general problems of the 2005 Toyota Tundra

2005 Toyota Tundra double cab. When stationary on cold start: vehicle produces a loud noise and additional carbon monoxide/exhaust, causing additional danger when starting in a garage. When in motion: truck operates as intended until acceleration is attempted, causing a major safety concern when merging onto highways, driving up an incline, or any other driving situation where the gas application is necessary. When in motion: venting and interior air controls cannot be used based on the amount of exhaust that will spill into the cab of the truck. This is a problem that is widely known to the Toyota community, and to drivers of Toyota Tundras in particular. Of note, thousands of messages can be easily accessed in the Toyota message boards (tundra talk, Toyota nation, Tundras. Com, Tundra solutions). In addition, there is a separate cottage industry that has sprung up as a result, where manufacturers are producing bypass kits that compromise the exhaust standards set by you all, where an entire business model has been created to profit off of these issues. One of the primary parties is hewitt-tech. When advised at a Toyota dealership, the repair quote was $2568 out of pocket. When speaking to Toyota customer experience, I was told they do not anticipate addressing the issue, as it is not enough of a problem. In greater research, it is apparent they are either aware but unwilling to remedy the situation because a) the scope is far too widespread within their truck market (every Toyota Tundra is subject to recall) or b) the scope is too widespread throughout their entire marketshare (similar problems are indicated with the corolla and other passenger cars). This is negligent and dangerous and needs to be addressed.

My vehicle suddenly lost power because the plastic fan in the secondary injection system broke and the pieces blew into the exhaust ports and melt, sticking up the exhaust ports. The vehicle doesn't run right and is a safety hazard because of a design problem. Toyota accepts the problem and has extended the vehicle warranties for the 2007-2010 model years, but not for my model year. Repair has cost me over $3,000 for their mistake. It is a safety hazard. It should be recalled.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that when the accelerator pedal was depressed the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the air injector pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000. Ah.

Loss of acceleration power. Dealer quote $3,745 to replace pump/valve/driver assemblies. Told by repair shop same issue as technical bulletin addressed on 2007-2010 Tundras power issues. If true, seems a recall should have been required to repair 2005 year models.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Tundra. The contact was driving 45 mph when the vehicle failed to increase speed after the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer confirmed that the pump assembly air switch needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 57,500 and the current mileage was 57,700.

I drive a 2005 Toyota Tundra that has accelerated about a dozen times since I bought it. Seems that when I hit a major bump that's rising across the lane I'm in and go across it, my truck will accelerate momentarily without me pressing on the gas pedal. I cannot always duplicate this action and when I go to the dealer it comes back as problem not found. As I mentioned it's only occurred maybe a dozen times since 2005 but it is a concern after all the recalls that Toyota has had. I recently completed 95,000 miles on my vehicle and have been happy with it's performance with this exception.

I have experienced floor mat entanglement issues and uncommanded accelerations with my 2005 Tundra double cab. I also have experienced a clunking sound in my brakes/front end when I shift into reverse and then apply the brakes. The dealer has told me all of these issues are normal which according to the recalls for other model years they are clearly not normal. Can the 05 Tundras be added to the current recalls and can the brake issue be addressed?.

My gas pedal has repeatedly continued to stick in my 2005 Toyota Tundra. It continues to accelerate, even when my foot is completely off of the gas pedal. I have contacted the dealer and have yet to receive a response.

2005 Toyota Tundra experience electronic failure the consumer stated the mechanical or electronic failure caused an accident as well as injuries. The consumer stated all he remembered was exiting the highway in evening traffic when all of a sudden, his vehicle rammed into the vehicle in front of him. The air bags deployed prior to the collision and he had no recollection of being able to brake. He also stated the engine failed in June 2009. The consumer was informed there must have been something wrong with the seams in the radiator. Apparently, it blew out the bottom, which caused the instantaneous loss of the radiator fluid.

2005 Toyota Tundra -- 3 times it sped up on its own. Either floormat and/or accelerator. Third time there was a crash, into our retaining wall in our driveway. I tried to get people to pay attention, contacted customer service, etc. , at Toyota, no one believed it. Also insurance company said it was driver's fault.

Parking brake engaged partially. Also the engine idled too fast. This combination lead to the vehicle to start moving unexpectedly. As a result my wife injurered her foot and damage to the vehicle was sustained. This could have easily resulted in a fatality.

- the contact stated that on two separate occasions while driving the 2005 Toyota Tundra with 28,000 failure mileage the vehicle lurched forward with his foot depressed on the brake pedal. The ignition had to be turned off to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, and they found nothing wrong. The contact received recall 05v123000 pertaining to vehicles with dual exhaust.

I purchased this vehicle used aprox 10 years ago. The issue that I have had looked at by Toyota dealership remains unresolved. When you take your foot off the brake it immediately lunges forward and travels without foot on the gas up to speed of 15 mph on flat level ground. It is definitely not safe. It could cause?an accident. My brother's insisted that I have it looked at by Toyota dealership. I have not had a satisfactory answer to this issue. Again the answer remains there has been no recall. Could it be a timing chain issue?.

Long delay between depressing "drive-by-wire" gas pedal and engine responding. My 2005 Toyota Tundra has an electronic gas pedal. It's unacceptable behavior may explain some of the current "surging" people are seeing in other Toyotas. This is a 100% software problem (I am a electronic engineer). Description: when the engine is at idle, or even worse, when you are decelerating at idle power, and you increase the throttle position of the gas pedal, there is a nearly 1-second delay before the engine responds to the throttle input. If the driver, not sensing any response to throttle, applies more and more throttle during that one second delay, when the engine electronic throttle finally does respond it will immediately go to the highest throttle setting the driver was selecting, causing a huge lurching forward action of the vehicle. For example, if the driver applied throttle in this fashion: 0sec=5% throttle; 0. 25sec=10% throttle; 0. 5 sec=20% throttle; 0. 75sec=35% throttle; 1. 0sec=50% throttle. The engine's electronic throttle will respond like this: 0sec=0% throttle; 0. 25sec=0% throttle; 0. 5 sec=0% throttle; 0. 75sec=0% throttle; 1. 0sec=50% throttle. Causing the huge lurch at 1. 0 second. This has been especially dangerous while changing lanes during stop-and-go traffic in the san francisco bay area. Please note that if I am running at partial power/throttle, this behavior does not happen, and the gas pedal response is proper. Only from idle or decelerating. I have complained numerous times to my Toyota dealer, to which the service manager finally replied to me "you think the Tundra is bad. . . You should try driving the sienna! it's worse!" so apparently the folks at Toyota know about this and think it's funny. I can demonstrate this defect at any time. I have changed my driving style to protect me from the vehicle's defect.

I bought a 2003 Toyota Tundra 4x4 and since I bought it I felt that when I was at a stop light my truck accelerated by itself making a huge noise at the rear end axel I took my truck to a Toyota dealer and they said it they find nothing wrong but the problem continued for the 2 years I had the truck then I bough a 2005 Tundra also 4x4 and it has the same problem dealer don't do anything to solve my problem sometimes it feels like if someone hits the truck from behind like a sudden jump or push.
