I took the pickup to Western Slope Toyota for the throttle recall and asked them to check the wheel bearings as I was hearing a slight rumble sound. Service took 4 times as long as their estimate and I was very agitated when it was finally finished. Nothing was noted on the service order when given to the cashier so I had her call the Service dept. but no one answered. She left and returned in a few minutes saying the mechanic said it was tire noise. Stock tires not worn much. They did not even do a test drive as the trip odometer showed only 4/10 mile since fill up and the Station is 2/10 mile from the dealer. Needless to say I was pissed and have not returned to this dealer.

Too busy to deal with their BS the warranty ran out. 9/2/2016 the truck mileage was just 40000. I replaced the right rear wheel bearing and contacted Toyota [Incident: 160901-000215]. What a joke.Lady very polite but like a robot repeats "I'm sorry" a dozen times but Toyota has no plan to repair or pay for anything. Toyota TSB on bearing failure in 2007 and reissued later even as late as 2010. This should be a factory recall not a TSB. You sell a defective product you repair it "no charge". I will file another complaint as 3000 miles later the right front wheel bearing failed and now a slight rumble is coming from the left front. Terrible quality control and worse customer service.

Same problem just a different location. Right front wheel bearing this time. Good thing I made my living as a mechanic for years or I could go broke fixing this Tundra.Toyota has has multiple TSBs about wheel bearing failure but does not do a recall as they should. A recurring problem. Poor Quality Control that becomes the owners problem. I could see a problem if this truck was abused but that is far from the case. I have pulled a travel trailer that weights 4800 lbs dry half a dozen times for probably a total of less than a thousand miles and a 2 placed snowmobile trailer about 2500 to 3000 miles and hauled a 100 gallon fuel tank a few times. This is terrible for a pickup that was rated to pull about 10000 lbs. I don't think Toyota cares after talking with their representative.

After replacing the RT front bearing I can hear a slight rumble that appears to be the Left front wheel bearing. Maybe I will trade this pickup in before I have to replace every bearing in the truck. The dealer was terrible and Toyota may be worse. Over 240000 miles on my last Chevrolet waith no problems and just under 96000 on an F250 before any repairs were needed. Probably time to change manufacturers!

My truck developed a whirring sound in the drivetrain that grew louder over time and varied depending upon he speed at which I drove the truck.

Of course, I reported it right after it ticked past the warranty mileage amount even though it existed before that but just got worse so it required a fix.

They diagnosed it as bad wheel bearings in the rear axle and I found a TSB acknowledging this was a known issue with my truck.

Toyota refused to fix it under warranty even though it was a known issue, we eventually split the $1200 cost to repair it. I still feel they should have repaired at under their dime since it was a known issue.
