Toyota Tundra Change Vehicle

"Paint on this model Toyota, like most of their entire product line, is poor. Does not hold up to sun. OEM paint on these vehicles is very thin and substandard. I have pits in the paint all over the hood and the paint over the whole truck is very dull"

"White paint is chalking - been this way for at least 5 years"

"chipping has become a problem on hood and sides"

"paint faded, clear coat peeling, rust started"

"On the hood, there are three places that look like blisters, but I'm not sure that would be the actual term, since the paint was applied ten years back. under the blisters, there is primer, so the blisters don't go all the way to the steel"

"Alloy wheels seem to have an issue with paint bubbling and peeling. Toyota never acknowledged the issue. Same issue on same year Corolla alloys"

"paint peeling off bottom and side of one rear door"

"Clear coat is fading and chipping away, Toyota will not cover"

"The top is fading and turning a grey color. the paint overall is very thin and scratches very easily , when it is just barely touched by and thing, bushes etc"

"All surfaces that face upward like hood, roof, wheel flares etc. are all extremely sun faded and peeling. Side walls and quarter panels that face outward are not as bad but do seem to scratch easier now"

"the horses also chewed on the tundra so it has spots of rust and paint is scraped off"

"Underbody frame very rusty"

"The rust is horrible. The only areas that do not have rust are the painted body areas. Had Toyota "Rust Remedy" applied several years ago which has been successful, but only for the very limited items to which it was applied (i.e., the frame). Front and rear suspension horribly rusted (had to replace sway bar connecting rods which had rusted so badly they broke off), wheel rims are rusted (silver coating is mostly gone), emergency brake cable and parts rusted and eventual froze in the "on" posit"

"Truck frame was rusted , covered & repaired by recall. Dealer refused to cover rusted truck bed floor which is rusting from the bottom up. Both the bottom of bed and frame had the same problem, insufficient under coating for the NE of the U.S"

"Recall for frame Rusting"

"few spots 1/8 to 1/4 inch bubbled and rusted, areas denuded of paint on top rusted"

"rust on one side of body near rear door"

"Frame, major driveline, brake lines etc are rusted to a point of concern. Toyota recalled the truck and sprayed undercoating only to have half or better wash/wear off inside of a years time. Truck is mechanically sound but I don't think it will outl"

"Toyota. Recall for body corrosion, they took great care of recovering frame and underbody of recall"

"Rust spots showing up in box where box meets frame"

"Frozen caliper scored the rotor"

"One front caliper would not totally release causing a shimmy - this did not happen continuously"

"master cylinder failed"

"Brake booster failed at Master Cylinder seal. Booster was full and draining fluid through breather hose into engine block. VERY EXPENSIVE to fix. Needed booster AND master cyl. not available separately even though MC was working to spec"

"Brake fluid was found to be low. Diagnosis was master cylinder re and re was around $1200.00. Dealer indicated this is a very rare fault with Tundra he'd seen this just a handful of times"

"Brake fluid was leaking from the brake master cylinder into the brake booster. Previously, my Tundra never required brake fluid. I reported problem to my dealer, mechanic discovered leak between master cylinder and brake booster. Replaced entire unit"

"Master Cylinder leaked, Toyota only sells the complete Brake System Unit of three parts for about $1700; ended up getting used Master Cylinder for about $300"

"had to replace emergency brake because it was frozen. Rear emergency pivot had to be replaced. Indicated this has happen quite a few times from vehicles brought in to tell dealership"

"Emergency brake does not release enough on left rear wheel so causes vibration and hot brakes. The bell crank pivot is too tight and will not allow pivot to work easily. Have to reach under and pull left cable to release pressure after each use! M"

"Parking brake bell crank at rear wheels is made of poor steel that rusts readily and the mechanism binds and becomes fused. I need to remove, clean and rebuild every-other year"

"rear brakes would not completely release after releasing parking brake"

"This is the first time in 170,000 the rotar and drums"

"IN EACH OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM THE DEFECTIVE CALIPERS DAMAGED THE ROTORS"

"The brake rotors for this vehicle do not appear to be large enough for the size of the truck, resulting in rotor wear more frequent than should be. I have had Toyota service techs, tell me that in subsequent years, Toyota added larger rotors to their Tundra trucks"

"Rough stopping"

"Scored by frozen caliper"

"warped ...needed to be turned"

"premature wear causing steering vibration"

"After installing new rotor, caliper pads on left front it chirps. Have spent considerable money but with no results. Still chirps! All brakes were replaced but only left front chirps!"

"Exhaust manifold cracked, requiring replacement, on 4.7 liter V8. Included significant labor expense"

"The stainless steel shields themselves were in perfect condition, but the bolts were galvanized and badly corroded and the gaskets were shreaded"

"Entire exhaust system needed to be replaced due to severe rust"

"The very short pipe between the resonator and muffler rusted through an broke off so I had to replace the entire system from cat back, moving form a dual to single system"

"12 years old and the engine is frequently started and stopped without thorough warming. The muffler simply corroded"

"Rusted out and developed holes"

"rusted out"

"rusted out"

"The muffler rusted and a hole emerged"

"The truck is 10 years old. It needed a new muffler due to a hole"

"Loose bracket on rear stretch due to corrosion. Welded new hanger bracket on"

"tail pipe rusted through at the joint and fell off"

"the muffler has rusted twice, the pipes rusted out twice and the parts were very hard to get The under body-chassis-had terrible rust that was eating through the bed"

"Just needed to be re-welded where they connect to the muffler"
