The frame is rusting apart. The rear end has rust hole through it. I have already replaced the rack and pinion because it had quarter size hole rusted through it.

Catalytic converter failed at 55,023 miles and was replaced under warranty. The same catalytic converter failed again at 110,000 miles and when I went to a dealer was told that it wasn't under warranty and that I would have to pay $1200. 00 for the part alone and labor would be extra. I also told the dealer that the high rear brake light housing was melting from the heat of the lights. They did nothing. The frame is rusting badly and is becoming a safety hazard. I called Toyota customer service and they said there was no recall for any of these items and there was nothing they could do. "adaptive equipment" is listed as a choice under "affected parts". How about explaining exactly what is the definition of "adaptive equipment"?.

Column shifter overdrive on/off switch wire leads in 2004 Toyota Tundra fails or shorts out causing loss of control of overdrive setting on automatic transmission. This can cause downshifting at highway speed or your vehicle to not shift into overdrive causing poor fuel economy problem occurs after so many shift cycles of the column shifter from park to drive cause the wire leads to break from metal fatigue causing the failure or short in the switch my truck started this with about 123,000 miles on it. I found numerous posts on the web detailing the fix on this problem. Upon investigation I found the routing of the wires is causing the issue and you can see where Toyota has tried to tape the wires to give extra protection in a poor routing of the switch wires.
