This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.

  Fix: Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at [phone removed].

  • Filed Feb 2024

    The fuel pump failed on my Tundra. Several dashboard check engine lights suddenly lit up to warn me of the issue. While I was able to safely get it to a mechanic to repair the independent Toyota certified mechanic I use shared they have seen a volume of these where the car stops immediately with the Fuel pump failing completely. I was lucky as the day prior to this I was driving through mountain passes on the highway in Colorado. I have since found out from the feedback from my mechanic that they have repaired a volume of these, and it is a known issue by Toyota who issued a technical service bulletin. The fuel pump needs to be replaced with a different specification - the original pump is not sufficient. My concern is putting driver/passenger safety at risk with a complete fuel pump failure while driving. I consider this a near-miss for me, and would worry about others that are about to have this issue.

    The horn can not be operated by the steering wheel. The horn still works when the panic alarm is pressed. According to several forums that I have visited, it’s a common issue with the steering column rubbing the insulation off of the wire.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A SPLINE BUSHING THAT MATCHES UP WITH A MATCHING SPLINE ON THE SHAFT SO I COULD NOT SEE HOW THIS COULD MOVE. I REMOVED THE LOCKING NUT SO I COULD SEE THE WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHAFT CONNECT TOGETHER. WITH THE NUT OFF I NOTICED THAT THE SPLINE BUSHING DID NOT MOVE BUT THE STEERING WHEEL DID MOVE ON THE BUSHING. THERE WAS A POTENTIAL DANGER OF THE STEERING WHEEL COMING LOOSE SO THAT I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OR WORSE YET THE STEERING WHEEL COULD COME COMPLETELY OFF THE COLUMN. THIS PROBLEM CAN EASILY BE CHECKED AS I DID WITH THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE LOCKED POSITION. IF YOU HAVE ANY MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE LOCKED POSITION GET IT CHECKED IMMEDIATELY.

    DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME (BASE) BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY POPPING WHICH PROGRESSED TO A CONSISTENT POPPING FELT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE CORNERED AT SPEED OR WEIGHT SHIFTED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED BY DEALERSHIP AND AN ADJUSTMENT MADE TO THE SEAT RAIL ALIGNMENT PIN. FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO BE FIXED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM ULTIMATELY RETURNED WITH A SIMILAR POPPING NOISE. I ALLOWED IT TO PROGRESS UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP COULD REPRODUCE THE POPPING NOISE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT FRAME (BASE). THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED THE SECOND TIME AS A CRACKED WELD IN THE FRAME NEAR THE POINT WHERE THE SEAT BACK AND BASE ARE CONNECTED. THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE SEAT FRAME WITH A NEW ONE. THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF REPAIR WAS 23500 MILES. I AM DOCUMENTING THE ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHERS COMPLAINING ON TRUCK FORUMS OF POPPING IN THE SEAT FRAME. ALSO, I NOTICED THE RECENT TOYOTA RECALL FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE IN OTHER MODEL CARS. *JS

    My power steering gear blew its seal on the passenger side losing all power steering fluid and almost making me crash into a car next to me, and Toyota refuses to cover it stating that I hadn't had the steering gear replaced prior to whenever their dates were this is clearly faulty equipment and faulty machine work on the steering gear itself. why won't Toyota cover it? I tried contacting One Toyota and Downtown Toyota here in Oakland California and they told me that they wanted $250 to inspect my vehicle and that I would definitely have to pay for it because my vehicle was not under recall it states it is a recall if you look it up.It is worded recall if they're not going to cover it sounds like they're trying to back out of covering it until someone gets seriously hurt or killed like I almost did, I will never buy another Toyota again as long as I live because clearly they don't care about the faulty equipment on their vehicles that's going to hurt or kill someone. All they care about is the mighty dollar and that's just wrong. Safety has gone rite the window and if anyone reading this is thinking about buying a Toyota, I would seriously think twice.
