Toyota Tundra

"fading, chalking on cab roof"

"paint failure on hood and roof"

"Bad clear coat failure"

"Started bubbling up while still under warrantee. Toyota refused to fix stating it was tree sap. Now (outside of warrantee it has spread all over truck. Every Toyota truck I see from this era has the same problem. This was a Toyota problem they re"

"Paint clear coat chalking on roof and hood of vehicle; dark green paint. I've noticed that similar vehicles with lighter paint colors tend to have less tendency to have this problem"

"Roof paint clear coat clouded and cracked, requiring an entire roof repaint"

"Truck was parked in sun which degraded cab roof paint and encouraged rust"

"Color is Green, and it has faded and peeled so much, it looks awful, down to metal now. I see a lot of this same truck and color doing exactly the same thing. We don't live in snow or extreme heat, this shouldn't happen. Think its a color flaw"

"FADING PAINT,DICOROLATION,MOLDINGS ON DOORS WARPING,INTERIOR DOOR RUST"

"Vehicle has never seen the inside of a garage. clear coat was chalking and it had rock chips on front and hood"

"Fading, eroding"

"paint on hood is disteriorating in areas"

"Rear bumper clear coat faded resulting in chipping and flaking of the base color"

"Roof paint fading, clear coat peeling"

"The hood and roof have been fading for years. The rest of the truck looks almost new"

"Paint surface is no longer shiny, otherwise no problems"

"The clear coat is peeling off on large flat surfaces ,did OK for 15 years"

"The paint is white and will not maintain any body or shine, if waxed it quickly goes flat"

"Paint has been coming off on front of hood. Jades like a small pimple then erode down to the metal and get bigger and bigger then rust immediately. Gets worse every day right before your eyes. Have seen multiple other like vehicles with same problem. Toyota won't acknowledge"

"IT IS JUST OLD. I NEED TO POLISH IT AND BRING IT BACK"

"The Tundra is a great vehicle, but ours sits outside and now, after 15 years, the paint is faded and pealing all over. It looks terrible like we take poor care of it even though we regularly wax it and keep it clean"

"After 14 years in the Texas sun, the paint in the roof and hood faded and delaminated to the point it was getting ugly."

"The vehicle is 17 years old and is showing the results of weather and road rash. The problems are not a result of a poor paint job. The truck is kept in my garage and gets a coat of quality wax yearly. In fact the areas most exposed to the sun such as the roof and hood get 2 applications of wax about a month apart. Still can use the hood as a mirror."

"paint on roof is fading and peeling off"

"FADING PAINT IS JUST SOMETHING WE FINALLY DECIDED TO TACKLE. IT WASNT SPECIFIC TO THE LAST 12 MONTHS. TRUCK PAINT DID NOT FADE ANY MORE OR LESS THAN ANY OTHER TOYOTA OR BRAND OF VEHICLE IN ARIZONA."

"Normal wear"

"paint appears to have turned to chalk; my guess is that the “clear coat” was applied improperly. Defect is mostly on upper surfaces, but there is enough damage on side areas to rule out sun damage."

"Clear coat flaking off."

"This truck has never had a garage or shade since it entered service in 2002, and the Texas sun has taken a toll. Most of the paint on the roof and 25% of the paint on the hood has faded, then chalked, some has peeled and pitted. The paint on the sides looks new. What a shame."

"Paint is showing road rash chips and some minor scratches., but gets two coats of polish per year. Leather upholstery is starting to show wear and cracking in isolated areas. Driver side armrest leather is starting to pull away from the window control module insert."

"I have not been diligent in washing the truck and the roof has apparently been attacked by something like mold that is peeling the original paint."

"I will have to have the truck entirely repainted. This is something I've never had to do with any car I've owned in the past 65 years(I'm 82 years old now)."

"The roof and hood paint "Ëœwore-off' after 5 years. The roof rusted. Toyota denied any defect in the paint used. I pride to haVe the entire truck painted."

"This truck has always been stored outside and has been a utility vehicle, rarely washed or waxed. The paint started peeling after 10 years and continues to disappear. It probably should be expected."

"Paint on cab roof has deteriorated to the extent it will need to be repainted."

"Clear coat is peeling"

"Truck purchased new in 2002. By 2007 horizontal sections, hood and roof, paint was totally gone, weathered/chalked. By 2010 verticle surfaces were pretty far gone. All sections were beginning to rust. In 2015, to prevent rust perforation, I had it painted for $4600.00. Local paint shop did a better than new paint job, which is still flawless."

"paint fading, cracking and peeling away from body on hood and mirrors."

"Due to salt, snow and rain, undercarriage has excessive rust"

"rust in truck bed"

"replaced the rear bumper cover. Needed to pass inspection"

"RUST DEVELOPING UNDER THE VEHICLE"

"rust of bed supports. Other rust issues have been taken care of by Toyota at no cost."

"my family operates 3 2002 Toyota Tundras; two other trucks received multiple recall notices regarding rust problems, MY truck received NO recall notices. Two months ago I experienced a serious rust problem hidden underneath painted finish of rear bumper. Currently negotiating with dealership regarding non-notification of recalls, and current repairs necessary for state inspection."

"The body of the Tundra rusted out with in the first 10 years."

"This model has been noted for rusted frames. When it would not pass inspection at my service center I took it back to the TOYOTA dealer where I bought it. They refused to correct the problem. I too the truck to a welding shop where they welded a piece to correct it. A second rust area on the frame a few years later was repaired by a welder. With this poor dealer ser ice from Lancaster Toyota, I am finished with their products"

"The roof rusted after the first 5 years of ownership. The paint was chalky and waxing didn't help."

"sticking and wearing out the rotors in the front"

"Calipers are under sized for the vehicle"

"rust very quickly and cause overall brake pulsing and require complete redo of brakes if not caught orly"

"Soft brake peddle which was traced to the master cylinder"

"Brake pedal behaved differently. Battery died. Towed to shop. both repaired. Truck good as new."

"Brakes were wearing out and stopping became a challenge for safety reasons of course. The brakes were completely replaced and we decided it was because of the age of the truck. All is great since repair"

"I had the brakes checked at the dealership a few years ago, and the brake pads were good. These were the original brake pads. At 112,000 miles, it was time to have them replaced"

"About this time in Tundra life my reliable mechanic commiserates, the brakes need an job. This is not easy or cheap. Mostly for mechanics not a fun job"

"this was the first brake repair i have had. began squealing and pedal became soft"

"At 308,000 Km (191,000 miles) I don't consider a need to replace discs and callipers a problem. They have worn out, plain and simple."

"Have replaced a broken parking brake cable 4 times"

"I had replaced the front brake discs at about 96,000 and they only lasted about 6200 miles, at which time I had slotted rotors and new disc pads installed because of intense pedal throb due to warping of the rotors"

"result of tundra 2002 design flaw undersized rotors, warped rotors caused pulsating vibration in steering when brakes are applied"

"Road salts have caused premature brake wear"

"For some reason the Tundra goes through lots of pads and rotors"

"front brakes wear out too fast or begin to pulsate semi annually or less. Mechanic says the quality of parts is poor and he can't find better quality available"

"The front disks seem to easily warp and thus need machining. I can tolerate the pulsing when braking so I get this fixed when it's time for brake replacement."

"Left rear wheel hops under heavy braking. Shop says brakes are mechanically sound, with adequate pad thickness."

"Part of alignment issue, start feeling vibrations and within 3 months of alignment."

"rear brakes are drum and the drums have to be ground or replaced every 6 months or so because they get out of round and pulsate. Mechanic says it is poor quality drums and cannot get a better quality one at any price."

"replaced worn pads and rotors"

"A brake line coupling broke and drained all the fluid."

"The brakes on this model are undersized, causing warped rotors. I heard that newer models have larger brakes"

"warped rotors - the front brakes on this model are too small"

"they warped due to being undersized"

"Rotors warp"

"had to replace rotors numerous times since they were undersized by Toyota when manufactured, dealer said there was no 'warranty' or recall for them...which was untrue - but only for customers who raised hell about it. A 'hidden recall' which Toyota r"

"The rotors were turned to rectify the pulsation issue"

"Tundra rotors warp easily, causing pulsation"

"Rotors were so worn down that they had to be replaced"

"Normal brake maintenance"

"Had to make a full on emergency stop to avoid a fire engine in a intersection. Brakes worked as advertised but the left rotor was warped. Had it turned a few years ago but the problem returned so I just had new rotors and pads installed and everything works great. ( Big O Tires in Mesquite, NV )"

"a service bulletin had to be accomplished because the rotors would get warped and brake pulsation was very annoying"

"front disc brakes, squeaking!!"

"Some noise and pulsating - possibly due to improper installation of brake pads"

"Breaks were squealing because the break shoes wore out as well as the rotors had to be replaced!"

"At the end of a 250 mi drive, engine began running rough, making it almost un-drivable, as it would choke in the middle of an intersection. Injectors were replaced 3 times, first with knock off parts, then again with toyota parts, then finally I had it towed to a different mechanic installed them correctly. Part of the issue may have been caused by an aftermarket security system which had to be disconnected in the final repair."

"Failure of the front and rear catalitic converter units. They will not be replaced at $277.00 each as they do not effect mileage"

"Replace"

"The check engine light came on, the sensor had to be replaced, and we were given a choice of $1200 or $1500 to replace it"

"catalytic converter"

"Have had several problems with sensors over the years and they are VERY EXPENSIVE to replace"

"Heater was faulty"

"Not one but two of the O2 sensors went out. One was covered by warranty except that I could not get it into the shop in time, so I am stuck paying for both"

"One of the oxygen sensors burn out every 12-18 months like clockwork. At $250 per, I stopped having the sensors changed"

"o2 sensor failure"

"Cost was $300+! Engine light warning came on"

"I've had to replace three sensors, which are expensive"

"check engine light, replaced O2 sensor this year and 1 other in previous year"

"Had multiple O2 sensors go out. I think these should be warranted for life, but they are not"

"Had 3 sensors cause the check engine light to illuminate one at a time within the year. Replaced remaining two when the failure occurred the third time"

"Engine trouble light: emissions control. Not serviced yet"

"Nuts rusted off the studs allowing sensor to dismount and damage the internal element"

"All 4 Oxygen sensors failed, the two located after the catalytic converters were in such bad shape that the cats had to be replaced, mounting flanges were deteriated"

"2 of the o2 sensors needed to be replaced, about 1 year apart"

"The warning lite came on-I took it to a shop and their analsyler showed the problem was the 2 O2 sensors"

"I've gone through several. No reason discovered."

"Had to replace o2 sensors many times."

"Check engine light comes on and prevents truck from passing inspection here in Texas. Repair is expensive and has been an on-going problem. Truck runs fine with check engine light on but can't pass inspection without repair."

"4th Sensor replaced. no reason these sensors should cost $200-$300 to replace. It's a 30 minute job!"

"Had to replace two oxygen sensors"

"Check Engine warning light went on."

"It failed and needed to be replaced in order for the vehicle to pass a smog test. The vehicle ran fine when the sensor was dead."

"I have a Fixd plug in that tells me when something is wrong. A check engine light came on the dashboard. It said oxygen sensor bank 1. We were able to catch the problem immediately and therefore did not suffer a complete breakdown of the truck."

"I have to replace many sensorS on the exhaust system. I feel this is excessive"
