WHEELS Apr 17, 2025
My factory stock Toyota painted steel wheels rotted and I had a 6 inch long area rusted through inside the rim losing air. I was advised by my tire center ,that i took it to ,that was not safe to drive on. I called my local Toyota dealer service manager and was told it was road corrosion and was not under any warranty. What would of happened if I had been on the highway and had a rapid deflation of the tire or what if the wheel broke and came apart. The truck has no rust. I replaced all 4 wheels the very next day. These wheels should be recalled and inspected and replaced if needed before someone gets hurt.

Secondary Air injection pumps went bad
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL Aug 3, 2024
While driving at various speeds (25mph or 65mph) I let off on the accelerator to either slow down or come to a stop, when accelerating again I get a check engine light and I have no power. I limp along for several minutes then all of a sudden the fuel pedal sensor that tells the ecu where the fuel pedal is at catches up and I’m able to continue on with my ride. This is a very dangerous situation to have happen because you are not expecting it and when it does happen it is very unnerving. I’ve spoken to various Toyota dealers and there seems to be a nonchalant attitude about it.

Mechanic stated that the secondary air injection system is a common problem in this generation of Tundra.. I have had my check engine light come on 3 different times and addressed each by replacing all the sensors to the secondary air injection system. My mechanic is a Toyota dealer mechanic. My issue is that my car has lost power to accelerate at highway speeds and came close to causing and accident. I am now at my third attempt at replacing now the actual pump. I understand that Toyota has replaced the gooseneck part where the hose is attaches to the pump. This tells me that there was a problem or else why would they change a good thing? Is there a warranty for this part?

Cam tower leaks oil on the heat shield below it. Cam tower uses rtv rubber seal instead of a gasket. The rubber deteriorates and the cam tower leaks engine oil on the heat shield. Not clear why Toyota used form in place rubber material instead of real gasket. Repair however is major. Need to take apart engine to repair. Major repair. The fix is to replace it with the same material again. Which is subject to deteriorate again. This is a know issue on the 5.7 L engine. Toyota seems to have its head in the sand hoping they shouldn’t be forced to recall. However this is a know design flaw resulting in leaking oil on the heat shield. With no Toyota recommended new design or parts repair except to do it all over again and hope it doesn’t leak again it’s ridiculous. . Terrible design that leaks oil on the heat shield.

There was initially no warning light illuminated; however, after arriving home, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 122,000.
WHEELS May 19, 2022
In 2017 while driving home from a restaurant with my husband, mother and sister when on highway 60 in Show Low Arizona we started experiencing a shaking which seemed to come from the from end of the truck. Since we were only a short distance from home we slowly made our way down the side road. As soon as we turned into our driveway the truck came to a quick stop. We jumped out and found that the passenger front tire and rim had separated from the truck. A full bed tow truck came and took the truck to Hatch Toyota in Show Low Arizona. The second incident occurred last year (2021) while we were moving to Sarcoxie Missouri. My husband was on Interstate 40 just east of Albuquerque when he experienced the truck shaking and upon immediately pulling off to the side of the road noted the left front wheel and rim had separated from the vehicle. The truck was taken to the Albuquerque Toyota for repair. I am having the rims replaced at this time as I understand that after-market rims may be the cause. I would really like to know for sure. I would not want to trade this truck in for fear of another family being harmed.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Mar 9, 2022
We are a surveying company with a fleet of 35 Toyota Tundra trucks. Two of the trucks in our Denver location have had the engine wiring harness chewed and destroyed by rodents in the parking lot. Each is costing $6,500 to repair. The second truck shorted out and the check engine lights came on, would not start. I am glad this did not fail while someone was driving it. Toyota uses a flexible pipe wrap over some of this wiring that is soy based; the plastic wrapped wiring is unaffected. This problem is well documented on the internet, and very common. Toyota is profiting in a big way from this design defect, and they are compromising safety by risking engine failures due to shorts. They should be forced to install hard plastic wire covers over these harness wires to prevent this damage.

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I WAS DRIVING MY TUNDRA ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROX. 70 MPH. MY TRUCK LOST POWER AND I ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON BOTH INSTANCES SINCE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. I HAD TO MANAGE MY WAY OUT OF THE FREEWAY TO A SAFE PLACE. 2TWO DIAGNOSTICS WERE PERFORMED AND I RECEIVED CODES P0418, P1604, C1241, P2445, P2441. I WAS TOLD BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A FAULTY SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM PUMP AND OTHER COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE SYSTEM AND I WAS PROVIDED A REPAIR COST OF OVER $3,000 DOLLARS. I WAS LATER INFORMED, AND I DISCOVERED THROUGH RESEARCH, THAT TOYOTA HAD INSTALLED FAULTY/DEFECTIVE AIR PUMPS IN THOUSANDS OF TUNDRAS 2013'S LIKE THE ONE THAT I OWN. I REACHED OUT TO CORPORATE OFFICE BUT THEY STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER SOMEHOW DID NOT "QUALIFY" AS ONE OF THE AFFECTED PICKUPS. MY TUNDRA ONLY HAS 60K MILES AND I USE IT TO COMMUTE FROM AND TO WORK BASICALLY. I PERFORM ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH A DEFECTIVE SECONDARY AIR PUMP SYSTEM THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX. MY TRUCK IS A LIABILITY ON THE ROAD AND THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. IT LOOSES POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATES. TOYOTA RECALLED THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND FIXED THEM AFTER THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY HAD PLACED FAULTY AIR PUMP SYSTEMS.

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I WAS DRIVING MY TUNDRA ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROX. 70 MPH. MY TRUCK LOST POWER AND I ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON BOTH INSTANCES SINCE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. I HAD TO MANAGE MY WAY OUT OF THE FREEWAY TO A SAFE PLACE. 2TWO DIAGNOSTICS WERE PERFORMED AND I RECEIVED CODES P0418, P1604, C1241, P2445, P2441. I WAS TOLD BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A FAULTY SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM PUMP AND OTHER COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE SYSTEM AND I WAS PROVIDED A REPAIR COST OF OVER $3,000 DOLLARS. I WAS LATER INFORMED, AND I DISCOVERED THROUGH RESEARCH, THAT TOYOTA HAD INSTALLED FAULTY/DEFECTIVE AIR PUMPS IN THOUSANDS OF TUNDRAS 2013'S LIKE THE ONE THAT I OWN. I REACHED OUT TO CORPORATE OFFICE BUT THEY STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER SOMEHOW DID NOT "QUALIFY" AS ONE OF THE AFFECTED PICKUPS. MY TUNDRA ONLY HAS 60K MILES AND I USE IT TO COMMUTE FROM AND TO WORK BASICALLY. I PERFORM ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH A DEFECTIVE SECONDARY AIR PUMP SYSTEM THAT TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX. MY TRUCK IS A LIABILITY ON THE ROAD AND THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. IT LOOSES POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATES. TOYOTA RECALLED THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND FIXED THEM AFTER THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY HAD PLACED FAULTY AIR PUMP SYSTEMS.

ENGINE Jun 18, 2020
MY 2013 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK ( 74,734 MILES) SUDDENLY HAD ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE AT 48 MPH. I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. AFTER EVENTUALLY PULLING THE WHEEL WITH MUCH EFFORT AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY AND THE ENGINE STARTED RIGHT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN BUT ONLY AT A REDUCED SPEED OF 40 MPH OR LESS ( IT'S CALLED "LIMP" MODE) MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS A SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATING THIS ON SEVERAL TUNDRA OWNER MESSAGE BOARDS, I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE TUNDRA TRUCKS AT AROUND 75000 MILES. THE TOYOTA DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM AND LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER TO SEE IF IT QUALIFIED FOR A WARRANTY EXTENSION PROGRAM THAT TOYOTA HAS OFFERED FOR SOME 2012 AND 2013 TUNDRA TRUCKS. UNFORTUNATELY MY VIN NUMBER WAS A FEW NUMBERS BEYOND THE EXTENSION PROGRAM. HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I AM NOT SO SURE SHE WOULD HAVE HAD THE STRENGTH TO SAFELY BRING THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL AND GET IT OFF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. I WANT TOYOTA TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS FAULTY PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY ADMITTED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AND SHOULD EXTEND IT TO ALL TOYOTA TRUCK OWNERS WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. NOT JUST A SELECT FEW. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED PREVIOUS RECALLS FROM OLDER MODEL TOYOTA TRUCKS DUE RUST OCCURRING TO FRAMES AND BEDS. CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY 2013 TUNDRA SPECIFIC TO THIS. HOWEVER, IT SEEMS LIKE THE FRAME RUST ISSUES CONTINUED PAST THE EARLIER RECALL. MY TRUCK IS 2013 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH APPROX 35,000 MILES. THERE IS RUST ON THE FRAME AND BUBBLING THROUGH MY TRUCK BED LINER. FROM FORBES I NOTICED THERE WAS A $3.4 BILLION RECALL FOR TOYOTA TRUCKS AND SUVS FROM 2005-2010. FROM FURTHER RESEARCH ON VARIOUS FORUMS, I NOTICED OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. I SPOKE TO TOYOTA, THEY STATED THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY YEAR TRUCK. I WILL SHARE SOME PHOTOS FROM RUST BUBBLING THROUGH THE TRUCK BED. IF YOU WOULD LIKE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE. I REALLY AM UNSURE THE NEXT COARSE OF ACTION. I HAVE NEVER SUBMITTED ANYTHING TO NHTSA BEFORE. I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO RESEARCH THIS FURTHER TO DETERMINE IF A RECALL COULD BE ISSUED. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

ECU PROBLEM. SINCE JUNE 2018, I HAVE STARTED TO SEE DECREASED MPG (AVG 9 MPG, 50/50) AND VEHICLE EXHIBITING HIGH ALC. DENSITY % WHEN FUELED WITH E0/E10 GAS. NO DTC CODES, BUT EXTENDED CRANK EXHIBITED, POOR PERFORMANCE AND SHIFTING OBSERVED. THIS IS A FLEX VEHICLE. FUEL TRIMS WERE WAY INTO NEGATIVE AND I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA AND FILED A CASE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 2 MONTHS.(CALLED AUG 2018) VEHICLE HAD 55K MILES. THEY SAID ITS UP TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RE CALIBRATED THE ECU PER TOYOTA TSB 0058-13 (SO THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM , BUT NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT) TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING, (DIESELGATE) FOR A YEAR, VEHICLE WAS FINE AND DID NOT SHOW ANY ISSUES WITH ALC. DENSITY % , MPG WAS NORMAL AND PERFORMANCE/DRIVEABILITY IMPROVED, UNTIL SEP 2019. SAME THING. ALC. DENSITY % TOO HIGH CAUSING POOR MPG. I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER TOO JUST RESET THE VALUES, EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE FALLS UNDER FEDERAL EMISSION STANDARDS AND IT HAS WARRANTY OF 84 MONTHS OR 80K. SO EVEN AFTER THE FIX ECU CHANGES THE VALUES AFTER A YEAR. CLEARLY ECU ISSUE THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THIS GOES AGAINST GAS EMISSIONS (GHG) AND FUEL ECONOMY STANDARDS FOR LIGHT-DUTY VEHICLES. THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES ABOUT THIS OUT THERE ON FLEX FUEL TUNDRAS, BUT TOYOTA IS TRYING TO HIDE THIS.
