Frame perforation, front passenger side, bottom part of frame in critical point where weld is, in close distance from rack and pinion. At the dealer while servicing have asked to check the frame as there ben lots of concern from Tundra owners. I'm aware that early models have had frames replaced, perforation was found 7'' long by 3'' wide, vehicle was deemed NOT SAFE TO OPERATE. There is no action from Toyota on 2009's. Have called the Toyota brand rep to confirm and found that there is no action taken at this moment.There was no warning signs on dash as this is not part to be electronically monitored.This vehicle is well maintained and in its prime shape.Regularly washed with frame/chassis inhibitors (RASTEX).Has only 146 K, for this model considering not broken in yet. I'm its original owner. Just spend a significant amount of $$$ on service and additional equipment, was looking for another 5 years +++ of use. Just purchased RAV 4 and COROLLA S hatchback for family members.TOYOTA is not offering to help at no coast. I know that if my track will reach 15 year mark there will be nothing to be concerned by Toyota.Fix is estimated parts and labor over $10 K, I do not have this kind of money at this time as just purchased 2 BN Toyota's. Please help !!!!!, thank You

I had the accelerator stick two times recently. My tires spun very fast and I almost took off into a very busy highway. I would have been killed if I didn't quickly put the truck in neutral until the engine revved down. This is a helpless feeling and something is not right with the manufacturing of the truck.

The check engine light came on in my vehicle during a five mile trip to work and is still on. The diagnostic code revealed a fault in an air valve. After some research I discovered that Toyota issued an extended warranty on this part because of a known issue affecting the same year/make/model as my Tundra. I called the dealership to ask about the repair process as I was within the 10 year/150K mile extended warranty period. They stated the part was replaced in 2014. I was then directed to call Toyota customer service. Customer service told me they could not honor the extended warranty because the part was already replaced. I do not have faith that replacing the part will fix my truck in the long run. Toyota obviously identified a fault with their trucks and extended the warranty on a known bad part. But, this did not fix the truck. The same problem has come back again after the part was replaced at a Toyota dealership only four years ago. I believe that even if I have the truck fixed, the problem will persist every couple of years. I believe Toyota should be liable for replacing the part.

2009 Toyota Tundra, 5 mos after purchase(5-16-09),my drive shaft replaced, while driving will not change gears will accelerate by itself as if the cruise control is on which is caused the odometer to read incorrectly, (reading 44,000 miles) & use excessive amount of fuel. Several fluid leaks, muffler replaced, transmission will not shift properly when accelerating & when I come to a complete stop it take time before is shift into stop, & electrical problems. Engine light comes on, ticking noise & vibration in the motor. These have codes coming up. My truck need to be replaced because this is causing more problems for the future. One problem leads to another. I was told by ron carter Toyota that I am being unreasonable for wanting my truck fixed right & not to bring it back to there dealer or they will call the police on me for wanting my vehicle replaced because I know I have been deceived & solded a lemon. I was told by the former service manager (now fired) bill crichton that I could look on the Toyota web site & look for the tsb (Toyota service bulletin) to find the info about Tundra's, I have not found that info yet. Please help I am paying for something that is not operating properly or safely. This is my only means of transportation & all I want is a new vehicle with no problems. Thank you.
