TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND VEHICLE LOSE OF POWER. DASHBOARD ALL WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. TURNED OFF VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO RESET. MANAGED TO GET VEHICLE TO NEARBY PARKING LOT AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER TO DRIVE TRAIN. CAUSE WAS POWER STEERING UNIT SENSOR PER TOYOTA. TOYOTA COVERED PART IN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT THIS COMPLAINT. FROM INTERNET, "SOME 2007-2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE POWER STEERING DTCS P0552 AND/OR P0553. THE POWER STEERING SENSOR HAS SINCE BEEN CHANGED TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION. THE OLD/PREVIOUS POWER STEERING SENSOR IS P/N 89448-34010. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH SENSOR P/N 89448-34020. USING TIS TECHSTREAM, CONFIRM THE CONDITION BY CHECKING FOR DTCS P0552 AND/OR P-553. DISCONNECT THE PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR AND PROCEED WITH REMOVING THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH, WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE POWER STEERING VANE PUMP AND IS MOUNTED TO THE HIGH PRESSURE FEED LINE. INSTALL THE NEW POWER STEERING PRESSURE SENSOR, TIGHTENING TO 15.2 FT.-LBS. (20.6 NM). WITH THE NEW SENSOR FULLY INSTALLED AND CONNECTED, START THE ENGINE AND CHECK FOR LEAKS.

BEARINGS NEED REPLACED IN FRONT RIGHT AND REAR WHEEL HUBS. 70,000 MILES, WOW. MECHANIC WAS FLABBERGASTED TOO. LITTLE EARLY FOR BEARING REPLACEMENT . WITH THE FRAME ALREADY UNDER RECALL. MAKES YOU WONDER WHO WENT CHEAP WITH BEARING'S TOO. I BOUGHT TOYOTA IN THINKING THINGS LIKE THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN. MY 1996 NISSAN FRAME LOOKS BETTER THEN THE FRAME ON MY TRUCK. TOYOTA INSPECTED FRAME . TOLD ME IT LOOKED BETTER THAN MOST . BOLTS THAT HOLD BED ON UNDER MY BED LINER ARE ALREADY RUSTED, AS WELL AS THE BED BODY AND FRAME .TOLD ME IT DOESN'T MEET REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS . SO NOW I'M WAITING FOR THEM TO SPRAY UNDERNEATH BODY. SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN PRODUCTION . I DON'T SEE HOW THAT FIXES A PROBLEM . IF DONE CORRECTLY AND PREPPED BEFORE SPRAYING MAYBE. NEED TO REPLACE ALL FRAMES NOT COATED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

ABNORMAL NOISE AND VIBRATION IN RIGHT REAR WHEEL AS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. TOYOTA DEALER IDENTIFIED RIGHT WHEEL BEARING AS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED IN MAY 2017. DEALERSHIP HAD PROBLEMS REPLACING BEARING AND ALSO CONTACTED TOYOTA CORPORATE TO SEE IF REPAIR COULD BE COVERED-TOYOTA REFUSED TO COVER THE ISSUE. THE REPLACED BEARING FAILED AGAIN IN JUNE 2017 WITH A CLICKING SOUND WHICH INCREASED WITH SPEED. DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING RIGHT REAR BEARING UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. I REPORTED PROBLEMS TO TOYOTA CONSUMER ADVOCATE WHO ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS NO RECOURSE OR ESCALATION SINCE THEY HAD NO RECALLS, SERVICE BULLETINS OR WARRANTY COVERAGE DOCUMENTED. I PROVIDED NHTSA COMPLAINTS AND EVENTUALLY I LOCATED TSB T-SB-0151-10 TO TOYOTA CORP. MY CONCERN IS THAT A BEARING FAILURE CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL OR WHEEL SEPARATION FROM THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NO ASSURANCE FROM EITHER TOYOTA OR THE TOYOTA DEALER THAT THE REMAINING 3 BEARINGS ARE FREE OF THE SAME DEFECT OR THAT THE NEW REPLACEMENT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. WEB SEARCHES HAVE INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY OTHER PARTIES AND GENERALLY UNSUPPORTED BY TOYOTA.

I'M WRITING REGARDING MY 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND A RECENT REAR AXLE WHEEL BEARINGS FAILURE. THE TRUCK ITSELF IS IN METICULOUS CONDITION AND ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. THE REASON FOR THE NOTE IS THAT I'VE SEEN ARTICLES INDICATING THERE HAS BEEN ISSUES AS WELL AS LOCATED A RELATED TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETINS. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT THE BEARINGS THAT WERE INSTALLED WERE UPGRADED BEARINGS. TYPICALLY I WOULDN'T THINK TWICE, BUT KNOWING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS THE OTHER INFORMATION WE HAVE FOUND, I'M CURIOUS IF NHTSA HAS DONE ANY INVESTIGATION OR HAS ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IT CAN SHARE? TOYOTA AND MY DEALER ENDED UP COVERING HALF THE REPAIR, BUT THERE WAS STILL QUITE A BIT WE HAD TO COVER. BEYOND THE BEARING, WE RECENTLY LEARNED THERE MAY BE ISSUES WITH THE FRAME. ANYTHING YOU CAN SHARE ON THAT WOULD ALSO BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. WE HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD THAT TRAVELS IN THE VEHICLES AND THEREFORE SAFETY IS OUR UTMOST IMPORTANCE. *TR

Remedy: TOYOTA FILED AN AMENDED DEFECT REPORT ON NOVEMBER 25, 2009, STATING THAT DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND, ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, ALTER THE SHAPE OF THE FLOOR SURFACE UNDER THE PEDAL. THESE CHANGES ADDRESS THE RISK OF PEDAL ENTRAPMENT DUE TO INTERFERENCE WITH THE FLOOR MAT. REDESIGNED ACCELERATOR PEDALS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE BEGINNING IN APRIL 2010 AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY MODIFIED PEDAL WITH THE NEW PEDAL IF DESIRED. ALSO, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY GENUINE TOYOTA OR LEXUS ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS WITH REDESIGNED ALL-WEATHER MATS, OR REPURCHASE THE PREVIOUS MATS FROM OWNERS WHO DO NOT WANT THE NEW ONES. ADDITIONALLY, SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS WILL BE INSTALLED ON CAMRY, AVALON AND LEXUS ES 350, IS 350 AND IS 250 MODELS THAT WILL ENSURE THAT THE BRAKE OVERRIDES THE ACCELERATOR IN THE EVENT BOTH BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS ARE APPLIED.
