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

SO LONG STORY SHORT MY 2008 DOUBLE CAB 6.5 FOOT BED WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE FACTORY OR DEALER (IN MID 2009) INSTALLED PLASTIC BED LINER RUBBING THE PAINT OFF IN THE BED AND DISCOLORATION OF THE BACK BUMPER OR DELAMINATION AS TOYOTA CALLED IT. TOYOTA REPLACED THE BUMPER FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO THE CORROSION WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP NOT UNDERCOATING THE BACK OF THE BUMPER, GREAT NO PROBLEM THERE. BUT NEVER IN ANY OF THE RECORDS DID THE SERVICE REP RECORD THAT THE BED COULD CORRODE! LATER TO FIND OUT WHEN TAKING THE TRUCK TO GET A SPRAY IN LINER I DROPPED IT OFF IN AUGUST OF 2016 LATER TO GET A CALL SAYING I SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT MY BED BEFORE THEY DID ANY WORK TO FIND A HOLE ROTTEN THROUGH THE BED AN PAINT THAT WAS BUBBLED, CRACKED AND FLACKING OFF. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE TO FIND A TSB FOR MY EXACT PROBLEM. ITS TSB-0101-12, I NEVER GOT WORD OF THIS TILL I DUG ONLINE TO FIND THIS! I TOOK THE TRUCK TO TOYOTA TO BE TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. SO I CONTACTED THE NORTH EAST REGIONAL CLAIMS MANAGER TO BE TOLD THAT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECORD OF THIS COMPLAINT DURING THE WARRANTEE PERIOD THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. WOULD ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE ON WHERE TO TURN I MIGHT TRADE THE TRUCK IN TO NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE BED

I HAVE A REMOTE START SYSTEM ON MY TRUCK, I REMOTE START MY TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE, NOSE POINTING IN TOWARDS HOUSE. THE DRIVEWAY DROPS OFF INTO A SLOPE, BUT THE TRUCK WAS ON THE FLAT SURFACE AREA. WE GO OUTSIDE TO GET IN IT, AND IT'S GONE. IT'S NOT IN THE DRIVEWAY AND IT'S NO WHERE TO BE SEEN. I LOOK OVER TOWARDS THE CREEK, NOPE NOT THERE. LOOK OUT FRONT, THERE'S MY TRUCK AND IT IS BACKED UP ON HALF IN THE STREET HALF IN THEN THE FRONT YARD. IT'S SITTING WHERE OUR MAILBOX SHOULD BE. IT IS RUNNING AND SIDE MARKER LIGHTS ARE LIT. I GO LOOK, OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR TO SEE IF ANYBODY IS IN IT, NOPE, NOT A SOUL. IT'S IN PARK, THE 4 WD LO ALARM IS BEEPING, THE 4LO LED IS LIT ON THE DASH, HOWEVER, THE SWITCH/KNOB IS STILL ON THE 2WD MODE POSITION. I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE MOTOR CUTS OFF. SO THE REMOTE START SAFETY FEATURES WERE WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE PHOTOS AND A VIDEO (DAY AFTER) SHOWING WHERE THE TRUCK LANDED AND THE PATH IT TRAVELED. I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTS YET AS THIS OCCURRED LAST NIGHT. DEALERSHIP HAS THE TRUCK AND WILL BE EVALUATING THE REAR END AND DRIVE SHAFT, BUT INSURANCE WILL NOT PAY FOR INSPECTION OF THE TRANSMISSION. CAUSE OF ACCIDENT IS UNKNOWN, BUT SPECULATE SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE PARKED.
THE TRUCK BED FLOOR HAS RUSTED AT ALL FOUR HOLD DOWN BOLTS AND HAS EXPANDED TO OTHER ASPECTS OF TRUCK BED FLOOR ITSELF.

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.
