THE FRAME. TOYOTA HAS REPLACED THE FRAMES IN OTHER TRUCKS IN THE PAST BUT ARE UNWILLING TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE ONE I OWN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING IT, AND DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE OF ITS ONE NEGATIVE THING . I'M GOING TO INCLUDE SOME PHOTOS SO YOU CAN JUDGE IF YOU WISH. IF THEIR IS ANYTHING YOUR COMPANY DO TO HELP ME, IT'LL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I HAVE REACH OUT TO TOYOTA IN THE PAST AND ALL THEY'VE SAID WAS THAT THEIR IS NO RECALL ON THE TRUCK ANYMORE. ITS VERY SAD BECAUSE THEIR IS PLENTY OF THESE TRUCKS OUT THERE, AND ARE VERY UNSAFE TO THE OWNER AND PEDESTRIANS AROUND US. THEY SHOULD RECALL CERTAIN ONES LIKE THE ONE I OWN ON ACCOUNT OF ITS CONDITION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

FRAME RUST SO BAD TRUCK WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. THIS CONDITION FOUND ON ANNUAL STATE INSPECTION. FROM PICS MECHANIC TOOK, I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE. SOME ATTACHMENT BRACKETS/BARS NOT EVEN CONNECTED AND RUSTED COMPLETELY IN HALF. I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE NOR ANY TYPE OF BUY BACK PROGRAM FOR IT. SAD THAT THIS TRUCK WAS NOT REPAIRED AS THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2000-2003 TUNDRAS AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT REPAIR DUE TO AGE. SEEMS THIS REPAIR WORK SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ANY CONSUMER WHO OWNS THE VEHICLE IF THE RECALL WORK HAS NEVER BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE? I AM JUST SECOND OWNER OF VEHICLE AND HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE JUST OVER A YEAR. ALTHOUGH HIGH MILEAGE, THIS TRUCK RUNS AND LOOKS GREAT.

FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT RECALL OR LACK THEREOF. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR TOYOTA TUNDRAS YEAR 2002-2004 BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE 2000-2001 THAT HAVE LOWER BALL JOINTS OF THE SAME DESIGN. MINE FAILED AND SO HAVE SEVERAL OTHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER FAILED LOWER BALL JOINT. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF THE RESULT OF WHAT A FAILED BALL JOINT LOOKS LIKE AND WHEN YOU COMBINE THAT IMAGE WITH THE HYPOTHETICAL OF TRAVELING 65-70 MPH THE DAMAGE CAN THEN ESCALATE TO CATASTROPHIC OR EVEN DEATH. NOT ONLY FOR PASSENGERS BUT FOR OTHERS TRAVELING THE SAME ROAD. WHEN THE BALL JOINT FAILED I WAS LUCKILY TRAVELING 25-30 MPH TO GET ON TO THE FREEWAY, BUT IT FAILED BEFORE I WAS AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED. I SPOKE TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HERE AND THEY CLAIM THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT INCLUDE 2000-2001 YEAR TUNDRA'S, WHICH IS CONCLUSIVE OF THE RESEARCH I DID PREVIOUSLY. I ALSO CHECKED ON THE DESIGN OF THE BALL JOINTS AND THE DESIGN IS IDENTICAL BETWEEN 2000-2002. YET THE DEALER REFUSES TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR TO THE DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN CAUSED BY THE FAULTY LOWER BALL JOINT.
