Purchased new Toyota Tundra in 2004. Performed rust recall at dealer on 07/22/15. October 2016, brakes failed. Brake line completely rusted. July 26, 2021, Toyota Tundra rejected at state inspection for badly rusted frame. Inspectors were unable to get wheel off to inspect brakes because of rust damage. Took to Toyota dealer on March 9, 2022. They performed airbag recall. Unable to do front suspension lower ball joints recall. Dealer said frame could break when they put it on lift. Dealer said Timeframe to repair frame had expired. Estimate to fix frame over $15,000; Plus would need a lot more parts to go with replacement. Vehicle has approximately 68,500 miles on it.

TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. IT WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR RECALL AND THEY DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NOW RECALL IS EXPIRED AND VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND FRAME IS RUSTED AND THERE ARE HOLES. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN I TURNED AND WENT DOWN A HILL AND THE BRAKES DID NOT HOLD. OTHER INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE YEARS.

WHEN WE DRIVE THE TRUCK, WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKES THEY OFTEN GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. DRIVING WHILE ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS ON THE FREEWAYS. YOU HAVE TO PUMP THEM IN ORDER JUST TO STOP BEFORE HITTING ANYONE. AFTER DRIVING 30 MILES, WE HAVE TO REFILL THE MASTER CYLINDER WITH BRAKE FLUID. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC THREE TIMES FOR THEM TO FIND NO LEAK. A FRIEND LOOKED AT IT AND FOUND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. I HAVE AN ARTICLE FROM FOX NEWS STATING THAT OUR YEAR 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS INCLUDED, BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER AS WELL AS ENTERED IT INTO YOUR SYSTEM, THEY STATE IT IS NOT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND I STRONGLY FEEL THAT OUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE HAVE A NEW DRIVER DRIVING AND WILL NOT LET HER DRIVE THIS TRUCK IN THIS CONDITION. WE WOULD FEEL MUCH SAFER IF THIS COULD BE REPAIRED. WE HAVE BE FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT WE HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS, AND THE LEAK SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN.

TOYOTA RECALLED MY TUNDRA FOR A RUSTED FRAME. DEALER TOOK POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE IN APRIL. THEY PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR, BUT NO OTHER UPDATE OR CONTACT UNTIL A WEEK AGO WHEN THE FRAME ARRIVED. NOW NEARLY COMPLETE, THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $8000 FOR ADDITIONAL PARTS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL WHICH THEY CLAIM IS NECESSARY TO MAKE THE VEHICLE PASS INSPECTION AND ROADWORTHY YET MANY OF THESE PARTS WERE UNAFFECTED PRIOR TO THE RECALL. AT NO TIME DID TOYOTA EVER INFORM US OF ADDITIONAL COSTS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. TWO OF THE ITEMS ARE CRITICAL TO THE VALUE AND DRIVABILITY OF THE CAR. THEY INCLUDE THE REAR AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL WHICH I BELIEVE FAILED DUE TO THE SAME RUSTED ISSUES AS THE FRAME. THE ADDITIONAL PARTS AFFECTED WERE THE BRAKES. THE FRONT BRAKES SEIZED FROM 6 MONTHS OF NON USE AND MAINTENANCE BY THE DEALER, THE REAR BRAKES WERE FAILED BY FLUID LEAK FROM REAR AXLE WHILE IN POSSESSION OF THE DEALER FOR 6 MONTHS. IN SHORT, AFTER GETTING A NEW FRAME, THE DEALER WAS HOLDING TRYING TO CHARGE $8000 IN EXTRA REPAIRS OR THEY WOULD RETURN ME A TRUCK THAT HAD A NEW FRAME BUT WAS STILL INOPERABLE IN THE CONDITION UNDER WHICH IT WAS STORED BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER AND TOYOTA WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE VEHICLE AND RETURNING IT IN AS GOOD OR BETTER CONDITION THAN THEY RECEIVED IT, BUT INSTEAD IT LOST 1005 OF ITS VALUE. I CANT DRIVE IT, I CANT SELL IT. IT HAS A NEW FRAME BUT NOW HAS NO DIFFERENTIAL OR BRAKES IT HAS LOST ALL MARKETABLE VALUE, WHERE IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRADED IN OR SOLD PRIOR TO THE "FRAME REPLACEMENT" THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO RIGHT ALL THE WRONGS" OF TOYOTA'S DOING. I HAVE FULL SERVICE RECORDS SHOWING RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP OF THE TRUCK FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. NEEDS TO MAKE IT RIGHT AND FIX MY TRUCK SO I CAN DRIVE AGAIN, OR BUY ME OUT, OR OFFER ME A TRADE ALLOWANCE THAT IS FAIR AND EQUITABLE. THIS TOYOTA CASE NUMBER IS 1504140934.

BRAKE BACKING PLATES AND AXLE MOUNTING HARDWARE THAT WERE SEVERELY CORRODED WHEN FRAME WAS REPLACED ARE NOT SALVAGEABLE AND WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT AS WELL IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE HOUSING. *TR

THE 2004 AND EARLIER TOYOTA TUNDRA HAS HAD MAJOR CORROSION ISSUES AND FRAME RECALLS. MY TUNDRA WAS JUST INSPECTED BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND MAJOR CORROSION WAS NOTED ON THE VEHICLE FRAME. TOYOTA APPLIED A FIBERGLASS BASED RUSTPROOFING TO THE FRAME. HOWEVER, THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY OTHER CORROSION OR ROT ON THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLES MOTOR MOUNTS ARE SO CORRODED THAT I AM AFRAID THAT THE ENGINE WILL FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE MOUNTS THAT HOLD THE RADIATOR ARE SO CORRODED THEY ARE ALMOST GONE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER AREAS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND UNDERCARRIAGE THAT ARE COMPLETELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND TOYOTA WILL NOT ADDRESS IT. *TR

THE 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BOTH FRONT ROTORS REPLACED DUE TO WARPING AND SERIOUS VIBRATIONS DURING BRAKING. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE TOYOTA FORUMS AND ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE THAT MANY OF US OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT TO TOYOTA. TOYOTA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE AS THE ROTORS WERE MADE TO SMALL FOR THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED. VIBRATIONS. SEE ARTICLE HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/AUTOMOTIVE/TOYOTA_TUNDRA_BRAKES.HTML I HAD TO FIX THESE BRAKES OUT OF MY OWN POCKET LIKE THE REST OF TOYOTA TUNDRA OWNERS. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THANKS. *TR

THE BRAKES FAILED TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO GAIN IN SPEED AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND TRIED TO NAVIGATE A LEFT TURN AT 70+ MPH. WITH THE REAR END HOPPING SOMEHOW I NEGOTIATED THE TURN BUT COULD NOT TURN AGAIN. I CROSSED THE NEXT STREET AND ENDED UP GOING THRU THE WALL OF AN APARTMENT BUILDING AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVING ROOM. IT WAS ONLY GOD'S DESIGN FOR ME NOT TO DIE THIS DAY. HAD I NOT MADE THE FIRST TURN I WAS GOING TO RUN INTO A SMALL GROVE OF MATURE TREES. ALSO, IF ANY OTHER CARS HAD BEEN ON THE STREET I COULD NOT HAVE AVOIDED THEM. LUCKILY THE SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 SMALL CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE LIVING ROOM. *TR

2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 44000 MILES HAS DEVELOPED A BRAKE PROBLEM. AIR REPEATEDLY GETS INTO THE BRAKE LINES WITH NO LOSS OF FLUID CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN BRAKING.

REPAIRS COST TO DATE ARE OVER $3500, TOYOTA PICKED UP $2,000 LEAVING ME OUT OF POCKET $1500+ AND A TRUCK THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT MUST BE BLED EVERY 75 MILES TO REMAIN DRIVABLE.

THE BRAKES ON MY 2004 TOYOTA TUNDRA DOUBLE-CAB DO NOT WORK PROPERLY (AND NEVER HAVE). WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES MAKE A LOUD NOISE (NOT THE TYPICAL ANTI-LOCK BRAKE NOISE) AND DO NOT STOP EFFECTIVELY. I'VE ALMOST RAN INTO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I TOOK IT TO STEVINSON TOYOTA, BUT THEY SAID THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THEY WEREN'T. I TOOK IT PEP BOYS AND THEY REPLACED THE PADS & TURNED THE ROTORS. IT IS BETTER, BUT STILL BAD. I THINK I'LL GET RID OF THE TRUCK. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT WITH THIS BRAKE SITUATION ON THE TRUCK MODEL. *TR
