THE TUNDRA IS A 2011 AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL HAS BEEN THE ISSUE. I WAS ON A CITY STREET ABOUT 2AM WHEN A LOUD CRASH AND THUNDERING MADE DRIVING VERY HARD. THE REAR WHEEL HAD SHEARED OFF AND WAS PASSING ME BY AS I SLOWED DOWN SPARKS FLYING LIKE THE FOURTH OF JULY!! I HAD BEEN GOING 25 MILES AN HOUR IN A RESIDENTIAL SETTING. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER WHOM AGREED THIS WAS AN OBSCURE OCCURRENCE, TO WHICH THEY WARRANTIED AND FIXED IT. THIS OCCURRED AT 250,000 MILES SO THAT SEEMED LIKE A SATISFACTORY ENDING! HOWEVER, AT 3500 MILES LATER GOING 70MPH DOWN INTERSTATE 20 AT 4 AM A HORRENDOUS CRASH ( NOISE) AND ALMOST FLIPPING THE SAME TIRE SHEARED AGAIN PASSING ME BY!! I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDNT FLIP!

THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS TO WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE IS!! I FELT LIKE TOYOTA TOOK CARE OF ME REPAIR WISE BUT NEVER GOT A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM THEM ON THE CAUSE!!

CAM TOWER SEAL PROBLEMS CURRENTLY MY TUNDRA IS HAVING A CAMSHAFT TOWER SEALS PROBLEM/GASKET. I THOUGHT MY TRUCK WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY GRAND KIDS INSIDE WHILE DRIVING.'.WITH IT SMOKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR A TOYOTA. I THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE STOPPED BY NOW, BUT IT HAS NOT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. IN DOING MY RESEARCH, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A BIG REPAIR JOB AS IT REQUIRES DISMANTLING PART OF THE ENGINE; THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR THAT I CURRENTLY OWN (2011). THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL OTHER MODEL YEARS THAT IT IS ALSO HAPPENING AS WELL (2011-13), IN WHICH AGAIN CAN CAUSE THE TRUCK TO CATCH FIRE, HARMING OR EVEN KILLING SOMEONE. IF NOT COMPLETED NOW OR TAKE ANY ACTION, TOYOTA COULD LOSE MONEY. YOU COULD EVEN STOP LAWSUITS THAT WILL BE FORTHCOMING WITH THIS ISSUE IF SOMEONE IS HARMED OR EVEN KILLED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! THIS IS MY SIXTH TOYOTA PURCHASE. THE MAIN REASONS FOR ME CHOOSING TOYOTA OVER FORD, GM, ETC. ARE QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO FIX MY ISSUE AT NO COST TO ME AND MAYBE RECALL THIS ERROR THAT TOYOTA SHOULD BE AWARE OF ON THESE MODEL TUNDRA TRUCKS. THIS HONEST GESTURE WOULD BOLSTER MY CONFIDENCE IN THE REASONS I MADE IN PURCHASING A TOYOTA.
