Not sure how long the paint has been peeling on the truck, but the truck is immaculate except for the peeling paint. The paint was peeling at time of purchase, and we were told by dealer that it was covered as Toyota had issues with their white paint. After purchase, we were told that Toyota wouldn't cover it. The peeling paint is not localized to one spot but peeling on every panel. It is peeling off the top and all sides. The vehicle has always been stored under cover. We have never had a vehicle peel as this and have inquired with a few body shops that relate it to manufacturer defect and that the entire truck will have to be stripped and repainted to correct the problem. There were several models of Toyotas during 2014 that had the white paint related issues that Toyota corrected. Not sure, why the white paint on the Tundra’s wasn't included as it clearly has the same problems. After internet searching and speaking with dealers, this is a widespread issue. The truck is available for inspection. Peeling paint can pose several safety issues, especially with children. It also will cause premature aging of the vehicle making it more susceptible to rust and deterioration. The problem has been inspected and confirmed with a dealer.

I bought my 2014 Toyota Tundra in March 2014, with no chips or peeling paint. Fast-forward a couple of months, the paint around the top side of the windshield is chipping and peeling. Living in a state that gets snow & ice, I am concerned about the potential for rust. Toyota is aware of the issue with their Super White paint with other models (Service Bulletin 23TE08), such as the following: 2008–2009 Lexus GX 470 2008–2017 Toyota Avalon 2008–2017 Toyota Camry 2008–2017 Toyota Camry Hybrid 2008–2017 Toyota RAV4 2009–2018 Toyota Corolla 2010–2015 Toyota 4Runner 2011–2015 Scion xB 2012–2015 Scion iQ It is nonsensical to omit other models using the same Super White paint from this recall.

Found Truck bed floor rust corrosion in the bed of 2014 tundra. Bed has localized corrosion and rust perforation in specific areas on the top side of the bed. Bed assembly does not appear to have been properly sealed using hemming and sealing procedures outlined in CRIB bulletin:163 sealing Hem-flanges and body seams. The truck bed underside is rust free except where the bed sections were welded and sealed together. Truck is garage kept and has been undercoated with fluid film annually since I purchased in 2017. Truck only has 45,800 miles on it. Rust is forming in between the seems and spreading under the bed supports and around the bolts that secure the bed to the truck frame. I am concerned that the bed may become loose and fall off while driving down the highway if not replaced or repaired properly. Toyota had a TSB 0101-12 for older model tundras years 2007-2011. The service manager at my local Toyota dealership acknowledges the issue and agrees that the issue is unacceptable. Dealer also stated that this issue is common on generation 3 Tundra vehicles. I am currently working with Toyota Customer care to resolve this safety concern. Local dealer will not authorize repair due to vehicle age even though issue is a manufacturing defect.

The grill cowling has plastic pins that attach to hood. Grill cowling is the part that sets above actual grill via bolts, and plastic pins. The grill cowling is constantly popping out , plastic pins not holding. Have read on line that others are having this problem. If grill cowling becomes loose while traveling, and breaks or snaps off it will be airborne could cause vehicle crashes. Has not been inspected by manufacture, police, insurance reps or others. Is available for inspection.

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A NOTIFICATION FOR NO TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON. THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO GO OVER 50MPH, AND STRUGGLED TO GO UP HILLS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S THE AIR INJECTION VALVES. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE PARTS AND FOUND THAT IT IS COMMON FOR THEM TO GO BAD, AND THAT TOYOTA HAS PUT OUT A MEMO STATING THAT IT WOULD BE A COVERED REPAIR FOR VEHICLES UP TO THE 2010 MODELS WITH UP TO 150,000 MILES. IN MY RESEARCH I FOUND THAT IT STILL CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE EVEN IN LATER MODELS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA THAT IF THEY KNOW THIS IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE THAT THEY SHOULD RECALL THE PART. SINCE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH LIMITED POWER I HAD TO USE MY HAZARD LIGHTS UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION.

THE IN TRUCK PHONE SYSTEM FAILS WHILE MOVING OR SITTING STILL. THOUSANDS OF TOYOTA CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM

Randomly the air bag light comes on saying that their is an malfunction in one of the air bags. The dashboard light comes on more frequently when the weather is hot out side. Can’t remember the date when it started but it’s been happening a lot and Toyota said their are no recalls or issues with that are known and I would need to pay which is costly.

ENGINE

ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED CAM TOWER OIL LEAK THAT IS DRIPPING ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. PER TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER "POTENTIALLY BE A DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THE 5.7 ENGINES TOYOTA USES ACROSS MULTIPLE VEHICLE MODELS. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DESIGN DEFECT THAT IS RESULTING IN A SAFETY HAZARD.

Feb 24, 2021

TOYOTA HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THEIR 5.7 L V8 ENGINE WITH THE CAM SHAFT TOWERS LEAKING OIL ONTO THE EXHAUST WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD. THIS IS A RESULT OF THEM NOT APPLYING ENOUGH SEALANT AT THE FACTORY, WHICH WAS CONFIRMED TO ME BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA REFUSES TO COVER THE ISSUES EVEN THOUGH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE ONLINE, CLASS ACTION SUITS HAVE BEEN OPENED AND THERE IS A PETITION ONLINE TO GET THEM TO RECALL THIS ISSUE WITH OVER 6,000 SIGNATURES. MINE PERSONALLY HAS THE OIL LEAK AND I CAN SMELL BURNING OIL EVERY TIME I GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A LARGE OIL BURN STAIN ON THE EXHAUST WHERE THE OIL IS FALLING. APPARENTLY IT'S GOING TO TAKE A FIRE AND SOMEONE TO GET HURT BEFORE TOYOTA RECOGNIZES THIS ISSUE AND FIXES IT.

Jan 13, 2020

NOTICE STRONG SMELL OF OIL IN THE CAB, MY KIDS COMPLAINED ABOUT IT SO , I DECIDED TO GO UNDERNEATH AND CHECK WHAT'S GOING ON AND THERE IS A OIL LEAK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE COMING FROM THE ENGINE , MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 40K MILES AND I RESEARCHED AND FIND OUT A LOT OF REPORTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I'M AFRAID THE OIL DRIPPING ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WILL CATCH ON FIRE , NOT TO MENTION THE SMELL AND CARBON MONOXIDE THAT WE ARE BREATHING INSIDE THE CAB. ESPECIALLY MY KIDS.

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

Sep 06, 2020

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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

4 complaints

There is fuel leaking from above the fuel tank. This is an immediate hazard in my book. The tank is half full at this point in time. I believe it is leaking from the fuel pressure switching valve. No warning lights are illuminated at this time. I will confirm that this weekend when I remove the fuel tank to inspect. I have a photo of the leak but it is too large to upload. I will gladly email it to you. I am an ASE certified technician.

Jan 31, 2023

GOT A PRETTY MAJOR FUEL LEAK LEAKING OUT OF LEFT SIDE BEHIND DRIVERS DOOR COMING OUT OF THE FRAME RAIL. HAS AROUND 120,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT'S THE FUEL PUMP COMPUTER, NO WARRANTY OR TSB. SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE WARRANTABLE BECAUSE IT'S SAFETY RELATED. TRUCK COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE IF SOMEBODY FLIPPED A CIGARETTE UNDER IT IN TRAFFIC. IT'S A STEADY DRIP ABOUT ONE DRIP PER SECOND WHILE THE TRUCK IS RUNNING. AFTER YOU SHUT IT OFF, THE LEAK STOPS AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES AS IT DEPRESSURIZES. *TR

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

Oct 02, 2019

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.

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.

TIRES

3 complaints

The sidewall of my tire completely blew out on a flat, clear road. Leaving my neighborhood, I heard a questionable sound that I thought may be ice build up on my mudflap rubbing against the tire. I continued to monitor my suspicion, as it was hard to tell whether there was actually a sound, or if it was in my head. Turning out of my neighborhood, I continued listening for anything suspicious. After feeling like I was in the clear, I brought the truck up to 45-50mph. Suddenly, the truck began bouncing like crazy, and I was able to manage pulling off to the side of the road. The shoulder was only a couple feet wide, followed by a steep hill, so my truck was sticking out into the road quite far, and it was night time. I sprung into action as quickly as possible to minimize risk as I went to change the tire and replace with the spare. Since it was night time, and the road only had one lane in each direction, there were at least 3 times that my car / myself were almost rammed into, or the car approaching me wasn't able to see cars approaching from the other direction, and almost caused a head on collision. There hasn't been an official inspection of the tire yet. There were no warning lamps prior to the failure. The only symptoms of the problem were a suspected sound that may or may not have actually been there. Tire size: 275-55R-20

STEERING

3 complaints

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a left turn, the maintenance required warning light was illuminated. The contact then stated that after he made it to his destination, he checked under the hood of the vehicle and noticed that the power steering pump was leaking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front power coolant line and an unknown gasket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacture was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000. The consumer stated there was a recall but was not covered at the dealer due to the power coolant line not being covered. The vehicle was repaired at Autobody shop at the owners expense.

GLOSS COATING ON STEERING WHEEL HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE AREAS, HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME UNCOMFORTABLE. MOST RECENT CRACK IS ABOUT 2MM WIDE AND GOES ALL AROUND THE WOODEN GLOSS PART OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND I FEEL THAT IF THIS CONTINUES MY STEERING WHEEL WILL BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE UNEVENNESS AND POSSIBLY CAUSE SOME PIECES TO FALL OFF MY STEERING WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE GEAR SHIFTER MOVED OUT OF GEAR AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY. IN ADDITION, WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS LIQUID ON THE GEAR SHIFTER, WHICH CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

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.

Jul 29, 2015

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

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.

1 complaint

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

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.

POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES

1 complaint

First the break keeps broken. I was told the master cylinder for the break needs to be replaced. This is after I spend thousands to work on breaks at dealer. Second, the window does not close. I thought it might be caused by a broken breaker BUT, none of the breaker is bad. Thirdly, the most frustrated thing is the transmission fails to work. The truck is dead on the street. I sent the truck to dealer to replace the transmission to a new one. After it is done. I drove it on the street and just a few days later, the transmission is failed again and Gear shifting stick failed to work as soon as it is out of dealer parking lot. Dealer repair department told me I need to put money out to buy another transmission. They said transmission oil line is broken, and it caused transmission not to be covered by any wanrrenty. .

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE

1 complaint

In the course of cleaning my vehicle, I noticed corrosion on edge of door sill (emanating from under inside rubber door seal) of my 2014 Toyota Tundra on June 13, 2021. After removing the plastic scuff plate and rubber door seal, it was apparent that openings from the underside of the vehicle into the cabin are present from the design/manufacturing process - these opening are not sealed. The openings are not a result of corrosion but rather are associated with the geometry of the floor pan at the floor pan to rocker pinch weld - it is not a sealed surface. After removing the rubber seal I was able to look downward into the openings and see daylight from the underside of the cabin. Electrical cabling is immediately adjacent to these openings beneath the plastic scuff plate. It was apparent that the openings permit water and salt infiltration into the cabin, and would appear to be the primary cause of corrosion and build up of salt residues in the cabin and door sill area. My first impression was the condition that I observed was a manufacturing defect. On reflection many questions came to mind including: was the infiltration of water, salt and potentially exhaust through the openings in the floor pan going to have safety consequences - would the deterioration of the body structure as a result of corrosion have consequences in the event of a crash, or would the potential infiltration of exhaust gases affect the safety of cabin occupants? In following up the dealer and manufacturer over the last week, no resolution has been found . Owing to the age I was advised that there was no warranty coverage. The dealer reportedly inspected other Tundras and the design/manufacturing conditions (ie. opening in the floor pan) were the same as I had observed. It was only through my own initiative that I identified a Manufacturer Communication (NHTSA ID 10173991) that shed some light on the issue.

1 complaint

TRUCK WAS IN TOYOTA SHOP IN VERMONT FOR STALLING OF VEHICLE. THOUGHT IT WAS FUEL PUMP DUE TO RECENT RECALL - SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF IT COULD BE THAT AND WAS TOLD NO. THEY FOUND MICE NEST IN INTAKE MANIFOLD, KNOCK SENSOR WAS FOUND TO BE CHEWED, AND REPLACED. ONCE I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE, IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING AFTER 2 DAYS. UPON LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD, FOUND THAT THE AIR INTAKE FILTER WAS LEFT OFF. I FIXED THAT, AND THEN THE SAME ISSUE STARTING OCCURRING AGAIN. HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO DIFFERENT SHOP (TO TRUSTED MECHANIC) THEY HAVE FOUND AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY AND A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, THAT IT IS TRULY IN FACT THE FUEL PUMP. THEY TESTED FUEL PUMP AND IT'S ONLY PUTTING OUT 20PSI INSTEAD OF 40. I CALLED TOYOTA, BUT THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT ONLY THE NEWER TOYOTAS ARE AFFECTED, BUT ON THE RECALL LIST IT GOES BACK TO 2013 IN DIFFERENT MODELS. THIS SEEMS SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE SUBARU WAS HAVING WITH THEIR AIR BAGS. MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, SHOULD NOT JUST BE ASSUMING THAT THIS COULDN'T BE CORRELATED WITH FAULTY FUEL PUMP. MY VEHICLES SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS WHAT THE RECALL HAS STATED HAPPENS. BEFORE DENYING ME ANYTHING, THEY SHOULD BE WILLING TO AT LEAST INVESTIGATE AND LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. IT'S ALSO SUSPICIOUS TO ME THAT MY VEHICLE STARTED DOING THIS ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO A HUGE SAFETY RECALL COMING OUT IN REGARDS TO FUEL PUMPS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

1 complaint

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,

IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE FROM 1K MILES TO 100K MILES, BUT IT CAN DAMAGE THE ENGINE AND OTHER IMPORTANT PARTS AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE, AS IT LEAKS IN TO THE EXHAUST AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE. I OWN A 2014 TUNDRA THAT HAS THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY $3K TO FIX IT!

TOYOTA - DEFECTIVE PLASTIC MATERIALS USED: THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL WELL MELTED FROM THE SUN WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. TOYOTA FAILED TO USE QUALITY PLASTIC MATERIAL WITHOUT UV PROTECTION AND A HIGHER ENOUGH MELTING THRESHOLD, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL FLAIR MELTING FROM HEAT OF SUN. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE, SHOULD SUN HEAT MELT A CAR PART WHICH SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND SUN HEAT OUTSIDE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA REGARDING THIS MATTER. I INFORMED TOYOTA NA THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AND THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR AND WHEEL FLAIR MELTED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE COMPANY OFFERED TO PAY $200 FOR AN $850 REPAIR. I REQUEST FULL REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR OF MY TOYOTA TUNDRA 2014, PLUS DAMAGES OF $2,400 DUE TO THE TIME FROM WORK THAT WAS REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA NA.

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.

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
