NHTSA complaint #10011903 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY/FIREWALL FRACTURED AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SHIFT THE MANUAL TRANS. THE TRUCK COULD NOT BE PLACED IN FIRST GEAR WITHOUT TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND TAKING ALL PRESSURE OFF OF THE DRIVETRAIN. IT BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNSHIFT GEARS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. I INFORMED TOYOTA OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY DENIED THERE HAD EVER BEEN A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY REDESIGNED A BACKING PLATE WHERE THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY ATTACHES TO THE FIREWALL. I HAVE INSTALLED THE BACKING PLATE BUT THE FIREWALL REMAINS CRACKED. DT
NHTSA complaint #770249 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
THE FAILURE OF THIS BRACKET (FRACTURED AT TOP LEFT CORNER) PREVENTED COMPLETE DISENGAGEMENT OF THE ENGINE FROM TRANSMISSION, MAKING STOPPING DIFFICULT, NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION, THIS FAILURE RESULTED IN THE INABILITY TO START THE VEHICLE, AS THE SAFETY START SWITCH CAN NO LONGER BE OPERATED BY DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. AS A TEMPORARY FIX, I HAD TO JUMP OUT THE SWITCH TO USE THE VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS COULD BE MADE. THE NEW BRACKET IS DIFFERENT IN DESIGN FROM THE ORIGINAL, INDICATING THAT TOYOTA RECOGNIZES THE FAULT WITH THE ORIGINAL UNIT. DT

NHTSA complaint #564932 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
THE FIREWALL FLEXES WHEN I PUSH IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL MAKING THE TRUCK DIFFICULT TO SHIFT. ADDITIONALLY, THE START SWITCH ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET DOESN'T ENGAGE WITH THE APPLICATION OF NORMAL PRESSURE TO THE CLUTCH PEDAL MAKING IT NECESSARY FOR ME TO REACH UNDER THE DASH TO START THE ENGINE. THIS IS HAZARDOUS, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES I OVERRIDE A SAFETY SWITCH MANUALLY IN ORDER TO START MY VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 1.5 YEARS AGO, I HAD TO REPLACE A CLUTCH AND MASTER CYLINDER CAUSED BY THIS POORLY DESIGNED AND SUPPORTED CLUTCH PEDAL. MY FIREWALL ON THE ENGINE SIDE OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS CRACKED AND DOES NOT ADEQUATELY SUPPORT MY CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET.

NHTSA complaint #8012787 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
THIS BRACKET COULD ONLY FAIL FROM DEFECT IN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE. IT IS THE PIVOT POINT FOR THE CLUTCH PEDAL SO IF IT BREAKS YOU CANNOT SHIFT GEARS BUT WILL REMAIN IN GEAR AND NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO NEUTRAL. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE THIS PART IF IT EVER FAILS AS IN THIS CASE IT IS A FAILURE IN DESIGN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE EQUIVALENT PART FAIL IN ANY VEHICLE REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE OR ABUSE. THE TOYOTA DEALER STOCKS THIS ITEM SO FAILURE CAN'T BE ALL THAT RARE. THIS COMPONENT IS MOST LIKELY USED IN TOYOTA TUNDRA PICKUPS ALSO. THE DEALER ALSO STOCKS THE BRACKET OF SIMILAR FUNCTION FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL! ONCE MORE A PART THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL. THE PROBABILITY OF DAMAGE FROM AN ACCIDENT TO THIS COMPONENT WOULD BE SMALL DUE TO IT'S LOCATION MOUNTED TO THE VEHICLE FIREWALL AND UNDER THE DASH. THE BRACKET I REMOVED HAS NUMEROUS STRESS CRACKS IN IT AND IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION.
