Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2011 Toyota Tundra. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was 147,497, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 275,143.

Horn stopped working right after I bought this truck from a dealer. I did some research on why it stopped. I was told and also read that it was the air bag clock spring. This controls the air bags and horn and other components. What it is the clock spring was installed by Toyota that had a bad spot on it. This causes the wiring harness to start rubbing and cutting into the wires. Would cause the horn to stop working and the air bags not to work and other things that is wired to this harness also. This should be a safety concern, and Toyota needs to recall to fix. Read that the 2011 Toyota's was bad for doing this. Costing the customer about $800.00 to fix. I have the truck about 3 months. Might be the reason it was traded in. Works some times and doesn't work. I am worried the air bags will deploy if not fixed. Please check into this. I would like to know what you find out before I spend the money to get it fixed On Social Security and don't have that much money in hand to have fixed.

Paint prematurely chipping in areas that’s would and would not be affected by wind down to bare metal.

Extensive rust and rot of entire frame, and undercarriage. The truck bed unsafe to walk on has several soft spots almost broken through, gas tank holder rusted out- worry about gas tank dropping from frame, tow hitch and rear bumper rot etc. Side step fell off. Toyota has a Service Campaign and Warranty Enhancement Program for Tundra but not this year- built 9/2010 San Antonio but listed as 2011 model on VIN. I am original registered owner and have never been contacted about this factory failure use of inferior untreated frame materials but learned about it from internet research. Would like my vehicle covered under current Service Campaign.

On 11/25/22 I meet with American Auto Mall to buy a used truck I was assured through text, website and window sticker that the truck was in excellent condition inside and out.. I have all this documents proofing this.. I did van limited inspection at the lot and a test drive.. found nothing that stuck out.. other than the radio not working but the dealership said he would reimburse me if I got it fixed..so after that a down payment was made of $5550 dollars and paperwork was signed.. I drove the truck home and the next week I got in it and it wouldn't start, turns out it needed a battery and alternator, so I took it to a shop and was told that this vehicle was badly rusted and had a lot of hidden rust damage.. and improperly installed brakes., coolant leaks and exhaust leaks.. after finding this out I tried to call the dealership and he hasn't been replying.. I was also told this truck wouldn't pass a legal VA inspection.. so the current one was fraudulent I have all documents that support my case. I will like to turn this vehicle back in and given a full refund

WHEN ENGAGING BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP IF MY FOOT IS TO THE RIGHT ON THE PEDAL THE SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL TO CONTINUES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR THUS CAUSING ME TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE WHEN I NEED TO STOP, VERY DANGEROUS.

Horn siren is not being activated when pressed by center switch on steering wheel. After researching many tundra message boards, this appears to be a frequent problem amongst tundra owners. Incident: vehicle in front of me at drivethru backed into me when they thought they were in drive after repositioning themselves for mic. I was not able to beep my horn and warn them. Luckily no damage occurred.

LIKE MANY OTHERS ON HERE, MY TRUCK BED AND STRUCTURE HAS RUSTED OVER CERTAIN SUPPORTS FROM THE BOTTOM UP. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A TOPPER SINCE IT WAS NEW, AND IT HAS NOW DEVELOPED HEAVY RUST UNDER THE PAINT IN THE FRONT CORNERS OVER A BRACE. THERE ARE MANY FORUM ENTRIES AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

2011 TOYOTA TUNDRA REAR LEAF SPRING.PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING BROKE AND THE PIECE FELL OFF THE TRUCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. CAR BEHIND ME FLAGGED ME DOWN TO LET ME KNOW THAT IT FELL OFF THE TRUCK AND THEY ALMOST RAN IT OVER. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I STILL HAVE THE PIECE OF THE LEAF SPRING.

THE LENS COVER ON VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT CLEAR AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF USE, THEY ARE BECOMING FOGGED OVER BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND THE SAND FROM OTHER VEHICLES GOING DOWN THE ROAD SANDBLAST THEM. THIS CAUSES THE HEADLIGHT TO NOT PROJECT THE LIGHT DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OUT DRIVE THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS CAN CAUSE VEHICLE ACCIDENTS AND PEDESTRIAN INVOLVED ACCIDENTS. THEY USED TO BE MADE FROM GLASS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED. THANK YOU.

TOYOTAS EXPLANTION... THEY COULDNT/WOULDNT PROVIDE ME ONE BUT DID FIX MY PROBLEM AS THE FRICTION SANDED DOWN INTO THE ROTOR AND SHOCK ABSORBER HANGER!! NOT SURE IF OTHER FOLKS HAVE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE?? I DID ENCOUTER ANOTHER FELLOW (MY SON) WHOM HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AT 250,000 MILES ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WITH A TOYOTA TUNDRA 2012 HE OWNED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS TO WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE IS!! I FELT LIKE TOYOTA TOOK CARE OF ME REPAIR WISE BUT NEVER GOT A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM THEM ON THE CAUSE!! I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR AGENCY AND ITS RESOURCES LOOKING INTO WHAT IS CAUSING THIS DANGEROUS CONDTION
