1 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2010

My 2005 Tundra double cab 4x4 has an issue where you feel a strong thud and push forward coming from the transmission when you come to a stop (such as a stop sign or red light). Toyota's only fix if to grease the propeller/drive shafts well. I do this with each oil change but the condition persists even after lubing the powertrain. Other Tundra owners have reported this as a common issue with this vehicle. Toyota should consider a more suitable fix than just applying grease. This issue has existed for years in my Tundra.

2 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 05/04/2005

The frame and cross members are deteriorated to the point of breaking. The front driveshaft and steering linkage is excessively deteriorated. The brake and fuel tank brackets are also deteriorated and are failing to support attached components.
