I have a 2000 Tundra 4 X 4 I was driving to the store when my right front ball joints broke and I slid about 40 yards the front tire ended up under the front end damage to my fender and bumper as well. If this would have happen on the fwy I would had been dead.

Tundra 8-cyl

During state vehicle inspection, it was found that both left & right leaf springs were broken with pieces easily removed by dealer. Dealer service person stated that they have seen a few of these come in lately. I have not loaded the truck bed at all nor have I towed anything near capacity. I have a small outboard boat and have not even used that yet this year. I did had banging noise for past month but thought it was the trailer hitch.

Tundra 8-cyl

Was struck side struck by a vehicle running a red light. My head struck the drivers side window, transported by fire & rescue to local hospital. Hospital diagnosis was a "closed wound concussion". other driver was charged on multiple counts. Mechanics that repaired my truck estimate the vehicle that hit me was travelling 40-45mph. My airbags did not deploy. Impact area on my truck was front driver side quarter panel and front left tire. Have viewed a side impact crash test for my make, model and year. In that test the airbags did deploy and the driver dummy hit head in exact location as I did. I would assume the crash test dummy would not have received a concussion due to the protection from the side airbag deployment. One of the reasons for my purchase of this vehicle was the safety aspect. The manufacturer marketed the airbag system as a key selling point. I did have my seat belt on at the time of the crash. I can provide police accident report, photos of both vehicles, repair detail for my truck and personal damage.

Tundra

I went to load the bed with some furniture and saw a bolt protruding through the bed of the truck. Upon further investigation found the right rear shock absorber broke loose from the top connection and went through the truck bed. After taking to the dealer they found the top connecting nuts/bolt on the left rear was also missing. We are now in a fight over who pays. I bought the truck as a used certified Toyota Tundra on 2 April, this happened on 7 April 2011. They contend someone tried to steel my shocks so it's not their's to pay. I contend they'd have to go past $3K worth of aftermarket tires and wheels to take the shocks...I don't thing a smart thief would do that. Additionally, if both shocks were missing the top connection items it makes sense to me that they were never installed in the manufacturing process as they don't 'back themselves' out. They were never there or someone took them off and it wasn't me! as a minium someone missed this on the certified inspection check list. Let me know if you want the final outcome and the dealers name!

Tundra

  • 1,500 miles
I have noticed an incredible bounce while driving on the freeway and local way. It has only 1,500 miles and this does not seem normal and concerns me. The tires doesn't seem to change the bounce effect. I can't even put my family in the back seat because they feel uncomfortable and start bouncing everywhere. The problem needs to be addressed and fixed by botoya.

The truck bounces real bad on some concrete roads at about 65 mph to the point I have to slow down or change lanes to get it to stop. On the same roads I can not hold the gas pedal steady its revving the engine up on every bounce I think the recall made the peddle to sensitive on rough roads.
