ALSO MY 08 TUNDRA JUST LIKE MY 03 TOYOTA SEQUOIA HAS THE PAINT COMING OFF THE HOOD AND VERY TOP OF TRUCK INCLUDING CHIPPING AND PAIN COMING OFF AND CLEAR COAT, HAS TO BE BAD PAINT THERE USING.
TRUCK STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD ROARING NOISE AT SPEED 50 MPH AND OVER. THE RIGHT WHEEL BEARING AND HUB ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. TOYOTA HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAD LESS THEN 30,000 MILES ON IT.
BED RUST. *TR
MY TUNDRA WAS MAKING SCRAPING NOISES WHEN TURNING. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO TOYOTA FOR SERVICE TO FIND OUT THE REAR BEARINGS ON BOTH SIDES WERE RUSTING OUT AND THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED. SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID HE CALLED TOYOTA ALREADY EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY HAD LONG PASSED. HE STATED THAT TOYOTA HAD INCREASED THE WARRANTY ON THE BEARINGS TO A 5 YEAR/65,000 MILES. TOYOTA DID PAY ABOUT 1/4 TH OF THE COST. SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY KNOW THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BEARING BUT NOT WILLING TO COVER THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD BEARING ISSUES ON ANY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED. I DRIVE MOST OF MY VEHICLES FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS OR MORE. THUS ONE OF THE REASONS I BUY TOYOTAS. NOT SURE IF THAT WILL BE TRUE ANY LONGER. *TR

THE DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, HOWEVER, THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE WASHED TO REMOVE THE MUD AND ICE BEFORE TRAVELING. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE IN THE AREA IN WHICH HE RESIDED AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE.

ON MY 2008 TUNDRA WHILE PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILER ON OCCASION THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS. THE LAST OCCASION WAS WHILE ON A RETURN TRIP A LITTLE OVER HALF WAY BACK HOME THE LIGHTS CAME ON AFTER A BRIEF STOP. AFTER ABOUT TWO DAYS THE LIGHTS GO OUT. THIS IS THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE I HAD A AFTER MARKET OILED AIR FILTER ON THE TRUCK IT WAS CONTAMINATING THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, AND REFUSED ANY FURTHER SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE MODIFICATION, AND SAID THAT THERE WERE NOT ANY CODES IN THE HISTORY OF IT HAPPENING BEFORE. AFTER GETTING BACK HOME I PULLED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR OUT AND THERE WAS NOT THE FIRST BIT OF OIL RESIDUE AT ALL ON THE SENSOR. I BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY DID NOT WANT TO GO IT ANY FURTHER AND TO JUST BLAME IT ON THE AFTER MARKET AIR FILTER WHICH HAS PROVEN TO NOT CAUSE THE PROBLEM. *TR
WE WERE OUT OF TOWN WHEN 3 LIGHTS ON THE DASH APPEARED. TRACTION , ENGINE AND VSB. NO DEALERSHIP IN TOWN WHERE WE WERE. MY HUSBAND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND IT RESET. DIDN'T SEE THE LIGHTS FOR THREE WEEKS, JUST CAME BACK ON AFTER SITTING UP ALL NIGHT. DEALERSHIP SAID $600, THANK GOODNESS I GOT EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHEN YOU ACCELERATED TO 30MPH IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT RIGHT. AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 60MPH. *TR

SUDDEN ACCELERATION ON MY 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP, KEPT GETTING FASTER AND FASTER TURNED KEY OFF TO STOP. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY PUT A SHIM ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND THEN TEST DROVE THE TRUCK AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD ONLY NOTE MY ACCOUNT AND WILL NOT INVESTIGATE PROBLEM. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NO ONE WILL LOOK INTO THE VEHICLE COMPUTER TO SEE WHAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE SO FAST. WHY IT GOT WORSE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES? TOYOTA IS TOTALLY NOT TAKEN THIS SERIOUS AT ALL. *DT
I HAVE A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2008, WILL LEAVING THE BANK, I WAS SLOWLY APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME ALREADY WAITING AT THE STOP SIGN. I TRIED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE, AND THE FLOOR MAT CAME UP OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL, RESTRICTING ME FROM FULLY PRESSING DOWN THE PEDAL. I COULD NOT STOP, I TURNED MY TRUCK TO RUN INTO THE CURB AND NOT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I HIT THE CURB AND RAN UP ON THE SIDE WALK. WHILE MOVING SLOWLY I QUICKLY REMOVED THE MAT FROM OVER THE PEDAL, AND BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. NO ONE WAS INJURED, NO DAMAGE TO ANY PROPERTY. NOW I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA TODAY COINCIDENTLY ASKING ME TO TURN IN MY TRUCK FOR RECALL. *TR
THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. WHEN I GOT IN TO GO TO WORK IN THE MORNING SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE SLIP, BRAKE, 4X4 HI AND LO, VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL, AND LSD LIGHTS STAYED ON UNTIL I STOPPED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE LIGHTS WERE OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. TWO OTHER TIMES THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AND STAYED ON UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCELERATION ISSUE. ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING ON A DRY ROAD THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED AND TOOK THE POWER OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ON BOTH OCCASION WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AT LESS THAN 30 MPH. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAULT. *TR
AS I ARRIVED AT MY HOME AND DROVE UP INTO MY DRIVEWAY I EXPERIENCED AN UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION ON MY 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA THAT MADE ME REACT TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SLIDE ON AN UNPAVED (DIRT) SURFACE IN MY YARD AND SLIDE INTO THE TRUNK OF A PINE TREE AND DAMAGING THE FRONT BUMPER TO MY TRUCK. I HEARD ON THE NEWS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FLOOR MATS ON THIS VEHICLE TO BE REMOVED IF IT DID NOT HAVE CLIPS TO HOLD THE MAT IN PLACE. MY TRUCK DOES HAVE THE CLIPS TO HOLD THE MAT IN PLACE AND PREVENTS THE ACCELERATION PEDAL FROM GETTING LODGED WITH THE MAT. I DO BELIEVE THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY AN UNKNOWN DEFECT AND NOT THE FLOOR MAT. CURRENTLY, THE FLOOR MAT REMAINS IN PLACE ON ITS CLIPS WITHOUT INTERFERENCE TO THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. TODAY, I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA TO REMOVE THE FLOOR MAT, THEREFORE, I WILL. AGAIN I DON'T BELIEVE THE FLOOR MAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I JUST WANT THIS COMPLAINT DOCUMENTED BECAUSE IT CAUSED AROUND $500 WORTH OF DAMAGED TO MY TRUCK. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
