One problem related to steering pinion shaft has been reported for the 2003 Toyota Tundra. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2003 Toyota Tundra based on all problems reported for the 2003 Tundra.
I have a 2003 Toyota Tundra which developed an exhaust leak. The aft oxygen sensor became detached from the exhaust system. Upon further inspection I noticed the attaching hardware was missing, it corroded. I inspected other hardware and noticed the steering shaft attach point has severe corrosion. The hardware that attaches the shaft to the steering gear rack and pinion is halfway corroded and will eventually fail. If the hardware fails loss of steering will occur. I live in new york and the truck has 100,000 miles on it. The truck is in great shape but frame and associated parts have corrosion.
