Toyota Tundra Change Vehicle

"Stopped working. Left CD stuck in machine. Would not release it."

"Unable to use CD player. Cannot load CD's. 95 % of controls for sound system doesn't work. I have had this problem since 2009. I returned truck to dealer but it was working. The problem was off and on for about six years. The pass year, it seems to be all the time. The system is no longer under warranty. I have a friend that bought a 2008 Tundra and he experienced the same problems. He returned truck to dealer and they replaced the system. He returned his within the first year"

"Stopped working"

"Does not work when the radio intermittently turns off and on"

"fails to read cds"

"Will not load and if I can finally make it load it will not then unload the CD. Also now the Nav system says that it has no map disc, but it does and it will not unload that disc. Now there is no nav system!!!!"

"CD's are stuck in the player and unable to be ejected. No longer able to use CD player"

"CD's skip. Not used very often"

"CD jammed and required rebuilt unit after dealership promised repair. Price was nearly three times original estimate and no calls or awareness of new unit until the truck was picked up"

"display freezes. also unable to control volume, radio sound system"

"Just went bad and had to replace. Repairs were too costly"

"When the weather got very cold, the time/temp/range display went haywire - going blank, blinking"

"Not able to turn the volume down and cannot play the CD player, MP3 player and the radio. Volume increase as I travel from New York and could not turn it down. Tundra cost to repair is more than $712.00 dollars did not receive any assistance from tundra"

"Same issues with the radio and the CD"

"The auxilary port I use to connect an mp3 player or smartphone for music play is disfunctional. I have to turn the volume on both my device and the vehicle all the way up to be able to hear the sound."

"Audio plug input module needed replacement"

"GPS is absolutely useless since new. Cannot enter any information while underway, including passenger in right seat. If I change route intentionally, navigation system insists on taking me back to original planned route rather than recalculate a new"

"Nav system has totally failed. It has a map DVD in it but it says it doesn't and it will not unload the DVD or do I get any map or info from it. Toyta wants $2000 for a replacement!!!!"

"Not a problem per se, however the whole system had to be replaced to fix the CD player"

"The bluetooth functionality stopped operating and we were told that the radio system would have to be replaced at a cost of $1,700. We opted to do without the bluetooth functionality."

"Bluetooth pairing will not allow me to talk when cellphone is active. Can hear but receiving party cannot answer back"

"About once a week I must restart vehicle to connect phone"

"The radio and CD player volume can not be turn down. Unable to listen to both item because the volume is to LOUD and cannot be turn down. The dealership informed me it would cost more than $575.00 to replace the units volume control."

"Intermittent problem- loses volume control and channel select capabilities.. and total power loss.."

"Radio was replaced during warranty and then again with aftermarket last year"

"Unable to use CD player. Cannot load CD's. 95 % of controls for sound system doesn't work. I have had this problem since 2009. I returned truck to dealer but it was working. The problem was off and on for about six years. The pass year, it seems to be all the time. The system is no longer under warranty. I have a friend that bought a 2008 Tundra and he experienced the same problems. He returned truck to dealer and they replaced the system. He returned his within the first year"

"Radio intermittently turns on and off even though the radio is turned off, same thing with the CD"

"When it's warm you can't turn the radio volume up or down. Sometimes banging on the dash hard will fix it, sometimes not. Too expensive to have repaired. In fact everything on Tundra too expensive to have repaired"

"Sometimes the volume control will not change the volume without first pounding the dash with my hand in the area above the radio"

"randomly turns on and off"

"Volume does not turn up or down as I turn volume control knob"

"Radio failed and had to be replaced"

"The radio/CD player combo has NEVER worked properly. The digital display freezes up or goes blank, the volume control often stops working, the CD doesn't eject or load"

"Had to have the Air Pump assy & both valve assemblies replaced as the truck was losing power and the VSC light stayed on. Was not covered under the extended warranty due to age of vehicle even though it was well under the mileage limit."

"Following up on a warning light on the dashboard, the dealer determined that the emissions control canister (?) and related parts had to be replaced."

"Check Engine Light came on. Toyota dealer said the problem was something to do with exhaust system."

"Part that was recalled last year, that had to do with the engine emission system. The recall was no longer in place, so I had to pay $1,500.00 to cover it myself."

"I'm not sure what it was but it was a major internal aspect of the EPA system. It cost me 2800.00 and done at an AAA facility. It took the mechanic 5-6 hours to complete the repair, i.e., an all new internal system."

"Toyota first stated the emissions trouble light coming on may be caused by a default gas cap. Changed it out and a few days later the trouble light came on again. Toyota stated that they found a sensor was bad and that if it was changed out it would solve the problem. Cost me a sum of money and it still didn't correct the problem. Toyota then placed a new gas tank in the vehicle and this solved the problem. Toyota didn't charge me for the gas tank. I believe that it was a problem that Toyota was aware of and that was why I got a new gas tank without being charged any more money. Customer loyalty representative at Toyota was extremely professional and courteous."

"fixed under recall"

"1 x Cat Converter Air Injection Pump (AIP) failure followed by "limp home" mode (approx 25% throttle input available). Under Toyota special extended warranty (not purchased, but issued by Toyota), dealer replaced 2 x AIP and 4 x air valves (1 AIP and 2 x valves for failure, and 1 x AIP and 2 x valves as preventative measure). Cost of repair $0.00 - thank you Toyota"

"Why do I have to answer twice for the same vehicle? I only own 1 x 2007 Toyota Tundra"

"Computer reaction degraded shift performance"

"Tank is empty when hen fuel gage reads 1/4 full. Cannot be replaced without replacing pump as well at a cost of some $1500! This is ridiculous for a vehicle under 80000 miles, and sending unit should be able to be replaced without replacing pump and dropping entire tank!"

"One month following an event where i drove tank until out of gas, the fuel sender failed and had to br replaced"

"Stopped working. Husband didn't know. Stranded in bad side of town. cost $600 to fix"

"Secondary air injection system"

"Fuel pump failed and had to be replaced"

"Expensive intake manifold parts had to be changed since engine had no more power owing to intake valve malfunction"

"Check engine light came on, use code checker to find problem, replaced sensor, no more light"

"Car was drivable but engine was noisy and a little rough"

"Air pump quite"

"A sensor on the system rusted and failed Colorado inspection. It was mounted behind the right front bumper. It failed because of its location and exposure to road chemicals. The mechanic said this is a common failure because of the location of the sensor. It was repaired and works fine now"

"Had a sensor go out while merging onto the freeway. The truck automatically powered down as merging on the freeway. The repair was covered by warranty. I had 97,000 miles on the truck and would have had to pay for the repair after 100,000 miles"

"TOYOTA REPAIRED A $3000 AIR PUMP AND VALVE REPLACEMENT THAT I ALMOST PAID FOR MYSELF. HAD I NOT INVESTIGATED THAT TOYOTA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON"

"check engine light came on. Subsequent check noted the "secondary air injection system switching valve was stuck closed bank 2""

"damn thing stopped working a couple of months out of warranty, they put in new I paid all still only have 32,000 miles"

"Stopped working"

"The internal system behind the dash stopped working"

"I know my AC works because there's some cold air coming out. The fan doesn't blow hard enough to cool the cabin when the heat is above 85 degrees farenheit."

"heater box- can't direct air where I want it"

"Required new part when controls broke"

"blower fan shorted out and would remain ring with truck turned off , key out of ignition. Killed the battery off"

"Blower motor at first was intermittent and then went completely out"

"I began experiencing problems with the blower motor slowing down at 25000 miles. I replaced the motor at 38000 miles with Toyota parts due to complete failure. It has began to fail again at 76000"

"Annoying tick that was hard to find and stop"

"Both units went out at the same time and the A/C stopped cooling. Cost for repair was $1500"

"Starter replaced this year, radio volume does not work, electric door locks sometime does not work, AC sometimes does not turn on"

"I am in the process of replacing the evaporator for the 4th time. (47000 miles per evaporator) It's expensive, but other that that, the rest has been normal maintenance."

"Stopped working Had to replace it."

"Leaked refrigerant - expensive replacement"

"This was the second time that the evaporator has been replace at the tune of $1700.00 each. The dealer shop is a problem and I go to an independent shop for most of my service and repair work. (In at least 1/3 of the trips to the dealer shop there i"

"Passenger side butt warmer ceased to function. Dealer actually discouraged repairing it as cost would be >$600."

"See the previous evaporator comments."

"slow leak had to recharge system. fog coming from air ducts"

"Water pump needs replacement"

"particularly at cool temperatures (truck is in warm-up mode), about once or twice a week the transmission will "clunk" when it shifts. Also, when I slow to less than 5 mph to turn, you have to be careful with the acceleration coming out of the turn as the transmission is a little jumpy"

"The transmission down shifts hard and inconsistent"

"Clunky downshift at about 37 mph. Only time it happens"

"rough shifting at about 40 mph on cold mornings if accelerating at just the right scenario"

"Transmission uses fluid as part of normal operation, and not all mechanics know how to fill the transmission. So, as fluid gets lower, transmission will slip. Transmission also bangs when coming to a stop. But, these issues go away if a mechanic knows what he/she is doing when servicing it."

"Fuel milage began to decline and then the transmission started failing to shift when cold. I took it to a transmission shop for service to make sure it was properly filled with good transmission fluid though they said it had "lifetime" fluid in it. A few months later it began to slip and needs to be replaced at a cost of $8K as it cannot be serviced by anyone other than Toyota factory personnel"

"Lazy trans. Stop fast & hit gas it would hesitate & bang into gear. Toyota always said the trans went to neutral when stopping fast & took a moment to catch. Turns out it was low on trans fluid, probably since new. Cost $1250 axle seal into trans"

"Just turned 80k miles.3 trips to dealer to diagnose. Initial cost to repair quote $3200. Appeal to Toyota regional mgmt. yielded $1000 discount."

"The trans computer had to be reprogrammed"

"It had a intermittent transmission seal leak that eventually became worse. It did not affect the vehicle's performance but would have if it had continued to loose transmission fluid."

"Had the wrong mechanic work on transmission and had leaks after work was done."

"The transmission is leaking at the drive shaft yoke area and the repair includes replacing the drive shaft."

"Small leak in the rear seal. Repaired under warranty"

"Transmission drive shaft"

"In the past 12 months, the tundra has had 6 different seals "blow" or leak excessively. One seal required the engine to be "pulled" in order to replace the seal"

"Solenoid Failed caused hard shifting"

"Transmission was not engaging and it was a design defect corrected by Toyota. 4wd sometimes does not disengage"

"induction pump failed"

"Radiator cracked during the 1st year. Engine heat sensor failed too. Almost lost the whole engine. New radiator's connection clips rusted to nothing in 2 years. Sold the vehicle"

"Radiator was eaten away by coolant, so radiator was decaying from the inside out and had to be replaced"

"Water pump stopped .Replaced pump.parts,$200...Labor$ 800. Why is water pump so difficult to replace because of location?"

"the water pump was an expensive repair, access for the mechanic is limited so shoptime was expensive- 5 hours by the toyota book"

"Water pump was leaking and needed to be replaced"

"Water pump leaked and main belt on engine failed. Second time had to replace serpentine belt"

"Leak"

"replaced"

"started leaking antifreeze at about 60,000 miles. Not replaced because leak coagulates, but needs antifreeze more often"

"The water pump leaked and was replaced"

"mechanic saw water pump leaking->replaced"

"pump failed while in downtown traffic - towed and replaced"

"LEAKING AT 39000 MILES. REPLACED"

"water pump failed, not under warranty. had timing chain replaced at same time as recommended by dealer"

"leaks a little,Lifetime warranty provided by dealer is worthless!"

"Had to replace the water pump for the second time"

"dealership claimed water pump was leaking when replacing timing belt. no parts provided. no leak was evident"

"alternator failed and had to be replaced"

"i would be driving and the check engine light came on, the truck would begin sputterring and jerking violently i was forced to pull over turn the truck off and upon resarting the issue would be resolved after the second time it happened i scheduled"

"It is possible that whatever triggered the warning lights also damaged the sensor. We may never know."

"The starter went out in late January or February of 2020 with no warning. I wasn't sure what the issue was because starter problems on previous vehicles tended to give some idea they were having problems. I had just been to my dealership for an oil change and thought maybe they had somehow discharged the battery or something. My daughter has a friend that is a Toyota mechanic. He looked at it and was able to order and replace the starter."

"Car wouldn't start intermittently. Starter was replaced."

"Starter failed after low use during winter, had to be towed to repair facility and starter was replaced."

"Truck wouldn't turn over or start. When I turned the ignition key, I would only hear a single click or nothing at all. The battery checked out fine"

"The starter failed and had to be replaced"

"Original starter motor failed at 125,000 miles"

"Starter dead at 140000 miles ... $1100 to fix"

"Rear door power locks failed on both sides within 6 months of each other. expensive replacements"

"Driver door doesn't lock/unlock w/ key fob. Only works when pushing the actual button on inside of vehicle. Dealer says it's fixed but clearly it doesn't work correctly"

"The seat controls knob fell off"

"Had to have a new bed put on because of rust on ther bed"

"Tailgate latch failed. Made from cheap plastic."

"Latch is very hard to open tailgate with"

"The tailgate latching broke necessitating replacement. It broke too"

"The tailgate latch mechanism failed to open the tailgate due to the breakage of an internal plastic connection between the tailgate handle and the latch."

"Rear bumper rusted bad and hole rusted through"

"small plastic joint that connects the rod to the latch broke"

"The side window weather seals are falling to pieces"

"Water pump is leaking and needs to be replaced"

"The water pump failed and the engine overheated"

"I have a leaky rear shock seal that requires replacement"

"Window weather stripping deteriated with age"

"weatherstripping on roof & windows cracked. But this is Arizona & truck in weather 24/7"

"REAR OUTSIDE CABIN BRAKE LIGHT LEAKS AROUND SEAL. ALSO NOTICED ON MY BROTHERS 09 TUNDRA"

"Had issues with water leaking around top of windshield; it would leak into roof and drip into cab from middle of roof. Toyota fixed two or three times, now it's fine"

"i was driving down the highway yeserday, in the rain and water was leaking above the rear window,between the seal and the vehicle not the seal and window"

"Front passenger door stop became loose. One month. YouTube video I watched fixed in ten minutes"

"metal cover plate over exhaust system"

"Belts were squealing and needed a special part to resolve. Took 3 dealership garages until it was finally fixed"

"dealer broke a tube on a recall issue. would not repair"

"Leak in the driver's side exhaust manifold"

"bad design wrong hardware"

"came loose or fell off"

"Every one of the aluminum alloy catalytic converter heat shields and under-floor heat shields have corroded through around the mounting bolts allowing the heat shields to rattle or fall off"

"Hole on top of muffler"

"The exhaust pipes were rattling because the harnesses used to secure them rusted out. They needed to replaced at minimum cost."

"The Tundra had TRD dual exhaust. The pipe had rusted at the weld where the pipes were connected together."

"After 10 yrs ownership the exhaust system is leaking at brackets to pipe welds giving out and corroded. Only place there are leaks. Perhaps welding was detrimental. To metals. Integrity"

"All exhaust, muffler, and tail pipes rusted out"

"The power steering pressure regulator leaked"

"Normal maintenance- became a need at 175000 miles. Much better than other brands last"

"Decided to replace and rebuild suspension after 175000 miles. Considered maintenance"

"The shocks wore out."

"Front struts began to leak fluid and had to be replaced"

"Rear shock blew all oil out and failed"

"Broken leaf spring, no reason except poor steel"

"linkage u joints rusting stiff r/s @37000 miles l/s linkage rusting stiff @ 67000 miles"

"Random occurrence at highway speeds , 65 miles per hour or higher with or without cruise control on.."

"Tie rod ends replaced twice"

"Shutter"

"Rebuild required at 290000km. Rebuilt at 292000kms."

"Erratic shifting was determined to be caused by a defective relay within the transmission case; the choice was either rebuilding or replacing with a Toyota remanufactured one - the latter option was chosen with the dealer installing a new/rebuilt (?) Toyota transmission, which is working just fine."

"It started a few months ago. It only happened once or twice in about 3 months. Then two weeks ago I was getting ready to enter the highway and it wouldn't go past 35. I kept stepping on the gas and it wouldn't accelerate. It slowly began to pick up speed and finally reached 55 but then as I exited the highway. Once on the access road, it began again and wouldn't go past 35. Now it continues at all time. We had the torque converter replaced but a week later it began again. So it's sitting at a friend's/mechanics house who is trying to figure out what is wrong with it since all the codes show they are working properly but the check engine light is on and the tire pressure light has been on even after replacing all tire sensors."

"The vehicle warranty expired because it was past the 3 year mark, but it had less than 60000 miles on it."

"The wiring harness through the firewall shorted and burnt up the electronics inside the transmission which fried several of the solenoids and burnt up the clutches. $5500 to repair"

"At 85000 miles a new transmission was installed"

"after about 5 years a rumbling or minor roaring sound developed. finally a factory rep drove it and declared that they would fix it under warranty"

"A few weeks ago I needed to replace the (R) front headlight although I did both at once... The (R) had burned out."

"Foggy headlight glass"

"although the keyless device works, the locks don't always work. 3 out of the 4 locks work intermediately."

"I have replaced 6 door locks at a price of approximately 500 a repair"

"Light stays on but tires pressure is fine"

"that it gives a false security when it stays on or goes on and off and nothing is wrong with the tires pressures."

"Engine stopped while driving, all warning lights came on, as if I had turned the key to the acc setting. Engine would not re-start. After approximately 10 minutes, engine restarted."

"Purchased this vehicle used, and 7 months later spent a ridiculous amount of money ($650) diagnosing the issue with the dealer to realized that a ground wire was not properly connected. All the warning lights in the dash board were on"

"Bearing went out on fan pulley assembly. That caused the belt to jump on crank pulley and split belt in half. This happened while we were on vacation"

"Belts squeaky & expensive to replace"

"Won't start due to engine immobilizer circuit"

"While driving all warning lights lit up at the same time. It was eventually determined to have been caused by a bad sensor associated with a signal that works in conjunction with a signal between the power steering pump and air conditioning compressor."

"Toyota recalled the truck and changed the computer settings. That resulted in a loss of 6 MPG. The dealer tells me they cannot change the computer back to the previous settings and that I am going to have to get used to the lesser MPG"

"fuel injectors adding unburned fuel to crank case"

"problem not resolved looking for oil leak top end of engine"

"There is apparently a oil reservoir inside the engine which can leak and to fix you have to dismantle the bottom of the engine. A $2,000 repair"
