I PURCHASED A 2014 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN NOVEMBER 2013. IN MARCH 2014, WITH 2,248 MILES ON THE TRUCK, I WENT TO LEAVE WORK AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT RODENTS HAD CHEWED THROUGH TWO WIRING HARNESSES (E.G., #7 COIL, TEMP SENSOR AND THE ACTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER), ONE OF WHICH WAS THE MAIN WIRE HARNESS. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT START. IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN OPERATION (WITH MOSTLY CHEWED THROUGH WIRING) THE WIRING COULD HAVE BECOME LOOSE AND THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE LOST STEERING, BRAKES, OR OTHER CRITICALLY IMPORTANT SAFETY FUNCTIONS MAY HAVE CEASED TO WORK. THE END RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH, FIRE, INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH. USING A SOY BASED PRODUCT TO COAT THE WIRES IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH MUST BE CORRECTED. ALTHOUGH THE INTENT WAS TO UTILIZE A MORE ECOLOGICALLY FRIENDLY INSULATION MATERIAL, THE DESIGN ENGINEERS OMITTED TO CONSIDER THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE ECOLOGICALLY FRIENDLY INSULATION MATERIAL TO RODENTS (E.G., SQUIRRELS, MICE, AND RABBITS), THE RODENTS ARE COMMON IN MOST RESIDENTIAL AREAS IN THE UNITED STATES, AND THE RODENTS COULD EASILY DAMAGE THE WIRES. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER (STAPP INTERSTATE TOYOTA SCION OF FREDERICK COLORADO) SERVICE MANAGER, TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER, TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC. CUSTOMER RELATIONS ADMINISTRATOR, AND TOYOTA MOTOR SALES REGIONAL CUSTOMERFIRST MANAGER. EACH TIME TOYOTA IS DENYING OWNERSHIP OF THEIR DEFECTIVE WIRES AND THE SAFETY-RELATED NEED TO CORRECT THEM. *TR

THE IS AN A/C AND HEATER ISSUE OR HOW ITS VENTING. I'LL HAVE THE SETTINGS TO POINT THE THE FLOOR YET ITS STILL COMING OUT OF THE FRONT VENTS. ITS JUST ANNOYING. ALSO THE BACK SEAT DOESN'T GET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURES WHILE THE FRONT SEATS ARE EITHER FREEZING OR BURNING UP, DEPENDING ON THE SEASON.

I PURCHASED A 2014 TOYOTA TUNDRA ON 02/04/14. I HAD DRIVEN THE TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES AND ON 02/10/14, WITH 236 MILES, I STARTED THE TRUCK TO GO TO WORK. I WENT BACK IN MY HOUSE, AS THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 0 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND ALLOWED THE TRUCK TO RUN FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I RETURNED TO MY TRUCK AND LEFT FOR WORK. AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK ENTERED "LIMP MODE." I WAS NOT FAR FROM WORK SO I CONTINUED TO WORK, DRIVING AT A MAX SPEED OF 40 MPH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. ON 2/12/14 I PICKED THE TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN AIP (AIR INJECTION PUMP) FAILURE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE IS NO FIX, AND THE PROBLEM COULD HAPPEN AGAIN IN COLD CLIMATE. AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE, I GOT NOWHERE. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A FIX IN THE WORKS, BUT FOR NOW I AM LEFT WITH A TRUCK THAT MAY GO INTO LIMP MODE WHEN IT IS COLD OUT. LIVING IN THE NORTH EASTERN UNITED STATES, IT IS COLD HERE FROM OCTOBER TO MID-MARCH. IF THIS TRUCK WERE TO SUDDENLY ENTER LIMP MODE WHEN I AM ATTEMPTING TO ASCEND A HILL, THIS COULD PRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE TO MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS, AS I WOULD SEVERELY BE IMPEDING THE SAFE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, GOING 10 MPH UPHILL, WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A WARNING. I FEEL THE SUDDEN REDUCTION IN POWER COULD GREATLY REDUCE THE OPERATORS ABILITY TO SAFELY OPERATE THE TRUCK, ESPECIAL WHEN NEGOTIATING TRAFFIC. IT IS EXTREMELY DISHEARTENING TO ME TO KNOWING THAT I BOUGHT A $39,000 TRUCK, TOUTED AS BEING AMONG THE MOST RELIABLE AND DEPENDABLE, THAT MAY OR MAY NOT RUN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE FALLS..AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH TOYOTA, THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM.. *TR

2/17/2014

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,400.

RECEIVED TOYOTA URGENT SAFETY RECALL LETTER FOR DEFECTIVE SIDE CURTAIN-SHIELD-AIRBAGS (CSA) ON 11/7/14. CONTACTED MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TODAY (11/10/14) TO SCHEDULE INSPECTION AND GARNISH REPLACEMENT, AS NECESSARY. HAD TO SPEAK TO FOUR SERVICE REPS BEFORE TALKING TO [XXX], SERVICE DEPT. MGR. HE INFORMED ME THEY DON'T HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS RECALL AND THAT LETTERS HAVE GONE OUT ALREADY SIMPLY TO "BEAT" THE PRESS. NO PARTS AVAILABILITY DATE WAS OFFERED. THEY WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE BUT EXPECT THE CUSTOMER TO MAKE A SECOND TRIP TO SHOP WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE ACTUALLY AVAILABLE. CLASSIC EXAMPLE, IN OUR OPINION, HOW MUCH THESE RECALLS HAVE BECOME A GAME BETWEEN CAR MANUFACTURERS AND OVERSIGHT AGENCIES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

11/10/2014

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE DRIVING 73 MPH, ALL THE SIDE AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

ANTI LOCK BRAKES DID NOT LET ME STOP WHEN REVERSING DOWN HILL BECAUSE OF LOOSE GRAVEL. *TR

1/13/2015

THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN FULLY APPLIED, BEGAN FAILING TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TWICE BY THE DEALER. THE PARKING BRAKE PETAL WHILE FULLY PRESSED TO THE FLOOR, DOES NOT APPEAR STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE, ESPECIALLY WHEN PARKED ON A HILL. THE DEALER TRIED TO ADJUST THE PARKING BRAKE TIGHTER DURING A WARRANTY REPAIR ON 7/25/2015 . AS A RESULT, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS READJUSTED AGAIN BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY TO IT'S NORMAL POSITION. THE PARKING BRAKE CONTINUES TO FAIL TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PLACE.

BOTH FRONT AND REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRES BLEW OUT MICHELIN XTS MS 2 255 70 18. ALSO AT 1500 MILES FRONT WINDSHIELD COMPLETELY ACROSS THE BOTTOM OF SHIELD. *TR

WHEN BACKING OUT OF GAS STATION, PASSENGER SIDE TIRE FELL OFF COMPLETELY FROM ROTOR. ON THE ROTOR CHROME LIKE PIECES OF LUG NUT RETAINED ON. REMAINING LUG-NUTS WHERE INSIDE TIRE WELL. WHEN TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO ORIGINAL PURCHASE DEALERSHIP THEY DID NOT CLAIM NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL ON LUGNUTS WITH OUR TRUCK. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO PAY FOR COST ASSOCIATED WITH DEFECTED ITEM AND REFUSING TO FIX OR ADDRESS

DRIVING AT 60 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE. FELT WOBBLY . THE KIND OF FEELING WHEN DRIVING ON FLAT TIRES. DID NOT STOP EVEN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN HAD TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER. WOBBLING INTENSIFIED AS I DROVE. PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ON JANUARY 1ST (THREE TIMES IN ONE NIGHT) AND ON JANUARY 25TH 2015. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA. CASE NUMBER IS [XXX]. THEIR RESPONSE IS THEY HAVE NO WAY OF LETTING ME KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE OR IF THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW REFERENCES TO THAT PROBLEM ONLINE DATING WAY BACK AS 2007. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL WOOD PORTION IS STARTING TO CRACK IN 2 DIFFERENT PLACES. ASKED TOYOTA SERVICES IF THEY HAD EVER SEEN ONE CRACKING. ANSWER WAS NO. ONLY REMEDY IS CHANGE THE STEERING WHEEL ($$)

7/14/2016

THE ABOVE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 07/06/2014 AT ABOUT 2100 HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME, WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY FIVE MILES AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY AND ON 07/07/2014 RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A POOL OF FLUID UNDER THE PARKED VEHICLE. UPON EXAMINATION I FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE HAD LEAKED A LARGE AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (FRONTIER TOYOTA VALENCIA CA.) I WAS CONTACTED LATER THAT SAME DAY AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A FAULTY TRANSMISSION SEAL WHICH ALLOWED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD LOST TEN OUNCES OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN ANY DISTANCE WITH THE ABOVE DESCRIBED LEAK THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE LEAKED OUT ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING THE POTENTIAL FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE, LOSS OF CONTROL FROM LEAKING FLUIDS ON TIRES OR POSSIBLE FIRE FROM OVERHEATED FLUIDS ON HOT EXHAUST AND OR ENGINE PARTS/. *TR

7/10/2014

WHEN YOU FIRST START THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, WITHIN 20 SECONDS AT ANY SPEED, A LOUD PING/METAL HITTING METAL SOUND COMES FROM THE REAR GEAR DIFFERENTIAL BOX. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME AT ANY TAKEOFF SPEED. TOYOTA AND MY DEALER DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM.

7/29/2015

I WAS CARRYING AN OLD BATTERY ON THE TRUCK BED AND THE BATTERY LEAKS SO THE FLUID SPILLED OVER MY FUEL TANK AND BURN/CORRODE THE VACUUM AND GAS LINES. I THINK THE FUEL TANK SHOULD BE PROTECTED WITH AN UPPER SKILL PLATE BECAUSE IS A TRUCK AND YOU ALWAYS CARRY DIFFERENT THINGS AND THIS IS KIND OF EXPOSE OR DRAIN HOLES OF THE BED ARE NOT LOCATED PROPERLY, SO THEY WANNA CHARGE ME 2K DLS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A BAD DESIGN PROBLEM.

6/11/2019

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A FUEL ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF SANFORD (3321 HWY 87, SOUTH SANFORD, NC 27332) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINES FAILED DUE TO MATERIAL DETERIORATION, WHICH CAUSED FUEL TO LEAK ONTO AND AROUND THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 190927-1657. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.*DT *TR

3/20/2014

THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AS OF YET BUT COULD TURN INTO ONE. I BOUGHT A NEW TUNDRA 2014 IN JAN. 2014 FROM COMMUNITY TOYOTA IN BAYTOWN, TEXAS. THE VERY FIRST TIME I GET IN THE TRUCK TO COME HOME THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD FOR ME. THE SALESMAN GOT THE SERVICE PEOPLE TO LOOK AT IT AND HE FOOLED WITH IT TILL IT STARTED TO MOVE. AFTER BRINGING THE TRUCK HOME I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE SEAT TO MOVE AGAIN. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THAT IT LOOKED NORMAL TO HIM. THE SERVICE MANAGER CAME OUT AND SAID THAT THEY HAD ME A NEW SEAT ORDERED AND WOULD NOTIFY US WHEN IT CAME IN. THAT WAS IN FEB.2014. IN MAY THEY SAID IT WOULD BE HERE AROUND THE 27TH. ON JUNE 20TH I CALLED AND THEY SAID IT WAS THERE. WE TOOK IT DOWN TO THE DEALER AT 9 AM AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 5 HOURS. WHEN WE CAME BACK MY HUSBAND WENT OUT TO TEST THE SEAT AND IT STILL DIDN'T MOVE FREELY. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THIS NORMAL FOR THIS TRUCK. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MAN THE NEXT MORNING. HE SAID THAT THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE ON THESE TRUCKS TO KEEP THE DRIVER FROM BEING THROWN INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS WHAT SEAT BELTS WERE FOR? HE SAID THAT HE WOULD GO DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CHECK OUT SOME OF THE TRUCKS THERE BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM HIM AND THAT WAS ON JUNE 24TH. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE SEAT HANDLE BAR ON THE TUNDRA HAD TO BE GRABBED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BAR. THAT THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO MOVE. MY HUSBAND IS NOT DISABLED SO HE CAN GRAB IT IN THE MIDDLE AND IT STILL WILL NOT WORK. BECAUSE OF MY DISABILITY I CAN'T REACH BETWEEN MY LEGS TO GRAB THE BAR THERE. I WALK WITH A CANE AND AM HAVING A HIP REPLACEMENT SOON. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD CHECK OUT OUR TRUCK PERSONALLY THE NEXT TIME WE WHERE IN TOWN. WE LIVE 2 HOURS AWAY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS TROUBLE. *TR

VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF GAS (ENGINE REVVED) AND ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN CAUSING VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT DURING WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS AND SENT VEHICLE SMASHING INTO CEMENT BARRIER. VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN SINCE DRIVING OFF LOT IN NOVEMBER, 2016. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, BUT IT'S CLEARLY AN ACCELERATION ISSUE. I'VE ALSO TESTED THIS AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT NEARLY 1.5 MILES FROM MY HOME, MOSTLY UP HILL WITHOUT EVEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. IN ADDITION, MY REAR TIRES SPIN WHEN IN DRIVE WHEN ON SNOW OR ICE WHEN NOT ENGAGING THE GAS PEDAL. ENGINE REVS WHILE THIS HAPPENS, AS IT DID DURING MY COLLISION. TOYOTA CURRENTLY HAS VEHICLE AND ADVISED THAT THIS CASE WAS ESCALATED TO CORPORATE DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

1/24/2017

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL) WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THROTTLE CONTROL CHANGED. THE TRUCK WOULD RANDOMLY THROTTLE WITHOUT PUSHING ON THE PEDAL. ADDITIONALLY, IF I PUT THE PEDAL DOWN THE TRUCK COULDN'T GET BEYOND 60MPH GOING UP A HILL. HOWEVER, GOING DOWN HILLS THE TRUCK WAS THROTTLING ON ITS OWN AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO ATTAIN A SPEED OF 70MPH EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T ON OR EVEN FUNCTIONING (AT THIS POINT I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY). IF I BRAKED THE THROTTLING WOULD STOP; HOWEVER, WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRUCK WOULD CONTINUE TO THROTTLE. WHEN I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN WAS RANDOMLY THROTTLING. I DISENGAGED THE BATTERY THINKING THAT POSSIBLY REBOOTING THE TRUCKS COMPUTER WOULD HELP. I STARTED THE TRUCK IN PARK AND IMMEDIATELY THE RPMS INCREASED AS IF SOMEONE HAD THERE FOOT FULLY DECOMPRESSING THE PEDAL. I KNOW TOYOTA HAD RECALLS ON THEIR VEHICLES BUT APPARANTLY NOT ON THE 2014 TUNDRA MODEL. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE TRUCK ISSUE THAT LUCKILY OCCURRED IN A RURAL SETTING. I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR TWO DAYS AND DROVE THE TRUCK AROUND THE 4 MILE BLOCK. INITIALLY THE TRUCK DROVE NORMAL FOR THE FIRST TWO MILES. BY MILE 3 IT WAS UNCONTROLLABLY THROTTLING. THE THROTTLING DID NOT STOP THIS TIME EVEN WHEN HOLDING DOWN THE BRAKES BUT LUCKILY THE BRAKES ARE AT LEAST GOOD ENOUGH TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 TOYOTA TUNDRA, AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A VIEW OF THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW, CAUSING REDUCED VISIBILITY AND THEREFORE INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF ACCIDENTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEIR ACTION IS PUT MY REMARKS ON FILE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FITTED WITH A MIRROR THAT IS LARGE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A VIEW OF THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW. THE MIRROR APPEARS TO BE THE SAME SIZE AS A STANDARD CAR MIRROR. ARE THERE NO STANDARDS THAT REGULATE THE SIZE OF MIRRORS IN RELATION TO THE WIDTH OF THE REAR WINDOW? *TR

2014 TUNDRA 1794 EDITION PURCHASED NEW IN MAY 2014 HAS APPROXIMATELY 9400 MILES. THE DASHBOARD IS WARPED & SINKING ALONG LENGTH OF WINDSHIELD. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE OVER TIME. MANUFACTURER STATES THIS DEFECT IS WITHIN SPECIFICATION WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES. THE DASHBOARD HAS SANK SO MUCH THAT THERE IS AN IMPRINT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN DASHBOARD THAT IS VISIBLE DUE TO WARPING & SAGGING OF DASHBOARD. I AM CONCERNED IT MAY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IF THE SINKING AND WARPING OF THE DASHBOARD WERE TO CONTINUE. TOYOTA HAD PAST ISSUES WITH WARPED DASHBOARDS ON EARLIER MODELS OF TUNDRA AND HAD ISSUED TSB'S (TSB-0391-09-IMPROVED A-PILLAR GARNISH) IN RESPONSE. IT APPEARS THIS DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN FULLY ADDRESSED AS THEY STATE OTHER NEW TUNDRA'S THEY INSPECTED ON DEALERSHIP LOT HAVE THE SAME WARPED & SINKING DASHBOARD. ADDITIONALLY, A PLASTIC PART ON STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED AFFECTING STEERING AND OPERATION OF VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER (TOYOTA) STATES THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE VEHICLE AND HAS SUGGESTED I PURSUE ARBITRATION UNDER LEMON LAW FOR THE VEHICLE. AT THIS STAGE, ALL I AM ASKING FOR IS FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER (TOYOTA) REFUSES TO DO SO DESPITE KNOWING FULL WELL THERE IS A HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

JANUARY, 2018, DRIVERS SEAT BELT SETS OFF ALARM WHEN DRIVING. PASSENGERS SIDE SEAT BELT WINT CONNECT AT ALL. THIS STARTED SUNDAY, 1/13/19.

MY 2014 TOYOTA TUNDRA (1794) HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT/PERIODIC LOSS OF FRONT HEADLIGHTS (AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING),INSTRUMENT LIGHTING AND RADIO AND NAVIGATION SIMULTANEOUS REBOOTING, WHEN TURNING ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL. IN MOST OCCASIONS, EVERYTHING RESTORES ONCE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AUTOMATICALLY STOPS ONCE TURN IS COMPETED. AT TIMES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER OCCURRENCE BUT MOST OF THE TIME I AM NOT ABLE TO. THIS CREATES AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT IN AREAS NOT WELL LIT AS YOU EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ABILITY TO SEE PEDESTRIANS, OBJECTS AND ROAD WHEN ENTERING AND GOING THROUGH THE TURN. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER (UNIVERSAL TOYOTA - SAN ANTONIO, TX), THEY STATED THEY TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE UNSAFE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME. THE SAME EVENING IT WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WHICH I WAS ABLE TO RECORD. IN LOOKING AT ONLINE FORUMS, THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN TO MANY TOYOTA OWNERS, ALL EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES AND ALL STATING TOYOTA DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND RETURNED THE UNSAFE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION TO THE RADIO AND NAVIGATION REBOOTING AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THE RADIO AND NAVIGATION ALSO REBOOTS RANDOMLY AND BECAUSE THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPLICATE WHEN I TAKE IT IN, NOTHING GETS FIXED (HAVE VIDEO OF THAT AS WELL). I WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED TO VERIFY I HAD THE LATEST UPDATE (WHICH I DID) AND THEN WAS TOLD THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH PEOPLE WITH IPHONES. THIS IS ALSO A KNOWN PROBLEM ON MANY ONLINE FORUMS WITH THE SAME RESOLUTION BY TOYOTA - DID NOTHING. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COMPROMISE THEIR SAFETY (LIGHTS GOING OUT AT NIGHT) NOR SHOULD THEY WAIT UNTIL WARRANTIES ARE EXPIRED TO THEN HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO CORRECT WELL KNOWN SIMILAR PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED BY TOYOTA OWNERS,

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2014 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while comparing the real Carfax to the fake Carfax provided by the private seller, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The private seller also provided a fake vehicle title, which allowed the vehicle to be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Additionally, the original seller of the vehicle confirmed the mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase and registration, the vehicle mileage was 111,000, but it was later discovered that the mileage was 230,000.

4/10/2025

purchased a 2014 toyota tundra on Facebook Marketplace from an individual on 4/27/2025 The seller represented the mileage as 88,461 miles, but after reviewing the vehicle history through Carfax/AutoCheck, I discovered that the actual mileage is significantly higher. The odometer appears to have been rolled back. I have filed a police report regarding this fraud and am submitting this complaint to report the tampering. I have supporting documentation including the listing, communication with the seller, and the vehicle history report.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Tundra. The contact observed that an object was hanging down from the rear wheel well on the driver's side. The contact inspected and saw that the rear fuel tank strap had rusted and detached from the frame. The contact stated that part of the fuel tank was resting on the skid plate. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

I purchased the truck thinking it had 80k miles it’s was misrepresented by the dealer I got it from in reality it should’ve been 280k miles. I don’t have the money to go after them as I spent it on the truck and timing chains as well as some other repairs. They will likely flee the country if they find out I was to go after them anyway

Airflow into the hood bulge strained the thinly built brackets causing them to break and subsequently causes the bulge to pop loose when driving.
