Horn stopped working right after I bought this truck from a dealer. I did some research on why it stopped. I was told and also read that it was the air bag clock spring. This controls the air bags and horn and other components. What it is the clock spring was installed by Toyota that had a bad spot on it. This causes the wiring harness to start rubbing and cutting into the wires. Would cause the horn to stop working and the air bags not to work and other things that is wired to this harness also. This should be a safety concern, and Toyota needs to recall to fix. Read that the 2011 Toyota's was bad for doing this. Costing the customer about $800 to fix. I have the truck about 3 months. Might be the reason it was traded in. Works some times and doesn't work. I am worried the air bags will deploy if not fixed. Please check into this. I would like to know what you find out before I spend the money to get it fixed On Social Security and don't have that much money in hand to have fixed.

On 11/25/22 I meet with American Auto Mall to buy a used truck I was assured through text, website and window sticker that the truck was in excellent condition inside and out.. I have all this documents proofing this.. I did van limited inspection at the lot and a test drive.. found nothing that stuck out.. other than the radio not working but the dealership said he would reimburse me if I got it fixed..so after that a down payment was made of $5550 dollars and paperwork was signed.. I drove the truck home and the next week I got in it and it wouldn't start, turns out it needed a battery and alternator, so I took it to a shop and was told that this vehicle was badly rusted and had a lot of hidden rust damage.. and improperly installed brakes., coolant leaks and exhaust leaks.. after finding this out I tried to call the dealership and he hasn't been replying.. I was also told this truck wouldn't pass a legal VA inspection.. so the current one was fraudulent I have all documents that support my case. I will like to turn this vehicle back in and given a full refund

Horn siren is not being activated when pressed by center switch on steering wheel. After researching many tundra message boards, this appears to be a frequent problem amongst tundra owners. Incident: vehicle in front of me at drivethru backed into me when they thought they were in drive after repositioning themselves for mic. I was not able to beep my horn and warn them. Luckily no damage occurred.

2011 Toyota Tundra check engine light, 2lo, and traction control light all came on. Took to dealer, dealer found rodent damage to wiring harness. Replaced wiring harness and cleaned out mouse nest. Rodents were attracted to soy based wiring used in Tundra trucks. Over $600 in damage, not covered by Toyota, but should be!

Most door locks do not lock/unlock automatically. It's getting worse. I fear I will be locked in or out very soon if not fixed. If I had to get in the truck quickly for safety, I couldn't. usually 2 of the 4 will not work - but you never know which ones. Have to manually unlock/lock other doors from inside.

I bought my Tundra with 7 miles on it so I know its not neglect that causes this problem it's poor quality part..the clock spring under the steering wheel is malfunctioning my horn doesn't work it only has 60K on it I've been a loyal Toyota technician as well as II\ owned a few I called the hotline (Toyota)theirs nothing they could do for me I will not recommend Toyota to my customers any longer poor quality parts cost the consumer not the dealer its a shame the once mighty Toyota Corp has become just like the american counterparts

I was headed to springfield on I-95 and a car was coming into my lane and I tried to blow the horn and there was nothing. I ended up swerving into the left lane with traffic coming. It's happen a few times. I checked my fuse and it was fine. I ended up having to replace the air bag clock spring. It was a close call for a pile up situation let me tell you. $365.33 to have the air bag clock spring replaced. That should of never happen.

My vehicle first had its wiring harness destroyed by a rodent of some sort a couple of weeks ago. After sending it to the repair shop and $7000 dollars later, I brought my truck home and everything worked fine. I tried many remedies to discourage the rodents from returning but nothing seems to deter them from the soy based insulation on my trucks wiring harness. I now have to send my truck back for repairs to the same wiring harness ($7000) as before, and also another wiring harness which will probably cost close to the same. How can Toyota get away with making insulation out of rodent food when these wires operate the ABS braking system? this practice not only puts a financial burden on the owner but also compromises their safety.

My 2011 Toyota Tundra has experienced issues with the internal climate control system from day 1 of purchase. I have discussed this with Toyota and have had in for service at least 5 times. The recirculation button (which is electronic, not manual) will automatically switch off while driving every three (3) minutes and allow outside air to flow in. While quite annoying at times, it is especially dangerous when I visit my cabin in Julian California in the winter, and the switch to outside air blows in the outside 20 degree F weather, while driving 20 miles down a very dark (no lighting) and very curving road populated by many deer. My attention is focused on the center climate center, and not the road ahead. Toyota has given me many explanations, several which were incorrect, and now they just concede that it's working exactly as designed. Their rehearsed answer is that all cars should only be driven with the outside air coming in to avoid recirculated moisture damage to the interior. This does not work in freezing weather! I've been on the web to the Tundra forum, and others voice the same complaint. An air recirculation control which will not stay engaged and allows in extreme cold weather, diesel fumes, etc. Is a safety issue. Toyota has shown me the options within the computer, and there are apparently no options to override this issue. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The Tundra is kept in our garage and is driven one or two times a week. On christmas day 2014, when I drove the Tundra, I noticed a number of unusual lights flashing on the dash, including the check engine light. When I examined the engine, I found a rats nest on top, and I suspected a rodent had damaged the wires. I took the Tundra to the local Toyota dealer, and the service representative told me that the insulation on the wires of my Tundra contains soy which is attractive to rodents. It turns out that 7 wires needed to be overlaid at a cost of $760. It seems to me that putting soy in the insulation around electrical wires is a design flaw that could lead to rodent-caused damage that could lead to safety problems. I did some google research, and it appears that this flaw has been known since at least 2011, and was described in an article in motor age magazine. I do not know if rodent-damaged wires have cause any automobile accidents, but they are causing american consumers a great deal of money. For example, I read the testimony of a 2012 Toyota highlander owner who had rodent-caused damage that required $6,400 in repairs.

"on 12/26/2014, I started my Tundra, placed it into gear after a 30 second pause and proceeded to literally stand on my breaks to stop the vehicle from lurching forward. The back tires spun causing smoke to emanate from the screeching tires. At the time I placed the vehicle in gear, a pedestrian was walking in front of the Tundra. I almost squashed them."

I have a 2011 Tundra SR5 with a loud clicking noise that has been coming from the steering column near the shift lever. While in park, the brake pedal must be pressed in order to shift the truck into gear. When I press the brake pedal, a loud click can be heard from the column shifter. This is the column shift lockout solenoid and is normal. However, recently I can hear the solenoid clicking anytime I depress the brake pedal while I'm in gear. Sometimes it is a click, two clicks and sometimes it is series of rapid clicks. I have taken the truck to the dealer twice. The first time I was told the clicking was normal while in park and that they could not duplicate it while in gear. The second time I took it to the dealer, they "blew out the excess grease" from the shift lock. Their best explanation is that the column shift lock solenoid comes from the factory as a sealed unit and is packed with grease. The 'excess' grease can keep the locking arm from fully retracking or engaging and the solenoid will chatter because it is trying to put it into position.
