FRAME MOUNT FOR GAS TANK HAS RUSTED AND FUEL TANK IS DROPPING DOWN. LAST YEAR AN UNDERCOATING WAS APPLIED BY A TOYOTA DEALER AND IS PEELING OFF IN CERTAIN AREAS. I BELIEVE PURSUANT TO THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REFERRED TO AS BRIAN WARNER ET AL TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION MY VEHICLE MAY BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE GAS TANK STRAP MOUNTING IS PART OF THE FRAME. AS OF NOW, MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I NOTICED THE TANK STRAP WAS HANGING DOWN FROM THE FRAME AND THE GAS TANK WAS ALSO HANGING DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

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

ON DECEMBER 3, 2011 I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON A PAVED LOCAL ROAD AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE TRUCK JUST DROPPED SEVERAL INCHES AFTER A LOUD SNAP SOUND. INITIALLY I THOUGHT THE FRONT WHEEL HAD COME OF THE TRUCK SOMEHOW BECAUSE IT WAS A FAIRLY VIOLENT DROP. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED THE WHEEL, EVERYTHING LOOKED TO BE IN TACT. NEXT I GOT ON THE GROUND AND NOTICED RIGHT AWAY THAT THE FRONT STRUT HAD SNAPPED IN HALF. I CONSIDERED THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM, SO I CONTACTED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THE RESPONSE I GOT WAS... "HOW MANY MILES ARE ON YOUR TUNDRA"? I REPLIED 46,500. THE NEXT RESPONSE WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING - WITH NO OTHER INQUIRY INTO THE SITUATION, THE TECHNICIAN SAID, "WELL, YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THE 3YR / 36,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE STRUTS SO YOU CAN HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO OUR SHOP AND WE CAN REPLACE IT FOR YOU". I'M THINKING WOW!!! THAT'S THE RESPONSE AFTER I JUST TELL A TOYOTA SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT A FACTORY PART JUST RANDOMLY FAILED AND COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NEXT I CONTACTED THE NATIONAL HOTLINE FOR TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE. THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WOULD BE DOCUMENTED AND THANKED ME FOR CALLING IN WITH MY CONCERN. THIS IS MY 3RD TUNDRA AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS BEFORE. ALL IN ALL, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A MAJOR COMPONENT LIKE A STRUT FAILED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. EVEN MORE DISAPPOINTING IS THE REACTION I RECEIVED FROM BOTH MY LOCAL DEALER AND THE NATIONAL CUSTOMER HOTLINE. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT A NIGHTMARE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN IF I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE STRUT FAILED? I RECOMMEND EVERY GEN 2 TUNDRA OWNER TAKE A LOOK AND MAKE SURE YOU DON'T SEE ANY KIND OF STRESS CRACKS, OR ANYTHING THAT LOOKS ODD WITH YOUR FRONT STRUTS. FOR THE RECORD - I DON'T OFFROAD OR DRIVE MY TRUCK HARD....AND ALL MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE AND DOCUMENTED! *TR

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.
