ON FEBRUARY 13, 2013 I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO SPRINGFIELD TOYOTA IN SPRINGFIELD VIRGINIA FOR SOME REPAIR WORK,BRAKES AND TO HAVE THE COIL PACK REPLACED. I ALSO ASKED THEM TO COMPLETE THE STATE OF VIRGINIA SAFETY INSPECTION, DURING THE SAFETY INSPECTION THE DEALER MECHANICS FOUND A HOLE IN THE FRAME UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER DOOR AND TOLD ME THAT MY TRUCK COULD NOT PASS THE SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THAT,AFTER PAYING THE DEALER OVER $2000 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIRS THAT THEY COMPLETED, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE BODYSHOP THAT THEY RECOMMENDED...THIS BODYSHOP TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME AT LEAST $1500 DOLLARS TO HAVE THEM CUT THE HOLE OUT AND WELD A PIECE OF METAL INTO THE FRAME...AFTER LEAVING THE BODYSHOP I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR RUSTY FRAMES AND THE CROSSMEMBER FOR THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER AND THE FUEL TANK STRAPS BUT THAT RECALL HAD EXPIRED ON DECEMBER 31 2012...LATER TOYOTA CORPORATE CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD FIX THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER,CROSSMEMBER AND FUEL TANK STRAPS ON 29 MARCH 2013 AT BILL PAGE TOYOTA IN FALLS CHURCH VIRGINIA AND TO GET BACK WITH THEM ON THE FRAME REPAIRS. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED AT SPRINGFIELD TOYOTA ON A REGULAR BASIS AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY RECALLS OR TSB'S ON MY TRUCK. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN ILLINIOS AND IT WAS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL FOR RUSTY FRAMES, I FEEL THAT THIS CONDITION CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR ALL MOTORIST ON THE ROAD WITH ME...TOYOTA NEEDS TO ISSUES A RECALL AND DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM IN GOOD FAITH. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A RUSTY FRAME...I WONDER HOW MANY OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES ARE OUT HERE DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND DO NOT KNOW IT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND IT HAS A PROBLEM THAT WHEN THE CAR GETS HOT THE ENGINE WILL STALL OUT AND DIE WITHOUT WARNING. IT CREATES NO OMD II ERRORS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER APPEARS. THE ECM FUSE BLOWS ON OCCASION BUT REPLACING IT DOES NOT LEAD TO A RUNNING VEHICLE. IT FAILS TO START UNTIL THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COOLS DOWN. THERE IS FIRE FROM THE SPARK PLUGS AND THERE IS FUEL PRESSURE IN THE FUEL RAIL. WE HAVE REPLACED ALL THE RELAYS AND FUSES IN THE ECM AND EFI CIRCUITS AND ALL FINGERS ARE NOW POINTING TO THE ECM CONTROLLER ITSELF. WE JUST CHANGED OUT THE FUEL PUMP AND ARE LOOKING AT REPLACEMENT OF ALL THE IGNITION COILS (8) AND ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS (8). BUT SINCE ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS SEAM TO BE WORKING THAT WOULD MAKE LITTLE SINCE. THE RECENT RECALL FOR THE ECM ON THE MATRIX & COROLLA INDICATE THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE MANUFACTURE OF ECM UNITS FOR A MUCH LONGER PERIOD OF TIME SINCE MY TUNDRA IS EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE FOR OVER 5 YEARS NOW AND THE TOYOTA DEALERS AND OTHER TOYOTA SPECIALTY SHOPS CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM SINCE THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES AND THE FACT THAT IT WILL START AND RUN FINE AFTER IT COOLS DOWN. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT TO DIE AND NOT START AT ALL TO HOPE TO FIND THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA, ACCESS CAB, 4WD TRUCK WITH 160,000 +/- MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO LIVED IN THE AKRON, OHIO AREA. I HAVE NOTICED SIGNIFICANT SECTION LOSS TO FRAME MEMBERS, CROSS MEMBERS AND CAB SUPPORTS. PRESENTLY, THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY PERFORATED ON THE UNDERNEATH SIDE NEAR THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR. ADDITIONALLY, THE PASSENGER MIDDLE CAB SUPPORT HAS CORRODED COMPLETELY OFF, THE FRONT DRIVERS CAB SUPPORT HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY AWAY AND THE FRONT BUMPER/IMPACT GUARD HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS TWO SEPARATE TIMES. THEY HAVE RESPONDED PROMPTLY ALL THREE TIMES; HOWEVER, THE ISSUE IS STILL BE INVESTIGATED AT THE "EXECUTIVE LEVEL". ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THE REAR BRAKE LINES AND THE FUEL TANK STRAP DUE TO FAILURE FROM CORROSION. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT MECHANICAL SHAPE AND BODY IS NEARLY FLAWLESS. I HAVE PHOTOS AVAILABLE. THE FRAME SEEMS TO BE MOST SEVERELY DETERIORATED AT THE BOXED SECTION NEAR THE TRANSMISSION SUPPORT CROSS MEMBER. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS (I.E. NOT TOWING/NO PAYLOAD) THIS WOULD LIKELY BE THE POINT IN THE STRUCTURE ASSOCIATED WITH MAXIMUM BENDING. DUE TO THE BOX DESIGN- IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO INSPECT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SECTION LOSS; ALTHOUGH, AS PREVIOUSLY STATED THE PASSENGER SIDE RAIL IS COMPLETELY PERFORATED ALONG THE UNDERNEATH SIDE. I CAN ATTEST THAT MY FATHER HAS A 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH NO DETERIORATION. IT IS UNCLEAR IF TOYOTA USED A DIFFERENT TREATMENT FOR THE LATER MODEL VEHICLES. MOST ALARMING TO ME, IS HOW QUICKLY Y THE CORROSION HAS PROGRESSED. SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER, THE CORROSION HAS PROGRESSED FROM A SURFACE RUST APPEARANCE INTO BUBBLING AND COMPLETE DETERIORATION.

I HAVE BEEN AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH EARLY MODEL TOYOTA TUNDRA FRAME RUST PROBLEMS AND HAVE FOLLOWED WITH INTEREST TOYOTA'S RESPONSE [NONE]HOWEVER, I FEEL OBLIGED TO INFORM YOU THAT ON FRIDAY 25TH THE GAS TANK STRAPS FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND THE GAS TANK FELL OF THE VEHICLE AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN SO THE CONSEQUENCES WERE LIMITED. BUT, 30 SECONDS EARLIER AT 55 MPH THIS MOST LIKELY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A LIMITED CONSEQUENCE SITUATION. *TR UPDATED IVOQ 06/30/10.

WHILE PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILER WITH OUR 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5-V8, WE LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON. AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE, WE SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, WE STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, FOUND WE HAD POWER, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE WAS STILL ON. WE DROVE ANOTHER 100 MILES TO OUT DESTINATION. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, WE STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON ANYMORE. WE HAD A COMPUTER CHECK RAN AND THE CODE P1121 CAME UP AND WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD REQUIRE AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK FOR 58 DAYS WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BUT WENT OFF AGAIN.

HIS TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES... WHEN I LOOKED UNDERNEATH I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH RUST IT HAD ON THE FRAME.. - I HAVE ABOUT 93K MILES ON MY TUNDRA'& WAS TOLD THAT MY FRAME IS RUSTING SO BAD I SHOULD CONSIDER TRADING IT IN OR SELLING' -I'M FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE & HAVE SERIOUS FRAME ROT. IT'S ROTTED THROUGH' I HAVE A 2000 W/83,000 MILES.' -I HAVE MORE RUST THAN I WOULD LIKE ON MY 2000 WITH 56K MILES' -I HAVE A 2000, W/44000 MILES & HAS JUST FAILED STATE INSP.
