    PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH 67 MILES ON IT, AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES IT STARTED TO MAKE A DRAGGING SOUND FROM THE FRONT DRIVE TRAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT HEAR OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. HAD IT BACK ANOTHER TIME FOR INSPECTION AND MENTIONED NOISE AGAIN BUT STILL THEY COULD NOT "HEAR ANYTHING". I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK SINCE THEN WITH THE NOISE COMING AND SUBSIDING, THE TRUCK NOW HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT AND THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH VIBRATIONS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SEVEN YEAR WARRANTY RAN OUT AND I'M SURE THAT IF I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY WILL NOW HEAR THE NOISE. I LOOKED AT ONLINE FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS, TOYOTA HAS TO KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS.

    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 .

    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.

    REPORTING A SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING THE ECM, WIRE HARNESS, AND A SENSOR ATTACHED TO THE TRANSMISSION. IN PARTICULAR, A TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILED AND ALLOWED A TRANSMISSION FLUID TO WICK ITS WAY THROUGH THE WIRE HARNESS AND INTO THE COMPUTER FOR THE TRUCK. IN THIS CASE, THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK'S STARTER TO ENGAGE WHEN THE LIGHTS FOR THE VEHICLE WERE TURNED ON, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE TRUCK WAS ALREADY RUNNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP RUNNING, EVEN WHEN THE KEY WAS DISENGAGED FROM THE IGNITION. UPON ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE DAYLIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, THE TRUCK DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY STREET, JUST AFTER PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK FOR A FEW DAYS, THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD GOTTEN INTO THE COMPUTER AND THAT THIS WAS MOST LIKELY THE CAUSE FOR THE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN SHOWED ME THE COMPUTER, TURNED IT UPSIDE DOWN, AND I COULD SEE THE FLUID DRIPPING OUT. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS WAS $3,855.95. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE, WHICH WAS DENIED CITING THE FACT THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. TOYOTA DID NOT ISSUE A WRITTEN RESPONSE, AND I SIMPLY RECEIVED A PHONE CALL TO TELL ME THAT THE CLAIM WAS DENIED. I EXPLAINED THAT AN ISSUE SUCH AS THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN OVER NIGHT AND THIS FLUID COULD HAVE BEEN LEAKING INTO THE COMPUTER FOR YEARS. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE [name removed] CARE ABOUT THIS FACT OR THE POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH FLUID GETTING INTO THE TRUCK'S COMPUTER. A FAULTY COMPUTER, DAMAGED BY TRANSMISSION FLUID COULD CAUSE A NUMBER OF SAFETY ISSUES. IN THE CASE OF MY TRUCK, IT WAS THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IF NHTSA COULD LOOK INTO THIS. I AM AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR FOLLOW UP. THANK YOU.

    MY 2009 TOYOTA TUNDRA WAS REPAIRED BY TOYOTA THIS PAST FRIDAY AS A RESULT OF THE THROTTLE BODY STICKING OPEN..IE WOULD STALL. AFTER REPAIRS, THE TRUCK DROVE FINE FOR 2 HRS APPROX. AFTER STOPPING FOR SUPPER (1HR) I STARTED MY TRUCK AGAIN...THIS TIME THE ENGINE ACCELERATED IN PARK UPTO 5,000 + RPMS FOR 10-15SECS AND THEN DOWN TO 500 RMPS...THEN REPEATED THIS OVER AND OVER. I WAITED TIL THE RPMS DROPPED TO 500 AND PLACED TRUCK IN GEAR TO TRY TO GET IT HOME. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED AND TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN...ALMOST TAKING ME THROUGH A RED LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO PRESS HARD ENOUGH ON THE BRAKES TO STOP IN TIME....THEN IT TOOK OFF AGAIN FOR ANOTHER BLOCK WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING BUT RIDING THE BRAKES. I TURNED INTO A RANDALLS PARKING LOT WHEN RPMS DROPPED TO 500 AGAIN,...DODGING PEOPLE WHO WERE WALKING INTO THE GROCERY STORE. WHEN IT DROPPED AGAIN, I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND PUT TRUCK INTO PARK. THIS, ALL WHILE THE ENGINE WAS CONSISTENTLY CHANGING FROM 500RPMS UPTO 5,000+ RPMS WITH NO INTERRUPTION'S CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, STILL SHAKING, BUT ONLY ONE PERSON WAS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP...HE ADVISED SINCE THEY WERE CLOSED THAT ANOTHER DEALER WAS OPEN LATER. SO I HAD TRUCK TOWED THERE. MY ORIGINAL REPAIR, THEY WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY (13,000 MILES ON TRUCK) BECAUSE THEY SAID I HAD VIOLATED THE WARRANTY BY INSTALLING A FUEL SAVING DEVICE, WHICH HAD DAMAGED THE THROTTLE BODY. I PAID THEM TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY...AND THEN (APPROX.3HRS LATER) THE TRUCK DECIDED TO DRIVE ITSELF,...AND I FEARED I WAS GOING TO HIT SOMEONE, BOTH CARS AND PEDESTRIANS. I NEVER THOUGHT WHAT I HAD READ ABOUT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME. *TR

I DRIVE IN A SUV, SO IF THEY ARE BLINDING ME, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN A CAR! ITS VERY HARD TO TRY STAYING ON ROAD WHEN THEY GO PAST ITS SO BRIGHT, A COUPLE TIMES I ACTUALLY WENT OFF THE ROAD A LITTLE. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUSLY SAFETY ISSUE FOR NIGHT DRIVERS, EVERY SINGLE TUNDRA IS LIKE THIS.
