The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 154,000.

• SERVICE BRAKES

  Soft pedal when braking goes nearly to floor before engaging. Repairs attempted flushing brakes, new brake fluid and new master cylinder at dealer still not fixed. Toyota wants to replace ABS actuator but cannot guarantee it will fix the problem. Many instances of this on Toyota and no solutions. Toyota is ignoring the problem.

• SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  Front Rotors purchased on Amazon warped in under 5,000 miles/3 months of normal highway and city driving conditions. Issue caused high vibrations in front end when braking from 40+ mph. Paired with new Wagner OEX pads when installed. Manufacturer’s Warranty period was 24,000 miles/2 years. Rear rotors also warped about 1,000 miles after front rotors did. Front rotors were turned/resurfaced at about 3,000 miles and warped again within 1,000 miles. Replaced with Raybestos high carbon steel rotors and ceramic pads and no issues since replacement (over a year).

• TIRES

  Tire size275/55/R20 Back Country AT2 had complete sidewall detachment while going 75 on free-way. Tires appeared to be in good condition prior to incident. There were no potholes or road conditions that contributed to incident. This nearly resulted in a freeway speed rollover.

• ENGINE

  Manufacture is aware that there is a massive issue with the timing cover sealant that is being used for vehicles. Not only is the robot that applies the sealant for the timing cover and results in oil leaks for the owner the dealerships are aware that is an massive issue and wants owners to pay for removal of the engine to reapply update sealant to stop oil from leaking that comes from the timing cover. This results is oil being leaked onto public roadways , property but also results in massive cost for owners to address in order to stop the leaks from occurring that could result in engine damage and failure of timing components.

• EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  At irregular intervals and at the most random of times my headlights will cut out (including dash lights & radio). It happened this morning driving to the airport but it has been months since it last happened. The road was smooth with no bumps that I recall. This has happened to me in the past while stopped at a stop sign as well.

• STEERING

  Vehicle has a leaking steering rack seal that when leaking does not give a warning. Vehicle loses power steering. Needs to be replenished regularly. Started out small, and was unaware of the issue. Started topping off the power steering fluid at around 24k miles (under warranty). A clunk in the suspension was diagnosed as a bad shock (bad diagnosis). Took it in to have the rack looked at by Toyota, but they will not remedy this issue, even though there are hundreds of people on the Internet with the same problem. I've never heard of a steering rack going bad before 100k miles, let alone before 30k.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  When using the turn signal to indicate turning direction at night, all lights shut off randomly, leaving you with no way to see where you're going. This includes all cabin lights so you can't find the switch to turn the lights back on. This happen regularly. This has been detailed here: https://www.tundras.com/threads/auto-headlights-shut-off-with-turn-signal.22968 It seems Toyota knows about this problem already, as well as the fix for it, but won't voluntarily recall the vehicles to address it.

• FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  Truck shuts down after running for about 2 minutes; As if the ignition switch was turned off while driving. I then have to wait about 30 seconds to restart the truck. The truck will not start immediately after shutting off. It acts like something has to reset to allow the truck to start. The truck will do the same thing idling in my driveway. It starts right up; Runs about 2 minutes and shuts off. After 30 seconds the truck will restart. This is a danger on the highway. I do not have remote start.

• VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES

  GEAR SHIFTER HANGS UP IN PARK, TOYOTA WANTED $1,000.00 TO REPLACE TOTAL GEAR-SHIFTER THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

• VISIBILITY/WIPER

  THE BOLT FOR THE WIPER BLADE ON THE DRIVER SIDE LOOSENS UP MAKING THE WIPER INOPERABLE AND BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS.
